What I'm Talkin' About This Week

2009-04-20T15:27:00.000-07:00

Podcast II is up and live - check it out if you dare! This week Joe and I discuss ways to introduce toys into your relationship. So if you've been curious about this very topic, but at a loss as to how to go about it - just give us a listen. Perhaps some of these ideas will work for you!

One of the toys I mentioned in this week's podcast is the very fabulous California Exotics Sapphire Remote Control Vibrating Thong. The remote control works from 15-20 feet and it's a fun (and oh-so-frisky) way to introduce toys into your relationship without having to say much at all. We've bundled it here with a value-pack of classics that will keep things humming well into the night - and for nights to come!

Podcastin'

2009-04-16T15:15:00.000-07:00

It's the 21st century - yo - and as such, we are podcastin' for the masses! You can search for "sex toy blog"* and find us on itunes, or you can just stream the podcast from here.

If you like what you hear, feel free to rate us, give us feedback, or ask about future podcast topcis - we are here to give the people what they want. So far, the people want podcasts!

* If you are curious to hear more about products mentioned on the podcasts, please let me know. For starters, here is the Basic Silver Bullet I recommended on podcast episode one.

Fab Little Item - Fab Little Price

2009-04-03T13:55:00.000-07:00

Who doesn't like to find a good deal? I know I do - so I am passing along info on this fab little item - the Doc Johnson Blueberry 7-Speed Vibrator. We are currently offering this bad boy for $4.99 - a great price for a nice basic toy - the kind every modern gal should have in her toybox.

This vibe is versatile, has control buttons conveniently located on the bottom of the unit and takes 2 AA batteries - how much easier can it be? It's great for rounding out an already impressive toy collection or a great starting point for beginners.*

Did I mention its cost - it's less than a footlong at Subway - a fab deal! Scratch that - at $4.99 it's not a deal - it's a steal!

*Hint to beginners - if the idea of a vibe is a wee bit scary to you, just remember you can always use it just like you would use a bullet or mini-mite massager - so relax and get going already!

Introducing Sexpert Joe

2009-03-11T16:01:00.000-07:00

No, I'm not talking about a new toy - I'm talking about our new employee! As you may know, I work at an online adult products retailer. We recently hired our very own in-house sexpert, I call him Sexpert Joe.

In addition to maintaining our company blog - http://blog.sextoyblog.com/ - and beefing up our product listings, Sexpert Joe is also interested in hearing about what the people are interested in! Do you have a question about toys? Send them to the sexpert via his blog!

To entice your opinions - we have started a cool new program - he will send you a free product in exchange for hearing your opinions and thoughts - kind of like a customer review, but you don't have to pay a cent! Simply send sexpert Joe an email with your mailing address, and your toy preference (for ladies, for gents, or for couples) - a toy will be (discreetly) shipped to you for your enjoyment. Once you've tried it - send your thoughts to Sexpert Joe in an email, and your product review and thoughts may be featured in a future sextoyblog post!

FREE STUFF! FUN STUFF!

Feel free to forward this offer to your friends!

For those of you concerned about privacy - feel free to use a "handle" for your review, and for those of you who are my friends - that is why I'm having you contact Sexpert Joe directly.

Sexy Stuff on Oprah - It's On My Desk

2009-01-28T15:37:00.000-08:00

Let me tell you what - there's been a lot of buzz in the biz the past few weeks ever since Oprah had bonafide sexpert Dr. Berman on her show to talk about sexuality and toys.

The Berman Center has designed a range of toys for enhancing personal and couple's pleasure. One such toy is the Pomona - a palm-sized personal massager. It's a versatile little toy, also quite discreet - great for solo fliers as well as a great couples toy. Another great toy for couples is the Aurora Intimate Partners Kit. We bundled both of these items (and the rest of the items from the Berman Center's line that we carry) with a basic starter sex toy kit - a ladyfinger, a bullet and a mini-mite massager.

Bachelorette Poker Party

2009-01-22T15:04:00.000-08:00

As anyone who's seen the redneck wedding show on cable can tell you - brides come in all styles and varieties. As such, themes for bachelorette parties are also plentiful. Perhaps your friend, the bride, is not a "Stumble drunkenly out of a bar at closing time with her lifesaver t-shirt successfully denuded of all lifesavers" kind of gal. Maybe she is more of a poker night kind of gal.

Well, grab your visors and whiskey drinks ladies, because with a deck of hot studs like these there's no need for a bachelorette poker night to be anything less than a titillating night to remember!

This deck can be used for any card game that uses the standard 52 cards - or invent your own party games. As an added momento to remember the evening by, let guests select their own "winning hand" to take home at the end of the evening. (The single cards make a great bookmark - you'll have to believe me on this - I'll never forget that bachelorette party!)

Yes, It's Been A While!

2008-12-18T19:24:00.000-08:00

Hey cool kittycats - it's been a while. I have not been writing about the sexy stuff on my desk - because it's been busy flying off my desk and out to all the happy, anticipatory customers. Thanks to all you happy customers for that!

Well, all that is changing! I wanted to draw your attention to the great deals and steals - we are listing new ones every day - on our Amazon.com store. Do YOU like a bargain? I know, me too! Everybody digs a good bargain, especially when they are THIS GOOD.

The scoop is this, we are doing a lot of closeouts, moving inventory out of our warehouse so that we can move lots of fun new inventory into the warehouse in the fun new year coming up. So c'mon, do your part, and help us help you have an oh-so-happy New Year's Celebration of your own.

You Don't Know Jack - Rabbit!

2008-10-06T15:41:00.000-07:00

We have created a delightful toy kit including the fabulous Jack Rabbit vibrator by Cal Exotics. This Jack Rabbit Kit includes every basic you need to start out (or continue to round out) your budoir toy collection. Along with trusty Jack, you get the classics - an adjustable speed bullet, a mini mite, and a multi-speed ladyfinger vibe. (And what gal can have too many of those around?)

SO, if the economy has you down, if you're looking for fun activities to do in the comfort and privacy of your own home, consider picking up this pleasure pack as a treat to yourself!

Lingerie Screaming Deal Alert!

2008-09-22T15:55:00.001-07:00

Like our toy collection screaming deal I posted last week, here is another fabulous screaming deal - quantities are limited, so when it's all gone, it's gone:

This is our Shirley of Hollywood/Fantasy Lingerie 6 Piece Assortment. (This is something I would buy for myself if I had an reason whatsoever to do so.) Think of it as a fabulous one-size-fits-most, boxed lingerie, hoisery, sexy thongs, etc grab bag of fun.

If you want to beef up your party favors for a bachelorette, home-party or you just like to stock up on things when you see a good deal, I'd highly recommend. All items are high quality and have nice packaging, good for gifts!

If you've been looking for a way to spice things up in your long-term relationship, this assortment is a fun way to get a bunch of new, sexy things to wear to bed. If you are in a new relationship and want to keep things spicy - this is a good option for you as well. I suppose it's even a good option for your hope chest if you're still looking for the right person.

