Review: Micro Power Egg

The Micro Power Egg by California Exotics is a remote control egg vibrator. I was apprehensive about it because most toys I've received to review from C.E. have been decent at best. I figured what the hell and decided to give it a shot. I've tried plenty of eggs and bullet vibes that I've been less than impressed with and have wanted to find one that I actually liked. I admit it, I'm picky so finding toys I really like is some what of a challenge.

If you want the specs on the toy such as length, weight, etc then just give a quick little click right here and you'll find them listed on EF's page on the left column of the page. The measurements are accurate. There's only one spec that's inaccurate but that has to do with the toy's function. Which I'll get to later in the review. :)

After I opened it and cleaned the egg with soap and water (because I always wash my toys before I use them, lol) I rolled the egg around in my hand. The rubber cote felt velvety and silky in my hand, which I dig. I don't mind hard plastic but I don't actually want to feel cool, hard, plastic. I popped two AA batteries into the controller/battery pack and then went to hit the button to turn the toy on.


And... nothing.I checked to make sure I had the batteries in properly. Check. Screwed the cap to the battery compartment back on. Hit the button again. Still nothing. I tightened the cap up until it wouldn't tighten anymore and hit the button yet again. This time, it worked. Also, the button looks quite large but really, the whole oval isn't the button. You have to hit directly in the center of the oval to turn the toy off. That's also how you cycle through the four settings and turn the toy back off. If you skip the setting you want accidentally, you'll have to cycle back through them all to get back to the one you want. Also, there isn't a quick way to turn the toy off if you're in need of such a thing. You have to cycle through all the settings to turn it off. So, if you're having fun and someone walks in, there's no discreet one button push for turning it off. That's not a problem for me but I know for some people it is. So if you want something that turns off with a single click, this isn't one of them.

It says the toy has several functions; vibrating, escalating and pulsating. The product description on EF says it's so and that would be because the package the toy comes in says it's so. My gripe is that I don't find that to be true. There is no escalating function in my opinion. To me, escalating is a vibration that starts out slight and then increases in intensity. There isn't a setting that does that. All four settings have the same level of intensity, they just go in different rhythms. The first setting is quick, fast pulses that run steadily over and over. The second setting is slower pulses that have a very slight pause between each pulse. The third setting pulses twice at a slow rhythm and then there's a slight break (not even a full second) before the pulses start again. The fourth setting is a constant, steady vibration. None of those are what I would consider to be escalating by definition. Which is honestly fine with me because I don't tend to enjoy escalating sensations in bullet vibes. However, to someone who saw that in the product description and considered it a selling point, they would be disappointed to find it doesn't actually do that.
It packs a nice punch for such a small egg running on two AA batteries. I was pretty happy with the intensity of the vibrations. I like the first function and the fourth function the best. I only like the toy as a clitoral stimulator. I did insert it and try it out vaginally but just didn't dig it. Though, the vibrations still felt nice.

The remote control opens at the bottom to insert the batteries. The cap is easy to remove and easy to screw back on. The toy is waterproof and there is a seal around the bottom cap to keep water/liquid out of the battery compartment. I had no issue getting batteries in and out of the compartment. They fit nice and snugly but didn't prove to be a hassle inserting or removing. Which seems like a boring detail but if you've ever had to spend several minutes trying to get batteries in or out of a toy, you know how nice it is to have something that is easy going.

The toy's cord that connects the egg to the control pack is covered in a thick seal to protect it from water/liquid. The cord is pretty lengthy at 26 inches so using it in any position should be easy,

I used it in the shower and didn't have any issue with it during or after. I've since used it a few more times while in the shower and it's still working just fine and there's never been any moisture/liquid inside the battery compartment.

I was also happy that the noise level wasn't bad either. I have really sensitive hearing, to the point that most vibrating toys are annoying to me. Or to the point that I tend to easily over hear conversations, even when the people doing the talking are 20 feet away from me. Keep that in mind if any of you ever meet me. There will be no mumbling insults at me under you're breath because I'll probably hear it, lol. Anyway the point here is the noise level is decent. It's not whisper quiet but it's not a little noise machine either, thankfully.

The size of the bullet and the control pack makes it easy to store, hide or travel with which is a plus in my book. I don't have a lot of space to store regular every day things so toys that can fit in small spaces are great for me.

Clean up is easy. Warm water, soap, rinse, blah blah blah. It's attached to a battery pack so there's no putting it in boiling water or your dishwasher. Well, you can but be prepared to buy another one if you do, lol. ;)

I'm definitely happy with this toy. I've used it several times already and will continue to keep using it. It's still not my perfect bullet but it'll do nicely until I find the one that *really* does it for me. ;)
Happy Tuesday!

Size matters? Not always... ;)

The lovely folks at Eden Fantasys recently sent me something pretty cool. It's not large or weird looking like most things I tend to ask for. I asked for something pretty basic and boring as far as toys go for me. In fact, it's now the smallest toy I own.

It's the
Speeding Bullets Armor Piercing bullet vibrator! Huh? Right... Speeding Bullets is a line of discreet bullet vibes by Evolved Novelties meant to deliver big, intense vibrations from a tiny vibrating bullet. I got the Armor Piercing vibrator from that line for no other reason than I liked the name better than I liked the names of the other Speeding Bullets. I'm just a girl on a mission, trying to find the best inexpensive bullet vibrator based on what I like and want. I have an excellent bullet vibe that I love to pieced but it's an expensive one. So, I'm trying to find one that doesn't cost $60 and that matches or comes close to the performance I get out of my expensive bullet vibe.

