Celebrities' Favorite Vibrators

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 02:15:00 GMT

Celebrities Love Their Sex Toys!

You know sex toys have come out of the closet when celebrities find it increases their cachet to rap, or rhapsodize, about their favorite vibrators. Check out these recent appearances in the media!

Miami Rapper Jacki-O reviews a bag of Babeland goodies in the Spring 2005 issue of Vibe Vixen magazine.

The Pocket Rocket

On the Pocket Rocket:

"It's discreet, so if a guy came across it looking through your clutch or it if was sitting around in your apartment, he won't be like, 'what the hell?' It's small and cute, but it's not hands-free. That's the only inconvenience."

On the Sweetheart Vibe:

The Sweetheart Vibe

"A lot of men get intimidated by vibrators, like, 'why do you wanna use that?' But with this one, there's no intimidation. It's cute and hands-free, and you can use your hands for other things. So while you're getting your pleasure, you can give him pleasure. This is my favorite!"

Eva Longoria

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria tells fans about her love affair with the Rabbit Habit in the February 2005 issue of Self magazine.

The Rabbit Habit

"I didn't begin enjoying sex until I started masturbating. Before that, I really wasn't sexual. I bought my first vibrator three years ago. It's a shame I didn't discover it sooner. Now I give Rabbit vibrators to all my girlfriends. They scream when they unwrap it. The best gift I can give them is an orgasm."

Missy Elliot

Hip Hop Star Missy Elliot raps about her favorite kind of vibrator (a strap-on like the Audi-Oh or the Remote Butterfly) in the hit song "Toyz," off of her 2004 album titled "This is Not a Test."

The Remote Butterfly

"I keep my butterfly close when you don't wanna be bothered Don't come waking me up, cause I ain't giving you nada Cause I got me a toy And it works for me and it lasts longer than the battery So you best believe that."

Jenny McCarthy

Former Playboy Bunny and Actress Jenny McCarthy appeared on Howard Stern in October 2003, telling the talk show host that her favorite vibrator is the Pocket Rocket, and that she uses it several times a week.

Teri Hatcher

Teri Hatcher, another Desperate Housewives Star comes out about her vibrator use (if not her favorite brand), in the February issue of Bazaar. Here's an excerpt from the article:

"I'm not looking to fall in love and marry. Not because I'm angry or defensive; it just isn't on my agenda right now." Which means her own love life is considerably less racy than her character's. "Yes, I would say less," she sighs-"unless you count my vibrator; then it's more!"

Sarah McLachlan

We're not sure what toys this sexy siren keeps under her bed, but we do know that we get a kick out of seeing singer Sarah McLachlan posing with a Babeland T!

Eminem

Rapper Eminem follows in the footsteps of Ice T (who told Vibe Magazine several years ago that he goes clubbing with a Pocket Rocket in his pants, for the ladies), and devotes a few lyrics to his girlfriend's vibrator use in the song "Crazy in Love" off his album "Encore."

Slimline Vibrators

"Like a devil in disguise, You're always full of surprises Always pullin' devices Out your personal vibrators and dildos You fucked yourself so much You barely feel those anymore You're only 24 but you're plenty more now."

The Vibrator's Illustrious History

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:53:03 GMT

We can thank the Industrial Revolution for the means of producing mechanical vibrators: in 1869 and 1872, George Taylor patented the first steam powered "massage and vibratory apparatii." These were promptly introduced as a medical apparatus for the treatment of "hysteria": was the lady of the house feeling blue, or depressed, or a little light on equal cultural privileges? What could make her feel better than a bit of "uterine manipulation" by a medical doctor, until her stress dissipated in a series of muscle spasms?

The obvious popularity of this treatment drove the to become a household appliance by 1905, advertised in women's magazines and catalogs in extremely vague terms that refered to women's health and increased vitality. Unfortunately, vibrators' brief moment in the sun of legitimacy clouded over when they started showing up in the early stag films of the twenties. They lingered in the twilight world of novelty devices, or disguised as massagers, until the seventies when the first vibrator was actually marketed as a sexual accessory.

This boomed into a huge, albeit aesthetically-questionable business of unattractive sex toys, that was partly remedied by the entry into the fray of women-owned sex stores, and more informed and demanding customers. You wanted your toys to be better made and more attractive, and you got it. Vibrators now come in every color and design imaginable, so you can get off with a rubber Ducky, a tube of lipstick, or a brightly-colored sea creature if you so choose. It's easier than ever to buy a vibrator and take it for a spin. Even if you're not feeling blue, those resultant "muscle spasms" will, at the very least, relieve tension and put a smile on your face!

