★ ☆ ~ Tis The Season ~ ☆ ★ Naughty & Nice Stocking Stuffers

To say I’m a great holiday shopper is an exaggeration of the truth. No matter how hard I try, no matter how early I start and no matter how “in the spirit of the season” I may be, I always find myself doing a last minute dash to the local malls in a frantic search for the “perfect” gifts.

Not this year! I’m very happy to say that all of my shopping is pretty much done and I’m way ahead of the game. Man does it feel good!

While I may on top of things this year, I know there are many of you who will be caught at the last minute with no idea of what to buy that special someone. No matter how stressed you may be, don’t worry, I promise you’re not alone.

For those of you hunting for actual gifts, and not fun little add-on’s yet, I’ll be posting future articles covering what I consider to be some of the best beginner, advanced, couples and personal products on the market – all of which will be body safe, easy to use, affordable and definitely worth trying!

For now, here are some affordable, fun and easy to use naughty and nice stocking stuffer’s that you & your partner are sure to enjoy!

Shop soon, as the date grows closer items will begin selling out FAST!!!

*For those of you thinking of making a gift basket/bag filled with fun and frisky products, this list will give you a very good place to start!

System Jo Flavored Lube 1oz $4.14

When it comes to flavored lubes there are only a few I can use, System Jo is one of them – not to mention my fave!! Of course I have many reasons for being such a fan; they don’t get sticky or tacky, can be used vaginally, anally or orally, maintain their consistency, can be used with silicone toys and best of all they taste and smell amazing!

Flavors: Raspberry, Chocolate Delight, Banana Lick, Peachy Lips, Pineapple, Pomegranate, Tangerine, Tropical Fruit, Watermelon, Cherry and Lemon Splash.

I.O.U. Sex Stickies only $6.95 for 100!

These fun little stickies are easy to use, come in sets for him or her and are definitely affordable. Whether you’re looking for something to help heat up your sex life, bring a little romance to the bedroom or simply add something frisky to your partners stocking these are a definite must!

Sexy Dice $1.89 – $13.68

Is sex in the bedroom getting boring? Having a hard time communicating to your partner that you’d like to try something new? Just looking to have some fun between the sheets? No matter what it is your looking for, sex dice are a fantastic way of bringing some excitement, spontaneity and playfulness to your sex life.

Not sure what you’re looking for? we’ve got 2 pages full of ideas!

Vibrating Bullet $3.45 – $28.00

They look cheap, feel cheap, basically are cheap yet multi speed vibrating eggs and tiny hand held bullets still tend to be one of my favorite options when it comes to those who are new to sexual wellness products and/or just want to try something new. They’re easy to use, don’t cost a lot of money, are usually rather powerful and are also very easy to take care of. While they may not last as long as a luxury product, they will most definitely give you the most bang for your buck while you have them!

Adult Mistletoe $2.29

You didn’t think I was going to list a bunch of fun stocking stuffers and not include something Christmassy now did you? 😉

While the Mistletoe’s a great excuse to make out with your partner, it also comes with a condom just in case the moment leads to something more. I personally love the idea, especially considering it’s so inexpensive and could go anywhere you do.

Flavored Condoms $2.09 – $4.91

Maybe it’s just me but I still think flavored condoms are a great way to add some fun and excitement to a relationship, after all – they’re a perfect excuse for giving or getting a b.j.

Fortunately you don’t need to buy a whole box of 12 condoms just to try something new, with the options available you can grab a 3 pack in assorted flavors like Vanilla, Spearmint, Cola, Strawberry, Cherry, Banana, Grape and please your partner fully knowing your safe and protected.

Hot Heart Massager – $9.00

If there is one product I think is highly underrated it’s the Hot Heart Massager, seriously I love this thing! Not only is it easy to use, reusable (I’ve had mine for over 4 years now), body safe, great for muscle pain, cramps, stiff joints and warming you up on very cold days (I travel with mine in the winter), but it’s one of the best foreplay products I’ve ever used. Just click the internal metal disk and watch as the fluid crystalizes while also slowly warming up. Once you’re finished, just pop it in a pot of boiling water which will return it to it’s liquid state, wait for it to cool and use it again. Honestly it’s amazing!

Vibrating Cock Ring $4.91 – $12.98

Looking for something to make your honey last longer? I suggest a vibrating cock ring!

