Flex-O-Pleaser Vibrating Wand

I love my Flex-O-Pleaser. It's another version of a bullet vibrator on a stick, which I think is a great idea because it puts the vibration right where you need it. It's a long thing, which on one hand, means you don't have to do a lot of reaching, but on the other, it takes up a lot of room in your toy box. The angle made it easy to reach my g-spot and rest on my clit. The sliding switch is in a good position for thumb control, and the range from low to high is better than most so you can find just the right speed. OK that was a very cold review of one of my favorites. I've gone through half a dozen of these over the years and who knows how many times it's made me cum. It's the kind of toy that brings a smile to my face every time.

Warming lubricants

There are all kinds of warming lubricants out there, and I have found none of them to be all that spectacular for me. I tried this stuff on my clit and my nipples, and ya it gets warm. I don't much care for the sensation though. It reminds me of rubbing Ben Gay on sore muscles. Also, if you have sensitive skin, use with caution.  The warming sensation can be too intense, and not much other than a shower is going to get it off. I heard of a guy who put a few drops inside his condom, and it burned so much that he had trouble maintaining his erection. So here's my recommendation, buy a sample bottle at first, and start out with a small amount on some not-so-delicate skin. That way, if you don't like it, your evening isn't tanked.

Waternberg Pin Wheel

I was introduced to this baby years ago by my partner.  I was tied up, and he was in charge.  I was a little worried but was quickly convinced that the Wheel is a good thing.  The sensations he wrung out of me blew my mind.  It's usually referred to as a neural wheel, and it resembles a spur on a stick.  Sleek, simple, and wonderful!  This is a toy for torture -- the good kind, of course.  It prickles and teases, and in the hands of a skilled user, it can make you squirm.  I love having it run all over my body, especially my breasts, back, inner thighs, and even my pussy.  The wheel should be reserved for those special occasions when there's lots of time for foreplay.  It isn't very expensive, and I suggest that any woman with an adventurous streak pick one up.

 

Mini Flexo Pleaser

I have a love/hate relationship with the Flexo.  I love it because it delivers good, solid orgasms every time.  The first setting is a nice warm up, and the second really brings it all together.  I have trouble with its design though.  On one hand, the bullet shaped vibe on a stick is a great idea.  It's flexible in the middle, so it goes in easy and is more gentle on my wrist, but it can't really be directed anywhere on purpose.  It's also tough to get any pressure on the clit unless you hold the bullet part, and then the battery part flops around.  All that flopping must weaken the seal where the bullet and the flexible part meet.  I've already bought two of these over the years, and the spring inside both of them eventually got rusty.  I do like it enough though that I will be buying a third.  I guess that's a good review all by itself.

Nipple Suckers

I picked these up on a whim 'cuz they were cheap.  Frankly, I thought they were going to be an addition to my "Dud" section.  They are very simple tubes of soft plastic that are sealed on one end.  Remember when you were a kid, and you'd stick a plastic cup over your mouth by sucking the air out?  Well, this works on that same idea.  You squeeze it, place it over your nipple, and let go.  It sticks, of course, providing a pleasant level of suction.  (No worries about getting a hickey needed.)  I even tried it on my clit - interesting.  There's a sensation you can't usually get if you're playing by yourself.  It certainly isn't a must-have item, but it's definitely a fun thing to play around with.   

Devinn Lane's Magnetic Massager

I'm not sure what the "magnetic" business in the title is all about.  This is a narrow vibe with a nice weight that fits comfortably in the hand.  The on/off is a twist in the middle.  I got the 6" version; I hear there's a 4" version out there too.  The vibration is good and strong, and I had high hopes for its performance.  I'm not sure why but I really wanted to like it.  Alas, no luck.  It just didn't push me over the edge.  I can't really figure out why either.  Maybe my body just isn't responding to the "magnetic flow and powerful massaging vibrations".  I think the metal ball under the cover is too small, which makes the vibration too focused for me.  Maybe it just needed a second, higher speed.  We shall see.  I'm not quite done with it.  I like the way it feels on my clit, and if I do get an orgasm from it, I'll let you 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.
