LELO Luna Pleasure Bead System Review

By

The LELO Luna Pleasure Bead System is a product that is designed to use weighted balls to help exercise the vaginal muscles and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. The weighted balls are inserted into the vagina (either alone or with the included silicone girdle) and kept there. The vagina works itself out by keeping the balls inside and not allowing them to fall out – all without the woman doing a thing.

Many women enjoy using this product to strengthen their vaginal muscles after having a baby – because childbirth can make these muscles very weak – or simply to have better control during sex and enhance orgasms. Women who struggle with incontinence may also benefit from using the Lelo Luna Pleasure Bead System because the balls strengthen the same muscles that are used to stop the flow of urine.

The Good

The LELO Luna Pleasure Bead System is phthalate free, which is important in reducing the risk of cervical cancer caused by phthalates in sex toys. The materials used to manufacture both the silicone girdle and the weighted balls are very high quality, so you know you’re treating your body well when using these.

The free floating weights create subtle vibrations as you move, which can actually feel really good on the g-spot! The LELO Luna Pleasure Bead System is also smaller than some of the similar products out there, so it’s an excellent choice for women with a small vagina or a tilted cervix.

The string that helps you pull the weights out (like a tampon string) is thin and can’t be felt. Some products have a thicker string or the removal string is part of the girdle, so they can be quite uncomfortable to wear. This string virtually disappears until you need to take them out again!

The Bad

The silicone girdle requires lube to insert – however, you don’t want to use silicone lube, as this may deteriorate the girdle more quickly over time. Although the LELO Luna Pleasure Bead System is smaller than many of the other competing products out there, they may still be uncomfortable for some women. Depending on the position that you’re sitting or standing in, the balls can push up against your cervix and be uncomfortable or painful.

The Bottom Line

The LELO Luna Pleasure Bead System is well made, high quality and are very highly recommended. If you want to tone your vaginal muscles to be able to squeeze your partner more firmly during sex (and get more g-spot orgasms!) or if you want to have stronger PC muscles after childbirth or want to help incontinence, this system is exactly what you’re looking for.

The Full LELO Luna Pleasure Bead System Review

The LELO Luna Pleasure Bead System comes with two different sizes of weighted balls – 28 grams and 37 grams. Depending on how weak or strong your vaginal muscles are, you can use one ball without the silicone girdle, or you can use two of the smaller weighted balls with the girdle. You can also mix and match weights within the girdle, so you can start small and work your way up. If you have weaker vaginal muscles and choose a higher weight than what you should really be starting out with, they can be uncomfortable or slip out.

You definitely want to use lube when you go to insert the set. The silicone girdle actually makes it quite difficult if not impossible to insert without proper lubrication. If you’re inserting just one ball without the girdle, it’s a little easier because the plastic is smooth, however, you’re still going to want to use a good lube to get them in the right spot. A water based lube is good option, because silicone lube will deteriorate the girdle.

Keep in mind that you’re not going to see immediate results – the LELO Luna Pleasure Bead System is like a work out program for your vagina. It’s not a one time use thing. Just like you wouldn’t see immediate abs if you were to start an ab strengthening program, it will take some time and consistent use of the set for you to see and feel real results.

All in all, the LELO Luna Pleasure Bead System is a great option for women who want to tone their vaginal muscles for various reasons. Whether you want to get back to normal after having a kid, are older and have lost some of your ability to hold your bladder when you cough or sneeze, or you just want strong vaginal muscles for great sex and even better orgasms, this is the product you want to have!

How Turn On Her Mind!

By

Sex for a woman doesn’t just involve what’s in her pants – it involves the brain too. Here’s how to get her thinker aroused so her orgasm will be explosive!

Turning on a woman emotionally is almost equivalent to turning you on physically. If a woman is in the right state of thinking she can have much more enjoyable foreplay and, hence, equally terrific sex.

While arousing her body may seem like an easier, straightforward task (read more in the next chapter), stimulating her thinking takes patience and creativity (and a little bit of corniness).

Making Eye Contact

Don’t forget: an unexpected “look” can build the anticipation for later. Eye contact and a wink can be a boyish, coy way to captivate her. So can capturing her stare and giving her a genuine smile, stealing a look while she’s doing a chore or some other mundane task that wouldn’t usually warrant a sneak peek, or holding her gaze for longer than a split-second.

The Lost Art Of Kissing

What happened to kissing? Does it die out after you hear the minister say, “You may kiss your bride”? I have listened to so many of my married friends say, “I miss making out.” We yearn for no-strings-attached fooling around where we can make out without the immediate expectation of sex. There’s something thrilling about going at it like school kids on the couch or in the car (or, better yet, in a secret public place).

