Review: Hold On To Me

Today’s new review is the Hold on to Me vaginal beads by OhMiBod, which were given to me by Babeland.

Vaginal balls, or better known as ben-wa balls, have been used throughout the ages to help aid in better sex, and to stregthen PC muscles. These would be ideal for someone who has just given birth, or who has bladder control problems; of course, consult your doctor beforehand to make sure that it’s okay. These are also suitable for someone who simply wants to strengthen their PC muscles- stronger PC muscles have been linked to better orgasms. They can also be used during intercourse as well. However, make sure that these are only used vaginally, and not anally.

The balls come in four sizes; one low weight ball, another medium sized ball, and two larger balls; in order to use, be sure to slip the balls in the sling they come with, and it’s smooth sailing from there. I’ve never found official directions on how to use ben wa balls, but I found they best work when used five times a week, with a break on the weekend.The balls have a really nice rattling effect; it didn’t cause an instant orgasm, but it was nice to feel throughout the day.

The stats are as followed:

• 1 dot weight: 0.9 oz.
• 1 dot size: 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
• 2 dots weight: 1.1 oz.
• 2 dots size: 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
• 3 dots weight: 1.2 oz.
• 3 dots size: 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
• 4 dots weight: 1.4 oz.
• 4 dots size: 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″

The balls’ sling is made from silicone, which can be cleaned or sterilized. To sterilize, use either a 10% bleach solution or boil in hot water for three minutes; to clean, soap or toy cleaner, and warm water will suffice. The balls themselves are made of ABS plastic, which cannot be sterilized. To clean these, wash with a toy cleaner/ soap and warm water.

The packaging was a little ridiculous in my opinion; the balls came packaged in overly large box, with a sleeve and padded interior. It’s a nice idea, but I discarded it.

What Did You Think?

These balls were okay, but definitely nothing to write home about. Though I enjoyed the internal rattling, I prefer my Fun Factory Smartballs any day. When I attempted to pull the cord out of my vagina, I was worried that it would break, but thankfully it did not. I also didn’t like how I can’t sterilize the balls.

Overall, I would give the balls 3 Stars.

Review: Double Agent Dildo

Another review from my favorite sex toy shop ever, Babeland!

 I was kindly bestowed the Double Agent Dildo made by Tantus toys.

As expected of Tantus, the dildo is made from hypoallergenic, hygienic, phthalates free, and non- toxic silicone. It has no smell or taste. My only other toy by Tantus is the O2 Cush, which has a soft exterior with a solid core. However, the Double Agent dildo has a soft exterior, but no solid core. Because of this, it’s supposed to be ideal for packing, but I think that it’s still too firm, and could give the user the appearance of having a massive hard on. I would highly recommend this toy to someone who likes having sex with larger, but more forgivable toys. It is harness compatible and is wonderful for anal sex because it has a flared base.

For the time being, it comes only in a caramel (?) color, but Babeland has stated on its website that more colors will be released soon. I placed a question mark after caramel because that’s the closest color I could match it with.

What I absolutely love about silicone is that it’s extremely easy to maintain. To just clean it, use a toy cleaner or soap and warm water. To sterilize the toy, the dildo can either be boiled for two to three minutes or it can be cleaned with a ten percent bleach solution. Do not clean with isopropynol alcohol, as this could ruin the toy’s silicone. The Double Agent Dildo can be stored alongside pure silicone, glass, metal, or ceramic toys. Do not store with jelly, PVS, or silicone mixed toys, as this could warp both toys.

The Double Agent is a total of 6 1/2 inches long, and 1 1/2 inches wide. It’s somewhat realistically designed, as it has a more natural color and an uncircumcised head. However, it’s still a pretty abstract dildo, as it does not come with balls, hair, or veins. It’s relatively smooth, but there are slight indentations throughout the toy. These indentations can be felt ever so slightly when inserted internally. The head is more pronounced, so when inserted, it gives the user a “popping” feeling when inserted. I didn’t have an issue with it catching on my pubic bone, but it may for those who are sensitive to textures. The toy has a large, round base so that it can be used with most harnesses, and allows the toy to be used during anal sex without worry that it will get lost.

As I mentioned beforehand, the toy is soft and very pliable. Because of this, I wouldn’t really recommend it to those who need a solid toy. This toy takes a little bit of prep to insert, but when inserted, it’s much more forgiving that some silicone toys (such as toys made by Fun Factory) and metal or ceramic toys. Because of that, it’s easier to perform heavy thrusting with because it’s less likely to harm the the user. So for those like heavy thrusting without bruised cervixes or anuses, this toy was created with you in mind!

This is also fabulous for use in pretty much any situation, including the shower. However, remember, this is only meant to be used with water- based lubes. If the user decides to use an oil or silicone based lube, be sure to spot test it on the toy to make sure that it won’t completely damage or warp the toy.

As customary of the Tantus, the Double Agent comes packaged in a clear plastic Tantus box, with various little blurbs written all over the box. The packaging is far from discreet, as the toy can clearly been seen in the box.

What did you think of the Double Agent Dildo?