They’re affordable, come in lots of designs, colors and power levels, are discreet, easy to use, fun and best of all they turn him into a vibrator! What more could a person ask for?!

*While there are lots on the market I’d personally suggest going for ones made of Elastomer, Silicone, Opulux or Nitrile.

Blindfold $5.43 – $14.99

When it comes to products that I think are highly underrated blindfolds are one of them. Maybe it’s something about the not knowing. Maybe it’s something to do with the unexpected. It might even have something to do with the level of trust you’d have to have with a partner to be that vulnerable, either way, blindfolds can go a long way (at a very affordable price I might add) for spicing up stuff in the bedroom and taking intimacy to a whole new level.

Sexual Scratch & Win Tickets $1.36 – $2.26

They’re affordable, easy to use, fun, give you the opportunity to try new things and with options like Sexual Treats for Her, Sexual Treats for Him, Little Love Treats, Kama Sutra Sex, Sexual Fantasies, Feels So Good, Orgasmathon, Sex Jungle and many more the options seem endless.

For those of you that would like to reuse the tickets, rather than throwing them out after the first scratch, simply let your partner scratch off a new section everyday of the week until they’re all gone.

Kama Sutra Oil Of Love $11.28 – $13.35

I’ve been a fan of Kama Sutra products for years now, with good reason; they’re easy to use, body safe, come respectfully, discreetly and professionally packaged and best of all – they taste and smell amazing!

The Oil Of Love products are no exception and with 7 flavors to choose from, you’re pretty much sure to find one you’ll both enjoy.

Flavors: Chocolate Mint, Original, Tropical Mango, Strawberries & Champagne, Cherry Almond, Raspberry Kiss, Vanilla Cream.

*Watch my video review here: http://bit.ly/dwfswZ

Sexy Vouchers $2.02 – $12.83

If you’re looking for something fun, kinky, sweet, specific, naughty or sexy that is very affordable and definitely going to go a long way for adding some spice or romance to your relationship, I highly suggest getting some vouchers/coupons!

These fun little booklets come with a bunch of coupons that can be ripped out and discreetly placed in your lovers wallet, pocket, brief case or purse. Not only are they great as they are reusable, but they also give you and your partner something to look forward to all day long!

Male Masturbation Sleeve $5.00 – $14.99

I’m sure a lot of you may be questioning this addition to my list of stocking stuffers so let me put it into perspective for you – if girls get to have bullets, eggs, vibes, dildos etc then guys should get to have things other then their hand to “get them off” as well. Seems fair to me 😉

Fortunately there are lots of male masturbation sleeves on the market that are affordable, discreet, easy to use, body safe and feel great! Sure, male products are a little less common and slightly more taboo (why? I have no clue) but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get to play too! 😉

Santa’s Coming – Stocking $25.03

If you’d prefer to purchase a ready made stocking, one that’s got a little bit of everything and a tad more, not to worry we’ve got that too!

While I think everything in the kit is pretty decent, I’d suggest you don’t use the “love plug” as it’s made of a jelly material and not the most body safe. Fortunately everything else in the kit is fun, safe, easy to use and the added stocking is a definite bonus!

For those of you looking for bigger or better presents don’t worry, I’ll be posting some of my favorites over the coming weeks to help you find a fantastic way to get the good times going with the ones you like to play with!

Review: Shunga Divine Oral Pleasure Gloss

Beauty, Product Reviews

Before I start this review I just want to say that I’m rather torn about Shunga’s Divine Oral Pleasure Gloss – a clear lip gloss that “warms” and “cools” to help make the oral sex experience more exciting and enjoyable.

For those of you curious as to why I’m torn; on the one hand it’s easy to use, tastes good, comes discretely packaged and is very affordable. On the other hand, it’s filled with quite a few ingredients that aren’t “all natural” and from personal experience it left my lips and genitals feeling like they were on fire rather than the “warming-cooling” effect that was stated on the box.

That said, I’d like to think I’m rather fair and open minded when it comes to reviews; I give credit where credits due and I always try to look for the positives in a product before I say anything bad about it. With that in mind, I’m just not sure whether to categorize this as an ‘approved’ product or file it under my “unapproved” section. For now I’ll just state that I’m undecided as my experiences with it may just be based on an allergic reaction, personal sensitivities or an intolerance to it, more than the fault of the product.

