Love your computer? Love sex toys? Why not put ‘em together with the USB rechargeable Lelo Mia Vibrator. That’s correct — you heard me right, this adorable clitoral stimulation (available in pink or purple) charges itself IN YOUR USB DRIVE. That makes this a great vibrator to bring to the office, on airplanes (charge it during your layovers, or even in flight), or to keep in your pocket or purse. It has multiple speeds, which is great since options are always nice, and like all external vibrators, it can be used clitorally as well as on the nipples, testicles, the shaft of the penis and more. Compatible with both silicone lube and water-based lube, as well as combine it with all types of toys!

To hear the rest of my thoughts, watch the video below and then check out the Lelo Mia for yourself!

Katy is back with another great post, this time about some of the amazing silicone toys you can find at Fascinations!

Sex toys come in a variety of materials: plastic, glass, stainless steel, TPR (a silicone blend), and many others. But the fan favorite has to be silicone, and for several reasons. It’s soft and pliable, while still maintaining firmness. It has no smell to it and it won’t absorb any smells since it is nonporous. Also, being nonporous, it can be sterilized (more on that later) or simply cleaned with soap and water. Silicone is very durable and, with proper care, will last as long as you do. Silicone comes in many colors, whether you want to match your sheets, have something lifelike, or something undead-like. If your toy is anything but opaque, and the packaging says “silicone”, the manufacturer most likely means “silicone blend” (one exception is the Champlette Silver). Please note that silicone toys should not be used with silicone lube. Either use a water-based lube, or cover your toy with a condom. With so much attention being paid to silicone lately, I thought I would give a list of the best silicone toys available.

But first, a small section on how to sterilize your silicone toys.

Scenario One: you have a non-vibrating toy or a toy with a removable bullet and you are busy. Remove the bullet if your toy has one, place your toy(s) in the top rack of your dishwasher without soap, and turn on your dishwasher. The heat of the water is enough to sterilize your toy(s) so adding soap is just wasting soap.

Scenario Two: you have a non-vibrating toy or a toy with a removable bullet and you have a roommate. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Remove the bullet if your toy has one and submerge your toy(s) for about 2-5 minutes. You now have Dildo Soup and your toys are sterile!

Scenario Three: you have a vibrating toy. Take 1 tablespoon of bleach and 10 tablespoons of water and combine them in a bowl. Dip a cloth or paper towel in the solution and wipe down your toys. You can also store a large batch of bleach solution so you don’t have to make one every time you want to clean your toys– just use a 1/4 cup instead of a tablespoon and store in a spray bottle. This solution can also clean other nonporous surfaces in your home. If the thought of bleach coming into contact with sensitive areas worries you, keep in mind you can always clean your toys with soap and water afterwards.

Now for the fun stuff. Here are the best silicone toys for each category!

Best Toy to Use in a Harness: Just about anything by Tantus. Almost every Tantus toy has a flanged base. Tantus toys come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors to suit your every need.

Most Lifelike Toy: The Goodfella by Vixen Creations. Oh, if I had a penis, this would be it. The Goodfella is made of dual-density silicone, meaning he’s nice and soft on the outside with a firm core on the inside. This is as close to a real penis as you can get, complete with testicles!

Best G-Spot Toy: Tie between the Lelo Gigi and the Je Joue G-Ki. Each has a curved neck and flat head perfect for g-spot stimulation. G-Ki’s curve can be adjusted to fit your needs. And when it is in the “J” position, the handle vibrates on the clitoris simultaneously.

Best Clitoral Toy: The Form 2 by Jimmyjane. Many people adore the Form 2 because it is powerful, quiet, easy to use, rechargeable, and submersible. The toy is backed by a 3-year warranty so if you experience any problems within that time, Jimmyjane will take care of it. You can read Anja’s review of the Form 2 here.

Best Dual Stimulator: The Lelo Ina. Complete with two motors (one in the shaft and one in the clitoral arm), using the Ina can be a powerful, yet quiet, experience. Ina’s shaft simply vibrates so if you would like a toy with a rotating shaft, may I recommend the Couture Utopia?

Best Couples’ Toy: The We-Vibe II. Of course it’s my top pick! The We-Vibe II is the bestselling couples’ toy in the U.S. The We-Vibe II is a hands-free toy that stimulates the g-spot and clitoris simultaneously and can be worn during intercourse. You can read my review of the We-Vibe II here.

Best Anal Toys: The Ophoria Rapture Anal Chain 6 and the Tantus Ace. The Rapture Anal Chain 6 is a set of anal beads while the Ace is a plug. The beads are tapered for easy insertion and removal while the plug has a long neck so it won’t pop out. Both are perfect for beginners and experts alike.

