Pearly Passion Tempts Me!

Pearl passion tempt Vibrating head massager by California Exotic Material: TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) Safety: $0.00 Buy from EdenFantasys
Rating:	Vroom:	Bee:

Use

The Pearl Passion Tempt is a great small, soft, and flexible vibe. Its vibrations are great for stimulating nipples or the clitoris, as well as the g-spot. While not designed like a typical g-spot vibrator, the head flexes, making it easy to reach the g-spot. I think it would be great for someone who has never used a vibrator before. It has vibrations that are strong enough for orgasms, but not too strong. It can easily be used solo or by a couple looking for a bit of spice in the bedroom. It's quiet enough that it can't be heard through a door. In fact, it's not much louder than my cellphone vibrations, even when turned on high.

Material / Texture

The Pearl Passion Tempt is made from TPR which makes it quite soft, but it also attracts a bit of lint. TPR is slightly porous, so condoms are recommended if sharing this toy. The color is purple, and has a bit of a pearl-like quality to it, which I suppose gives it its name. The handle with the button on it is removable to put the batteries in, and it is made from plastic. While the packaging touts that it is unscented, I experienced something different when I opened it. It does have a bit of a rubber scent to it when you hold it close to your face. Once it has been washed, that scent does fade, but it's still there a bit. I do find the material to be a bit sticky, so without any lube, it doesn't slide easily across the skin.

Design / Shape / Size

The design of the Pearl Passion Tempt is quite nice. It's not too large, at 6 inches in length, with 4-1/2 inches of it insertable. It has 1-1/8 inches diameter, and 3-1/2 inches of circumference. The shaft has large ridges around it, which are nice to feel when thrusting. The part of the shaft that flexes is above the ridges. This size is perfect for the beginner, and is easy to stick in your purse and take it with you.

Functions / Performance / Controls

The Pearl Passion Tempt has two settings. There's a button on the side of the removable battery cover that rotates between the two settings and off. The vibrations are located in the head, which makes this even more ideal for g-spot stimulation. With the flexible head, it's easy to get the vibrations exactly where you want them. The only complaint I have about the control button is that if you touch it to change settings, it stops for a moment. This is an easy thing to do if you're not careful. It is very quiet, only slightly louder than my cellphone's vibrate setting, even on the high setting. It is waterproof, and works great in the tub or shower.

Care and Maintenance

TPR is a material that is very easy to care for. All you need to clean it is water and soap, or your favorite toy cleaner. It is compatible with both water and silicone based lubricants. It's easy to store it, as the material has no compatibility issues with other toy materials. It takes one AA battery, which is incredibly simple to change.

Packaging

The Pearl Passion Tempt comes in standard Cal Exotics packaging. It can be used for storage if you want, but I prefer to keep my toys in something a bit more attractive. It comes with instructions for inserting the battery, although it's not really necessary. The packaging is minimal, just enough to deliver it to you, and give a bit of information.

L'Amour Tryst 3: My new love!

Lamour premium silicone massager tryst 3 Traditional vibrator by California Exotic Material: Silicone / Plastic Safety: $0.00 Buy from EdenFantasys
Rating:	Vroom:	Bee:

Use

The tryst 3 is wonderful for most everyone. It's perfect for a beginner, but with enough variety for experienced users. It can be used to stimulate all areas of the body, as well as being perfect for clitoral and vaginal stimulation. I would not recommend it for internal anal play, as it has no flare to the end, and it would be terrible to lose this baby. It's great for either solo or partner play. As it's made from pure silicone, aside from the battery cap which is made from plastic, it can be safely shared between partners. It's also quiet enough that you needn't worry about disturbing anyone in the next room. It's quieter than my cellphone's vibration setting.

Material / Texture

The majority of this toy is premium silicone. The only part that is not silicone is the battery cover, which is made of plastic. The shaft is quite flexible, making it easy to maneuver in different ways. The surface is lightly ribbed from about halfway down the shaft, with a slightly bulbous head. To be honest, I couldn't feel the texture very much, as the ribs are not very prominent. There's a slight seam going around the length of the shaft, but it can't be felt at all.

It has no real scent, aside from a vague rubber smell when you put it right under your nose. There's no real taste to this material, either. The silicone is non-porous, making it ideal for use with a partner. It does tend to gather lint, so I would recommend storing it in a pouch of some sort, as well as rinsing it in water before each use to get rid of any lint.

Design / Shape / Size

This toy is definitely a perfect size for beginners. It's 7 inches in length, 5-1/4 of which is insertable. It measures 4-3/4 inches circumference, and 1-1/2 inches diameter, so it's not too much to handle in terms of girth. The flexibility of this toy makes it easy to adjust it to hit exactly where you want it, whether it's to hit your g-spot, or simply clitoral stimulation. This toy could easily be taken and hidden in a suitcase for travel purpose, but I'd put it in a pouch of some sort unless you'd like TSA to know what you're carrying.