*if you’ve had a negative experience with the Shunga Divine Oral Pleasure Gloss, please feel free to comment below. I’d love the feedback and to know if it is in fact just me. For the record, while my partner said it felt “strange but exciting”, he also said he “didn’t mind it”.

The Good

Like all of the products Shunga makes the packaging is discreet, colorful, respectful and pretty. Fortunately it’s lacking in pictures of naked women posed in sexual positions, instead having a rather sensual drawing of a Geisha and her lover on the front (quite a refreshing change if I do say so myself). The front of the box has a unique flip front window to view the lip gloss contained inside with the instructions for use written on the underside. The back has 4 languages to describe the product with all of the wording being “suggestive” in nature.

On that note, while it does state that it’s meant for “intimate areas” (also using other words like “oral pleasure” and “orgasmic peak”) it doesn’t specifically state what it’s for in a manner that could be considered crass or embarrassing should someone find it.

The gloss comes in a container similar to ones made by mainstream cosmetic companies; being long and tubular in shape with a soft sponge tipped applicator for applying the gloss (pictured above). Like the box, there is nothing on the container to state what it’s for so you could very easily tote it around in your purse without fear of what someone might think should they find it.

One of the things I did like about the gloss was the fact that it’s clear rather than being colored like other products similar in nature. It might not seem like that big of a deal but this little benefit means that the user can apply it without a mirror, or having to worry about a possible smearing that could leave them looking like Bozo The Clown after giving a blow job. (Now there’s a visual!)

The taste is light, fruity and sweet with a slight hint of spice – think warm apple pie with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. It’s not heavy or overpowering and it actually does taste good ( I was expecting it to taste like a lip gloss way past it’s expiration date, but was pleasantly surprised). While it may have quite a few unpronounceable ingredients that aren’t all natural, it definitely doesn’t taste like it.

*The actual flavor is supposed to be “strawberries & champagne” but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t taste that.

Finally it doesn’t get sticky or tacky, instead spreading easily over both the lips and “intimate areas” without any pulling or tugging on the skin. The texture is soft and smooth rather than being grainy or rough and it doesn’t have the goopy or messy feeling many other mainstream cosmetic glosses do.

Kissy, Kissy!

For those of you that are curious as to how it’s meant to be used, here’s a list of possibilities we came up with:

1.) Kissing: There is nothing more sensual and intimate than kissing someone you’re hot for; it builds the excitement, can help to set the mood (rough kissing possibly leading to “rough” sex, gentle kissing possibly leading to “gentle” lovemaking etc) and best of all it allows you to get close to your partner without actually having to take your clothes off. I don’t know about you but I’m a huge fan of the foreplay that kissing can provide – it’s an act that’s highly under rated! With that in mind, simply spread the lip gloss over your lips, lean in and give your partner a taste, the lip gloss will transfer from your lips to theirs giving both of you an experience you’ve probably never had before.

2.) Oral Sex (for males): If you want to bring up the excitement level in the b.j. department, Divine Oral Pleasure Gloss definitely provides a new option. Just apply a thick layer to your lips and gently glide them over your lovers “intimate areas” i.e. penis. By doing this you will transfer the gloss to their member, making the area your lips touched tingle with sensitivity.

3.) Oral Sex (for females): Because of the ingredients the product isn’t one I would suggest for internal vaginal use, instead I would suggest you gently apply a tiny amount to her clitoris before performing any oral action (with her permission of course). Once your partner feels the warming/cooling effect you can begin using the sensations to taunt and tease her, hopefully also bringing her to an intense orgasm.

*Use a little at first and see how she responds, if it doesn’t do much, apply a little more. Just keep in mind that with a product like this (one that causes different sensations) for some people a little is a lot and vice versa.

4.)Body Exploration: Because the sensation can be transferred anywhere the gloss touches (neck, toes, ear lobes, nipples etc) you can definitely use it for heightening ones level of arousal. Apply some to your lips then kiss the areas you’d like it to be transferred to. Once transferred gently blow on the area and the warming effect will quickly begin to cool.

5.) Lip Plumping Treatment: No matter where you look cosmetic companies are creating all sorts of products designed to “plump” the lips. Whether it’s glosses, lipsticks, top coats or “sealers”, consumers just can’t seem to get enough. Unfortunately, most of the stuff offered by these companies is extremely over priced, require that you use a lot to actually achieve the effect and are usually colored limiting your available options. The Divine Oral Pleasure Gloss offers the same effects as these “lip plumping” products at a fraction of the cost. If you’re curious about them but just don’t have the money to spend, do yourself a favor and try this gloss instead. Your wallet with thank you.

