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.

360 Degree Swivel Vibrator

The 360 Degree Swivel Vibrator is a palm-sized, two-speed vibrator that has two heads (a smooth one and a nubby one) on a swivel mount so that it can be positioned at any angle. It's inexpensively priced, and it feels like it. The plastic feels cheap, and the swivel is not smooth. So, I really felt like I was going to break the damn thing while running it through its paces. The vibration was kind of strong and would probably get you off if you orgasm easily. It's not very versatile though, and it's pretty loud. It's not waterproof, so cleaning it is tricky at best. I initially thought that if it came with a cover, it would be great to throw in your bag - just in case. After checking it out, I don't think it would survive a week in the bottom of my bag. This is a good idea that just didn't measure up.

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.

Duotone Balls

Duotone Balls are, basically, two 1 1/2” balls stuck onto a string with a smaller, metal ball inside each of them. The idea is simple, you place them inside your vagina, and as you move around they wiggle and jiggle and tease. I read up on ben-wa balls a little. They weren’t originally made for pleasure but for vaginal exercise instead -- ahh, those clever Japanese. For that, I guess they are just fine. Personally, I don’t like them.

Leopard Thong with Micro Stimulator

The Leopard Thong consists of a comfy thong with a pocket on the inside to hold a small vibrator. The idea, of course, is that you wear it in public to tease yourself and perhaps your partner. Now, I've tried several wearable vibrators in the past. Usually, the problem is that the damn thing doesn't stay where you need it. This one comes the closest to success yet, but still no cigar. The thong does hold the vibrator still - I'll give it that - but not quite close enough to really get off with. OK, maybe you don't want to be cumming during your walk, but I found that the vibrator sitting where it does for the duration of my walk made me numb. Not cool! Also, when I got to where I was going, this thing was still buzzing away, and I was faced with how to turn it off without digging in my shorts too obviously (or should I say "pornographically"). I think I'll go on a hunt for the perfect alternative.  Perhaps an egg-style or small bullet-style vibrator with a wireless remote control would work way better, something quite so I don't alert passers-by that there's anything naughty going on. I will let you know when I gather the perfect set up. If you guys have any suggestions, please let me know.

Thumper G

Well, there's no obvious reason why I shouldn't like this one, but I don't.  Right out of the package, it has a nice weight and solid construction, and the friendly colors are pleasant enough.  (I bought the Rose color instead of the Sapphire.)  It seems like it's the right shape, but it's not long enough to reach anything good on the inside.  The vibrator mechanism is not in the tip, which would be good for clit stimulation.  It's in the bend, which isn't very good for placement.  The "extreme power" wasn't strong enough for me to achieve orgasm.  Maybe all that hard plastic soaks up too much of it.  I also didn't notice any difference in the "thump" vibration compared to any others.   If you get off easily, though, it might be worth the $15.

Opulent Lacquer Cote Pearls

My first thought -- ooooo, pretty.  My second thought -- what do you do with these?  Now, I've heard of ben wah balls before and know the basic concept.  I was hoping for an instruction page or a tips and tricks sheet or something to accompany these little pearls, but no such luck. All you get is a plastic seashell and two little balls nestled in genuine faux velvet.  *Shrug*  So, I put them in and walked around a bit.  Nothing.  Maybe I wasn't doing it right.  I was too worried about them going too far and not being able to get them out.  Anyway . . . if anyone could shed some light on why these are a good idea, let me know.  I might consider trying again.