Functions / Performance / Controls

The controls on the tryst 3 are very easy to use. There are two buttons on the bottom of the shaft. The top button is the on/off button. Once this is on, the two buttons are back-lit, making them easy to see in the dark. The bottom button activates the vibrations, and rotates between the seven different settings.

1. low vibrations
2. medium vibrations
3. intense vibrations
4. escalating vibrations
5. pulsating vibrations
6. faster pulsations
7. short-short-short-long pulsations

Once it's rotated through all 7, it goes back to the start again, rather than turning off. To turn it off, simply hit the top on/off button again. I found it to be quiet enough when vibrating that it can't really be heard through covers or a bedroom door. It's also wonderful for use in the bath or shower. I was a bit concerned about this, since the battery cover doesn't look like it has any sort of protection, but it performed great.

Care and Maintenance

Silicone is a wonderfully easy material to care for. It can be cleaned easily using soap and warm water, or a 10% bleach solution. It can also be put in the dishwasher, as long as you make sure that the battery cap is on tightly.

It uses two AAA batteries, which fit into a neat compartment in the bottom. The only complaint I have about the battery compartment is that it can be difficult to open and close, which I suppose is why it's waterproof, even without an o-ring. It does make for a bit of a hassle when needing to change the batteries, however.

Since this toy is made of silicone, it is not compatible with silicone-based lubes, and should also not be stored with other silicone toys.

Packaging

The packaging is basic Cal Exotics packaging, simple and functional. There isn't too much in the way of information on the packaging, simply the basics. It can be used to store the toy, although I tend to prefer more attractive pouches for storage of my toys.

Colt the prowler Vibrating probe by California Exotic Material: Plastic Safety: $0.00 Buy from EdenFantasys
Rating:	Vroom:	Bee:

Use

This baby is quite a large one, I must say. He's great for a bit of clitoral stimulation before he prowls his way right inside. He's got a nice long handle, making him easy to grasp hold of and control. I know that he's listed as being designed for anal play, but he can be used just as easily for vaginal play, just make sure to clean him thoroughly if you're swapping in between. I was a bit intimidated to use him for actual anal penetration, as he really is a big boy, but I'm sure he'd work great for more seasoned anal lovers. He is definitely not for beginners, especially not beginners in anal adventures, but can be greatly enjoyed by individuals and couples alike who would like something a bit more manly looking in their collection.

Material / Texture

The plastic that this big boy is made of is nice and smooth, no ridges, nothing fancy, just a long smooth shaft. This means that he's non-porous, so feel free to share (just be sure to clean in between, or use a condom). Since he is made of a hard plastic, he is very rigid, not flexible in any way. He is also odor-free, always a bonus.

Design / Shape / Size

The Colt Prowler looks similar to a cop's nightstick, making him a very intimidating-looking toy. He's got a handle with a silver ring that separates the handle from the shaft. He is definitely a big boy, at almost 11 inches including the handle. Only 6 inches of him is insertable, however. He has a nice girth, with a diameter of 1-1/2 inches, and a circumference of 4-1/4 inches. He is definitely not discreet, unless your friends are used to you having nightsticks lying around your house. I would not recommend him for a beginner, as his size along with his strong vibrations can be a bit much.

Functions / Performance / Controls

The control for this fella is on the end of the handle. There's a convenient ribbed portion that can be turned to turn him on and off. The further you turn him, the more intense the vibrations get. The control can be a bit sensitive, especially when turning it from the off position. The vibrations seem to be located in the center of the shaft, traveling outward from there. Since he has quite intense vibrations, he's also a bit noisy, so I wouldn't recommend using him without turning on some music or television for a bit of noise to drown him out, along with your screams of pleasure. His vibrations are intense enough that I didn't even need to turn him all the way up to reach climax. He is also waterproof, so feel free to take him for a romp in the shower or bathtub!

Care and Maintenance

Since this baby's made of plastic, he's very easy to care for. He can easily be washed with your favorite toy cleaner, or just soap and water. He's compatible with all types of lube, silicone, water, and oil based. I store him inside of my bedside table, along with my other toys, as he doesn't have any compatibility problems with other materials. He also takes 3 AAA batteries, which are easily inserted in the end of the handle.

Nubby vibrating glass Glass vibrator by Don Wands Material: Tempered glass Safety: $72.99 Buy from EdenFantasys
Rating:	Vroom:	Bee:

Use

This vibrator was quite a shock when I opened the box from EdenFantasys. I had seen the pictures online, but wasn't entirely prepared for the size of this toy. She is a very large glass vibrator with nubs all around the shaft. The vibrations are not incredibly intense; rather, they're a perfect moderate level, without being overly noisy. She's wonderful to start things off, rubbing her along nipples and belly, stimulating the senses. She then moves on to stimulate the clitoris, and then slowly slides all the way inside. It's important to be a bit gentle when inserting her all the way, since she is so very long. It would be easy to bruise the cervix if you're not careful.

