Clearly Amazing Glass Dildos

What do you typically look for in a dildo? Size and shape? Texture? Beauty? Multi functional? If any of these are your needs. Well of course they are! Then treating yourself to a glass dildo is a perfect addition to your sex toy collection. Not only giving you all the benefits above but also durable, safe, and can be used in a large array of ways. I was late to the party on glass toys but now that I have arrived I am their number one fan and here’s why.

First let’s check out the product description from PinkCherry.com

Product DescriptionAs taken from PinkCherry.com current price $99.99 and listed as out of stock sadly. 

A twice-as-nice set from gläs, the Double Pleasure includes two gorgeous, sweet-spot targeting glass dildos, each shaped for easy, firm and ultra precise g-spot or prostate stimulation and massage. Both the pink and clear dildos offer up two fantastically functional penetration points, unique texture and sexy temperature sensitivity. No matter which end of the either dido you're playing with, the opposite provides a sturdy grip for easy positioning and firm, extra controlled massage. The pink is shorter and thicker, complete with swollen single tip at one side and two at the other. The longer, thinner clear dildo is more dramatic curve-wise, featuring a single taper at one end and four bumps of stretching stimulation at the other.  In ultra hygienic pyrex glass, they both are hypoallergenic. Pre and post play, rinse with warm soapy water or use a good quality toy care fluid/foam. Any water-based, silicone based or hybrid  lube will be compatible, so pick a favourite and play away! Please store carefully to avoid scratching or chipping.

 How Did I Use It?

First thing I did when these lovelies arrived was snap a few pretty pictures around the Christmas tree. They are so beautiful and with the reflection of the lights the almost looked good enough to hang on it! 

I used each in the standard ways. A bit of good quality lube and off I went. They booth have a really nice smooth construction, added ribs and texture in the shapes works really nicely to give more sensation when passing over those special spots. Of course each body is different so everyone will experience them differently. I know I have my favourite one! The weight of them however is what I liked the most surprisingly. Just something about it was really comforting. Perhaps the small anxiety of thinking about putting glass in my body but the durability really was obvious and reassuring.

Using these with temperature play is highly recommended. Take them in the shower and let the water warm them up, for a subtle heat sensation. Or pop them into cold water bed side with a partner for interesting sensation play. Through in a blind fold and restraints and make a day of it! 

For those that are into anal play please try using glass toys, they are such a perfect vessel for anal stimulation! The smoothness really felt great and if your still a bit uncomfortable with your anal game this is a must to try with. The slick shape allows for much smoother insertion then a standard dildo. It felt much more like inserting a good plug, but better!

How Did I Like it?

I really found this set of toys amazing. Perfectly priced, good quality and easy to clean and care for. I use a gentle toy cleaner and warm water, let them air dry (if privacy allows) and store them in the nifty little cloth bags provided. The different ways you can play with them gives so much variety. Above all else they just look so pretty. 

 This is a perfect set for beginners to glass toys or those who already love them. These will with out a doubt bring excitement and beauty to your bedroom!

Online Sex Tests

I hope everyone is doing well and finding their way back to normality. Things seem to be, while not under control at least we are living with a little more guidelines and understanding of how things will look over this next year. Both in Covid recovery or unfortunately if things spread further.

Now that school is back in order I am starting to have a bit more free time. I thought it would be a great chance to get back to learning about myself again sexually. It’s been a rough past year, and this is a great place to start new. Taking a bi of time to reflect on my needs and wants and taking a few online tests can really help to open your thoughts. The key to any self discovery is being open with first yourself and then others. Taking a bdsm test or any sex and relationship test is a great way to find new interests or really examine where you currently are in your sex life and sexual discover. There are plenty out there. You can find some kind of test in every magazine publication, I remember doing many cosmo quizzes in my younger days. Now to get a little deeper the internet offers so many different avenues to explore so why not check out your kinkier side. This one I did recently was from bdsmtest.org. Here are my results.

I can’t say I am completely shocked with my results. That would be a bold faced lie. However it was very accurate. I am absolutely much more of a submissive character and agree with the rolls it gave me. I will make one interesting note that your results may very somewhat on weather you are thinking about your answers in general verses thinking about a certain partner. Another thing to think about is gender, are you answers likely to change if you thinking about a manor a woman or someone netural. I know mine do. If you have more then one person in your life consider running the test twice and compare you results.

Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments or talk to me in private, would love to hear how you guys did with the test and if you noticed the same things I did.

Extreme Vibrating Action G Spot Vibrator Review

This was among one of the first CalExotics products I used. I received this from Pink Cherry as a free gift and honestly did not make a move to try this little number out until after a secondary order landed me the E.V.A. 2 vibe. Once I tired it I was shocked that I had let this little number sit for so long.

Product Description

Tapered tip

100% more power

Lockable interface

8 vibrations modes

Rechargeable

Fully waterproof

Silicone body

Phthalates free

Quiet and discreet

4 hours of play time per charge

Heighten and elevate your ecstasy with the E.V.A. ‘extreme vibrating action’ massager. The distinctive erotically contoured vibe boasts seven intense vibration, pulsation and escalation functions for your ultimate satisfaction. The easy to use, power-packed stimulator features an extra long flexible shaft that moves in harmony with your body, for maximized sensations and mind-blowing ecstasy. The vibe is made from smooth and soft, phthalate free silicone and measures a generous 7.25” x 1.5”/18.5 cm x 3.75 cm. The shapely contoured shaft flexes and moves in time with your pleasure. The shaft tip boasts extreme power for increased and intensified orgasmic sensations. The discreet whisper-quiet action lets you indulge in your intimate fantasies whenever you are in the mood for solo play. The E.V.A. personal massager is ideal for first-time and experienced users, and great for spontaneous seduction. Use the versatile vibe during amorous couple’s foreplay fun or for self-gratification exploration.

