Wand Vibrators - Powerful Vibrators Get the Job Done

Wed, 26 Sep 2012 23:40:00 GMT

We affectionately refer to wand-style vibrators as “orgasm powerhouses.” Why? Because they transmit such strong vibrations that your orgasm will come easily and often. Most wand fans learned this courtesy of the legendary Hitachi Magic Wand, but there are plenty of new powerful vibrators worth your attention. Not only are these strong vibrators trusty companions for solo sex, but they can also be used with a partner.

Looking for a wand vibrator that:	Try these...	Check it out!
Is trusted by millions of women and is the standard by which all other wands are compared?	The original wand: the Hitachi Magic Wand vibe is known as “the Cadillac of vibrators” for its power and reliability. It doubtless has generated more orgasms than any other vibe out there. They last for years, but every now and then a woman comes marching into the store and demands a replacement for her worn out Hitachi. Is she interested in seeing other models? No way! Only another Hitachi will do. This vibe inspires loyalty for a reason: it gets the job done right, every time.
Does the thinking for you?	This customer review describes the Smart Wand perfectly: “This wand is rechargeable, completely waterproof, and most importantly, very powerful! Good for us girls who like plug-in toys. There are 8 vibration modes, and you can adjust the intensity of vibration. It is high-quality silicone with a soft, velvety feel, and it's very attractive. This is much pricier than most of my toys, but it comes with a one year warranty for defects, and if it breaks within 10 years, you can buy a replacement from Lelo for 50% off. Two sizes: Medium and Large
Is cheaper than the Hitachi Magic Wand, and cordless?	The VibeRite stores up 40 minutes of powerful vibration allowing cord free fun. It also has seven speeds and is an attractive deep red color. Plus it’s a tad cheaper than the Hitachi Magic Wand, so if you want maximum bang for minimum buck, this is the wand for you.
Is quieter than the Hitachi Magic Wand, but just as strong?	The Body Wand, like the Hitachi Magic Wand, plugs into the wall and offers strong vibrations that no battery powered vibe can match. The Body Wand is quieter and also has a variable speed control (the Hitachi only has two speeds).
Is smaller than the Hitachi Magic Wand?	The cute Mystic Wand is like the Hitachi’s adorable li’l sis. Available either battery powered or as a plug-in rechargeable vibe, both versions come with a variety of speed and pulse options. This is a good vibe for people who find the Hitachi too strong, even on its low speed.
Gives G-spot stimulation too?	Hitachi Magic Wand + Gee Whiz Combo ups the ante for lovers of strong vibrators. Not only will you get a clit thumpin’ good time, but the angled Gee Whiz makes for perfect penetration. (p.s. no “one hit wonder,” it can also target the prostate).
Gives good head?	The Flutter Tip Wand Attachment fits over the head of the Hitachi, the Body Wand, the Smart Wand Large or the VibeRite wand to transform the steady buzz into fluttering tongue like sensations

The Clitoris

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 21:27:00 GMT

The clitoris is the only organ in the human body whose sole function is pleasure. In other words, the clitoris was built for orgasm. The tip of the clitoris is the round nub right above the meeting point of the inner labia. It is protected by a little fold of skin, or hood, which is a good thing, because there are 6,000 to 8,000 nerve endings in the clit, and even a light touch is usually felt rather intensely. As with the penis, the clitoris is composed of erectile tissue and gets bigger and harder when a woman is turned on. A lot of women prefer their clits touched through the clitoral hood.

The visible nub of the clit, called the glans, is just the tip of the iceberg. The clitoris continues on from the exposed tip, primarily in the form of two clitoral legs which stretch back beneath the labia on either side of the vaginal opening. There are significant areas of erectile tissue, muscles, nerves and blood vessels which are part of the complex organ which responds to sexual tension and resolves in orgasm.

Because the clitoris is more extensive than we previously realized, the conflict between clitoral and vaginal orgasms should be over. Women who orgasm through vaginal or G-spot stimulation are being turned on by stimulation of a different area of the same sexual response organ as women who come from stimulation of the external part of the clitoris. Orgasms generated from stimulation of different areas may feel different, but in a fundamental way they are the same. Of course, no way of reaching orgasm is better. All ways are good!

Women vary greatly in terms of the clitoral stimulation they prefer. Many women absolutely love being licked and sucked for example, but others don't. Vibrators, with their impressive range of intensities, offer an ideal way to experiment with clitoral stimulation. Great beginner vibrators are the Wahl, the Hitachi, the Fukuoku finger vibe, and the Rabbit Pearl.

Biological Male Sexual Anatomy

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 21:31:00 GMT

Vibrant sexuality and sexual self-knowledge are everyone's birth-right, but what passes for sex-education in our culture is limited to information about reproduction and abstinence education. Understanding male sexual anatomy can put you more in touch with your sexuality if you are a guy and can tune the pitch of your touch if you are feeling up a guy. Men who want to experience multiple orgasms and to control their ejaculation teach themselves by tuning in to their bodies and strengthening pelvic muscles. Also, knowing how your body works helps you figure out what toys will feel good; your body is a clearing house of information about your own pleasure!

Anatomy of the Penis and Testicles

Although you can certainly have a boner, there is no "bone" of the penis in humans (many animals do have phallic bony structures). Nor is the penis composed of muscle, though there are muscles attached to the penis at the base. Rather, the penis is composed of three cylinders of spongy erectile tissue that have the capacity to expand to eight times their regular size when they are filled with blood, which is what makes an erection. Two of these cylinders run across the top part of the penis and are called the corpus covernosa. One runs along the bottom of penis and surrounds the urethra and is called the corpus spongeosum, and is connected to the head of the penis, called the glans, where the urethral opening sits. The glans of the penis contains the highest concentration of nerve endings in the penis, though it contains fewer nerve endings than the clitoris, so it is comparatively less sensitive. Some of the deliciously sensitive areas of the penis are: the coronal ridge, ridge around the head, the frenulum, and the raphe.

The underside of the ridge, where the head connects to the shaft is called the frenulum and is an extra sweet spot for tonguing or stroking. Along the bottom of the penis, running from the coronal ridge, down the penis over the middle of the testicles to the anus is a raised line or ridge called the raphe. Many men find the raphe is also an extra sensitive area of the shaft. The internal portion of the penis, (aka the base, bulb, or root of the penis) ends behind the testicles and can be felt by pressing the perineum, the area between the testicles and anus, also affectionately referred to as the "t'aint" (because it ain't here nor there) and "the chin-rest." One of the reasons anal penetration feels so great for many men is it stimulates the root of the penis through the rectal wall. All men are born with a foreskin, a loose area of skin at the end of the penis that can be pulled back to expose the head. Many parents have infant foreskins removed by circumcision. Many Jews and Muslims continue to practice this genital modification for tradition and religious reasons, and the practice has at times been routinely performed on new-borns in US hospitals. Many men who have been circumcised as adults report that they have less sensitivity in their glans after circumcision. There is an active movement opposed to circumcision.