Since she's made of glass, she's wonderful for temperature play. The tempered glass holds both heat and cold very well. She can also be shared with a partner, since the glass is easily sterilized. I would definitely not recommend her for beginners.

Material / Texture

The tempered glass that this baby is made of is one of the safest materials for a toy. It's rigid, and completely non-porous. It has no smell to it at all. It's a beautiful smooth glass, with nubs all the way around, which give a wonderful sensation when thrusting. The tip is shaped similarly to the head of a penis, which I found to be very pleasing.

Design / Shape / Size

I love the design of this toy. With 9-1/2 inches of length and 6-3/4 inches of it being insertable, 5-1/4 inch circumference and 1-5/8 inch diameter, she is definitely not for beginners. There is a nice swell in the girth in the middle of the shaft, in addition to the nubs. This gives a wonderful full feeling when inserted. I wouldn't recommend leaving her out on the coffee table, but when she's in her included storage pocket, no one would ever suspect what may be inside.

Functions / Performance / Controls

This Nubby vibrating glass has 8 distinct settings, operated by a discreet button on the base of the toy.

1. High intensity buzz
2. Medium intensity buzz
3. Lowest intensity buzz
4. Starting short pulse, going into a low hum vibration, followed by a higher intensity vibration, and then cycle begins again
5. Long pulses, followed by slightly shorter pulses, and then fast pulses, and the cycle begins again
6. High intensity beginning, progressing to medium, then to low, and back up again, and cycle repeats
7. "Short-short-short-long" 3 times, followed by a couple of long pulses and then back to the beginning of the cycle
8. Starts out with short pulses, going into a continuous high intensity vibration

The sound isn't too noisy. Some settings are louder than others, but none can be heard through a closed door.

Care and Maintenance

Tempered glass is incredibly easy to care for. It can be cleaned with your favorite toy cleaner, or just warm soap and water. She can also be sanitized using rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution. She cannot be boiled, since she has electronic parts, as well as a plastic handle. This toy is also waterproof, so feel free to bring her into the shower with you.

She is compatible with all types of lube, both water- and silicone-based. She also comes with her own pretty velvet cushioned pouch for storage. This keeps her from getting scratched and also gives a nice discreet place to keep her.

Packaging

The packaging was very nice, especially the beautiful storage pouch. When I reached into the pouch I found a set of batteries, which was definitely a pleasant surprise! There were instructions for use included on the packaging. The only thing that would have made it better is if it had a detailed explanation of the settings.

G-spot and Vibrator in Perfect Harmony

Symphony G-harmony G-spot vibrator by Evolved Material: TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) Safety: $16.49 Buy from EdenFantasys
Rating:	Vroom:	Bee:

Use

The G-Harmony is a powerful g-spot vibe with a nice textured tip. It easily brought me to a harmonious climax when used to stimulate the clitoris. Once it was inserted inside the vagina, it easily reaches the G-spot, creating another melodious orgasm. Feel free to use it for g-spot stimulation, and use another toy, such as the 7 Function Power Play Bullet on the clitoris for maximum pleasure. It can easily be used by couples as well, although a condom should be used if it's going to be shared. It has a good girth to it, so I wouldn't recommend it for beginners, unless it is only to be used externally. It's also quiet enough to not be heard through a closed door, so no worries about disturbing neighbors or roommates. Since it's waterproof as well, you can feel free to bring it into the shower for a little bath-time fun!

I haven't tried using this toy anally, but I'm sure it could be used for some external anal play, but care should be taken if trying to insert it, since it doesn't really have a flared base.

Material / Texture

The G-Harmony is made of a flexible TPR material. This makes it slightly porous, so condoms should be used if you plan to share it with a partner. It's slightly sticky, rather than smooth on the surface. This means that it tends to pick up a lot of lint. However, if you just run it under water before use, that will take care of any lint that it may collect. If you hold the toy directly under your nose, there is a very slight odor. Thankfully, it can only be smelt if it's right in your face. The tip of the vibe is textured, but I honestly couldn't feel it, since the texture is actually on the back side of the g-spot curve.

Design / Shape / Size

The G-Harmony is shaped similarly to other g-spot vibrators. It has a straight shaft with a g-curve. It is 8-1/4 inches long, with 6 inches of it being insertable. At 4-3/4 inches in circumference and 1-3/8 inches in diameter, it can have a bit too much girth for some. I found it to give a nice feeling of fullness when inserted. I would say that this toy is easy for travel as long as you keep it in the box that it came in. It comes in a beautiful tin that could easily be mistaken for something else, as long as they don't look too closely!

