Ravvenn said:Honestly, when I go to "toy stores" the other customers think I work there. It"s just my thing, I guess.
I"ve never owned one, but certainly wanted to. It was a gift from someone who clearly knows the way to my heart. They knew I wouldn"t get it for myself, and it showed up at my door today. I don"t know how, but as I was opening it, I shook it and took it to my room (my son was next to me). I"m glad I did, because that would have been so very awkward. He probably heard me cackling like a maniac, though. I was expecting packages today...of yarn and fabric. So when I heard the clunk, I double checked the box and something in me knew what it was (sex toy psychic?).
I probably would have been intimidated by a Lelo if it were my first toy. I took my exes sister to get her first toy (appropriate, I know, but someone had to do it). I got her a cute little lipstick toy. Not intimidating, relatively quiet, etc.. I"d just get her something small, probably for clitoral stimulation, and don"t say anything or push the topic. She"ll snatch it up the second you"re away. I think the lipstick vib was like $15.00.
Sutera makes a pretty nice one (bendable crystals) for ~$30.00; less if you shop around. It"s pretty, uh, penis-like (lol) but has nice power. Most women I know rarely use their toys for actual penetration and normally use for outside stimulation, the vibrators are just easier to hold than the smaller clit toys. I"m pretty excited for this one since it basically has a handle and the controls are kind of like a reverse trigger (like a gas pump, but with the button on the outer handle).
The texture of it is amazing! I have mostly silicone toys and you really have to clean them well (I read a few horror stories about them and bacteria and it scared me). I like things I can take apart and put in the dishwasher.
Sorry for being kind of inappropriate and derailing, but I"m actually doing so with intents of helping. I think all couples should have toys, and all women should own a vibrator or three. It really helps with stress and stuff!

Yeah they are a little clunky but its a sort of fair trade off given the punch it packs plus there are tons of attachments for them now.Ravvenn said:Too clunky, IMO. I recall getting one as a gift and honest to God, thought he really got me a legit massager. He created a monster (he"s also the same fool who got me my first designer handbag). I"m pretty sure he knew what he was doing when he got me the "massager" too, lol. I never got into Sex and the City, but saw one episode where the slut lady went in to Sharper Image or a similar store, to tell them her vibrator was broken. It was pretty hilarious.
For those of you that visit Rav IRL, bring paper plates and plastic utensils.Ravvenn said:I like things I can take apart and put in the dishwasher.
Don"t listen to her, look what she did to Zehn for not helping her clean up! LIESSilence said:For those of you that visit Rav IRL, bring paper plates and plastic utensils.
Bad analogy, it"d be more correct to ask if it was the Apple of dildos, Lelo is the brand name...Soygen said:Is Lelo like the iPod of dildos? Nice packaging.
Get a bullet type of vibro, that will get her started they are cheap and do the job(really quickly if she never used one before). If it is a cleanliness thing glass/pyrex dildos are the way to go(ebay has them super cheap). If you go glass be sure and get something a little thinner then she is use to because that have zero give and can cause discomfort on climax.Blazin said:I"m really trying to get my wife to let me get her a lelo but so far no luck. She"s never used a vibrator and I can"t really tell what her issue is. Do you own any other of the Lelo ones? Was thinking gigi or Iris. Help with a way to convince her to at least try it.
The main thing for toys that you"re using externally is powerandpower options. That"s why I always recommend theSuteraone (I did a quick Google, no idea if that"s the best deal). It has a turn-dial for the power and it is the most powerful one I"ve found for that price (our stores have one of every item open and on display to check out). Mine lasted about 5 years, and for $25.00, that"s a decent run. I just picked up a new one back in November or December (I was literally having to slam mine on the wall to "kick-start" it, haha). It would have lasted longer if I cared for it better (used cheap batteries, forgot to take them out, etc..).Tilord said:Anyone have any experience with "The Bodywand Original Massager" from Adam and Eves ?

I bought a vibrator from Spencers (bullet vibe) and it wasn"t strong enough for my wife. I was originally looking for a Hitachi but when I went into the store the girl told me this was what I was actually looking for... my wife was of course sitting in the car too embarrassed to go in.
I personally don"t like hard plastic or glass, it"s uncomfortable and I don"t want it so rough I risk desensitizing myself. The Sutera is beyond powerful and I can only turn it on high after I"ve pretty much gone numb (after 5+ O"s).Etoille said:hard plastic will get a hard to get off girl off EVERY time. materials like silicone etc dont necessarily transfer the vibration intensity the best (depends on where the device is - if its in the base and its a silicone you"re totally screwed but if its in the tip ie the one rav linked above youve got a more than a decent shot).
