Dual-Action Vibe Review!

White Nights Blissful Squirmy (AKA Huh?)
Review by Sex Toy Goddess

I always get a bit giddy when I see that Early to Bed has sent a package for me to try. The box arrived and I anxiously tore it open, wondering what pleasures awaited... This time, I was beyond ecstatic to find that I had received a dual-action waterproof silicone baby made from Doc Johnson. I put aside the fact that they called this stunner "White Knights Blissful Stormy." I ignored this silly name, you see, because this was my kind of vibe. It is a sophisticated looker made with a white plastic base, clear silicone (with nubs covering the surface) and silver beads in the rotating shaft. This was a vibe made for me. It isn't cutesy and pink and in the shape of an animal or a flower. It is simple and elegant. It was calling my name...

So, let's cover the basics before we get to what you really want to know. (No, don't skip ahead!) This silicone toy has a rotating shaft that can change direction on you with a quick hit of a button and its three-speed controller both rotates the shaft and vibrates the clit tickler. The whole thing is waterproof and has a wonderfully soft feel. As I said, there is nothing cutesy about this vibe. This is a vibe for those women who identify with their sleek and simple selves.

If you are new to the dual-action world- welcome!! There is no way to describe how fabulous it feels to have something vibrating your clit while your vagina is occupied as well. And in this case, you get to control how fast and even in which direction the toy oscillates! Bonus! While this vibe isn't marketed as one that you can bend on an angle for more intense penetration, it actually does have a lot of give. Don't bend it too much or too often, however, or you'll probably break it. Just keep in mind that there is some wiggle room, so to speak.

For those of you who have used dual-action vibes before and are wondering what the big frickin' deal is, well, this toy is for you. Now, I'm a big rabbit fan (You know the Rabbit, right? Made famous by countless TV shows? Good.), but one thing that has always bugged me about the rabbit was that there was actually, well, a rabbit on the toy. Seriously- why must I have an animal on my clit? (Maybe you'll remember my review of the Mini Bear Hug?) But this- this is a vibe that lives up to its promises and then some! The vibe is surprisingly quiet, stealthy even. It does get louder when you turn on the clit tickler, but as you increase the speeds on the vibrations it gets softer in sound . But, then again, you are probably getting louder by that point so it might be a wash.

I could go on and on about this vibe, and I probably already have. All I really needed to say is that it is FABULOUS!!!!

Vulva


After a couple of phone calls last week, we realized that there are some people out there who still don't know what a Vulva is. So here is a picture of one.

The Vulva is the luscious outside of the female genitals. It pretty much encompasses anything that isn't the Vagina proper (Mons, Labia Majora, Labia Minora, Clitoral Hood, Clitoral Glans ). Lots of people just use the word Vagina to refer to a women's genitals, but I am trying to not let that drive me crazy.. even though it is not quite accurate.

That said, if you want to talk about the outside of a lady's good parts, you would be most proper in referring to it as the Vulva. Or Pussy. But Pussy isn't always well received. Or kindly used.

Thank god we're not in alabama!


I've written about this topic before, but did you hear the latest? On October 1st the Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge to Alabama's ban on the sale of sex toys. This is a battle that has been going on for nine years now and it looks like the end of the line... for now at least. So it is still Illegal to buy sex toys in Alabama (although it is not illegal to buy them out of state or posses them -thank goddess!)!

According to the Seattle Times, Alabama's anti-obscenity law, enacted in 1998, bans the distribution of "any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs for anything of pecuniary (financial) value."

Yikes! I love Illinois!!!!
