If you came here looking for Shauna by Night you have found it - but not as you remember it. Shauna used to do all of the heavy lifting around here but she has moved on to other projects so the inmates have taken over the asylum. We hope you enjoy what we have decided to do with her site. Happy New Year!

Mini Jelly Teaser
After playing with countless toys anything that isn't shaped like a bullet is worth a look. This thing looks like an alien gizmo of some kind - always a plus. When I got mine I anxiously pulled it out if its packaging and headed for the lab (my bedroom). I got naked, stretched out and relaxed. After warming myself up with some gentle touching I reached for the gizmo and set it to work on my clit. It wasn't an explosion of pleasure but the little guy got me going pretty good. I fantasized about being taken by my favorite movie pirate on a desert island somewhere and drifted off into orgasm land. It took me a while, but I was in the mood for slow and sexy so I didn't mind.
Bubble Head
You know, it's really hard to write about something you don't have strong feelings about. I neither liked nor hated Doc Johnson's Bubblehead. It's another in a growing line of toys that vibrate and rotate - and I'm not impressed with any of them. I didn't much care for the jelly material it's made of, and I found the "bubbles" a bit too rough for my delicate insides. However, the vibration gets pretty strong and the rotating movement can feel like petting on your clit if you do it right. It's a pretty good toy especially if you're fond of the rotating-type. I'm not. So you're on your own.

Energie
Natural Contours has engineered a fantastic Kegel exerciser. All of us ladies know that we should do our exercises so we stay firm and tight, both for our own pleasure and for our partners. But, as with most exercise plans, it tends to get pushed to the bottom of the priority list. This baby will entice you to bring it up to the top of the list. Not only does the Energie bring with it all the benefits of Kegel exercises, but it feels absolutely wonderful in the process. It's smooth, heavy (relatively), and perfectly shaped for its purpose. One end is slightly bigger than the other to accommodate all sizes, and the instructions included explain the exercise clearly. After my first set of reps, I was running for my vibrator to finish myself off. I figured cumming around it would only add to my workout. Right? I strongly recommend adding the Energie to any healthy sexual lifestyle. I never thought exercising could be so much fun!

The Cone
The Cone is an amazing device. It's one helluva powerful motor wrapped inside pink silicone with 16 different programs to hold your interest. It takes three C-batteries to get started, so I bet you can guess that the results are impressive. Using the Cone is an exercise for your imagination. Getting into funky positions so that the best part of you rests on the best part of it is fun. Then switch to another rhythym or up the strength of the vibration with the two buttons on the front. With one press of Button One the cone turns on, a second press of Button One jumps directly to program 16 - the ultimate orgasm inducer according to ConeZone, and Button Two cycles from program 1 through program 16.
I, however, didn't happen to find 16 my magic number, and I really found that not being able to go back to a previous program without going all the way around again kind of frustrating. It definitely made experimenting a bit tedious. In my humble opinion, the perfect addition to The Cone would be a remote with each program on a separate button so you could go back and forth quickly and easily from whatever position you happen to have found works for you. Beside that, though, The Cone is a truly wonderful thing. It's new and different and the possibilities are endless. I look forward to continuing my exploration. You know . . . I think this thing may even be big enough to invite a friend to help. Hmmm . . .

Fund Raiser
My new friends at WhisPur have decided to help out one of their local planned parenthood centers by donating some of the proceeds of selected toys. I love the idea -- use toys instead of going out and getting pregnant. Fantastic! So, if you were considering getting a toy for a special friend for Christmas, consider one of these. Then you'll both get to feel good. Here is what they have to say about it -
"WhisPur has selected 10 items from the product
line, that when purchased either thorough a home party or via a website
sale, $1.00 for each of those items sold will be donated to Planned
Parenthood of Maryland for the Peer Educators Group. The fundraiser kicks
off on November 1 and runs until December 3rd, 2006. All information
can be viewed on the website. You can click on a
link to find out additional information about this group, and there are
links to the 10 items that when purchased, will help this cause. By
hosting a home party, you still earn all the benefits of being a Hostess!

offered through out the US, please contact us to see if we have a representative
in your area. Call 1-888-561-7751 or email Fundraiser@whispur.com"
Ruby Red Spinner Baton
The Ruby Red Spinner Baton is a great first pyrex dildo. It is beautiful, it is streamlined, and its smallish size is perfect for those intimidated by huge phalluses. Each end of this toy feels different, and I love the way it starts out cold and warms to body temperature with use. It's hard and unyielding, but in this case, that's a really good thing.
If you are unfamiliar with pyrex, let me enlighten you. It's awesome! It's safe (meaning it is nonporous and can be sterilized in boiling water or dishwasher), it's practically unbreakable, and it can be warmed in water or cooled in the fridge or freezer. Phallix also does really cool things with the colors and textures of their pyrex dildos. The downside is that pyrex is expensive, but it's well worth the price.

