Sex Toy Reviews

Graduated Pleasure

 

 

Guess what showed up at my door last week?  Lucky Kitty that I am, I got the entire set of Oasis Vibrators  from Babeland!  Designed for women who have experienced painful penetration, gone through radiation, chemotherapy, or menopause,  these little treasures showed up in three distinctly beautiful boxes.

I wish my camera showed you just how gorgeous the box really is, but it doesn't do the box justice at all.  Each box has a little "window" which you can see your vibrator in, all snug and nestled up in its boxy-bed.  The box I've chosen to picture here, is the Midi vibe, but all of the boxes are the same design with a different color to match the toy inside.

These toys come in three sizes, Slim, Midi, and Maxi.  I'm going to take you through my experience with each toy, one by one.  The specs remain the same though, so let me give you a quick run down on care and cleaning.  First off, none of the toys have a smell at all!  This is great news for those of us with sensitive noses.  They also are all the same vibration strength, which I think is about a 3 out of 5.  They are all made from hard ABS plastic, and body safe as they are phthalates free.  They are simple to wash, just use soap and water or a mild toy cleaner, if you like.    These toys are safe to use with all types of lubricant, so go wild.  ^^  The Oasis Vibrators are also multi-speed.  Turn the dial to the left to turn it on, the further to the left you turn it, the stronger the vibrations.  One plus to these vibes is that the dial to turn on the speeds "clicks" as you turn it both on and off.  I really liked that.  If you turn any of these toys on, and shut your door, I doubt anyone would hear it.  They are pretty quiet for toys which are so powerful.

First off, we have the Slim.  (The Slim is the periwinkle colored one all the way to the left in my picture.)  The Slim Oasis Vibe is slim indeed!  It is 8" long, with only 6 of thoes inches being insertable.  It is also only .5" wide.  This toy, as with ALL these Oasis vibrators is exceptionally smooth and very comfortable to insert.  Playing with the toy vaginally, I was very excited.  This toy is probably what I could consider to be my "perfect width".  I did not feel the slightest bit stretched with the Slim.  It felt comfortable, and really easy to use.  What I found to be extra nice was the length of the toy.  It is really hard to find a 6" long vibrator which is this thin.  Lovely.  One *major* drawback to this toy is the battery compartment.  The Slim takes 3 AAA batteries (Which are not included, but Babeland sells individual batteries, if you need!) which pop right in once you unscrew the bottom.  The problem with this, is that the slim is so skinny that I truly could *not* get the batteries back out of the toy once I got them in.  This was really disappointing for me, because after these batteries die, I will be unable to make the toy vibrate.  Vibration is something I really value in vaginal toys though, so that will totally ruin the experience for me.  Luckily, I've *Ahem* "Tested" this toy about 6 times already though, with no sign of the battery weakening.  So, hopefully it will last me a while.

This toy has two uses, I've found.  It works wonders vaginally, but if you put a condom on the toy, it is also an excellent size for beginner anal play.  Just remember not to go back and fourth from anus to vagina without properly cleaning the toy. :)

Sadly, I'm going to have to give the Slim three paws, due to the *major* battery issue. :(

The Midi!

The Midi is a great little vibe.  (The Midi is the purple one pictured in the middle of the other two vibes).  It too is 8" long, with 6 of those inches being insertable.  The difference here is that this toy is double the width of the Slim.  At 1" insertable, this toy is great for working your way up to bigger toys, or your partner, if you have one.  I found that the Midi did feel like a slight stretch for me, but it worked just as well as the Slim performance wise, with the exception of being able to get the batteries out of the compartment.  ^.~  The Midi takes 2 AA batteries, also not included.

