<p>After being thoroughly disappointed with the <a  href="http://wantonlotus.com/2009/04/10/sex-clean-toy-cleaner/">Sex Clean Toy Cleaner</a> I was sent to review I picked up this <a  href="http://www.pinkcherry.com/California-Exotic-Novelties-Anti-Bacterial-Toy-Cleaner-43-oz/productinfo/CE.2385.00.1/" class="broken_link">Anti-Bacterial Toy Cleaner</a> on the fly when at a local shop.</p>
<p>In looking into some of the ingredients, however, I was a little disappointed though not surprised.  This toy cleaner uses <a  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triclosan">triclosan</a> to kill bacteria though also has <a  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylchloroisothiazolinone">Methylchloroisothiazolinone</a> and <a  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylisothiazolinone">Methylisothiazolinone</a> within it both of which are supposed to be somewhat anti-bacterial and both of which are irritants.  Granted, this cleaner isn&#8217;t going directly on you and only a small part amount of it will be getting on you at all, but that was still a little worrysome.</p>
<p>Due to this I have taken to using the spray cleaner directly after use of a toy for ease of clean-up and the convenience of being able to spray-clean a toy without having to get out of bed post use.  However, before using the toy again I make sure to wash it, just to be extra careful about the irritants coming in contact with my sensitive bits.  Is this overly cautious?  Maybe.  However, since I&#8217;ve had reactions to chemicals in my cunt before (can we say ow?) I am a fan of erring on the side of caution.</p>
<p>I really do like this spray, however, irritants aside.  I admit I haven&#8217;t delved into the information on every single ingredient yet, but for the most part I think it&#8217;s super convenient and a great way to clean toys.  Not everyone is as overly cautious about chemicals as I am as well, and I still rate it at a four regardless of potential reactions.  I say, if you&#8217;re looking for a toy cleaner spray (and who isn&#8217;t?) this is a great one to go for! </p>

<p>I&#8217;ve had the <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/California-Exotic--Novelties-Super-Strap-Love-Slin/productinfo/CE.2668.03.3/" class="broken_link">Super Strap Love Sling</a> for quite some time, which has enabled me to play around with it quite a bit.  It&#8217;s really simple, basically two nylon circles on the end of an adjustable nylon strap which also has a fur rectangle in the center of it.  It&#8217;s made for a modified missionary position, mostly, to assist the legs in staying up in the air while being fucked.</p>
<p>The first time we tried the strap out it didn&#8217;t seem to work well, it was slightly uncomfortable and I just didn&#8217;t really like it, but I wasn&#8217;t going to give up on it after just one use.  The second time was better, probably because I played around a lot with the length of the straps before Onyx and I were actually penetrating so that my legs were at the right length and I was actually getting support from it instead of just having it strain my neck and not do much.</p>
<p>The second and subsequent times were all wonderful.  It was easy to use and super comfortable now that I had found the right length.  I found it was best to have my legs straight up in the air, rather than bent, though I could bend them if I choose.  The strap should be slightly too short so that your legs don&#8217;t have to lock into position in order to maintain the tension, but not so short that it&#8217;s uncomfortable.</p>
<p>I discovered the strap also enabled me to lift my head up to meet Onyx&#8217;s kisses, which is often difficult in a missionary position as he can only bend down so far and I can only lift up so far (we also both have back problems) and that was a wonderful added bonus!</p>
<p>It definitely gives the sensation of being restrained without actually having to do much work.  Nothing unhooks or unbuckles, it just slips behind the head and slips onto the bottoms of the feet, then lift the feet up in the air and voila!  It&#8217;s definitely not quite the same sensation as a heavy pair of cuffs or rope, but there is an immobilization factor.</p>
<p>I really like grabbing the straps with my hands or wrapping the strap around my wrists while my feet are up in the air as well, which tugs slightly on the straps, enables me to shift my position, and gives the impression that I cannot get out.</p>
<p>In addition to simply aiding the ability to keep legs up in the air the <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/California-Exotic--Novelties-Super-Strap-Love-Slin/productinfo/CE.2668.03.3/" class="broken_link">Super Strap Love Sling</a> also assists in g-spot positioning.  It can assist in tilting the pelvis up at just the right angle, so the penetrating object (be it flesh or silicone) can get at that sweet spot even easier.</p>
<p>And this is not just for use on females.  Personally I prefer taking Onyx&#8217;s ass when he is in a doggy style or similar position, since it&#8217;s just easier to get at his ass that way, but the strap helps in gaining a comparable level of access when he is on his back, which I definitely like (and he does too).</p>