Bushplug
It's Halloween-time again, and I found something truly scary and wonderful - more terrifying than the Satan Dildo that I reviewed last year. Yes, that's right, it's a Bush butt plug! Now, you too can feel the "power" of our president. Please check it out now!
Crystal Sleevz
The Crystal Sleevz set is a 7" vibrator with two jelly sleeves that fit snugly over the vibe. The vibrator is a slender one with a pretty powerful motor and the usual twist low-to-high knob on the bottom. The sleeves come in two shapes: one lifelike and the other with a curved tip for hitting your g-spot.
They both feel pretty damn good, and the vibration carries through the jelly just fine. My biggest complaint, though, is that the jelly feels cheap and sticky. I actually yanked out a few hairs that got stuck to it when I put it in my mouth to wet it. Ouch! I guess you gotta use lube instead of spit with this toy.

Lucid Dreams No. 28
The Lucid Dreams No. 28 is one of a line of new Doc Johnson toys. It's a soft jelly vibrator with a powerful motor and a twist on/off base. It's waterproof and pretty quiet too. In true Doc Johnson form, the Lucid Dreams are of superb quality. It's also kind of neat to be able to see inside the toy. No. 28 has some ridges that some people may find uncomfortable. I understand that there's a petite version (No. 16) which may be a better fit.
I adore Doc Johnson toys. After so many years, they are still able to keep coming up with new designs. I've said it before - I'd love to be able to sit in on a design meeting one day. And with the new materials coming out with, the sky's the limit. I can't wait to try them all . . .

Toy Travel
I always travel with a toy or two, but I haven't been anywhere lately. Here is a fantastic article about the best way to travel with toys and lube in today's current conditions. There are some things mentioned in here that never occurred to me.

Flirt Restraints
Flirt has a line of adorably packaged restraints, each with its own theme. The restraints themselves are strips of silky material with a loop at one end. The Do Not Disturb package comes with red restraints and a "Do not disturb" sign to hang on your bedroom doorknob, the Office Fling includes black restraints and a pad of sticky notes with "Meet Me At:" printed on them. There's also a bridal kit with white restraints, a blindfold sash, and an "Invitation to Seduction". Each of these is great for a fun night of role playing with your partner.

Iris by Lelo
The Iris by Lelo is an amazing device. It's the first I've seen with two motors and a rechargeable battery. Yes, that means you have to plug it in for four hours or so before the first time you use it. I was so anxious to try mine when I got it, but I was patient. Wow, it was worth the wait! The pink part is medical grade silicone, and it's splashproof and quiet too. The rigid curve makes hitting the g-spot easy, and the flower-like sculpt delivers some really interesting sensations. The button is a lockable toggle switch, which may be the only weak spot on this thing. The awkwardness of the switch is easily overlooked once the vibrations start. Toggling the switch side to side slides the vibe from low to high, while toggling it up and down cycles through its five patterns. They are: 1) crown, continuous; 2) base, continuous; 3) both, short pulse; 4), both, long pulse; 5) both, continuous. The Iris is well made, sturdy, and I am thoroughly impressed with it.
Love Prism
I was dubious when I saw this toy on the shelf, but I bought it anyway. It's made of a hard and flexible material that smells kind of funny. It's got no moving parts, so no instructions were necessary.
I applaud Doc Johnson for their innovative design, but it really didn't work for me. It looks more like a prop from a movie than a toy, and while I was using it, I couldn't help remembering back when I was too young and shy to shop for actual sex toys and would try out anything longer than it was wide. This toy, while pretty, has too many corners for my soft insides. I tried the big end and the small end, and I've come to the conclusion that the natural shape is superior. It may be somewhat boring, but it works.