Evolved has some pretty wicked stuff and I thought this looked neat. After reading some of the other reviews and then customer comments on other websites, I figured I might as well give this a try.
This little bullet is hard plastic, with a smooth velvety texture with a pointy little head that tapers into a thin shaft in the middle and back out into a larger base. You can use any kind of lube be it water-based, oil or silicone on this little toy. I honestly didn't use any lube at all as it isn't made for insertion. It's meant for external use only.

Size matters? Not always. ;) For visual comparison, I matched it next to a pen cap of a regular sized BIC pen and then just the cap from the pen.


The measurements are:

Length: 2 1/2"
Insertable length: 1 3/4" (Seriously, it is too small to be inside you. ;))
Circumference: 2 1/2"
Diameter: 3/4"
Weight: 0.1 lb


As for functions and features? It claims to be waterproof but I was disappointed to find out it isn't all that good at keeping moisture out. I'll get to that feature fail near the end of the review though.

It is non-porous and phthalates free.

Turning the toy on, cycling through the different functions and turning the toy off is done by a simple push of a button located at the end of the bullet. The only way to turn the toy off or to get to a certain vibration setting is to cycle through them all. The button is enclosed by a squishy plastic material making it easy to press. And no, it doesn't light up. Yes, I was hoping it lit up too. Bummer huh? ;)


Speeding Bullets Armor Piercing bullet has five levels of vibrations.

The first level of vibration is a moderate continuous vibration. The second level is also continuous but just at a stronger level than the first.

The third and fourth levels are pulsating vibrations but they're not exactly the same. The third is like a normal pulsation that pulsates at a nice intensity. The fourth is a pulsation that is rather rapid and doesn't take pause at all. It's like a rapid pulse over and over again with no break.

The fifth level is an interesting one. It has a short pulsation followed by a long pulsation. The short pulsation is intense but then decreases as it flows into the longer pulsation while the longer pulsation starts out slight but then jumps right into an intense pulse. That cycle repeats over and over on that level.

Vibrations carry well through out the entire toy. Though given it's size, they don't really have far to travel. ;) Though no one point feels like it gets more vibration than the other. The vibrations are strong despite the type of battery the toy requires (which I'll get to in a minute) and you can feel the vibrations in a decent span of the toy. The vibrations carry nicely over your skin to about an inch out from where the toy is pressed.

It requires 3 LR44/AG13 batteries to run. You insert/remove the batteries by twisting off the end cap where the push button is located. It's easy to unscrew and changing batteries is easy. Just turn the toy upside down, give it a little tap on the side and they come right out. Batteries are included. One set inside the toy, you just have to unscrew the cap to remove the little piece of plastic placed inside there to keep it from coming on. A second set of batteries is located inside the box the toy comes in. Just lift out the plastic compartment the toy is nestled in and it will have another three pack of batteries under there for you to use when they run out. Got to love something that provides you with not only one but two sets of batteries.

I'll say it before any of you can get to it first. Toys that run on watch batteries aren't usually that strong. I know this so I tend to avoid toys that require LR44/AG13 batteries. They normally just don't pack enough punch for me so I don't even bother. Usually.

I like to keep an open mind about things and sex toys aren't any exception to that. I can generally tell before hand if I'm going to like something or not by looking at it and reading up on the specs/features the toy has to offer. Then I make my educated guess whether I want to give it a go or not. Big flipping deal really. Most of the time, I'm right in my assumptions. Sometimes, I'm pleasantly surprised. I wasn't sure on this bullet mainly due to the fact that it runs off watch batteries but I decided, what the fuck, why not? So, again, I was pleasantly surprised by this toy.

I covered each vibrating function above and I have to say, they're all quite nice and pack a nice punch, especially considering they come out of something so small. I'm happy with the power I get out of this toy based on it's size.

Imagine, I'm laying there on my bed fully of cynical thoughts when I reach down and start teasing the tip of the toy along my vaginal lips. The vibrations travel well over skin. I held the tip at the top of my vaginal opening and could feel the vibrations traveling down my lips entirely, no matter which of the five settings the bullet was on. When I had the tip at the bottom of my lips, my ass could feel the vibrations slightly even though I wasn't touching the backside at all. Then, I'm using it against my clitoris. Pressing directly against it, swirling around it, flicking back and forth and any other combination I could come up with while making sure to try all those combination on each vibration setting. I was moaning and writhing slightly around on the bed from how good it felt.

I don't normally like pulsating vibrations in bullets because they're never strong enough and they're always more annoying than pleasurable for me. I fucking love them in this toy because this bullet offers an intense enough pulsation for me to really enjoy it, especially the last setting. I love love love the last setting. It's an interesting mix and the vibrations are nice and strong.

I also used the toy to tease my nipples which was also wonderful. I used the bullet on/around Boyfriend's nipples too. He prefers biting, licking and sucking and didn't care much about vibrations in that area.

However. I got a very different reaction when I used the bullet on his cock. I rolled it up and down his shaft as well as holding it against his cock. I circled around the base and around the shaft as well as circling his head with it. I did each thing several times since I had to see how he felt about each of the five vibrating functions. ;) He definitely warmed up to the toy during that experimental process. I also used it on his testicles at the point where his cock and testicles meet, against his testicles, underneath them and on
the perineum, testing each of the different vibration settings. Boyfriend was partial to the second vibration and the last vibration. We definitely agreed on how delicious that fifth setting is.

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT insert the toy anally. Don't do it. This toy is super tiny and getting a good grip on it is difficult at times. You don't want to anally lose this toy inside of you or your partner. I know of some people who like to put toys inside condoms, tie them off and then used the tied off end as a good grip on the toy so they can use toys not meant for anal in that area. Still, I wouldn't do it. You can lose your grip, slip, rip it or something and still lose the toy. Imagine telling that story to the ER doctors....