I really enjoyed this toy, and am giving it 5 paws:

The Maxi:

The Maxi vibe is the largest of the Oasis Vibrators, (The one closest to the tight in my picture) and I found it to be wonderful for working up to taking Master's penis.  Truthfully, we always warm me up with smaller vibrators first because I always have a hard time taking his girth.  (It has wound up with me getting some slight tears sometimes if we don't warm me up right with toys first.)  This does not depend on how turned on I am.  He is just bigger than my vagina *wants* to take, so I have found that these Oasis Vibrators really have been a blessing.  The Maxi is also 8" long, but it has an insertable length of 6.75", and is 1.5" wide.  This toy was the most useful for us in getting me ready to play with Masters cock.  It really did feel like a stretch for me,  but using this toy made taking a real penis much more comfortable, and for that I am thankful.  This vibe also takes 2 AA batteries, not included.

The Maxi is just as smooth and easy to use as the other vibrators, and so for that I'm giving this toy a grateful 5 paws.
All of these toys felt really great clitorally, as well!  All of the toys come with a packet of Silk lube, which I must admit I did not test as it wasn't vegan. :(   Don't worry.  I gave the packets to a friend of mine with a glycerin allergy, because this lube is totally glycerin free!

Thank you so much, Babeland, for the opportunity to try our the Oasis Vibrators in exchange for an honest and fair review.  <3

Fluid: Men Redefining Sexuality

Recently, the generous people over at GoodVibes.com gave me the chance to try out the Fluid: Men Redefining Sexuality DVD.  This is one of the first adult DVD's in a while, which I really loved.  The film is Directed by Madison Young, and is put out by Reel Queer Productions/Good Releasing.  The movie includes the following stars:  Amber Raine, Constance, Devi Lynne, Gabriel D'Alessandro, Jack Hammer, Kade, Mark Frenchy, Rose, and Tommy Midas.

The movie is 89 minutes long, but it is not all porn.  There's an interview section between each scene in which the cast talks about their sexual interests, how they got to be where they are today, sexually speaking, and they were just delightful to watch.  It was really fun not only watching the actors enjoy themselves in the scenes, but also to get inside their heads a little bit and hear what THEY had to say about sexuality.

The actual scenes were amazing as well.  I'm the type of gal who enjoys some really rough sex.  Generally, when I buy a porn which includes rough sex, 90% of the time the cast members are not enjoying it - and you can tell just by looking at their faces..  Not sexy to me at all.  One of the things that Fluid: Men Redefining Sexuality got oh-so-right is that their cast truly enjoys what they do, you can tell just by watching.  None of this is acted.  I almost hated to cut away from the actual sex scenes to listen to the interviews, but the interviews were really great too, so there was no real complaint there. ;)

Apparently, I am not the only person who has noticed how amazing this DVD is, either.  Fluid: Men won the 2010 Feminist Porn Awards for best Bi movie.  Splendid!  If you're the type to be turned on by sexy men and women getting it on, enjoying themselves, really truly ENJOYING themselves, then I HIGHLY recommend this film.

5 Hearty Paws:

Thank you so much, GoodVibes, for providing me with this DVD in exchange for an honest and fair review.

Splish Splash, How About A Lustre Bath?

Recently, the people over at GoodVibes.com gave me the opportunity to try out a new waterproof toy.  Master and me take a bath together every night, and we're always looking for more ways to have fun in the tub.  The Lustre Vibe by Doc Johnsons was IT for us.

First off, the lustre vibe is really, truly waterproof.  Most vibes I get tend to short out after one or two uses, not so with the lustre vibe.  This thing is so well built, it is truly a thing of beauty.  A thing of beauty for your ass or vag that is. ;)   We named my lustre vibe "Boney" because, well, we think that the handle looks kind of like a bone.  Hey!  Not all the names are going to be gems!  ;)

Boney came in a pretty standard package:  a box with a see through panel on the front.  The box was rather pretty, but nothing amazing.  On the box you can find out lots of useful information.  For instance, your new lustre vibe is non-toxic, and 100% phthalate free.  The toy is made from TPR and is totally silicone lube compatible, which means you could use any other lube you like too, I prefer water based.  Use whatever you enjoy most. <3

