Babeland Staff Picks — June

With so many toys to choose from, our staff can be a choosy bunch. And since we're always being asked, "What toy do you like best?", we thought it only fair to give you the goods. We come from all walks of life, and represent a variety of ages and interests... while we may not all like the same toys, we're all passionate about sex toys in general! (See our Staff Bios page to learn more about us.)


Every month, six different Babeland staff members will tell you about their favorite toys. Be sure to check back every month to find out which toys we can't live without.

My Pick: Waterdancer

Before I tried the the Waterdancer, I'd never had an orgasm. It wasn't that I didn't want to or hadn't tried — digital stimulation just didn't come naturally to me. Some experimentation with this little dynamo was like unlocking a sensation I didn't know I could experience. It took some time and positioning, but Waterdancer's buzzy vibe and flat surface stimulated clitoral nerve endings I had no idea were there... and made me realize I could stimulate them in other ways. Even now, the sight of Waterdancer's glinty blue plastic makes me nostalgic for summer and my sweetest coming of age moment.

My Pick: Simply Blown G-Glass

When I saw this toy, my first thought was that there's nothing sexier than a glass dildo. Not only is it beautiful, but it's sleek and extremely stylish. I didn't know if I wanted to use it or place it on my mantle! This being my first glass piece, my eyes were really opened as to all the ways I can possibly use a glass toy. I found that it's great for sensory play, foreplay, as well as penetration! I like that I can enjoy this alone and/or with my partner. Simply AWESOME!

My Pick: Je Joue G-Ki

The Je Joue G-Ki is the gift I give to close friends who say they don't believe in the G-spot, because I know better, and it's all thanks to the G-Ki. The adjustable angle means that you've got multiple options for hitting the spot, and the strong vibration makes it perfect for clit or G-spot stimulation. Plus, it's waterproof and rechargeable. And as someone whose work surrounds her with sex toys all day, every day, I won't settle for anything less than the best when it comes to my own pleasure!

My Pick: Fascinator Throes Blanket

When it comes to G-spot toys, the Fascinator Throes Blanket is the perfect accompaniment. Last year, I gave the Njoy Pure Wand to a friend; she couldn't stop talking about how it was the best toy she'd ever used, and that it made her ejaculate consistently... but that she always had to deal with the wet spot on the bed. This year, for her birthday, I gave her the Fascinator Throes Blanket — problem solved! It's totally water-resistant, and my friend has never brought up the wet spot again. I've never seen her happier, actually.

My Pick: Rechargeable Mystic Wand

I'm a lover of strong vibration, but am still intimidated by the mighty Hitachi Magic Wand. The Rechargeable Mystic Wand is perfect; it's cuter, lighter, wireless and rechargeable! (I hate replacing batteries.) I love the hum of the lower speed for some teasing; as I get closer to orgasm, I press the button to turn up the speed. Then, as I'm about to come, I hit it again for the highest speed, and BAM! Explosive orgasm, every time.

My Pick: Panther Cuffs

The Panther Cuffs were the first cuffs I ever got, and they're still my favorite. They're soft on my skin, never pinch, and are sleek enough to wear out about town. Most important, though, is that when I get home and my partner ties me up, we both know I'm not going anywhere no matter how hard I try!
