bswish Bswish Bsoft

Last month I did a series of Luxury Sex Toy reviews as it has been a growing trend in the marketplace.  While looking for potential products to review, I came across the Bswish Bsoft rechargeable vibrator from Vibrator.com.  I have always been happy with the quality products I receive from Vibrator.com so I decided to try out the Bsoft.  I was also initially interested in this product because Bswish is one of the new sex toy companies on the market who are trying to go about doing things differently by making stylish, body-safe products targeted towards a chic, hip woman’s market.  So, plunge I did.

Sadly, however I was very unimpressed with the Bsoft when it arrived.  Although the packaging was nice and it is a rechargeable vibe (bonus) the vibe itself looked and felt very flimsy and cheap.  For a product that retails around $70, I was expecting much more “quality”.  Which brings me to a point to why I think sex toy reviews, or product reviews of any kind are so valuable.  Because I can’t hold and touch a product online, I rely heavily on what other consumers say about a product.  If I can’t read a book, I read other people’s reviews of it on Amazon before buying it.  The same goes with sex toys. I always read other sex toy reviewers’ product reviews before making a purchase of my own.

If I had of read an honest review of this product I would have known it was made of a very lightweight plastic (which makes me wonder why it is called a Bsoft?), like a child’s cheap “flying saucer” toy that I could easily crush or break.  I would have known that the design of the toy, while fitting well with the vulva, doesn’t stimulate the clitoris well at all and is almost impossible to place near the clit.  I would have also read that the vibrations are meh (subtle) and that it lacked the power that any good clitoral vibrator should have.  Also, it is impossible to not hit the controls while you are trying to use and position it, which turns it off constantly. So, in a nutshell, I would have learned it was useless for it designed purpose.  Maybe some kid would get a charge out of it pretending to fly it around the galaxy before they broke it, but for a woman wanting to masturbate this toy is a dud.

Moral of the story?  I know many sex toy stores don’t have the time to review each and every product they sell.  That is why I think it is valuable for them to have people to review their products, as well as for the consumers who are looking to buy these products.  There must be about a bazillion sex toys on the market, so how do you know what works or which one(s) to choose?

This was one of the reasons I got into reviewing sex toys in the first place.  I was often frustrated with my purchases of junky sex toys, toys that broke, didn’t perform as advertised, or those made out of crappy materials.  Soon after I started reviewing and while working in a brick and mortar sex toy shop, I was introduced to smelly jellies and the dangers of phthalates and other nasty chemicals used in sex toy manufacturing.  And, while some people like to put down what sex toy reviewers do and think they are only in it for free toys, I have always been passionate about doing honest reviews that I think help and educate consumers.  I don’t just review sex toys because it is a fad, I do it because I work in the adult industry and it is important to me to improve the quality of products sex shops sell and manufacturers make.  But, mainly I do it for myself and for consumers, because I want everyone to have happy orgasms, and be able to choose the best sex toys of quality that are suited to them.

So, if you ever have any questions about a certain product or sex toys in general, don’t be afraid to ask me.  I have reviewed over 500 products and if I haven’t reviewed that exact product, I can most likely still tell you quite a bit about it, or recommend another product you would like based on what you are looking for.

Okay, that’s my soapbox for today!

While I didn’t like the Bswish Bsoft, please do check out Vibrator.com as they carry many wonderful quality sex toys and clitoral stimulators for happy orgasms.

Editor’s Pick

  • Pink by EffinSara
  • Pink Lube is a silicone-based lube and contains only five ingredients: Dimethicone, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera, Dimethiconol, and Cyclomethicone. Vitamin E and aloe vera are generally soothing and nurturing for skin, and the other three are silicone polymers, which have a number of properties that make them ideal lubricants. Their molecules are too big to pass between the top layer of cells in your skin, much less penetrate cell membranes, so once you put them on they won’t be going anywhere. No absorption or anything. This makes silicone-based lubes longer lasting than their water-based counterparts

    Note: I get a special tingle when people explain ingredients of lube, I’m not sure why. Maybe because it doesn’t always happen, or maybe because science gives me a happy. Either way, I like it. Also, while I do love snark, there is something to be said for negative reviews which showcase the fact that personal preference ties in to the dislike of a product rather than negativity toward the product itself. On both cases, this review is a winner.

Editor’s Pick

  • Eros and Isis Leo by Domina Doll
  • Their line of sensual adult toys are made from 100% silicone and are exquisite objects d’art. With names like Lancelot, Cleo and Leo the Lion, their inspiration lies in mythical eroticism and fervent fantasies. Each erotic object is disguised as a fine art collectable and resemble antiqued silver, jade or gold chess pieces or figurines.

