Review: Tantus Little Secret: Whisper

Clitoral Stimulation, Product Reviews, Tantus Inc, Vibes

There are days when I absolutely love my job. The morning I received all 5 of Tantus NEW “Little Secret” vibes was most definitely one of them.

As most of you know I’ve been a loyal and devoted fan of the company for as long as I can remember, so seeing these beautifully colored and uniquely designed little wonders had my mind reeling with curiosity from the get-go.

Fortunately they’ve lived up the level of quality I’ve come to expect in every way possible and not surprisingly, the packaging, design, eco friendliness, ease of use and body safety are all fantastic!

Packaging

As with the majority of Tantus products the Little Secrets come respectfully, professionally, playfully and beautifully packaged in clear boxes that show them off the way they deserve. The only real difference from the ‘regular’ packaging is the adornment of pretty reflective silver, white and grey flowers that make the cases look ‘designer’ in nature and very high end.

*I absolutely love it and hope they keep it up with all the new lines they create!

There’s nothing on them that’s rude, unprofessional or embarrassing and with the exception of the word “toy”, there really isn’t anything to hint at what they’re designed for. You could definitely buy any of the Little Secrets and not have to worry about what someone would think should they come across them unexpectedly.

The Goods

For those of you that don’t know, all of Tantus‘ products are crafted out of Ultra Premium Silicone making them easy to care for and clean, extremely body safe (being both phthalate and latex free), waterproof, odorless, hypoallergenic, hygienic, non toxic and non porous. Basically put, they’re badass in every way possible!

*because they’re non porous they wont absorb bodily fluids, lube or bacteria.

Taking all of that into consideration, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad word to say about anything they’ve made, and since they’re made from some of the best materials an intimate accessory manufacture can get their hands on, along with being anatomically targeted and tested, I just don’t think I could.

As for the specifics of the Little Secrets, I’m going to do a bunch of mini reviews, rather than one basic overall review, as I feel they’re each worthy of their own moment in the spotlight.

Little Secrets Whisper in the color Midnight Purple:

I’m starting the reviews with my least favorite of the 5. Having said that, I don’t have a legitimate reason for disliking it. I just think it looks rather plain in design compared to the others, especially since it’s shaped more like a teeny tiny butt plug than a clitoral stimulator. *Please don’t stick it in your butt, it doesn’t have a base and isn’t meant for that.

It’s also a little bland when compared to the neon orange, pink and green used for the other Little Secrets. I might be wrong but I think it’s the same color they used for the Tantus Curve, Tantus Charmer, Tantus B-Bomb & Tantus Leisure, among others. Having said that, I’ve always thought the color was extremely pretty (I own a few Tantus products in the shade), it’s just not something that’s new and/or hasn’t been done before.

When it came to the things I liked; it’s exceptionally quiet (trust me, no one will hear it even if they’re in the same room), fits nicely in the hand making usage very easy and comfortable, is slightly squishy allowing for a bit of ‘give’ when in use and because it has a simple push button activation it’s easy to start and stop. If that wasn’t enough, the top inch of the sleeve is wonderfully squishy and flexible so it bends and moves with the body very well.

Whisper has a 1″ diameter and measures 4 1/2″ in total length, with 3 3/4″ of it usable. The difference being due to the bullet which slightly sticks out of the bottom. Fortunately this offers a bit more control than a traditional bullet (meant for clitoral use), so by no means is it a waste of space.

Because the sleeve is rather thick it tends to diminish the strength of the vibration, luckily it’s still strong enough to get a person off. It just might take a little longer than usual. If you wanted a slightly stronger and more targeted stimulation you could use just the tip, or to stimulate a larger surface area you could either press or slide the entire length against the clitoris/vulva. If that still isn’t strong enough you could remove the bullet from the sleeve and use it as is.