Hmmm, maybe I have just given myself a reason to pick up one of these 6 piece assortments...

Screaming Deal Alert!

2008-09-17T15:46:00.000-07:00

We have created a listing on Amazon to clear out a variety of toys and make way for new products!

Are you thinking "who cares?" or "What does this mean to me?" Well, if you are, here's the skinny: it means you can get yourself a screaming deal on an assortment of top brand (Doc Johnson) toys. Our Doc Johnson 6 Piece Kit is an assortment - think grab bag - that gets you 6 items for $5 apiece. If you're thinking of hosting a bachelorette party, girls' night out (or in) or just want to get a head start on some naughty stocking stuffers, you'll want to pick this up as soon as possible. Heck, while you're at it, buy one for yourself, why not?

Quantities are limited, and when they're gone, that's it.

Keep Things Smooth

2008-09-16T15:53:00.000-07:00

Ah, autumn is in the air, and unfortunately with it comes a chill, and a return to wearing long pants and tights. With all that covering-up going on, sometimes things in the shaving department can get a little lax. I am here, however, to help you battle the urge to let your legs go feral this fall - maybe all you need is to mix-up that shaving routine.

What better way to mix things up than to try a fabulous new product like Sliquid's Smooth Shave Cream - unscented if that's what you like, or better yet, in an invigorating scent like Grapefruit Thyme. Developed in the US for women with sensitive skin, this product is all-natural, glycerin and paraben-free, was not tested on animals and is a perfect all-over shaving cream. Use it wherever and whenever you might feel like shaving.

So this fall, don't let the weather influence your hygiene habits - keep things smooth - Sliquid Smooth!

Posh and Modern - the Tuyo

2008-09-15T15:41:00.001-07:00

Ladies, I know we like to fancy ourselves posh and modern from time to time (or if you're like me, make that most of the time.) Posh and modern gals need posh and modern accessories - and the bedroom is no exception!

So if you're ready for something completely different (but the same in all your favorite ways) consider the Tuyo by Big Teaze Toys. It is a perfectly round ball shape - not too big to hold in one hand, not too small to get the job done. The silicone band around the middle makes it easy to grip, and also makes it look sporty and futuristic.

So forget the past - if you're looking for the posh modern toy of the future my friends, look no further. With the Tuyo, the future is now!

Paris J'taime!

2008-08-29T15:54:00.000-07:00

Forget all about your other toys - you'll always have Paris with the Big Teaze Paris Rubber Ducky (shown here in violet.)

The Paris Duck has all the function that the other Big Teaze rubber duckies have, but with an extra splash of style - from the (removable) feather boa to a fancy beak-crystal (a la nose ring) you'll see that the Paris Duck is a step above the rest.

All Big Teaze toys are perfect for bathtime play - waterproof, whimsical and innocently nondescript. You won't worry about what your guests think if they see it left out on the side of the tub. So go ahead, and the next time Calgon takes you away, remember, you'll always have Paris!

One Pump, Two Pump!

2008-08-26T15:51:00.000-07:00

Forget breast pumps that are designed to pump milk for babies - nothing titillating about that! When you want to perk up the girls for a night out on the town (or even better, for a romantic and sensual night IN) what you want is a dual breast pump that gets the job done in one quick step.

If this sounds like something for you, the Doc Johnson Dual Breast Pump is just the ticket. Its gentle suction arouses both breasts and nipples at the same time. Also, you get that telltale pertness - call it what you like: nipping out, headlights on, both guns drawn - saying without words exactly what you want to say.

So Bright And So Orange!

2008-08-25T15:44:00.000-07:00

Pelvic exercise balls are a hot product - and for good reason! I know I've talked about them before - they help you do Kegel exercises and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. In turn, stronger pelvic floor muscles give you a better experience in the bedroom - good times!

So, if you haven't jumped on the exercise balls bandwagon yet, these fabulous bright orange exercise balls are just the ticket - after all, they were developed and endorsed by sexpert Sue Johanson (of Talk Sex with Sue Johanson.)

I've Always Liked This Phrase

2008-08-20T15:44:00.000-07:00

Shunga's line of aphrodisiac oils are a great way for couples to spice things up in the bedroom. They feel, smell and taste great. Plus, the flavors have great names - my hands-down favorite is the Shunga Orgy of Grapes Aphrodesiac Oil.

It makes me think that should be the proper term for a cluster of this succulent fruit - you know, like a pride of lions, a murder of crows and an orgy of grapes. And what could conjure up sensual images quite like the picture of one lover feeding another from the orgy of grapes in their hand.

As with all Shunga products, this comes in a beautiful cannister and is perfect for gift giving. So go ahead, get sensual and hop on the orgy of grapes bandwagon!

Paint It On, Lick It Off

2008-08-19T15:59:00.000-07:00

That's right kittycats - I'm talking about Shunga Chocolate Body Paint. Beautifully packaged in a sweet rounded bottle, this comes with its own special "brush" for easy application. The brush is washable, so you can use it until you run out of chocolate paint.

Paint some chocolate swirls and hearts where you want some attention from your lover - or write a frisky message, instructions or words of endearment.

If you are a chocoholic, don't hesitate to use the paint on your special friend - decorate and tease! This delicious chocolate body paint also makes a great shower or bachelorette party gift.

Sexy Vacation

2008-08-04T16:03:00.000-07:00

Hey there - Sexy Stuff On My Desk is taking a sexy vacation. I'll be back in two weeks - relaxed, refreshed, and ready to tell you all about the stuff crossing my desk!

Celebrate Good Times!

2008-08-01T14:00:00.000-07:00

C'mon!

Everyone knows that toys enhance alone time as well as when you're feeling frisky with your honey. Any time is a good time for the celebration bullet massager by Sutera Toys. Whether you're giving it as a gift* or just splurging on a new toy to treat yourself, you'll love the festive look of this traditional bullet vibe.

*It's never too early to start thinking about stocking stuffers!

Girls' Poker Night

2008-07-31T16:00:00.000-07:00

Spice up your next poker night with the girls and whip out this sexy deck of male nudie playing cards. You'll have fun dealing out the eye candy and everyone will enjoy the hunks in their hands! This is a great gift for gals at any age - and sure to generate giggles.

These cards also make a great addition to bachelorette parties - use them for regular card games, or dole them out as "prizes" or "points" - the gal with the most hunks in her hands wins!

Out with the Old, In with the Nude

2008-07-30T15:21:00.001-07:00

Whether you're getting ready to go back to school or looking to freshen up your regular wardrobe for the next season, it's a good time to take inventory of what's going on in your stocking drawer. While quality hoisery lasts for several wears, you probably won't feel quite as sexy in stockings that have snags, pills or other obvious signs of wear and tear.

So, spoil yourself with some brand new basics like these fabulous Extreme Hoisery nude fishnet stockings. If you're more of a tights kind of gal, check out the Leg Avenue spandex fishnet pantyhose in nude - a classy and subtle way to let your sassy side show.

Don't forget to pick up some nice stockings for special occasions - like these nude/black Cuban heel stockings by Extreme Hoisery - ooh la la, now that's fancy!