The Bad

When it came to things I didn’t like about the product there were a few, which is part of why I’m torn regarding my feelings…

The first problem I had was the ingredients, most of them are things I can’t pronounce, don’t know what they are or just sound like something that could be harmful. While I know they are perfectly safe for ingestion (they’re also latex safe) I always get nervous about products with ingredients that aren’t “all natural” or have way too many ingredients than seem necessary, especially when there are other “natural” ones available. The sensation may not be as intense with “natural” products but I’d rather that than harsh chemicals.

Ingredients: Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Hydrogenated Ethylene, Proplene, Styrene Copolymer, Styrene Butylene, Ethylene, Menthyl Lactate, Glycerine, Flavor, Sucralose, Polyglyceryl Stearate, Vanillin Butyl Ether.

*I linked where I could, but for the most part the information provided was all text book due to them being chemical in nature.

Second, whether it was applied to my lips or my genitals the product left me feeling like the area was on fire. Maybe I’m allergic, maybe it’s an intolerance (I do have very sensitive skin) or maybe I just used too much. Either way, it’s not a product I personally enjoyed. On that note, my partner said it made oral sex a bit more exciting than usual (for him) and didn’t sting, burn, irritate or bother him like it did me. When applied to his lips he said it felt “strange” and like he “stuck his lips on a battery” (no clue what he meant by that). He said it “tasted yummy and sweet” and “didn’t make his tongue feel weird” like he expected. When I asked him if he’d suggest it to others he said “yes, but I’d warn them it might burn first. Better safe than sorry right?”. I couldn’t agree more.

Final Verdict

I started this review saying I was torn about the product, and to be honest, I thought by the time I was done writing I’d have my mind made up about it. Unfortunately I don’t. If both my partner and I had the same experience it would be a definite fail, but with the negative only being my experience I just can’t rule it out, especially considering that for some of you it might be a product you really like.

With that in mind, I’m going to leave it in the “approved section” with the hopes that others who have tried it will comment on this review, letting us all know if the experiences they had were positive or negative. Then, depending on the responses I get (and their validity/relation to the issues) I might change the product from being “approved” to “unapproved”.

If you’d like more info on the Divine Oral Pleasure Gloss or to make a purchase head over to the Shunga website where shopping is discreet, easy and the products are affordable.

*For the record, not all of the Shunga products are bad, in fact one of the most fun products (Oriental Body Slide) I’ve ever had the pleasure of trying was made by them.

System Jo Chocolate Delight Lube Review

Lubes, Product Reviews, System Jo

Before I get into this System Jo Chocolate Delight lube review I just want to say how big a fan I am of System Jo products; they’re easy to use, don’t get sticky or tacky, maintain their consistency, don’t stain, have no after taste, are latex safe (great for use with condoms or dental dams) the flavors taste great, and best of all they are very affordable.

More than that, they’re one of the only flavored lubes containing glycerin (it’s one of the last ingredients) I’ve used without worrying about a yeast infection after. In fact, anything else I’ve tried has sent me to my local pharmacy in need of a box of Canesten. After lots of trial and error I’ve learned to stick with what I know. Tmi? Meh, whatever. Yeast infections happen.

Just an FYI, the only other flavored lubes I’ve been able to use without a negative reaction are Sliquid “Swirl” and Swede “Fruity Love”.

This Lube Is Like A Box Of Chocolates!

A little while ago I wrote a review of the fantastic new fruity flavors System Jo sent my way. Included in that mix was their new Chocolate Delight flavor, one I had omitted as I felt it deserved a review of its own.

Like all of the other lubes System Jo makes the packaging is respectful, professional, mature and discreet. There’s nothing on it that’s too embarrassing and with 4 languages for directions it’s something almost anyone could use and not be confused by. The bottle itself is a sturdy plastic that’s slightly transparent, filled to the brim with fabulously flavored lube (some companies,not all) use colored bottles so you can’t see that it’s only 3/4 full.

As for the actual lube; its water based, clear, glides on smooth, has a slippery consistency and feels like silicone. It doesn’t get sticky or tacky, maintains its consistency, doesn’t stain, can be reactivated with water (if you find it’s not as slippery after a while), is latex compatible, has no after taste or artificial sweeteners, and feels amazing.