    Note: Every once in a while a toy comes along that simply takes my breath away, and I just can’t resist making it EP for the week, and this was one of those. There are tons of other amazing reviews this week, though too, it was difficult to choose!

ooh la la rabbit Ooh La La Rabbit by NookiiToy

NookiiToy is a company owned by two women who first came out with a game called Nookii whose purpose was to inspire “intimacy, discovery and curiosity with a great big dash of playfulness”.  The game was fairly successful, so they took that philosophy and created a whole line playful sex toy kits that combined an individual toy in the distinctive NookiiToy packaging with complementary products and role-playing cards to spice it up a bit.  Some of the kits they have developed include “In the Mood for Love”, the “Weekend Fun Collection” and the “Slap & Tickle” kits.  Today I am reviewing the Ooh La La Rabbit.

I never did get into all the hype around Rabbit Vibrators myself and was never a fan of “Sex in the City”.  The Rabbit Habit (the one made famous by the show) was one of the first sex toys I ever owned.  And, while I enjoyed the Rabbit ears that stimulated the clitoris, I could never get the whole thing to work in unison as it was supposed to.  Since then I’ve owned a few other Rabbits with similar results.  So I’ve pretty well steered clear of Rabbits since then.

But, then I saw the Ooh La La Rabbit by NookiiToy while browsing the TabuToys.com website.  I wanted to try something from Nookii, and felt I was ready to try a Rabbit again.  I loved the packaging, the philosophy behind the toy, that fact that it was designed by women and even the name itself.  And, I since I am someone who never says never, I took the Nookii Ooh La La Rabbit plunge.

The Ooh La La Rabbit comes packaged in this cool oblong tube-shaped cardboard box with a pretty minimalist Art Nouveaux-style line drawing.   It has a little ribbon on top which allows you to pull the top cover off and see the toy kit inside.  The Ooh La La Rabbit comes with a pearl colored Rabbit, a pink blindfold that is satin on one side and fuzzy on the other, a “do not disturb” sign, about 20 “suggestive experience cards and tips” for using your kit, as well as a little circular pamphlet for usage and features.  The tips are pretty cute and give you ideas for ways to touch yourself with the toys and various role-playing scenarios you can try with your partner.  I love the blindfold; it is so cozy and would be the perfect kind to sleep in to get your “beauty” rest.

The Ooh La La Rabbit is made of medical grade silicone so is body safe, with an insertable shaft of 5″ and a thick 1.625″ girth.  It is quite a bit thicker than most Rabbits you will find.  Both the penetrating shaft and the rabbit tickler are covered in sensation bumps for added stimulation, and one of the cards even suggests using the tickler to insert and flutter against the G-spot.  This was kind-of interesting and innovative so I tried it.  But, I’ll get to that in a moment.  The weirdest thing about this toy is that it takes a 9v battery.  I’ve never seen a sex toy take this kind of battery and they may be hard to find in some places.  In fact, while I was reading through all the card teasers and working myself up into a bit of a frenzy to try the toy, I went to insert the batteries thinking they’d be just a bunch of AAs, and realized I didn’t have the correct kind on hand.  That was a big downer and Nookii should include batteries with their toys, especially if they are a unique type that most people do have hanging around, just to avoid disappointment for the user.

So, I did get a 9v and popped that inside the Rabbit.  The 9v seemed powerful enough, yet not more powerful than 6 AAs.  The Ooh La La Rabbit has six vibration modes from straight vibration to various undulations, each controlled by different mode buttons.  There is no unique control for the shaft and ticklers alone, so each setting vibrates both simultaneously.  Also, there is only one speed, which is interchangeable with the modes, but unfortunately you can’t turn the vibe up to max.

I lubed the Rabbit up and first tried one of the suggestions, slipping the vibrating ears inside and positioning them toward my G-spot.  This was quite a feat.  The body of the toy is very close to the ears, so it was very hard to get the toy in that position, and if it had felt good, I wouldn’t have been able to keep it there long because it was so awkward.  But, basically the quivering ears stopped quivering once inside and I felt nothing.  So, I tried the quivering ears on my clit.  I had a barely-there experience that did nothing to stimulate me at all.  Next I tried the shaft itself, which as I said it quite thick.  But, it wasn’t the thickness that bothered me, it was the sensation bumps, that when rubbed repeatedly over my G-spot felt like mild carpet burn.  I can see how they might work to stimulate someone who doesn’t have a sensitive G-spot, but on mine it was very irritating.  Still I tried to get into it for a while, while trying to position the ears on my clit without any success.  So, I turned the ears around and let them stimulate my anus, which was the best way this toy worked for me personally.  After a while, realizing I was not getting turned on by any of the sensations I gave up.  This is one of the only toys I have ever tried that didn’t at some point give me an orgasm.

So, unfortunately, my quest for finding a Rabbit that would work for me was another fail.  This is a shame because I still love the blindfold, the cards, the packaging and the whole Nookii philosophy.  All I can say is that Rabbits, even if they are Ooh La La, are not made for me.  Still if, you love Rabbits and are looking for something with extra girth, you just may find the Ooh La La Rabbit perfect for you.  If you are not a Rabbit lover, NookiiToy still makes some very cool kits like the Weekend Fun Collection, Toys for Boys Kit and the Nookii Game, all of which you can get from Tabutoys.com.
