For all of you who stood in line to get your hands on your iPhone, do I have a vibrator for you! Lelo, the best thing to come out of Sweden since ABBA, is a great company dedicated to making high-end “pleasure objects” and their most recent offering, the MIA, should be on every gal on the go’s wish list.
What makes the MIA stand out, you ask? This little luxury vibe is the first toy I’ve seen that is USB-powered! No batteries, no charger to loose – just plug this baby into your laptop and you’re all set. It’s perfect for those of you who travel a lot or for anyone who’s looking for a vibe that’ll fit in their purse or pocket for a night out on the town.
Of course, the MIA sounds cool, but the most important part is that this little guy performs when it counts. For a toy that’s only four inches long, it packs quite a punch. Typically, I wouldn’t expect much from something so little, but it is a multi-speed toy that even offers three separate pulse patterns to push you over the edge. Fans of Lelo products, and there are many of you, will be glad to hear that they haven’t lowered their standards for this inventive new vibe.
It’s also a really discreet toy. You could totally have this thing plugged into your laptop charging on a flight without anyone thinking twice about it. Of course, there is a chance that someone might recognize the MIA for what it is, which in my opinion just increases your chances of joining the mile high club.
The body is made of phthalates-free hard plastic, but they suggest you don’t use silicone lube with it because the buttons are silicone. Plus, it’s easy to clean! All you need to do it wash the body with a little anti-bacterial soap and warm water. I was a little concerned about how long the charge would last, but the company claims 3.5 hours and I haven’t had any problems so far!
To be honest, the only thing that concerns me about this vibe is that someone might mistakenly think it’s lipstick. I’m not the type of girl to carry makeup around and I do worry about my reputation. The MIA is the perfect vibe for anyone who likes to travel with toys and would be a perfect gift. You should probably just take my word and get one.

I really like bullets. I have about a million sex toys, but when it comes to a quick orgasm, that’s what I usually reach for. As you can imagine, I was totally excited to check out the Grapevine Vibe.
Bullets are supposed to be simple, and in its simplicity, this is a good toy. It has four different speeds, and unless you’re a Hitachi-or-the-highway kind of girl, they will definitely do the trick. The control pack was designed for those mindless moments of bliss with just two buttons and the cord was just long enough so my girlfriend could control the speed while I teased her with the bullet. I would have appreciated a few more inches (that’s what she said) but it wasn’t really an issue.
On a recommendation from a review on Babeland.com, I tried inserting this bullet into a silicone dildo that came with one of those simple silver bullets that is either on or off and was very pleased. Whoever recommended this was a genius, because adding the ability to change speeds was definitely a step up from the standard bullet the dildo came with! I would recommend this toy just for that, to be honest. Oh yeah, make sure you use a little lube on it before inserting it into the dildo – this should make removal easy and keep the wires intact.
This bullet is made of a velvety plastic, which is non-porous and phthalate-free. It’s also really easy to clean, especially because it’s waterproof, so all you need to do is wash it up with a little antibacterial soap and hot water.
My only complaint is that this toy doesn’t have any vibration patterns, and nothing sets me off like an escalating vibe. Of course, for the price I can’t complain too much.
Overall, this is a good toy that’s made from safe materials, easy to maintain, and quite affordable. This is the perfect first toy for a friend or a cheap addition for those of you who know the importance of variety!
You heard it through the Grapevine – check out this awesome vibe!

Sometimes, when I have places to be but I’m really horny, I need to get off in a pinch. Enter the Papillon. I love this little guy. With only two speeds and a simple design, this vibe gives me one of the quickest - and most satisfying - orgasms of anything in my toy collection. It’s strictly for clitoral stimulation which is the easiest way for me to reach orgasm with a toy and the two speeds are strong enough for an orgasm on either setting (I actually prefer the lower setting, but that’s just me!).
Small (the whole thing fits in my tiny hand and I can close my fingers) but powerful, the Papillon has a velvety-smooth texture and its petite size makes it so there’s no awkward fumbling around. This toy is the perfect size to throw in your purse on a trip for some quality alone time. It’s not super loud - any sounds could be drowned out by running water, TV background noise, or even soft music. And battery replacement is inconspicuous - two AAAs does the trick. The Papillon is the toy I plan on taking with me on those annoying holiday trips back to where I came from or throwing in my carry-on before I head to industry shows.
The best thing about the Papillon has nothing to do with the vibrator itself. Part of the proceeds from sales of this vibe go to the Living Beyond Breast Cancer Foundation - which is a great cause! I can’t say enough good things about this vibrator - every woman should own one.

You’re the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasies…
Pat Benatar may not have been speaking about Fun Factory’s amazing vibrator The Heartbreaker (or was she?), but she manages to capture my exact feelings about this bad boy!
This silicone vibe is the kind of toy that every woman should have. It’s a pretty basic vibe, just better made than most. It’s made of Fun Factory’s amazing silicone, which is basically the best thing in the world. The end is slightly curved for g-spot stimulation and its ribbed texture offers amazing sensations. This flexible toy is designed to please you in a number of ways – so it’s one that I find myself reach in all kinds of situations
The one thing some of you should know is that the vibe of this toy isn’t incredibly strong - in the grand scheme of sex toys it’s probably average. Personally, while I love a strong vibe as much as the next red-blooded American, I often prefer toys with a little less buzz for partnered play and this one has served me well. Personally I think that this toy is best measured for all it offers, not just for the strength of its vibration.
In my opinion, everyone should have a great basic vibe like The Heartbreaker in the drawer of their nightstand, you know, for emergencies.