The toy is a bit on the noisy side but given the vibration power you get out of it, it's worth dealing with the noise. Put on some music at a decent level and it helps drown some of the noise out.

My biggest gripe about this tiny champ? I thought it would be the batteries or the noise it makes but nope. There was something else that irked me more. It claims to be waterproof. Well, don't hop into the bathtub, shower, hot tub or anywhere else and expect to play with this in water. The seal on it sucks. No offense or anything but I ran it under water for about 20 seconds while cleaning it and guess what? I unscrew the cap and there are drops of water chilling under there. I dried them off quickly and then screwed the cap back on. I screwed it on as tightly as I possibly could. Ran it under water again for 20 seconds (yes, I counted) and then went to remove the cap again. After some struggling because I had gotten it on there so tightly, I got the cap off and what do you know, more drops of water chilling under there. So, based on that I decided not to take it in the shower since water can get up under the cap giving it the ability to get inside the mechanics of the toy and making it die. Which I don't want to happen and neither would you. ;)

You're not able to 100% sterilize the bullet vibe. A barely noticeable seam up one side of the toy, the seal that doesn't seal well enough to keep out water/moisture 100% and the hard plastic material ruin that. Though it is easy to clean. Just use some warm water and soap or wipe it down with your favorite toy cleaner. If you go the soap and water route, be mindful that the seal around the cap isn't that great so you don't accidentally get a soapy, watery battery compartment.

I didn't notice any weird smell on the toy at all so that was awesome. Funky smells make me wary of wanting to play with a toy, especially if I wash them a few times and they still keep their funk. It also doesn't attract lint or stray hairs which makes storing it damn easy. It doesn't pick up lose debris at all so throwing it inside your purse or backpack without it's package doesn't hurt at all. It's so small, it's perfect for being discreet.

I keep mine stored in the little box that it came in. I also recommend taking the batteries out of the toy while storing, especially if you're going to store it in the original box. I forgot to take mine out and the toy turned itself on and ran the batteries out while in the package box due to the ease of the push button control. Oops! Good thing you get that second set of batteries. ;) I usually remember to take the batteries out of toys between uses to prevent accidentally turning on from being moved or jostled around and also to prevent the batteries from just draining while chilling in their little compartments. Sometimes, I forget to do so since almost all of my favorites don't require batteries. No big deal though. ;)

Thanks again to the awesome people at Eden Fantasys for giving me this toy to try out! It's definitely going to be one I have fun with in the future. In fact, I'll be using it again on the boyfriend to wake him up one day very, very soon. ;)

Bonsai!

The most recent toy the super awesome people at Eden Fantasys sent to me was another one that looks rather odd. Like I've said before, I love trying out the toys that don't look like all of the rest. The unique ones catch my eye. So when I saw the Bonsai Joy by Erotic Embrace, it looked like something I would totally be down to try. Check it out.



Weird looking little thing isn't it?

The Bonsai Joy is made out of Phthalate free Elastomer. It has a similar feel to a jelly toy but it's softer and there isn't any funky smell to it. From what I understand, the material is supposedly safer and all around better than jelly and I would agree that it definitely feels better than jelly. Then again, I'm not a fan of jelly at all but I digress. It's a g-spot vibe that also offers clitoral and perineum stimulation. The toy is 6" in length but you can only insert 3 1/4" of the toy. The shaft is curved and formed mostly of three balls with little ticklers all over them. There is also one little nub on the bottom ball and two little nubs on the second ball for added stimulation. The nubs also have ticklers attached there as well. The shaft is pliable yet also rather firm. The shaft is rather slim for my liking as the center ball is 1 1/4" in diameter and is the largest ball of the three. It's easy to get in though and the unique design of the curved shaft formed of tickler covered balls is definitely nice over your average simple curved toy.

A large bullet attached to a battery powered control pack takes care of the multi-speed vibrations. There are four settings for the vibrations. The first three are continuous vibrations like most toys and range from what I'll call low, medium and high. The fourth setting is a pulsating vibration. The controls are simple. The button to the right turns the toy on or off and the button on the left cycles through your four levels of vibrations. The bullet is also removable and comes out with no problem. It's also easy to put back in.

The battery pack runs off two AA batteries. The battery compartment lid slides down easily but doesn't come off all of the way. You slide down and then flip it up to insert or remove the batteries. I liked that the lid doesn't come off all of the way because you never have to worry about losing it. I also had no problem with it slipping at all during use of the pack so yay.



I always clean my toys when I get them out of the package. I know they've never been used before. In this toy, there was no chemical smell or no smell at all honestly. Still, I clean them before the first use, after every use and sometimes if they've been sitting for a while... yep, I clean them again before using them. No one can ever say my naughty toys are dirty. In a literal sense anyway. ;)

I really love the way the shaft feels. It isn't the biggest and even though it's a g-spot toy, it doesn't really reach the g-spot that well. It reaches enough that the vibrations of the toy provide some stimulation to the g-spot but it's not enough. If the insertable length for half an inch or an inch longer, it would be heaven for your g-spot. The design of the toy is what I like. The top and bottom balls are the same size I believe but the center one is larger. You can really feel the size of the balls as you slide the toy in and out. I got a lot of stimulation from the curve and the ball shapes. It really feels great. The ticklers also provide more added sensation but only slightly for me. The nubs that I mentioned on the center ball and the one nub on the bottom ball weren't noticeable for me. I didn't feel any added sensation from them and only vaguely noticed their presence once inserted.

