Hot Octopuss Pulse Solo vs. Duo

Learn the difference between Pulse Solo and Duo

Hot Octopuss is one of the best men’s toys available today.  With its sleek styling, pulse technology, and adjustable fit, it really is a versatile toy for men.  It can be used alone or with a partner, for stroking, or just held in one position. And with the men’s toy category filled mostly with vulgar toys that most men wouldn’t want seen by their partners, the Hot Octopuss Pulse is a refreshing alternative to what’s been available!

With the availability of both the Duo and the Solo, it can be challenging to decide between the Duo and the Solo.  Sometimes people choose because of the price, with the solo being less expensive.  Sometimes it’s because of the ability to share it with a partner.  Or it could be the remote control…  While the remote doesn’t turn the toy on or off, it does adjust the external vibration on the silicone coated Pulse Duo.

I have done a comparison in this video to help you see what the Hot Octopuss Pulse looks like, how it functions, and reasons why you might want one or the other.  Let me know if this was helpful, or if you’ve got things you’d like to explore further regarding the Hot Octopuss Pulse!  I can be reached via email at Roylin at Trystology.com.

We-Vibe Nova Vibrator Review

A Unique and Effective Rabbit Style Vibrator!

I have to admit, when I first saw that We-Vibe Nova I was NOT impressed.  Now to be clear, I only saw it in pictures online, so from that perspective, I thought it looked awkward and uncomfortable.  It wasn’t until a distributor told me how powerful it was, and that the rabbit was actually supposed to curl around and cover the clitoris, not simply touch it with the point on top (as I had thought) that I even looked at it!  And once I did… WOW!

Wevibe-Nova
Wevibe-Nova

We-Vibe Nova  is probably one of the most unique rabbit toys available.  All toys have different benefits, and this toy is no different, however the unique features are ones that I think most women would LOVE, so I’ve got to tell you about it!  While it looks like it’s a substantial toy, it really isn’t!  It has a larger than usual rabbit portion that curls within itself to allow for fuller coverage of the clitoris, which is nice, and it has a more petite g-spot portion, that doesn’t create too much fullness.  (Note: if you are looking for fullness, you should look toward the LELO Ina 2)  The cool thing is that it pinpoints the g-spot, and has great clitoral stimulation, whether you like low vibes, or high!

What makes the We-Vibe Nova MOST unique is that it has the ability to isolate the sensation, meaning you can have it vibrate both the g-spot and clitoris at the same time, or  you press the center button for each sensation, and you can toggle through g-spot, clitoral and combination vibrations!  I have to say that’s REALLY cool!  Not only that, you are able to connect the Nova to the We-Connect app, and you can manage the vibrator from your phone, design vibrations for yourself, or invite your partner to play manage the vibe from anywhere in the WORLD!  It also has the perfect combination of waterproof, rechargeable and quiet!  Overall, I give this rabbit two thumbs up!  WAY up!

New Jimmyjane Intro 1 & Intro 2

When I first saw that Jimmyjane was launching the Intro series, I was extremely skeptical about the whole thing.  Here was one of my #1 companies which sold high-end, extremely effective and versatile vibrators, at a range of $125 – $495+, launching a series where none of the vibrators is priced over $59!  That was crazy!… and who knows, it still may be.  However, I was introduced to the Intro series, 1 & 2, and I must admit, that I was fairly impressed. (It’s cute to note that my 19 year old sales associate was not quite as happy with it…but that’s another story!)

So with the new Intro 1, Jimmyjane has created a very versatile finger vibe!  In my 7 years in the industry, I have not been able to find such an effective vibe in this size, and power… at this price point!  Truth be told, I feel like everyone needs one of these, and perhaps thats the point that Jimmyjane is trying to make!  They have always been “For the People” but not everyone could afford the $145 price point of the standard vibe.  At $30, I don’t feel like we will have many people balking at that price!  It is waterproof, has 3 power levels and 3 sensations, and is battery operated, though watch batteries… which does make it more petite!