<p>The <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/California-Exotic--Novelties-Super-Strap-Love-Slin/productinfo/CE.2668.03.3/" class="broken_link">Super Strap Love Sling</a> also can be used as a doggy-style strap by tightening each side of the strap (on either side of the fur-lined neck brace rectangle) completely.  This makes the strap very short, the length of the rectangle and the feet handles, which can be easily slipped under the receptive partner and used to lift their ass for some penetration from behind.  The loops on the end make for excellent handles and also aids in getting the right angle for g-spot or p-spot stimulation.</p>
<p>There are probably other ways this strap could work as well.  If you&#8217;re small you may be able to slip the handles on the end up and around your knees rather than your feet, so you could have a sort of sling position instead of the legs up in the air.  It can, of course, be used in conjunction with other types of bondage to enhance the sensations.</p>
<p>I love that there are multiple possibilities for this affordable and easy-to-use strap, and I know it&#8217;s something I have and will use over and over again.  Thank you very much to <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007">Pink Cherry</a> for letting me review the <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/California-Exotic--Novelties-Super-Strap-Love-Slin/productinfo/CE.2668.03.3/" class="broken_link">Super Strap Love Sling</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The wonderful people over at <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007">PinkCherry.Com</a> were nice enough to send me a number of kinky items to compare and contrast with each other.  They also sent me two of each of these items to give away on <a  href="http://pleasurists.com">Pleasurists</a>, and that contest will come out soon so keep your eye out!</p>
<p>Each of these items are quite affordable, all under $15 on <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007">PinkCherry.Com</a>.  With sex toys, usually you get what you pay for, so the more you pay the higher the quality, and for the most part that&#8217;s true.  These items are not heavy duty leather, nor do they have fancy bells and whistles, however they all do exactly what they are meant to do while being very affordable and fun to use.</p>

<div style="float:left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a  href="http://ofpleasure.com/wp-content/uploads/japaneseloverope.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://ofpleasure.com/wp-content/uploads/japaneseloverope.jpg" alt="Purple Japanese Love Rope from PinkCherry.Com" title="japaneseloverope" width="200" height="200" /></a></div>
<p>This purple <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/Topco-Japanese-Love-Rope-3M-Purple-10-feet/productinfo/T.1440.6/" class="broken_link">Japanese Love Rope</a> is very basic.  It comes with finished edges and has a little 16-page booklet included with it as well which has a lot of great basic rope safety information as well as a few ties within it.  The rope itself is a gorgeous purple color and is very soft and feels nice against the skin, though it could easily leave pretty rope marks as well.  It is 3 meters or 10 feet long.</p>
<p>Onyx and I have played with the rope a few times, it is great for a few of the ties in the <a  href="http://ofpleasure.com/2008/12/02/review-two-knotty-boys-showing-you-the-ropes/">Two Knotty Boys book</a>, mostly basic wrist and ankle ties since it is not terribly long.  It is wonderfully smooth and the purple color is simply gorgeous against the skin.</p>
<p><strong><a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/Topco-Taboo-Kinky-Cuffs-Dont-Stop/productinfo/T.4020.6/" class="broken_link">Taboo Kinky Cuffs</a></strong></p>
<div style="float:right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a  href="http://ofpleasure.com/wp-content/uploads/tabookinkycuffs.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://ofpleasure.com/wp-content/uploads/tabookinkycuffs.jpg" alt="Taboo Kinky Cuffs: &#039;Don&#039;t Stop&#039; from PinkCherry.Com" title="tabookinkycuffs" width="200" height="200" /></a></div>
<p>These <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/Topco-Taboo-Kinky-Cuffs-Dont-Stop/productinfo/T.4020.6/" class="broken_link">Taboo Kinky Cuffs</a> are fun and easy to use.  What I like most about them is that they are made out of neoprene, which is made to use wetsuits and is 100% water friendly (so says the back of the package).  They velcro to close and easily fit both large and small wrists and they are strong and very easy to use.</p>
<p>As you can see from the image, they say &#8220;Don&#8217;t Stop&#8221; on them, so they&#8217;re a little campy and fun, not strictly serious, though the writing is easy to ignore as well.  They would be fun as a kind of gag gift or a gift to someone who takes things a little too seriously and you might want to bring a little levity to.</p>
<p>These also have a &#8220;sister product&#8221; which are also called Taboo Kinky Cuffs but these say <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/Topco-Taboo-Kinky-Cuffs-Spank-Me/productinfo/T.4021.6/" class="broken_link">Spank Me</a> on them and are red.</p>
<p><strong><a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/Pipedream-Black-Fantasy-Bondage-Tape/productinfo/B.5629/" class="broken_link">Black &#8220;Pleasure&#8221;/Bondage Tape</a></strong></p>