How I Used It

The beauty of this vibe is it’s just as good externally on your clit as it is internally for the gspot. Like I always say with sex there aren’t rules do what makes you feel good. Helpful hints - Make sure you have extra batteries on hand in case you run out. Nothing spoils the moment with frustration like having to get up and run around looking for batteries in your junk draw. Use lube, it makes everything work better. Remember to wash your toys with warm water and a good gentle toy cleaner afterwards.

I haven’t used this item with a partner or a second toy yet but I imagine it would work well with both.

How I Liked It

This is probably in my group o favourite toys. It’s easy to use, simple functions, battery run so can be used anywhere(as long as you pack back ups). It helps me achieve great orgasms, either quickly or slowly. Very versatile. It was not something I would have picked up on my own but it’s become a fav and I have purchased many more in this style since.

My Thoughts

Overall a great simple vibe for a good price. The shape is sleek and flexible, perfect for internal and external use. The functions and controls are easy to use and the battery life on this toy is pretty good. This is one I would give a try if you come across it.

Naughty Bites Shake Your Ass Vibrating Anal Plug by Calexotics

I had another opportunity to try a new toy from from  https://www.bettystoybox.com/ a great online toy shop that provides a fantastic selection of sex toys and fetishgear. This time it was the Naughty Bits Shake Your Ass Vibrating Butt Plug.

Product Description (from BettysToyBox.com)

Insertable Length:  3.25 Inches (8.25cm)

Width: 2 Inches (5cm), Insertable: 1.25 Inches (3.25cm)

How I Used It

I love using plugs just as a way to ready ready for anal play. Not only do you get the benefit of being “opened up” but the sensation of wearing a plug during foreplay and even just around the house leading up to a session of anal play is a thrilling. This vibrating butt plug adds a bit more flare to your anal play. Further wearing a plug during vaginal sex always adds another level of fun, the full sensation is great for me, and feels great for my partner, making things tighter. The addition of the vibrations with this plug were intense. It allowed for extra stimulation for him while he was inside and it got great reactions from him.

How Did I Like It?

This piece is beautiful with a black and gold colour scheme and the amber toned jewel is gorgeous and unique.

The vibrations were nice and defiantly a great way to further warm up for anal sex. I did however find the higher settings a bit too much and the noise level was off putting. Definitely not something you can pop in and sneak around with. Easy to clean using toy cleaner and warm water as with all good toys. The USB charging function is also a must have feature in toys for me. The one major drag back I found was wearing this plug during sex leads to accidentally changing the vibrations sets. Having to tone done while on top so I didn’t land too hard and change the setting was a little off putting, just as stoping and having to reset it was.

The thing that stood out the most for me was how easy this was to insert and wear comfortably. Granted it’s not my first time using plugs but this has a really nice shape and and the wider base was really enjoyable.

Overall this was another really well made and visually pretty toy from Calexotics. The design was very nice, comfortable and well made. The charge life was really impressive and like all there products you can feel your really getting your moneys worth.

The Butters Hygienics Co. All Over Exfoliating Scrub

Recently I did a post on the anti aging body oil from The Butters Hygienics Co you can see that post here. I also tried their All Over Body Scrub with coffee and sea salt and it was another great product!

Product Description (from The Butters Hygienics Co website)

A rough grit exfoliator that awakens skin, removes dry rough skin, and cleans deep in pores. Perfect for head to toe soft skin. It’s extremely effective at removing that dull top layer of skin to leave you soft and clean.

 Exfoliating helps increase blood flow alone, while the caffeine will help reduce redness, inflammation, under eye bags, and help tighten skin.

Details

Works incredibly well for dermatitis and acne

Grit level – Coarse 9/10

Best for: thick rough skin, acne all over, feet and hands

Ingredients: Organic dark roast coffee, kosher salt, sea salt, baking soda, polysorbate 80, Otiphen ND [organic preservative] (Phenoxyethanol, Benzoic Acid, Dehydroacetic Acid)  External use only

4oz jar (5oz by weight) = 16 uses, minimum.

100% vegan, biodegradable, wheat & gluten free

Rinses clean from your shower

Won't spoil if you get it wet

Unscented

 Instructions

Get your skin wet with warm water. Get about 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of scrub and splash it with warm water. Apply directly to area. Rub into your skin gently, letting the scrub do the work. Once you're done, let it sit for a few minutes then rinse. The sitting isn't necessary but it will allow for greater nutrient transmission. Follow with Anti-Aging Face Oil or one of my amazing butters.

 How did I use it?