Nips

2008-07-29T14:53:00.000-07:00

When you're looking to perk up an outfit and get a little extra attention don't forget that your nipples contribute to your overall sexiness. To create fuller, perky nipples that stand at attention, try a few pumps of the California Exotics Swedish Erotica Nipple Pump Bulb. Included with the pump are some nipple erection rings to keep the perky effect going.

So give yourself a squeeze and perk those nips up! When they're standing at attention you'll be amazed at the way you'll get noticed.

Fishnets Are Fun

2008-07-28T15:18:00.000-07:00

There's something about fishnets - they dress up in a classy way, they make a statement in a sassy way, and they can really say S-E-X in a trashy, splashy way. It's all in the attitude (and outfit) with which you wear them!

Take a nice pair of nude fishnet hose, for example, these say "Yes, I am wearing stockings - but I am in no way uptight!" The subtlety of nude stockings lends a bit of class and mystique to an outfit.

For an added bit of sass, try pairing your favorite LBD (That's Little Black Dress) with a racy pair of black suspender fishnet tights - the cut-outs make these a sexy choice for your own party *after* the party.

If what you really want to do is pull out all the stops, mix your outfit up with a bold colored stocking like these red crotchless fishnet pantyhose. Whether you wear them as a contrast to your outfit, or to complete a head-to-toe monochromatic effect, you will be sure to make a splash!

Reading In Bed

2008-07-25T14:58:00.000-07:00

Say it best by saying nothing at all - just don this cute and sexy mesh nightie with the phrase "Please Me" and slip under the covers. Whether your bedmate is a bedtime reader or not, this type of light reading is sure to start the night on the right note.

When you think about it, what better bedtime reading is there?

(Looking to make things even spicier? How about a little bit of erotica as a naughty bedtime story - take turns reading aloud, of course.)

Sporty Little Number

2008-07-24T13:26:00.000-07:00

Fun Factory, a German company, makes really innovative and cool looking toys. One of their best-selling models, a waterproof silicone vibrator, is the Layaspot. It has a contoured two-tone design and looks really sporty.

The Layaspot comes in a variety of colors. In fact, Fun Factory is known for its bright color combinations as well as its practice of mixing things up and regularly changes the colors of its most popular toys. The Chocolate/Vanilla Layaspot is one of Fun Factory's newest color combos - same great Layaspot design and function in fresh contemporary colors.

Don't like the chocolate/vanilla color scheme? There's always the classic Black/Silver Layaspot which has been around forever. That, or wait a few months - Fun Factory never ceases to bring out new color choices for its customers.

Thumper - the 10 Function Thunder

2008-07-23T15:00:00.000-07:00

Doc Johnson's Thumper vibe is a ten-function powerhouse of a toy. The curved tip is perfect for g-spot stimulation. Besides that, it's cute and powerful - but with 10 functions to choose from, you'll always find the perfect setting to suit your mood.

I like the frosted finish of the translucent plastic of this toy - it's modern, clean and elegant. The Thumper comes in a variety of colors and two different lengths - like this fabulous 7" Purple Thumper. (Or if you're looking for a more discreetly sized toy, perhaps the 5" Red Thumper would better suit your needs.)

There's Nothing Like A Classic

2008-07-22T16:05:00.000-07:00

And there's no personal lubricant that's as classic as trusty, dependably slippery KY Jelly. It's been on the market, smoothing the way for lovers for years. Doctors recommend it. It's a household name. Trust a brand that's been trusted for years, and ask for it by name - KY Jelly!

Who Wants a Backrub?

2008-07-21T15:44:00.001-07:00

One of the best ways to relax from a hectic day and reset your mood for romance is a bubble bath - or maybe even better - a back rub! It's relaxing, intimate and feels oh so nice.

Back rubs can be a great way to relax your partner and get in touch with your sensual side. Try using a luxurious massage oil. But don't stop there - back rubs aren't just for lovers - any of your loved ones would consider it a treat. All those back rubs can make your hands tired, though, and that's where the power tools of back massage come in.

This Wanachi duo contains a large unit for powerful back massage vibrations. It's rechargeable so you don't have to worry about replacing batteries on a regular basis - just charge it back up and it's ready to go again. The "wittle wanachi" in this duo is a perfect battery-operated travel companion.

Bubble baths are nice, but I say bring on the back rubs!

Keep It Clean

2008-07-18T14:42:00.000-07:00

Whether you're flying solo or whooping it up with your mate, let's face it - things can get a bit messy. That said, when you're basking in the afterglow, you're probably not thinking "how can I keep things clean?" Cleaning seems like a chore. Snuggling up under the covers is so much more appealing.

Well, if you keep a packet of the Pjur Med Clean wipes by your bed, you can have your cleanliness and your snuggling too. Safe for bodies, safe for toys - these gentle wipes keep things clean (and bacteria-free) and are the picture of convenient.

So go ahead, have a good time - have a GREAT time - and with your packet of Pjur Med Clean wipes, you can keep it clean, too!

If You Like Pina Coladas...

2008-07-17T15:38:00.000-07:00

...or if you like anything that will remind you of hot, tropical vacation sex, you should think about picking up a few naughty odds and ends to make the memories last.

Perhaps you'd like to start with a taste of the tropics - some Pina Colada (with rum) flavored edible underwear for him and also for her. Delicious!

You're feeling more sun-drenched already, I can tell, but don't stop there when you can further fire up your lover and get things really steamy with the lovely (and paraben free) Sliquid Pina Colada water-based lubricant.

All that's left to do after that is pick up the phone, call room service and savor your pina coladas before getting caught in the rain.

Props

2008-07-16T16:59:00.000-07:00

Part of the fun of playing dress-up games with your sweetie is that you get to put on another persona and let out a side of you that doesn't normally show.

Perhaps it's a persona who wears something formal while having her toenails painted.

Or maybe you're naughty! Very, very naughty!

Who knows, maybe you're a lion tamer? (Or even sometimes the frisky lion?)

It's entirely possible that you just like to tell lies!

Wherever in fantasy-land your imagination takes you, with a few props you and your playmate will be on your way to making some steamy memories.

Slip -n- Glide

2008-07-14T16:12:00.000-07:00

ID Glide, that is! This mighty popular personal lubricant is water-based and comes in a LARGE 17.6 pump container* for all your slippy slidey needs. Use it for traditional lubrication purposes, or take a tip from the customer reviewer and try it as a massage lotion. Or, pair it with a vinyl bedsheet and challenge your sweetie to your own private slip -n- slide party - 17.6 ounces gives you a lot of options for fun without having to worry about running out of lube.

*ID Glide also comes in smaller containers if the 17.6 ounces is more than you need. You may wish to purchase the travel-size bottle and then refill it as necessary.

Respect and Protect

2008-07-11T15:29:00.000-07:00

Okay, here's the deal, I work at a place called condomsstore.com, and I have yet to talk about this signature item, so here goes nothin'.