<div style="float:left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a  href="http://ofpleasure.com/wp-content/uploads/bondagetape.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://ofpleasure.com/wp-content/uploads/bondagetape.jpg" alt="Black Bondage Tape from PinkCherry.Com" title="bondagetape" width="200" /></a></div>
<p>I absolutely love <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/Pipedream-Black-Fantasy-Bondage-Tape/productinfo/B.5629/" class="broken_link">Bondage Tape</a>.  This is actually my third roll of it, I&#8217;ve had another roll of black and currently have a roll of red in addition to this roll of black from <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007">PinkCherry</a>.  Bondage Tape is both discreet and extremely easy to use, so if you accidentally leave the roll out where others can see all they would see is a roll of black tape, not a bondage item.</p>
<p>Bondage Tape isn&#8217;t sticky to anything but itself, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about hair being pulled out or skin being irritated.  However, it does stick to itself very easily, so it&#8217;s great for any quick bondage, though you should be sure to wrap it around multiple times as just once isn&#8217;t enough.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also great for impromptu gags, especially panty gags or something similar, you can wrap it around the head easily to secure a gag and not have to worry about hair getting ripped out since it sticks to itself and not anything else.</p>
<p><strong><a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/California-Exotic-Novelties-Pleasure-Masks-2-per-pack/productinfo/CE.2741.00.2/" class="broken_link">Pleasure Masks</a></strong></p>
<div style="float:right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a  href="http://ofpleasure.com/wp-content/uploads/pleasuremasks.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://ofpleasure.com/wp-content/uploads/pleasuremasks.jpg" alt="Black and Red Pleasure Masks from PinkCherry.Com" title="pleasuremasks" width="200" height="200" /></a></div>
<p>Last but not least, the <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007&#038;url=http://www.pinkcherry.com/California-Exotic-Novelties-Pleasure-Masks-2-per-pack/productinfo/CE.2741.00.2/" class="broken_link">Pleasure Masks</a>, or blindfolds, are a really great deal.  They are made of rather light fabric so they, again, aren&#8217;t heavy-duty but they definitely serve their purpose.</p>
<p>They do have a bit of fabric that actually goes over the bridge of the nose to keep light out, so the sliver of light that blindfolds often will let through is nonexistent with these if positioned correctly.  This is wonderful because it creates complete sensory deprivation instead of partial and can help to but the bottom in the right mindset faster.</p>
<p>Since you get two to the pack you can color coordinate them to outfits, rope, or other bondage items if you like, or if you end up losing one of them you always have the other to use, which is handy if you often misplace things like I do.  </p>
<p>Overall each of these items are a great deal at under $15 a piece.  They are all sturdy, well-made, and easy to use while also being affordable.  Much thanks to <a  href="http://www.pinkcherryaffiliate.com/sextoys.php?id=1007">PinkCherry.Com</a> for sending me these items, and duplicates of each of these items so I can give them away to you, my readers!  Keep your eye out for the contest coming soon on <a  href="http://pleasurists.com/">Pleasurists</a> and will be cross-posted here too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/o-my-flavored-lubricant.html" title="O'My Flavored Lubricant">Strawberry Cheesecake Flavored O&#8217;My Lube</a></strong></p>
<div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/o-my-flavored-lubricant.html" title="O'My Flavored Lubricant"><img src="http://www.vibrator.com/images/W/OMY00251.jpg" border=0 width=200 /></a></div>
<p>The only time I&#8217;ve used <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toy-categories/flavored/" title="Flavored Lubes">flavored lube</a> before was in small sample-packs that came with safer sex kits handed out by the Queer Resource Center three or so years ago, and then I didn&#8217;t really end up using them so much as tasting them and accidentally spilling them on top of my dresser.  This was before I was really into using lube, and mostly I took them to get the other stuff in the package.</p>
<p>In my <a  href="http://wantonlotus.com/2008/11/18/boy-butter-lube/">latest lube testing</a> I was expecting it to have some sort of taste, and I was a little disappointed, so since I&#8217;ve heard good things about O&#8217;My I decided I wanted to try <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/o-my-flavored-lubricant.html" title="O'My Flavored Lubricant">O&#8217;My Flavored Lubricant</a> in Strawberry Cheesecake, &#8217;cause it sounded extra yummy.</p>
<p>The first thing I did once I got it was take some and rub it between my fingers for a few minutes, testing out the general feel of it, how well it lasted, and if it got sticky.  I was pleasantly surprised as my (somewhat limited) experience with water-based lubes is that they tend to get sticky, and I figured a flavored one might just tend to get even more sticky, but it actually held up pretty well, not really getting sticky at all.</p>