Check out our extensive line of modern vibrators, and do with them what you will!

The Fascinating History of the Dildo

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 19:57:00 GMT

Goodfella Dildo Eleven Jaguar Harness + Purple Leo Combo

Some folks speculate that the word "dildo" comes from the Italian word "diletto," or "delight." Buy yourself a dil, and you're taking part in a delightful tradition that spans almost every culture, and that's been documented back more than thirty thousand years: images of dildos have been found in Upper Paleolithic art! They show up in several Greek vase paintings of the 5th and 4th century BC, and were donned by Greek actors in classical stage comedies.

In the Hellenistic Age, if you had wanted a dildo of padded leather or wood, it probably would have come from the coastal city of Miletus in Asia Minor, which was at that time the world's "olisbos" (that's "dildo" to you!) manufacturing and export hub. A Medieval novel mentions "Cantonese Groin:" a plant that, with a mere soaking in hot water, swelled and hardened to make a fine dil. The Kama Sutra refers to dildos made of wood and tubular stalks or reeds tied to the waist, while a 19th century Chinese painting features a woman enjoying a dildo that's attached to her shoe.

Not everyone had time to soak a Cantonese Groin. Besides the "pret a porter" leather, there've been "ready to wear" dildos of almost any material that could strike anyone's fancy; carved from rare woods, ivory, jade and onyx, even cast in gold or other precious metals. These days, most dildos are made of various polymers, and the best are made from high-quality silicone.

Check out our extensive line of quality dildos, including those crafted from glass, silicone, and cyberskin.

Anal Toys from Babeland

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:25:57 GMT

Babeland Anal Beads feel great when slowly inserted and withdrawn gently

Anal toys are a great way to learn how to have anal sex, either through anal masturbation or anal intercourse with a partner. All kinds of people enjoy anal sex, and for good reason: it feels good. Try a plug like the Little Flirt, a vibrating plug like the Pandora, or a prostate stimulator like the Aneros Prostate Stimulator. The muscles and nerve endings around the anus are highly sensitive and can feel fantastic when touched.

All men have prostate glands that can only be reached through the rectum and feel especially good when stimulated during sex. Women's G-spots are easily stimulated indirectly through anal play as well.

These Babeland products can help you get started:

Butt plugs, also called anal plugs, are typically diamond-shaped with a thin neck and a flared base, which prevents them from slipping into the rectum. The bulge in the middle helps the plug stay in place, where it will stimulate the prostate. To find your prostate, insert a finger or small curved butt plug about two inches in and press towards the belly.
Anal beads cause the sphincter muscles to contract, which can put many people into orgasm. Beads come in all sizes and materials, and are a series of beads knotted into place along a string with a ring on the end.
Anal dildos — use a thin dildo anally if you like the in-and-out motion of penetration, or you can try a dildo of any size (with our without a harness) to have anal sex (anal intercourse) with a partner.

Quality Butterfly Vibrator Selection at Babeland

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:24:40 GMT

Babeland Remote Vibe Panty — turn her on from across a crowded room.
.

For hands-free fun, a butterfly (or wearable) vibrator can't be beat. A butterfly/wearable vibrator positions the vibrator over a woman's clitoris via straps, underwear (as with the Babeland Remote Vibe Panty, or other mechanics (as with the best-selling We-Vibe II. If you can imagine a G-string or thong underwear with a little vibrator near your clit, you get the idea.

Women like to wear butterfly vibrators for lots of different reasons. Without having to hold the toy in place, a woman can use her hands to touch other parts of her or a partner's body. During intercourse, a hands-free vibe can be just the thing if your hands are needed to brace yourself or prop yourself up. And many a woman has discovered the secret thrill of wearing a butterfly vibrator underneath her clothing when she goes out for a night on the town.

This particular style of vibe has been around for years — the original was shaped like a butterfly, hence the name. However, in recent years, all kinds of critters and sea creatures have found their way onto these hands-free vibes, so you can choose between dolphins, hummingbirds, and small bears if butterflies are not your thing.

At Babeland we carry several styles of wearable/butterly vibrators.