The first time you try to remove the sleeve may not be the easiest, as you’ll likely find yourself wiggling, pulling, twisting and tugging in frustration. I found it easiest to remove when I pinched the squishy tip with one hand and gently pulled the end of the bullet with the other, taking a second every so often to gently peel away the opening of the sleeve (which allows air inside the space and makes the suction easier to break). Once I had it off I applied a small bit of lube and reinserted the bullet which allowed it slide in and out without any friction or frustration.

As for ways it could be used, I personally think it’s best as a clitoral stimulator, though teasing and taunting your partners erogenous zones is also nice. Because it has a rounded tip insertion for vaginal use is relatively easy, however I don’t know how much stimulation it would offer. If you are going to use it internally I suggest you place it inside a condom first which will make removing it slightly less annoying (you won’t have to go fishing that way – no pun intended). The only thing I’d advise against is anal insertion as it doesn’t have a flared base and will possibly get lodged inside you.

Care & Cleaning

Since they’re made of Ultra Premium Silicone you can wash them with anti bacterial soap and water, boil them up to 600° Fahrenheit, bleach them with a 10% bleach solution, or simply put them in the top rack of your dishwasher…yes, I did say put them in the dishwasher. I also suggest you remove the sleeve from the bullet before any kind of cleaning. While the bullet is waterproof (another bonus!) I don’t think it would do too well being placed in boiling water, a dishwasher or bleach solution. Simply washing it with anti bacterial soap and water or spraying it with toy cleaner will do.

Keeping your Tantus products like new shouldn’t be too hard, just keep in mind you should only be using water based lubricants as a silicone lube will likely ruin them. If all you have is silicone and you really want to use it, I suggest you do a “patch test” first; place a tiny amount on the bottom of your silicone sleeve or the base of the product, if it becomes foggy, matte or looks like it’s melting don’t use it as it wont be compatible.

As for changing the batteries it’s very easy; simply unscrew the bottom cap, remove your N battery, pop the new one in, screw the cap back on and you’re good to go! *I also suggest you remove the battery when the product is not in use as it could corrode and kill your bullet.

The Bad

In regard to things I didn’t like there were a few, though I really don’t think they are that big of a deal and like many of my other reviews, I’m just nit picking.

1.) All of the products collect lint like you wouldn’t believe. If that’s something that bothers you there are a few easy solutions; you can store them in an air tight container to keep them away from dust and pet hair, wrap them in a link free cloth or store them in the case they came with. Problem solved!

2.) The biggest complaint I keep hearing from other reviewers is that they aren’t the strongest. Considering some people are very sensitive the Little Secrets are still very good, they’re just not on par with most hand held wands or other vibes. Try to keep in mind they’re not supposed to be – they’re bullets. On that note, I’ve always been able to achieve an orgasm using them…and I’m a devoted Fairy Wand/Hitachi girl, which should say something.

*For the record, I was actually very happy to see that they used one of the more powerful bullets on the market – the RO-80mm Chrome Bullet which I have included in previous posts because I’m such a fan.

3.) If you’re like me and want to keep the packaging you might not like how hard they are to get out of the containers they come in. I literally ripped the tops of the boxes off my Kiss, Tease and Spoon, while also breaking a nail in the process. I actually don’t fault the company for this as I’m known for having a hard time getting products out of their packaging, especially if they have lots of tabs etc.

That’s it. I literally don’t have a legitimate thing to bitch about, which after that damn Split Dildo fiasco, is rather refreshing!

Final Verdict

While I wasn’t overly impressed with the Little Secret Whisper (due to the basic design and color and not for a legitimate reason) I also wasn’t disappointed, especially since it maintained the high level of quality Tantus products are known for.

On top of being exceptionally body safeit’s light weight, easy to use, comfortable to hold, allows for more control than a typical bullet, is odorless, water-proof, whisper quiet, wonderfully smooth and supple, doesn’t hurt, is very discreet and comes beautifully and respectfully packaged. Taking all of that into consideration, I think my dislikes are very superficial and shouldn’t really be taken to heart.

If you’re interested in any of the other products in the Little Secret line I suggest you head over to Tantus where shopping for body safe dildos, vibes, butt plugs and other badass finds is easy, affordable and your privacy is always respected!

