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!
Shop online or in store and Happy Holidays!