The testicles, the two grape-to-plum-sized bodies that produce sperm and testosterone, hang behind the penis in the fleshy sac of scrotum. Testicles vary in size and are temperature sensitive; the scrotum retracts and descends depending on states of arousal and temperature. While they are sensitive to pain, many men enjoy the feeling of squeezing and pulling on their scrotums. Cock rings with "ball stretchers" are intended to provide extended squeezing of the balls and many include a small hook for hanging weights or attaching a leash.

Erection

The process of erection involves both the sympathetic and autonomic nervous systems. In others words, sometimes a hard on just "happens" and at other times you can think yourself into a woody. The muscles containing the vascular supply to the penis are regularly tense. When men are aroused, these muscles relax, allowing a greater blood flow into the penis. As the three cavernous bodies of the penis fill with blood, the surrounding membrane becomes taut and pushes the vesicles closed, trapping the blood in the penis. Medication (legal and illegal) and health issues that affect the circulatory system can impact erection. Viagra works by causing the relaxation of the muscles and vesicles. Poppers do too. But anxiety and smoking, for example, are vaso-inhibitors that cause restriction in the blood flow and therefore can inhibit erection.

There are mechanical ways to keep blood in the penis to enhance erection. Cock rings and penis pumps are the most common. Check out the scoop on these products and how they work in our Shopping Advice.

Ejaculation and Orgasm

Ejaculation and orgasm are the result of two different physiological processes. And, although most men experience them as one and the same, one can learn to separate these processes and have "dry orgasms" and multiple orgasms.

As men get aroused they experience muscular tension building up in the groin. This is the tensing of the PC muscles, the sling of muscles that holds the sexual organs that rapidly contract during orgasm. Erectile tissue throughout the body becomes engorged. Blood rushes to nipples, lips and penis, and is accompanied by a feeling of warmth. As people become aroused their sensitivity to stimulation increases while sensitivity to pain reduces.

During arousal the testicles pull up closer to the body and sperm travel through the vas deferens tube (which is made of smooth muscle). As it passes the seminal vesicle and the prostate gland, seminal fluid is added to the mix. The prostate gland is donut shaped around the urethra. When the semen fills this area of the urethra, the urethra expands and puts pressure on the prostate, which sends a message to the spinal cord. Up until this point, a guy can pull himself back from the edge of ejaculation. He can change his breathing, back off on the stimulation or change it. This point of no return is called "ejaculatory inevitability" aka. "I'm gonna come!" Once the spinal nerves receive the full prostate message, they fire and cause the PC muscles, vas deferens, and prostate to contract and produce the spasms of orgasms. Pressure on the prostate gland, which can be stimulated through the anus, feels fabulous for many men.

Sperm actually only makes up about five percent of semen. The rest comes from the seminal vesicle, prostate gland and cowpers gland. The albumen, sugars, acids and enzymes produced by these glands make up the majority of ejaculate and make the sperm motile and enable them to live outside the body. Pre-come is produced by the cowpers gland, and functions to make the acidic urethra more hospitable for the semen. It can contain sperm and HIV, which means you can transmit HIV or get a woman pregnant even if you pull out before ejaculating or just rub genitals without ejaculating.

Multiple Orgasms, "Dry Orgasms," and Delayed Ejaculation

Learning to control ejaculation and extending sex (and building for multi-orgasmic response) involves learning how to stop and back off, breathe, slow down, move around or change stimulation right before you hit that point. The book The Multi-Orgasmic Couple is a great resource with lots of exercises to help men build greater body and sexual awareness and expand their sexual response.

The Prostate Gland and Anus

The anus offers a world of pleasure and sensation for everyone who has one! For men, anal play offers extra delights because both the base of the penis and the prostate gland are accessible. For some men, pressing the prostate itself can generate an orgasm, for others it just adds to the sensations. You can stimulate the prostate with a finger, dick, dildo or other toy through the anus. It's located about two inches inside towards the belly. In fact its location is similar to the G-spot and is sometimes referred to as the Male G-spot. If you are diving for the prostate, remember the lube! Lubricant makes anal penetration much more pleasurable.

Common Questions

How do I learn to control my ejaculation and have multiple orgasms? Kegel exercises will help you strengthen the muscles that are involved in orgasm. Squeeze the muscles you would to cut off the flow of urine. Do that repeatedly. Click here for a more detailed How to Exercise Your PC Muscles. Also, as men approach ejaculation their testicles rise. Some men find that a gentle downward tug on the testicles can help delay ejaculation.

Will a cock ring keep me harder longer? Possibly. For some men, cock rings create a firmer erection and delay ejaculation. But for others, dressing up their dicks and putting on a squeeze feels so good, they come right away! It's not a "cure" for erectile difficulty, which can, in fact, be a medical issue that deserves a discussion with your doctor. Click here for more info on cock rings.

The Women's Guide to Good Porn Movies

Feeling It!...Not Faking It Pirates The Masseuse

Adult videos aren’t just for trenchcoat-wearing men! A Ladies Home Journal survey found that 47% of women reported using erotica or pornography to heighten their sexual experiences. In our years of selling adult videos, we've found that you can’t make assumptions about what women want in porn. Some folks want a traditional couple’s flick with a well-developed plot and lots of foreplay, while others want uninterrupted hardcore action. Some want performers with natural bodies. Others revel in the fantasy bodies of porn stars.

How do you find porn you want to watch with the seemingly limitless options available? Whether you're new to adult videos, trying to convince your girlfriend to watch something racier than Sex and the City reruns, or just want to know what turns women on when it comes to X-rated films, keep reading!

Female Porn Directors

The good news is that there are more and more women porn directors these days, and women are at forefront of sexy, award-winning, innovative porn productions. Women directors tend to do a better job of representing authentic female pleasure in their movies. They are also more likely to create comfortable, supportive work environments, especially for female performers.

Sex educator extraordinaire Tristan Taormino is producing some of the hottest porn on the market featuring professional porn stars. Her movies House of Ass and Chemistry are staff favorites.
Many women directors are former and current porn stars. Some of the hottest stars on the market – like Jenna Jameson, Belladonna, and Chloe – are directing their own features.

Sex and Storyline

A lot of folks want some context with their sex. While some people want to see sexual tension and a relationship develop between the characters, others love lavish costuming and storylines. Love action movies? Pirates? Cops? Comedy? There's a porn film out there for you.

