Bend Over Beginners Kit Review

I won a Babeland affiliate’s contest and was able to review a Bend Over Beginner kit from Tantus. It has the benefit of being an all-inclusive package with harness, two dildos, a vibrating bullet (batteries included), and two changeable o-rings.  One of the first things I noticed when I opened the kit up was how high quality all the materials were.

I only have a little experience with a strap-on, and this one is so much more comfortable than any other that I have worn. The nylon straps do not dig into your skin and it stays in place. Unlike other strap-ons, this one goes around your legs instead of “thong” style. The harness fits up to a 60-inch waist, so even us curvy girls can have some fun.

The included dildos are 100% pure silicone and can be sterilized. They can be cleaned with a 10% bleach solution, boiled, or even thrown in the dishwasher. They feel very durable and I am sure that I will enjoy them for a long time. The kit includes a smaller dildo, that is a little larger than an average finger at 4 ½ inches long and 7/8 inches in diameter. The larger dildo of the two is 5 ½ inches long and 1 ¼ inches in diameter.  My only issue with the dildos is that they are a lint magnet, so you may want to keep them packed away until right before you are ready to use them.

The Bend Over Beginner kit comes with two O rings, a smaller one that fits the included dildos and a larger one so you can use the harness with larger toys. The larger ring fit all of the toys that are designed to be used with another  strap-on that I own.

In the harness, there is a little pocket for the bullet vibrator, so you can receive some pleasurable sensations while wearing the harness. The bullet has a simple button to turn it on and off and it can be accessed through the fabric of the harness. The vibe is reasonably strong on its own, but being inside the pocket, really tones down the powerfulness of it.  Nonetheless, it is still a nice tease.

The Bend Over Beginner kit is packaged in a simple plastic box, but is sturdy enough for long term storage.

I really love this kit and I am happy that I was able to test it out and review it. If you are in the market for a strap on, you can’t go wrong with the  Bend Over Beginner kit.

Editor’s Pick

• Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex by Ashley

At the core of the book is this: it is very, very difficult to study human beings sexually in a scientific setting. Science and sex are both delicate things and no normal human being is going to act the way they normally do while doing the down and dirty if they’re being watched, probed, evaluated, hooked to machines, and so on.

Note: Some EP’s are picked because of the review itself and some are picked because the product made me go “Oooooh, want!” This one is definitely the latter. That’s not to say the review isn’t good too, it’s just overshadowed by my desire to read this and everything else by Mary Roach. Will you have the same reaction?

Red Diamond Princess Vibe by Evolved Novelties Review

Babeland sent me the Red Diamond Princess Vibe from Evolved Novelties. I cannot get over how cute this baby is. It is made of hard plastic, it is waterproof and it has sparkly diamond rhinestones on the base.  The size is somewhere between a bullet and a traditional vibrator. The RDPV is four inches long, three inches insertable and one inch in diameter.

The controls are super simple, you just turn the base and more you turn, the stronger the vibrations. The vibrations are not very strong though. They are enough to get you started, but not quite enough to finish.

The Red Diamond Princess Vibe was easy to clean, I used antibacterial soap and water. The RDPV has a smooth texture and no odor from the plastic.

This Vibe can be used internally and externally. However, when using internally please use a condom so it is more easily retrieved if it gets stuck or lost.

Pros: The discreet size, the gift/storage tin that it is packaged in, the cute girlie factor, the fact that is it waterproof

Cons: the not so strong vibrations

I enjoyed using this toy and I am glad I was able to add it to my collection.

Mini Nipple Suckers Review

I just tried out these Mini Nipple Suckers by California Exotics, sent to me from Eden Fantasys.

The Mini Nipple Suckers from California Exotics are pretty self-explanatory. You use them to suck your nipples before sex, during sex, or anytime you feel like enjoying the wonderful sensation. They create a suction that is gentle enough for those that are new to nipple play. They heighten your nipple sensitivity and make nipple play simply more enjoyable.

Material / Texture

The Mini Nipple Suckers are made of a flexible PVC plastic that is Phthalates free. They have a slightly “new plastic” smell, but it is not too overbearing. The texture of the PVC is really smooth and has a shiny appearance.

Shape / Design / Size / Fit

They have a slightly pointed dome shape to them. To put them on you squeeze the bottom near the opening and then put them against the nipple and let go. It may take a couple attempts to get a good suction, but after a few uses I got the hang of using them.

These are a bit larger than the average nipple, so one size will fit anyone. I tested them out on a few different people and was able to get them to stick on everyone.

Functions / Performance / Controls

These did create a nice suction, not too strong, but powerful enough to stay in place until I wanted to remove them.

