Ophoria Bliss #3 and case

Cute, little, surprising, smooth and black are the first words that come to mind when thinking of the Bliss 3 Mini Vibe in Noir (black) that Fascinations was kind enough to send me to review. The Bliss 3 Mini Vibe is five inches in length and about one and a half inches in diameter. It’s made from silicone and takes two AAA batteries, which are included. The power of this AAA battery-powered vibrator did surprise me, it’s more powerful than I thought.

The vibrator comes packaged in a black box where the Bliss sits, after opening it up you will find your batteries, black carrying case, one year warranty and an user manual. The body of the vibrator alternates between a smooth surface and one with deep noticeable

The ridges

ridges. The silicone is smooth and firm, you can tell that it’s 100% silicone. The battery compartment is easy to access with a quick pull and twist. The on and off switch is a simple push button which activates nine different settings, three continuous, building and pulsating vibrations. To turn off, you simply hold down the button for five seconds.

Since it’s made from silicone, stick with water based lubricant. To sanitize, stick with a 10% bleach solution but you can also use soap or toy cleaner to clean. Be careful as it’s not waterproof and only splash proof.

I tried the Bliss #3 with PG and by myself. PG really liked it as it was sleek and easy for him to use. He turned it on and put it right by my clit before tying me to a bench for one of our scenes.  He liked it because I can take more pain with stimulation. We tried using it afterwards but I was more concerned about doing other things then using it. However, it will be a possible vibrator to pack for our scenes when he wants to tease me.

When I used the toy on my own, I enjoyed it. It’s a good warm up vibrator and I was able to bring myself to orgasm with it a few times however most of the time I used it for warm up. A disclaimer though, I do have a vertical clitoral hood piercing which I find makes orgasm easier. I’m not sure if I would have been able to orgasm with it before the piercing. I’ve enjoy using the Ophoria Bliss #3 Mini as a warm up tool and move on to a more powerful vibrator towards the end. It’s a bit to short to do much for me internally but it does feel nice. The vibration settings really stand out and I enjoy them all except for one. For me, it makes a great teasing vibrator and turned out to perform better than I thought it would. Thank you for sending it to me Fascinations.

VixSkin Raquel by Vixen Creations has become one of my favourite dildos. A pearly, shimmering pink shaft and white base invites you in, while the length (7.5 ” insertable) is long enough to play and fill you with. The base is fairly large which makes it perfect for anal play, harnesses (it may cause a problem with some) but the best part of the base is when you are using it on someone else, it provides a handle for solo and partner play.

One of my favourite things is that its made out of Vixskin, it’s soft, squishy and luxurious with a strong inner core to help keep its shape. It’s one of my favourite material that I love. It has the advantage of regular, firm silicone (easy to clean, non-porous and phthalate-free) but is wielding and oh so soft. I couldn’t help but squeeze it over and over again once I got it. It’s something that you should try. It not only feels great holding it but inside feels fleshy and allows you to really squeeze down on it.

For me, it worked for G-spot stimulation, when I was in the mood however it does require a lot of thrusting (which is never a bad thing). The base has a suction base which can be used but I did find it popping off when used vigorous.

The dildo comes packaged in a clear, plastic cylinder which makes it handy to store. The only downside I found was that it does pick up a lot of lint however it can be easily cleaned off. I’ve enjoyed the Raquel over the past couple of months and I think my other dildos are getting a bit jealous.

Thank you Vibrator.com for the Raquel. Check out their site for other Vixen dildos and sex toys.

PG really enjoyed the Harmony Wireless Wonder, “like most males, I’m fascinated by invisible action at a distance. TV remotes, garage door openers, car alarm tweeters, they’re all good. (I’m even geeky enough to have soldered together a home-made radio control for an alarm when I was a teenager.) So it was with more than just erotic interest that I approached testing this remote control vibe.

We started by tying Alpine spread-eagled to the bed. Purely for science of course – we didn’t want thrashing to mar our careful study of the effects. After suitable foreplay with hands and implements, I began activating the unit. It’s got seven separate cycles, including one I loved but Alpine loved to hate: a quick rev up that excites her, then quickly drops away before she can cum – sort of like a series of surf waves that never let you catch a ride.

One downside is that there’s no feedback loop to the remote to tell you which cycle you’re on. However, it was usually pretty easy to tell, both from the sounds Alpine made, and from the sounds the vibe itself made. It’s audible enough, even when inside someone, that you wouldn’t be doing naughty things at the library with it. You could probably get away with it in a night club (and in the kind of clubs Alpine and I frequent, no one would be upset anyway…) The remote’s range is between two and four meters, BTW.

This unit could be used for public or private teasing, or for “skinnering” a pussy to response to other stimulus – activating it as you slap breasts for example.  All in all, it’s a toy with lots of potential.”

