Sex Toy Pricing
Well, here's your answer! I spent this morning perusing my favorite sex toy websites, comparing prices on the two most popular sex toys ever: The Hitachi Magic Wand and the We Vibe. The Hitachi has been around forever and is the quintessential vibrator for women. The We Vibe, on the other hand, is new and immensely popular. It provides women with both internal and external stimulation, and can be worn during sex. Wow!
Needless to say, I don't own either of these, but I'm aching to.
Here are how the prices break down on these two vibrators:
Good Vibrations:
- Hitachi Wand: $52
- We Vibe: $130
- Hitachi Wand: $54
- We Vibe: $130
- Hitachi Wand: $45.99
- We Vibe:$130
- Hitachi: $74.95
- We Vibe: not available
- Hitachi: $64.95
- We Vibe: not available, but the We Vibe II is sold for $149.99, on sale now for $79.99
- Hitachi Wand: $39.95
- We Vibe: Regular $129.99, on sale now for $73.95
Amazon.com:
- Hitachi Wand: Normally $60, on sale now for $39.95
- We Vibe: Normally $130, on sale now for $75.94

Holiday Savings for Online Sex Toys

Did you know that sex toys are becoming one of the most popular gifts this year? It's true! Right around the time the economy started to fall, lipstick and sex toy sales went way up---people started buying small, economical gifts for themselves and their loved ones that they could enjoy without burning a hole in their pocket. And while sex toys are usually more expensive than lipstick, these gifts can help you create a date night where you and your loved one stay in to celebrate the holidays and go easy on your wallet.
I've been checking out sex toy and fetish websites, scouring the web for good holiday deals for my readers. Here's what I've found.
As always, I started with Babeland and Good Vibrations, because these are two stores I've worked with a lot in the past and I true. I like how both these stores are women-friendly, sex-positive stores that focus on quality products and sex education, not sleazy pornographic pictures and sky-high prices. These stores are friendly to all types: straight or gay, Christian or not, woman or man. They also have a great selection of all sorts of lubes and sex toys, although their BDSM and bondage section is pretty small, and both stores have good customer service and discreet shipping every time I use them.
Once I'd checked out the holiday deals at those stores, I checked some other stores I've used. Some were having holiday sales; some weren't. I also found some new sites that are offering holiday deals or have a particularly low price for some top-selling toys I think my readers might be interested in, such as the Hitachi Wand (the most popular sex toy ever, as far as I can tell) or the We Vibe, a new luxury toy meant to be worn during intercourse (I want it! I want it! I want it!).
Here's what I found. None of these stores has asked me to do this and I'm not getting any sort of compensation for these reviews; this is all just information I found that I wanted to share with my readers as the holidays begin.
- Babeland is having several holiday specials. Their Black Friday Extravaganza is going on from now til 11/30, and you get a free vibrator + free shipping if you buy anything over $70. From now til Christmas, you can have free shipping on any orders of $50 or more (that's one good sex toy, so it's worth it), and if you own a blog you can also write a short post about one of their Objects of Desire that you want for Christmas (or any other holiday!) and enter a drawing. The winner will be picked on Christmas day and will receive $1,000 worth of sex toys from the store, so if you like sex toys, you might as well enter and test your luck.
- Good Vibrations isn't having any holiday specials (yet) that I've found, but they do offer a $5-0ff coupon if you sign up for the email newsletters. This store also has a wider selection of BDSM, fetish, and bondage toys than Babeland, including several good books and some toys not only intended for beginners.
- Eden's Fantasy is having holiday sales, including free shipping on orders over $59. They're also offering 35% off California Exotic Rabbits and 50% off on some selected toys. For cute stocking stuffers, they also have some cheap vibes and toys for under $10 on their Sale page. This store passed the important "Anal Lube Test" (meaning, like Babeland and Good Vibes, they don't sell desensitizing anal lubricants, which are dangerous for customers and indicate a store cares more about making a buck than customer safety), and Eden's Fantasy also has a decent bondage and fetish collection for sale.
- I was really pleased to discover the online store My Pleasure. This store's webpage is neat, tidy, and classy. There are no pornographic images and customers can feel good about purchasing there. My Pleasure has an education section with loads of information about sex, toys, lubricants, and more; they also pass the Anal Lube Test. They're also having a holiday sale on several vibrators, dildos, costumes, lingerie, and other items. During the week of Thanksgiving, you can get 10% off all purchases, 15% off purchases of $75 or more, and 20% off purchases of $125 or more.
- Xtreme Restraints is, in my opinion, not a classy, customer-friendly sex store. I really hate the online stores that show pornographic ads and seem to think sex is a dirty secret to make money on rather than a special bonding experience between two adults. Not surprisingly, they failed the Anal Lube Test. However, I felt this store was worth mentioning because it offers a wide array of BDSM toys and gear for everyone from total beginners to Masters with years of experience. Whether you want medical gear, fetish wear, costumes, head gear, chastity devices, enema supplies, mouth gags, or serious bondage equipment, this store offers it. Xtreme Restraints is also having a holiday sale and is offering free shipping on orders more than $69.
- Sensual Sutra is another site I found that passed the Anal Lube Test and is classy and positive about sexuality. On the other hand, you can tell a lot about a store by their lubricant section, and I noticed this store didn't have a lot of quality lube (except the standards Eros and Astroglide that you find everywhere) but had a lot of flavored and sugary lubes that seemed more fit for a teenager's chapstick flavors than an adult's lubricant. This store has a few restraint items (mostly different types of handcuffs) and no big holiday product sales that I could find, although they are offering free shipping on orders more than $89.
While perusing these sites, I never found one that sold my favorite vibrator of all time, the Rabbit G, sold by Adult Toy Shoppe (that store, unfortunately, has not posted any holiday sales). If you can't decide what toy to get your loved one, I highly, highly recommend this one. Basically, it's fantastic--so fantastic I broke mine. (Oops.) Still, I use it even broken, and I long for the day I can afford a new one. This baby might be expensive, but it's well worth it--I've tried a plethora of dildos and vibrators in my time, and even other rabbit vibes, but nothing else even comes close.
Anyway, as Thanksgiving draws near, have a happy and safe holiday and start thinking about what to buy for Christmas gifts! :)