Jimmyjane Intro 1, Blue
Jimmyjane Intro 1

The Intro 2 is a super-sized version of the Form 2.  Perhaps the size was needed for the 2 AAA batteries needed to power it, but it is a bit more cumbersome and less powerful then its Form 2 sister.  Power girls will still need to invest in the Jimmyjane Form 2, however, for many who are simply trying their first vibe, or want something with the dual external stimulation like the “tooth” style model the Intro 2 offers, this is an incredible option at $40.  I love that the batteries are easy to obtain, that it’s waterproof and quiet, and has 3 sensations and 3 power levels on each sensation!  This is truly a vibe customers should seriously look at.  While it only offers a one-year warranty, it’s worth the $40 to give this baby a run for the money!

Womanizer Pro Vs. Womanizer W100

When I first was introduced to the Womanizer, I thought, REALLY?!?!?  That little suction device can give a woman an orgasm?  Well, we all know from my previous blog, it can, and does!  It has even qualified to be among the few toys I recommend for “An Orgasm A Day” due to its ease of use, and quick results!

So the question is, now that the Womanizer Pro has arrived on the scene (officially the Womanizer W500) how do I choose?

W1000-H1000-p11712c

Womanizer Deluxe W500 Womanizer Pro Deluxe

First of all, let’s look at the Womanizer Pro, and see what it’s benefits are.

  1. It’s smaller that the Womanizer W100
  2. It has a lower suction setting, and higher suction settings than the W100, 8 power levels total
  3. It has two different, interchangeable heads, to accommodate different size clitoris.
  4. The power levels are on the backside of the product, vs. the frontside.
  5. The manufacture touts the product to be silent, however I have not found that to be the case.

Womanizer W100 Womanizer Pro W100

Things to consider:

  • Clearly it’s smaller than the Womanizer W100, which can be a plus and a minus.  It fits into the hand nicely, however it doesn’t have the “reach” that one might think they might need to reach the clitoris.  When considering the choice between the two, one needs to consider their body type, and if the additional reach will be an important factor in the decision making.  Also, having the control on the front of the W100, could be more convenient for those needing the reach, because you are able to use your thumb easily, and not have to reach toward the back of the toy with your middle and ring fingers to adjust the power levels.
  • While the suction power is important, as a self proclaimed power-girl, I did not find the W100 lacking in suction to achieve an orgasm.  I do, however, find the ability to have the higher powered suction a nice perk!  and as I said to a customer last night, why not take advantage of the “improvements”… a little more power couldn’t hurt.  If the shorter style and placement of the power buttons work for you, why not engage in a little more power.
  • If you have a larger clitoris than “standard”, I would recommend the Womanizer Pro.  The ability to choose the size of the suction head is a plus.  It is also an interesting option for women with smaller clitoris, as if you are having trouble locating the most desirable spot, a larger head can offer broader options for placement.
  • Price sometimes can be a deciding factor, and it should be noted that the W100 is priced at $189 currently and the Womanizer Pro is $219.  That $30 may be a make it or break it.

Overall, I say, honestly, I don’t feel you’ll go wrong with either, unless there’s a sizing issue.  The Womanizer is a wonderful and effective “orgasm-creator”, and the feedback we’ve gotten from customers who’ve tried it say they love it.  For the most part, it’s quiet, and assists in giving a woman an orgasm in under a minute, or 1-3 minutes at most.  It’s really hard to argue with a beautifully designed, effective toy like that!

We-Vibe Classic Vibrator

We-Vibe Classic: The best couple’s vibrator just got better!

The #1 selling couple’s sex toy just got better and it’s here and available!  If you’re one of those careful shoppers who’ve been sitting on the sidelines, waiting to decide whether this is the right toy for you and your partner, the waiting is over.  The time is now.

So what’s the big deal?  Sex toys are sex toys, right?  Well, not really!

