vamp gloves Kinklab Vampire Gloves

I have been looking for a pair of vampire gloves for a long time.  Most of the ones I have found are large and kind of boxy (ie: not form-fitting).  So I was very hopeful that the Kinklab Vampire Gloves from Tabutoys.com would be different.  And, they are!

These gloves are just like a pair of women’s sexy leather gloves.  They are size small, snuggly form fitting, and are made of gorgeous soft leather.  No one will know you are wearing vampire gloves until you dig your claws into them!

These vampire gloves feature prickly metal points on the fingers which are great for doing sensation play.  You can use them to softly rub over the skin to create a tingling, ticklish sensation.  Use a bit more force and they nasty pain tools used to scratch or pierce as you grab, rub or smack the flesh.  Use them to entice as a sensual reward, or to punish as a vicious weapon, leaving tiny vampire teeth marks in your bottom’s bottom to remind them of their misdeeds.

These are the best Vampire Gloves I have found so far on the market and I’ve been searching a long while.  Very hot, nasty and oh, so sexy!  Spanks!

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.

g rider Nexus G Rider

The G-Rider is a P (or G) spot toy made by Nexus, a brilliant sex toy company out of Britain.  They make a whole series of wickedly designed P-spot vibrating anal toys specifically for men.  And, it’s about time.  Next to the Aneros and Rude Boy, there isn’t much out there for excellent quality P-spot toys for guys.

I have found in my experience with P-spot toys, what is good for the Goose is usually also good for the Gander.  Meaning, P-spot toys for men are usually interchangeable as G-spot toys for women and visa-versa.  Not having a P-spot of my own I can’t tell you what it feels like there, but I can tell you how it works on the female G-spot.  But, first, a few details about the toy itself.

First of all, the G-Rider is shaped much like the Aneros toys, and has a hard core that keeps its shape.  However, unlike the Aneros which is constructed of hard plastic, the G-Rider is coated in the most sensual velvety silicone.  As soon as I pulled it out of its plastic box I wanted to rub it all over my body and holding it now I have the same urge.  It is very high quality silicone and smells so good you’ll want to eat it.  The texture reminds me of some exotic sci-fi creature’s sensual skin, and being bright pink, you could imagine that a strange hybrid penis of a mythical beast might look and feel like this.

The manufacturers have included clear instructions on how to use the toy as well as an illustration defining the parts of its design.  Shaped like an upside-down capital T, the toy features a handle at the bottom with a nubbed perineum stimulator on one side.  The main shaft is short and curved, with a rounded crooked finger that is the P-spot massager part.  On a woman, the finger acts as the G-spot massager and the perineum stimulator as the clitoral stimulator.  The base features the battery compartment and the control button, with 5 vibration settings.

For anal play, the instructions say to wash it (obviously) and suggest cleaning the anus with a douche beforehand.  To insert, use plenty of lube (water-based), relax and insert slowly.  Then you are free to turn on the vibe and ride the “waves” to orgasm, either by leaving it in place or rubbing it against the P-spot.

There are no instructions for vaginal (G-spot) penetration, so here are mine.  Empty bladder.  Apply your favorite water-based lube to the head of the crooked finger.  Insert.  Turn on and play.  The G-spot enjoys firm pressure and often drumming or rubbing, so do what feels best to you.  The way this toy is curved, the finger part feels exactly like the come-hither movement that is ideal for G-spot stimulation if you rock the toy just the right way.  It feels amazing and I have to say (despite being a toy designed for men) this is one of the best G-spot (for women) toys I have ever tried.  The curve is perfect for rubbing and once you feel the urge to squirt, for thrusting and drumming.  Also, the vibrations are fairly powerful and easily felt in this vibe.  Before, I have never really found vibration on my G-spot to make much difference, but here I really noticed it and know it aided in my stimulation and orgasm.

So, I rate this toy an A+ for G-spot stimulation, which just goes to prove that boy toys are fun for girls too.  I imagine this toy would also be stellar for guys as well.