I used this product in two different ways,

The simplest way is taking this product in the shower with you for a full body exfoliation. Rub onto your wet (already clean) skin. I started with the rough areas first. The elbows, knees, and heels. Then rub all over your body. I gave extra attention to the thighs and butt as coffee has properties that help with cellulite. The second way I love using a dry scrub mix like this is to mix a small amount with oil. In this case I used coconut oil. Mix into a smooth gritty paste and use one your face for exfoliating. This makes it a bit more gentle on the skin. As well this works great for on hands and feet while giving yourself an at home spa mani or pedi.

How did I like it?

I really enjoyed the texture and grit of this scrub, it was tough enough to really give that feeling of a deep scrub but not at all painful. What I love most about this and it stands true for the other items I have tried from this company is how natural it is. It’s a coffee and salt scrub so you can see the coffee and salt, you can smell them. In a time and a place in the world we’re our skin is absorbing so many unnatural man made toxin its really refreshing and important to find products that help cleanse and destroy your skin. Not to mention the mental benefits you get from pampering yourself. And we all now both of those things lead to a greater sex life!

Overall

For more info or to order some for yourself go here . This is yet another great product I will be sure to continue using and ordering more in the future. Have you guys tried this product? Share your thoughts with me.

Get The Butter Anti Aging Body Oil Review

I like so many people have been struggling over the course of Covid lockdown to find alone time for adult play. I have stacks of new sex toys and equipment I have to play with but it all seems to have been on the back burner for a few months. Seems life is returning to normal and fingers crossed things will continue to go this way over the next few months. As hard as it’s been to explore a lot of new sex play lately it has opened up more time to explore other items and ways of gearing up for sex. Part of great sex is feeling sexy and that for a lot of people takes some serious self care and with lockdown for the last few months it has given us back the gift of time. The chance to slow down, catch up, and take care of ourself mind body and soul. So I stepped up and started trying out some new beauty and self care products. Recently I tried another great product from The Butters Hygienic Co and again I was not disappointed. One of the biggest issues with summer moisturizing is keeping your skin soft and hydrated without making yourself feel greasy or sloppy in the heat. The anti aging body oil definitely did not leave me feeling greasy and has replenished my sun touched skin so much over the last two weeks. It’s amazing.

Product Description (from The Butters Hygienic Co website)

Cost $15.00 USD How Did I Use It?

I’ve used this each morning after getting out of the shower. Just towel off, spray a little in my hands and rubbed it in all over, especially on the dry spots like knees and elbows. How Did I Like It?

I absolutely loved this product. It’s lightweight and really nourishing. Didn’t leave me feeling greasy or oily. Absorbed into my skin quite quickly, which is a problem with some body oils you need to sit around naked forever waiting for it to soak in. It has very little odour but what is there for scent is very natural. After using this for two weeks I have really noticed a nice texture to my skin. Replenished moisture after sun exposure and keeping the skin on my elbows, knees, and heels really nice and soft.

Overall

For more info or to order some for yourself go here . I am sure this will be a staple body oil in my routine throughout this summer and into the winter months. Have you guys tried this item? Share your thoughts with me.

Newport Beach Babe by CalExotics Review

I recently got the chance to try out the Newport Beach Babe Vibrator. This was from a BettysToyBox a great Canadian online toy shop that provides a selection or fun sex toys and really great fetish gear.

I’ve held onto this for a while. It was the last item I picked up from the post office just before COVID 19 lockdown started. Now that I’m settled into my regular routine I’ve had a chance to explore what this pretty toy has to offer.

Product Description

This vibe screams California! A bright summery orangewill lift your mood and warm you up before you even turn it on. It offers deep G-spot stimulation plus a thumping clitoral stimulator in several different speeds, patterns, and intensities to satisfy whatever craving you have. The thumper arm of the clitoral stimulator offers a really unique sensation and one everyone should experience!

The Newport Beach babe is pure silicone and features a textured shaft with 3 speeds of vibration. 10 different thumping pulsations in the clitoral arm. Easy push-button control. USB rechargeable with cord. Complete charge in 2.5 hours. Runtime of 40 mins on highest settings, 2.5 on lowest settings. Waterproof. Comes with one year warranty.

Basic house keeping rules . Read your product information first. Make sure to hold on to any warranty papers in case you need it. Always wash your new toys with a gentle toy cleanser. Plug it in and let it comes to a full charge. Always use your toys with good quality water based lubricants.

How I Used It

If you have the time, take it! Spend a while on foreplay with yourself. Just because this or any vibe is built for and marketed towards hitting a clit or g spot, they can stimulate you anywhere.

The first time I used this I was honestly a bit put off by the noise from the clitoral arm so opted to use the g spot portion only. I found using that on my clit was fantastic in and of itself. Then just played around with switching back and fourth between clit and g spot stimulation. Guess what? It was amazing, The biggest rule when it comes to pleasure is there are none. Do what feels best for you. The second time I gave this a go I used both settings and was amazed at how quickly I hit the the sweet spot. The internally vibrations work really well with the variations on the clitoral thumper. I was really happily surprised. I have since used this in a handful of positions, from laying, to sitting, standing in the shower, and in the doggy position. As always I love to share all my new toys with my partner. Might not be for everyone but I love to have him watch me, it takes masturbation to a higher level.

How Did I Like It

Visually this is my favourite toy. The texture and pattern reminds me of pineapples and the colour is so fresh and bright. It’s just a happy looking toy.

I love it being waterproof. I love getting off in the shower. For those with limited time and privacy this is a gem feature to look for in a toy. Grab a quick pick me up in your morning shower or unwhinned in a soothing evening bath but be sure to bring it along.

