Whenever the folks at Fun Factory come out with a new toy, you can bet it’s going to go on my sex toy wish list. I love their stuff and am very rarely disappointed. While I have about 4000 bullets like the Fly Micro Vibe, I just had to try it out!
The best thing about it is that, like the majority of Fun Factory’s products, the sleeve is made out of really nice medical grade silicone. The bullet can be removed and then the sleeve can be sterilized for safety’s sake. One tip I would recommend is applying a drop or two of water-based lube to the bullet before insertion each time. It’ll make the bullet easier to remove when it’s time to boil the sleeve. There aren’t a ton of bullet style vibes like this that are so well made, so paying a few extra bucks is certainly worth it, in my opinion.
This toy runs on three micro-batteries, which are included. It’s not the most powerful vibe in the world, but it does the job and you have to appreciate any toy that’s ready to go right out of the box. There are three levels of intensity, the first barely registers for me, but options are always a good thing, especially with a small toy like this.
Another thing I dig about the Fly Micro Vibe is that it’s completely waterproof. I’ve used it in the shower a bunch and haven’t had any issues at all. It’s put together really well, so I never had any doubts as to whether or not it would stand up to a good soaking.
If you’re the type of person who can’t get off with anything but a Hitachi, this is not the toy for you. If you’re like me, and love what a bullet vibe can add to a night of debauchery, you should definitely check this one out. I think it’s especially good for those of you who live in a house full of people who don’t need to know you’re getting off. It’s discreet, quiet and a great reason to take a long bath!
Let me just begin by saying I’m pretty excited that Fun Factory has gone ahead and updated a toy that so many women have raved about in the past. The original SmartBalls got a lot of praise, but this company saw a way to improve one of their most popular toys and took the time to do it right.
I was pretty psyched when I received the newish SmartBalls Teneo Duo for review from Goodvibes.com. I have some Ben Wa balls, but never got my hands on the original SmartBalls. Since the Duo is crafted from 100% medical grade silicone instead of Elastomer like the originals, I think it was well worth the wait!
So, the Duo is a set of Ben Wa type balls that are designed to strengthen the PC muscle. All you need to do is insert them and then go about your business. The vibration of the inner balls will cause your PC muscle to work to keep everything in place and you get a workout that will lead to better orgasms! It’s really simple and equally important to do your kegels – everyone with a vagina should make sure to exercise daily.
The Duo has an interesting texture that includes a finger groove that is meant to help insert the toy. I definitely recommend you use a water-based lube (they include a sample) for insertion as they are pretty big. Because they are made from silicone, you should not use a silicone-based lubricant because it could ruin them. Once inserted, as long as you’re moving, you’re exercising! I have gotten in the habit of using mine after work when I go through my daily cleaning routine.
The greatest thing for me is that they can be sterilized by wiping them down with a 10 percent bleach solution. While I’m not sharing them, I use them all the time and I love the fact that I can be sure of their cleanliness every time I use them. I’m especially thrilled that the retrieval cord is made from silicone because toys with nylon cords kind of gross me out.
I really like the Teneo Duo, although they may be a little much for beginners. If you’re worried about that, you should check out our review of the Teneo Uno, which is basically the same item but with only one ball.
While some sex toys are purely for pleasure, there are others that are designed to both feel awesome on your most sensitive bits, as well do wonders for your health and physical wellness. One of these fabulous multi-tasking toys is the Kegel exercisers.
Originally created to work a woman’s pubococcygeus (or PC) muscle, which is otherwise known as the Kegel muscle, by being inserted into the vagina and gripped by the muscles, these toys just so happen to feel pretty amazing as well. Kegel exercisers come in a bunch of shapes, sizes, and weights. Two of the most popular options in muscle strengthening sex toys are the barbell exercisers and the ball exercisers. And one awesome option in ball exercisers is Fun Factory’s Smartballs. Read the rest of this entry »
Fun Factory toys, one of the best things to happen to silicone since, well, ever, is giving the big heave ho to batteries and switching over to an awesome new rechargeable INTERCHANGEABLE power system. Their up and coming “Click n’ Charge” system offers a rechargable lithium polymer battery plug that will be compatible with their new line of toys and everything to come. Seriously, one plug for all your toys – so smart! And totally green! Unfortunately we have to hold our horses until the first 3 new vibes using the technology will be released in the fall, with a speak preview at January’s Adult Entertainment Expo in Vegas.
While this new system in really awesome, it does have it’s downsides. What if you and your partner both want to use vibes that take the plug and there is only one? Or what if you lose the plug? Then you are screwed for all your toys! I’m guessing you can buy replacement/extra plugs, so really I wouldn’t worry too much about those concerns. Mostly I’m just going to rejoice in how much money I’ll be saving by being able to skip on those annoying, toxic disposable batteries.