It’s a Delight!

If there is one dessert I love more than any other, it’s chocolate. I don’t think there is a day that goes by that I don’t have something chocolate. Fortunately for me System Jo’s Chocolate Delight lube tastes very, very much like chocolate. While there is a very small hint of something foreign (it is a lube after all) it’s still very sweet, slightly rich, surprisingly creamy, and mouth wateringly good.

Need something more specific? Think of the coldest day of winter, one that you spent outside stuck in a snow storm. Your hands are numb, your feet are soggy and wet, and your body has chills. Now imagine coming home, kicking off the shoes, wrapping up in a cozy blanket, and snuggling in with a nice hot chocolate topped with marshmallows. Your first sip is frothy, sweet, creamy, rich, luxurious, and delicios. That’s what I think of when I close my eyes and taste it; warm chocolaty goodness.

At the suggestion of a friend I’ve put it in coffee (a few drops), poured it on vanilla ice cream (about a teaspoon full), mixed it with plain yogurt (about a teaspoon), and added it to a chocolate martini. Every way I tried it was fantastic! I probably should’t be eating it like candy, but I curiosity often gets the best of me.

The Bad

When it came to things I didn’t like about the product there wasn’t any. It might have been nice to have a pump top lid, or not had the tiniest taste of “lube”, but both of those issues are so minor it’s really not even worth making an issue of.

Final Verdict

If you’ve tried other chocolate flavored lubes and been disappointed, or never tried them but would love to, I highly suggest getting yourself a bottle of the new System Jo Chocolate Delight for you and your lover to enjoy!

Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Review: Tenga Eggs ~ 6 Pack

Boys Toys, Product Reviews

If there is a line of male sexual wellness products I’m constantly asked about (other than the Fleshlight or Bathmate), it’s the fantastic, discreet and curious ones that Tenga makes. For those of you not familiar with the company, Tenga is the Japanese manufacturer of such innovative male products as the Tenga Air Cushion, Tenga Soft Tube Cup and the adorable Tenga Eggs.

*watch my review of the Tenga Soft Tube Cup here.

Due to the fact that most companies don’t want to send male products my way I haven’t been able to cover very many of them. Fortunately, thanks the forward thinking folks at SexToy.com I was able to get my hands on a 6 pack of Tenga Eggs just so I could review them for all of you.

*by saying “I could review them” I mean hand out 4 (one each) to 4 of my closest male friends in return for their honest feedback. With that in mind, you can be assured you’ll get more than one point of view here and the feedback will be from those that actually had the chance to try them since sadly, I can’t.

Packaging

Much like a 6 pack of real eggs, Tenga Eggs come in a transparent flip lid egg carton container with each egg security sealed inside. There is nothing on the package to state that it’s meant for masturbation purposes. In fact, the only thing that could hint to it would be the words “New Adult Concept” found on the top sticker (written in very tiny print). Even with that in mind I don’t think it’s something a person would necessarily associate with sex.

In truth, it looks more like a product you’d find in Toys ‘R Us as an accessory for a Betty Crocker kitchen set than an actual sexual wellness product.

Once you open the lid of the egg carton you’ll find 6 eggs individually sealed for your safety, again having nothing on them to hint they’re meant for masturbation purposes. As for the writing, it’s in Japanese so even if someone found them they wouldn’t know what they are – possibly mistaking them for a Kinder Egg more than anything else.

The Good

Removing the security seal is extremely simple; just tear down the perforated seam, remove the wrapping and there you’ll find a hard casing that looks exactly like an egg shell– seriously, it looks like a plastic freakin egg!

*there’s nothing written on the “shell” to say what it is, so if you happened to leave it out there wouldn’t be much to worry about.

Once you have the “shell” exposed just press along the seam and it will pop open allowing you to remove it with ease revealing a soft, squishy, pliable, supple, odorless, semi transparent, hollow, stretchy, body safe, extremely discreet and egg shaped male masturbation sleeve.

Like most of the Tenga products the Tenga Eggs are made of a body safe elastomer making them phthalate free, slightly porous, hypoallergenic, easy to care for, durable, latex free and exceptionally soft.

When it comes to using it, located on the bottom is a thumb sized hole that stretches to fit your penis, just coat the inside of the egg with some lube (sample sized package included), stick yourself inside and start stroking! It really is that simple.