Everything functions perfectly. The vibrations settings are varied and make for good combinations. I had no problems at all using this one or getting off with it. Sometimes and it’s completely normal to need to find your perfect pace and setting with toys (just as with partners). This was not the case with the Beach Babe. A few draw backs. With only getting a good 40 mins with the high settings, it’s not going to be a marathon fuck toy. So just keep that in mind if your one who likes to enjoy long periods of play. The thumping function on the clitoral arm is quite loud.

Overall a great vibe at a decent price point. Comes with enough features to meet your needs without ever being too complex. The design is cute with a unmistakably California style. I will be looking at trying out a few of the other models in the California Dreaming line soon.

Locked In Lust The Vice Review

Recently I had the opportunity to try out something a little different. An inescapable male chastity device! Not the usual type of item that fills my toy boxes (yes there is more then 1, 6 in fact sorted by style and function). This was not my first time by any means, but this was a much more satisfactory experience. So this is my review of the The Vice by Locked In Lust.

Who are LockedInLust?

Founded in 2014 LockedInLust.com Founder Austin set out to create a well fitting and secure male chastity device after inability to find anything on the market that fit those requirements. The site also carries a good selection of additional products ranging from spare parts, sex toys, guides, and they even offer a key holder service for the truly committed chastity players. I find this amazing considering so much of alternative kinky lifestyle takes place online these days. 

Product Description

  The Vice Standard.

The Vice is a male chastity device. All models are available in Chrome (thats what I got), clear, purple, or pretty pink. The Vice comes with a storage bag, locking pin, multiple sized rings and spacers to help you get the perfect fit. The cage itself and padlock with two keys. Along with a one year warranty.

Need a different size? They offer the vice mini a perfect little small chastity cage As well as the vice plus for the larger crowd.

How Can You Use It?

As much or as little as you like. Really like any sexual play you can get as deep and involved in it as you like. If you just looking to dabble, go ahead dip a toe in. Try it out for short periods for tease and denial play. Or longer term either as a discipline or training program or as long term lifestyle.

I won’t go into to much detail in this post, I will have another later this month with different uses and idea.

Things to remember

Make sure your clean and shaved but not morning of fresh or you will give yourself a rash and possibly some serious ingrown hair issues.

It shouldn’t hurt, if something feels wrong take it off check things out.

Keep clean, take the time to enter hygiene. Sweat or soap can fester an cause irritation and foul smell.

And above all trust and communication with you partner. It’s a two way street of responsibility and trust. They need to be aware of everything thats going on in order to act in your best interest, wether for your health, or sexual well being (or consensus torment).

How Did I Like It?

On first impression this is well put together and designed product. Defiantly the best male chastity cage I have seen or used. Each piece fits together perfectly and offers lots of match ups to insure your getting a solid custom fit. In addition all though we did not require them they offer additional sizes for those that need them. Everything looked great, light weight and comes with a 1 year warranty.

It was a interesting experiment. Overall it was fun and challenging. Creating some different levels of intimacy. I’m certain this will not become a full time way of life but a fun tool to use to change things up. Really well constructed item, great options for sizing, amazing customer service, the website is perfectly laid out and it’s so great to buy something quality from a smaller company rather then from a large toy retailer. Sometimes having intimacy shopping is a lovely thing. Kind of like getting a roast from a major grocery chain compared to picking up a choice cut piece of meat from a butchers’s shop.

Service - Great overall experience. The site layout is easy to use and attractive. Plenty of information and sizing info for all products. The customer service provided was fast and helpful. Shipping time was excellent and I live outside of the USA. 

If you are looking to get a great quality cage or looking to try one for the first time I would go give the website a look. Locked In Lust offers many different style and sizing options, tons of information on how to size properly in their Male Chastity Shop Informative articles and a key exchange program for those that want to up their chastity experience.

Get The Butters Lube With Cocoa Butter Review

Thus far I have done a lot of reviews here on the blog and most of them are on the bigger more costly items from my sex toy collection. Mainly because these are the items people have questions. We tend to research things we are going to spend more money one.However some of the greatest additions to your sex life can be small, simple, and super affordable. Recently I was given the opportunity to review the Lube with Cocoa Butter from The Butters Hygienic Co for free and it was such a treat.

Product Description (From Getthebutters.com)

An all natural oil-based personal lubricant. Safe for all body orifices, Super slick and long lasting.

Safe for use with Silicone, glass, wood, ceramic, PVC, silk-gel, lambskin, and polyurethane.

Do not use wth TPE, Cyberskin, jelly, rubber, ABS

Hypoallergenic

100% Vegan, edible, wheat/gluten free. Ingredients:a cocoa butter, organic aloe Vera, raw shea butter, pure coconut oil, pure virgin olive oil, pure grasped oil, apple cider vinegar, guar bean powder.

Never tested on animals.

Amplifies natural lubrication.

How Did We Use It?

Tried this out for hand jobs, using as a lube for both vaginal and anal sex, and even for a bit of muscle massaging.

How Did We Like It?