The We-Vibe vibrator created a sensation when it was introduced in 2008.  As of the only products available on the market at the time that was hands free, and fit between the bodies, and was a “shared” sensation, it did more for couples play than any other product out there.  Over the years, We-Vibe has evolved and added remote controls, which took “play” outside the bedroom.  Clearly, even outside the bedroom, it was as fun for “partner-play” as inside, as one partner inevitably enjoys “buzzing” the other in the middle of a dinner party for example!

With the evolution of the We-Vibe came the We-Vibe 4, which offered a tighter fit.  However in doing so, it’s more rigid style inhibited the “outside the bedroom” play, due to comfort.  The addition of the Bluetooth feature with the We-Vibe 4 Plus, was enticing.  But for those who wanted to experiment with “out to dinner” play, or “Jacuzzi play”, it was uncomfortable to walk with.  So we were pleased when we went to market in July to find out that We-Vibe was in fact not doing away with the We-Vibe 3, but re-engineering it as the We-Vibe Classic!  This new toy is now coated in a soft, suede-like finish.  And it not only has a remote control, but is Bluetooth enabled!  That’s right, Bluetooth enabled!

We-Vibe Classic Bluetooth Enabled Remote Controlled Couples Vibrator
We-Vibe Classic Bluetooth Enabled Remote Controlled Couples Vibrator

What does that mean for you?  That means that you can not only use the We-Vibe Classic for lovemaking, and for bedroom play with your partner, you can also use it when your partner travels away for work!  How?  With the We-Connect App, you are able to do things with a We-Vibe that you were never able to do before!  Separating out the internal and external stimulation at different power level?  We got that!  Ten sensations aren’t enough for you? Create your own vibe!  Partner in Australia?  Invite them to manage your vibe!  Yup, we got that! From ANYWHERE in the world that has internet!  Really!

Like it’s We-Vibe predecessors, the We-Vibe 3 Classic is waterproof, rechargeable and quiet.  And it still comes in it’s discrete charging case.  But it truly has come a long way since its launch in 2008 and now it is the right playful toy for most couples!  And I believe the price is right!  At $149 at launch time, with the remote and Bluetooth, the We-Vibe 3 Classic is one of the best priced, quality couple’s sex toys available today.

Je Joue Nuo – Remote Controlled Anal Plug!

It’s interesting, I wasn’t quite sure about this when I first saw it… a remote controlled anal plug?  Now don’t get me wrong, everything Je Joue does is amazing, so the feel of the silicone was divine, and the remote control was just plain genius… a pen like remote device!  But a remote controlled Anal Plug?  Then I met the Nuo, and was completely won over!

Je Joue Nuo Plug Black A02776-JeJou-Nuo-2-1200x1200

Je Joue’s Nuo is a soft silicone, flexible at the base for comfort, yet the tip of the toy is firm.  It is easy to use, and has some of the most interesting sensations of any toy we’ve seen thus far!  Makes me very intrigued to meet the Je Joue Dua!  It feels as though there are three motors in this little guy, and with the remote, you’re able to toggle through each sensation, and amplify or decrease the sensation, as desired.  It’s wonderful that the pen vibrates as well, allowing a partner to adjust the sensation and know what the person wearing the Nuo is feeling!

Je Joue states that the “Nuo can be controlled with a discreet pen shaped remote or with the Je Joue app for sensual long-distance play. Intensifying foreplay, enhancing pleasure during sex, or starting seduction outside the intimacy of your room, Nuo provides heightened anal sensations.”

So, yup, there’s an app for that!

Waterproof, rechargeable, quiet… remote controlled and bluetooth enabled!  Doesn’t get much better than that!

Meet the New Lelo Ina Wave

Sexual Technology at its best! Lelo Ina Wave OMG!!