<p>The next test was to taste it.  Right from the bottle the lube has that strange flavored-lube aftertaste which my tongue relates to artificial sweeteners, but it&#8217;s not quite the same taste.  Aside from the aftertaste, <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/o-my-flavored-lubricant.html" title="O'My Flavored Lubricant">the lube</a> does indeed have a strawberry taste to it, and close to a cheesecake hint, but mostly just strawberry, which I found to be quite enjoyable.</p>
<p>After actually using <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/o-my-flavored-lubricant.html" title="O'My Flavored Lubricant">the lube</a>, however, the taste changes.  Mixed with juices the strange flavored-lube taste goes away simply to reveal a delicious strawberry flavor that I thought tastes pretty delicious.  It was amusing to think that I then had a strawberry-flavored cunt.</p>
<p>Upon realizing this I had to think about the actual practical uses of <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toy-categories/flavored/" title="Flavored Lubes">flavored lube</a>.  It could be a way to entice a lover to go down on you, should they be wary of the natural taste, or great for using during penetrative sex with a condom to try to minimize the latexy condom-taste should there be some oral action after condom use.  Or, as in my case, it can be just campy and fun to use every once in a while to have flavored genitals.  I figure it could be great for the analinguist, as well, who doesn&#8217;t enjoy the taste of the backdoor.</p>
<p>What I really liked about <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/o-my-flavored-lubricant.html" title="O'My Flavored Lubricant">the lube</a> was the bottle it came in: a pump bottle.  I&#8217;ve always thought these would be the best kind of bottles for lube to come in, since they&#8217;re super easy to get lube out of.  A regular shampoo-type top of a lube bottle is fine, but it definitely takes longer and can be irritating in the heat of the moment.  </p>
<p><strong><a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/the-g-spot-vibrator-dream-massager.html" title="G-Spot Dream Massager">G-Spot Dream Massager</a></strong></p>
<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/the-g-spot-vibrator-dream-massager.html" title="G-Spot Dream Massager"><img src="http://www.vibrator.com/images/W/SE2096-20.jpg" border=0 width=200 /></a></div>
<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toy-categories/g-spot-vibrators/" title="G-Spot Vibrators">G-Spot Vibrators</a>, and so when I saw the <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/the-g-spot-vibrator-dream-massager.html" title="G-Spot Dream Massager">G-Spot Dream Massager</a> I was definitely intrigued.  It looked sleek and gorgeous, while also being a very affordable price.  While it&#8217;s not the most exciting name for a toy, more descriptive than fun, luckily it far surpasses the name&#8217;s expectations.</p>
<p>The <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/the-g-spot-vibrator-dream-massager.html" title="G-Spot Dream Massager">G-Spot Dream Massager</a> is made out of rubber cote, which is non-porous and phthalate-free, a winning combination in my book.  It can be easily cleaned with soap and water, and won&#8217;t soak up bacteria like porous toys.  It&#8217;s very smooth, almost silky, to the touch, somewhere between silicone and plastic and simply a delightful texture.</p>
<p>I found it both aesthetically and anatomically pleasing, a nice deep blue for the eye and a wonderful curve for the g-spot.  If the controls were different (and it came in a black box instead of a plastic one) I would almost swear it was a LELO toy, and that&#8217;s quite a compliment coming from someone who loves LELO as much as I do.  It&#8217;s gorgeous and feels sleek, smooth, and expensive, attributes I associate with LELO.</p>
<p>The curve of the shaft is just perfect for g-spot stimulation while the bump in the shaft adds wonderful sensation while thrusting.  I also found it to be wonderful for clitoral vibration.  My perfect clitoral toys have a little curve on them to ease placement while pressing against my clit.  I found the <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/the-g-spot-vibrator-dream-massager.html" title="G-Spot Dream Massager">G-Spot Dream Massager</a> to fit against my mons just right so that I could easily maneuver it against my clit with just the right pressure.  The width of the handle while using it on my clit deminished the vibrator claw-hand that I often get with small clitoral vibrators, while the tip was just the right size.</p>
<p>It takes two AA batteries in the base and tightens up to become a waterproof toy, so you can take it into the shower or bath with you, and I couldn&#8217;t resist doing just that!  The base is also where the vibration control is, a simple twist-dial bottom that changes speeds from off to low to high quite easily, though it can be a little hard to get a hold of in the heat of the moment, especially with lubed-up fingers should you have them.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t help using the <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/the-g-spot-vibrator-dream-massager.html" title="G-Spot Dream Massager">G-Spot Dream Massager</a> and <a  href="http://www.vibrator.com/sex-toys/o-my-flavored-lubricant.html" title="O'My Flavored Lubricant">Strawberry Cheesecake Lube</a> together, since I knew I would be reviewing them together, and found they worked very well.  The lube made the rubber cote material of the massager nice and slippery, not too slippery to still get a hold of, but slippery enough that it had no trouble sliding in.</p>