A few tips for reviving your kissing techniques and bringing the fun back to old-school make-out sessions:

  • Kiss her and let your tongue touch the very edge of her lips. The soft sensations will drive her absolutely wild.
  • Use your lips to “nibble” her bottom lip or, if you’re very careful, you can even use your teeth for a gentle bite. Just proceed with caution.
  • Kiss her with an open mouth and then pull away ever so slightly, allowing your tongues to continue dancing. Guys seem to really like this form of kissing.

Communicating Freely With Each Other

After years of marriage, talking openly and freely about your sexual needs can be an incredibly daunting exercise, especially if you’ve never done it. But if you want your wife to don a French maid costume or get a little forceful with a leather whip, she’s never going to do it unless you just ask her. The same goes for her.

In other words, one discussion about innermost desires can snowball and affect your general outlook on your entire relationship!

Dirty Talk

The art of dirty talk is different from the aforementioned intimate talk – dirty talk is, well, more risqué.

A common misconception is that dirty talk has to be raunchy and vulgar, but it can take on a wide range of forms. It’s really about the type of couple you are and the terminology that will get you the best reaction (you don’t want to insult her if she’s embarrassed about you using words she considers foul).

Liberator Hipster Sex Furniture Review

By

The Liberator Hipster helps you jazz up sexual positions. The high and low curves of the Hipster give partners access to an assortment of new sexual positions, taking everyday lovemaking to a higher level of intensity.

The Good

The Liberator Hipster offers excellent support during oral sex. The receiver’s hips are supported in an elevated position, and the giver is relieved from neck strain due to the much more natural angle. The giver may receive additional support by resting their neck on the large curve.

It is an excellent asset for “doggy style” sex. The large curve supports the hips, and the smaller curve supports the breasts. This combination allows the receiver to maintain a comfortable position for a longer period of time, and it offers the giver a better angle as well as improved leverage. The result is amazing!

Like all of their products, the Liberator Hipster, is very durable and easy to maintain. The Champagne foam core will not break down easily, and the microfiber and waterproof covers easily zip off and on for cleaning.

The Bad

The Liberator Hipster is 24” across and is designed to accommodate most bodies, however, a larger person may want to consider looking for a wider product.

Storage can be a bit tricky for some. It is too large to slide under most beds, and it’s size and dimensions make it an awkward fit in most places. One solution is to invest in some bed risers (roughly $10).

This product is a bit pricey, but quality craftsmanship and hours of pleasure make it well worth the investment.

The Bottom Line

The Liberator Hipster is high quality, well designed and durable, and it offers support for all of the traditional sex positions while opening the possibility for endless experimentation. What’s not to love?

The Full Liberator Hipster Review

The Liberator Hipster may look like just a funny pillow, but in reality, it is a highly technical and very functional piece of sex furniture. It’s design is ideal for raising the hips while supporting the lower body during “doggy style” sex, but that’s not all it does. When laying in a supine position, the Hipster’s large roll lifts and supports the hips in a way that allows for deeper penetration and easy lifting of the legs.

This all sounds well and good, but what everyone really wants to know is, “does it really make a difference?” The answer is simple. “Yes it does.” It is truly amazing how this product makes finding that perfect position a no brainer. It also makes it easier to stay in that position for a much longer period of time, the result is mind blowing, so to speak.

The Liberator Hipster is made from a high caliber, high density foam that the company calls Champagne foam. This foam is then encased by a waterproof nylon cover which is then encased by a very soft microfiber cover. The microfiber cover is easily spot cleaned with a gentle detergent and a damp wash cloth. It is also machine washable and easy to remove, and replace.

The cushion is 33” in length, 24” wide, and the top of the large roll rests about 10” high. In short, it is a pretty good sized piece of furniture. This makes it a priceless asset when working out new positions and very usable by a large variety of body sizes and styles. The only real draw back, is that it can propose a problem when it comes to discreet storage.

All in all, if you only get one piece of sex furniture to help you get into lots of different sex positions and oral sex positions, the Liberator Hipster is definitely the one you want!

Curved Swirl Glass Dildo With Mushroom Tip Review

By

This unique glass dildo features a full length swirl for added stimulation! The Curved Swirl Glass Dildo is a very classy wand to add to your collection.

The Good

If the Curved Swirl Glass Dildo is well cared for, it will last a very, very long time. It’s also easy to clean and care for. Hypoallergenic properties and beautiful color and design really make this a must have for your sex toy drawer.

