Sasha Monet: Glass Dildo Review
Name of Product: Dichroic Spiral w/handle
(double-sided glass dildo)
Product Description: 7″x1.25″ curved rainbow dichroic wrapped shaft with a 3.5″ handle and 1.5″ rounded head, medical grade borosilicate glass (“hard glass”)
Price (approximate): $110.00
Where purchased: Phallix
Overall recommendation: 
This dildo is unusual, artistic, and beautiful. I love glass dildos because they come LOTS of different sizes, shapes, & colors. This dildo is very well made. Even though it is glass it doesn’t break when dropped. This toy is perfect for vaginal use on one end & anal on the other. It is fun for someone to use one side as a handle to play with you. The glass makes the dildo very hard. It takes some getting used to, but it feels very smooth. It can even be put in the dishwasher, microwave, & freezer! Glass dildos are much more sanitary than plastic/rubber. To clean it, you just Rinse with soap & water or throw it in the dishwasher.
Babelube Naturals
There are a lot of good lubes available, but Natural Babelube is head and shoulders above the rest. First of all, it’s made with botanical ingredients, including a lot of organics. It’s vegan, and looks to be mostly hypoallergenic. It felt really great on my sensitive skin and has worked well on my models and clients. It is water based, unscented and fragrance free. This is really important so that my clients don’t go home smelling like they’ve been naughty. It also has almost no taste. The only flavor I can pick out is the very faint taste of aloe when I first put it in my mouth and that soon goes away. The texture is nice, smooth, gel, clear and moist. It doesn’t run or drip.
What really puts this lube ahead of the competition is the fact that it dries to a smooth texture as if there was no lube there at all. Even the best lubes dry to a texture that is sticky, goopy, slimy or otherwise weird and gross. I was shocked that it didn’t leave any sticky weird mess on my hands, and that it didn’t make a mess on my models and clients. I could have gone without washing up after using this lube it dries so nicely.
This lube works really well for many types of play, including anal. It doesn’t dry too quickly, but with anal play you can never be too careful about reapplying lube. A little bit goes a really long way, so this bottle will last a while. It is a very good value for the price!

Blossom Organics Pure Pleasure Arousal Gel
Blossom Organics Arousal Gel is not a product that I would normally choose for myself. I’ve never actually used any products to increase arousal, because most of them are scary. I know that there are quite a few herbs that can be used for naturally increasing libido. I looked into it and looked at some supplements to have on hand just in case I need some help performing, but I never actually bought or used any. Babeland sent me a sample and I was excited to give it a try. I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. I wanted to give it a test drive solo with a toy, and wow it was intense. I had a very satisfying warm orgasm, and my vulva was very very happy. It smelled nice. It felt nice. I am very happy with the Blossom Organics Arousal Gel.
Blossom Organics Arousal Gel isn’t very lube-ish. It is a bit moisturizing but I don’t think it replaces lube. It’s possible that you end up being so aroused and stimulated that you don’t need so much lube. It is a bit tingly because it contains peppermint oil, and I think that’s increases blood flow to the vulva. It also contains a number of other natural herbal ingredients that are specific to women’s sexuality. There are no questionable ingredients, so you know this is safe for your sensitive parts. I suppose that it could work for men too, but this is pretty obviously targeted to women’s sexual pleasure.
Special Bonus! Buy the Arousal Gel with the Blossom Organics lube and Babeland will donate 10% to charity. Or get a free bottle of the Blossom Organics lube with a $60 purchase and code BLOSSOM.

Holiday Vulva (gift guide)
I am still here! I apologize for the lack of posts recently. After I lost the photo studio I had to take another job, so I don’t have as much free time to keep up with regular blogging. Now that things are a bit more settled I have a time slot on my schedule to work on these things.
But for now gift guides! I have mixed feelings about obligatory holiday giving. Gifts are nice all the time, and this is a convenient time of year to give them, but being obligated to give people some random consumer crap to put on a show of giving is just not cool. Yeah, I’ve got a bit of an anarchist streak.
If you really intend to give a gift from the heart there are many sexy toys out there Babeland has an excellent gift guide and many excellent kits ad sets to inspire your sexy giving this year.
They even have a Holiday Vulva to advise you on what gifts might be good!

Babelicious flavored lube in Mojito Peppermint
I am a total lube connoisseur. I wonder if I love lube a bit too much, but then I remember tearing up the delicate petals when I didn’t use lube. I’m not a shriveled hag, but I would do anything to spare my precious pussy from being damaged in any way during acts of pleasure.
Lube is a simple and inexpensive way to enhance any sexual situation, including masturbation. My first experience with the Babelicious flavored lube was not masturbation. It just happened to be convenient when I was packing a bag with sex toys and dildos, so I tossed it in the bag for a sexy hotel meetup. To make a long story short, I had a cock in my mouth and said, “your cock tastes like chemicals.” Sometimes new dildos fresh out of their package taste a bit like some sort of chemical. My partner suggested that I put some of the flavored lube on it. I did, and then I just had a mouth full of flavored lube. IT really wasn’t much of an improvement.
The Babelicious lube is a flavored version of the classic Babeland lube. I really like the texture and color of the classic Babelube, so I was excited to try a flavored version. Sometimes you just end up with lube in your mouth, so it’s nice if it doesn’t ruin the mood with a horrible flavor.
Babelicious is a good lube, much like the Babelube. It’s a clearish color with a gel-ish texture. It’s smooth and I’ve heard other people describe it as more oily than watery. I like that more oily than watery texture myself because it’s so nice and slick. I have a huge box of lubes to use in the studio and the Babelube is one of the top two favorites with models. I haven’t offered up the Babelicious flavored lube yet. I probably will because it’s nice to share. As far as the flavor goes, it still tastes like lube, just a bit more minty. I didn’t really taste any of the mojito flavor. Mint isn’t bad, and as long as you don’t get a glob of it shoved down your throat I’m sure you’ll find it more pleasant than non-flavored lube.

Chrissy & Daphne: Thigh Harness
Chrissy slides the thigh harness on her slim strong leg and pulls pretty Daphne over to bounce on her lap a bit. They’re able to explore several new positions as their lovely stocking clad legs entwine.
Name of Product: Thigh Harness
Product Description: Black neoprene sleeve, fits up to 21″ thigh
Price (approximate): $32.00
Where purchased: babeland
Overall recommendation:
I think it must be a lesbian thing to get off on your lover’s thigh. This harness takes that to the next level and allows you to actually penetrate or be penetrated on the thigh. This is a really fun position to play with and gives us some options other than the usual harness on the hips.