You can find the Nexus G-Rider at TabuToys.com where they carry many different G-spot Vibrators.

dsc 0049 680x1024 Mary Jane is All Grown Up

Did I ever mention that I have a shoe fetish?  Ever since I used to play dress-up as a little girl and put on my mother’s way too big high heel shoes, I have loved shoes and boots of all kinds from my high-cut black Converse sneakers with the red laces, my pink satin ballet slippers with the rabbit fur lining, to my leather motorcycle boots, come fuck-me stiletto heals, and Wizard of Oz red sparkly Dorothy shoes.  Footwear just seems to complete what I am wearing, even if it is only my road-off army boots, what I put on my feet make a statement about who I am.  The shoes I love best, however, are doll shoes, or what are often referred to as Mary Jane’s.

I have two pairs of Mary Jane’s-a pair of flats and ones with a slight heel-but I have always wanted a pair of Black Platform Mary Jane’s.  These shoes are the perfect accessory for a schoolgirl outfit, or if you enjoy dressing up as a doll, as I do.  I just think they look pretty hot with whatever fetish outfit you’d want to wear, especially goth or alt looks.

These Mary Jane’s are made by Ellie Shoes who are leaders in the exotic shoe industry.  I have several other pairs of their boots and found them to be high quality.  These shoes are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time as well, so perfect for a fetish ball or scene.

You can pair these Mary Jane’s up with the traditional white knee socks or thigh highs for a schoolgirl look or do something entirely different.  I ordered a pair of Fence-net Stockings to go with mine and I think they look amazing together.  I love the fence-net stockings as well, as they are very thick and sturdy, so won’t snag or rip easily, plus they are so sexy as the large diamonds mold with the curves of your legs.

You can find these and other sexy shoes and stockings in the Fantasy Wear section of Tabu Toys, where they have many styles and sizes to fit any shoe or stocking fetishist!

How to Be a Dominant Diva
by Georgia Payne and Julie Taylor

dominantdiva How to Be a Dominant Diva

Ok, so who doesn’t want to be a Dominant Diva once in a while?  Even if you are submissive by nature, or like your partner to be the one in control, sometimes it is thrilling, fun, and empowering to switch the power exchange and bring a bit of unexpected excitement into a relationship.  This is what “How to Be a Dominant Diva” is all about.

This book is tremendously different than what I was expecting.  First, I thought by the title that it was a book that focused on D/s play.  And, while there is some spanking, bondage and blindfolding scenarios in the book, it is marketed towards vanilla heterosexual couples.  Second, I thought it might be one of those lame books that gives you stupid ideas and quotes on every page, like: “Tonight, try a blindfold!” or “Flavored lubes are a great way to spice up oral sex!”  But, this book is actually way deeper and more interesting than that.

First of all, the book is written by two fairly qualified Divas.  Julie Taylor is a writer for Cosmopolitan and Glamour and “has written over 100 sex and relationship features for major magazines”.  Georgia Payne is “one of America’s most prominent dominatrixes with a large clientele in both Los Angeles and New York.”  Both these women are long time friends and have put their ideas and experience together in creating this book, with 69 sexy scenarios you can use with your partner to add a bit of spontaneity and exhilaration into an otherwise “ordinary” love life.

I was actually impressed with the thought put into creating these erotic adventures, such as “Naughty Nurse,” “Treasure Hunt,” “Driving Miss Diva,” “Naked Sushi,” “Abduction Seduction,” and “Caught and Cuffed.”  Each scenario has a front page, then a pull out action plan to guide you through each encounter, detailing the props you will need to carry out your seductive quest.  The following is an excerpt from the book, courtesy of DominantDiva.com “Meet me at Halftime”.

There are a lot of inspiring ideas that will certainly give some fuel to your fire and get your partner’s motor running as well.  Each adventure uses the element of suspense and surprise to entice and seduce, which are techniques that many of us forget in our day-to-day lives.  Many are played out like games or scavengers hunts, in which your lover wins sex as the prize.  These sexual explorations are not just simple rolls in the hay but ideas that will turn each exploit into a sizzling “sexperience” and night to remember.

This book is a great activity book for those seeking ways to add more pleasure and excitement to their love life.  It’s a keeper and will give you lots of food for fodder to create your own unique sexcapades as well.
