Gifts For Her

Rather than creating a list that’s generic (like my stocking stuffer post or couples gifts ideas), I thought I’d do one specifically for males and females.

That in mind, this post will be for the lucky lady in your life, whether she’s a FWB (friend with benefits), girl friend, love of your life or simply just a friend, there’s something on this list for everyone.

While I’d love if you shopped through my online sexual wellness store, feel free to click the links (on the right side) for other companies that may have the products offered for lower prices. To me it’s not about making the sale, it’s about helping you find a product you can afford, while also bringing hours of pleasure to you and yours.

*Prices quoted are from my store unless other wise specified

Body Safe/Natural Lubricants ~ .99 – $35.15

If there is one thing I can’t stress enough it’s the positive results a good lube can bring to the bedroom. Not only do they help make intercourse easier by eliminating friction, but they can also make oral sex much more enjoyable, especially considering there is one in almost any flavor imaginable.

My suggestions: System Jo H20, System Jo Flavored, Liquid Silk, Sliquid, Pjur Woman (pictured below)

Massage Oils ~ $3.87 – $17.98

Not to sound sexist but…if there is one thing I know about most women, it’s that they love to be pampered. Whether it’s a warm bath filled with bubbles, a tension relieving massage or simply having the tender tootsies rubbed, spoiling her with a night of special treatment could be one of the best methods of foreplay you could offer.

Unfortunately there are lots of products on the market that leave you feeling sticky, taste like chemicals, stain the sheets, don’t last very long and/or burn rather then warm. With that in mind, I highly suggest any of the below mentioned brands as they do what they say, taste/smell amazing, leave you feeling soft and supple while delivering some of the best quality I’ve seen for the money you’ll spend.

My suggestions: Kama Sutra Oil Of Love, Wickedly Sensual Massage Potion, System Jo Massage Glide, Lava Lotion Massage Candles, Swede Global Fruity Love (first 4 pictured below)

Bullets, Eggs & Rocket Style Vibes~ $4.69 – $49.28

I’m not talking about the kind that go in guns, nor am I talking about cooking; bullets and eggs are two of the most widely purchased and affordable products on the market.

They’re easy to use, not very intimidating, offer the clitoral stimulation most women need, aren’t very expensive and are a great introductory product to help your partner decide if she likes the type of sensation they vibrating products provide.

For those not in the know, bullets are relatively small products, usually wireless that (as the name suggest) look like a bullet. Eggs are much larger, often shaped like an egg (sometimes smaller) come attached to a remote and may be inserted vaginally.

*if it’s going to be inserted I’d suggest placing it inside a condom to make removal easier. Also, because neither of the products have a base I DO NOT suggest using them anally. Trust me on that one!

My Suggestions: Beyond 2000 Ribbed Bullet, 80mm chrome bullet, Xtreme Pack, Reve Bullet, Bnaughty, Ivibe Egg, Body Talk Escort, Pocket Rocket, Technobeat (first 4 pictured below)

Dildos ~ $12.50 – $119.04

If the lady you’re shopping for likes the feeling of having something inserted, yet doesn’t want a vibrator or something with a ton of whizzy features, I highly suggest a quality made dildo.

They’re discreet, easy to use, easy to care for, can often be used vaginally or anally (so long as they have a base), don’t vibrate (though some can accommodate a bullet for vibrations) and provide the sensation of having something inserted while allowing her to stimulate her clitoris manually or with another product.

Tip: When shopping look for products that are made of body safe Silicone (not a mix of Silicone/Rubber),Wood, Glass, Elastomer, Ceramic, Aluminum, Stainless Steel or VixSkin

Manufacturers/Products I suggest: Vixen Creations (any of them), Nobessence Wood, Tantus Silicone (any of them), Tantus Alumina (any of them), Fun Factory (any of them), Ophoria Lovemoiselle, (first 4 pictured below)

G-Spot Stimulation ~ $7.81 – $148.79

Quite a few women that I’ve received messages from stated that stimulating their G-Spot had been surprisingly uncomfortable, tedious, frustrating and/or tiring. For the majority of them, the actual stimulation of the G-spot wasn’t an issue, instead the problem was that they weren’t sure if they were actually hitting it, as it can be rather elusive.