Review: SinFive Eve

Clitoral Stimulation, Product Reviews, Vibes

Considering that I’m often asked for products that are easy to use, discreet and most importantly – affordable, I thought I’d keep with my previous two reviews and see if the Sin Five Eve (kindly sent to me by the generous folks at Eden Fantasys) lived up my expectations.

Packaging:

The first thing I loved about Eve was the way it was packaged; there’s nothing on the box that’s rude, crude or embarrassing. There is no nudity, scantily clad models in suggestive positions, nor any wording that might hint at what it is. The outer packag

e is clear with the pretty leaf and bullet sitting nicely against a lovely purple designed backdrop inside. Sure it looks a little boring, but considering the packaging will most likely be tossed out (or easily recycled) once the product has been removed, who cares.

*On the bottom it says “intimate massager” but it’s in very small writing and since it looks nothing like a sexual wellness product, it would most likely leave someone guessing as to how it could be used “intimately”. View a picture of the packaging here.

The Goods:

For someone who’s rather used to seeing products that come in a typical phallic shape/design, it’s rather refreshing to find one that’s so unique as Eve. With that in mind, I don’t think there is any other way to describe it than to say it’s a thin fig leaf – because that’s exactly what it looks like – a pretty, purple, palm sized fig leaf.

*I can honestly say it’s one of the most discreetly designed products I’ve ever seen.

While it’s a rather “firm” product that’s neither soft nor squishy, it is extremely flexible with both the upper half and two sides flexing to comfortably fit your body. On that note, it’s not at all rough, instead being velvety soft to the touch.

*when held upright, the top of the product flexes forwards and backwards, the two sides likewise flex forwards and backwards much like a butterfly’s wings would.

If there is one thing I am adamant about when it comes to products I’ll recommend it’s that they must be body safe; fortunately Eve is made of body safe Elastomer making it phthalate free, latex free, hypo-allergenic, hygienic and anti-bacterial. Unfortunately it’s slightly porous so you’ll want to make sure to clean it thoroughly.

In regard to the stats: Eve measures 4 3/4″ in total length, 3 1/2″ in width, is paper thin and only weighs 3.4oz. It’s not too big, nor too small, being the perfect size to fit ones hand without feeling weighed down or uncomfortable.

Operating Eve:

For those of you curious as to where the vibrating bullet goes: located on the underside of the leaf is a cover/space the width of a pinky finger, simply slide the micro bullet under the cover (with the on/off switch facing the edge of the leaf) and you’re done.

Operating the bullet is extremely simple as there is only one On/Off switch to worry about. Switch it one way and it begins to vibrate at a moderate speed, switch it the other and it turns off. I have to be honest and say how much I love the fact that it’s so easy to use – especially considering how powerful the tiny micro bullet is for its size.

*it comes with batteries already inserted so you can use it the moment you get it 😉

Like a lot of the other products I’ve recently reviewed I was very pleased to see that it was almost whisper quiet. Sure it makes noise, but it’s hardly anything to worry about: no on in the next room would hear it and to be honest, I highly doubt the person lying next to you would hear it either (especially if it’s muffled under the blankets).

Suggested Use:

If you’re looking for a product that can be inserted, I suggest you keep looking as the SinFive Eve is only meant for external use (think the nipples, clitoris, vulva, balls, penis, anus, feet, erogenous zones etc.). To be honest, even if you wanted to – because of its design, I have no idea how you could insert it.

That said, the bullet could possibly be inserted, though due to its tiny size I wouldn’t really suggest it as removal could be a tad awkward. If you’re dead set on inserting it, only do it vaginally (not anally) and I’d suggest putting it inside a condom first to make removal much easier.

As for ways it could be used comfortably;

1.) If you’re someone that likes a mild to moderate vibration, one that’s neither too strong nor too subtle, Eve is great for clitoral stimulation. The raised ridges on the bullet holder feel rather nice and the product it self is comfortable to hold onto.

