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 . . .

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.

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.

Lily by Lelo

The Lily by Lelo is so cool. This little cutie is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet it's sleek and sexy at the same time. Whatever stuff the surface is made out of is amazing. It's rigid yet soft and smooth - a real treat to touch. Lily has a rechargeable battery, and the buttons glow while it's plugged in. (Great for finding it in the dark.) It comes in a nice box that holds the cord and the toy, and a satin bag to store the toy in to keep it clean. Lily is splashproof, but others in Lelo's line are submersible. The buttons are my only complaint with it. I found them a bit hard to find and press without looking. One button toggles the vibe higher and the other takes it back down, bit I'm not sure how many levels this thing has.

I think this would be a great gift or a fantastic first vibrator. It's soft and gentle and quiet and totally unintimidating.

Sapphire Thong

OK, here we go again. This is my third attempt at a wearable, wireless, panty vibrator. And once again, it just didn't work for me. This one is both the best of them and the worst. On one hand, the vibrator is excellent - a strong three-speed bullet with pretty decent range on the remote. On the other hand, the panty construction is awful. The panty is made of vinyl and 1" wide heavy elastic. The vibe consists of four parts: the bullet, the battery pack, the receiver, and the wireless remote.