I have heard people say they're "just not that into condoms" like it's the same thing as an ex-girlfriend, country music or cilantro. However, I have yet to hear someone say they are actually into unplanned pregnancies, HIV/AIDS, herpes and the like. It seems a pretty reasonable equation to me:

Into sex + Not into babies and/or diseases = Into condoms + Into self respect

Using the information above, I'd say there are a lot more people who are into condoms than they originally thought. If you are one of those people, but you are not sure you've found the kind of condom that you like - perhaps an assorted variety pack will help you find that perfect fit. (And have a lot of fun figuring out your favorites to boot!)

What? No Sexy Stuff? Who's a Tease?

2008-07-10T16:06:00.000-07:00

That's right - NO sexy stuff crossed my desk today - that is, no sexy stuff that I can link to this blog. That's because a LOT of sexy stuff that hasn't been posted online yet - NEW sexy stuff is comin' down the pike. All kinds of fabulous sexy new things crossing my desk all day long, and not a link for you - yet!

So in the meantime, here is a link to our web store, where you can find your own sexy stuff to put on your desk, or wherever...

Enjoy!

Flishy-Flashy, Dicky-Licky Light-Up Lollies

2008-07-09T15:50:00.000-07:00

It's a candy treat - a lollipop shaped like a dickie. Press the button on the side and the LED inside flashes. Since the whole thing is clear plastic and clear candy - the effect is hilarious.

Get one for a bachelorette, or hand out as favors to all the ladies on your girls' night out. This also makes a funny stocking stuffer or grab-bag gift - sure to be a surprise hit with anyone who has a sense of humor (and a sweet tooth.) Several of these silly novelty pops crossed my desk today. Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, it will cross yours too!

G-G-G-G-Goodness Me, Where's the G?

2008-07-08T15:56:00.000-07:00

If you've been past a magazine stand in this lifetime, chances are you've heard of the mysterious and elusive "G-spot." The articles contained within guarantee they'll help you find it (and then of course you will live happily ever after, right?)

If the mythology and legend of the G-spot were not so grand, I doubt it would generate the anxiety-fueled hunt. As it is, we live in a world of G-spotted hoopla. But what's the big deal? Well, the big deal is that it *is* a big deal - a big freakin' deal of nerve endings that can enhance your ladyship's enjoyment of the lovemaking experience.

A good curved-tip toy is the proper equipment for spotting your G-spot. These come in a variety of shapes which, of course, provide for a variety of sensations. Use it by yourself or for explorations with your partner. For scouting tips, there are many to be had, so pick up a magazine or let Google be your guide.

**Hint, for an optimal G-spotting experience, it's always a good idea to have some nice lube at the ready.

Fancy European Design

2008-07-07T15:35:00.000-07:00

There's something about the Swedish sensibility when it comes to design - the sleek lines - form and function rolled up into one high-quality package. If you like fancy European-designed items, you will definitely want to check out the LELO brand Nea. It's rechargeable, powerful and very sleek. The rounded curves of the massager fit perfectly into your hand. All this, and it's quiet, too.

Like most fancy European designer items, this is very high-quality (and therefore more pricey than its cheap counterparts.) The LELO company stands behind its product, so unlike many personal massagers on the market - this has a 1 year warranty.

Stars & Stripes Forever

2008-07-03T13:50:00.000-07:00

Tease by Fantasy Lingerie has a number of themed his -n-her lingerie outfits, so it seemed only fitting that on this, the eve of our nation's Independence Day, I call attention to the His-N-Hers Stars & Stripes Lingerie Set.

Throw this little number on before your picnic and you'll be all set to light up your own fireworks after the sun sets. It also makes a naughty "Americana" themed gift for bachelorette parties, showers, hostess gifts and new-citizenship celebrations. Toss the set into an overnight bag or glove compartment for your weekend road trip - let your imagination loose, throw on a cowboy hat and start feeling independent!

Put on a Happy Face

2008-07-02T15:55:00.000-07:00

You know the song - "Gray skies are going to clear up..." - and the response is to put on a happy face. Not a tall order at all, if you are wearing the iGees Happy Face thong!

It's a cute novelty panty that is sure to get a laugh as soon as its cheerful yellow face is flashed. It also makes a great "gift of cheer" or stocking stuffer. My favorite gift idea is to buy the iGees Happy Face Posing Strap for him as well as the panty for her and put them together on the top of a co-ed bridal shower gift to the "happy couple."

Dainty, Dependable, Delightful

2008-07-01T14:25:00.000-07:00

We've all heard it before - it's not about the size of what you've got, it's how you use it. I'm referring, of course, to the Petite Bunny Rabbit Vibrator.

This adorable little vibe is more discreetly sized than most of the typical rabbits you find on the market. Its slender ridged shaft lets you control the motion and apply as much (or as little) pressure as you see fit. This vibe has a dial which lets you adjust to find the perfect level of vibration - every time.

(This is also a good toy if you want to introduce a rabbit into your relationship - it's best to start with something that won't cause an unfavorable comparison scenario for a partner with parts of his own.)

The Basic Bullet

2008-06-30T16:01:00.000-07:00

Everybody loves a classic, and what could be more classic than the basic silver bullet vibrating toy? It is simple, straightforward and does not intimidate. Not only that, but many women will tell you it's the first toy they owned - as well it should be! It's great for beginners, yet you'll find at least one or two in even the most well-stocked personal toybox. The bullet can be used privately or with a partner and has as many uses as your clever brain can dream up for it.

Another feature which sets the basic bullet apart as a classic toy is the adjustable speed. Moods change and the bullet's vibration power can be adapted to suit a variety of vibration needs.

So go ahead, pick up a bullet today - heck - pick up a handful and give them to your friends as party favors at your next bachelorette or girls'-night-out. You'll never go wrong with a classic.

More Pleasure Than Pain

2008-06-27T10:05:00.000-07:00

Most people I know would not describe themselves as "into pain" - yet there is a certain air of mystique and power that the idea of pleasure and pain. It seems sexy - and it can be.

The key is to ensure you continue to experience pleasure and not just pain. For this, a nice little PVC whip is just the ticket. Use it as a tickler (for pleasure) and also to deliver "lashes" (for pain) - the thongs on this whip are soft and pliable, and won't deliver so much sting that the pleasure ends.

Have some fun experimenting on your own arms and legs to see how many different sensations you can create with this one versatile little item. To enhance the experience for your partner, you may wish to pair this with a blindfold and some hand cuffs. To enhance the experience for yourself, you may wish to pair this with an outfit that means business.

Backdoor for Beginners

2008-06-26T11:02:00.000-07:00

Yes, that backdoor. Often people and couples are curious about this final frontier of taboo and not really sure where to begin. Doc Johnson makes a variety of products for posterior play, in fact, the selection can be a little overwhelming for beginners.

Fortunately, there is the Crystal Jellies 6" Anal Starter - it's for beginners, and more slender than a typical dong. Judging by the frequency with which this little beauty crosses my desk, I'd say it is a good place to start.