Lubricants
First, there are two types of lube you should never buy: anal desensitizing lube, and lubes with Nonoxynol-9 (N-9). There are many sex toy stores that sell these lubes, and you should never purchase from these stores. Anal desensitizing lube can cause real internal damage by numbing you to pain intended to warn you something is wrong. Lubes with N-9 claim to help prevent against pregnancy and HIV, but actually increase the risk of HIV and STDS by creating tiny tears and abrasions inside the vagina and anus. Some good stores that don't sell these lubes and care about their customer's health are Babeland and Good Vibrations.
There are three main types of lubricants: water-based, oil-based, and silicone-based.
Water-based lubes are thinner, safe for your body, and easy to clean afterwards. They are safe to use with condoms and other latex products, as well as with sex toys. Sometimes, however, they can be too thin and dry out too soon for anal play.
Oil-based lubes aren't safe to use with condoms or latex. Oils can also disrupt the amount of healthy bacteria in the vagina, causing infections.
Silicone-based lubes feel more like oil, but are safer for your body. You can use them safely internally, and they tend to be thicker and longer-lasting, so better for anal play. You can't use them with your silicone sex toys, though, or the chemicals will react and melt your toy! Also, these can be harder to wash out afterwards.
Sweet or flavored lubes often have their fruity, sweet taste because they contain glycerin. This sugary lube can cause yeast infections in some women, since sugar disrupts the balance of healthy vaginal yeast. So women, be wary of sweet-tasting or fruity lubes!
Also, "do-it-yourself" lubricants are usually not a good idea; stick to water- or silicone-based lubricants from a store. Crisco, baby oil, hemorroid cream, vaseline, and other over-the-counter oils may seem like a good idea because they feel slick, but the oil inside will cause your condoms to fail, and can cause infections when used vaginally. They are also really hard to clean out afterward. Spit dries out too fast and leaves your skin even drier than before.
If you self-lubricate a lot during vaginal intercourse; congratulations! Stick with a thick lube (like Maximus) for anal and you will be set. If you need vaginal lubrication, too, you might want to buy a thinner lube as well, or consider buying a lube sampler from Babeland.
Be safe!

Our Review Criterions
- Anal Lube Test
- Atmosphere
- Site Design
- Site Professionalism
- Toy Variety
- Products
- Customer Service: speed of reply
- Customer Service: friendliness and politeness
- Informational Articles
For a more complete description of each, keep reading below...
Anal Lube Test: The #1 way to know if a store cares about its customers, or is exploiting sex to make a buck, is to look in the lube section. Do they have a desensitizing anal lubricant? Don't purchase from that store. Anal pain is how your body warns you serious damage is about to occur. A company that sells you something it knows will hurt you is not to be trusted. It is probable that their products are of lower quality and less safe materials, because this store is interested in making money, not offering quality, safe sexual products.
Atmosphere: Is the site upscale or sleazy? There are stores that treat sex as a joyful celebration, and stores that view sex as a sleazy, dirty moneymaker. We want to make sure you avoid the bad kind and stick to the good!
Site Design: How user-friendly is the site?
Site Professionalism: Does the site suffer from bad grammar, obvious typos, and spelling errors? If a company hasn't put the effort in to make a professional site, you can bet they won't put the effort in to provide you with quality care or products. Sloppy work on sites means sloppy work everywhere.
Toy Variety: What kind of toys do they offer? Does each category offer many different choices?
Products: Is this site offering top-quality products, or simply cheap knock-offs at a jacked-up rate?
Customer Service: speed of reply. Email takes seconds to read and reply. Companies who can't be bothered responding to customer concerns show a blatant lack of care for their customers. We want you to work with a company where you are seen as a human being, not a wallet! Also, companies who simply never deign to respond show a severe lack of decorum, manners, and politeness.
Customer Service: friendliness and politeness: Are responses polite, friendly, and eager to ensure customer satisfaction? If not, look somewhere else!
Informational Articles: Companies that care about their customers often include great informational articles about sex, sex education, tips, product help, buyer's guides, and more. These sites show they genuinely want their customers to lead sexually healthy lives. Sites that just sell toys often want you to buy their product, pay, and leave them alone.