The base of the toy in the front has more ticklers and that is supposed to be a clitoral stimulator. It didn't reach my clitoris though which was disappointing. That part of the toy is pretty much useless because it doesn't do what it's supposed to do. If your clit is maybe an inch or less from your vagina, you'll have great luck with this. Mine doesn't happen to be that close so I didn't get any stimulation from the front. If it were a bit longer then it would have offered great clitoral stimulation I assume. I could feel the vibrations from it greatly since the base is sitting right on top of the bullet. It would have been nice if it would have been long enough to actually reach my clit. Though, I don't mind much because while I do LOVE clitoral stimulation, I don't need it to get off. It's just like sprinkles on a cupcake for me; not necessary but definitely a nice little extra I'll never complain about.

The base of the toy in the back has a larger size nub. I figured that was probably there to massage the perineum because it's not going much farther than that honestly, lol. If that's not what it's for then I'm going to say it's just for decoration because seriously, even if it could reach something else, it's not big enough to do any kind of good. I could feel the vibrations gently in that area so it did add a small amount of added sensation.

The actual vibrations aren't bad. The low setting is gentle and didn't do much for me. The second vibration setting was a bit stronger and the third vibration setting was fairly nice. It wasn't really strong but a good moderate vibration that got me going really well. The pulsating vibration was only so-so. It was somewhere between the gentle low setting and the second setting for the vibrations. You could feel it but there wasn't a lot of oomph behind it.

My only complaint vibrations wise is that I didn't feel that the top ball (that has the most ticklers on it by the way) of the curved shaft got enough vibration. The base sits on top of the bullet so it was buzzing away nicely. The bottom and middle balls of the curved shaft were fine too but the top ball seemed to be missing out because even on the highest setting, it didn't feel like it was getting enough of the power distributed up to it. With that being the part that was actually toying with my g-spot, I would have liked some of the oomph from the base to make it up to the top. Still, it felt good though. A lot of what I enjoy about that toy is really the shape and curve of the shaft. It's just delicious as it's being worked in and out of you.

I did try to use the shaft of the toy to stimulate my clitoris. It got there fine and the ticklers felt interesting in a very good way against my clit. The lack of power reaching that top ball wasn't a problem when using it on and around my clitoris. That felt awesome.

I also removed the bullet and played with it on it's own. I used to to tease and stimulate my clitoris, nipples and slid it up and down the lips of my vagina. Fun times I say. Since it's removable, y
ou can also use a different bullet in the sleeve if you have one similar in size. That way if you want more powerful vibrations, more tame vibrations, a different combination of things or whatever; you can just remove the one it comes with and use your own.

Noise wise, it isn't too bad. I also have incredibly sensitive hearing. Seriously, don't whisper if you're going to sit next to me because there's about a 90% chance I'm going to hear what you say. I have freakishly good hearing. I digress. It's a little noisy but nothing that can't be handled. If you shut the bedroom door and have on some background noise such as the TV or some music playing at a moderate level, you can faintly hear the noise of the bullet mixed in with the background noise. That's if you're standing right outside the door. Standing about two feet away from the closed door, I didn't hear anything but the music I had on.

Cleaning the toy is easy. The bullet comes out quite easily so you don't have to worry about getting the large bullet or the cord wet. The end of the toy is left open though, leaving the bottom of the bullet and the cord exposed. That part of the toy doesn't come in contact with the body though. Inside the shaft, there is a tube that prevents the shaft from being floppy. The tube can come out but it is extremely difficult to get the tube out and equally as difficult getting it back in since it wasn't made to come out, lol. I don't think it's very likely you're going to need to clean the inside of the toy since you shouldn't be able to get much, if anything, in there. If you do, luckily the insides don't come in direct contact with flesh. I get extremely wet during play and sex and I didn't have a problem. I was also careful in cleaning not to get any soap and water up in the shaft area. Getting that tube out and back in twice was so not something I wanted to do, lol. You could always use a condom over the toy as well. The only downfall to that is you don't get the soft feeling of the elastomer and the condom also keeps you from feeling the ticklers that are all over the shaft. If you're going to share the toy, using the condom would be good anyway since you can't totally sanitize the toy.

You can use this toy anally but I haven't done that. Yet. I will and my follow up commentary talking about my anal experience will be added on Eden Fantasys. So you'll have to check there in a week or so and see what I think about this toy when used for anal. I also need to use it with my boyfriend and see what he has to say about it. I love throwing in the male perspective on these things. Though he did help with something in the review. You'll notice in some of the pictures there is a large hand holding the toy in a few of the shots. I had my boyfriend hold it while I took pictures. He's such a good sport. ;)

I do like this toy though and I've used it several times now. I think if the shaft were slightly longer, if the top ball got all the vibrations the base does and if the clitoral stimulator could actually reach my clit.... then I would love this toy. Just a little fine tuning is all it needs and it would rock my fucking socks off.

Gonna take you for a ride...

I love when I come home and see a box from the awesome people at Eden Fantasys waiting for me. I know something fun is waiting for me inside that box and I open it as soon as I get back into the bedroom. I opened my most recent box and found Couples Vacation Pleasure Kit staring up at me.

The kit includes a multi-speed vibrator, a multi-speed egg with remote control, duo weighted vaginal balls, two stretchy silicone cock rings and a pretty matching pink velvet storage bag to hold each of the toys. I pulled everything out and gave it my usual once over. The vibrator is a hard plastic coated with TPR Silicone which gives it a delicious smooth feeling. Just rolling it around in my hands felt lovely. I cleaned everything and then got set up in the bedroom to play. I checked the toys out and found that the remote control for the bullet runs on AA's. No problem, I have PLENTY of AA batteries in the nightstand.
The vibe on the other hand runs on 2 C batteries. I had to run to the store and buy batteries for it since I don't keep C's on hand for anything. Then back home, loaded the batters and then I got out my favorite water based lube and got down to business.