If you or someone you know is curious about "going there" but not sure where to start, I would recommend something like this anal starter. Also, I would recommend a lot of good lube such as the Sliquid Sassy Booty Formula and the advice of experts like the Guide to Getting It On (which is very comprehensive and covers this as well as a wide array of other topics.)

Use It or Lose It

2008-06-24T16:48:00.000-07:00

Ask any dutiful gym-goer and they will most certainly tell you - the way to keep and maintain muscle tone, strength and agility is to regularly work at it. And they are right! But what about the lesser-known pelvic floor muscles? The same principle applies - you've gotta work them!

Specifically, you need to do those Kegel exercises - clench and tighten the muscles and then relax them. Many ladies find it easier to isolate and work these muscles with some ben-wa balls, such as these lovely purple Deluxe Duotone Balls, which crossed my desk today.

Let's review why these exercises are every bit as important (if not MORE) as regular workouts:

Better ability to achieve orgasms (yay!)
Better continence especially when laughing or sneezing
Better intensity of orgasms (yay!)
Stave off internal organ prolapse
Orgasms, orgasms, orgasms (yay!)
Better ability to stimulate (and feel) your partner during intercourse
Did I mention - ORGASMS!

So grab yourself some "exercise equipment" like ben-wa balls* and start working on those orgasms, I mean kegel exercises ASAP!

*You'll find a wide array of kegel exercise equipment at www.condomsstore.com - just type in the keyword "kegel" to see our full selection.

Swirl It, Twirl It, Shimmy & Shake It

2008-06-23T17:02:00.001-07:00

Whether you are looking to heat things up or set the room on fire, a fun kit like the Showgirl Black Sequined Pasties and G-string is sure to help you make it happen. Have fun shimmying and shaking your best assets as the sequins catch and throw light. Twirl the tassels and be a tease. Whether you are performing your own burlesque or spicing things up with a personal striptease - this little set packs a lot of va-va-va-voom.Go ahead - tap into your own inner sexpot and give yourself license to shake it like you mean it!(This item is also a great gift idea for a bachelorette party, or a pole-dance-class party favor!)

Nothing Says Sexy Like Stockings!

2008-06-20T15:59:00.000-07:00

One of the ultimate ways to shout "Hey world, guess what, I'm sexy!" is to don a pair of stockings (and perhaps something racy or lacy to keep them in place.) This 3pc stocking set by Shirley of Hollywood does that nicely and for a very nice price.

Wearing stockings also a great way to convince yourself of this sentiment, should you ever not feel 100% sure. So go ahead, throw on some fabulous fishnet stockings and make your declaration to the world: "Hey world, guess what, I am one sexy mamacita!"

Tres Jolie for Your Trip

2008-06-19T14:53:00.000-07:00

The European-designed Natural Contours line of personal massagers are not for the dabblers - these are higher-end, higher-quality performance toys. Each one of their waterproof massagers has a very sculptural-looking ergonomic shape and a pleasant (not garish) modern color.

The Jolie - the smallest in the line, has a gently angled shape which is reminiscent of a curved finger. It is a happy robin's egg blue color. It's also nice and compact - the package claims "Perfectly discreet for travel" and I'd have to agree. You can toss this jolly little vibe into your suitcase or carry-on bag. Heck, go ahead and pop it in your pocket. It's ready to go anywhere, any time.

As any seasoned traveler will tell you, it's best to avoid mysteriously buzzing and vibrating luggage, so be sure you pack your Jolie and batteries separately!

Get into the Rabbit Habit

2008-06-18T16:00:00.000-07:00

Kick-start a new habit - the Rabbit Habit. Made by Vibratex, a leading producer of the finest toys around, this fine vibrator does - well everything! (This is THE toy from that famous episode of Sex in the City - you know the one where she would not leave her apartment? Try one out for yourself and you'll understand why...)

We have bundled the Rabbit Habit with a few of the basics that everyone should have in their toy collection - a mini-mite, a vibrating bullet, and the ladyfinger vibe. So fire-up your Rabbit Habit and pump up your toybox at the same time - you won't be sorry!

Play it Smooth...

2008-06-17T15:52:00.000-07:00

Sliquid Smooth, that is! Pair up your shower-shavin' with the fabulous Sliquid Smooth Shave Creme. I've already talked about how much I like the Sliquid brand - they are cruelty-free and kind to animals - but they also have some wonderfully lovely scents. Try their Grapefruit Thyme Shave Creme in the morning to awaken your senses. Cool off in the evenings with their Honeydew Cucumber scent, or, if you prefer flowers to fruits, there's the lilac-scented Spring Blossom Shave Creme.

Of course if you want a truly, deliciously bare shaving experience, Sliquid Smooth Unscented might be your choice.

For a fun summer "spa" gift pair up a bottle of the Sliquid Smooth with a bottle of Sliquid Splash Body Wash of the same scent, and you have a lovely (and cruelty-free) present that is sure to please.

Let Your Fingers Do the Walking

2008-06-16T15:22:00.000-07:00

When feeling frisky, it can be mighty fun to remember old phone book commercials and "let your fingers do the walking."

To get things started with a buzz, try the Frisky Fingers stimulating massager. It's clean and modern-looking and straps on to your finger of choice. Strategically placed nubs deliver the vibrations to wherever your fingers may roam. If friendly woodland creatures are more your style, perhaps the Sutera Finger Rabbit is the better choice. Again, the same principle - this cute little bunny-vibe straps on to your finger and the rabbit ears conduct the vibrations wherever you point them. Both of these items take watch-style batteries, which are included with the vibe.

If this sounds great but you're not ready to commit just yet, perhaps the disposable nymphO double finger fun 2-pack is right for you. These finger vibes are a curved half-moon shape and provide twice the fun you can have at one time (one for you and one for your partner!)

Swish and Flick

2008-06-12T15:50:00.000-07:00

It's an oldie but a goodie - the classic feather tickler. Use this little number to set the mood for romance and tease your sweetie into a tickle-induced frenzy. Or make a spectacular show of tickling yourself! You can even use it to punctuate your statements of intent to your partner - how you intend to use it and where and for how long... (meow!) Your only limit is the extent of your imagination.

The feather tickler is a boudoir basic and comes in a wide array of styles and colors - everyone should have at least one.

Games for Lovers Who Aren't into Games

2008-06-11T15:26:00.001-07:00

So many people associate the word "games" with unspoken expectations, tests of a partner's true feelings and high levels of melodrama. In actuality, those things are not games at all, they are the stuff of soap operas and they certainly aren't fun.

Actual games, the fun kind played between two people in a close relationship, are quite enjoyable! For example, this mini sex game is perfect for a weekend getaway. It's small, discreet and easily tossed into an overnight bag or glove compartment. Or hide it in your lover's briefcase or purse to build their anticipation for a later romantic encounter. The game features two kinds of fill-in-the-blank cards - foreplay and X-rated - such as "massage my _______" and "lick my _______" which can be mixed up as many times as the game is played. Further fun comes from the "probing questions" a partner can spin on the mini-wheel included in the game.