In Recipe for Romance, Carolina is a lonely chef running her own catering business who ladles her sexual frustrations into her cooking—much to the delight of her customers.
Pirates is a high-budget extravaganza that features special effects!
An Open Invitation: A Real Swingers’ Party in San Francisco follows a couple as they spice up their relationship by joining the San Francisco swinger scene, enjoying orgies, anal play, voyeurism, and use of great sex toys

Hot Men in Porn

Many straight ladies find their porn-watching aspirations stifled by the lack of hot male porn actors. Mainstream porn typically casts male leads based on penis size and ability to ejaculate on cue, not overall good looks. Women-centric movies generally cast better-looking male talent. In fact, one of the signs that the industry is changing to meet the demand for women’s movies is the fact that there are more good looking porn actors than ever before.

Look for these actors on box covers: Julian, Mr. Marcus, Kurt Lockwood, Scott Nails, Sean Michaels, and Steven St. Croix.
Go straight to where the hot bodies are and get some gay boy porn.

Natural Bodies in Porn

Not everyone finds bleach blond hair and plastic surgery attractive, and women of all types want to see themselves and their desires reflected on the screen. If you love the look of a natural body, there’s porn for you! Quality porn productions feature body hair, love handles, natural breasts and average-sized penises.

Classic 70’s movies like Behind the Green Door and Insatiable were made before boob-jobs, waxing, and "gym toning" were the norm.
Porn stars Belladonna, Cytherea, and Chloe are all known for their sexy, natural bodies and enthusiastic performances.

Queer Women’s Porn

It can be a challenge to find authentic queer women’s pleasure portrayed onscreen. Much of what is touted as lesbian porn is actually girl-on-girl, a very specific genre made by mainstream porn companies to appeal to straight men.
The most compelling queer productions are made by small, independent, dyke-run companies. The casts are often much more diverse than standard porn, sometimes featuring butch women, transfolks, people of color, and an array of body types. Strap-on action, whole-hearted pussy licking, and finger fucking are standard. Check out Tight Places

The Crash Pad is the latest phenomenon in queer women’s porn. Directed by Shine Louise Houston, who earned a degree in film from the San Francisco Art Institute and worked as a sex educator for Good Vibrations, her films are full to the brim with queer hotties and sexy action.

XXX-tra Tips for Porn Watching

Check out your first movie alone - that way you can see if you like it or not without feeling pressured by your partner's expectations.
Keep the remote handy. Feel free to zoom through buzz-kill segments.
Keep your vibrator nearby, or let your fingers do the walking. Explore which scenes increase your arousal.

Mainstream porn can turn you on to new things, but if you want to learn technique, check out some instructional films. The best movies in the ‘edutainment’ genre couple education with sexy demonstrations. Check out Bend Over Boyfriend, Female Ejaculation for Couples, or The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women.

Eco-Friendly Sex Toys

Sat, 10 Mar 2012 17:10:00 GMT

Earth-friendly products like fair trade coffee, organic vegetables, and biodegradable dish soap are staples on the shopping lists of environmentally-conscious consumers. But what makes a sex toy eco-friendly? Babeland, the premier bi-coastal, women-friendly sex toy store, offers a variety of sex toys made eco-friendly by being energy-efficient, and made from sustainably produced/body-friendly materials.

Rechargeable/Energy-Efficient Vibrators

Rechargeable vibrators: Save money and keep batteries out of landfills with a rechargeable vibrator. Many companies have taken this ingenious idea to the next level, providing vibrators that are both eco-friendly and sexy, like Jimmyjane Form 2, Jimmyjane Form 3, and Lelo Siri. Toys like the Rechargeable Mystic Wand, Liv, and Gigi boast the powerful vibrations of traditional electric vibrators but are completely cord-free. SaSi, a programmable vibrator that learns the movements that you like, is a true technological innovation. And for those couples out there, the We-Vibe is the first vibe (rechargeable, of course!) designed to be worn during intercourse.

Electric vibrators: Of course, a sex toy doesn't have to be rechargeable to be energy-efficient: any toy that's electrically powered (as opposed to battery-powered), like the classic Hitachi Magic Wand or Wahl 7-in-1, offers an alternative to disposable battery use. (Just be sure to unplug the toys when you're not using them to conserve energy.)

Solar-powered vibrators: For the ultimate in energy conservation, we also offer the Solar Bullet, which is great for campers and environmentalists alike.

Skin-Safe Materials

A recent Greenpeace study sounded the alarm about some common chemical ingredients in sex toys that are neither earth-friendly nor body-friendly. Babeland features a large selection of sex toys that are safe for the planet and your body.

Silicone: We love silicone because it has the comfort and pliability of other rubbers, but it's hypoallergenic, non-porous, boilable for disinfection, and doesn't off-gas or interact with the body in unfavorable ways. Some newer versions of silicone, like Vixskin (as seen in the popular Goodfella and Bandit dildos), offers a realistic, skin-like feel with the body-safe composition of silicone.

Elastomer: Elastomer is a latex-free material that's also free of phthalates, a class of plastic-softening chemicals found in many sex toys that have been shown to have harmful long-term effects. The latest version of the wildly popular Rabbit Habit and the Laya Spot are both made of Elastomer, which was developed in response to growing concerns about unsafe chemicals in sex toys.

Glass: Many of our glass toys are hand-blown in small batches, and thus produced sustainably. The Rose G-Spotter, for example, combines eco-friendly, disinfectable Pyrex glass with pure luxury. And our body-safe glass is very stable, not releasing any chemicals into the body during use. For a full selection of our glass toys, click here.

Metal and Wood: Our metal and wood sex toys are body-safe and crafted/harvested sustainably. Stainless steel toys like the Kegelcisor, Pure Wand, and the stunning Eleven dildo will last a lifetime and are a delight to use. For something a little more back-to-nature, try the Fling, a sustainably harvested wood toy that you can feel good about.

Natural/Organic Ingredients

Lubricant: Whether sensitive skin or environmental concerns lead you to buy organic and all-natural products, Babeland offers premium all-natural and organic lubricants. Our Babeland Naturals Organic Lube and Sliquid Organics Natural Lubricant are free of chemical preservatives (like parabens, which have been linked to some cancers) and less likely to irritate sensitive systems.

Body products: Babeland Body products are made of simple, all natural ingredients. Babeland Body Lickable Oils feature sophisticated flavors, an elegant package, and an eco-conscious and body-friendly formula. For an all-natural massage, light some Babeland Massage Candles, crafted simply from skin-safe soy and all-natural fragrances. Or try our Babeland Naturals Organic Naked Massage Oil, made with no additives or preservatives for light, silky, replenishing moisture.