On that note, one of the things I loved about the product was how easily everyone said it was to use; there was nothing intimidating or confusing about it, no buttons to push, intense steps to follow, precautions to keep in mind, batteries to buy, or worry that they might not “fit” inside it. It’s simple and that’s why they loved it!

By now I’m sure a lot of you are wondering what it feels like, I know I was extremely curious, so this is the feedback I got from each of my male testers:

*Out of respect for their privacy I’m refraining from using names.

Tester 1 (wavy texture)

“At first I didn’t know what to think about it, the concept was cool but it seemed a little odd, after all you asked me to f*ck an egg *laughing*. Once I got over the initial weirdness factor it was actually pretty good. It’s easy to use and moves nicely. It gives you lots of control of how pressure is applied and the internal things (texture) feel really interesting. If it was a higher price I don’t think it would be worth it but for less than ten dollars it’s a really good deal. Plus it’s a hell of a lot more discreet than a Fleshlight. Aside from that, I’m never really worried someone will find it and if they do it’s no big deal.”

When asked if he’d recommend it: “Definitely, especially for people who still live at home or in a dorm room. I never bought a Fleshlight because I was afraid someone would find it, I didn’t worry once with this.”

Tester 2 (spider texture)

“They’re cute and convenient, the design and marketing is pretty awesome. If you had one in your room no one would think anything of it, I’m sure a lot of people wouldn’t even know what it was. Thank God I’m not in University anymore, but if I was I’d have one since I’d never worry about leaving it lying around. The texture is great and the material is really soft, like really, really soft. It’s incredibly flexible and to be honest, when you’re f*cking it it feels like a marshmallow. Yes I know how stupid that sounds but it does, and I mean that in a good way. You’ve given me stuff before and it’s been tight or rough or just uncomfortable, this is the exact opposite.”

When asked if he’d recommend it: “Of course, actually I think it would make for a great little gift to give a boyfriend because it’s not something most people would get jealous of or be scared they might get replaced by. I’ve actually already suggested it to people just cause I think it’s so cool.”

Tester 3 (twister texture)

“Honestly, I was a little wierded out at first. It just seems so strange – it’s an egg!! I’d never even think of doing it with an egg, but this thing is actually pretty incredible. It feels soft and squishy, stretches well and even though it pulled a little on my foreskin it didn’t hurt. It’s still a little weird when I think about it, but if they’re making vibrators that look like caterpillars and ducks I guess this is no big deal.”

*in regard to the “it pulled a little” statement – he didn’t use any lube so that may be why. Once he’s used it again with lube I’ll update this with his feedback.

When asked if he’d recommend it: “Yeah sure, why not? It’s not like its something scary or freaky looking. It’s better than I thought it would be and it’s a lot more discreet than other things you try and give me. I’d be worried if someone found a fake pussy in my room, but an egg, I guess it’s no big deal”

Tester 4 (silky texture)

“This thing is awesome! Really, I love it. It’s small, easy to use, feels great, is really flexible, doesn’t hurt and it’s super soft. I wasn’t sure if I’d fit inside it but it stretched quite a bit. My only advice is to add the lube first, like put a little puddle inside, then stick yourself in. I wasn’t sure what I was doing at first and tried putting in the lube after I had my dick in it. Let’s just say I made a huge mess, there was lube everywhere. Other than that first mishap, which is my own fault, I think it’s amazing!”

When asked if he’d recommend it: “Hells yeah! I’ve already ordered a 6 pack of them online to give as joke gifts. Even though I’m giving them as a “joke” I also know the dudes I’m giving them to will use them, even if it’s just out of curiosity. Besides, all you girls get a shit load of toys, it’s about time us guys got some cool ones too!”

So there you have it folks, first hand experiences from the guys that used them and based on their feedback, I think I’m allowed my due share of penis envy!

As for the stats, the eggs roughly measure 3 inches in length (when not in use)and stretch to 12 inches (when in use). That said the girth doesn’t really matter considering that when in use it thins out and doesn’t retain its egg shape.

Care & Cleaning

In regard to lubes I would only personally suggest a good water based lube. If you use an oil, cream, lotion, silicone or gel product it might make the product rather hard to clean and worse yet, might ruin it.

*For those of you that regularly jerk off with hand cream, please don’t use it with this product. It’s just not good.