I’m not used to playing with toys this soft, however, I fallen in love with it. I like using larger insertable dildos, and this toy has turned out to be an excellent warm up toy. I like how forgiving it is, and that I can use it for several sessions in a row without bruising my cervix. And of course, I’m absolutely in love with how body safe it is, but I wouldn’t expect any less from Tantus. Overall, the Double Agent Dildo deserves 4 Stars. 

Review: Flavored Moist Personal Lubricant in Strawberry Flavor

A much overdue review for the kind people of The Adult Toy Shoppe! Today’s product is the Flavored Moist Personal lubricant in Strawberry flavoring.

Lubes are sometimes an essential staple for wonderful sex, however, I wouldn’t think twice of putting this in my collection again. It’s too sticky for handjobs, and has too much sugar for safe vaginal sex (don’t even think of trying this if the user is prone to yeast infection!), and not thick enough for anal sex. It would be great for oral sex… if it didn’t have such a chemical taste. So what type of situation would this be suitable for? Um, probably none, unless the user has a chemical tasting fetish.

The Flavored Moist Personal lubricant is a waterbased lubricant; the ingredients list, which is provided on a small tag, goes as followed: Water, glycerin, propylene glycol,sodium polymethacrylate, flavor, hydroethylcellulose, sodium benzoate, carbomer, PEG- 45M, tertrasodium, citric acid, tetrahydroxypropyl Ethylnendiamine, red 40, red 33, methylparaben, and Diazolidinyl Urea.

So this ingredient list tells us two things: the lube carries glycerin, which has been linked to yeast infections and UTIs in women, and it also carries parabens, which has been linked to breast cancer and allergic reactions to those who have paraben allergies. Create your own opinion about that.

Moving on… Now, it’s necessary to talk about the texture and consistency of the lube. It’s a thinner lube, which is why I said that it wouldn’t be suitable for anal sex. (If you want a good anal lube, I recommend a silicone or silicone hybrid lube).

The lube also dries out quickly and becomes sticky within about five minutes. I found this to be incredibly annoying- when using a waterbased lube, I have no interest in cleaning myself up after use, which is what I ended up doing. I wasn’t impressed with how quickly it dried- I wasn’t expecting it to last for hours, but it’s absolutely ridiculous that I only got five minutes use with a quarter size application. In order to “resurrect” the lube, use a little bit of water on the place being used, and it shouldn’t be necessary to reapply more lube.

For the smell and taste… that was certainly an interesting experience. Flavored lubes, I’m sure, were created to make oral sex a better tasting experiencing. Personally, I would either go without or use another lube if those were my options. The lube did have a strawberry taste initially (for about ten seconds) and then left an awful chemical taste in my mouth afterwards. When I first smelled the lube, it smelled like a sweet fruit juice, but I could also detect a chemical undertone, too. So would I recommend this for oral? Absolutely not.

So, how is this bottle of joy packaged? It comes in a pink spray bottle, so it can be a little messy to use during sex, especially if the user has bodily fluids and lube already on their hands. The user is getting 4 fluid ounces of lube. It’s not at all discreetly packaged; it has written, in large, loopy letters, “Flavored Moist Personal Lubricant Strawberry” written on the front. It has nothing written on the back. It has nothing written on the back. It comes with a small tag attached to the top with a full ingredient list included on the back.

What did you think of the Flavored Moist Personal Lubricant?

I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, since it contains glycerin, parabens; it also doesn’t last very long, and has a weird smell and a terrible taste, and it’s not suitable for pretty much any type of sex act. There are other, much better lubes, on the market, so it would be best to use those instead.

Review: Babeland Pleasure Pack

A second review for my kind readers! This review discusses the Babeland Pleasure Pack, that I so kindly received to review from Babeland.

The Pleasure Pack is a necessity for almost anyone; it includes one condom, one wipe, and one sample size packet of BabeLube.

Condom

The condom is meant for penises (or toys) that are about average length and width; however, it can also accommodate larger sizes. I was able to comfortably fit the condom over the complete girth and length of my Tantus Cush, so that it was completely covered.

It is a latex condom, so it is not meant for who suffer from latex allergies. As a precaution, this condom can only be used with water or silicone based lube. Stay away from oil based lubes because it can degrade the condom. Babeland claims that these are thinner condoms, so it adds for a more intimate and closer feel for those that need a condom but don’t want to compromise closeness.

The condom also comes pre-lubricated; however, it’s always a wonderful idea to have some lube on hand, in case it’s needed. Condoms that are properly lubed are less likely to break during use.

Of course, the purpose of the condom is to not only prevent pregnancies, but to minimize the spread of STDs. However, condoms do not completely eliminate either risk. But despite that it doesn’t minimize the risks completely, still use them if either partner is not fluid bonded, or if there is no other form of birth control available. Condoms reduce the risk of pregnancy by 85% when used properly.

The condom is completely smooth, without ribs and other special textures. The tip has a reservoir, so that it will minimize the fluid that could possibly spill over.

Babeland Fresh Wipe

It is great for quick clean up for either toys or the body; however, be sure to use this only externally. The wipe is paraben and alcohol free, so it should work for most bodies and cause little to no irritation.