The Real Story About Numbing Creams and Erection Prolongers.

Pills and elixirs, creams and concoctions—it’s tempting to think that there’s a quick fix to our problems, especially when it comes to sex.

But most of these sexual “problems” actually have much more to do with communication, attitudes about sex, and sexual self-image than they do with physiological response.A common theme among these products is reducing sensation and numbing nerves—but in our experience, this does more harm than good (if you can't feel it, how do you know when it hurts?).

There’s also no scientific evidence that these potions work—they’re not approved by the FDA and are sold only as herbal supplements.The manufacturers of these items play on people’s insecurities about body image and sexual peformance, hyping the cure-all aspect of their products in the quest for a quick buck. So we’ll give you the truth:there’s no magic trick when it comes to a fulfilling sex life.

In this article, we'll take a look at some of the more common sexual desires that fuel sales of these snake-oil products, blast apart some of the most persistent claims, then follow up with some fun and sexy tools to help you enjoy better sex.

So you want to…make your penis bigger

What won’t work: Pills, creams, etc. Short of surgery, there’s nothing one can do to permanently enlarge the penis.Pills (herbal or otherwise) advertised for enlargement usually don’t actually do anything at all — at most, they can increase blood flow to the penis (acting similarly to Viagra), but that won’t result in permanent growth.Creams don’t work either. Because of the way the penis is constructed, what you rub on it will be carried away by blood vessels before it has a chance to sink into the tunica albuginea (the spongy tissue inside the penis).

What you can do:

First, check out www.erectionphotos.com, a website dedicated to dispelling myths about penis size. If you smoke, quit.Smoking limits the flow of blood to the penis and the less blood that gets in there, the less chance of your penis getting any bigger.
Think about shaving or trimming if you don’t already — less hair means you can see more of the penis, and that makes it look bigger.
If you’re still interested in exploring temporary enlargement, you can try a penis pump.These work by sucking in a lot of blood flow to the penis.Aside from temporary enlargement, they can feel really good, too.Keep in mind that if you have vascular or heart problems, you should check with your doctor first.Some folks who pump regularly over a long period of time do report permanent growth, but they almost always experience a loss in erection hardness as well.So you might look impressive, but your boner won’t be so…bony.

So you want to…maintain your erection to last longer in bed

What won’t work:Again, pills and creams aren’t much help.There are numerous desensitizing creams out there (such as Sta-Hard, which contains benzocaine) that promise to help you stay hard, but what’s the fun of being hard if you can’t feel anything?In addition, the creams can irritate some men and many women, and can rub off on your partner, making him/her feel numb as well.Well-known drugs like Levitra and Viagra are designed for folks who have physiological difficulties getting and maintaining erections; they can have dangerous side effects if not used correctly (including head and stomachaches, vision problems and cardiovascular-related deaths).For more info about these risks, check out this excellent article.

What you can do:Read the book The Multi-Orgasmic Man, which details several techniques to help you get more control over that wily penis, including certain pressure points that can help delay ejaculation.Some guys find that cock rings (like the Velcro or 5 Snap) help maintain their erections (and look trés sexy!).These work by constricting the flow of blood leaving the penis.Open your mind and explore other sexual options—there’s so much more to sex than just “insert penis here.”Or check in with a therapist or counselor to explore any mental or emotional blocks that can affect erection.

So you want to…have anal sex without pain

What won’t work: Many folks have heard of Anal-Eaze or other desensitizing creams.The thought of using these on your sensitive little butt makes us cringe.They’re pretty much made of the same things as the penis creams—the whole point of them is to numb the area on which they're applied.Now our question is, why have sex if you can’t feel it?Anal sex can and should be pleasurable and fun!Used anally, these creams can actually be harmful to your body.Pain is a signal from your body that something isn’t right.If you can’t get that signal from your body, you could be doing permanent damage to your body and not even know it until later.

What you can do:First, check in with yourself:is this something you’d like to explore for yourself?If so, grab a bottle of lube (preferably nonsticky, thick lube like Maximus or Slippery Stuff), relax and have fun.The anus has so many pleasurable nerves—go slow and let your body set the pace.It can take weeks or months for some folks to be able to relax and enjoy anal penetration, so you may want to start with just enjoying external stimulation.If you’re concerned about hygiene, you can take a shower and clean your butt with a gentle soapy finger (for a more thorough cleansing, check out the Anal Douche) or use a latex or nitrile glove.Try some great first-time butt toys like the Little Flirt or the Pendant.Anything with a curve can hit the P-spot (prostate); the Pro-Touch Vibe is very popular with the guys.

So you want to…boost your libido (women)

What won’t work: The results are mixed when it comes to Viacreme and its many cohorts.The manufacturers claim that one of the active ingredients, L-Arginine (an amino acid), has a cumulative effect, so that the more you use it, the more your libido increases over time. The other active ingredient is menthol, which is where the “cool tingling” feeling comes from.We had several staffers test it and the responses varied from “it didn’t do anything for me that rubbing my clit for five minutes wouldn’t normally do anyway” to “I had to run to the bathroom to wash it off because the menthol was too intense,” so use with caution, if at all.

What you can do: Many factors can affect libido, such as stress, diet, changes in the normal routine, mental or physical illness and medication (ask your doctor if your meds are affecting your libido—new medications come out all the time that may be less of a killjoy for your sex life).If you’ve been arguing with your partner for the past month, or if you were recently promoted to a new job with new challenges, it makes sense that you’re not feeling so hot and heavy.So check in with yourself or a trusted physician or counselor.

Communication is another key factor.Many women can have difficulty achieving orgasm, but we’re betting it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with them physiologically.Getting to know your own body, mind and desires and being able to communicate them with your partner will go a long way towards a mutually satisfying erotic relationship.If you feel stuck in a rut, try jumpstarting your libido by making it a priority to try new things like reading erotica, exploring role-playing fantasies or just plain setting aside time to relax and enjoy your partner and yourself.

So you want to…have a “tighter” vagina

What won’t work: Vaginal tightening creams.There isn’t a shred of evidence that these work, and they can be irritating to your sensitive mucous membranes.They often contain ingredients like potassium alum (a substance found in natural deodorants) or, making its appearance yet again, benzocaine (a numbing agent used as an anesthetic).