Fortunately, there are many products on the market that can help make finding the G-spot not only much easier, but a lot more fun, while also causing some mind blowing orgasms in the process.

The best suggestion I can give when finding one for your partner is to look for one that has a variety of speeds, allows her (or you) to apply direct pressure, isn’t too pointy and is made of body safe materials. All of the ones listed below are fantastic options.

My Suggestions: Je Joue G-Ki, Waterproof Slender G, Lelo Ella, Njoy Pure Wand, Groovy Chick or Rock Chick, Lelo GiGi, We-Vibe II

Rabbit Style Vibes ~ $24.95 – $186.16

Ever since Charlotte got her beloved Rabbit Vibe on Sex In The City (pictured left), sales for the product have sky rocketed. Knowing them as intimately as I do *cough* it’s no surprise!;)

Not only do they offer great clitoral and g-spot stimulation, but they also tend to have a bunch of vibration modes and differing speeds to play with – a definite bonus for ladies that love variety!

My personal suggestion is to look for products that are made of body safe material, come with good reviews and have “attached” beads rather then “free flowing ones” as there is a likely chance the latter will get stuck over time rendering the beads useless. .

Manufacturers/Products I suggest: Couture Collection, Lelo Ina, Evolved Flexems,Petite Couture Collection Patina (smaller version), Vibratex, Purring Thrusting Panther,

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re shopping for your partners first product or her 100th, *cough*, remember to follow the suggestions outlined in my Finding The Perfect Gift and How To Choose A Sex Toy posts to make the process easier, much more fun and definitely stress free!

For those of you that are new to these products and have no idea what I’m talking about, check the Approved Products section of my blog as more often than not you’ll be able to find my reviews for suggested items there.

Hope this helps you find a perfect product for that special someone!

The Xtreme Pack G-Spot Bullet

Let me start this review by saying that one of my very first “play toys” was a remote controlled egg that I quickly learned to love. It was easy to use, extremely powerful, not very expensive and did a kick ass job when it came to getting me off. Unfortunately there was one very big draw back – it was cheap, really cheap. So cheap in fact, that it broke down within the first month that I bought it, sending me to my local “toy shop” to buy a replacement, cursing the entire way.

*I don’t even think they make them anymore. I went on a hunt to find it and no luck.

Sadly the replacement I bought (an exact replica) also broke down within the first month, teaching me one vital lesson when it came to sex toys; you get what you pay for. Fortunately the girl in the store was nice enough to show my some alternatives and help me find a perfect new bff to play with.

I’ve come a long way from then, having grown into a woman that’s very well versed in the good, the bad and the ugly of the sex toy world. It’s with this hard earned enlightenment that I’m very pleased to be reviewing the item for today; The Xtreme Pack G-Spot Bullet, sent to me by the kind folks at Eden Fantasys.

Not only is this like my original love, being easy to use, extremely powerful, not very expensive and doing a fantastic job of getting me off, but it’s also much quieter, has a lot more speeds and vibration modes, comes with a removable little g-spot vibe (so you can use other attachments if you want) and is much prettier than my first. While it is a tad more expensive, it’s priced at a rate I’d think is very affordable for most people, and most definitely worth the extra coin.

(For those wondering, it’s only $27.99)

It’s Xtreme!!

Compared to a lot of other sexual wellness products the packaging is discreet, albeit a tad boring. On the one hand there are no images of scantily clad men or women, no bold words like VIBRATOR written in bright print scrawled across it, no distasteful or unprofessional marketing standards used to depict the product, and definitely nothing else that might make you fearful someone might find it. On the other hand, it’s boring, painfully boring. However, considering your just going to toss the packaging anyways, who cares?