I did like the wireless bullet however I found it frustrating in some ways.  The battery life seemed to be really short. I’ve had to replace them twice since getting it and only a couple of play sessions out of it.  I’ve tried to keep track of how long they lasted but got a bit distracted. Another thing that PG mentioned is that it’s difficult to know what setting it’s on and sometimes it doesn’t register when you press the button. This happened when we were right beside each other or a couple of meters apart. It did work sometimes when we were in a separate room or through a door. It’s really difficult to find a good wireless bullet but so far this is the best one I’ve tried out despite the faults however it could be improved.

I did enjoy playing with it and having someone else have the controls (even when it put it on the setting that I didn’t like) It has 7 settings for you to explore. Three are straight vibrations (low, medium, high) and 4 separate patterns ( low to high rev, pulse, faster pulse, and a 3 short with one long pulse). The bullet is made out of ABS plastic and is can not be sanitized, if you want to share you can put it in a condom. The bullet is 3.5” long, diameter of 1 3/8” with a 3” plastic cord. It does take 3 N type batteries in the bullet and one 12V battery in the remote. There is an o-ring which keeps the toy waterproof, I had no issue cleaning the bullet or having any water seep in. You can clean it with soap and water, 10% bleach solution or with toy cleaner. I would advise not to use this for anal play.  I would give this toy a 3 out of 5. It could easily be a perfect toy if they could fix the above issues. For the current issues and the price, I think it’s a bit overpriced.

The Sprite Vibe is a cute, bullet vibrator made by Fun Factory. Normally, I tend to stay away from bullet vibrators but with the cute colours, silicone sleeve and the fact that it’s made by Fun Factory I couldn’t resist trying it out.

Generally bullet vibes don’t work for me, they are nice additions to making other toys vibrate but with using watch batteries and the lack of strength they are generally a miss for me. I was a bit hesitant when I received it but I wasn’t pleasantly surprised when I started to use it.

A quick disclosure; I do have a recent vertical clitoral hood piercing which does make clitoral orgasms easier and faster for now. To test the Sprite, I used some other bullet vibes that didn’t come close and to make sure it seems right. It’s not a love but I liked it.

The Sprite is a cute vibrator with flowers on it. It comes in two colours, blackberry and turquoise. The silicone matte sleeve is a nice addition to the bullet as it allows the vibrations to transmit and diffuse. You don’t have the same pin point vibrations that you do with typical bullets and the  buzz is diffused a bit but is still there.

Under the silicone sleeve is a white bullet that takes 3 watch batteries (LR44) and is made out of ABS plastic. The bullet has 3 speeds (a, b, c, off). The slowest speed is barely recognizable but the highest speed works well for me. The bullet has an o-ring which has been effective so far.

The Sprite vibe is a great beginner guide or for those that aren’t fans of strong vibrators (like the Hitachi) It’s small and compact which makes travelling with it easy or get for getting in the tight places during intercourse. You can sanitize the sleeve by boiling it in water for 3 minutes or along with the bullet wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution. Stay away from silicone lube but go crazy with water based. You can buy it at Babeland along with other vibrators.

The thigh harness is a unique addition to my harness collection. When I first received it, it looked like a knee brace that I had to wear when I sprained my knee when I was a teenager. The thigh harness is by Sportsheets and is made from neoprene. It’s not attractive but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have lots of sexy fun.

One thing that is great for it is those times that you are simply exhausted but your partner still wants to keep going. PG and I tested it out after a hot scene where my sex drive was more than his that day. I asked him if I could strap it on his thigh and he agreed. After I was able to work my way on the dildo, I was able to move myself up and down while he was able to play with my breast and watch me get off.

The Leo, Goliath and Hank all fit in with no problem however the 02 couldn’t. The O-ring part is about 1.25″ diameter but I was able to fit a dildo that was 1.75″. It can fit dildo smaller than 1.25″ but I wouldn’t try anything less than 1″. Babeland says it fits up to a 21″ thigh. We had no problems with it and once the Velcro was strapped on, it held tight on us. I tried to try this out solo but I couldn’t get a pillow that it would work with.

The thigh harness would work well for those with disabilities or other medical conditions. It can be a way for you to get your partner off with limited movement.

The thigh harness would work in the water and easily cleaned by putting it on the gentle cycle in the washer (I aired dried it) or soap. It`s a versatile product and a way to spice up your sex life. It wont last forever but for the price, it can be easily replaced. Check out Babeland for your own.

Playing with bit gags is always a pleasure for me. It’s a great gag to use during pony play or regular scenes. The bit gag by Spartacus is well designed and works perfectly for my uses. The gag portion is made out of silicone which is a nice change from rubber that I’ve experienced before. The joys of using silicone is you don’t get that horrible taste when you bit into it and the smell is minimal. The gag is 5″ in length but only 3″ of that is usable.  The gag is attached to two nickel rings, my only complaint about them is they aren’t sealed and have a small gap in them. If they were a bit more flexible, you would be able to remove the gag to clean it but unfortunately it’s not. Leather (unlined) straps attach to the rings and the gag is locked is closed with a belt style closure. There are 9 holes with a bit of room at the end if you need to make more.

