Mia: by Lelo

In addition to being made by Lelo and therefore being sleek, elegant, and gorgeous simply by design, Mia is also the first sex toy of her kind, a high-end rechargeable sex toy that is powered by your computer alone! You heard me. Mia charges via USB port and dubbed by Lelo to be “a lipstick vibrator for the iPod generation.” If the sheer geek factor of that alone doesn’t already have you desiring one, let me tell you a little more about her.

Mia, much like her big sister Nea, is small and discreet and made of PC-ABS (Polycarbonate-Acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene blend) which is a phthalate-free thermoplastic and completely safe to use.

She looks like a slightly oversized tube of lipstick or a round slightly long thumb-drive, so having her out in public or someone else coming upon her in your handbag wouldn’t be a problem. She is just barely over four inches long and not meant for insertion, though a couple inches of her could be if desired.

The vibrations course through the entirety of her, so both ends can be used for stimulation. One end tapers into a rounded point for small accurate pressure; the other side, the lid, is sloped flat and wide for a greater surface of vibration. Both ends are fantastic for clitoral (or perineum) stimulation.

Like all Lelo vibes, Mia has multiple speeds and pulsation modes, all accessed by the + / - controls on her. Simply press the plus and on she turns, revving up to a nice strong vibration that always gets me off quickly. Once she is turned on to her highest pressing the plus again will cycle through her other modes of vibration, three pulses of varying speeds, then the minus button to get back to continuous vibration. She can also be locked by pressing the plus and minus together until the LED light comes on and stays on, handy so her charge doesn’t run out while bouncing around in a bag.

She comes with an elegant black storage box, a satin bag to carry her around in should you so desire, a manual, a 1-year warranty (comes standard with all Lelo toys), and an extension USB cord. I’ve also found she works with a wall-charger I have for my iPod, as the iPod charger uses a USB connection from the iPod to the charger, which can easily be substituted by the Mia.

Another perk of being able to charge her via USB is that, unless you are unable to access a computer (and in this day and age that is difficult to do), you will never not be able to charge her. Rechargeable toys are wonderful, but they also mean more cords to keep track of, and with Mia all you need is a computer. Any computer.

In addition to the geek factor, her elegant, sleek, and easily accessible size has turned Mia into a favorite of mine. Like her sister Nea I have gotten into the habit of taking her with me wherever I go, just in case I might need her. One of these days I’m going to charge her up on a public (library?) computer and then go into the bathroom and use her, or something equally as scandalous.

5 Reasons Why I Love My Hitachi Magic Wand

My Hero - The Hitachi Magic Wand!

My Hero - The Hitachi Magic Wand!

The Hitachi Magic Wand is a product that really needs no introduction. Practically everybody has at least heard of amazing orgasms induced by the Magic Wand and when you add the G-spot attachment to it, it becomes a vibrator superhero. I’m not going to go on and on telling you about how my Magic Wand is never out of reach of my bed. I won’t spend this entire review saying how much I appreciate that it’s powered by electricity, so I never have to worry about getting almost there only to have the batteries die (rechargeable or otherwise). Instead of tell you how the Hitachi Magic Wand has lasted me for years and years of almost daily use, I decided to write 5 reasons why I love my Hitachi Magic Wand. If you haven’t used one yet, you’ll want to after you read this:

1. Strong clitoral orgasms that leave your knees shaking. It doesn’t have to be just a masturbation toy - sometimes while Marky is fucking me from behind, I’ve got the Magic Wand nestled between my legs on my clit so that I have the extra stimulation. Every thrust of his pushes my clit harder against it until, if we’re lucky and our timing is good, I can have a G-spot orgasm a clitoral orgasm and he can come at the same time. This is the reason why staying up until 3:30 am for sex when you have to be up at 7 am with kids is worth it sometimes!

2. G-spot orgasm after G-spot orgasm (my first squirting orgasms were from the Hitachi w/ attachment). It was like the day I turned 35 my G-spot came to life. It is more likely that I didn’t get my hands on the attachment until then. The G-spot attachment is sturdy and smooth - it slides in so nicely - whether you’re using it yourself or on another.