Fortunately the Xtreme Pack G-Spot Bullet is not quite as bland as the packaging might suggest; the remote is a fantastic royal purple with neon green non slip grips and buttons. The cord is likewise neon green with a royal purple g-spot stimulator attached at the end. It’s bright, bold, colorful, and definitely high tech in appearance.

*personally I love the colors they used as they are quite different from the standard, white, blue, pink and black you find most products come in.

Aside from the delightful color choice there are two sets of lights on the product, one being vertical (lighting up green) and the other a half moon stretching across the top plastic display (lighting up bright red). When you turn the product on or switch from one vibration mode or speed to another the lights dance and blink in rhythm with the pulse and speed. Pretty cool!

*some have said the lights were a tad distracting for them. Personally I didn’t really pay it much attention so it didn’t make any difference.

In regard to the stats, the g-spot bullet measures 3 1/2″ in total length, but it’s only 2 1/4″ insertable. It’s 3 1/2″ in circumference and 1 1/8″ in diameter. To say it’s relatively small for a g-spot toy is slight understatement. That in mind, for those of you that don’t like large toys, instead wanting something possibly better suited for a beginner, you’ll most likely love this product. (though I’m pretty sure those more experienced with toys will still love it, I know I do!)

As for the hand held remote, it measures 5″ in length and is 2″ across at it’s widest part. Fortunately it fits very comfortably in the hand and it’s very heavy either.

*Due to the size of the stimulator (both length and girth), inserting it is easy and painless. Even if you’re someone who hasn’t really used insertable products before it shouldn’t’ be an issue as the pointed tip can go a long way for guiding the product as you insert it.

There are 7 modes of vibration (pulsing, throbbing, steady, escalating etc) with 5 different speeds for each, giving you a total of 35 options to choose from. For those of you that like variety, or just tend to get bored easily, I can pretty much guarantee you’ll have hours of fun before you get tired of it and feel the need to move on to your next new plaything.

Contrary to what one might assume, operating the product is extremely simple. On the front there are 5 buttons: plus (+) and minus (-) for the different speeds, down (<) and up (>) for modes and an On/Off button.

To turn it on press the On/Off button and it quickly begins to vibrate at a steady purr, press the (+) button to go up in speed or (>) to switch the vibration mode. If you want to keep going up in speed or change the mode simply press either of those buttons until you find a setting you like. If you find you’ve gone past you favorite or that it’s going too fast simply press the (-) to go down in speed or (<) to go to the previous mode. Turning it off is likewise simple just press the off button and it quickly turns off.

*I realize my description probably seems very complicated however, it’s extremely simple and not at all confusing once the product is in your hand.

While the majority of people will use it for g-spot stimulation it’s also great for clitoral play as the pointed end will offer the direct and focused attention some women need. If that’s too much for you (or if it doesn’t do enough) you could turn it around and use the flatter side to offer a more widespread area of stimulation. Either way it’s pretty bad ass!

*just don’t use it anally, it doesn’t have a flared base and it’s not meant for that.

In regard to the power of the product I was actually very surprised, especially considering it only requires 2 AA batteries. While it’s not the strongest product I’ve come across, it’s definitely up there when it comes to vibrating eggs and bullet of it’s type.

The speeds start off slow and steady, almost like a slight throbbing or purring, quickly speeding up with each press of the button to a hand numbing (in about a minute) vibe. With that in mind, whether you require a strong and intense vibe or a gentle one, the Xtreme Pack G-Spot Bullet has a speed for you.

I’ll be honest, when I first turned it on I expected some cheap rattling or high pitched squeal, yet all I was met with was a gentle and quiet purr of sorts. Even when I had it set at the highest speed it was still very quiet. That said, if you’ve been looking for a quiet toy, this would most definitely be a fantastic option!