This is one of the nicest lube textures I have come across. It starts solid and then melts into a lovely slick liquid. It’s slippy without being sloppy. It provided loads of lubrication with no drying out or over absorbing into your skin. Easy to clean up just by wiping with a towel. It doesn’t leave that sticky feeling on the skin that can only be removed with soap and water. I really recommend this lube to everyone and anyone. Great for use with hands, vaginaally, annallly, and even as a massage oil! The only draw back for me was it’s not compatible to use with most of the sex toys I own. The hubs wasn’t a fan of the smell but I liked it (if you get snacky after sex this will have you thinking about warm baked goodies).

Other Thoughts

Now I don’t know but I have a thought that based on the smooth and moisturizing properties of this lube it may work really well for post menopausal women, or anyone who has issues with vaginal dryness. This is just my hypothesis without any factual basis but if you are in the 50+ crowd and want to give this a try I would be interested in hearing your experience.

This would also be a great choice for anyone who is really sensitive or prone to infections.

Lastly after starting out some play giving a nice hand job I though this would be a great product for sensual massage, andguess what? I was right. This has a beautiful oily texture that is not sticky and melts into the skin nicely.

Overall

For more info right to order some for yourself go here. This will definitely become a regular purchase for myself and can’t wait to check out some other items from this company. Have you guys tried this item? Share your thoughts with me,

Legs For Days!

Lets play dress up! Role playing, setting the tone for a romantic night, or just upping the sex appeal of your favourite outfit. Getting dressed up in something a little slinky and sexy can do wonders for your confidence, self esteem, and sex life. Stockings are a great option to start with if your not comfortable with the lingerie, or just don’t have endless money to drop on hot new multi piece sets.

Here’s why.

1.) Stockings are easily sized. No band width, or cup size, Kind of like buying socks it’s a no brainer.

2.) Not overly complicated to put on. You can get stay up stockings that hold themselves up. Many come with built in garters so its all one pretty piece, crotchless/assless pantyhose if you will. Even tradition belts an suspenders are a breeze.

3.) Cost, you can get a great pair for not much more then visit to your local Starbucks.

4.) You get much more use out of a nice pair of stockings. They can be worn in the bedroom. With a nice evening or cocktail dress, or up the powerful skirt suit with a touch of extra woman power.

Here are some of my favourites.

Sheer Lace Top Stockings ~ Nude

This might not be everyone’s first pick, but I have been loving nude stockings lately. Understated yet sexy, and dripping with elegance.

Sheer Lace Top Stockings ~ White

Yes, exactly the same as above but in white. They give a really cute playful feel, perfect pairing with a little plaid skirt!

Black Vinyl And Sheer One Piece Garter & Stocking

These are really sexy and edgy. Great from BDSM play. I do find then really hard to get into. They fit so snuggle, and don’t leave much give in the fabric for pulling then up. Once they are on it’s all fun. If your wear them out, just pull your panties on over these. Or better yet leave them off altogether.

Hip Hugger Garter Panty & Stockings

I won’t lie, these are a bit tricky to get into, so give yourself the time to get everything on and straightening before coming out for the big reveal. Your audience might not notice a twist here or there, but I promise you you will notice. This was a pricey set, running around $23.95 CAD but it is for both pieces and more of a lingerie item.

Faux Lace Up Sheer Lace Top Thigh High Stockings

I like to think of these as the mullet of stockings. Office in the front with sheer black nylon. Party in the back with faux lace up detailing, complete with shimmering bows to hold it together. Topped with black lace.

Black Fishnet Thigh High Lace Top Stockings

You absolutely cannot own stockings without having a pair of black fishnets, its just not possible! Ok well it is, but it shouldn’t happen, So if you are an-anomaly and don’t own a pair, quick, open a new browser and order some. Better yet, run out and purchase some, grab a coffee, come home put them on and finish reading this lol. Anyway, these are a simple pair but the lace top makes it just a little more romantic then fetish, or goth (both are great as well).

Baroque Cuban Heel Backseam Stockings

I love these stockings. Nude stockings with a simple but extremely sexy black backseam are everything! Sexy, elegant, flattering, vintage, wearable, could go on and on. Bottom line theses are gorgeous, the detailing is unique and pretty and I almost feel guility walking on the pattern. Luckily my husband loves them so a lot of the time my pretty feet are up in the air ;)

CARING FOR YOUR STOCKINGS

Avoid the obvious… Stay from sharp objects and rough edges. Extra care with long nails, and around zippers. Always put rings and bracelets on after you’ve put on your stockings.

Check the inside edges of your footwear for rough spots, these will be pushed against your stockings the most at the balls of you feet and the ankle/heel.

Always hand wash stockings, nylons, and really all your linerie, bras, and delicates in the same manor. I like to mix up a mild detergent in my sink, carefully submerging and working the fabric, then rinse in another sink with clean water. Do this several times to ensure there is no soap residue left behind. Hang to dry over your shower curtain bar.

I keep all my stockings and pantyhose in a separate drawer in my dresser. Keeping then all paired and lightly knotted. I double protect them buy laying a silk scarf inside the drawer so they risk of a snag or getting caught in the drawer runners is greatly reduced.

Got a snag? Carry a bottle of nail polish top coat in your handbag. If you run into a snag while out, cover the area with topcoat, it will protect and prevent the snag from growing into a full on out of control run while your out.

Lastly if you love them and plan on wearing them a lot invest in a pair or 2. Having a back up on hand is not a bad thing.

Which one gets your attention most?

We Tried This Orgy Machine and Loved It!