What you can do: Do your Kegels!Kegels are vaginal strengthening exercises that can help you regain lost muscle tone; you do these by isolating the pubococcygeus (PC) muscles and alternately squeezing and relaxing them.If you’re having a hard time finding those muscles, they’re the same ones you use to stop the flow of urine; try it next time you go to the bathroom.These exercises can be done while you’re waiting in line at the bank or stuck in traffic.But they’re much more effective when you use an exerciser like a vaginal barbell, which is weighted to offer your muscles more resistance (much like the barbells in a gym).Check out the Smart Balls, Betty’s Barbell or the classic Kegelcisor. They really do help tone your muscles, allowing you more control as well as improving orgasmic response.

G-Spot Orgasm Technique Tips Tricks

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 13:16:00 GMT

In search of the elusive G-spot? Or maybe you’ve already found your female G-spot but you haven’t found the right G-spot orgasm technique to take you right over the top? Here are our top five tips for perfecting your technique and maximizing your pleasure:

G-spot Orgasm Technique #1: Aim High. Really want to be able to find the female G-spot? Set your sights high: the G-spot requires a sharp angle for proper stimulation. If a woman were laying on her back, imagine aiming towards the ceiling with your toy or fingers at just a ten to twenty degree angle from the bed. The G-spot feels like a firm area about the size of a peach pit, right behind the public bone—the more turned on you are, the easier it is to find.		Bgee Vibe
G-spot Orgasm Technique #2: Keep it short. Yes, we all hear the hype about bigger is better, but nothing could be further than the truth when it comes to finding the female G-spot. The female G-spot is usually just a few inches on the inside top wall of the vagina (pretend you’re aiming up towards the belly button), so an extra-long—or even regular sized—toy might bypass it completely. Try a toy designed especially for the female G-spot, like the Bgee. The short, curved designs hook right into the G-spot.		Pure Wand
G-spot Orgasm Technique #3: Think hard. You might like to have your clit licked softly or touched slowly, but most female G-spots need firm, strong pressure to build to orgasm. Your own fingers might not be strong enough—or angled correctly—to reach. Try an extra firm toy, like the Pure Wand, or one that swivels, like the Rosebud. You might find that as you get more turned on, your female G-spot will respond to more and more pressure from your toy or fingers. If you want to add even more powerful vibration with your G-spot stimulation, try the Gee Whiz attachment with the Hitachi Magic Wand.		Rosebud Vibe
G-spot Orgasm Technique #4: Assume the position. Okay, there isn’t a ‘magic’ position, but because the G-spot responds so well to firm pressure, you really want to be able to push right up against it. When using fingers, crook them back towards yourself with a ‘come here’ kind of motion, and prop her up on a few pillows. With a penis or strap-on, try a doggy-style position with her face and shoulders on the mattress and ass in the air, or have her straddle your dick and lean way back—both of these positions put optimal pressure on the female G-spot.		Gee Whiz + Hitachi Magic Wand
G-spot Orgasm Technique #5: Come here. Some women need a little build up to a female G-spot orgasm, so if it feels a little too intense at first, back off on the pressure or slide around the G-spot until you’re ready for more direct pressure. The clit and the G-spot are connected, so it’s no surprise that stimulating the clit while really pushing against the female G-spot can be the key to taking things to the next level. Don’t be afraid to direct your partner to fuck you harder (which doesn’t always mean faster!), touch your clit, or do whatever you need to maximize your pleasure. The Form 6 or a the Silver Bullet are a great choice for clitoral stimulation.		Form 6
G-spot Orgasm Technique #6: Repeat. Okay we know we said the Top Five Techniques... but once you learn them, there's yet one more thing to do!! A little (or a lot) of practice can go a long way when it comes to female G-spot orgasms. And remember, the trip is as important as the destination—stay focused on having fun, and lots of orgasms are sure to follow.		Babeland Silver Bullet

The Fine Art of Female Multiple Orgasms

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 16:50:00 GMT

(or “Keep ‘em comin’!")

Top sex toys for multiple female orgasms:

Babeland Pocket Rocket

Orgasms feel great, no lie. So once you’ve had one, who wouldn’t want another? But just how do you get from your first orgasm to your second, and third, and fourth? It might take a lot of practice, but if you’re willing to put in the time, we’re happy to pass along a few tips. First, if you’ve never had an orgasm, head to How to Have an Orgasm to get you started.Then come back to us when you’re ready for more!

If you want to read up on some female multiple orgasm technique, we recommend the all-encompassing I Love Female Orgasm and the couples-and-intimacy focus of The Multi-Orgasmic Couple.

Here are our favorite techniques, and our picks of the best toys to take you over the top.

1. Take one. Go ahead, have an orgasm. However you usually do it. After all, it takes that first one to have multiple female orgasms.

2. Don’t stop there. The key to female multiple orgasms is keeping your level of excitement high—if you become less aroused, it will take you longer to have a second orgasm. This means you should continue clitoral stimulation (or whatever it was that made you come so hard the first time) after your first orgasm.

3. Get sensitive. Many women find their clits become extra sensitive after orgasm; if you want to have multiple female orgasms, you need to keep up the stimulation (see #2!), but you don’t want to do anything that hurts. This is a great time to mix things up, and don’t forget to use lots of a slick lube like Entice by Babeland. Have your lover use their tongue, try touching your clit in a different spot or through the lips of your labia, or go directly to #4...

4. Use a toy. Obviously we’re big fans of sex toys, but we have to say they are one of the best ways to keep coming and coming. If you really want to experience female multiple orgasms, get a toy. Strong vibrators, like the outstanding Hitachi Magic Wand, vibes that can be programmed to respond to your personal needs, such as the Form 6, or a pocket-size toy like the Waterdancer all take over where your tired hands take off. Consistent, powerful vibrations are just the thing to take you right over the top—again and again. If you want a vibrator that remembers exactly what kind of stimulation you need to get off, try the SaSi vibrator, which uses “sensual technology” to customize your vibration patterns (how cool is that?!).

5. Squeeze your way. Even if your body is feeling extra sensitive, a few well-timed kegel clenches might be just the thing to catapult you into female multiple orgasms. After you have your first orgasm (or during, if you can manage it), start to tense and release your PC (pubococcygeal) muscles while you continue to touch your clit. Because it is the contraction of your PC muscles that help make orgasms happen, your conscious activation of them can easily cause an avalanche of female multiple orgasms in response. Plus, the stronger your PC muscles, the stronger your orgasms. For more info, see How to Exercise Your PC Muscle.

6. Do it together. Put your partner in charge. Hand them the Wahl rechargeable vibe, lay down, and let them ease you right into a slew of female multiple orgasms. Letting go of control and resisting the urge to say “Stop, I’ve had enough,” when you usually do might be all it takes to get over the hump.

7. Enjoy.It goes without saying that getting there is the best part. Even if you don’t have female multiple orgasms, the pleasure of learning more about your body, communicating with your partner—and oh yeah, all the individual orgasms you’re having along the way—are more than worth the effort.