Best Cock Ring: The Cock Sling by Tantus. This teardrop-shaped toy is a cock ring complete with a perineum stimulator. The toy is firm (so it gets it’s intended job done) but pliable (so it is easy to remove if things become painful). And the extra perineum stimulator can provide a nice sensation while not being too overwhelming.

Best Kegel Balls: The Je Joue Ami. This kegel ball training system is fantastic. A set of three, the first is a lightweight single ball, the second is a medium weight dual ball, and the third is a small, heavy, dual ball. This set is perfect for those who want different sizes and weights without having to buy separate pieces. Kegel balls should never be used anally. (These are best sterilized using the bleach solution.)

After extolling the virtues of silicone, hopefully you have an idea about which silicone toy suits your needs best. Be sure to shop in-store or online!

Thanks to Anja for her review of one of *my* favorite clitoral vibrators, the Lelo Siri!

This week Katy is giving you an overview of how freaking cool the LELO brand is; they just came out with a new line called Insignia that are very sharp-looking! I thought I’d tell you about the LELO I own, and why I love it.

Like the ever-popular Lily, the Siri is one of LELO’s small, rechargeable clitoral stimulators. It’s a bit bigger than the the Lily and doesn’t have that C-shaped curve that made those toys great for male masturbation, but the larger size means there’s room for a larger motor, which means it’s more powerful. This particular toy is bowed out at the bottom so it has almost a ridge down the center to give you a good point of contact for clitoral stimulation.

Like all LELO toys, it’s not really water-resistant. I wasn’t looking for a shower-proof toy, but the directions say not to allow water to splash on the buttons, and that’s hard to do when you’re cleaning it. (Soap and hot water or a 10% bleach solution; don’t use alcohol!) This toy is made out of silicone so it feels really nice and soft, but that means you can’t use a silicone-based lubricant, only water-based like Pjur Med Repair Glide.

The Siri has the new buttons, like the Ina and Mona, which means there’s a separate button for (+) (-) (^) and (?). For those of you who discovered you would accidentally turn your Liv off by pushing the whole button down, the new design on these toys solves your problem. As with all LELO toys, pressing and holding the (+) button a few seconds turns the toy on; if you keep holding it down, it will go all the way to the top speed, which doesn’t rival the powerhorse Hitachi, but is still more than adequate!

The Siri is a bit stronger than the Nea and Lily, and has a bit more of a “throbby” vibration like the Gigi, rather than the high-pitched vibration of those other little clitoral stimulators. It also has the full gamut of LELO vibration modes: 1. Constant (zzzzzz), 2. Slow Pulse (z z z z), 3. Fast Pulse (z z z z z), 4. Fast Throb (zzZZ zzZZ), 5. Slow Throb (zzzzZZZZ zzzzZZZZ), and 6) I don’t know what they call this mode but it reminds me of the music from the original Mario Bros dungeons. (Nerd, here.)

To continue with our specs: two hours of charging and the Siri is ready to go (the We-Vibe wants a full 24!) and lasted through two uses before I charged it again just to be safe, (I learned the hard way from the JimmyJane Form 2 that toys lose their charge slowly when sitting around in off mode) though LELO says you can get 4 hours of play time or 90 days of standby on one charge.

This toy is a little bit louder than some of the others; but “louder” compared to complete silence is still pretty darn quiet. I usually don’t mind hearing the vibration on my toys, but some days I want silence, and this one is close enough for me!

I’m somebody who really liked the aforementioned Form 2: good power, nice vibration modes, etc; but it’s a little finicky and I strongly believe I shouldn’t have to be gentle with my sex toys. The Siri is great; it has more than enough power for me, I really enjoy the throbbing vibration modes, and it’s small enough to use during intercourse in certain positions. So far it has been used effectively in a spooning position and also in doggy-style but is too bulky for missionary or the way I like girl-on-top.

Sound like it’s up your alley? Get one today online (on sale online only!) or in-store (ask an associate to show you all its features!)

Another submission from Katy, this one all about a certain fabulous couples toy!

After having worked at Fascinations for a while, I finally bought a We-Vibe II a few weeks ago. I tried it, liked it, and– with Christmas coming up– decided to write a review on it.