Aside from the strength of the product, discreet packaging and quiet vibrations, one of the things I loved about the product was the fact that it came with a detachable g-spot stimulator. While this might not seem like a big deal, to me it is. Very often with products of it’s kind, ones that are internally wired, there is a very good chance that during the use of the product the internal wiring will detach causing a break in the connection and rendering your product a useless piece of crap that just won’t vibe anymore. With products that have a detachable jack, you rarely have to worry as it’s more likely that it will come apart from the product externally (just a matter of plugging it back in to get it to work) than break internally.

*because it’s detachable you can also buy other attachments like small micro bullets or eggs to offer other methods of stimulation.

Because it’s made of body safe ABS with Rubber-Cote™ (PU Cote) you can use any kind of lube you like be it a silicone lube or water based one.

*Since silicone isn’t as easy to clean, I’d personally suggest a good water based lube.

As for cleaning, you can simply wash the external stimulator with mild soap and water and rinse it well, or you can clean it with your favorite spray toy cleaner or toy wipes. I’d personally suggest using a damp cloth or a toy wipe on the remote since it’s not waterproof.

If there is one thing I hate about products that require batteries it’s getting the battery compartment open, especially since most of them seem to have been designed like an sealed bomb. Fortunately changing the batteries for the Xtreme Pack is extremely simple; slide off the back case cover, insert 2 AA batteries, slide the cover back on and you’re done.

The Bad

When it came to things I didn’t like about the product there were a few;

*because the length of the vibe is rather short maintaining external control isn’t the easiest thing to do which makes applying pressure on the g-spot a little difficult.

*because you don’t have much external control it can turn inside you, shifting the g-spot stimulation from where you need it most.

*it’s not water proof

*it requires batteries

*the external g-spot stimulator might be a little too pointed for some women.

While the above mentioned issues are things I think you should take into consideration when making a purchase, I also want you to keep in mind that you can purchase other attachments for very reasonable prices (between $6.95 – 47.95) which would cancel out some of the potential problems.

Final Verdict

Considering that it’s easy to use, very powerful, light weight, relatively small in size, is body safe, pretty quiet, very colorful (i.e. not boring or basic), comes with 35 vibration modes and has a detachable jack I’d definitely say the Xtreme Pack G-Spot Bullet is a must have for anyone that loves remote controlled products!

The Lelo Ina

Thanks to the fantastic people at Vibrator.com and one very kind gentleman (you know who you are ) I was able to get my hands on a product I’ve been dying to try, the Lelo Ina.

For those of you not in the loop Lelo makes a line of products that could definitely be classified as “luxury” toys; not only are they made of FDA approved materials making them phthalate free/latex free, but they are also seamless (makes for an easy, painless entry), rechargeable, professionally packaged, easy to care for, very powerful and come with a 1 year warranty, along with a 10 year quality guarantee! Seriously, if there was a line that was worthy of the price tag – Lelo would be one of them.

As for the Ina, there were many features that impressed me;

First, the product is very professional packaged. The box is both colorful and pretty! There is nothing on it that screams SEX TOY! -no nudity, profanity, it’s not cheaply packaged, nor is there anything that would otherwise make you recoil at the sight of it. The box itself is “designer” in appearance and could easily be mistaken for an unknown high-tech gadget found in a department store.

The second thing that impressed me with the Ina was the size of it; at just under 8 inches in total length, of which only 3 ½ are insertable, the Ina is a very small dual vibrator. I’ll be honest, I was quite surprised as I had only seen it in photo’s and thought it would be MUCH bigger (which isn’t always a good thing, something many a lady can testify to).

The third thing that impressed me was the overall texture of the Ina; while it is a “firm” product it’s also very soft (velvety almost), seamless, lightweight and fits very comfortably in a hand, not to mention the body.

Fourth, the Ina has 2 separate motors (one located in each “pleasure point”). As a dual vibrator this is definitely a fantastic feature as it allows both your g-spot and clitoris to have direct and powerful stimulation.