Lelo Ina Wave raises the bar for sex toys again!  What amazing strides we have made in sexual technology in the past few years.  We have gone from seeing a vibe that could sync with your music, the Ohmibod Club Vibe and Freestyle, to wireless remote controlled toys like the We-Vibe 3 and We-Vibe 4…. to Bluetooth enabled toys like the Bluemotion Nex/1 and We-Vibe.  We have also seen the introduction of thrusting toys, like the Fun Factory Drei .  One of our favorites was the Sasi, by Je Joue, which imitated oral sex!  Who new a toy could do that?!  However, I don’t think anything to date has matched the new “Wave” technology of the Lelo Ina Wave for simulating sexual interaction and G-Spot Play!

So here’s the thing, the Lelo Ina 2 has always been a favorite of mine, and of the “Power Girls” who visit the shop.  What’s a “Power Girl”? She’s a woman who enjoys strong vibration power and sensation in a toy to achieve an orgasm.  There are not many sex toys that qualify as quality “power tools”, and that will be another post altogether, however the Lelo Ina 2 is one of those toys that clamps onto the clitoris, and doesn’t let go. It’s not for the faint of heart. I like to say that it’s assertive.  When using the Ina, there is constant attention and vibration on the clitoris, which can go from lower vibration to quite strong.  The Lelo Ina 2 is also waterproof, rechargeable and quite.

So why do I tell you all this about the Ina 2?  Well the Lelo Ina Wave is all that the Lelo Ina 2 is, and MORE!  I like to say that you get two sex toys in one, for just $40 more!  With this incarnation, they have opened the “rabbit”  opening slightly, allowing for less of a “clamp” sensation on the clitoris. This allows for a wider audience of interest, as the constant, strong attention wasn’t for everyone… Now don’t get me wrong, there is still assertive attention on the clitoris, but slightly more gentle.

And then there’s the WAVE!  This is where I say you get two toys in one with the Lelo Ina Wave!  Not only do you get an amazing Lelo Ina 2, that fully functions just as the Ina always has, but you get the WAVE!

The WAVE is the “come hither” movement that we have always been taught to achieve a G-Spot orgasm.  It gently rocks back and forth, while the “rabbit” arm is vibrating at the chosen speed and sensation.  The amazing thing about it is that while it has all the great sensations of the Ina 2, it also has a non-vibration mode, which I found interesting.  There are definitely G-Spot educators who advocate against vibrating the G-Spot for female ejaculation and G-Spot Play, however, I’m not one of them!

As anyone familiar with toys knows, a great toy becomes a part of the “family”.  They become trusted friends, and are there for you when you need them!  The Lelo Ina Wave might just become your best friend!  It’s a great toy to use solo, and it’s a great toy to use with a partner.  And who doesn’t love the new colors!  Lelo Ina Wave at Trystology.

Lelo Pino Vibrating Men’s Ring

Lelo Pino Review

With the introduction of the Lelo Pino men’s vibrating ring, we see a whole new take on the shape, style and usage of a ring during lovemaking.  Lelo Pino is touted as “designed exclusively for bankers.”  An interesting niche to target.  That must be why the Lelo Pino comes with a money clip and cuff links.  Most everyday guys don’t usually wear cuff links!

Lelo Pino

Lelo Pino Vibrating Mens Ring Package

So here’s the thing.  If you’re able to look beyond the narrow target they are shooting for, because, let’s face it, everyone, whether you’re a teacher, artist, banker or business owner… wants great sex, I think Lelo may have come up with a very intriguing product!  Up close and personal, it’s a bit intimidating.  It is quite a bit larger than its predecessor, the Lelo Tor 2, or the Lelo Oden 2.  And the shape is like none we’ve ever seen…

Lelo Pino Cock Ring

Lelo Pino Mens Vibrating Ring in Black

Do you see what I mean?  With the pointed tip,  the curved space for cupping, and then the nodule at the base, before the ring, it has a bit of an intimidating presence.  But fear not, the Lelo Pino is truly designed with the experience in mind.  It is made out of platinum grade silicone, which is velvety soft.  Both the lower and upper “points” are in fact hollow and collapsible, designed for gentle stimulation, and are conductors, transmitting the vibration wherever it might be desired.  The ring itself is firm, while being soft and flexible enough to stretch for additional girth.