Cleaning is a breeze as they can be washed with mild soap and water, rinsed well and left to air dry. Keep in mind that because they are made of elastomer they are porous (meaning they absorb bodily fluid, bacteria and lube) so you might want to wash them rather well. If you’d like to keep the cleaning to a minimum you can wear a condom while masturbating which would eliminate the culmination of bodily fluid, bacteria and lube. Once their dry you can easily just place back inside their “shell” for safe keeping.

The Bad

Other than the fact that they’re meant for ‘one time use only’ there is nothing I disliked about the adorable Tenga Eggs. Actually, because cleaning is so easy I think they could be used quite a few times before you felt the need to discard them. Now add a condom and you’ve prolonged the life span five fold.

The lube on the other hand is something I did have a bit of an issue with – not only is it rather goopey and slimy, it also stinks! Once you’ve used it (because I know most of you will) get a good bottle of water based lube and use that from then on. Trust me, it’s really not that great.

Final Verdict

I’m not sure what else to say other than I think the adorable Tenga Eggs are a definite innovation where male masturbation sleeves are concerned!

They’re easy to use, extremely discreet, made from body safe material, are phthalate and latex free, latex compatible (for use with condoms), can be used in or out of the shower, feel great (based on the responses I got), are soft and supple, easy to care for and clean, are very durable, stretch very well and most importantly at only $6.60 for a single egg or $39.53 for a 6 pack they are very, very affordable.

Review: Wickedly Sensual Fantasy~ Flavored Heating Pleasure Potion

Bath & Body, Product Reviews

In a previous review I wrote about the 9 Flavored Heating Massage Potions I was recently sent by the kind folks at Wickedly Sensual.

Not only were they all natural, gently warming and wonderfully flavored but they were also latex safe, very affordable, high end in look and feel and most importantly hypo allergenic.

*For those of you that don’t want the Coles Notes version and would prefer to read for yourself, the review can be found here.

As for this review, I’ll be covering the 4 deliciously Flavored Heating Pleasure Potion 2 in 1 Massage/ Lubricants I was sent – currently only available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart locations.

The Potions Have It!

Just like the Massage Potions the packaging for the Pleasure Potions is respectful, professional, discreet and high end in appearance. The metallic silver boxes, with their co-ordinated coloring (to match the flavor) have no writing on them that could leave you scared someone might find them.

In fact, other than the words “turning your body into an edible playground” and the adorable bat winged heart (pictured above) there is nothing to hint that they are to be used for sexual or “naughty” purposes.

As for the bottles, they’re identical to the larger bottles used for the Heating Massage Potions; same black lid and base, same heavy duty plastic container (looks like glass), same professional and high end appearance and same waste limiting pump dispenser.

The only difference is that they don’t have the flavor written on the bottle (notice the silver oval/text) and they’re 50ml compared to the larger versions 3.4oz.

If there is one thing I hate about most “massage” lotions, creams, oils or gels it’s the feeling left on my skin afterward. Whether it’s being goopy, oily, greasy, coated or left smelling stinky there is almost always something wrong with the products I try. Fortunately not the case with these – something I attribute to the ingredients.

Ingredients: Vegetable Derived Glycerin, Distilled Water, Flavor, Citric Acid, Color.

As you can see from the list above there are only 5 things that go into the Potions and what is there is limited where harsh chemicals are concerned.

From my experience, they spread nicely over the skin, are absorbed leaving you feeling smooth and soft (that’s if you don’t lick them off first), only have a hint of color (they’re also non staining) are thin and slightly fluid (rather than thick and sticky) and best of all they leave you lightly scented.

*Also on the note of the ingredients, I have to admit how much I love products that don’t confuse me or leave me scared of what they’ll do to me. With the Flavored Heating Pleasure Potions the ingredients are all things I am familiar with and don’t need to look up before using.

Flavorful Fun!

In regard to the taste of the products I’m going to once again give you 2 points of view, mine and my partners, as I find things like taste and scent can be different for everyone.