<p>Onyx and I used these two ways, first with him thrusting the toy into me while I rubbed my clit, and then we switched so that I was using the toy on my clit while he was thrusting in me with his fingers.  Both ways were delightful, and it didn&#8217;t take me long at all to come once the toy was buzzing away at me.</p>

<p>I absolutely love restraints, so when I saw these affordable plushy gear wrist restraints I knew I just had to have them! The minute I got them I immediately put them on. Although my partner would not be home for a few hours I wanted to test them out and see how they felt. Unlike a lot of affordable (read: cheap) restraints, these are very well padded, not thin straps held together with Velcro.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/odyssey_tickler?minion=DFM"><img src="http://wantonlotus.com/wp-content/uploads/odysseytickler.jpg" width="200px" border=0 /></a></div>
<p><a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/odyssey_tickler?minion=DFM">The Odyssey Tickler</a> is really a very basic toy, which isn&#8217;t a bad thing, but I&#8217;ve definitely been spoiled lately with the <a  href="http://wantonlotus.com/">toys I&#8217;ve been reviewing</a>, so much so that everything I look to acquire generally has something interesting or unique about it.  With the Odyssey Tickler, I thought that the prospect of the little ticklers at the base of the toy was interesting and while not wholly unique (if you remember, <a  href="http://wantonlotus.com/2008/08/11/the-miracle-massager-attachment/">the Miracle Massager Attachment</a> had a somewhat similar design, though the nubs were not as pronounced).</p>
<p>While the toy isn&#8217;t quite as sleek and gorgeous as the <a  href="http://wantonlotus.com/tag/lelo/">Lelo</a> toys I&#8217;ve been reviewing, for example, it definitely has it&#8217;s own appeal.  Plus, the insertable length is made of 100% silicone, one of my favorite toy materials and one of the safest.  In addition to all that, unlike a lot of vibrators <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/odyssey_tickler?minion=DFM">The Odyssey Tickler</a> is also waterproof, meaning you can bring it with you for some hot shower sex, or any other water environment, and not have to worry about it getting damaged.</p>
<p>As someone who enjoys to insert a vibrator and then use a second vibrator on her clit, I thought the idea of these &#8220;tickler&#8221; nubs at the base of the toy might be a good one.  I didn&#8217;t expect the nubs to hit my clit and they didn&#8217;t (although for some they might which would make this toy even more exciting).  I do like the way the nubs massage my labia while the toy is inserted, and the extra sensation that they provide.</p>
<p><a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/odyssey_tickler?minion=DFM">The Odyssey Tickler</a> has three speeds, all controlled by a single button on the base of the toy.  Press it once for low, again for medium, and again for high.  The vibrations are nice and strong and can be felt throughout the toy, including on the tickler nubs, though are concentrated primarily at the head of the toy.</p>
<p>The insertable length is only about 3.5 inches, while that isn&#8217;t terribly long it is a great length to get the mushroomed head of it against the g-spot while the tickler nubs play with the sensitive skin of the labia.  I also found the head is wonderful for clitoral stimulation as well.</p>
<p>I also used the toy on <a  href="http://ofpleasure.com/category/how-we-relate/a-relationship-onyx/" class="broken_link">Onyx</a>, who enjoyed it quite a lot.  The ticklers easily rubbed against his cockhead, while the shaft rested against the bottom of his shaft, I was able to watch as he grew with the vibrations.  He seemed to like it quite a lot, and I&#8217;d say this toy is worth it just for that if not anything else.  Since it has the flared base it would also be a good candidate for anal penetration, with the ticklers massaging the perineum, which is something I also intend to try out.</p>
<p>Overall, this toy is a hit with both of us, the vibrations are strong and very pleasant, and the ticklers just add wonderful sensation to the experience.  While it&#8217;s not extraordinary in terms of it&#8217;s appearance it definitely gets the job done, and there&#8217;s no beating waterproof vibrators since they can follow you anywhere you are wanting to play.  For what you get, <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/odyssey_tickler?minion=DFM">The Odyssey Tickler</a> is extremely inexpensive and simply a wonderful addition to any toybox.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/non_vibrating/silicone_crystal_cote/?minion=DFM"><img src="http://wantonlotus.com/wp-content/uploads/crystalcote.jpg" width=200px/></a></div>
<p>I have never had a suction-cup dildo before, so of course immediately after receiving the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/non_vibrating/silicone_crystal_cote/?minion=DFM">Silicone Crystal Cote</a> in the mail a few weeks ago I slapped it up against the side of my bookshelf in the living room and let it sit there until it fell off, because what else would I do with a suction-cup dildo but make it stick to things?  You know, aside from using it for it&#8217;s other intended purpose.  It took over two hours for the suction to wear off, and that was with no help to stay on from me (like thrusting would do, for example).</p>