When I first opened up the packaging, this toy STUNK!  Absolutely REEKED.  To me, the smell was like a nail polish remover.  Not sexy at all.  You know what that means, don't you? ;)   It means Boney got a nice tub bath *immediately*.  I got her all sudsy in mild soap and water (that's all you need with this toy, but feel free to use a toy cleaner if you like!), and gave her a good scrubbin'.  After the initial scrub, she was MUCH better.  This time, she smelled MUCH less noticeably.  As in, you're going to have to jam her up your nose to smell her, and instead of smelling like nail polish remover, it was more of a faint plastic-y smell.  For me, this was no longer a put off, because you are going to need to REALLY inhale deeply and concentrate to notice anything after the initial washing.  Washing however, does not seem to prevent this toy from picking up cat hair, and dander, and all sorts of other things around the house.  My toy just seemed like a dust magnet, so be sure to wash it really well before AND after use.

The toy takes two AAA batteries, which do NOT come with it.  Luckily we had a few kicking around, so, I grab the batteries, and proceed to put them in.  Wait.  How do I insert these?  Uh..?  I looked inside the box and found no instructions.  The toy is nearly seamless, and I just could not for the life of me figure this out at first.  Turning the handle to the right was really easy, and did not produce any "loosening" of the handle.  Turning the handle to the left didn't do anything for me either at first.  Hmm, so, turning the handle to the right must be how I turn this peculiar little toy on.  I tried pulling, pushing, but could NOT figure out how to get this thing open. Call me stupid.  >.<  Eventually I figured out that if you turn REALLY REALLY hard towards the left, your toy is going to pop right open.  Later I asked Master if he could figure out how to open the toy without help.  The damned turd got it open on the first try without batting an eye lash.  (Love you anyway!)

Once you get your toy open, you'll realise it has no O ring.  "But, Kitty," you'll want to ask.  "How on earth is this thing waterproof without an O ring of some kind?"  Ah, glad you asked.  You see, this toy is built really, really well.  The handle fits *perfectly* into the top part of the toy, AND it has a whole lot of threading in order to screw or unscrew it.  We've used this toy several times in the bathtub now, and we have had no issues yet. Just be sure to screw the handle on tightly.

Overall length of the toy is 5.5 inches from handle to tip, with the soft squishy part of the toy being about 3.5 inches insertable.  Technically, because this toy is waterproof, you could insert the whole thing, but then you're not going to have a handle to hold on to.  The toy is shaped like a sword (which I proudly proclaimed while yelling "En guard!" and holding it real close to Master's chest.  I think he quivered a bit.  Tee hee!) with the widest part (hereafter known as the "hilt") measuring 5.5 inches around.  That, for me at least, is a lot of toy to take.  I had a hard time doing it on my own, and didn't get anywhere with it until Master got me REALLY hot and bothered, AND lubed the hell out of this thing.  That being said, once I managed to get the toy in, it felt really, really good.  Another awesome thing about this toy is that it isn't "round" per se.  Both sides of it are completely flat, with a "reservoir" running down the middle of it.  This is one of my favorite features about the lustre vibe, as it feels really, really good just holding it on top of your clit.

I tried some minor anal play with this toy, but the 5.5 inch hilt just was not going to happen.  Because of that, I'd have to rate the toy down for anal play (unless you're a really seasoned anal toy player!), and personally for me, this toy is going to stay a vaginal toy.

One last thing that Master and me enjoyed a whole LOT about this toy is that it is PERFECT for a gag!  Simply take the "hilt" and place it square in your partners mouth.  It held my mouth open really well at 5.5 inches.  Another fun aspect of this for me was that there are no strings or cords around the toy, so you've obviously got to be at your best when holding it in!

All in all, I really am enjoying this toy.  It is just perfect for tubbie time, and feels really good internally too.  I'm giving it 5 paws!
Thank you GoodVibes for the opportunity to try this toy in exchange for an honest and fair review. <3