Strawberry Seduction (transparent fuchsia):

When I first tried this it was sweet like candy, tasted of berries and had a hint of strawberry. The flavor of strawberry is delicate and something I don’t think most would be able to recognize right away. It wasn’t over powering, thick, heavy or rich and it didn’t leave a horrible aftertaste in my mouth. When I asked my partner what he thought, he said it reminded him of the strawberry candies he used to eat as a kid. When I asked him if thought it was too strong or sweet he said that it was just sweet enough, then smiled and pumped out two more drops quickly licking them from his fingers. (My personal fave)

Tangerine Temptation (transparent orange):

I’m going to be brutally honest with this one; I love the way it smells but really don’t like the way it tastes. Like the Squeeze My Tangerine in the Massage Potion line it smells wonderfully like The Body Shops “Satsuma” perfume ( made to smell like orange pop). The taste is tart, a little sour, fairy rich and slightly syrupy. I’m sure there will be folks who like it, but it’s just not for me. When I gave it to my partner and asked him what he thought he turned to me, crinkled up his nose and said “it’s icky, I don’t like it”. Fair enough.

Sweet On You (transparent blue):

If there was ever a product that tasted like Cream Soda this would be it! It’s sweet, sugary, light, very candy floss like (or cotton candy depending on where you live) and absolutely delicious! My partners response “Okay, seriously now, why did you give me that orange stuff? why didn’t you just give me this? I like this, really, really like this. It’s like candy! Can we keep it, wait, can I keep it? You don’t need it for anything right?” (said with a wink). I think it’s safe to say that my bottle of Sweet On You will be hijacked by my partner. (his fave)

Mango Tango (transparent green):

I’m still not sure which side of the fence I sit on this one. On the one hand I like the tart, slightly sweet candy taste (think mouth wateringly good Sweet Tarts). On the other hand it’s a little heavy on the tongue and doesn’t really taste like mango to me. Regardless, as a general flavored product I like it, just not as much as Strawberry Seduction or Sweet On You. My partners response: “it’s kinda like Mango, but a mango that’s not ripe. You know, when they’re still kinda tart and not really sweet yet. Only this is sweet so you’d want to eat it. I like the candy one (Sweet On You) best but this is still good. I’d eat it.”

For those of you wondering how they could be used;

*They’re fantastic for massages since they glide smoothly over the skin (but I’ll guarantee you’ll eat them before they get a chance to absorb).

*If you’re having a hard time with b.j.’s or just want to add something to the oral sex experience they’re wonderful additions (if used on females just keep them out of the vagina).

*Finally, because they gently warm when rubbed or blown on they’re great for body exploration like nipple play or teasing other erogenous zones.

On that note, unlike other products that aren’t latex safe you don’t have to worry if you have left over on your hands. You can still apply a condom, dental dam or female condom and not be worried you’ll ruin it.

The Bad

When it came to things I didn’t like there were only two:

For those of you not in the know: when the body breaks down glycerin it turns it into a sugar and yeast thrives in a sugary environment – put 2 and 2 together and you’ve found yourself shopping for a package of Canesten (yeast infection treatment). 🙁

That said, since the first ingredient is glycerin (even thought it’s vegetable derived rather than animal derived) I would only suggest using them as a lube with caution. If you’ve never had one, or get them infrequently you might be okay, but sometimes it’s just not worth chancing it.

*I used them for everything but a lube (I was honestly too scared to try) and was very impressed. For those of you that have or will be using them as a lube feel free to come back to this page and let me know how it goes.

Secondly, since ingredients are the same as the Massage Potions I’m not exactly sure what makes them different – i.e. used for lubes when the larger ones aren’t meant for that. Maybe the amount of ingredients are different and that’s why, but it just seems a little silly. Since I went to school for Business Management I know how the marketing game goes, but I would have much rather had them marketed as a smaller option so you can taste and sample them before you buy a bigger bottle of your fave, rather than a different product all together.

Aside from that, and it’s something I don’t really consider a “bad thing” as it’s more to do with where you live than anything about the product per se – the line of Flavored Heating Pleasure Potions is exclusively available through Shoppers Drug Mart – meaning you can’t get them anywhere else.

If you do decide to try them (and I suggest you do, especially considering they’re only around $12.99) check the family planning section of the store (where the condoms are) as that’s where I keep finding them.

Final Verdict

While I wasn’t a fan of all the flavors I do think they are a fantastic line of products!!

They’re easy to use, discreet (both the packaging and bottle), are latex safe, hypo allergenic and all natural, they don’t get sticky or leave you feeling gross after, have no after taste, feel great when warmed up, absorb nicely and best of all – at only $12.99 are very affordable!