Besides being waterproof, rechargeable and quiet, as most Lelo toys are, one of the key features is the 10 vibration patterns, which are easily changed with the plus button on the side (seen above).  One feature I really like is that if the + button and the – button are pressed simultaneously, the Pino shuts off instantaneously!  That is so perfect, as very few toys have a quick off switch… and here’s the thing… we all need the vibration to stop quickly at times!

Here are a couple of suggestions on how the Lelo Pino can be used.  I always like to say that “There are no rules for how to use sex toys.”  These are just ideas.  You can get creative!

Doxy Vibrator Review | Joan Price

Joan Price is a trusted resource for all of us here at Trystology.  So we sent her the new Doxy Vibrator to see what she thinks.  Here’s what she had to say…

By Joan Price-

When Roylin Downs, owner of Trystology, told me that I had to try the Doxy Wand, I believed her. She knows my preference for intense vibrators, even if that means that they’re heavy and need to be plugged in.

Oh my. I wouldn’t have imagined that a vibrator this strong existed. I don’t even need to take it to the highest power setting to send me spinning into space. Even the low settings are strong and they’re rumbly rather than buzzy. If you cycle from the lowest to the highest setting, it sounds like a plane taking off.

doxy vibrator

Doxy vs length of my arm.
Be aware that when you first turn it on, it doesn’t start at the lowest setting, but at higher than mid-point. From there, use the “+” or “-” to turn it up or down. There’s also a pulse setting activated by holding down the power button for two seconds, then releasing, but I have to admit that I didn’t bother with that.

What can I say? It works hard, and it works quickly, even for this almost 71-year-old, slow-burning woman.

I generally prefer vibrators that are easy on arthritic wrists — this one is not. It’s heavy, it’s huge, and I would be in pain from trying to hold it for any length of time. However, that’s irrelevant, because it works so fast that my wrist barely notices. Yes, it’s that good.

Doxy Vibrator Doxy Vibrator

“But how does it compare to the Magic Wand?” you’re asking. It’s bigger. (“Bigger?! No way!” Yes, bigger.) And heavier. The cord is longer. All those sound bad, but it’s not bad because all that size is necessary for the power it delivers.

As far as intensity goes, the Doxy feels stronger, but it may just seem that way because the head is larger and covers more territory.

I also like Doxy’s head more than the Magic Wand’s because Doxy is more cushy. Strong and soft are a great combination.

Doxy Vibrator

The head is made of medical grade PVC, according to the tiny, mini-font instruction booklet. I didn’t know that PVC plastic can be medical-grade, but I looked it up, and it’s phthalate-free and used for things like oxygen bags, drainage bags, and medical tubing. I know that doesn’t sound very sexy except to my fellow sex geeks who get excited at learning about sex toys made of body-safe materials.

You can use water-based or silicone-based lubricants with Doxy, but not oil-based lubes.

No pouch included, which is shameful. An expensive sex toy should always come with its own pouch, especially since you’re not likely to have anything around large enough to store it in. Maybe a knee-high sock, if you happen to have a spare. Doxy comes in a cardboard box that’s even more enormous than it requires — not the best storage solution unless you have a large, empty drawer.

The mini-instruction booklet has all the requisite warnings — don’t use under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or on inflamed skin, or if pregnant, or in water, etc. The warning that makes no sense to me is this: “Do not use… if you are under the age of 16.” Why the heck not? I wish I had owned this vibrator when I was 15!

Thank you, Roylin and Trystology, for sending me the Doxy Wand, highly recommended for all of us who need extra power in our sex toys and have room in our drawer for a 15-inch-long vibrator!

Doxy is available at Trystology.com.
