It’s Panda, Miss Dementia If You’re Nasty

The last sex toy I received for review from EdenFantasys, the White Heat Double Delights Vibrator, was a bit of a dud for me, so I was very happy when I received the Violet Ripple Butt Plug from them this time. I’ve wanted to try out a glass butt plug for a while now, and the Violet Ripple seemed like the perfect one to start with.

As you can see, it’s beautiful – the smooth lines, the gentle curves… of course, it being purple (my favorite color) doesn’t hurt, either – but this anal toy is completely functional, too. Made of Pyrex glass, this plug is hypo-allergenic, completely non-porous, completely latex and phthalate-free, and extremely easy to clean.

I think the above picture, which is featured on EdenFantasys’ site, doesn’t give one a good idea of this plug’s size. It is 3 3/4″ in insertable length and 1 1/2″ in diameter at the widest point. Although it is tapered quite nicely, the insertion of the rigid 1 1/2″ was a stretch (pun maybe intended?) for me, so I wouldn’t recommend this for beginners, but it is a great size for people who already have some butt plug experience.

The best thing about this plug for me was that even though the diameter took a bit to get used to, the dramatic flare from that diameter to the neck (which is only 3/4″), plus the rigidity of the plug, kept the plug in place at all times – even during my explosive orgasms. With all the other plugs I’ve tried, they have slipped (or in some cases, even SHOT) out at one point or another, but the Violet Ripple stayed firm and strong.

Another nice thing about the plug is the base, which is large enough to keep the plug from slipping inside, but small enough that you don’t feel like you’re trying to smuggle a football between your cheeks (though some people may like that kind of thing). It also makes it comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time, while sitting or while up & walking around.

The Violet Ripple comes in it’s own velvet-esque bag (pictured above), though strangely, nothing else, other than some bubble wrap. I was very surprised when I opened my package from EF & found no plastic packaging, just the bag with the bubble wrapped plug inside. I don’t know if it’s a good thing (yay, a more green way of packaging!) or a bad thing (boo, it could have been more easily damaged!), but take it how you will.

Despite the surprising lack of packaging, I love this plug, I would highly recommend it to anyone over the beginner level, and I’m happy to give it 5 out of 5 Happy Bamboos!

How cool does this look?

A double ended vibrator that twists 90 degrees for different variations of fun? Seriously cool, right?!

Well, the Climax Twist Vibrator performs just about as brilliantly as it looks.

This cute, purple (yes, I know, ANOTHER purple toy!) double vibrator is 12.5 inches long from tip to tip and 1.5 inches wide (enough to give you a deliciously full feeling when inserted). It has a fairly strong motor in both ends, each with 7 speed settings and independent controls. One tip of the toy is rounded, a la the Hitachi, the other is angled to be used for G-spot stimulation.

The  motors certainly don’t compare to the motor of a Hitachi or a Wahl, but they are stronger than most vibrator motors and were certainly enough to get me off, though not as quickly as the previously mentioned toys do.

The toy can either be used straight, which works well for clit-only stimulation when you’re playing on your own, or it can be twisted into a 90 degree angle, which gives you a great handle for G-spot-only stimulation when you’re playing on your own. When you’re with a partner, either position works well.

Did I mention that it’s cordless and rechargeable? Well, it is! An AC adapter comes with the toy and it’s very simple to plug in. The description of the toy on Adam & Eve’s website says that a single charge lasts roughly 30 to 35 minutes on the highest setting, and the instructions in the toy’s box tells  you to charge the toy before using it for the first time. However, it came already charged, I didn’t charge it before I used it the first time, I’ve used it 3 different times for a total of about 45 minutes of play and it STILL hasn’t died on me.

When I first saw this toy on Adam & Eve’s website, I was SO excited that I’d be able to have G-spot stimulation and clit stimulation AT THE SAME TIME with only ONE TOY when I was masturbating. Therein lies the ONLY problem I found with the Climax Twist: the toy is actually TOO long and when you insert the G-spot end of it, the rounded tip comes NO WHERE NEAR your clit.

Now I suppose if you had a REALLY deep G-spot, the Climax Twist would work as a simultaneous vibrator, but I believe for the normal woman, this toy fails at doing that.

What would make the toy better? Instead of having a twisting center, have a center made like a bendy straw. You know how you can bend & move & reposition a bendy straw? Yeah, like that. That way, you can have the G-spot vibrator in place and position the clit vibrator in whatever way works best for you. (Don’t worry, Adam & Eve, I only expect a small royalty when you start manufacturing the AWESOME dual vibrators based on my idea.)

As far as a powerful vibrator that can be used with a “friend” or on your G-spot and clit separately, the Climax Twist Vibrator(sold for $79.95)  succeeds marvelously.

And now it’s time for the breakdown:

PROS: Double ends gives you 2 options of pleasure, strong motor in each end, 7 different settings for each motor so you can find what works best for you, perfect width & length if you like to feel filled up, cordless, rechargeable, long battery life.

CONS: Cannot be used simultaneously on G-spot and clit, a little more pricey than other vibrators.

All in all, I was very satisfied with this toy, so I give it 4.5 out of 5 Happy Bamboos!

I wrote a “review” last month of Adam & Eve’s Sexy Cherries Duotone Ball in which I stated that my body had rejected this toy. I got bad cramps after inserting it and wearing it for about 15 minutes (I tried two different times) and was unable to wear it for any longer.