Finally, the fact that it is rechargeable, giving you 4 hours of play for a 2 hour charge time is pretty amazing. Not only does this save you money on batteries and the environment (again with the batteries), but it also means that you can take as long as you need to reach an orgasm without having to worry about it dying before you get “there”.

*On a side note; I charged my Ina for 2 hours as directed and then left it running on the pillow while I went about my daily business. I was quite curious to see if the product really lasted the 4 hours it says. To my surprise, just over 4.5 hours later it was still going. The red light was showing indicating that the battery was low, but it was still going a half hour after I thought it would. Suffice to say, the Ina will most likely be going long after you’re done.

In regard to working the product it’s very, very easy; located on the glossy handle are four buttons: + (plus) – (minus) Δ (upward triangle) and ▼(downward triangle)
*push the + (plus) symbol to turn it on
*hold the + (plus) symbol to increase the speed of the vibration
*press the Δ (upward triangle) to run upwards through the 8 settings. Each time you press the button you will go to the next setting.
*press the ▼(downward triangle) to run downwards through the 8 settings. Each time you press the button you will go to the next setting. **One of the great things with this is that you don’t have to run through all of the settings if you accidentally hit the Δ and go past the setting you like; just click the ▼button and you can go back to it.
*press the – (minus) button to lower the power of the vibration
*hold the – (minus) button to turn it off.

While that may sound like a lot, in truth it’s probably one of the easiest toys I’ve ever used.

As an added bonus, for those of you that like to take your toys with you when you travel the Ina comes with a “locking” feature that keeps it from accidentally turning on. Just hold all four buttons at once (the – + ▼ Δ) and the LED light will turn on, then off, letting you know it’s locked. To unlock the Ina just hold down all four buttons again and you’re good to go.

As for the 8 settings they include; a steady low flutter, clitoral stimulator only, g-spot stimulator only, both g-spot and clitoral stimulator, a pulsation, cycling (almost as if it goes circular from g-spot to clitoral and around again) a intermittent vibe between g-spot and clit, and a roller coaster between g-spot and clitoral stimulation. Add to that the increase or decrease in vibrational speed and you’ve more then 8 settings. Just another reason for me to be impressed with this toy!

When it comes to lubes I would highly suggest a water based lube ONLY. Since it’s a silicone product you don’t want to use a silicone lube as it could bond with the material and cause it to break down over time…basically, you ruin your Ina.

On that note, since it’s a silicone toy it’s non porous and not going to absorb any bacteria making cleaning easy; just wash it with warm water and anti bacterial soap, rinse it well and pat with a lint free cloth to dry. For safe keeping I suggest you either place it back in the pretty box or bag it comes with for storage.

Once you’ve finished with the Ina and want to charge it for next time, or if you notice that the LED light is glowing red (meaning it’s low on juice) just remove the silicone stopper located on the bottom, insert the DC plug into the DC socket and plug it in the wall. While it’s charging the LED will flash to let you know it’s charging. When it stops flashing and just glows it’s done.

In regard to negatives the only one I could find was that the clitoral stimulator, while flexible, wasn’t very long and for some women they may find that it comes up short when tying to reach their clitoris. But again, that’s not everyone so for some of you that might not be an issue. Other then that it’s not waterproof. But like most luxury products the benefits FAR outweigh the negatives.

All in all, I think the Lelo Ina is a product that any woman who’s looking for a truly decadent designer dual vibe NEEDS to have! Not only is it lightweight, made of FDA approved materials making it body safe, seamless, comfortable, soft in feel, odourless, easy to use, rechargeable and very powerful (while being damn near silent!) but it also comes with a one year warrantee! I’ll ask again…what more could you want?

Remember guys, if you support me and what I do please also support the sponsors. The more you support them, the more willing they will be to support me and send such fantastic products my way…without them, I have no way of showing you what’s worthy of your time and hard earned cash. Trust me, I know just how much crap there in on the market…decadent products like the Lelo Ina are few and far between!

I hope you’re having a fantastic evening wherever you are!