The Bad

The Curved Swirl Glass Dildo is made of glass, and can therefore be broken if dropped or used irresponsibly. However, it IS Pyrex so it’s not all that easy to break. Keep it in the padded pouch that is included to keep it safe while not in use.

The Bottom Line

A glass dildo a work of art, and they offer an experience that is unparalleled by any other product, or person for that matter. The Curved Swirl Glass Dildo by Don Wands is an affordable piece that will still make you feel luxurious. The size and shape of this sex toy make it a great choice for just about anyone. And, it makes a very nice gift.

The Full Curved Swirl Glass Dildo Review

A glass dildo is a great addition to any woman’s sex toy collection. I am not overly experienced when it comes to dildos or any other sex toys, but I received the Curved Swirl Glass Dildo by Don Wands a few weeks ago. At first, I wasn’t sure what to say, I’d never seen a glass dildo up close and personal before. But after the initial shock wore off, I took it out of it’s packaging and turned it over in my hands. It’s heavier than I would have expected, and I was immediately stunned by the beauty of the shape and color of it. I couldn’t wait to try it out.

This glass dildo is intended for g-spot stimulation – it’s 7” long, 1 3/8” in diameter, and it weighs about half a pound. It’s made of Pyrex glass (same as your corning ware) and is therefore easy to clean, non-porous, latex free, and hypoallergenic. You can even wash and sterilize it in your dishwasher! It also comes with a padded bag for safe keeping.

After reading up a bit on my new sex toy, I learned that it can be held under warm or cold water to produce different sensations, and that due to its very solid and unyielding material, it enables a very unique type of orgasm that cannot be produced in any other way. I can now attest that both are true.

I would imagine that there are a lot of people looking for a gift for someone they love. A gift that can be used to enhance their sex life without offending their partner, and a glass dildo definitely fits the bill. The Curved Swirl Glass Dildo has been a lot of fun to experiment with, both with my husband, and on my own. I felt it to be a fun, classy, and thoughtful gift, and I’m very happy with it.

Sex In The Shower – Single Locking Foot Rest Review

By

This Single Locking Foot Rest is designed to make sex in the shower easier and safer by providing optimal angle of entry for vaginal or anal penetration. Although the concept is great, the actual product leaves a lot to be desired.

The Good

The Single Locking Foot Rest is reasonably priced, so if you try and don’t like it, you’re not out a lot of cash.

It does offer some support in achieving better positioning in the shower and is easy to remove and store if you don’t want it hanging out in your shower the whole time. Also great for ladies to use to shave their legs while showering!

The Bad

The Single Locking Foot Rest doesn’t always “lock” and tends to slide around. It also doesn’t hold much weight – you’re better off with one foot (and most of your weight) on the tub floor or ledge. The foot rest will, however, help hold your leg up so you can achieve a better angle for sex. It’s also somewhat difficult to set up. Avoid if you have a tile shower – you can get it to lock well if you have a smooth wall to use – like in a fiberglass tub – but if you have tile and grout, it won’t work as well.

The Bottom Line

While your soap dish might be a better bet than the Single Locking Foot Rest, you can move this one around to where you need it. It’s not going to hold all your weight, but with some creativity, you can use it to prop your leg up for different angles during sex – or for shaving.

The Full Sex In The Shower Single Locking Foot Rest

Sex in the shower is incredibly fun and I have to say, when I saw the Single Locking Foot Rest, I got pretty excited. I started imagining all of the possibilities of different ways to have sex in the shower! The products are white, they’re 2.5 x 2 x 3.5 inches in dimension, and weigh about a pound each.

I bought two and could not wait to try them out, but when using them for the first time during sex in the shower, it was a pretty major let down. First off, they don’t hold much weight at all. I weigh about 120, and even with my partner supporting most of my weight, these things were sliding all over the place. Secondly, they sort of put a damper on the moment because we kept stopping the action to try to fix them. To be honest, the sex got much better when we just stopped trying to mess with them.

The Single Locking Foot Rest works much better on a smooth shower surface than it does a tile surface. The breaks for the grout in the tile causes air to get into the suction cup, making it slide around even more or possibly pop off. If you have a fiberglass shower or can place it somewhere on your tub, it may work better for you.

I didn’t want to give up after only trying once, so, on my own, I spent about 10 minutes getting them to really “lock.” It can be done, but only if you don’t mind putting the extra time and effort into it. Because this product allows you to get into some really randy sex positions in the shower, the extra effort is worth it. Also, this sex toy has a perfect companion – the Sex In The Shower Handle. The handle holds much more weight, so if you get both, you can simply use the it as an actual foot “rest” without trying to put all your weight on it.