So… a pussy with a mouth inside. Sounds kinda sci fi doesn’t it. On the other hand. Do you enjoy vaginal sex? Do you enjoy getting oral sex? Well then try putting your sci fi impression aside, or if your a lovely nerd utterly give in and embrace it. Try out this vibrating pussy stroker with internal flicking tongue.

What Can It Do?

This stroker can be used in 3 distinct ways.

As a complete piece. Enjoy the full experience of the pussy stroker with various speeds and vibration patterns. In addition experience the flicking and vibrating sensations of the tongue piece stimulates the head of your penis while the pussy hugs and squeezes your shaft.

Take it apart. Need to keep things a little quiet. Use the stroker part alone for aid in your masturbation, even without the vibrations this will grip you and squeeze you just like any other well designed pussy stroker. However, because of the tongue feature with this product the length of sleeve is short so if your going for deep strokes you’ll just end up popping far out the other end.

Use the tongue portion alone. Fun bit of forplay for him, and her. It works will mixed with some lube to tease and excite. Try it on everything! Cock, balls, clit, nipples, and give it a go for great ass rimming.

Product Description This is a really attractive looking toy. Black and red, and very sleek and futuristic looking. The clear sides allow you to see the red mouth and tongue working away and creates a really nice visual when watching it in action. The pussy has a lifelike smooth skin like material in beige. The opening is beautifully moulded to look like a really pussy. Soft petal led lips and a cute clit. The inside is tight and covered in bumps that massage and grasp your cock with each trust. Creating a nice tight lifelike milking sensation. This stroker features 3 speeds an 4 different vibrations setting. In addition the flicking tongue works at 3 speeds and with 4 different vibrations patterns.

Can be used together or remove and use the tongue portion alone on you or your partner. In addition you can also use just the pussy sleeve alone with out the vibration.

Hypoallergence silicone. USB rechargeable. It's compatible with water based lubricates. Avoid contact with silicone lubes and other silicone toys. Not recommended for use in water.

Stroker can be taken apart and cleaned easily in warm water and toy cleaner, or a mild soap.

How Did We Use It?

I took it upon myself (such a tough job) to try out the tongue portion during solo play and it was fantastic. The flicking was both amazing as clit stimulation but I also let it dip inside and got the sensation of someone really going down on me well.

I used it on him to stroke and tease him. Getting to both watch and control the show is great fun. The first time I brought this out, He had never seen it, and was blindfolded. Let me tell you when the tongue action started it was a serious sweet surprise.

He then tried using it solo. I warmed him up with giving the pussy oral, and then move onto blowing him. After that I just sat back and watched the show. If you haven’t experienced watching your partner masturbate it’s a must do. Not only really visually enjoyable but it gives you a great insight into how they get pleasure. Plus making eye contact in that type of hands off intimacy is next level connection.

We also tried out using the tongue for rimming. Now this was pretty good but awkward to do on yourself. Using it on each other it worked well though.

Make sure to use with a good quality water bas lube to avoid and friction, and prolong the good condition of your toy. Clean after every use with toy cleaner and warm water. Dry throughly (I always let our toys air dry). Never store your silicone toys where they can rub against each other.

How Did We Like It?

I really enjoy this toy on a few levels. It’s really cool to look at. Another great feature is its a self contained so no need to try and a a silk bag to fit this bad boy in. It keeps the pussy and tongue squeaky clean until your next playtime. Also the visual of being able to see him cum via the clear sides is added bonus. The pussy detailing it’s self isn’t as detailed our beautiful as some of the others we have, but it makes up for it with its other great features. Having multiple uses and being able to enjoy using part of it myself makes this one well worth the money.

What We Didn’t Like?

Everything was pretty good except we couldn’t use it in any simulated threesome play. We tired but the design of the toy in full is just to cumbersome.

I purchased this from PinkCherry.com but it’s also available on Edenfantasys.com

I fully suggest adding this toy to your collection. It’s really. Lot of fun and 100% worth every penny.

Breaking Away From The Valentines Day Stereotypes

Ah…. Love is in the air. Wine is flying off the shelves. Drugstores everywhere are brimming with cards, chocolates, stuffed animals, and the fragrance of perfume gift packs fill the air. Jewellers are cramping diamond adds down our throats. Everything is red and pink and black. Teddies and stockings have replaced cozy holiday pj’s in lingerie store displays everywhere. Yes its to wonderful show the person/people in your life how much they mean but am I the only one who see’s Valentines marketing as a social comment on the rise and fall of love in long term relationship? Let me explain..

In grade school we love everyone. My kids bring home a class list and we spend a whole evening making gift cards for everyone, attaching a sweet treat or something cute like heart erasers etc..

Then it disappears in middle school/high school unless your one of those popular girls that gets the candy grams, or your the kid that everyone picks on and you receive a candy gram as a joke or dare. Making you alone, humiliated and the butt of your classmates jokes.

Then you enter young adulthood. Your either alone and looking, feeling pressure from the holidays filled with family members questioning you about your lack of love life. Now your pressed to find a date for the night, cause nobody wants to be alone on Feb 14th.

Are you in a new relationship? This is maybe the only real Valentine sweet spot. You still go out of the way to make each other happy and your not distracted by children or living together, things are still all fresh and new.

