eco-sexy kitWhat with the greening of America, it is no surprise that folks are clamoring for eco-friendly toys that are good for their bodies as well as the planet. From rechargeable vibrators (like the screamingly popular Delight and Gigi), to paraben-free lubes, to organic and sustainable wood dildos and butt-plugs, Babeland is doing its part to keep up with the demand. I'm happy to report that our friends at Fleshbot have redeemed themselves after releasing the Gene Simmons sex tape on an unsuspecting populous. I won't bother to link the tape (I'm sure we've all seen it by now), but will share what has to be said about the environmentally- and body-friendly boxful that is the Eco-Sexy Kit:
As the globe continues to heat up, our collective urge to go green gets stronger. But what to do when things start heating up in the bedroom too? If you're looking for some environmentally conscious naked fun -- or just can't resist a certain kind of environmentally conscious marketing hype -- consider Babeland's Eco-Sexy Kit: an earth- and body-friendly toy box full of goodies that practically guarantee your fair share of a different kind of global warming. And you won't have to worry about your carbon offset in the morning!There were four parts to my kit: a Babeland massage candle (to get things warmed up nice and naturally), a bottle of Emerita OH Warming Lubricant (to keep the heat going), Mamba condoms (to keep you from getting, uh ... you know), and, best of all, a Laya Spot vibrator (for when you need a little extra kick). All products in the kit (with the obvious exception of the Laya Spot) are all-natural, with no animal testing or animal-derived ingredients...Next I checked out the lube. As a girl with a bit of experience in the fine arts of handjobbery and butt fuckery, I consider myself something of a lube snob: too often, artificial lubes are too thin, dry out too fast, or just taste really bad (an important consideration if you happen to switch to some oral action after you've lubed up your partner's privates). Surprisingly, Emerita was none of these things. It had a pleasing thickness, lasted quite a while, and tasted pretty good (at least by lube standards). Though I was hesitant about the advertised warming action?apparently generated by cinnamon bark?it turned out to be surprisingly pleasant...Finally, the clear crown jewel of the kit: the Laya Spot vibe. Small yet sensuous, the Laya Spot conforms to your curves while fitting into the palm of your hand. The easily accessible controls, which fall right under your fingers when your hand rests on the vibe, allow you to guide your body through six levels of vibration, as well as three distinct pulse patterns. For something so small, the Laya Spot rocks quite hard?I had no idea two AAA batteries could produce so much power.