3. Using the attachment on Marky’s ass (or hearing about how he did it himself while masturbating). You didn’t think this was just a woman’s toy, did you? That same attachment touches the exact right spot for a prostate orgasm. From what Marky tells me, it’s an amazing orgasm that comes (no pun intended) in two waves, first the initial spurt of ejaculation and then a “lava flow” of prostate ejaculate, a thicker and distinct ejaculation. Being a cumslut, naturally, I love to watch this happen.

4. Having it used on me while I’m bound and helpless. Sometimes you want it to be in just the right place so badly but the top just won’t put it right there, a tease and denial game that causes your body to try to find the vibrator the way a seedling heliotropes. Knowing that your partner is going to control your orgasm is extremely arousing mentally. The physical satisfaction is a given.

5. Using it on others for forced orgasms. I love to watch women as they squirm around the tip of the Hitachi Magic Wand, trying to place their clits just right against it so they can come. I love to watch a woman’s face the first time she feels the horn of the G-spot attachment vibrate against her G-spot intensely and then watch as I change the speed from slow to fast and then remove it and play with her until she is nearly mad for that orgasm. I love to slide it into a man’s ass while gently stroking his cock or taking it into my mouth - the combination is nothing short of magical, or so I hear.

So there you have it - if it weren’t abundantly clear before, the Hitachi Magic Wand and the G-spot attachment are staples of any good toybox. It should be the first thing a young woman buys for herself when she goes off to college, it should be a wedding gift, men should buy it for their girlfriend or wife and women should buy it for their men - heck, it should be for sale in the waiting room of the marriage therapist’s office. It’s one of those toys that has so successfully been marketed as a ::wink wink:: massager, that you can have one without really worrying about the social stigma that can be attached with sex toys.

All I can say is, I feel sorry for the poor soul without an Hitachi Magic Wand - you are really missing out! Go straight to VibeReview.com and buy one - if you use this coupon code, you’ll even get 10% off through election day.

Have You Met My New Best Friend, Lily?

Lily by Lelo

Lily by Lelo

Classy.  Sophisticated.  Discreet.  Three words that sum up the entire Lelo line, but in particular today I’m talking about Lily.  I have a few Lelo products now, and they are all a little bit different.  Their dildo vibrators are definitely top of the line!  I have even tested out and reviewed their exercise/pleasure system, the Luna Beads.  This time, I had the opportunity to try something different, so I chose Lily.

Just like every Lelo product, the Lily comes in an elegant package with a charger and a satin pouch.   It is such an upscale clitoral vibrator that it wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow of suspicion that it’s a little bundle of pleasure.  For that reason, exactly, I have recommended the Lily to a friend of mine as a nice gift for his girlfriend as a travel surprise in her carry-on bag.   He was very specific about his request - something that she would not get hassled for in security, something that didn’t need batteries, and something that was classy enough for a very sophisticated and worldly woman.

Well, the Lily isn’t just for the well-traveled, cosmopolitan, Manolo Blahnik wearing woman.  Everyday women and moms all over America have to keep in mind that your children might come across your sex toys.  Yes, I have a teenager and I have to keep in mind that she’ll be coming in my room at some point in the morning, which means discretion is important to me.  If she walks in my room looking for her missing shoe and finds a giant dildo on the nightstand, that’s not cool.  If she walks in my room looking for said shoe and the Lily is on my nightstand, she wouldn’t give it a second glance.  This stuff matters to us!

Lily is more than just a pretty face though - she is a sweet little clitoral vibrator.  The function is pretty simple - two buttons: (-) and (+) do everything you can imagine and then some.  Aside from decreasing and increasing the intensity of the vibration, the (+) button also gives you access to some pre-set vibe patterns and settings,and the combination of the two buttons held down together locks and unlocks it so it doesn’t start vibrating in your handbag unexpectedly.