2.) Because of its shape and design, flexibility and ability to “fold” it’s fantastic for stimulating the vulva.

3.) For those of you that need clitoral stimulation to achieve an orgasm it could easily be used during intercourse to either pleasure yourself, or you could have your partner pleasure you.

4.) When it comes to foreplay the product is fantastic for helping to generate a sense of arousal, especially when used on erogenous zones like the neck, inner thigh, nipples, back of the knee or wherever else makes your heart flutter.

5.) Its great for stimulating males: you can easily perform a hand job with one hand while pressing on his perineum with the Eve (or vice versa). If he likes having his testes played with, the product makes it very easy to “cup” them while the vibrations tease either the front or underside. I asked my partner what he thought of it and he said it was “nice, not too strong, but enough that (he) could feel it. It was soft and didn’t hurt but something that took a minute to get used to“. When I asked him if he liked it he said “it’s better than some other products we’ve tried, and it was a nice change from a regular old hj/bj combo“.

6.) If you’re prone to headaches, acute muscle cramps, or suffer the pain of carpal tunnel (like I do) Eve is wonderful for gently massaging the affected area, while also providing a relaxing vibration to help.

Cleaning and Care:

Every so often I come across a product that makes me think “now that’s something more products could use” such is the case with when it comes to the care and cleaning of Eve, especially considering it’s germ-resistant, anti-microbial and self cleaning. Aside from a simple wash with soap and warm water, you really don’t have to do much.

Unfortunately the micro bullet isn’t waterproof so I suggest you wipe it down with a damp (not wet) cloth and let it air dry.

Batteries Included:

The SinFive Eve runs off the power of 2 watch batteries and depending on the bullet you get, changing them could be either very easy, or slightly challenging. I was rather fortunate to get one that was easy to change: simply slide off the end cover, use something with a thin or pointed edge (like a metal nail file) to pop the batteries out, put the new ones in, slide the cover back on and you’re done.

*I say it may be challenging based on the various reviews I’ve read, with some people having a hard time getting the cover off. For me it slid of very easily, though I’ve seen people struggle with theirs.

The Bad

When it came to things I didn’t like there were only a few and like most of my negative comments, I don’t really think they’re all that bad:

1.) It’s not the most powerful product, yet the vibrations are still nice and fall somewhere between the mild to moderate zone.

2.) It can’t be inserted, however considering the fact that over 70% of women require clitoral stimulation to get off, I don’t think it’s a bad thing.

3.) I don’t know how much use the bullet holder can handle before one of the corners possibly tears. Mine is still intact, but I’m always nervous it’ll rip in the heat of the moment.

4.) The batteries may be difficult to find, especially if you don’t want to shop online. Watch or technology stores would be your best bet.

Final Verdict

If you’re looking for a product that’s discreet, easy to use, moderately powerful, fits comfortably in your hand, is easy to care for and clean, doesn’t make much noise, is body safe and free of dangerous chemicals, offers fantastic clitoral stimulation along with a way to tease and taunt the erogenous zones, isn’t complicated and full of whizzy features or buttons, comes in “respectful” packaging and isn’t something that could cause embarrassment – all at an affordable price – I don’t know what else to say but look no further: the SinFive Eve has everything you need!

To get your hands on other fantastic vibrators, dildos, lubricants or any of the other products in the SinFive line, make sure to check out Eden Fantasys where shopping is easy, affordable and discreet.

Review: The Xtreme Pack G-Spot Bullet

G-Spot, Product Reviews, Vibes

Let me start this review by saying that one of my very first “play toys” was a remote controlled egg. 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 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 one.

I’ve come a long way since 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)

Packaging

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?

The Good

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 not 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!

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.

Care & Cleaning

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!

Review: Bottle Rockets ~ Saturn

Product Reviews, Vibes

Ask anyone that’s looked online or stepped into a giant “toy store” and they’ll most likely agree, finding a good beginner toy isn’t easy.