Quality Butt Plugs from Babeland

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:22:09 GMT

Most butt plugs, like the Little Flirt Plug (pictured), have a distinct diamond shape to facilitate insertion.

Butt plugs are a great way to explore anal sex, either through masturbation or partner sex. The muscles and nerve endings around the anus are highly sensitive and can feel fantastic when touched. All men have prostate glands that can only be reached through the rectum and feel especially good when stimulated with a toy like the Aneros Prostate Stimulator or the vibrating Pandora Plug. Women's G-spots are easily stimulated indirectly through anal play as well.

A butt plug is particular type of anal toy that is typically diamond-shaped with a thin neck and a flared base (like the Little Flirt Plug, pictured) which prevents it from slipping into the rectum. The bulge in the middle helps the butt plug stay in place, so your hands are free to pursue other pleasures. Once the widest point of the toy is past the guardian sphincters, they close around the neck of the plug and voila, the butt plug is plugged.

In addition to the feeling of pressure that many people find pleasing, the anal sphincters reflexively close on the neck of the plug. Finding something there, they reflexively open again, then close. That little pulsing cycle of sphincter clench stimulates the ass, too. If you're new to butt plugs you might want to choose a slimmer toy to start, and work up to those with a bigger bulge. If you're more interested in the in-and-out motion of fucking, you probably want a thin anal dildo rather than a butt plug.

Check out our quality selection of butt plugs or our anal toy shopping advice.

A harness and dildo combination, like the Leo Dildo and Jaguar Harness (pictured here), come in handy when women want to anally penetrate their partners
.

Despite its stereotype as an exclusively gay male practice, all kinds of people enjoy anal sex. And for good reason: it feels good. The muscles and nerve endings around the anus are highly sensitive and can feel fantastic when touched with a toy like the Little Flirt Plug or Ripple Plug.

What Kind of Lover Are You?

By Jennifer Shepherd, the Lipstick Mystic™

Your astrological sign not only reveals your physical "hot buttons," it also suggests which toys, props, and
sensual scenarios are guaranteed to raise your thermostat. Whether you're hoping to ignite your solo sex play
or need the perfect toy for a partner, look to the stars and your sex life will shift from "ho-hum" to high gear.

Aries

Panther Collar & Cuffs

Bend Over Beginner Kit

As a red hot Fire sign, you're famous for spontaneous combustion. Your erogenous zones are super sensitive, and you can go from being completely turned off to quivering with animal lust in nothing flat. Playful, passionate, and dominant in the bedroom, you're on a never-ending quest for sexual supremacy. Your ideal partner enjoys surrendering to your superior seductive powers. Rams are handy with gadgets, but they don't like complicated ones. You prefer toys that stimulate those hot buttons in a direct, intense way. The Hitachi Magic Wand and Wahl vibrators, or the Fleshlight Sleeve could provide you with the ultimate turn-on.

Taurus

You come across as an Average Joe or Jill, so few would suspect that you have a highly unconventional approach to sex. Artsy and creative, you require stimulation at multiple levels. Sight, sound, and smell are all important to you. You enjoy candlelight and watching the suggestive play of shadows on your lover's body. Music is a huge turn on, too, and the right mood music is essential. And you can't get enough of scented oils, massage crémes, and fragrant lotions. Let your fingers do the walking with Babeland Body products, like Babeland Body Kit, Shunga's Chocolate Body Paint or the Babeland Massage Candle Trio.

Gemini

For a hyper sign like you, sex is all in the brain. The trick is to tickle your mind first, then the body. Some Geminis get a sexual high from word play alone so, phone sex, suggestive bedside chat, or dirty limericks may get you in the mood. Others born under your sign appreciate role-playing and sexual theatrics. For all your gift of the gab, you're surprisingly shy when you're up close and personal with someone. So hiding behind a costume or a persona may provide you with the means to experience sweet release. If you're up for a little fun, try Kama Sutra Game, The New Intercourses Aphrodisiac Cookbook or have a good time with the Penis Pokey book.

Cancer

Water signs like you are incredibly intuitive, picking up on subtle cues and flirtatious glances from across the room. When you strike up a sexual spark with someone, it's immediate and earth-shattering. You don't do passion halfway. It's all or nothing. You respond strongly to touch, so a game of footsie beneath the table at dinner might get you stoked. You prefer a partner who takes his or her time and enjoys erotic touch and foreplay as much as you do. Why hurry when you've got all night? Wile away some time by stocking up on the Laya Spot, the Petal Ring Cock Ring vibe, the Progasm and the Berry Delight vibe.