The vibrator is a nice size at 8" in length, 1 1/4" in diameter and 4 1/4" in circumference with a long smooth shaft that ends in a pointed tip. It's hard and not pliable at all. You control the speed of the vibrations with the dial base. I put some lube on the toy and myself and slowly worked it into my pussy. I didn't turn it on yet, just used the toy to get my pussy opened up. At first, the pointed tip annoyed me a little bit. It felt a little too pointy and was a little uncomfortable for the first couple minutes. I'm not sure how but after a few more minutes of use, the point stopped being uncomfortable and started feeling quite nice. I twisted the dial base to start the vibrations and left it on a lower setting. The toy was quiet and the low vibrations felt nice. I like a strong vibration so I turned it about halfway and played for a couple minutes. Still rather quiet and the vibrations felt very nice and evenly distributed through the whole toy. I turned it up to full speed and wow, it felt fabulous. Nice strong vibrations and still not that noisy. It was a little loud but pulling the blanket on the bed over my lap muffled the noise enough that I could barely hear it. I turned on the TV at a low volume and then I couldn't hear it any more at all. Though I could definitely still feel it. ;)

The egg is also plastic coated with TPR Silicone. It's 2 1/2" in length and is connected to a multi-speed control pack by a pretty lengthy cord. It has 4 speeds and you control the speeds by the two arrow buttons on the control pack. Each level lights up with a red light. The egg is quite smooth and I decided to pull the vibe out and tried the bullet on it's own. I inserted the bullet to where it would vibrate against my clit and then clicked on the first speed setting. It was a nice gentle vibration that felt very good. At this point, my boyfriend finally came into the bedroom to see what I was up to. He grinned and I handed him the bullet remote. He cycled up to the second speed as soon as he had it in his hand. A little stronger, I would rate it as a 4 on a vibration scale of 1 to 10. He watched me squirm for a minute before switching it to the third setting. Holy fuck, those were good vibrations. Those were the perfect vibrations for me. I almost couldn't take them but they were just on that edge of amazing and too much. He switched up to the fourth and final setting and those were intense. I couldn't handle them directly on my clit or even around my clit honestly. It was too much power for me. We switched back down to the third setting and I relaxed back down from the intensity of the last setting. The egg is insanely quiet, even on the fourth and highest setting. You don't need any background noise to muffle the sound, it's quiet enough on its own.


The two silicone cock rings are 3/4" in diameter and the product description says they stretch to fit 1 1/2". The description also boasts about them being super stretchy and having the ability to accommodate most sizes. Both rings have a unique
textured surface. The one to the left is a spiked/tentacle like texture. The one on the right has the four little knob like features.


I will agree that they are definitely both super stretchy. However, I can't attest to how well they work. I checked the size of the cock rings and thought they would fit. We have several and one of them is a similar size to the two in this kit. The cock ring with the spikes was the one I was more interested in trying. Sadly, my boyfriend couldn't fit that one or the other one. Both were too tight for him and caused him massive discomfort and were removed immediately once they became painful. They do look like fun and they are stretchy. We got the rings on his cock and he was able to get an erection, just couldn't leave them on because once he was hard, he was in pain. We also couldn't get his balls in them at all so this discomfort was just from being around his cock. I won't give out numbers but trust me when I say he has a bigger girth than the average male does. I'm pretty sure these would work well for most guys. I'm a little sad we couldn't have fun with them though.

The weighted duo balls are 4 ¼" around and have a retrieval cord. I wasn't sure how sturdy the retrieval cord was even though the packaging talked it up. I pulled and jerked the cord around and it seemed more sturdy than I had thought.

I've been curious about balls like these but have yet to try them. They can be used to exercising your pelvic muscles or for fun times. Kegel exercises while getting pleasure? I was skeptical. I lubed up and carefully inserted the balls into my pussy. I found it was much easier to get them in standing up versus sitting or laying down. I'll admit, the first thing I did after I got them in was to squeeze
my PC muscles and then jump up and down, lol. As I jumped up and down, I felt the weights in the balls roll around. It felt pretty good too. I was amazed at the unique feeling, at first. I walked back and forth, did some jumping jacks, did the electric slide, tried a few yoga poses and did a few ballerina style twirls. With every move I made, the weights in the balls rolled around causing gentle vibrations. I left them in for about thirty minutes. I felt uncomfortable sitting down with them inserted. Laying down wasn't uncomfortable though.



I also used the duo balls during play. The product description said you could use the balls vaginally or anally. I do enjoy anal play but I wasn't honestly interested in inserting these balls up my butt. I inserted the balls into my pussy and laid down on the bed. We out the bullet against my clit while having the balls inserted. I squeezed and worked my PC muscles as the bullet vibed around my clit. The gentle vibrations from the duo balls paired with the buzzing of the bullet felt wonderful. As I was getting close to climaxing, my boyfriend gently removed the balls out of my vagina. The first slid out as I reached climax and the second slid out as I was in mid-climax. It was a great, great orgasm.

We inserted the egg into my pussy and cycled through the settings again. I could handle the fourth setting inside my pussy and didn't find it near as intense there. Though it was still a very pleasant feeling.

We also used the egg anally. I could handle all levels of vibration there too and it felt nice. The bullet is big enough that it feels snug in the anus but it's not big enough to be any kind of uncomfortable at all.

We also placed the bullet under Boyfriend's testicles while I played with his cock. He enjoyed the sensations of his testicles vibrating while my hands and mouth worked over his cock.