The ingredients are as followed: Water, propylene Glycol, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive Fruit) Oil, Aloe Baradensis Leaf Juice, Polysorbate 20, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, and Chlorhexidine Digluconate.

The wipe was slightly sweet, and it may irritate those with sensitive noses. However, I didn’t find the odor offensive at all, and it barely left a smell in my silicone toys. The wipe can be used to clean all sorts of toys, including silicone and jelly. However, remember these are not a proper replacement for boiling or sterilizing toys.

Babelube

The lube provided is water-based and is made of a thick, gel- like consistency. It’s very slippery, and it’s one of the few lubes that I would designate appropriate for anal, vaginal, and oral use. It has no taste, and is incredibly thick. It is glycerin and paraben free, hypoallergenic, water- soluble, and non staining. I can attest to the staining part because I spilled some on my sheets, but it went away after five minutes. Because it is water soluble, it’s not great for shower use.

The ingredient list is as followed: distilled water, polyoxyehylene, sodium carbomer, phenooxyethanol, and ethylhexyglycerin.

To use, use about a dime size and it should last for about fifteen minutes. If the lube needs to be “resurrected” during use, be sure to add a small amount of water. When done using, there is no need to clean up because the lube will not leave any bouts of stickiness behind, and it will absorb into the body without a problem.

What did you think of the Babeland Pleasure Pack?

I absolutely adore it! I always seem to have random, unexpected sex, so it makes me very happy that I have something like this on hand at all times. I would recommend it to anyone that travels a lot or just likes to be prepared.

I gave this pack 5 Stars.

Review: Blossom Organics Warm Sensations Lubricant

As a slutty blogger, I of course, I have many sexy things to talk about it. However, I don’t qualify my new “warming” lube that I got courtesy of Babeland toys that sexy. I’ll tell you why I put “warming” in parenthesis later.

The lube is called Blossom’s Organics Warm Sensation Moisturizing Lubricant. It came to me in a sleek box that had the name of the lube written on the front, the ingredients listed on the left panel, a small blurb of the body safeness of the lube written on the right panel, and another blurb in English and French written on the back panel. The lube itself comes in a 4 fl oz. squeeze bottle with a pop off top.

Now, what I attracted to me the lube is that it boasts of being body safe- in this product, there is no glycerin, which can cause yeast infections in women; there are no parabens, which has been linked to breast cancer; there is no silicone, which makes it great for play with silicone and silicone mixed toys; and there is no alcohol, hormones, artificial dyes, flavorings, fragrances. The lube is compatible with condoms.

After reading about this, I was pretty impressed. However, when I opened the bottle, I found that the lube smelled vaguely like… mint toothpaste. After analyzing the ingredient list, I found that the lube had peppermint in it, so that’s the cause of the smell. I didn’t really care for that, but I found after rubbing the lube into the skin for about 30- 40 seconds, the smell dissipated and I could no longer smell it. However, since lube is supposed to stay in a somewhat liquid or gel form while being used, it’s worth noting that the toothpaste is mild; it will be smelled, but it won’t be overpowering.

Concerning the ingredient list; Blooming Organics Warming Lube contains the following: Organic aloe barbadensis leaf extract, sorbitol, hydroxyethylcellulose, hyaluronic acid, organic stevia rebaudiana extract, tocopherol (Vitamin E), sodium citrate, potassium sorbate, organic mentha piperta (peppermint) essential oil, and organic extracts of paeonia albiflora (peony) root & passiflora incarnata flower.

The lube is gel- like and will stay in place once applied. It will last for about ten to fifteen minutes after being applied. So that’s about the average application lifespan of a lube- it’s not amazing, but it will work for a good portion of individuals. Only about a pea size will be needed.

Since it’s a water based lube, it should technically be absorbed into the skin, and there should be little need for it to be washed off. However, I found that it left me slightly sticky, so it would be best to wash after use.

One of the reasons I picked out this lube to review was because I’ve never tried a warming lube before and I was curious how this would work for me. Um, it didn’t. I applied it onto my clitoris and I waited for about a minute to see if anything would happen and I didn’t feel anything. The lube was just as cold at the end of the minute as it was after I applied it.

So I decided that I probably needed to masturbate. I reapplied some more lube, and then grabbed my Mimi- my clit felt slightly warm, but not much. I then switched to my Hitachi, and I found that I was having a hard time having an orgasm. After removing it for a couple seconds, I found out that my clit was SLIGHTLY NUMB. Wait, what? So the “warming” part of the lube barely worked and it made my clit go numb. For this reason alone, I cannot stress that this is not good for anal sex at all. Numbing the nerves  during sex is bad enough, but this can lead to tearing of muscles, which could cost anyone an embarrassing trip to the ER.

What did you think of the Blooming Organics Warming Lube?

I didn’t really care for this, and I wasn’t impressed with the degree of warmth I experienced. I also really, really didn’t like that it made my clit go numb. It also made me sticky, and to be honest, when I use water-based lubes, I use for them for the sole purpose so that I don’t have to wash myself after use.

I’ll give Blossom Organics Warm Sensation Moisturizing Lubricant 2 Stars.