I must admit, after using the Hitachi Magic Wand for years, I was worried if the Lily would “get me there.”   Unlike the Hitachi, there isn’t the instant wowsa.  This is good though.  What happens is a gradual build-up, a sexual tension that builds, and then finally a beautiful orgasm that is less intense than the Hitachi, in my experience.  Again, in my opinion, this is a good thing.  Sometimes the Hitachi is so intense that it’s just instant “yow” and I can’t get it off my clit fast enough - with Lily, I found that I was able to ride out the intensity and go for another.  So my first experience with Lily got me there not just once, but twice, quite nicely.  It’s worth noting that I did this right next to my husband without waking him (poor Marky was so tired, I didn’t have the heart to wake him up to get me off).

Obviously I can’t say enough about Lily.  I’m once again convinced that Lelo makes a superior product - it’s design and look are beautiful, the packaging makes it discreet, it performs almost silently and very subtly.  It brings you to a state of pleasure and then orgasm again and again, making it an A+ sex toy in my book.

Sex Toy Review: Nea by Lelo

The Nea by Lelo may very well be my new favorite toy. I am absolutely in love with Lelo, so when they offered me a toy of theirs I had a hard time deciding which one to get because I want them all. There is no Lelo pleasure object that I wouldn’t own. They are all gorgeous and unique in their own ways, and I highly encourage you to check out their entire line of pleasure objects. Go ahead, I’ll still be here when you get back.

I like to take everything about a toy into account in my review and desire of it, not just the vibration or how well it gets me off. Although vibration and orgasm intensity are both extremely important (why else do we buy vibrators, right?) most toys can bring me to orgasm with enough time or effort on my part. Sometimes I want a longer work-up to orgasm not just the wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am intensity of the Hitachi, so intensity is not always the only thing I look for.

I take all the aesthetics and features into mind when reviewing a toy, and the greatest testament to my desire of it is not how well it got me off but how likely I am to use it again, and Nea has become my number one toy to use both for solo and partner play. I love everything about it: the design, the ease of use and light-up display, the chargeability, the size, the shape, the feel, and (of course) the vibration.

Nea comes in a pretty black storage box along with a charger, a satin pouch for traveling, warranty information (Lelo gives a one year warranty standard with all of their toys), and an instruction manual. Not many toys come with an instruction manual, and if they do there’s usually not more than a page of pretty basic instructions. Nea’s manual, however, includes not only basic information about the pleasure object (such as basic features, and charging, cleaning, and vibration information) but also troubleshooting information and specifications. The manual informs us that Nea is made from PC-ABS (Polycarbonate-Acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene blend) which is a phthalate-free thermoplastic and completely safe to use.

There is a LED strip around each of the buttons that lights up when you press them, which can be handy in a dark room. It also changes color from white to red if Nea’s batteries are running out, alerting you to plug her in to charge, blinking while she’s charging and then solid white when she’s charged up and ready to go. It takes just two hours of waiting to charge her up for a full seven hours of pleasure.

The added benefit of being able to charge the Nea also means that you will never have to change the batteries, meaning no batteries to use and throw away, and you’ll never have to search the house for new batteries to put in it mid-masturbation (something I’ve done a number of times). Lelo also sells the chargers separately in case something happens to the one included.

Another neat feature Nea has is the ability to lock the vibrator by pressing both buttons at once until the LED light turns off, which is definitely handy if you are planning on carrying it with you anywhere. Normally if I’m flying with vibrators I take the batteries out of them before packing them, but this is not possible with chargeable toys like Nea, so having the option to lock it is definitely handy. That way you don’t have to worry about Nea turning on accidentally in your bag, being confiscated by baggage handlers at the airport, or anything like that.

Unlike her nearly identical counterpart Lily (which has more of a silken matte finish) Nea is smooth and sleek, likened to porcelain by Lelo, a description I agree with. Nea sports a gorgeous delicate flower design on one side and two buttons on the underside, as you can see in the image above. Images of Nea can be deceiving, however, one would imagine from her pictures that she is the same size as the LayaSpot perhaps, which is four inches in length, but Nea is much smaller, only about two and a half inches. Small and adorable, just over the size of a bullet vibrator, made perfectly for clitoral stimulation.

This brings me to Nea’s shape, which I find to be absolutely perfect. She nestles just right, the rounded bottom of the toy against my thumb for button-pressing, my thumb resting against my mons, while the pointed end of Nea presses just right against my clit and VCH piercing, eliciting sighs and moans of pleasure. It has just the right curve to make it easy to get to just the right place, and while she is small she is easy to hold on to and maneuver about.