Review: The Hummingbird

I'll start with the positive reviews first. I was really excited to get this toy! The site says the cupped side can be used to "cradle the clit" and the nub to "pinpoint pleasure." It sounded like a fantastic idea! Also, this vibe, which runs on 2 AA batteries, has a super smooth vibration with a really varied range of speeds; I love this feature. It is great to go from a gentle whisper to a powerful shake, and this toy has that versatility. Also, it is super quiet! Even on its highest settings, the vibration stays smooth and the noise level is a gentle hum. It's also waterproof and easy to clean.
On the negative side, this vibe didn't do for me what it was supposed to: deliver consistent orgasms. I was disappointed that the "clit cradle" experience was actually just rather ho-hum (pun intended). Of course, different vibes work for different women, but this just didn't work for me. Sometimes I would enjoy the sensation, and sometimes I just would lie there waiting and staring at the ceiling, but I rarely orgasmed. I do feel it fair to mention that this vibe did give me one amazing orgasm. I'm not sure what was different that day (alignment of the stars? I was more turned on?), but out of nowhere, the low vibrations began to turn me on, and when I turned it up to high, I was immediately shaken by an earth-shattering, long-lasting O. It was hot! However, after several weeks of play sessions, that one lone O remains an isolated event I have been unable to replicate. In fact, usually playing with this toy is pretty blah. Sometimes I get turned on, but for such a genius design idea, I am often left wondering what I'm doing wrong.
Now, today as I prepared for my review, I was browsing photos and other reviews. Since I'd assumed the nub was for clit play, I'd been using it that way and was unimpressed. So you can imagine I was surprised to learn it is also made for the G-spot. I gamely tried it out, and again got so-so results. First, this vibe is hard. It is not made for comfortable insertion. I used lube, relaxed, breathed slowly, and proceeded carefully. Needless to say, the hard plastic and funky shape aren't really made for vaginal insertion, and I would never recommend it for fucking. It reminded me a lot of a trip to the ob-gyn, and not in a good way.
Once inside, I found the large shape and strong vibe pleasurable. I experimented with different positions, trying to find my G-spot, but when rotating it had to be very careful about that pesky nub. It simply isn't vagina-friendly. It was a turn on, but still no O, and for several minutes after use my insides were sore from that hard plastic nub. So, I would give it a big thumbs-down for internal use; find something softer and smoother.
Overall, I wasn't thrilled with this vibe, which was a disappointment. However, for just 20 bucks, it is worth a shot just to see if you like it, since "different strokes for different folks" and all that. Plus, I would say it is a great stocking stuffer or bachelorette party gift since it is pretty, comes from a great company, and super cheap. Overall, I would say avoid it for yourself and invest in something more expensive, smoother, and made of softer material. Happy humming!

How to Deal with Female Ejaculation Messes
So, if having sex for the rest of your life on cold, painful, hard tile floors is not appealing to you (me, either!), I have amassed some resources from internet research, sex toy websites, the wisdom of my girfriends, and years of experience. Here are a few trinkets that should do the trick:
1. The most obvious (and most unappealing) answer is to just have sex in places where it won't matter if you spray and where cleanup is easy. These include the outside (ick!), the shower (I hate standing up for sex!), or hardwood/tile/linoleum floors (ow!).
2. The next, but equally unappealing, suggestion is to change the sheets (and bedcover, and blanket, and pillows, and mattress cover, and mattress if you're like me...). Again, good sex deserves to be rewarded with good cuddling and sleep, not hopping your naked butt out of bed to do laundry!
3. Towels. Lots and lots of towels. Put them under your butt, and have more ready nearby so you can just change them out as you soak through. Of course, the downside is it's hard to aim for one tiny towel during a rompin' good time, it kills the mood to stop and change towels mid-scene, and you can still soak through to the bedding.
4. Aim for the man. Let's face it, I've never met or heard of a guy who was not absolutely thrilled with female orgasm. Most are willing to drink it; though some may balk at that, none mind getting it on their skin. It's easier to wash a man than a sheet.
5. Get creative with your mattresses. One idea is to put two made mattresses on your bed. After sex, throw the top one on the floor and sleep on the warm, dry one underneath. Another idea is to buy a plastic mattress cover. Or, if you don't like creaking your way through sex, buy an inflatable plastic bed that you can just hose off afterward.
6. Buy a commercially-made furniture protector for this very purpose. I found several sex toy stores that carry them. Holistic Wisdom has a waterproof throw for $85. Getinthemood.com sells disposable Luv Liners for $12.99 and washable Luv Linens for $36 (although I feel compelled to mention the site isn't very professionally done and has spelling and grammatical errors at a high school level). A Woman's Touch sells a Liberator's Shag/Satin Thro for $86. Have fun, wash, and reuse.