Are you married? This for a lot of people is the valentines death zone, sure you aren’t single so there is that. The new status quo is “we aren’t doing anything for valentines this year” I have heard this from so so many people around my age, and it makes me sad. Just because you have a partner you no longer take time to celebrate it. It becomes just something else to do, or an extra cost. Or worse it can seem like an exchange. “Ok on this one day of the year your husband will get you flowers, and jewelry and you will wear lingerie for him. This sick exchange of he offers the romance he no longer show on the reg, for you to give him the kinky sex your never have anymore.”

And lets not forget the extreme reaction if your partner does nothing for Valentine’s Day. If your in the above situation and this happens it can have devastating results on your self worth in the relationship.

One thing my husband and I do often is go over our life bucket list, but we also keep a running sex bucket list. If its something I or he are unsure about we discuss it, research it and figure out how to make it work for us. The key is communications and working together. You may not enjoy it, it talk but why you don’t like it. See if you can work together to overcome that feeling. Always consider things from their point of view before reacting with your thoughts, it’s small step but can avoid hurt feeling and damage control in the long run.

We should be romantic all year. Relationships are hard and require constant attention, inspections, and maintenance.We have so muc to balance in life. Children, running a home, careers, personal interests, social lives, and self care, but we cannot neglect romance. Write your partner a sweet note and slip it in their work lunch. Send flowers just because on any day (this is far cheaper then roses on the most popular day of the year). Showing you remember them and treasure them is so important for maintaining relationship health.

I am in no way suggesting that Valentines is not a time for the celebrations of love, but they should be unique to the person or people you love, not something that is generic or done because you have to. We should put more into expressions of love, joy, respect, thoughtfulness, and pleasure all year round, every time we have a chance.

The Future of Vibrators, Taking Your Orgasms To A New Level With Air Pulse Technology.

One of the hottest trends in sex toys has been the introduction of air pulse technology. These new revolutionary vibratorirs are designed specifically for females to simulate the sensations of sucking on the clitoris. Without physically touching your most sensitive part the claim is you can experience multiple orgasms with ease. Several companies have been offering their new innovations and I jumped in the pool and ordered one for myself. I selected the Satisfier pro 3.

Product Description The Pro 3 has 11 different suck/throbbing modes to provide a mix of gentle to greedy clit sucking simulation. Along with an additional 10 modes of vibrations. Giving a possibility of 110 different sensation mixes. The oral sex mimicking touch less suction gives the ability for multiple orgasms without getting over sensitive. Aesthetically this is a really pretty toy. It’s sleek and soft to the touch. The black matte and metallic rose gold tone look beautiful together. The Pro 3 fits neatly into your hand for easy manipulation on yourself or your partner. The ring fits tightly around the clitoris to lock in the sucking sensation on your most sensative part.

Rechargeable with USB plug in. Provides 60 minutes of use at full charge.

Made from hypoallergenic silicone so be sure to store in it’s package or a silk toy bag, never let two silicone toys touch each other. Like all toys wash after each use with warm water and toy cleaner, or at the very least a mild soap. If your using lube with this vibrator make sure it’s water based!

The Satisfier Pro 3 runs for about $89.99 Canadian and is available through many online toy retailers.

Trying Out The Satisfier Pro 3

Initially I used just the air pulse settings, laying back and getting immersed in the rhythms the sucking pulses. This was amazing, the pulse starts gently and you can increase as you like. It’s very much like having your clit sucked but without any connection. Once adding in the vibration sets that was a whole other story. Mixing the sucking sensation and slow moving the vibe around (don’t loose connection on your skin) made for 2 different and fantastic sensations working together for maximum effect. This toy has a very unique experiences and what I enjoyed most was that you really don’t have to do anything but hold it against you. No pumping or wiggling. As long as you keep the seal around your clit your golden.

If you want intimacy with a partner, this vibe is perfect. My husband spooned me while we took turns holding the vibe (it can be a bit tiring on the wrist in the side ways postion) this was wonderful for closeness with kissing, and feeling a bit like a princess cause it was all about me. (Note to the ladies if your keeping your husband under lock and key for periods of time this would probably be fantastic).

Trying to us this while using a dildo was an epic fall. I couldn’t mange to keep the connection for the seal to be tight will moving the dildo myself, and trying with a much smaller one was still awkward and ultimately useless. Tried this with my husband doing the pumping and it wasn’t as bad but still not a good. Can’t all be winners right?

As the Satisfier Pro 3 is waterproof I took it for a test run in the bath tub and I loved it. The pulses felt more intense and without using the vibration feature at all it was a multi orgasmic time. Only downfall, have one hand with wrinkle bathtub prune fingers lol.

After using this vibrator at least 2 dozen times in various ways. Mostly alone, a few times, with my husband controlling it, using it with other toys, in the bath. I can say the Satisfier Pro 3 is a winner. I had on average 2 orgasms each use (didn’t try going for broke each time) with maximum of 5.

Using just a touch of lube really helps with creating that seal around your skin, not that this toy created any friction or discomfort even with long use the lube will just enhance things with a silkier feel.

What else can you do with this little guy? Try it on your nipples! Seriously, fantastic self foreplay move.

How Did I Like It?

I had seen so many of these air pulse or sucking oral sex mimicking toys on the market and it immediately peaked my interest. I resisted reading review on them. I have found I like to just take in the cliff notes version of review before trying. Gives me a fresh take on them without any predetermined ideas.

