I’ve known a lot of men named Bob over the years, and they’ve often proved to be some of the nicest friends I’ve known.  So this prostate-stimulating toy from Lelo has quite a name to live up to!  Luckily, it passes the Bob test with flying colors: this friendly, perfectly-shaped little guy is a great anal toy and deserves a place on your bedside table.

  • Toy:  Bob (sent by Babeland.com for review)
  • Type: Anal toy, prostate stimulator
  • Manufacturer: Lelo
  • Material: Silicone
  • Price: $44
  • SMT rating: N/A

Everyone Could Use Another Bob in Their Life

Bob might just be your new best friend. This cute, flexible little prostate stimulator is just right for people looking to discover their (or their male partner’s) prostates. Its gently bent shape emulates the “come hither” motion one would use to stimulate the enjoyable little walnut-feeling spot in the male body.

As with many other Lelo products, the Bob is made from high-quality silicone, which means it is easy to clean with soap or disinfect by boiling. (Remember that this also means that it can’t be used with silicone lubes!) It’s 3 and ¾” long and about 1 and ¼” wide at its widest point, and has a flat ring on its end, making it easy to manipulate for play and remove afterward. Its moderately small size makes it non-intimidating for beginners, and the flat ring makes it nestle more comfortably in one’s cheeks better than most buttplugs, which have round flares, instead. This means that the Bob is comfortable to wear during other intimate activities, or just to add some spice to your day-to-day routines!

Overall, the Bob is a perfect anal toy for those with little-to-moderate experience with anal and prostate play.  Its soft velvet-brushed silicone is just the right texture, its got enough flexibility to allow it to slide in comfortably, and it’s a good size and shape for prostate stimulation or any other type of anal play.  Plus, its flat ring is flared enough to make it a safe anal toy, while being thin enough that the Bob can be worn comfortably during other activities (intimate or not).  Give him a try; you’ll make a great new friend.

Babeland’s Naked Lubricant is All-Natural and Smells Lovely

Babeland Products, Blog Entries, Lubes, Reviews
Aug 282010

From the Babeland Naturals line of products, Naked Organic Lubricant is a great, all-natural and body-safe lubricant for all your intimate needs. This moderately thick water-based lubricant has a unique, pleasant smell and taste, and got the thumbs-up from testers of both genders. Read on to find out more, and watch the video to see the pretty glass bottle it comes in!

  • Toy:  Naked Organic Lubricant (sent by Babeland.com for review)
  • Type: Lubricant, paraben-free, glycerine-free, vegan, organic, cruelty-free
  • Manufacturer: Babeland
  • Material: Water-based, all-natural ingredients (including aloe, vegetable glycerin)
  • Price: $12 for 4 oz.
  • SMT rating: N/A

Babeland's Naked Organic Lube Has an Enticing Aroma

From the moment I saw the bottle for the Naked Organic Lubricant, I was ready to love it. It comes in a beautiful clear glass bottle that uses a pump (my preferred method!) to dispense the gel-like water-based lube, so this lubricant immediately sets itself apart with its presentation. As one might guess from the name, it’s made from all natural, cruelty-free ingredients, and is free of nasty things like parabens and petroleum-based products.

Naked Lube is water-based, but has a moderately thick gel-like consistency that lasts awhile without rubbing off or soaking in. Since it’s not silicone or oil-based, it can be safely used with all toys and condoms. Both male and female reviewers reported finding the lube enjoyable for intimate use, whether solo or partnered.

What makes Naked Organic Lubricant unique, other than its presentation and body-healthy ingredients, is its smell! Naked has a smell that isn’t so strong as to be overwhelming, but is definitely noticeable. Unlike most lubes, it doesn’t go for an overly flowery smell, nor a sicky-sweet sugar scent. Instead, it has a pleasant green, herbal smell, as well as a mild sweet taste. So for people who enjoy lubes that have a nice smell and taste, Naked Lube is a great choice.

Rechargeable Magic Wand

Babeland Products, Blog Entries, Reviews, Toys
Aug 272010
I imagine that if I had a fairy godmother, she would show up with a vibrating kind of magic wand.  She wouldn’t get very far if it had an electrical cord on it.  So my fairy postal delivery person brought me this cordless wand-style vibrator from Babeland.com to review, just for you!  I keep wondering if the delivery people ever talk to each other about how I get so many sex toys, and, if so, are they jealous?  Anyway, on to more important things!

Rechargeable Magic Wand is a Little Quieter than the Hitachi and Almost as Strong

The Rechargeable Magic Wand is, as you might guess from the name, a cordless, rechargeable wand-style vibrator similar to the famed Hitachi Magic Wand. For a full compare-and-contrast session between this toy, the Hitachi Magic Wand, and the Mystic Wand, check out my recent video all about their differences.
The Rechargeable Magic Wand has a sturdy plastic body and a squishy silicone head.  The “head” portion of the wand can be removed for easy washing between uses.  It can be used as an outie vibrator, body massager, or–with the correct attachments–an innie or innie/outie combo vibrator.
Despite being a cordless, rechargeable vibrator, the Rechargeable Magic Wand is quite strong; make sure to use lots of (water-based) lube to keep its stimulation from being too intense!  It’s fairly quiet for its power, and can run for quite awhile on a full charge.  It also holds its charge well; our testers said that it still worked after a week or more away from its charger.  The one negative to this wand is that it can’t be charged indefinitely.  After reaching a full charge, it needs to be unplugged, or else the over-charging will damage the battery’s lifespan.  This makes the Rechargeable Magic Wand slightly less convenient than toys that can be left in charging cradles, but since it manages to hold its charge well after being unplugged, it isn’t a big problem.
For more information on how to use this toy (or any wand-style vibrator), check out the video above, and then the wand comparison video to figure out which one (or more than one!) matches your tastes best!

A few thoughts from Dr. Ruthie on sex-positive feminism (video)

Aug 272010

Fair and Feminist is hosting a powerful Blog Carnival for Young Feminists today!  I’m chipping in with my thoughts on sex-positive feminism (the short version).  It’s so important for people of all genders to continue to question, critique and work toward a context in which we can all say YES to pleasure, intimacy and sexual well-being.  Ah yes, and my pup barks his greetings from the background!

Dr. Ruthie Compares Vibrating Wands (Video)

Blog Entries, Pleasure, Sex Ed You Can Use
Aug 272010

I’ve been reviewing away this week, with a new review to be posted soon on a fun, rechargeable and powerful wand vibrator and it seems like the perfect time to do something a little different!  In this video I compare and contrast two newer wand vibrators (one battery powered, one rechargeable) with the original Hitachi Magic Wand.  Strength, sound, and power are all discussed so check it out!

In spite of the pros and cons of each, and the newbies do have some very good attributes, I suspect most Hitachi owners will tell you that they’ll never throw away their first (and strongest) love. And who said we have to own just one type of wand?