We went through several toy combinations as well. The egg in my ass, the vibrator teasing my clit, the duo balls inside my pussy. I didn't like using the vibrator teasing my clit because of the pointed tip. It just didn't feel good there.

The egg teasing my clit, the vibrator in my pussy; my boyfriend in control of the strength of the vibrations and the thrusting of the vibrator. I love that because I have no control over the speed, the intensity or anything really. Of course, I trust my boyfriend not to do anything to cause me pain which is why I relinquish control to him. The vibrator at it's highest level of vibration and the egg teasing my clit was insanely delicious. I came in a little less than two minutes.

The egg in my ass, the vibrator filling my pussy. Double penetration is one of my biggest fantasies. The small size of the bullet and the fact that it just sits there and doesn't thrust doesn't quite match the fantasy BUT having both holes filled and vibrating was intense. In a very good way.

The vibrator in my ass, the balls in my pussy and the egg alternating between teasing against my clit and buzzing against my hard nipples. I didn't like the vibrator in my ass. I decided to try it anyway but I don't like having hard non-pliable toys in my ass. I prefer something with more bend.

IF you do try to use the vibrator anally, do it carefully. There is no flared base so it could easily end up going too far up and that's not a place you want to lose something. Make sure to keep a good grip on the base of the toy.

The only place I really enjoyed the vibrator was in my pussy. I did enjoy using it on my boyfriend to tease him and massage sensitive areas. It did feel good teasing the tip along my outer lips and against my nipples as well.

My favorite thing in this kit by far was the remote control bullet. I love how quiet it is and I love the vibrations. I can use it to tease, tantalize, arouse and give pleasure to myself and my boyfriend in a wide variety of ways. We've also used it during sex. He can feel me vibrating as he thrusts inside of me and has fun teasing me by changing the level of vibrations whenever he feels like it.

Everything in the kit is waterproof which is helpful for cleaning. The vibrator can be taken into the shower for shower time fun or into the hot tub to make things more interesting. The egg is waterproof but the power pack is not so be mindful of that when cleaning. I used warm water and soap cleaning the toys thoroughly and then dried them off with a soft cloth.

The velvety pouch fits all the items snugly inside and closes by drawstrings. Makes it very convenient for travel. It also helps for discreetly storing the toys at home. If you have a small container of lube (2.5 ounces or smaller) it will also fit in the bag with all of the toys.

After using the duo weighted balls every day for just over a week, we both noticed a slight difference. I will keep on using them and if my muscles continue to improve, I've update the review with a follow up on Eden Fantasys on my partner profile.

The only bummer was the cock rings not working out but that's not at any fault of the rings themselves. The vibrator had great vibrations and is only slightly loud at it's maximum setting. The egg has wonderful vibrations and is super quiet. The duo weighted balls are interesting and I'll have fun with them. Now I have a basis to go on when I look for new ones. Based on these simple ones, I definitely want to get a better set of weighted balls to play and exercise with.

We had fun with this kit and will definitely be having fun with it more in the future. It's also rather inexpensive considering everything you get in it. Great for beginners or people who just want to have some fun together. The battery operated toys are also fun as hell for solo use as well. ;)

Hot pink pixie dust..

You know, there are a few things that will nicely perk up a normal boring Monday morning. One of those things is to open your front door to find someone delivering you a package and then opening the package to find a new sex toy inside. One just for you, waiting for you to release it from it's packaging and take it for it's first of hopefully many test rides.

Me personally, I'm not a morning person. I've worked since I was a young teenager and my jobs have always had me getting off work late at night. So for someone who is used to getting off work anywhere between midnight and three am combined with the fact that I'm a night owl by habit and lifestyle... I'm just not a big morning person. When I received the King of Victory vibrator early Monday morning courtesy of the awesome people at EdenFantasys, my mood improved considerably. Of course, it also caused me to delay my tasks for the morning but oh well. Some things in life can just be put on hold to have some fun. ;)

The King of Victory came packaged very nicely. It was in a lovely black box and even came with the 2AAA batteries needed to operate it. I've never even heard of this particular company but they definitely get points for the sleek and classy presentation. I hate tacky packaging.

I was also a little impressed with the fact that it came with an actual instruction booklet. Not that I really needed one but I liked seeing it. I was also impressed with the fact that the little booklet was in English and then 7 other languages. That was pretty cool. The instruction booklet also offers an e-mail address to email the company for any questions, comments, suggestions, etc.

The toy comes with three interchangeable attachments. One is smooth, one is spiky and of course, the third is the cute looking crown. All three attachments are made of silicone. The end is also mostly silicone. The body of the toy is a hard plastic with a silicone coating to give it that smooth, soft feel that I love in silicone toys. You get the firm non pliable hardness of the plastic but instead of the cold, slick plastic feeling you get soft and smooth silicone. I liked that. My biggest issue with hard plastic toys is I hate how fake they feel. I don't like that slick feeling plastic toys get. I know I'm not getting "the real thing" when I'm using a vibrator but I don't want to feel like I'm shoving plastic in and out of my pussy either.




At the end of the toy, there is a little sunk in part and that is where you turn the toy on or off. Click, the toy is on. Another click, it's back off. Easy one push power. Now, it says it is a multi-speed toy but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how in the hell to change the speed. I tried every way I could think of and nothing. I sent an e-mail off to find out about that and I'll update the review when I get a response back about that. Something I like about the end, that sunk in notch is convenient for getting a good grip on the toy. Hold your thumb in there and voila, makes holding on a bit easier and gives better angle control.


