Well carry on then!

The Sex A-Peel Vibrator that my friends at Babeland sent me is about the size and shape of a real banana – well, a pink one.   The banana part is made of silicone and comes with a bullet vibe that you insert to turn it from a dildo into a vibrator.  The bullet runs on watch batteries (which, thank goodness, come already inside, with a slip of paper preventing the toy from turning on during shipping), and turns on and off with the press of a button on one end. Since the bullet is removable, it’s super easy to sterilize the banana between uses by boiling it or throwing it in the dishwasher (esp important if you plan to share with friends or use it anally as well).

What I liked: When I said I’d review this toy, it was partly because I thought it looked funny; but once I tested it out, I was REALLY impressed with how well the silicone banana transmits the vibrations of the bullet.  It does a fine job externally (on a clit) and a decent job inside (as a g-spot vibe) because the banana has a great curve.  The tapered tip of the banana is also great for user who might need to ease in toys – it’s not the thickest in my toy box, but I would say that it’s medium-ly thick.

What I didn’t like: Maybe I’m going about it wrong (but it’s such a simple toy, I’m not sure that’s possible), but I can’t get the bullet back out of the banana!  It might take some lubrication to get it out, but that’s kind of a pain.  Also, that little bullet is a little on the loud side.

This toy would be great for: someone looking for a unique toy.  I think this one is novel enough that a lot of toy fans wouldn’t consider buying this for themselves, but it does work well, so it would be a fun gift.

The Sex A-Peel Vibe impressed me, I give it a 6 out of 10:

How do you guys like these video reviews?

The Rhythm O Triple Kiss from California Exotics has a long name, but that’s because it has A LOT [...]]]> We’re still experiencing issues with uploading images,
but writing posts seems to be working now!
Hurray!
So while we wait for the long-overdue Cocktoberfest closing ceremonies, allow me to entertain you with a new toy review!

The Rhythm O Triple Kiss from California Exotics has a long name, but that’s because it has A LOT of features.  For instance: the entire shaft is lined with rotating beads, the shaft rotates at 3 different speeds, the clit stim has 3 nubs (hence the “triple kiss”), you can control the shaft rotation and clit vibration independently of one another, there are 7 fantastic vibration programs, AND, if you aren’t sure what you feel like, you can press the “hot” button and a random combination of shaft rotation and clit vibration will be selected for you!

The whole thing runs on 4 AAA batteries, and the shaft/clit stim are made of phthalate-free TPE.  It’s a fairly thick toy, so be cautious if you’re a smaller girl or are considering using this one for anal play.

What I liked:  I liked the depth of the shaft rotation, I’ve said before that rotating shafts sometimes make me nauseous, but this one was just fine. I also enjoyed the thickness of the shaft; I’m a smaller girl, but I find that I have no problem with thicker toys if I’m properly warmed up before I start using them.  I loved the vibration programs – there’s one that’s like a roller-coaster: the vibration builds and builds and builds and then drops away, and then builds and builds again..etc – very awesome!  I also thought the “Hot” button was a fun touch.

What I didn’t like: My roommate wasn’t home, so it wasn’t a big deal, but this is certainly not one of my quieter toys.  It’s better with the shaft rotation off (that’s always pretty noisy) though.

This toy would be great for: rabbit vibe enthusiasts!  It’s easy to use, has some excellent vibration programs; but it’s not terribly quiet, so wouldn’t be great for someone who needs to be sneaky with their toys.

Triple Kiss gets an enthusiastic 7 out of 10:

The Alien Fleshlight my friends I didn’t think such a thing was possible, and now I really wish I had a dick to try it out [...]]]> You know what I love?
When a sex toy company not only decides to cash in on a fad, but decides to go balls to the wall with it.

The Alien Fleshlight my friends
I didn’t think such a thing was possible,
and now I really wish I had a dick to try it out with!

I love love love that they are pairing it with the This Ain’t Avatar XXX DVD too.

If any of my male readers get one – PLEASE send me an e-mail and tell me what’s it’s like!!

I mean sure it just looks like a vag with two clits – but it’s blue!
and has a custom interior – and it’s blue!
I really like that shade of blue.

That is all
Carry on

Tenga is quickly becoming recognized as a major player in the jack-off device game (if fact, I’ve reviewed the squeeze play in the past) – though their products aren’t as durable as something like a Fleshlight, they are cheaper, which does make them attractive to guys/couples who’d like to try a sleeve but don’t want [...]]]>

Tenga is quickly becoming recognized as a major player in the jack-off device game (if fact, I’ve reviewed the squeeze play in the past) – though their products aren’t as durable as something like a Fleshlight, they are cheaper, which does make them attractive to guys/couples who’d like to try a sleeve but don’t want to invest too much coin.

The Tenga Egg definitely fits this description – it runs fairly cheap (currently US$8.50), but is not meant to sustain too many uses (more on that later).  The packaging for this sleeve is pretty great – it looks like an egg (hence the name) and would be discrete enough to pack in your carry-on if you wanted to take it on a trip (it would also pass a cursory room inspection by a not too nosy parent or date).  If fact, I actually had to have this toy transported to me by a male friend and he had no clue what it was.

Once you open up the egg container, the sleeve inside can be removed – it’s super soft and feels a bit delicate (which goes with the egg theme even more).  The sleeve is egg shaped with a hole in one end and is made of thermo-plastic elastomer, which is phthalate free, but slightly porous, so this is not a toy for sharing (unless you use condoms).

Since I still don’t have a futa penis, I recruited someone with a penis to help me properly review this masturbation sleeve.  He found the egg shape a little weird, but was willing to give it a try.  The Tenga Egg comes with a sachet of lube, so we lubed it up and got to the testing.

What he liked:  He did like how soft the sleeve felt, and, of course, it did stretch to fit over his non-egg shaped penis just fine.  It was pretty neat, because you can grip the “body” off the egg comfortably without getting lube on your hand while you use it, and when the end sleeve stretches tight over the penis it goes transparent.  He said he preferred it to the Squeeze Play in some ways because you can grip the Egg sleeve as hard as you want.

Eventually we did end up ripping a hole in the end of the sleeve, which was a little disappointing (I’d heard they were fragile, but this was it’s first use!); however, the rip in the tip didn’t really impede our continuing to use it. Even with two openings, it still works just fine as an assist for jerking off – but it does mean that you need some other sort of cum receptacle handy for when you finish.

What he didn’t like: Like I said, it was disappointing that the Egg sleeve ripped so easily, he didn’t think that made it a very good value (though, like I said above, you can keep using it just fine with the rip in it).  He also didn’t really like that it was egg shaped, he explained that this is because, while the egg shape is fun to hold, the toy is really meant to fit over a dick, which is long, not round. This isn’t a real complaint, but the Egg we were trying was the Spider: it has a texture grid inside, which my tester said he couldn’t really feel.

This toy would be great for: I actually think that the Tenga Eggs would make a fun gift – I could see a couple bringing a few with them on vacation for fun or even one partner buying them for the other (preferably one with a penis) before they leave on a trip.  The Tenga Eggs are also sold in a six-pack, which does get you a bit of a discount.   Like I said above, the Eggs are also pretty discrete if you want to travel with them or are worried about a casual visitor spotting one in your room. Like it’s Tenga brothers, the Eggs are a relatively inexpensive (and body friendly) way to experiment with masturbation aids, if you don’t mind having something that will only last you a few uses.

We give the Tenga Egg a 5 out of 10 because we wish it was a little more durable or cheaper.