These can be used anywhere on the body where you might like some suction. But be careful, they WILL leave a hicky.

Pros

Easy to use, good suction, nice quality

Cons

I don’t care for the smell of the plastic

Summary

These are a great product. The Mini Nippple Suckers are really simple, but more is less with these. They are easy to use and do exactly what they are designed to do. The gentle suction heightens your sensitivity and just feels good.

Waterproof Purple Pleasure

I was a little skeptical of the Dynamic Duo vibrating X-10 at first, the shape is unlike anything I have owned. But nevertheless, I was excited to try it out. The X-10 can be used vaginally or anally, I only used it vaginally though, if it is used anally, I recommend using the base that it comes with just so it doesn’t get lost or stuck inside.

Material / Texture

Dynamic Duo vibrating X-10 is made of PVC and is very smooth and hard, but between the “beads,” it is flexible. I really like that this toy has no smell whatsoever.

Design / Shape / Size

Although I was unsure of the shape of the X-10, I really enjoyed the stimulation of the beads. The size is just right for me, it is 8 inches long with 6 ¾ inches insertable. The X-10 has a diameter of 1 ¼ inches.

The X-10 has a removable suction cup base, that I tested on various surfaces and it has quite a hold. I also tested the base with a few other toys I have, and it fit most of them.

The size and shape of the X-10 would be good for beginners that want something a little different but not too intimidating.

Functions / Performance / Controls

The X-10’s controls are super simple. A single button on the bottom to turn it on and then alternate through the 3 speeds. I wasn’t expecting this toy to be very powerful, it only takes 2 AAA batteries. But fortunately I was pleasantly surprised. I could of come on the lowest setting, but for reviewing’s sake I tried out all 3 speeds. I came so hard with the X-10 that I was having mini “after shocks” for a few minutes. Even though the X-10 is pretty powerful, it is not noisy. You could probably hear it in the same room if you tried to listen for it, but not through a wall or door.

I also used the X-10 in the shower, and it performed nicely. The flexibility made it easy to use while standing up.

Care and Maintenance

The PVC material of the X-10 is easy to clean with some antibacterial soap and water, however there are a couple grooves where the beads meet the shaft and those are a little harder to clean. The X-10 is compatible with water and silicone based lubricants.

Packaging

The X-10 arrived in a basic cardboard box, with no instructions. But, the X-10 is simple enough to not need instructions.

Pros

Strong vibrations, simple controls, and easy to clean.

Cons

Other than the slightly difficult to clean grooves on the beads, I have no cons

Summary

The X-10 really did exceed my expectations, it has a comfortable length and girth. The really strong vibrations were an unexpected surprise. The removable suction cup base can make for some interesting position and experiences. The toy is simple to use, but less is definitely more when it comes to this toy.

Tenga Egg Review

A few days ago I received the Tenga Egg from Babeland for review. I wasn’t really sure what to expect at first.

As soon as it was delivered I couldn’t wait to open the package to cure my curiosity. I thought the packaging was really cute, it looks like an Easter egg!

 

The Tenga Egg is small and discreet, but I soon learned that people are very nosy when it comes to small cute packages, I had the egg on the coffee table and several friends would open it up and play with it, then ask me, “What the heck is this?” After telling people what it was, everyone wanted one.

 

The Tenga Egg can be used as a masturbation sleeve, or you can flip it inside out and use on on a vibrator such as the Hitachi Magic Wand, or Acuvibe.

 

The Egg comes with a single portion of lubricant that was a bit sticky, but it got the job done. The wavy texture of the Egg that we received was very soft and velvety, the little “wave nubs” inside of the egg created a unique sensation.

 

The Tenga Egg is made of super stretchy Thermoplastic Elastomer, it is super easy to clean and is very durable. During use it seemed like it was thin in some places, but we were quite vigorous with it, and it held up well.

 

Overall, it is a good product, has a nice texture and completely adorable packaging.

(They would make awesome naughty stocking stuffers)

Editor’s Pick

• LELO Elise by Scintillectual

Remember when I said I was on hiatus from relationships? Well, I lied. I know, I know! I can hear my friends railing now about the fact that I jump into things too quickly and yes, she has already moved in with me. But, really, I do think she’s THE ONE. Before you get all hot and bothered, let me introduce you. Dear reader, this is LELO Elise.

Note: Apparently I’m loving LELO reviews again this month (last week’s EP was LELO Ella)! I’ve read many many Elise reviews so they have to be special in order for them to catch my eye or make me want to finish them, and this one is written in an extremely entertaining manner so even if you’re burned out on LELO reviews like I thought I was it’s definitely worth the read.