The game lasts as long as the two players can stand to keep playing, and everyone wins in the end. So I say save the drama for the daytime soaps - the sex game is what games in a relationship should be about - playful fun for all involved.

Boyshorts That Buzz

2008-06-10T15:59:00.000-07:00

For so long, everything was about the thong. Thong, G-string, butt-floss - there are a million ways to say it but unless you have embraced wearing the thong, you didn't have many sexy new options in the area of vibrating panties...

...until the boyshort's star began to rise. Now, not only are there many boy short options to choose from for regular lingerie - there are also vibrating panty options like the Doc Johnson Vibrating Boy Shorts. Woo! A hot little boy short panty packing the power of the Doc Johnson brand's buzz**. Can you feel the excitement?

So if you are one of the many gals who is tired of thong-only options, this vibrating panty is just the ticket. Throw them on to take yourself over the edge or "surprise" your partner as you sit on his lap - these boy shorts pack a buzz!

**The vibe is fully removable for every-day wear and laundry purposes.

See It, Feel It in the Dark

2008-06-09T15:54:00.000-07:00

Today in the course of my regular work, the Omazing Glow in the Dark Ring crossed my desk. I think this product is a much better buy than the disposable one-use vibrating rings in that this little item was designed for multiple uses. It even comes with refill batteries - double your pleasure, double your fun!

Vibrating rings are a great way to mix things up. Also, let's face it, even though we're all adults here, things that glow in the dark are fun - especially when they are involved with frisky fun in the dark.

As with most glow-in-the-dark items such as decoder rings, alarm clock hands and so forth, to maximize the glow properties of this ring, your best bet is to leave it out in the light for a bit before the lights-out fun begins.

Doctor Recommended

2008-06-06T11:55:00.001-07:00

Today a tube of Slippery Stuff Water-based Gel Lubricant crossed my desk. The tube is their medical-style packaging, and that reminded me of a conversation with my doctor. She was asking where I work, and what we sell. When I told her about my job, her face lit up as she excitedly asked "Do you sell Slippery Stuff?" When I told her that yes, in fact, we do, she was very pleased and wanted details she can give her patients.

Apparently she recommends this product to her patients all the time, but they have a hard time finding it since it is not readily available in most supermarkets and drug stores. So I'd say this is not only a nice slippery product in the world of water-based personal lubricants, but a doctor-recommended best bet.

Sexy Summer PJs

2008-06-05T13:40:00.000-07:00

When the weather gets warmer, it's time to rethink your wardrobe from sunup to sundown. Out come the capri pants and floaty sundresses, but often this seasonal makeover stops short at bedtime. Why is this?

You might think "Oh I always wear an old tshirt or any old thing to bed - it's no big deal - I'm asleep!" but I only agree with half of that statement. It's true you will be asleep. That said, it is a big deal to think what you wear to bed should be something old and ratty - something you would be embarrassed to be seen in by the light of day. Even the most fashion-forward by day can fall into this trap, but what is the solution?

The solution is some Sexy Summer PJs. Just because they're sexy does not mean they need to be uncomfortable - stretch mesh is actually one of the coolest and most comfortable things to wear - even for sleeping. And it is damn sexy, too. (You may not want to wear this in the light of day either, but for a whole 'nother set of reasons...)

If you're sleeping alone - do it for yourself, and if you're sleeping with your partner - do it for yourself. I am sure your act of self-love will be understood and appreciated. Bottom line - everybody should have some sexy summer PJs.

The Written and the Practical

2008-06-04T15:38:00.000-07:00

As a retailer of personal pleasure products, we get a fair amount of questions about this-
or that- product. Many questions are valid and they seem to come from people who are just beginning to think about getting a toy and are not exactly sure what to expect. These questions range from battery size/duration, proper care and cleaning, and volume. Often people will forget to include the name of the specific product they are considering with their questions

This makes answering those questions difficult. The range of toys, their properties and battery-usage rates is vast. Also, the range of people and their particular definitions of "loud" or "goes through batteries too quickly" (or whatever other criteria they may be wondering about at the time) is vast. A vast, vast range - oh what to do about it?

Enter the Sexpert! Dr. Sadie Allison has written a book called "Toygasms" which is chock full of answers to many common questions about owning and saving and using toys. We sell this book, and in fact, we bundle it with a toy. If you, like many people are just getting started - this is like getting the materials for the written and practical aspects of the whole experience.

Other than that, I would hope customers use their common sense. If some toys seem confusing or like something you would not like - don't buy it. If something is interesting to you - sounds like it's worth exploring. And finally, if the item costs less than a crew-neck tee at Eddie Bauer - just buy it and see how things progress. At the worst, you are out one Eddie Bauer t-shirt but have a better understanding of what works for you.

My advice is to start small and work your way up. Not sure you'd like a $150.00 super-silicone-tastic toy with a bazillion functions? Perhaps you should try finding out a bit more information (from a reputable source such as Dr. Sadie Allison) and a less expensive option first - you can always upgrade and fill out your toy collection later.

For the Gal on the Go - the Go Vibe

2008-06-03T16:04:00.001-07:00

This little item crossed my desk today, and I think it is a fantastic toy, especially for travelers. It's the Doc Johnson Go Vibe, which comes in four color choices. It's waterproof, has no wires, and it's like a cross between a bullet vibe and a pocket rocket. The Go Vibe takes one AA battery and turns on and off - no monkeying with settings and speeds - but this does not strike me as a problem. In fact, I think the simplicity lends a certain elegance to this little toy. It's extremely straightforward and has a nice rounded shape - perfect little travel pal for the gal on the go.

Unbelievably Popular Pocket Rocket

2008-06-02T16:47:00.000-07:00

Today, as happens nearly every day, plenty of the Doc Johnson Velvet Touch (White Nights edition) Pocket Rockets crossed my desk. It's an unbelievably popular product - it sells like hotcakes! Hot, hot, hot hotcakes!

While nearly every adult toy manufacturer has some version or other of this - pocket rocket, mini mite, handy massager, mighty med - the list goes on - Doc Johnson is the company that introduced this fabulous item to the world. The history of the pocket rocket is even more interesting - did you know that this item was dreamed up when a Doc Johnson employee was traveling in Asia? The lore is that he forgot to bring his razor and so purchased a cheap mini electric razor from a vending machine. Sadly, it did a mediocre job with the shaving, but the vibrations produced by the razor were notable. And note that he did! Excited, he hung onto his cheap, bad-shave razor and developed the pocket rocket from it.

As a person who loves finding out the back-story and history of products, I found the history of the Doc Johnson Pocket Rocket to be interesting and amusing. I hope you did too.

Sexy City Vibe

2008-05-30T12:06:00.000-07:00

As one of the millions of Sex in the City fans, I am very excited about the new movie coming out! In celebration of this event, I would like to highlight the Sexy City Vibe*. It is small and discreet - and comes in a "mini" version as well, should the regular small and discreet be not quite small and discreet enough.