First, the basics. The We-Vibe is the original and one of the only toys on the market designed to be worn internally while having sex. It is rechargeable, so you never have to find batteries for it, and with no exposed outlets, it is safe to use in the shower. The We-Vibe II also has a one-year warranty so if there are any defects, it can be replaced. It is made of medical-grade silicone which makes it easy to clean and even sterilizable. Be sure to use a water-based lube with the We-Vibe II; there are two reasons for this. First, you will need to use a lubricant with the toy since it will chafe without lube. Second, since the toy is silicone, pick a water-based lube (like Pink Water) that won’t break down the material.

The We-Vibe II is U-shaped with a slim end and a larger end. The slim end is worn internally to stimulate the g-spot while the larger end rests on the clitoris. The larger end contains the charging port as well as the button to turn it on and control the functions. It has nine different settings: Low Speed, High Speed, Throb, Wave, Pulse, Ramp, Tease, Ascending, and Cha-Cha. Simply press the button to turn it on and press it each time you want a different sensation. To turn off, you can cycle through the settings or press and hold the button for three seconds. The directions say to charge the toy for 24 hours, but I feel it only needs about 6-8 hours of charge time. There will be a divot where you pierce the material with the charger.

Ok, now the fun stuff. Using the We-Vibe II is very nice. The combined clitoral and g-spot stimulations are quite interesting. Even if you have used a rabbit-style vibrator, this is a very unique feeling– especially with an added phallus! I didn’t need to use nearly as much lube as I thought I would since the slim end doesn’t take up much room at all. My boyfriend REALLY likes using the We-Vibe II because he says it feels like I am the one vibrating, not the toy! And don’t worry, the toy will not pop out when it is in use. However, when changing positions the toy can pop out– mostly because you are aroused and accommodating at this point, you are lubed up, and gravity is in the mix. To avoid having the We-Vibe II pop out while changing positions, simply hold the external end to your body. And if it does pop out, just have a laugh and move on.

The We-Vibe II is wonderful for intercourse, but it can be used for even more! Masturbation is the most obvious alternative way to use the toy. For her, it’s quite simple: pop in a salacious movie, put the We-Vibe II in, find a setting you like, and enjoy. For him: pop in a salacious movie, place the We-Vibe II in your palm, turn it on, and stroke to desired result. And masturbating a partner is just as easy! You can use the We-Vibe II as an oral helper as well. Instructions are the same as masturbating a partner (for her, you may have to move the clitoral end to the side) while substituting a flavored lube (like System Jo Flavors) and adding your mouth. The We-Vibe II is also great for strap-on sex. The giver, receiver, or both can wear the toy for extra stimulation. It can even be used as a BDSM toy– I’m sure all you sadistic tops can find a way to work it into the scene. So the We-Vibe II is not just for intercourse! Have fun experimenting with your toy to find some new fun ways to use it.

I do have some tips for using the We-Vibe II:

-Never over bend the toy. This could cause it to break and, I believe, cause the vibrations to become weaker.

-If you are used to a weapons-grade toy like the Hitachi Magic Wand, the We-Vibe II may not be strong enough to get you to orgasm. It still makes a fantastic foreplay toy. If you are not used to using toys during sex, Low Speed may be all you need.

-Start with the Low Speed anyway– if you start with High Speed, you have nowhere to go but lower.

-If you like to change the settings on a toy you are using, try not to get lube on the outside part of the toy. If there is lube on the button, it is extremely hard to press down and change the setting.

-Do not use your fingernail to change the setting. This can pierce the silicone.

-When inserting the charger, don’t point up, just go in straight.

So there you have it. I feel the We-Vibe II is a worthy investment– and a fantastic Christmas gift! And we will be getting the We-Vibe II in two new colors: teal and ruby!

Waterproof Jack Rabbit Vibrator Reviews:

Sunshine M. Store Associate Phoenix, AZ Posted: 7/29/08

Waterproof is a fantastic feature. My husband enjoys using this on me, and its not so complicated that I cant use it by myself. It is a little big, thick, so if you have a skinny guy, or skinny toys, this would take some getting used to, but it wasnt a problem for me, I like the size very much. The bunny ears are a little inflexible, but still work great. I wish it was a little longer, as far as insertable length, but as it is, it takes me only a minute or two before….. you know. I love this rabbit! It has given me more orgasms than any other toy I own.

Michelle R. Store Associate Boulder, CO Posted: 7/29/08

Oh yeah its the best toy I have ever had, and I have had quite a few. Nice long handle!! Kinda thick but was a great ride. I recommend this to anyone who has a lot of stress and needs to relax. It takes you to heaven in less the 10 minutes. The velocity control is great but the rotation system is a little bit too loud so I require careful when use it. If you live with your parents or share the house with someone else, I suggest to use something to cover the noise or use when youre all alone.