In fact, it can be a rather daunting and overwhelming experience; not only is it often hard to find products that are “reasonably” priced while also being body safe*, but when you add being discreet, easy to use, powerful, quality made and waterproof to the list it’s damn near frustrating.

I know, I’ve been there.

Fortunately, there are lots of great products that have all of the above features and then some, you just need to know where to look. Such is the case today with the fun little product I was recently sent from the folks at Eden Fantasys ~ Bottle Rockets Waterproof Saturn by Evolved Novelties.

Blast Off!

The packaging is discreet, professional and in this case, absolutely adorable!! Seriously, I love it! 😀

Encased in a clear, bottle shaped, plastic holder sits a little vibe that’s likewise adorable. Although there is writing on the packaging stating the features and benefits, there is nothing that actually says what it is, or what it’s for. Thankfully there also aren’t any pictures of random naked folks in “compromising” positions or cleverly phrased words suggesting what it might be. All it says is “Bottle Rockets: Waterproof Saturn”, that’s it.

*Removing the product from the fun bottle casing is very simple: unscrew the bottom cap, tip the container and catch the vibe as it falls out.

When I first got my hands on Saturn I was rather surprised, for one simple reason; compared to what it looked like online it’s small, very small. To be honest, I was expecting a “full sized” (7”-8”) traditional vibe, not an adorably cute little 4 1/2″ incher. Fortunately this wasn’t something that disappointed me, instead I was very pleased as I instantly knew it would make a fantastic product for beginners!

*For most beginners size does matter, but not in the way you’d probably think. Rather than opting for 9” long monster dongs, the majority of beginners just want something small and discreet that they can hide away in a drawer or little box in the hopes that no one will ever find it. This vibe definitely fits that bill.

As for the stats, the pretty purple Saturn measures 4 1/2″” in total length, 3″ in circumference and is 3 1/4″ insertable. While it is a firm product (think hard plastic with no flexibility) it’s also velvety to the touch, light weight, fits comfortably in your hand, has a slight ribbing to offer more stimulation and its phthalate and latex free, making it perfectly body safe.

Operating it is extremely easy as there is only one button (located on the bottom) to worry about. Simply press the button once and it begins to vibrate at a gentle, if slightly strong purr. To turn it off press the button once more and it quickly powers down.

On that note, if you are someone that requires strong vibrations or intense stimulation to get off, this might not be the one for you. However, if you require a mild to moderate vibe, one that’s gentle, steady and has the ability to offer direct and targeted stimulation without being neither too strong nor too soft, you should most definitely enjoy this fun little vibe.

Aside from all the other fantastic features I love about the Saturn, the fact that it’s damn near whisper silent is a definite advantage. I’ll be honest, when I’ve received other inexpensive products I’ve found them to be loud, often sounding more like a tractor on it’s last legs than a simple little vibrator, definitely not the case with this one. While it does make noise (it is a vibrator after all) it’s nowhere near what other products I’ve been sent sound like.

*With all of that in mind, I personally think it’s an ideal product for most beginners, especially considering that many of the requests I get from newbies are for products that aren’t “crazy strong”, loud, giant in size or overwhelming in the power department.

Keeping with the idea that I think the Saturn would be great for beginners I’m going to suggest 2 ways I think its small size could be a definite advantage;

1.) Since it’s not so big that it would hurt, nor too small that you’d have to worry about going fishing for it, I think it would be a perfect sized vibe to help most beginners get used to the feeling of having something inside them (vaginally). Of course it could be great to bring about pleasure if you wanted to use it that way, but I think insertion would be best for those that haven’t yet engaged in sexual intercourse and are looking for something to train their body with, whether it be in an attempt to “stretch it out” or to simply get an idea of what to expect.

2.) If you don’t know what your personal likes and dislikes are when it comes to being stimulated externally, this is a perfect vibe to help you learn; you can use the tip of it for direct clitoral stimulation, gently slide it up and down your vulva paying attention to the areas that feel good, hold it within your inner labia and rhythmically grind on it or simply use it to taunt and tease your erogenous zones.