I found for me personally, this was the best way to hold on and keep a good grip while using the toy. It helped give me the most control over the toy more so than any other angle I tried to grip it at. This toy id easy to hold on to and fits easily and comfortably in the hand. It's not too big, not too wide but not delicate and small either. It's easy to get a good hold on it. I did have an issue with the end silicone piece. It popped off while I was using it and I had to quickly grab the end of the toy and remove it to snap the silicone piece back into place. I pressed it very firmly in and then fussed with it a bit after that but didn't have an issue after that one time.


The King has a slight curve toward the head of the toy which allows for super easy g-spot stimulation. The vibrations are felt throughout the entire toy. It only has the one speed and that was a little bit of a bummer. Unless there is some magic way to make the multi-speeds come to life that I couldn't figure out, lol. Though I'm almost certain that was probably a misprint or something. Again, I'll let you know as soon as the company responds to my email. As far as the vibrations, while they do radiate through the whole toy, I would have liked a stronger vibration. It was a bit lacking for my preference but still, not bad. Just a little on the weak side for me personally.


The smooth head was my favorite. I used it for clitoral stimulation and it felt quite nice pressed against and working around the clit. For penetration it was nice as well. Rocking the toy back and forth inside my pussy was great. The curve towards the head plus the vibrations made for a very good time against my g-spot. Though I do wish the vibes would have been a little stronger or having multiple settings to switch through would have been nice.

The crown head felt good for clitoral stimulation. You can feel enough of the vibration in the crown and the tips of the crown feel very nice. For actual penetration, it was just annoying. I didn't like using it inside me at all and wouldn't use it for penetration again.

The spiked head wasn't pleasurable at all for me. It was actually a little painful at first. I don't normally mind a little bit of pain but honestly, there wasn't any pleasure at all in that head for me. It was a little painful at first and then just extremely annoying no matter where I used it at. The spikes are a bit too abrasive for my liking. Which was disappointing because I was hoping that one would be more fun. Maybe if the spikes were softer or something.

The attachments were a little of a pain in the ass to get off at first but after rotating through them a few times, they were a little easier to remove with a few firm tugs. Getting them on was easy from the get go. They go on much easier than they come off but that's a good thing in my opinion. If they came off extremely easy, I'd be a bit wary about using it for fear that they would come off inside of me.


The packaging said it could be used for anal play and I did think about using it in that manner. It's 5 1/4" insertable length, 4" circumference and 1 1/4" in diameter so the size wasn't intimidating
but after thinking on it, I did not try this toy for anal play. I'll be honest, I was a bit worried about the heads coming off. They didn't slip one bit inside me but it was just something I was worried about and didn't want to chance. Call it an irrational fear perhaps but I'm not comfortable using a toy with small interchangeable heads for anal pleasure. Definitely not something I want to go to the ER for, lol. Also, even though I didn't have any trouble out of the end silicone piece popping off after the first time, I didn't want to chance that it would happen during anal play. A tighter space with more pressure being applied and meh, it could have happened and that wouldn't have been pleasant. Call me paranoid but I definitely didn't want to risk the toy taking a rectal vacation, lol.

I also found the toy to be a little on the noisy side. This short video was taken while I was using the toy. This is the sounds of it while I had the toy inside me. Given the noise it made, I was expecting stronger vibrations than what it had to offer.



I like silicone because it's nonporous and super easy to clean but the seams of this toy make it a little difficult to fully clean and sterilize. The attachment heads were the easiest parts to clean since they're solely silicone.

All in all, I don't think I'll use it much honestly. I really would have liked if it had the multiple speeds it advertised having. The smooth head attachment is the only one I completely enjoyed in every way I used it. The crown one was fun for clitoral stimulation and for teasing my nipples but wasn't fun for penetration.

I did like using it just for the sole use of teasing my clitoral area. While it does nice at hitting the g-spot and the vibes aren't bad, just not as strong as I would like.

The noise also turns me off a bit. I don't expect to not hear any kind of noise at all but I like something a little more quiet. I don't live alone and don't want people walking by and wondering if I've got a mini power tool in there with me. I also don't want it to be so loud that I'm distracted by the noise in any way.

I don't think it's a shitty toy though. The silicone feels wonderful and I think the toy is good quality. I would definitely be willing to get another toy from this company and try it to see if I have a better experience. I even browsed their products and saw a few I wanted to try. I can think of a number of people I think would greatly enjoy this toy and I wouldn't warn people off from buying it but for me, I wasn't doing any victory dances after using it.

Thanks to the awesome people at EdenFantasys for letting me put the King to the test. =o)

Happy Thursday! ;)

Looking at you through the glass...

I’ve never used a glass sex toy before. They’ve intrigued me from the moment I first saw a glass dildo with pretty red spirals across the shaft in a sex shop a couple years ago. The only thing stopping me was spending the money and then being too afraid to use it. I read any and all information I could stumble upon. I even talked to people in the stores when I went in for other things. I received all kinds of information that should have assured me I’d be fine and that shards of glass weren’t going to break off into my vagina. I was still freaked out about it though so there for put off purchasing one despite badly wanting to try one out. Then sex toy reviewers started popping up with glass toy reviews. I e-mailed a few people personally with questions and they happily filled me in with more details that should have assured me even more. More companies were coming out with glass toys and there was more information about them and the durability and strength of Pyrex glass. I read about how Pyrex is more resistant to physical or thermal shock and unless I’m going to throw it around, I’m probably not going to break it. I, however, was still apprehensive about sliding glass inside of such a tender area. Mainly, I didn’t want one breaking inside me and having to go to an emergency room with glass stuck in my pussy. I do not get embarrassed easily at all but something tells me that scenario might embarrass me just a wee bit.