<p>I never quite saw the need for a suction-cup dildo before.  I always figured why bother if I have a hand or a partner who can thrust the toy into me.  However, upon receiving the cote (after sticking it to the bookshelf) I began to fantasize about the abilities for both solo and partner sex which the dildo offered me.  I began to form double-penetration scenarios in my head and think of the possibilities of fucking myself without using my hands.</p>
<p>First, a few facts about the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/silicone_crystal_cote?minion=DFM">Silicone Crystal Cote</a>.  It is, in fact, made of silicone (never would have guessed, right?) but it has two different colors of silicone.  I think the reason why they put silicone in the name of it is because it looks like it&#8217;s made out of jelly rubber.  I, for one, have not seen another clear silicone dildo, and although I&#8217;ve seen ones with multiple colors I&#8217;ve never seen one that looks quite like the Cote.</p>
<p>It looks as if the purple silicone which the balls and suction cup are made out of has been shot into the clear silicone, the purple permeating the clear silicone in a very definite cone in the middle of it.  The effect is unusual, but also rather gorgeous.  Personally I love clear toys as well, and while the entire toy isn&#8217;t clear, having the clear which blends so effortlessly into the purple is something that piqued my interest for this toy.</p>
<p>The <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/non_vibrating/silicone_crystal_cote/?minion=DFM">Cote</a> is a little smaller than I had anticipated.  While the entire length (including balls and suction cup) is about seven inches, the insertable length is only around four and a half.  It&#8217;s about an average thickness as well, so if you like something that penetrates deeply or is extra thick I would pass.  However, I found it to be just about a perfect length and width for fun suction-cup play, plus it has wonderful ridges and purple balls!</p>
<p>As I already mentioned, the Cote stuck to the side of my bookshelf for a couple of hours before falling off.  It has also stuck to my walls, refrigerator, kitchen cabinets, bathroom tile, bathroom mirror, the side of my TV, and pretty much anything I could think of to test.  The suction is pretty powerful, too, and only falls off after a few hours of hanging around, which is pretty good.</p>
<p>I tried this toy in a couple of different ways, Dominus used it on me, and it was lovely.  The ridges really add a wonderful sensation, the suction cup and/or balls are easy to hold onto and make a great handle for ease of thrusting.  The other way I&#8217;ve tried it was suctioned up against various surfaces (see: above) and then positioning myself onto it and going to town, an activity often accompanied with my <a  href="http://wantonlotus.com/2008/09/01/nea-by-lelo/">Nea</a>.  Let me just say, this lovely dildo delivers.</p>
<p>The other way I want to try it but haven&#8217;t yet is during some double-penetration play.  The idea would be me fucking back onto it while sucking Dominus&#8217; cock.  Why haven&#8217;t we done this yet?  Honestly, I&#8217;m not sure.  That&#8217;s part of the reason this review has taken so long to get out, I was waiting for that scenario to play out before reviewing it.  Alas, I&#8217;ll just have to make it a seperate post!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re in the market for a suction cup dildo, or you&#8217;re just curious about one after reading this review, I highly encourage you to pick up the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/non_vibrating/silicone_crystal_cote/?minion=DFM">Silicone Crystal Cote</a>, which also comes in peach or fuchsia.  The only problem I have found of it is that of size, like I said it&#8217;s not for you size queens out there, but otherwise it&#8217;s a fantastic toy built for hours of fucking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/sensual_bulb?minion=DFM"><img src="http://wantonlotus.com/wp-content/uploads/sensualbulb.jpg" width=200px border=0/></a></div>
<p>I am a sucker for glass dildos, they are my absolute favorite kind of dildos out there, and that&#8217;s saying a lot because I love dildos.  Though I have never owned a steel or wooden dildo and I have a feeling I would love them just as much since the main reason I love glass is because of the hardness.  I love the way rock hard dildos feel within me: sleek, smooth, and, well, hard.  The <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/sensual_bulb?minion=DFM">sensual bulb</a> is no exception.</p>
<p><a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/sensual_bulb?minion=DFM">The Sensual Bulb</a> is only about 4 1/2 inches long, which is somewhat small for a glass dildo, and definitely smaller than I was expecting.  This isn&#8217;t bad, however, and I&#8217;ve found that the length is just about perfect for great g-spot stimulation, the bulb at the end of the toy can press against the g-spot nicely while the flared base is easy to hold and perfect for maneuvering it to just the right angle.</p>