The Sexy City Vibe comes in different colors and is waterproof. Multiple speeds help you find just the right groove to suit your mood. As far as moods go, I would suggest posh - the packaging on these is decidedly for women**. These vibes are good modern fun for the fun-loving modern gal.

* Die-hard fans may wonder why I'm not highlighting the rabbit - I say that's another toy for another day.

**This means there are no skanky porn-type photos on the package.

Suck it Up

2008-05-29T16:09:00.001-07:00

I love bachelorette parties - I should clarify - I love parties, not wearing "suck for a buck" tshirts at clubs and having a bff do humiliating "challenges" at bars for leering strangers because she is getting married soon.

So for the party people, it's fun to cut up and let things get a little silly, a little wild. One thing about bachelorette parties - they are nearly always penis-themed in some way or another. It's a little bit naughty and taboo - and here's a fun way to do it - serve drinks with penis-shaped straws. (I get giggly just thinking about it.) Penis-shaped straws are a guaranteed laugh for all but the most prim and uptight, who - let's face it - probably wouldn't have fun with most bachelorette party activities anyway.

So round up your girlfriends, pour the signature cocktails and toast your bride-to-be with penis-straw-drink in hand.

This Little Fishie

2008-05-28T16:21:00.000-07:00

This little fishie makes bath time more fun! It's a waterproof toy that vibrates when you need it to, and looks like an innocuous bathtub toy the rest of the time. To turn on and off the vibrations, just squeeze its sides.

I love it for its bulgy oversized eyes and happy little grin - it really is the cutest thing! If fishie isn't a good reason to makeover your bathroom with an "under the sea" motif - well then I'd just like to see what is.

Slippery!

2008-05-27T16:08:00.000-07:00

Today a bottle of Sliquid Silver - a premium silicone personal lubricant - crossed my desk. I always love the Sliquid packaging. It is fresh and modern and decidedly un-medical looking. (I think nothing is un-sexier or less romantic than hauling out a bottle or tube of something you know you've seen in your doctor's office!)

As a matter of course, most personal lubricants say on the label that this is not to be used as a contraceptive. Sliquid Silver's packaging also has this to say about itself:

Sliquid Silver IS formulated to last longer than most Hollywood marriages. Sliquid Silver ISN'T for use as a spermicide. (And finally my favorite) Sliquid Silver is SLIPPERY - clean spills immediately with soap and water to prevent injury or embarrassing explanations.

Wouldn't we all like to know what kind of embarrassing explanation a Sliquid Silver spill might cause? I know I'm curious, but seeing how no one really wants to put themselves in an embarrassing situation, be sure to clean up your slippery spills - we've all been warned.

Flapper, Slapper and Spank the Monkey

2008-05-23T11:36:00.000-07:00

If you like to spank or be spanked, here are some items that crossed my desk today which might just be up your alley.

First the Studded Flapper - it looks like a hand-shaped paddle, and that is precisely what it's good for - when you want to leave a (hand-shaped) impression.

Next, there's the D-ring Slapper - it's sturdy, and the two thick leather flaps make quite a slappy sound - I'm sure that is all part of the fun.

Finally, if what you want to spank is the monkey, we have the Vibrating Monkey Spanker. (It comes with directions on the package in case the picture is confusing.)

Layering your Scents and Loving It!

2008-05-22T15:03:00.001-07:00

What could be more thrilling than smelling or tasting fabulous and sexy?

Why smelling AND tasting fabulous and sexy - of course! And there's no better way to emphasize that fabulous and sexy experience than by layering the personal care and romance products you use to work together for a truly romantic and sensual good time. Let's begin:

Set the mood with a relaxing and luxurious bath - by candlelight, if possible - try Shunga Exotic Fruits Shower and Bath Gel - mmm, squeaky clean, relaxed and lusciously scented. A bath is a good way to slow down the pace of your day, clear your mind and get ready for the romancin'! (Or if a bath is not your speed, how about a shower-for-two?)

So now you're clean and refreshed - what's next? Well why bother getting those jammies on when you're all ready for a massage? (And what partner can resist that kind of offer?) At this point you can layer the same exotic fruits scent massage oil to be lavishly rubbed over your fresh clean self, or add a second, complimentary scent - perhaps something like this?

Ahhh... I am more relaxed already - oh my, where were we? Layering scents! Let's continue...

By now, the evening should be well on its way to success - time to tantalize the taste buds and include them in the party! Perhaps some lovely fun with edible body powder (and the tickly feather duster) or an aphrodisiac oil that warms up when you blow on it (and tastes good to boot) is just the ticket.

Or possibly things have sufficiently heated themselves up and you are ready to head straight into the passionate flames you've been fanning. Your last layer of scent - a lovely personal lubricant - helps you get the job done.

People say that scents bring back memories in a very vivid way, so don't just layer the scents and be done with it forever - now you have some memories so feel free to tap into them with the evocative scents of your romantic rendezvousing.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Minty!

2008-05-20T15:44:00.000-07:00

Let's admit it, some flavors are sexier than others. Garlic - not so much, but minty fresh? Sounds delightful! It's clean and tingly too - good times! If you like a refreshing minty coolness (which sounds good to me when I think about the hot weather ahead) you might like Shunga's Sensual Mint Massage Cream.

Yes, cream - in a tub, not oil in a bottle which can leak everywhere in your overnight bag or checked luggage. Because nothing says relaxation like a massage, especially a massage received on vacation, especially a vacation not ruined by massage-oil-drenched clothes!

So to sum up: Minty is sexy, massages are relaxing and creams in tubs are a safer travel bet than oils in bottles.

Bon Voyage!

Party Panties

2008-05-19T15:45:00.000-07:00

By now I'd say that tidbit of advice about interviewing for a new job, etc, is passe. You know the one - "wear fabulous underwear and it will give you that subconscious boost - knowing how much fabulousness you have going on under your straight-laced interview suit." Okay, so if you don't read Cosmo regularly, maybe you didn't know that, but now you do! In fact, it makes me wonder if Ms. Mona Lisa herself was wearing something daring and racy beneath her demure outfit - she has that knowing smile.

The question then becomes, how does one take it up a notch for something less formal than an interview? Ladies and gents, I give you the party panties. Their thong design and soft wide elastic lace work together to avoid VPL problems. The pearls give you something to smile mischeviously about - all night long.

So go ahead, make the world wonder what you're up to at your next big bash. Throw on a pair of party panties - it's our little secret!

Meow Meow Meow Meow...

2008-05-16T14:33:00.001-07:00

...you know the tune - it's the Meow Mix commercial song. And what better way to get the idea to be a sex kitten in one of these cute teddies. (What you don't see in the picture is that the ruffle goes into a swirly tail on the backside of this teddy - too adorable!)

Of course, if you don't like that jingle, there's always Lovecats by the Cure.

Is that a snake in your pants...

2008-05-15T15:31:00.000-07:00

...or are you just happy to see me?

Well of course it's a snake - it's trouser snake Thursday, and this soft men's novelty garment is just the ticket. After all, why should the ladies be the only ones getting gussied up for their partners? There's plenty of dress-up fun for all.