This is war, batteries. Prepare to fight! Or don’t really, because you just won’t win.
Happy Humpday! Welcome back to the mid-week stretch. This week is a short one for most of us, with July 4th coming up on Saturday. I love me a holiday that only requires eating BBQ and laying on the grass to watch pretty light bursts in the sky. Oh, and Sheryl Crow, if you’re in Philly. Having Friday off just sweetens the deal. Sadly though, not everyone has a three day weekend. For all you unfortunate folks, this link love is dedicated to you. I hope it gets you through til the fireworks!
Let’s get to it!

Reviewing sex toys is a great way to explore new frontiers and expand your sexual boundaries, something I love doing, so I went in an unusual direction for myself and picked the Stranger II by Fun Factory for this particular review. I’m not usually a great fan of the insertable type toys, but I reason that’s simply because I haven’t found just the right one to rock my world yet and unlike with dates (and certain vegetables), I’ll try anything once. Actually when it comes to sex toys, I insist on trying it way more than once, because I reason I didn’t like my favorite vibe the first time out of the box either.
Speaking of boxes, when this one came in the mail I was in for a bit of a shock. It was right about then that I started to suspect I’d bitten off more than I could chew. Because boxed up, the Stranger II was almost as long as my forearm! Out of the box and still nearly as long as my arm, the Stranger II is supposedly 6.75 inches long which is a little longer than your average guy is likely to be endowed. Luckily my Stranger also has a gently tapered head and a soft pliable silicone body, so I wasn’t running for cover just yet; even if my mind was screaming ‘are you kidding me, it’s 9 inches if it’s anything!’
The Stranger, like most vibrators is pretty simple to operate, just turn the dial at the base to increase or decrease the vibrations as well as turn the device off and on. The only complex part of the Stranger’s design is where to put the batteries. I actually had to get the instructional booklet out for that one. Turns out that in order to put batteries in the Stranger, you first have to squeeze either side of the base to get to the compartment, not unlike some safety caps on pill bottles. Now’s a good time to mention that I hate safety caps – if you have any kind of problems with your hands, they are absolutely impossible to get off.
I hate working out. Never liked it and I probably never will. But I do it because I know the benefits of having a strong, healthy body. I want my heart to keep me going as long as I need it! Same goes for my vagina, so I take my kegel exercises just as seriously as my cardio. Kegel exercises strengthen the pubococcygeus (P.C.) muscle of your pelvic floor, which can not only help with incontinence and all sorts of issues surrounding pregnancy and menopause, but can also help women have stronger, more intense orgasms. And the fact just is: amazing orgasms trump my lazy dislike of working out. It’s just true.
While I usually do my kegel exercises by just squeezing my muscles (the same ones that you use to stop your stream of urine mid-flow), when I got the opportunity to test out a toy specific for kegel exercises, I jumped on it. I figured, hey, if I’m going to have to work out, why not make it as fun as possible. So yes, I think of my Fun Factory Smart Balls as a hip-hop cardio dance class for my vag.

A name like Stubby G doesn’t automatically conjure up sexy images. It’s just true. It kind of reminds me of a short, balding old bookie with a cigar permanently attached to the side of his mouth. Pretty hot, huh? To some people probably, but to me, not so much. The name actually made me giggle and made me pick it!
When I first opened the box, I was thrilled at the sight of the 8” vibe (6 insertable inches), with all its ripples and fabulously curved G-Spot lovin’ tip. The nubbed ridge right by the handle looked like it would be perfect for clit stim action too. Being splashproof was definitely a bonus too! Gotta love fun shower times (don’t mistake this for waterproof… you can take it in the shower, but don’t take a bath with it). The biggest push for my excitement was that Stubby G is a Fun Factory toy, which I knew meant silicone that is uniquely soft yet firm and has this silky smooth quality that I have yet to run into in any other toy. And yes, this toy felt like perfection. Pure joy. Plus all Fun Factory toys are phthalate free, non-toxic, hypoallergenic and super easy to clean. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s Friday! Who else is so ready for this weekend?!? I was scouring the internet this morning to find something good to post, and in my searches, I found these two videos that totally made my day and put a smile on my face.
First up I found this hilarious vibrator race. I have no idea what they are saying or why this did it, but it’s pretty clear that the Fun Factory Heartbreaker (which I am about 99% sure that black vibe is) kicks that other vibe’s ass! Go Team Silicone!
The next video is one of best commercials I’ve seen in a long time. It promotes tolerance and acceptance in a way that warms my heart and makes me wish I lived in Argentina to use the bank adversited. Yeah, that’s what I said – this awesome commercial featuring trans tolerence is from a bank. Top that TD North!