Better than Rocket Science!

One of the main drawbacks to affordable toys is the need for batteries, fortunately the Saturn only requires 1 AA battery to power it. That said, you could buy a four pack of batteries and know that for the next little while you shouldn’t have to worry about not having a replacement if it dies in the heat of the moment.

Unlike a lot of other products that make battery changing a nail breaking, tooth chipping pain in the ass, changing batteries for the Saturn is very simple; unscrew the bottom cap, pop the battery in place, screw the cap back on and your done!

Since the product is waterproof you can very easily wash with mild soap and water, making sure to rinse it well. Dry it with a lint free cloth, place it back in the bottle case it came in (or wherever else you keep it) and it’s safe til next time.

The Bad

When it came to things I didn’t like about the product there was only one, and truthfully, I don’t even think it’s that big of a deal; it only has one speed of vibration. That’s it, that’s my complaint. When you consider all the other benefits and features the product has to offer this one little thing seems to pale in comparison.

Final Verdict

For a beginner product it’s pretty amazing! Seriously! Not only is it easy to use, light weight, discreet, body safe, water proof, whisper silent, moderately powerful, velvety to the touch and a comfortable little size, but it also comes discreetly packaged in an adorable little bottle shaped case – no one would know what it was even if they did find it!

If you’re new to toys and want to get your hands on a fantastic, not to mention adorable little vibe, I highly suggest you take a look at the Bottle Rockets Saturn or any of the other colorful and fun little vibes in the Bottle Rockets line.

Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Review: Jimmy Jane Form 2

Clitoral Stimulation, JimmyJane, Product Reviews, Vibes

One of the questions I’m most commonly asked regarding sexual wellness products is “what are your personal favorites?”. While it’s a question I’ve been somewhat reluctant to answer (simply because I’m constantly being sent new stuff, making it hard to pick) thanks to the folks at SheVibe, I can quite honestly say, without an ounce of doubt…

I have a NEW fave for clitoral stimulation: the JimmyJane Form 2!

The Form 2 is not only extremely easy to use, very discreet, made from body safe silicone, waterproof, whisper quiet (and I do mean that!), hypoallergenic, hygienic, phthalate and latex free, travel ready, but it’s also rechargeable and very strong. On top of that it has 4 vibration modes with 5 power levels, and best of all it comes with a 3 year limited warranty – seriously, I don’t know of many products on the market offering the same benefits and features all rolled into one.

*yes there are other products that offer similar or the same features/benefits, but like I said – there aren’t many, and that’s the difference!

Packaging

From the moment I received it I loved it; the packaging is respectful, discreet and very professionally done, with nothing on it to cause embarrassment or fear someone might find it. Sure, it has some writing on it about the product that explains what it is, but it’s done in such a manner that it makes the Form 2 seem like a prized item, rather then just another “sex toy”.

The Good

The silicone that the Form 2 is made of is soft, supple, odorless and silky to the touch, making it very comfortable to both hold and use. Best of all, it’s hypoallergenic, hygienic, phthalate free, latex free (no worries if you have a latex allergy) and non porous (so it won’t absorb bacteria, bodily fluids or lube) – making it totally body safe, durable and built to last.

As for the actual product, it’s very small (think the palm of your hand) measuring only 3.25″ in length by 2.0″ in width at its widest point. That in mind, the Form 2 could very easily be placed within a box (no pun intended), drawer, container or a medium to large sized jewelery box for hiding and safe keeping.

*For those of you that are a little bit more ballsy (or forgetful) often leaving your sex toys within eye shot – with its non traditional design, even if someone was to find (or see) it they most likely wouldn’t know what it was. Yay! for discreet products.

Speaking of the design, it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen; the “top” of the product has 2 flexible “ears”, each about the size of a pinky or ring finger (depending on how big your hands are – think the smaller of the two) and the lower end is a rounded bulb with a flat stainless steal ring on the bottom (for charging). It’s definitely different, highly unique and rather futuristic!