I put Savanna’s spiral wrapped G-spot wonder down as a sex toy I was interested in doing a review on for EdenFantasys as an after thought. I had browsed through their selection of glass toys and that one was one of the least expensive ones that appealed to me. The curve for G-spot stimulation and the baby blue and white spiral wrapping around the toy caught my eye and I decided, “Why not?” Time to get over the hang up about the toy breaking. It wasn’t very likely and I could be missing out on something. What a shame that would be eh? ;)





My boyfriend sent me a text to let me know the toy arrived while I was at work and I spent the rest of my shift going between excited and nervous about the new toy I had waiting for me at home. By the time I got home though, I was ready to have some fun with it.

I got the dildo out and did my usual examination. I looked at it from every angle and then took pictures from different angles. I was checking out the size of the shaft, the head and the double ball end (7” in length, 3 ¾” in circumference and 1 ½” wide) and ended up almost dropping it. Thanks to my Ninja-like quick reflexes, I was able to grab it without it falling to the ground. I really wasn’t ready to test out the strength of the Pyrex glass that soon. The glass felt nice and cool and I felt a little apprehension as I got the lube out and got ready to give it a whirl.

Since glass is nonporous, you don’t need to use all that much lube with the toy. A little bit goes a long way here. I only use a small amount to lube the dildo up and then I took a deep breath and rubbed the head against the outer lips of my vagina. It felt cool and slick (from the lube) but it felt good. Very different than any feeling I’ve had from rubbing other sex toys against myself. Some of that apprehension slid away as I wondered how it would feel inside me. I pushed gently to part my lips and slid the glass head inside me slowly, enjoying the smooth surface against my skin. I slid just the head of the dildo in and out for a couple minutes, just enjoying the sensations.




I slid it in further and felt the spiral wrapping texture as it moved inside me. I really enjoyed the texture and it was really easy to actually feel the spirals. Any apprehension I was still holding on to melted away as I slid the toy in fully. I held still a moment, letting it fill me and trying to decide whether I liked the way it felt or not. It was different and a little odd, probably because it was new to me. I worked the toy in and out of my pussy several times before deciding though a little odd feeling, it was also good. Very good. The toy is curved for G-spot stimulation and it did a nice job of reaching that sweet spot nicely. I angled it so the spiral wrapping would touch my clit as I fucked myself with the dildo and was totally happy about the sensations that brought about.

The double ball end of the toy makes it easy to keep a good grip on the toy while you’re using it and also makes it easy to stay in control of the toy. The end isn’t much larger than the rest of the toy so it isn’t like a lot of toys that have big bulky ends to hold on to. It isn’t so small that it keeps slipping out of your hands either. I did accidentally get lube on the end at first and didn’t (some how) notice it until I was having trouble keeping a good grip on the toy. I cleaned off the end and didn’t have any trouble after that, lol.

A day later, I was curious about using the toy at a different temperature. I like the sensations that come with temperature play and decided to seek out some advice on the best way to heat and cool down the glass dildo. Though given that it’s been so damn hot lately (it stayed between 112 and 114 yesterday for way too long) I was way more interested in getting the dildo cold and having some fun. To cool it down, I set it in some cool water and then added some ice cubes. I let the toy sit in the ice water for about 25 minutes (I started playing video games and lost track of time, yes I’m a nerd) and then retrieved it. It was nicely chilled and I was eager to play with my freshly cooled friend. I pressed it against my hot skin and felt chills break out automatically. I started thinking naughty thoughts and pushed the slightly lubed toy inside my pussy. The chill I felt from the glass being cold sent shivers down my thighs but damn it felt wonderful. Sitting there hot from the summer heat and then sliding something cold that gives so much pleasure into such an extremely warm area is amazing. And the glass toy feels about a hundred times better than a sticky Popsicle. Also, it’s not as messy as said Popsicle because it stays cool and doesn’t start melting syrup all over you and/or your partner. ;)

I haven’t tried heating it up yet and don’t see me doing that anytime soon unless I’m some how stricken to do so. It’s so hot here in the summer though so I’m more often looking for ways to cool down. I’m all for cooling down and having more fun in the process. ;)

A couple days later, I got curious about something else. No, not anal play. I haven’t worked myself up to that yet. It took me a couple years to get one to put in my pussy, it might take some more time still to convince me it’ll be okay to use anally, lol. Or maybe I just need to privacy with the boyfriend to use it. Or.. Who knows? ;) Anyway, what I was referring to was something else. I don’t know about anyone else but I really, really enjoying being tit fucked. So, I got my boyfriend alone and asked him if he wanted to tit fuck me with the toy. Not because the idea of it really got my undies soaked but more because I was curious about how it would feel. It was interesting. Not near as fun as having a warm cock sliding between ones tits but still, not bad. The raised wrapping made for an interesting sensation there as well. I don’t think I’ll do that again but like I said, that was more for curiosity sake more than anything.

Being glass and nonporous makes it insanely easy to clean. No batteries to mess with. No high maintenance materials. Warm water with some soap and some gentle scrubbing and I had it all nice and clean. It also comes with a nice storage pouch that has some lace trim around it with a pull cord to keep the bag closed.

So what did I dislike about the dildo?

Nothing honestly.

It’s pretty. The design is simple and the blue and white raised spiral wrapping makes it more aesthetically appealing.

I love the G-spot stimulation from the curved shaft.

I really love the clitoral stimulation the spiral wrapping offers.

I think it’s a good size. It wasn’t more than I could handle but didn’t leave me wanting more either.

I have no complaints about it. I always like to try and find something about the toys I review that I don’t like so I can point it out but seriously, I found nothing that personally turned me off about the toy. Maybe I just need to use it more to find something that rubs me the wrong way about it though. No pun intended. ;)

Thanks so much to Eden Fantasys for letting me try out this toy!
