Oakland, CA — Babeland, the premier bi-coastal, women-friendly sex toy shop has just announced two cutting-edge additions to its treasure trove of sex toys—the Je Joue and iBuzz vibrators.

Previously available only in Europe, the new Je Joue and iBuzz vibrators are high-end, state-of-the-art sex toys that incorporate digital technology into their design. With a focus on the sensual side of sex, the Je Joue was designed to mimic the unpredictable sensations of foreplay, while the iBuzz translates music into vibration. Both toys can be personalized according to each user’s preference.

Notes Babeland purchasing director Joyce Solano, “These toys are a perfect addition to the Babeland product line. As a company we are always looking for new innovations in sex toy technology and we are committed to providing our customers with top-quality products. The Je Joue and iBuzz fit the bill on both fronts.”

The Je Joue and iBuzz vibrators are available at Babeland stores in Seattle, New York and Los Angeles, as well as online at Babeland.com.

Je Joue

Babeland is the preferred U.S. partner for women-owned, U.K.-based Je Joue. According to the toy’s creators (who refer to the Je Joue as “sensual intelligence”) the vibrator was inspired by foreplay itself. One Babeland staff reviewer referred to it as “the sex toy equivalent of an Al Green tune.”

This smart sex toy will definitely titillate the gadget-lover with its tantalizing technology. The sleek elastomer pads on this rechargeable toy quiver, twirl, swirl, and vibrate according to programmed "grooves."

A “groove” is a vibration pattern designed to cater to an individual’s unique pleasure: for example, the vibration pattern for "Quickie" builds up quickly and reaches its climax within five minutes, while "Rock" vibrates slowly, gradually speeding up, pulsing, slowing down, twirling, and building up in speed again for over twenty minutes before reaching its earth-shattering crescendo. Users can also fast forward and rewind a groove as they like, and if they love whatever's happening in the moment, they can simply hit the "Don't Stop" button to keep it coming.

Je Joue comes loaded with ten pre-programmed tracks lasting from five to twenty minutes. Users can also create their own grooves and share them online at www.jejoue.com. This toy includes a velour carrying case, three elastomer attachments, charger, USB cable, PC and Mac compatible groove-design software, and complete instructions. It retails at Babeland for $290.

iBuzz

The iBuzz is the sexiest iPod accessory available, and the word on the street is that the iBuzz is keeping music lovers buzzing with excitement.

To use the iBuzz, one simply hooks the controller to her jeans, connects her iPod (or any other variety of mp3 player with a standard 3.5mm mini-jack), and places the iBuzz bullet vibrator wherever she likes.  As the manufacturer promises, “you can get off while getting down.”

The bullet vibrates in time to the iPod’s music. The intensity increases with the volume of the music and can also be increased via the controller. Or, for those who feel like enjoying some “quiet” time, iBuzz can be operated without a music source. The iBuzz comes with two silicone-rubber attachments: one for clitoral or penetrative stimulation, the other for use as a vibrating cock ring. The iBuzz also includes a power pack, Y-splitter, bullet vibe, and two silicone-rubber attachments. It retails at Babeland for $55.