Functions / Performance / Controls

The G-Harmony has a bullet located in the tip of the vibrator, making the vibrations concentrated there. This makes it wonderful for g-spot stimulation, as that's where the vibrations are located. It has a push button on the end of the base which rotates between 3 variable speeds. The only problem with this is that if you're not careful, it's easy to accidentally hit the control button. It is waterproof, and performs great in both the bath and the shower.

The G-Harmony is powered by 2 AA batteries, which are inserted into a battery cartridge in the end of the toy. It's very easy to change the batteries, as the cartridge seems to slide easily in and out of the end of it.

Care and Maintenance

The TPR that the G-Harmony is made of is very easy to care for. It can easily be cleaned with soap and water or your favorite toy cleaner. With the handle being made of velvety plastic, and the rest being made of TPR, it is not safe to boil this toy. However, the TPR is compatible with both water and silicone based lubricants.

The G-Harmony also comes packaged in a beautiful red tin box that's perfect for storage. If you have little prying eyes in your house, I would recommend keeping it out of their reach, but otherwise, no one would know what it is unless they looked closely.

Packaging

The G-Harmony comes in some of the best packaging I've seen. It's packaged in a beautiful red tin box, with clamps on the side to keep it tightly closed. There is a window in the lid that shows off the toy inside, but unless someone looks closely, they wouldn't know what was inside of it. I would say that this would be wonderful as a gift as well as storage. I know that I would love to receive one of these as a gift.

Not so Gleeful Vibe

Reflections glee G-spot vibrator by Doc Johnson Material: Tempered glass Safety: $32.99 Buy from EdenFantasys
Rating:	Vroom:	Bee:

Use

This toy is great for someone who doesn't need very intense vibrations to reach orgasm. If you need a bit more to get you going, this isn't the vibe for you. The vibrations on it feel a bit muted, perhaps by the glass, although on the box, there are claims that the glass intensifies the vibrations and transmits them better. It's good for clitoral stimulation, and the curve on the end can easily find the G-spot. It's also waterproof, so it's good for bath-time fun. For me, it works for foreplay, but I need something else to actually get the job done. It should also be mentioned that it's great for temperature play, being that it's made of glass.

Material / Texture

The texture of this vibrator is the main reason for the score. When I ordered it, I saw that it was glass, and therefore expected a nice and soft glass vibrator. For some reason they took the surface of it and gave it a "velvety" texture. While I'm all for giving plastic a nice velvety texture, this does not work for glass. I removed it from its packaging and almost put it right back in. The texture reminds me of a chalkboard, which gives me childhood memories of nails on a chalkboard. This means that I can't touch it without getting chills, and not the good kind. I powered through, thinking that perhaps I would get over the texture, but after using it numerous times for this review, I think it will be put away back in its box never to be opened again.

Design / Shape / Size

The design of the Reflections Glee is similar to most g-spot vibes. It is 6-1/2 inches long, with 5 inches of insertable length, 1-1/4 inch diameter, and 4-1/8 inches circumference. It's not too large, making it a great beginner g-spot vibrator. I wouldn't recommend using it in the anus, as it doesn't have any sort of handle to stop it from getting lost inside. It can, however be used to stimulate the external area of the anus and perineum.

Functions / Performance / Controls

The Reflections Glee vibrator is operated by a push button on the end of the base. It even has a little 3 written on the button to remind you that it has three settings. The only problem with the push button is that if you touch it even the slightest bit, it pauses the vibrations. This can cause a bit of an interruption if you're trying to increase the intensity. It's not very noisy, and if I had a roommate, I wouldn't worry about them ever hearing me using it. I did take it into the bath and it performed beautifully. It is fully waterproof, so feel free to use it in the tub, pool, hot tub, wherever your heart desires!

Care and Maintenance

The Reflections Glee is very easy to care for. Glass is one of the simplest materials when it comes to maintenance. It can be easily cleaned with just soap and water, or your favorite toy cleaner. There are no crevices for any debris to get stuck in. The one thing about it, though, is that it is a plastic vibe surrounded by glass, so I wouldn't recommend boiling or putting it in the dishwasher to sterilize it, as there's a chance that it could melt the plastic. However, since it is glass, it is compatible with all types of lubes, and it is safe to store alongside any other toys you may have.

Personal comments

I personally will not be using this toy again. Not because of the functions or the size or anything like that, but simply because of the texture. I tried, but could not get past the feel of it. I've read some of the other reviews on this product, and some people have really enjoyed the "velvety" feel of the glass, but I want to just take it and put it in one of those old fashioned rock tumblers, just to give it a smooth feel. I really do get chills every time I pick it up, fearing that my fingernails might brush against it, and it will make me feel like I'm in school again, with fingernails running down a chalkboard.