<p>This toy is also wonderful for anal play as well, as the base is nice and wide (you always want to use toys with bases anally so that they don&#8217;t get sucked up inside!) and it&#8217;s not too big for those of us who don&#8217;t want anything humongous going into our ass.  I wouldn&#8217;t recommend it for long-term plug wearing because the base is rather wide and could be uncomfortable after a short amount of time, but it is a wonderful toy to use anally.  I also generally love glass dildos anally again because of the hardness.  Not to mention that glass dildos are non-porous and very easy to clean and disinfect, which is something I look for in any toy I get but especially toys that I want to put up my ass.</p>
<p><a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/sensual_bulb?minion=DFM">The Sensual Bulb</a> is absolutely gorgeous, I love the cute butterfly etched in the base, and the purpley pink color of it, which I believe just adds to the beauty of the toy.  All in all The Sensual Bulb is a wonderful shape and perfect for both vaginal and anal play.  Obviously since it is not too large it won&#8217;t satisfy those who desire a lot of girth to their toys, but if you want to enjoy a well-crafted glass toy that will hit the g-spot or to use anally, this is a wonderful toy to have on hand!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager_attachment/?minion=DFM"><img src="http://wantonlotus.com/wp-content/uploads/miraclemassagerattachment.jpg" width=200px border=0/></a></div>
<p>Last week I reviewed the <a  href="http://wantonlotus.com/2008/08/04/the-miracle-massager-better-than-the-hitachi/">Miracle Massager</a>, and I was definitely pleased with it (not as strong as the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/hitachi_magic_wand/?minion=DFM">Hitachi Magic Wand</a> but still yummy vibration-wise and superior in other areas).  So, this week it&#8217;s my turn to review the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager_attachment/?minion=DFM">Miracle Massager Attachment</a>, which is made out of clear <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/how_to/about_toy_materials#pvc">PVC</a>.  I would like it a lot better if it was made out of silicone, as PVC and, specifically jelly as is the sub-category of PVC which this toy is made of, is extremely porous so it should not be shared.  </p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve read a few reviews of the attachment, including people saying that they love the Miracle Massager even more with it, and I wish I could give it a good review.  Unfortunately, my problem with the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager_attachment/?minion=DFM">Massager Attachment</a> is one of anatomy.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s back up a little, however, so you can have more information about the attachment before I go into my issue with it.  I found it gorgeous, I love see-through toys (glass or otherwise), and the shape is appealing as well.  It has a nice ridged end, perfect for g-spot stimulation, as well as a platform extending out of that with lots of little &#8220;love nubs&#8221; which is just fantastic for clitoral stimulation.</p>
<p>As one can assume, <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager_attachment/?minion=DFM">the attachment</a> is made so that one can have that dual-action feeling, a nice g-spot vibration as well as a stimulating clitoral massage.  Unfortunately, as can be the problem with a lot of dual-action toys, when I inserted the toy the nubby platform did not line up with my clit!  I had to move the toy around and maneuver it just right so that it hit my clitoris, but when I did that, it pulled out of my vagina almost all the way.</p>
<p>Like I said, this is an issue of anatomy, specifically my anatomy, and there are others who find this toy to be perfect and to line up just right.  The nice thing is that this attachment is fairly inexpensive, so if you already have the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager/?minion=DFM">Miracle Massager</a> and want to try this toy out, I would still highly recommend it.  It may line up perfectly, but even if it doesn&#8217;t you won&#8217;t have spent a whole lot of money on it.</p>
<p>However, even if your anatomy is like mine this toy doesn&#8217;t have to be a complete waste!  While, yes, I was unable to have both clitoral and g-spot stimulation happening at once I was still able to achieve orgasm with the nubs on my clit and the first inch or so of the shaft inside of me.  I was still getting combined vaginal and clitoral stimulation, and since the first three inches or so of the vaginal walls are, they say, the most sensitive, it wasn&#8217;t a complete loss.</p>
<p>Also, if you happen to have something like <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/silver_bullet/?minion=DFM">the silver bullet</a> lying around (review two weeks from today) you can make the toy work for you by using the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager_attachment/?minion=DFM">Miracle Massager Attachment</a> for it&#8217;s g-spot  capabilities, letting the nubs rub the vulva and urethra area (the vulval vestibule), and then using the glorious silver bullet for direct (or indirect, if that&#8217;s your desire) clitoral stimulation.  I found that to work quite well as well!</p>