Recommended Toys for Female Multiple Orgasm:

Hitachi Magic Wand: A mighty, multiple orgasm machine
SaSi Vibrator: Remembers what you like and feels like oral sex!
Rabbit Habit: Hits every spot, over and over
Pure Wand: Makes exercising the PC a pure pleasure
Babeland Pocket Rocket: Tiny vibe for multiple orgasms to go

How to Choose a Sex Toy

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:07:00 GMT

Need a little help deciding which vibrator to buy?

The truly amazing array of vibrator styles, sizes, and materials can be both inspiring and a little daunting. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or a partner, answering these few simple questions can help cut through the information overload and guarantee a delightful spin with your new sex toy.

Are you looking for a vibrator that...	Then you might like...	Babeland Favorite
...is for clitoral stimulation?	Just about anything that vibrates feels good on or around the clitoris. Smaller clitoral vibrators like the powerful, waterproof, and rechargeable Jimmyjane Form 2, the bestselling Laya Spot, or the Iconic Pocket are easy to use and stronger vibrators like the Hitachi Magic Wand vibrator will help you come quickly.
...will put you in touch with your G-spot?	The Babeland Orchid G wins rave reviews, as does the silicone Gigi vibrator and Jimmyjane Form 6. Look for vibrators with a curve toward the tip for exquisite G-spot stimulation.
...is so quiet your roommate won't hear it?	The electric Wahl is virtually inaudible and comes with nifty attachments. For a whisper-quiet battery vibrator, try the Velvet Jewel, or the Liv.
...gives your hand a little extra oomph?	The Fukuoku, Nanovibe Finger Vibrator, and Ophoria Finger Vibe are tiny vibrators that slide right over your finger. These are great for masturbation, or have your partner wear one to stimulate your clit in a variety of positions.
...is so discreet that airport security won't know what it is?	The Love Lipstick vibrator fools everybody, as does the Ducky and the USB-rechargeable Mia.
...can be used for clitoral or G-spot stimulation... or both?	Check out the long and sleek Slimlines and the Jimmyjane Form 6. For a vibrator that stimulates both pleasure points at once, try the Rabbit Habit, or the rechargeable Soraya.
...can be worn while you're fucking, so your hands are free to seek other pleasures?	Consider the innovative couple's vibrator designed to be worn during sexual intercourse: We-Vibe. Or try a vibrating cock ring like the Duet Cock Ring.
...can be worn by your lover, but gets you both off during penetrative sex?	Slip an Iconic Ring, Wave Rider, or rechargeable Tor cock ring over your favorite penis or dildo; the vibrator is strategically placed to hit your clitoris during penetration.
...is so wonderfully intense, you'll get off in seconds?	The Hitachi Magic Wand vibrator packs a powerful punch, which is great when you want to get off quickly or if you're just learning how to orgasm. For a cordless, battery-operated model, try the bestselling Mystic Wand (and add the Mystic Wand Attachment for some added G-spot fun!).
...features more subtle vibrations for the sensitive clit?	The My Secret Vibe is a waterproof vibe with a soft velvety coating, which is easy to clean and transmits vibrations beautifully. The Jimmyjane Little Chroma is an elegantly designed and discreet vibrator.
...is great for sex or masturbation in the bath or shower?	Cute and waterproof: the Blueberry Buzz, RO-80mm bullet vibrator, Toyfriend Vibes, and Bullet Bunny will all make quite the splash.
...is an international celebrity?	That would be the Rabbit Habit, made famous on Sex and the City and the new plaything of many a celebrity (Eva Longoria, for example). Kate Moss and other celebrities are also fans of the Jimmyjane and Lelo vibes.
...is so stylish, your girlfriends will covet it?	The Siri is sleek, rechargeable, and targeted for clitoral vibration. For true luxury, take a gander at the Jimmyjane Little Platinum or the gorgeous Jimmyjane Ultimate Members Set of 6.
...makes a great gift?	They all do, but we often recommend the Orgasm in a Box (Hers) or Orgasm in a Box (His). Or, for a more deluxe delight, give her the ever-popular (and money-saving) Bunny Love Kit.

Vibrator Tips

Most vibrators are built to provide clitoral stimulation externally — that's where vibration feels the best and is most likely to prove orgasmic.

If you've never used a vibrator before, be prepared to experiment! Pick a toy with variable speeds so you can play around until you discover just what amount of vibration starts your motor. After some initial investigation, you'll be ready to hone in on your vibrating dream date.

Why Buy Silicone Sex Toys?

Sun, 26 Feb 2012 12:34:00 GMT

Five Reasons for Investing in a Quality Silicone Sex Toy

Babeland Silicone Smart Balls

Gee Whiz + Hitachi Magic Wand Combo Ina SaSi Vibrator Rock Chick

1. Silicone feels great, and looks fantastic! Few other materials offer you such a wide variety of colors or textures to choose from. Your dream date might be the sculptured purple-marble double dildo called the Nexus, or you might fancy the realistic flesh tones of the Goodfella. The Ripple butt plug's graduated "beads" offer unique stimulation during anal play, while the rechargeable Gigi vibrator delights G-spots with its perfect curve and varying vibration patterns.

2. Silicone cleans up in a snap. Durable and non-porous, silicone can be boiled for five to ten minutes or placed on the top rack of your dishwasher (as long as there isn't a vibrating motor inside). However, a sudsy soap and water bath will do the trick, too.

3. Silicone is body-friendly. For those with environmental allergies, silicone is a hypoallergenic, medical-grade material that is safe for anyone who is concerned about having a reaction to rubber, vinyl, or latex. If you want to share your non-vibrating toy, or use it with multiple partners, just sterilize by boiling it between each frolic.

4. Silicone warms up quickly, and transmits vibrations extremely well. An excellent conductor, silicone warms to body temperature and retains heat. Plus it transmits vibrations well, so the clitoris, G-spot, and/or prostate get extra buzz courtesy of toys like the Rock Chick, the Vibrating Mistress, and the wildly popular Gee Whiz attachment for the Hitachi Magic Wand (both available at Babeland in a money-saving Combo).

5. Silicone is hand-crafted by small vendors. Because of the rigorous production standards, most silicone is hand-crafted by smaller vendors, like San Francisco-based Vixen Creations, rather than mass-produced in some factory in China. As a result, silicone toys are often higher in price than rubber or plastic; but your money is well worth the investment in terms of quality and longevity.