My contact over at Adam & Eve was nice enough to express her regret that I had been caused pain and offered to send me regular Ben Wa Balls to see if they would work any better. I happily accepted, thinking that the molded form of the Duotone balls was the reason for the bad reaction with my body and that regular Ben Wa Balls wouldn’t have the same effect.

I was very happy when I opened up my package from Adam & Eve and I saw the Blue Blossom Ben Wa Balls. The little black velvet storage case (with a bow!) was so adorable and the balls themselves were beautifully crafted with gorgeous blue flowers inside of the clear, glass balls.

The balls themselves are small, about half and inch in diameter (sorry, I can’t find my ruler, so I’m totally guesstimating, and I’m horrible at estimating measurements so I’m probably COMPLETELY off).

There were no instructions included in the packaging of the balls and I was nervous about how I’d be able to get them out, so I had to do a little Google search to set my mind at ease. After the internets assured me that I’d be able to retrieve the balls and that they wouldn’t get lost in me, I popped the small, smooth balls in.

And…. *drumroll please*

5 minutes later, I started getting the cramps again, accompanied by a severe headache a few minutes later. I attempted to remove them and the first ball popped out easily, but the second took a while to work out of me.

I have no idea why my body is ok with dildos and vibrators but totally freaks out about Ben Wa Balls and I HATE IT for that, but, unfortunately, that means I won’t be trying any others in the future. *sigh*

Just as with the Duotone Balls, I won’t assign a Happy Bamboo Rating to this product since I wasn’t able to review it properly, but at $19.95, these Ben Wa Balls would make a great, artistic addition to the toy collections of those women who, unlike me, don’t have bodies that reject them.

I’ll be bringing over all of my stories and posts from my Blogspot account, but for now, enjoy my latest story, “His Show”!

He rushed into his media room and turned on the monitor.  If he was lucky, he wouldn’t have missed anything.  “Damn traffic,” he thought.  “Why was it so damn heavy at 8 o’clock in the evening?”  He loathed missing even a second of his nightly show.

As the screen flickered on, though, he saw that he was just in time.  She was just walking into the bathroom.  He was hoping this wouldn’t be just a shower night, but with his powerful pinhole cameras, he could see the tension and stress on her beautiful face and he knew it was bath time.

He sat back in his plush but firm leather chair and watched intently as she slowly stripped out of her skirt and blouse, dropping them haphazardly on the floor.  He used his remote control to zoom in for a better look as she pulled off her panties and freed her bountiful breasts from their restraints.

She moved her petite frame around the large bathroom, turning on the hot water in the tub, setting up her stereo with one of her favorite bath time CDs (he couldn’t tell which yet but was pretty sure it was either Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz or Matt Nathanson) and lighting candles.  Her breast swayed deliciously in time with her hips and he found himself growing rigid already.

She bent over the tub to pour some bath salts in, giving camera #1, positioned in the wall opposite the tub, a perfect shot of her firm ass and her thick pussy lips.  Camera #2, set at a downward angle in the wall above the shower nozzle, caught the bouncing of her breasts as she leaned over.  He licked his lips and opened his fly, exposing his hard cock to the cool air.

When the tub was full, she turned off the water, pressed play on the stereo (it was Matt Nathanson after all), turned off the lights and stepped into the candle-lit bath.  She sank down into the steamy water and he could see the stress melt away from her face as the water enveloped her, leaving only her head and the tips of her tits exposed to the air.

For about 20 minutes she was still and he thought she may have fallen asleep.  He took the opportunity to look her over, this woman that he’d seen so many times in the past few months.  Every time, though, he was amazed at how beautiful, how sensual she was.  Her thick auburn hair was now piled on top of her head, her luscious lips were slightly parted as she breathed deeply, her curvy yet slender body the perfect shade of healthy bronze.  He gently stroked himself as he took every inch of her in.

Though she seemed completely relaxed, he knew from experience that her baths weren’t complete without one final release of tension.  She proved him correct as her hands started to roam, fingernails tracing patterns on her skin.  Over the rhythmic music, he could hear her start to moan as one hand pinched her nipples and the other ventured between her legs.

It wasn’t long before her hand left her sweet spot and reached to the basket next to the tub.  Without looking, she picked up what she was looking for: an oddly shaped, pink vibrator.  He noticed that this one seemed to be her new favorite toy, ever since she had gotten her new order a few weeks ago.

She draped one leg over the side of the tub and brought the vibrator down between her thighs.  Zooming in camera #2, he could see that the she was using the nub of the vibrator to trace along her pussy, from her clit down to her ass and back up.  Circling the nub around her clit, her moans became louder and he stroked himself faster.

She then flipped the vibrator over and cradled her clit in the cupped side.  Her fingers pulled at her nipples as she held the powerfully vibrating tool to her clit.  His hips bucked in time with hers as they both got closer and closer to climax.  Her scream of ecstasy erupted just as his seed did.  They both collapsed, her against the coolness of the tub, him against the coolness of the leather chair, and waited for their breathing to slow down.

He started to clean himself up, eyes still glued on the screen, and she placed the vibrator back in the basket, pulled the plug on the tub and stood up, wrapping a towel around herself.  A small smile played on her lips as she stepped out of the tub, turned on the lights, turned off the stereo and blew out the candles.  She began to leave the bathroom but paused and turned around.  Looking straight at the camera, straight through to him, she said, “Good night,” and walked out of the bathroom.