Don't Leave Home Without It

2008-05-14T10:46:00.000-07:00

Today I shipped one of these little satin sleep mask numbers. I think they're great. While I've never had much of a problem sleeping in various light conditions, they do add an extra sense of "going to sleep now" to the occasion.

They are also versatile - you can use them for lots of things besides just sleeping. For example, I have found they work FAR BETTER than any other thing - book, headphones, etc for keeping chatty strangers on airplanes to themselves. As a result, I will no longer travel without one.

So really, the possibilities are endless - I am sure there are a myriad other applications you might think up to use your sleep mask. Happy sleeping, and no peeking!

Silky Lube Hybrid

2008-05-13T15:56:00.000-07:00

In today's global warming, elevated oil prices world, the hybrid car is an appealing thought. For Napoleon Dynamite, the Liger (half lion, half tiger) is not only a hybrid, it's also pretty much his favorite animal. And it makes me wonder why should the world of personal lubricants be any different?

Today's featured item that crossed my desk is the very interesting Sliquid Silk - it is a hybrid personal lubricant. The brand Sliquid was created by sensitive women FOR sensitive women, and Silk is one of their more premium products. It's water-based, glycerin and paraben free - and yet - it also has a silicone aspect so it stays slippery for a good long time. A water-based and silicone lubricant hybrid - what could be better?

I like the brand Sliquid b/c it is so friendly - it doesn't contain harmful chemicals, the company does not use animal products nor does it test its products on animals. Also, their packaging looks happy, and that makes me happy too.

Ring-a-Ding Dinger

2008-05-12T16:04:00.000-07:00

Like most people who read magazines, I've seen (too) many articles about spicing things up in the love life department. The inevitable advice makes me yawn: "try new things, put a new twist on an old favorite." Frankly it sounds like the same advice about dealing with ugly bathrooms, meal planning, or any other thing that people do on a regular basis.

But people are game because no one likes being stuck in a rut. They start thinking "what kinds of new twists can we put on an old favorite?"

Enter the Tongue Dinger. It comes in different colors, even glow in the dark. (And yes, you wear it on your tongue for doing things - licky things.) It's a cheap, disposable item so there's not a lot of commitment involved in trying it out. Best of all, it sounds lighthearted and nonserious, and really, what could be a better way to mix things up?

Whether or not it takes a couple to new levels of unbridled passion is unknown - but it does achieve the goal of trying new things, stepping out of the ordinary into the adventurous.

Wardrobe Basics - the Sheer Red Robe

2008-05-09T16:08:00.000-07:00

Today my desk experienced a run of this lovely sheer red robe (panty not included.) We do sell a nice variety of high-quality low-end (think one size fits most) lingerie such as the HOT line from Shirley of Hollywood. La Perla it is not, but it's nice enough and it won't break the bank.

In my mind, a robe is something of an accessory, not a lingerie main event. I was surprised to be shipping single-item orders (yes, multiple orderS!) for this today in droves. It's too last-minute - not to mention far too inappropriate - to be Mother's Day related. It must be a sign of summer lovin' in the air.

It makes me think about the customers - perhaps these ladies already have the perfect little number to wear and simply need something to provide the illusion of a coverup? Or maybe the lingering chilly weather means a gal needs more layers, even in the budoir? Who's to say - all I can do is marvel at the popularity of the red-like-it-means-it robe.

Who's Feelin' Fancy?

2008-05-08T16:17:00.000-07:00

People seem to be using their stimulus packages to stimulate the economy by purchasing life's little luxuries, and what could be more luxurious than a fancy-pants vibrator? The Little Chroma Quiver is indeed one of the fanciest of fancy vibrators to the stars. It features a powerful yet quiet motor which is the size of an AA battery. If you burn that baby out, just get a new one (motor, that is) - they are as replaceable as the batteries, should frequent use cause that to be... ...necessary.

So if you're in the mood to splurge, and your stimulus money is giving you "what to buy" anxiety, you could do worse than to pick up a gem of a spendy yet fabulous personal care item.

Ding Dong - Who Doesn't Love A Parade?

2008-05-07T14:12:00.000-07:00

Only it's not your basic parade, it's a parade of BASIX - the line of shiny, brightly colored dildos, dongs and plugs. We are stocking up, and so today EVERY ONE of these delightful sizes, shapes and colors have crossed my desk. Hopefully I will get them all checked in before it's quitting time today - wish me luck (I'm going to need it!)

I Miss Underoos

2008-05-06T13:38:00.000-07:00

Maybe you do too? Perhaps that is why I was so tickled to see this fab little set. Hooray for "Miss Wonder" - not an official licensed product but we all know who this is about.

Dream a Little (Mini) Dream

2008-05-05T16:07:00.000-07:00

It's lavender, tiny, and adorable - the Vibratex Mini Dream is all that you'd expect from a cutesy vibrator. It has all the features you'd expect from a major player in the adult toy insdustry - the pastel color, the woodland creature and the nubby gspot bump. Even the name, "mini dream" is so euphemistic - it makes me think of a quickie or a 20 minute nap.

Bachelorette Parties - All Penis All the Time

2008-05-02T13:13:00.000-07:00

Clearly, someone is throwing a bachelorette party, and today I helped make that happen. My favorite item they ordered has got to be a toss up between the Mama Peckeroni Penis Pasta - mmm, yummy! - and the Peter Party Picks. About the pasta, what else is there to say - it's pasta, shaped like penises - get it? What I like about the party picks is that they are smaller and more subtle. You use them for things like cocktail weenies (wocka wocka) and cherries in your drink (tee hee) and dirty, dirty martinis.

This person's party will be a full-blown penis-themed bash - they will play games! - they will drink penis-ey beverages! - they will have naughty snacks! Almost makes me wish I was invited. Good luck to the happy couple, especially the bride. With friends who plan parties like this, she's going to need it!

Travel Size Pretty Pink Wormie

2008-05-01T12:45:00.000-07:00

This has got to be one of the cutesy-est items ever. It's a travel-size vibrating toy that looks like a happy little caterpillar. It's pink, it's happy, and it's waterproof so it can be a bathtub toy. Did I mention that it's cute - freakin' adorable! By far the cutest item to cross my desk today.

Sturdy, Indestructible - the Rump Shaker

2008-04-30T15:46:00.000-07:00

Today I had the Doc Johnson Purple Pearl Rump Shaker on my desk. It's the medium size, yes, they make other sizes and colors. It's one where you can collect them all! You can see a picture of it here. The Rump Shaker's packaging boasts that it is Sturdy! It is Indestructible! Also, it points out the tres handy feature - the control unit matches the business end.

First Post - What it's about

2008-04-30T13:14:00.000-07:00

The purpose for this blog, plain and simple, is this - I want to talk about the sexy and wild (and sometimes a little ridiculous) products that cross my desk in a day's work. I work for a company that sells lingerie, sexual wellness and novelty products. We run a website called www.condomsstore.com where most of the things that cross my desk can be found and purchased. I'm looking forward to posting!

Let the fun begin!