<p>Personally, I would much prefer using the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager/?minion=DFM">Miracle Massager</a> as a direct clitoral stimulator accompanied by my <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/vicky_venus/?minion=DFM">Vicky Venus</a> (<a  href="http://wantonlotus.com/2008/08/01/a-venus-you-will-want-to-worship/">read my review here</a>), or (if I&#8217;m wanting that g-spot stimulation) a g-spot toy like the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/stubby_g/?minion=DFM">Stubby G</a>, <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/gigi/?minion=DFM">Gigi</a> or <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/iris/?minion=DFM">Iris</a> (none of which I own, but I aspire to!).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/hitachi_magic_wand/?minion=DFM"><img src="http://wantonlotus.com/wp-content/uploads/miraclemassager.jpg" width="200px" border=0 /></a></div>
<p>I was instantly intrigued by the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager/?minion=DFM">Miracle Massager</a> as it claims to be superior to the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/hitachi_magic_wand/?minion=DFM">Hitachi Magic Wand</a>.  I&#8217;ve had many many vibrators over the years, and I (along with pretty much any other person who has tried it) absolutely love my Hitachi and believe that it is the best vibrator around.  So you can imagine my interest in a massager that claims to be <em>better</em> than the Hitachi!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the run-down: according to it&#8217;s <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager/?minion=DFM">VibeReview page</a>the Miracle Massager claims to be better than the Hitachi in three ways: size, erogonomics (design), and heat.  Now, I&#8217;ll go through each of these one by one:</p>
<p>In terms of size the Miracle Massager is definitely superior to the Hitachi.  When I first tried the Hitachi I was a little overwhelmed at it&#8217;s size, but the Miracle Massager is nowhere near as intimidating.  The toy itself is quite a bit lighter than the Hitachi and the head is smaller and therefore easier to fit into the little nook and cranny and get it right against your clit.  Not that the Hitachi is bad for this, but it&#8217;s definitely easier to do with the Miracle Massager.</p>
<p>Second, as it says, it&#8217;s &#8220;ergonomically superior,&#8221; meaning the overall design is better, and I highly agree.  It&#8217;s much less bulky than the Hitachi, and is much easier to handle and maneuver.  The <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager/?minion=DFM">Miracle Massager</a> has a smaller diameter than the Hitachi, it curves slightly for ease of use, and it tapers at the end as well, which is really handy and makes it much easier to hold.  The curved handle makes it easier for me to grab and the tapered handle means that I can move the toy against me with less effort than the Hitachi.</p>
<p>I also like that the controls of the Miracle Massager go off-low-high, unlike the Hitachi which go low-off-high.  A slight difference, and both placements have merits, but with the Hitachi in order to go from low to high one must turn it off completely, which can be irritating even if it is just for a short second.  However, this is highly a personal preference, and both designs do have their own flaws.  One thing about having it off-low-high is that in order to turn it off from high one must go through low first, which can also be irritating.</p>
<p>Lastly it claims to have fixed the temperature problem which is the biggest issue I have with the Hitachi.  Basically, the longer the Hitachi is used the hotter it gets, which is not really a plus in my book.  Luckily, that&#8217;s something the makers of the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager/?minion=DFM">Miracle Massager</a> have allowed for, and so the Miracle Massager does not get nearly as warm as the Hitachi, even over long play sessions.  This means you can play with the toy much longer, which is always a good thing!</p>
<p>I agree that the Miracle Massager is superior on all these points, however, it is not superior in the most important aspect of any vibrator and that is vibration!  The vibrations of the Miracle Massager, while strong and enough to get me off, are not nearly as strong as those felt by the Hitachi.  From what I can tell, the High setting on the Miracle Massager is just about equal to the Low setting on the Hitachi.  This works fine for me, as I often have my Hitachi on low when I&#8217;m playing with it (though I love the high setting as well), but for those of you who need and love the strong vibrations that the Hitachi provides, this toy may not do the trick!</p>
<p>Basically, I love this toy and will continue to use it when I don&#8217;t feel the need for the crazy strong vibrations of the Hitachi.  It is easier to handle, and doesn&#8217;t get as hot, which are big plusses in my book, plus it got me off (and easily too).  If you don&#8217;t need the strength of the Hitachi on high (or feel the Hitachi is too strong for you), then I highly recommend this toy to you, as it would still feel great, and is superior to the Hitachi in design.  However, if you are one of those people who needs the awesome power of the Hitachi&#8217;s vibrations, I&#8217;d stick with the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/hitachi_magic_wand/?minion=DFM">Hitachi</a> and pass over the <a  href="http://www.vibereview.com/sex_toys/miracle_massager/?minion=DFM">Miracle Massager</a>.</p>