Consumer's Guide to Different Types of Silicone

While all silicone toys are pliable, they can vary a great deal in terms of their density, with some being much firmer than others. Here’s a quick cheat sheet to the best silicone brands:

Vixen Creations

Dildos of size and substance, pliant texture, and stunning colors, Vixen Creations also pioneered a newer evolution of silicone called VixSkin, which is a lifelike-feeling silicone. Vixen's silicone has earned a loyal following among customers and their products come with a lifetime guarantee. Bestsellers include:
•   Gee Whiz + Hitachi Magic Wand Combo
•   Nexus and Nexus Jr. double dildos
•   Bandit Vixskin dildo

Fun Factory

With bold colors and whimsical designs, these silicone vibrators feature a silky soft texture and ergonomic construction. Bestsellers include:
•   Delight vibrator
•   Laya Spot vibrator
•   Boss Lady vibrator

Tantus Dildos

These dildos and anal toys come in a luscious array of colors and sizes. Tantus's silicone runs to the firm side, and the styles tend to be slimmer, more streamlined, and less expensive than some of the other silicone toys. Bestsellers include:
•   Silk dildos
•   Protouch Plug prostate toy
•   Little Flirt butt plug

Notable newcomers

The luxury vibrators Jimmyjane Form 6 and SaSi feature silicone "skins" so they retain all the hygienic benefits of silicone packaged in sleek and powerful new vibrators.

Care and Cleaning of Silicone

A few notes on giving your silicone tender loving care:Please don't use silicone lube (like BabeLube Silicone or Pink Lube) with your silicone toy. Silicone lube sometimes will break down your toy, rendering it gummy. If you can't live without your silicone lube, we recommend doing a spot test at the base of the toy, or covering it with a non-lubricated condom (like Colored Trustex).

Forcing a silicone dildo into a too-small ring can cause breakage at the base, so it is important to use proper sizing when harnessing your toy. Pick up the 4-Ring Pack from us to give yourself some size options.

Heavy Metal Will Turn You On. Literally.

njoy products guarantee sleek enjoyment

Picture the yielding warmth of flesh juxtaposed with the mirror sheen of stainless steel and you may have an inkling of why njoy toys are so sought after.

Each njoy product is made of solid medical grade steel and is hand-polished to a mirror shine. Stainless steel has low “specific heat,” which means that it’s cold to the touch, but it will warm rapidly to body temperature. Of course if you’re partial to temperature/sensation play, a few minutes in the fridge will provide a rather “chilling” experience; and likewise a short dip in a bowl of warm water will yield a luxuriously warm and sensual toy for your pleasure.

njoy Products

Pure Wand

The njoy Pure Wand was originally designed as a metal prostate toy, but quickly caught on as a must-have G-spot dildo, thanks to its lustrous curve and substantial weight.

Fun Wand

Cool, heavy stainless steel and an aerodynamic shape combine for one of the most beautiful and adaptable dildos you'll ever have the pleasure to own.

Pure Plug

An exquisite base supports a teardrop-shaped plug that is completely seamless and designed for a smooth entry. One of Babeland’s top-of-the-line plugs whose weight you can really feel.

Pfun Plug

Ergonomically designed to target the prostate, this heavy metal butt toy delivers firm, controlled massage to the prostate gland (P-spot) and even G-spots.

Eleven

Eleven inches and 2.75 lbs. of pure, steel pleasure. Ridges on the smaller end stimulate, while the 2" shaft provides maximum fulfillment. The ergonomic shape makes this dildo perfect for kegels or curls.

About njoy

Greg Delong and Chris Clement of njoy started their company with years of engineering and inventing experience. The two have developed everything from bicycles to racing yachts and started in the adult product business with notebooks full of ideas for the future of sex toys.

Their first line of products, meant at first to be their stepping stone, have become their signature: smooth, solid stainless steel wands and anal plugs that are as recognizable as their logo.

"I'd say that njoy excels at high-tech low-tech," Delong said. "By which I mean that, for now at least, we're focused on applying high-tech design tools and manufacturing processes to rather low-tech products."

Delong said that he and Clement are expanding their current line to push the limits of stainless steel manufacturing by using larger, more complicated designs — and the only way to do it is to use the same 3D modeling programs and computer-controlled tooling used in major mainstream industries.

"I liken the process of 3D modeling to virtual sculpture," Delong said, "enabled by a very powerful modeling software which was initially developed by the aerospace and auto industries. The software we use enables us to examine multiple iterations of a design quickly, always tweaking things to achieve a confluence of function and aesthetics, while being mindful of limitations in the manufacturing process."

njoy's newest venture is the Eleven, the company's first hollow stainless steel dildo, to be released in the spring. Because it, and future designs, is much larger than current njoy products, Delong and Clement needed to not only explore ways to produce them in a cost-effective way, but to make them practical for the user. Delong said the company has begun employing new tooling techniques, including computer-controlled machining and TIG welding — a process that allows for greater control and a stronger weld when using thinner sections of stainless steel.

And though their stainless line has consumed most of their time and energy since it launched two years ago, Delong's and Clement's idea books are burning holes in their hands, and they spent 2007 solidifying their infrastructure to get ready for the next big thing.

"I don't think vibration is the future," Delong said. "I think vibration is 100-year-old technology that happens to work really well and make people money. There are other ways to stimulate the body, and I don't think we as an industry have even scratched the surface yet."

Simultaneous Orgasms

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 12:32:00 GMT

How to Hit the Big One in Different Sexual Positions

Many couples try, at least once, to hit that magical moment of synchronicity when you come in unison while fucking (and then hear angels singing). Whether this is your desire, or you just want some tips for coming during partner sex, read on for some handy suggestions.

The key to simultaneous orgasms is ample clit stimulation and pacing. The great majority of women need direct clitoral stimulation to have an orgasm, but you can find yourself without a hand to spare or an arm long enough to reach the clit when you're busy getting your groove on. That's where the vibrator comes in. Using a vibrator during partner sex is a great way to provide easy, hassle-free clitoral stimulation, and with a little practice you can pace yourselves to come at the same time. So which vibrators are best for which sexual positions?

Sonic Ring Kit

Orchid G

Dynamic Duo

Bnaughty

Jasmine

Liv Vibe

Fukuoku 9000

Sasi

Pocket Rocket

Missionary Position

The missionary position is a classic sexual position. It’s a face-to-face position in which the receptive partner is lying on his or her back while being penetrated by the partner lying on top. The missionary position allows plenty of opportunity for eye contact and kissing, and the receptive partner can completely relax and enjoy the sensations while lying on his/her back. The receptive partner can also control the angle of penetration by adjusting leg position.

Despite its popularity, the missionary position can be one of the trickiest for incorporating vibrators. Vibrating cock rings like the Vibrating Leather Cock Ring, or Sonic Ring Kit are popular, as they slip over a penis or dildo and can be positioned for clitoral stimulation during intercourse. Just keep your bodies close together and try longer, slower thrusts so the vibrator has plenty of opportunity to tickle her clit.