One of the things I love about the Form 2 is the way the vibrations are carried throughout the entire product: located within the flexible “ears” are dual motors (one in each “ear”) that enable the product to deliver some pretty amazing vibrations. Whether it’s used to hug the clit, deliver direct pressure through one ear tip or the other, or traced along the body (or specific parts: nipples, ear lobes, labia, taint) this little wonder is amazing at bringing on a heightened sense of arousal – not to mention some pretty strong orgasms!

In regard to the noise, this has got to be one of the quietest vibes I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning! I’ll be honest, I was literally shocked when I heard how quiet it was – sure it makes noise, it is a vibrator after all, but for something this powerful to be so quiet, well I was pretty much amazed!

*You could definitely use it without the worry of someone in the next room hearing it, or if your in College/University and sharing a dorm room, I think it’s probably one of the safest bets you could take!

Operating Instructions

Using the controls is very easy as there are only 3 buttons to worry about; a vertically long raised bump with a + (plus symbol) on the top, a – (minus symbol) on the bottom and a single little raised bump near the bottom of the product with the #2 (though mine looks more like a “Z”) on it.

To turn it on simply press the + button once, then to cycle through the 5 power settings just press the + for each increase in speed you’d like to experience. To lower them simply press the – button. To run through the 4 vibrational modes simply press the “2” button near the bottom, each time you press it you’ll jump to another mode. Turning it off is just as easy, simply hold down the – button for 3 seconds and it quickly turns off.

Like most luxury vibes the Form 2 does not require batteries and is instead, fully rechargeable! Charging the product is extremely easy; along with the vibrator you will receive 2 parts – a charging base and the adapter to plug it into the wall. Simply plug the adapter into the base, then into the wall and sit your Form 2 in the base. For a single charge you’ll get 7+ hours of use out of the product – pretty impressive!

Care & Cleaning

In regard to cleaning, since it’s made of platinum grade silicone it’s very easy to care for; simply wash it with mild soap and water, rinse it well and pat it with a lint free cloth or let it air dry. Remember, it is fully waterproof (not water resistant, but 100% waterproof!) so you can very easily wash it under a running faucet without a worry.

As for lubricants, I would only suggest a good water based lube since the product is made of silicone. If you use a silicone lube with a silicone product you run the risk of ruining your product – trust me, you don’t want to ruin your Form 2!

The Bad

When it came to things I didn’t like about the product there was only 1:

When the “ears” are pressed a certain way they tend to become slightly louder then usual. That in my opinion isn’t necessarily a problem with the product, but instead has more to do with the person who owns it learning how to use it so that it doesn’t happen. It took me all of 2 minutes to figure where the ‘sweet spot’ on the product was. Again, it’s not that big of a deal.

While there was only one main thing I had issues with, I do want to readdress the packaging simply because it was something that irked me; more and more I’m seeing companies go eco-friendly, not just with their products but with smaller, reusable and often times highly “fitted’ packaging. With that in mind, a little box or reusable container would have been a nice thought, rather then the big box and silly inserts it came with.

Final Verdict

I don’t really know what else to say about the Form 2 than I absolutely LOVE IT!

It’s light weight, easy to use, body safe, eco-friendly, rechargeable, 100% waterproof, very strong while also be exceptionally quiet, has dual motors to guarantee stimulation, is latex and phthalate free, is hypoallergenic, hygienic, has varying speeds and settings to play with, is very discreet in design and best of all it comes with a 3 year limited warranty! Seriously, I don’t think there is much more you could want from a clitoral stimulator that the Form 2 doesn’t have – like I said, I love it!

Once again I just want to send a HUGE thanks to the folks at SheVibe, not only did they send me a product I love, but they also have one of the best looking sex toy sites on the web I have EVER seen! – seriously, even if you’re not looking to shop right now, go and look at their site, it’s stunning!

If you’d like more info or to purchase the product you can check out the Form 2 on their website, along with other fantastic sex toys, lubricants, costumes and more!
