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.

sexlittlepole1 My Sexy Little Pole Professional Dancing Kit

Summer’s over.  And, this is the time of year that I try to find some alternative ways to exercise like join belly dance, Pilates and yoga classes.  But I live way in the country and there are not many interesting fitness classes available in my area.  I could sign up for erotic dance and pole dancing classes in the city but that’s two hours of driving there and back each time.  So, this year I decided to try out My Sexy Little Pole—Professional Dancing Kit from TabuToys.com.

My Sexy Little Pole comes in a long tube with the pole in three sections, hardware to attach it to your ceiling and floor, an instruction book and an instructional DVD.  The pole is simple to assemble and fits ceilings 7 ½ feet – 8 ½ feet.  My ceiling is actually just slightly over 8 ½ feet, so I have the pole extended to the max, yet it is still fairly sturdy.  The pole is constructed out of stainless steel and will hold up to 200 lbs, which I checked and got my partner to climb it.  He’s about 200 lbs.  It says that some shaking and movement on the pole is entirely normal and you do experience that.  They also warn you not to use it while intoxicated, probably a good tip!

As soon as I set it up I wanted to use it right away, so it does inspire you to get active.  I set it up in my office so I can take a break from sedentary sitting at the computer, and start dancing around the pole for a ½ hour each day.  Its pretty fun and I don’t feel like I’m exercising, even though my body feels the effects of it afterwards.

So, the first night after I had “erected” my pole, I put the instructional DVD in.  The girl in the video, Kate, is very fit and looks like she is most likely a professional pole dancer or instructor.  She shows you an entire routine, and then parts of it, so you can learn the basic moves.  The DVD is fairly amateurish, as the sound quality is terrible in some parts with the music blaring so loud you can’t hear her instructions.  Thanks goodness you can watch her and follow her moves, but I wasn’t impressed with this DVD.  It’s too bad they didn’t take the time to make a good quality DVD to go with the pole as otherwise, this would be an awesome product.

You can basically follow what she is doing however, as she shows each moves several times so you can try it as you watch.  Later on in the DVD she shows you some more advanced moves as well.  Most of the moves are simple, and require coordination rather than strength, so anyone could learn these.  I could also do one of the pole slides right away which was encouraging.  A few of the more advanced moves will take practice, and time as I build up the strength in my body and loose a few more pounds.

My Sexy Little Pole is a great pole for beginners and experts who want to try some erotic pole dancing right in their own home.  I have read that it is one of the sturdiest poles out there, next to Carmen Electra’s pole, but it is much cheaper.  I haven’t tried Carmen’s pole so can’t verify which is better, but can recommend My Sexy Little Pole as a good quality, strong pole that will get you started right away, in a matter of minutes.

Erotic Dancing for your Lover

With My Sexy Little Pole, I also got “The Better Sex Guide to Erotic Dancing” DVD from Sinclair Institute so I could learn some other basic moves for erotic dancing.  This DVD doesn’t teach pole dancing, but erotic striptease, however I thought it would teach me a few things that I could apply to pole dancing.

This DVD wasn’t what I was expecting. It begins with a dance instructor (Carmen, but not Carmen Electra) who has a class of “real women” to whom she teaches a few erotic dance moves.  The classes are pretty short and don’t really teach you a lot.  You learn the basic strip-tease “walk”, stretching, floor work (like crawling on the floor) and how to use some props, but nothing really specific as in moves.  Then you watch the “real women” try these out themselves on their “real partners”.  They do their routines, which are fairly amateur, and then the rest is a soft-core sex scene.  I was like—Whoa! Wait a minute!  I thought this was a dance instruction DVD?  Well, it is but mostly it’s about erotic seduction and features soft-core porn.  The one thing I did like about this DVD as it showed women of all shapes and sizes doing an erotic striptease, so if you can body issues, you might be inspired by seeing the plump girl do her routine which was the best one of the bunch.  So, other than that, I wouldn’t say this DVD has any redeeming value and you certainly won’t learn too much erotic dancing from it, so fairly disappointing.

I do recommend My Sexy Little Pole however, and you can get it and “The Better Sex Guide to Erotic Dancing” DVD from TabuToys.com under Swinger’s Lifestyle Products and Erotic DVDs.