The Orchid G, although it is designed for penetrative G-spot stimulation, combines a long slim handle with a convenient curve that can make for ergonomically-pleasing clitoral stimulation in the missionary position.

Woman on Top Position

This sexual position is known variously as Woman on Top, Reverse Missionary or Cowgirl, regardless of the gender of the people involved. The penetrative partner lies on his or her back while the receptive partner kneels, sits, or lies down on top of them. In a popular variation – Reverse Cowgirl – the receptive partner faces away from the penetrative partner. People love this position because the receptive partner can take control and determine the depth, angle, and speed of thrusting.

Almost any vibrator can be used in this position for clitoral stimulation. The Dynamic Duo is a double bullet vibrator which provides lots of intriguing possibilities. Use one bullet for clitoral stimulation while the other is free to roam— from nipples, to dick, to neck, to almost any erogenous zone you can think of! Be even more naughty with the Bnaughty, a bullet vibe with a controller, which is perfect for letting the partner on bottom have his/her way with the vibe and pulsation controls.

Because your hands are free to hold the toy, the woman-on top position allows for easy use of electric vibrators like the Jasmine or Liv. These high-quality, strong vibrators get great recommendations from our customers because they provide powerful vibrations that can be felt by both partners.

Doggy Style (Rear Entry) Position

Doggy style is another favorite sex position. A person who is on all fours is penetrated from the rear, either vaginally or anally. Doggy style can be an effective position for G-spot stimulation in women. It also allows for deeper penetration and a great view for penetrative partners.

Doggy style lends itself well to a fingertip vibes, as the penetrative partner can wrap his or her hand around the receptive partner's waist and hold the Fantasy Fingers or Fukuoko against the clit.

The receptive partner can also lie on top of larger vibes like the Hitachi or the Acuvibe while the penetrative partner enters from the rear.

If you want to experiment with double penetration (simultaneous vaginal and anal sex), doggy style is a great position. Just invite your Elastomer Rabbit Habit or Iris to the party!

Spooning Position

The spooning position is also known as the side-by-side. Both partners lie on their sides while facing the same direction with the penetrative partner behind the receptive partner. Spooning is a relaxing, comfortable position because neither partner has to support their body weight

As with rear entry, its easy for the penetrative partner to reach around to provide clitoral stimulation to a receptive partner. Adding a fingertip vibe like Finger Fun or Fukuoku just adds to the buzz!

For folks who like variation in clitoral stimulation, SaSi is a technological wonder and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. Being on top allows you to control penetration and take advantage of larger, more powerful vibrators. You can also program the SaSi with your favorite patterns of clitoral stimulation for a completely customized ride.

Sitting Position

Sitting is a great position for taking your show on the road—or at least out of the bedroom. It can also be a great position for folks with limited mobility. In the sitting position, the penetrating partner sits in a chair, on the floor, or on a bed. The receiving partner straddles the penetrating partner and sits, squats, or kneels.

Sitting postion offers easier access to the clit, especially when you nestle a smaller vibrator like the Lucky 7 or a Pocket Rocket against the clit.

Sitting positions can be a great opportunity for trying out a strap-on vibrator. Try giving the Remote Butterfly’s controller to a partner to let them control the vibration.

Sex Toys for Couples

Don't be fooled: sex toys are not just for singles. Using toys while having sex with a partner can open up entirely new possibilities in your sexual repertoire, and it's a great way to spice up your sex life and build intimacy with a partner. In fact, toys used during partner sex are limited only by your comfort level and imagination. Prepare for an adventure — the possibilities are endless!

Vibrators

People use all sorts of vibrators while having sex with a partner. The Fukuoku 9000 is a natural choice for a couples' toy. It's a small, cordless vibrator that slides comfortably over your finger or your partner's finger, allowing easy and unobtrusive access to the clit in a variety of positions.

Our customers love the Hitachi Magic Wand. It's a classic electric vibrator that plugs into the wall and is known worldwide for its intense, rumbling action. Press it against your clitoris during penetration, and your partner will feel the vibrations too. Or slip it between the two of you while in the missionary or woman-on-top positions, and he'll feel the vibrations against the base of his cock while you're vibrating your clit.

The Minna Ola is a versatile, waterproof vibe designed for stimulating the G-spot or clit. The great part, though, is that Ola allows you to set the vibration pattern and strength with a soft, interactive push pad; this makes it ideal for partner use, and eliminates that there's-a-hunk-of-plastic-between-us feeling that sometimes arises.

Wearable Vibrators

Looking for a way to get hands-free vibrations anytime and any place? Our customers love the We-Vibe II, which hugs the clit and G-spot, hands-free, during penetration. Or try a remote vibrator like Babeland Remote Vibe Panty, which features a small vibrator, satin panties, and a remote control so you can control your vibes undetected. Try putting it on under your clothes, give the remote control to your partner, and head out on the town for an exciting night of tantalizing foreplay!

Vibrating Cock Rings

Vibrating cock rings are some of our most popular couples' toys. The stretchy cock ring slides over a penis or dildo, while the attached vibrator is strategically placed to vibrate the woman's clit during intercourse (or turn it facing down for vibration against the balls). The Sonic Ring Kit is a great choice for beginners, while the bestselling Duet Vibrating Cock Ring features vibrations for both partners at the same time.

Bondage and Kinky Toys

Sensation toys are made for sharing. If you've ever wanted to tie up a partner — or be tied up yourself — explore your desires with guidance from SM 101 and Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes. Or plan a sensual night in with your sweetie with a blindfold and the convenient Under the Bed Restraints, which turn any mattress or bed into a bondage playground.

Harnesses and Dildos

Dildos and harnesses make hands-free penetration possible. They can also open up unexplored territories, from packing to penetration to strap-on blow jobs! Strap-ons also offer limitless possibilities for gender play.

The Bend Over Beginner Kit contains two slim dildos, a velvety harness, and a cordless mini-vibrator; it's a great tool for couples who want to explore the world of strap-on sex (either vaginal or anal).

Both partners get in on the action when you ride either end of a double dildo. Try the Share Double Dildo or the Nexus with a comfy two-strap harness like the Jaguar or SpareParts Joque Harness.

Butt Plugs

Want to add more little stimulation to partner play, while keeping your hands free to do other delicious things? Butt plugs add spot-on prostate stimulation and indirect G-spot stimulation. The beginner-friendly Bootie makes a gentle introduction to anal play for novices, and bead-shaped beauties like the Ripple Plug invite delightful sensation.