Visually this is a really pretty toy. The matte black mixed with the metallic rose gold is really sleek and reminds me of the colour palette found on headphones or iPhone cases.

It has so may different vibe and pulse options that I honestly was a bit overwhelmed and lost track already of which patterns I have used.

The air pulse feels REALLY good. Not exactly like oral sex, but its got the similar motions of having a gentle and increasing pull on your clit. What it lacks is the heat and wetness that is provided by a real mouth.

It’s biggest plus for me is with the touchless stimulation there is no friction or overstimulation of the clit. So nothing is between you and as many orgasms as you want.

Over all, definitely an enjoyable toy. A bit pricy and I would like if it had a longer lasting time.That being said it’s still a fantastic toy and feels wonderful and worked well for me. Oh yes, and it is pretty.

Thanks for reading, please comment bellow with any questions or your own impressions on this or any other suction toys you could recommend for me to try.

Great tips for a basic blow job

Blow jobs have been and always will be favourite among men. There are so many different ways to give blow jobs, places to do them, and ways to spice them up but today I’m going to cover the basics. The formula to a great blow job. Get these down pat then take it to new levels incorporating mints, deep throating, hummers, anal stimulation, and so much more.

Confidence is sexy. Enthusiasm is sexy. If you present that your know what your doing and you love what your about to do, it will cancel out any misgivings you might have or “errors” you think you might make. Practice makes perfect. Nobody is amazing at anything the first time, or even a dozen times later, but each time you learn something good, or something bad and with that knowledge you can hone your skill.

Pay attention to his responses, what are you doing when he moans? Make a mental note of it, and next time you’ll go into things with better idea of his likes. Pay attention to how his cock reacts, when does it twitch, swell, leak, every function of the body is a clue. Tensing of the muscles in the legs and abs, biting or licking lips, head leaning back, i could go on and on but think you get the picture.

Remember every man is different, these are guidelines and the formula that I find works.

Start with a kiss on the lips. Many men are not game for a smooch after receiving oral sex so get that in before your head south.

Give him something to watch, the visual of opening his pants, and pull his cock out to enjoy will get him at full attention. Mean are more visual then women when it comes to arousal so keep that in mind throughout.

Take your time stimulating the head of his cock, swirl your tongue around it, exploring the ridge of the head and giving extra attention to the bottom of the head with your tongue.

 Tighten your lips over his shaft to create a tight pussy like opening for his cock to pass through. Concentrate your attention on the head of his penis for a bit then start going further on each bob, take as much of his cock that is comfortable for you, then move your way back up to just concentrating on his head again. Bob up and down, slipping the head of his penis in and out of your mouth while stroking the shaft with your hand

Give some attention to the balls. Transition by stroking his now wet cock while licking his balls. You can also use one hand to cradle his balls while licking and sucking them. The total immersion on the senses from having 2 hands and a mouth giving him pleasure will be a sure hit.

Moved your way back up his cock with long wet licks, giving his head a light suckling before pulling him back in your mouth.

You can return to the above mentioned method of sucking and stroking or engage in some deep throating. Deep throating feels amazing for him and for you. It’s a skill that takes some work, it took me a while to perfect it but was worth all the practice and is now something I take a lot of pride in. My husband loves that I can do it and was very supportive in my endeavours to master the art of the deep throat. I will do another post in the near future to explain how to do it and the method I used to learn how to master it.

It’s O time, he’s rigid and and about to blow. Most men will make the “I’m going to cum” announcement but if not it’s not hard read the signs. The only question now is where to finish.

In your mouth. This feels great for him and it contains the “mess” for easy clean up. I enjoy the taste but I know a lot of people do not. That’s perfectly fine if you choose to spit it out afterwards just try to be a bit discreet about it.

Facials. This is like marking his territory and is especially enjoyed among heterosexual men. Keep a towel close by for quick wipe up after and make sure not to take the blast right in your eye. Believe me I have done so and it was not enjoyable and mildly traumatic!

On his stomach. This is my personal favourite. If you like the visual of watching your partner cum it can be very pleasing. If you like the taste of cum, get in there and lap it off him, it will quickly become one of his favourite things to watch. If that’s not your thing, no worries just keep that towel handy.

What should you avoid doing/ Honestly my first reaction is to say nothing. I have read I don’t know how many articles that will telling you, gagging is not sexy, but surprise gagging is very sexy for a lot of men and the partners performing on them. If it wasn’t there would be a lot of adult actors out of work. That being said try keeping to the basics above when the person is knew until you get to know their kinks.

The 2 things I would avoid is - Teeth, try not to get those involved (unless pain play is their thing) this can be unpleasurable and painful. If it does happen its not the end of the world. Slow things down, give him a soothing suckling and procide when he is ready. Or not, but don’t get hung up on apologizing and demonizing yourself. It happens, move on.

- When he cums, easy off. Post orgasm overstimulation can be very unpleasant (again some people enjoy this) so pull back on the reins and let him enjoy the after glow. Also there is absolutely nothing wrong with oral sex being the only sex act. Giving your partner full attention without them having the return the favour is a wonderful feeling. You love being pampered right? So return the favour.

Wow that was a real mouthful! Hope you found sounds good tips and tricks, or just enjoyed reading. Would love to hear your feed back.