Nea’s two buttons control both the intensity and type of vibration. In addition to the regular continuous vibration which all vibrators have, she also has four additional vibration pulses, three steady pulses of various speeds (called “extended interval pulsation,” “itermediate interval pulsationd ,” and “short interval pulsation” in the manual) as well as a roller coaster vibration effect (called “before & after”). I enjoy cycling through the programs and playing with the Nea on various parts of both my and Dominus’ body not just my clit.

I found the vibrations to be nice and strong but not extra super strong. While the Nea is able to bring me to orgasm it does require a little bit of rubbing on my part, which I don’t mind. Even when playing with the Hitachi I need to add a little bit of movement myself, it’s just the way my clit likes it, but the Nea definitely takes longer to get me off than the Hitachi. While the vibrations are strong I wouldn’t recommend Nea for those of you who need Hitachi-strength vibrations to get off. However, Nea can be a wonderful teasing toy if the goal isn’t to get off, and if you are looking for a gorgeous clitoral vibrator and don’t need that much strength Nea would be perfect for you (as it is for me)

There’s just nothing quite like the Nea well, except her sister toy Lily. Nea has made me a Lelo addict! I fantasize about someday having every Lelo toy happily residing in my toybox. There’s just no substitute for the quality of pleasure Lelo’s pleasure objects bring.

Sex Toy Review: Lily by Lelo

The Lily

I <3 Lelo. A lot. You can imagine my excitement when a lovely box arrived in the mail for me, containing none other than my very own Lelo Lily Vibe. Of course, *mine* was not pink. No, it was black, and we all know how incredibly hot black sex toys are! Now, I’ve had the Gigi vibe by Lelo for almost a year now, and I absotively, posolutely LOVE it.

So you might then be able to understand why I was a little disappointed when the Lily didn’t set off fireworks under the covers.

As with all Lelo products, I charged my lovely Lily first. Score one for being sustainable, and not using batteries! As I waited, I read the instructions. Unlike the Gigi, it didn’t have multiple programs, although there were different levels of vibration. I loved the feeling of the toy; almost velvety. And of course, like all Lelo products, it is completely phthalate free! Hurray!

Once it was good to go, I unplugged it, and snuck into my bedroom, losing my clothing on the way. Hopping into bed, I turned up the toy to the second setting it, letting it work its way down my body to my clit.

Now, just like there are two types of hits in BDSM (stingy and thuddy) and most people have a preference, there are multiple types of vibration, and I don’t just mean “training toys vs the Hitachi Magic Wand“, although sometimes it DOES feel that way. No, I mean there are hummy toys, and whiny toys, and buzzy toys, etc. This toy was kind of whiny. It was louder than my Gigi, and the noise was kind of annoying. More over, rather than deeply vibrate my clit the way I like, it almost felt like it tickled it. I tried it on a variety of different settings; high, low, in the middle (kind of like Golidlocks, but nothing felt “just right”). I fit it between my lips, put on a pair of underwear and walked around (a suggestion made in the instructions, which I actually read), but still, nothing.Now, this is not to say it wasn’t arousing; it most certainly was. But as someone who loves the humming, high power, weapons grade sex toys? It was incredibly frustrating! After a bit of this, I gave up, putting the Lily to the side, and busting out my good ol’ friend, the Hitachi.

These types of vibes are perfect for some people. If you’re very sensitive, I can only imagine that the Lily Vibe would feel sensational! However, for me, it just didn’t *quite* do it, and it’s a pricey enough vibe that I would have been a bit frustrated, and not just sexually. A similar, but slightly more affordable vibe is the Layaspot (although I don’t think it comes in black, and let me tell you, that was quite the selling point!), which might be worth trying out first.However, if you KNOW you don’t need a lot of fire power, and you like the lighter, more buzzy vibes, this could be the right toy for you. It’s beautiful, well designed, re-chargable, comes with a satin pouch for travel and a cool box for storage, is phthalate free, and in addition to pretty colors, is also available in BLACK!