Leo

Looking good is important to you, and you require a lover who will mirror back how gorgeous and fine you are. You demand worship and appreciation. Exhibitionist like no other sign, you have an extensive wardrobe of teensy weensy outfits, G-strings, and the like. Sex is your chance to take center stage and show off all the goodies nature gave you. With your taste for high drama, you enjoy playing with props that inspire a strong reaction. If you're dying to add more set pieces to your collection, check out the Nipplettes Vibrating Clamps, the Handy Slapper, or the Panther Collar and Cuffs.

Virgo

Nice on the outside, naughty on the inside—that's you. Virgo the Virgin was named after the vestal virgins of old, who were only chaste maidens for part of the year. But during sacred rituals they gave of themselves with wild sexual abandon. Like these historic ladies, you carry your own brand of sexual schizophrenia. You specialize in the big tease, luring your prey closer and then pouncing on him or her with raw, unexpected heat. You're addicted to scenarios of wooing and surrender. Go on an anal adventure with the Bend Over Beginner's Kit, or experiment with all kinds of play using the toys in the Sex Toys 101 Kit.

Libra

Imaginative, artsy, and sensitive, for you, sex isn't just sex. It's an opportunity to be transported to a whole new dimension. You have some specific requirements which must be met before you can give yourself to someone. You appreciate kindness, compassion, and selflessness in your partner, because you need a little coddling. At its best, making love is a deeply nurturing experience for you, a moment of soul level bonding. You enjoy props and toys which create more beauty in the bedroom. Experiment with Pony Blinders, the Jaguar Harness and a gorgeous silicone dildo or plug, or try Sensory Set M to enhance your sensual pleasure.

Scorpio

Astrologers always write about you as being sex-obsessed because, well, you are. The primal experience of body-to-body communion is as essential to you as breathing. Since sex is so important to you, you're a bit of an expert at it. Sexual expression is an art form for the typical Scorpio, and you're always improving your technique. Your lover is in for a real treat because you have a finely-tuned sexual radar. You're able to anticipate your partner's turn-ons long before they can articulate them. You mind reader, you! For more sexual research, check out Sex Toys 101, or watch an adult movie. When you're ready to play, go for a toy designed to stimulate all your pleasure points at once, like the Rabbit Habit or the Koi.

Sagittarius

Fire signs like you are into games of power and control. Bondage play and slave and master scenarios bring you to a full steam. You're a bit of a show off in the bedroom, and you have a theatrical poise when you set out to seduce someone. You appreciate a partner who can step into your world of sensual imagination and role-playing. When you focus your full attention on someone, it doesn't take long for him or her to surrender. Your sign has long been associated with magic, and when you weave a sexual spell, resistance is useless. Create your next scene using a Penetration Station, some Clover Clamps, a Flogger, and a Pinwheel.

Capricorn

People underestimate you because your seduction style is so laid back. But with you, slow and steady wins the race. It takes you a while to warm up, but when your circuits are engaged, you're a sexual powerhouse. Earth signs easily connect with raw, animal energies. You like toys that get the job done and you appreciate photography with an explicit erotic appeal. When it comes to seduction, you don't go in for lots of game playing. Your style is more, "Here I am. Do you want me?" You like sophisticated toys, so give the stylish JimmyJane's Little Steel or Little Chroma vibrators a try, or tease your backside with the high-quality Aneros plug.

Aquarius

For you, lust is the mother of invention. You have a progressive and creative seduction style. You adore gadgets of all kinds and are the most technologically savvy of all the signs. You love to please your partner with a variety of toys. Online seduction can be a big turn on for you, and you're into sending lusty instant messages or suggestive web cam shots to your sexual playmate. And more than one Aquarian has been known to send naughty photos on their camera phone. For fun with new toys, try Gigi, Leo Vibe Kit or the Form 6 vibe.

Pisces

As a Water sign, you have thin psychic boundaries. You merge with your partner and easily pick up on his or her energy. You're such a sponge that sex is a huge experience for you. When you make love, your entire nervous system is plugged in to your partner. You're a big fan of soft strokes, sensual foreplay, and nurturing touch. As a super-sensitive type, it takes you a while to relax. Try sensuous products like the Starburst Tickler or ask your honey to buy you the Bunny Love Kit to prepare for that special sexual occasion.