I love the idea of reviewing a toy that is totally new to the world. Makes me feel like some sort of explorer. A pussy explorer, even. And really, I’m okay with that! We Vibe is the first toy that’s designed to stimulate both your clit and G-spot, WHILE you’re getting penetrated by a penis/fingers/toy/whatever! If that’s not something to write home about, I don’t know what is! And let me tell you, get the pen and paper, because this little baby is totally worth the exclamation points I’m about to use!!!!
Shaped like an oval “C”, the We Vibe has one side that goes inside your pussy to cup against your G-spot and one side to hit your clit, and fits snug against both to work HANDS FREE during penetration. For me, penetration meant being fucked with fingers. And even though fingers can curl perfectly to hit the G-spot, when you’re being fucked hard and fast, you lose some of that direct G-spot contact. That’s where the We came in perfectly. The We stayed put right on my G-spot and clit during even the roughest of thrusting.
One of the things I like best about this vibe is that it is versatile enough to use as just a clitoral vibe or just a G-Spot vibe if you want. On a solo run with We, I decided to take charge of my clit manually, so I just pushed the clit part aside and voila(!), I had a G-Spot vibe! And because both sides are nice and powerful, it was a peeeerfect addition to the clit stim! Then on a not-so-solo adventure, we decided to play using the We only on her clit. Score 2 out of 2!
Other pluses – this vibe is silicone (for super easy clean up and phthalate free play!), waterproof, has 2 speeds and is rechargeable! Could you ask for anything more? Just one thing though: sure it might work right out of the box, but trust me, you want to make sure this little guy is charged up for a good while before just revving him up. I know from personal experience that playing without first plugging in is a bad, bad idea. And there isn’t much worse than being right on the brink and having him die on you.
This toy not only gets two thumbs waving high in the air, it gets them while I’m being fucked, with both my G-spot and clit getting action at the same time as well. We Vibe rules!
Enjoy the We Vibe as much as we do!

The Lily is a tiny rechargeable vibe from Lelo, the makers of the amazing Liv. At first I was a bit surprised by the diminutive size of this “personal massager.” If I had done my research I would have known how little it was, but I taken aback to discover that it’s about the size of my three middle fingers held together. Don’t worry though; sometimes good things come in small packages!

The day Delight was delivered to the office, I was both confused and excited. I always look forward to toy reviews - who wouldn’t? I like postponing social engagements using the excuse, “I’m just swamped with work.” But when the Delight came, I knew it was going to be a good night – if I could figure out how this was going to work. I’m not saying I’m extra deep down there; it just seemed small for all these rave reviews. Even in my hands it seemed small, and anyone who knows me will vouch for my diminutive hands.
Here’s a tip before we get into the good stuff – charge the Delight right away. I know it seems pretty obvious but trust me, you’re not going to want to wait three hours to use this guy. I charged mine at my desk so when I got home it was ready for me.

I’ve played with massager/wand vibes before and while they all deliver vibrations unparalleled to any other toy, some are definitely better than others. Because it feels like somebody actually took the time to think about some of the grievances voiced toward other massagers and do something about them, the Miracle Massager elicits a mind-blowing orgasm in about, oh, five seconds. Not all the complaints were addressed - but really, it’s a step in the right direction.
My favorite design change is the massager’s vibrating head, which is now contoured and on a spring. The new flexibility is perfect for added dexterity and helps it remain on the clit if there is any wiggling involved. Also, the curved ergonomic design makes it so much easier to get a good grip on the handle, as well as reach the power/speed switch, which really is important, because who wants the added work of straining or searching when you need to flip that switch.

Alright, I’ll admit it. I wasn’t overly anxious to try out the Turbo Bullet from California Exotic Novelties. You see, I have another toy that looks exactly like this one, except it’s red and it has a few extra functions like pulsation and escalation. When I saw that this one didn’t offer me the roller coaster ride I’ve come to love over the years, I wasn’t very excited. However, I take my work seriously, so yesterday I opened up the package, grabbed four AA’s, and went off to earn my paycheck.
Right from the first buzz, I knew I had been wrong to judge the Turbo Bullet so quickly. It’s amazing what one more little double A can bring to a vibe! This baby packs a lot of punch, offering eight powerful levels of stimulation.

Every toy comes with it’s own set of pros and cons. Some have more pros than cons and some more cons than pros, but the neat thing about all of it is that my cons can be your pros and visa versa! I’ll put it right out there that the Dreamer Vibe (otherwise known as Lucid Curves #21) wasn’t my favorite toy in the world. It was pretty decent at getting the job done and getting me off, but I would say that from a cost-benefit analysis, the cons outweighed the pros for me.
You can’t tell from the picture posted, but the nubby head and the dial actually face away from each other (not perpendicular) and both sides have a curve to them, so the toy is shaped like an “s.” It reminded me of a hot pink periscope or some kind of worm-ish looking creature, especially with little nubs all over the clit stimulating surface. And speaking of the nubs, I actually find them kind of painful on my bits, so I ended up turning the toy around and using the plain hard plastic back end, which worked just fine.
This is a waterproof toy, which is totally awesome for people who love getting off in the shower or tub, I, unfortunately, am not one of those people. I have an irrational fear (well, I suppose it’s not that irrational) of electricity and water, and even though a toy is billed as waterproof, I prefer to stay on dry land.