The silcone bit gag allows plenty of breathing room and my one friend who has jaw issues with other gag, can use this one without any trouble. It helps keep the screaming and bratty words at a minimal, the muffles and moaning can still be heard. If you are new to gags or simply like more room, keep it a bit looser until you are ready. Also, with playing with gags, you should come up with a visual safeword like holding something like keys or even humming something (if you are in an environment to hear)

My favourite ways to clean the gag is to use a 10% bleach solution or boil the silicone piece in a pot while holding the rest of the gag.

I really enjoyed playing with the bit gag. PG has one and we mostly use it when we do pony play but it’s a stable in our collection and by simply putting it on, my body relaxes and I’m ready to be a good pony.

I wanted to really try one of these paddles since I laid my eyes on it. I envisioned being able to have slut slapped all over my body.

PG was happy to test it out on me and thought, “Body writing is hot; hitting bodies is hot. What could be hotter than body writing by body hitting? Gotta confess I was a bit sceptical about whether this slapper would work – as far as stencilling the word “SLUT” on, that is. I never doubted it would work as a slapper. Obviously, for maximum contrast, and to avoid “overprinting,” we didn’t want to do a warm-up, or to hit repeatedly. So I wound up and whacked Alpine hard, twice – once on each cheek. You can check out the result in the photo. Several distinct letters, though not the whole word. Clearly, the letter omission was operator error. The inversion was a result of the slapper being made for right-handed folks; I hit hardest with my south paw. I wonder if Ned Flander’s Leftorium would have what I need? Meanwhile, I’ll work on getting the missing letters in by whacking right. It’s a tough job, but….”

As PG said, unfortunately we couldn’t get it to work the way we wanted however it was still fun trying.  The leather paddle is 32 cm in length. The red colour below the leather is actually a sheet of paper but that’s expectable for only $25.18.  After using it multiple times, the paddle is showing. The leather around the S is a bit worn but it’s still holding well.  The leather is of decent quality and you can use either side of the paddle, depending on your results.

The paddle is made by Sportsheets. It’s two pieces of leather that are stitched together with a solid handle that appears to be kept firm with metal.  Due to the two pieces of leather, it makes a nice sound as one piece of leather hits the leather while the other one hits your skin. The Slut Impression Paddle has a bit of a sting to it and can make most bottoms red. Thank you Sextoy.com!

Nipple play and nipple torture is one of my favourite BDSM activities. I love the feeling of teeth biting down on them, the flicker of a tongue, lips sucking, clamps pressing on them and generally anything that involves them.

As such as I love clover clamps, you can’t wear them for very long. The adjustable press nipple clamps provides a range of sensations. Since it’s adjustable and provides a broad base, you can play with a range of sensations. At the lightest strength it barely hangs on and provides a nice grasp. After tightening the screw, it provides a firm pinch. You can increase the sensation by pulling on them if you aren’t getting the reaction that you would like.

They are easy to use and are made by Spartacus. I’ve never had any trouble with products by them and my other ones are still going strong.  The only trouble that I had was the screw to adjust it was getting stuck but after adjusting them multiple times, they work like a charm.

To test them out, we used them during scenes and while having sex. The chain is sturdy and thick which makes pulling them easy. We adjusted them to the tightest setting while he pulled. The pulling sensation on them can easily put me over the edge and allow a stronger orgasm when I’m close.

We were going to test them out for a fancy dinner but due to having to re-schedule for over a month, we couldn’t. I didn’t want to wait any longer to post this review so I tested the endurance part on my own.

I spend over 3 hours wearing them (not all the way but enough to be snug). My nipples were sensitive but it wasn’t unbearable. I could easily wear them for a night out in the city for a fun little scenario. Image being at dinner and a gentle tug could easily put you back into the proper headspace. I’m looking forward to doing this in the future.

You can get the adjustable press nipple clamps at Sextoy.com.

Before the package even arrived, I quickly realized that this was the first dildo that I had with balls on. I usually stick to ones without but trying new things is always fun and important. When I first got Hank, I was a bit surprised about how small the balls were compared to the shaft. They seemed unproportional. That must of been influenced from my personal experience but I am wondering, does anyone else think that?

The Tantus Hank Dildo is made out of a matte feeling silicone. It has a 6 1/4 ” insertable length which provides a good length for me. It’s not big enough that I need a warm up. I was bent over, doggie-style, the first time I tried it. I was getting fucked with it hard and it felt great in me. Before I knew it, I was orgasming.

I’ve enjoyed using it on myself and the balls come in handy as a handle.  I tried to get PG let me try it on him but he won’t let me however he did help me tested it and always, when it comes to dildos,  he enjoys it when I get off. It can be used in a harness as well but I didn’t have any available play partners to try it out with.

I enjoyed the realistic aspects of the dildo. The veins, uneven texture, indent where the urethra would be. It does pick up lint and hair fairly easily but those can be removed by rinsing it off and drying with a lint free towel.

As always don’t use silicone lube on Hank and to disinfect wipe with a 10% bleach solution, top shelf of a dishwasher (no soap) or boil. The Hank is a win and is a welcomed addition to my toy collection. In the vast selection of realistic dildos, the Hank steps up.
