Good Vibrations Magazine

Hello out there! We hope that you’re all enjoying May! We’ve been so impressed lately with all the questions about gift ideas for grads and all those summer brides. You can just feel summer in the air when these special occasions start popping up. We love to give gifts, so our little treat to you for this column is about all the latest and greatest items we’ve just gotten in! Molly and I are so excited about all the new toys.

If you’re shopping for gifts and can’t quite figure out what the perfect item would be that’s OK! Buying intimate gifts can be a little challenging but we have several wonderful kits to choose from and there’s always a GV Gift Certificate. We always have good luck when we leave a catalog at a friend’s house, and sure enough, right before their birthday they’ve let us know what feel-good gift they’ve been eyeing. You can always request an extra catalog be put in with your next order! As always, give us a call and we’ll walk you through it. Over here in the Call Center we’re just full of fun suggestions and ideas for gifts.

You guys and gals have gone crazy for the brand new Laya! We can’t say we’re surprised at all. This toy is amazing! It’s perfectly designed for external stimulation and this compact delight will fit perfectly in the palm or your hand (or your dear partner’s). Just what makes this curve so wonderful? Women (and men too, of course) are brilliantly capable of multiple orgasms and many women experience several in a session with the use of a vibrating toy. The clitoris isn’t just contained in the nubbin of super-sensitive nerve endings that can be seen externally. It’s an amazingly intricate system that continues internally as well and forms a wishbone shape. The “legs” of the clitoris actually extend down around the area of the hood and go back beneath the labia on either side of the vaginal opening. The Laya’s design is perfect for stimulating clitoral legs externally and customers are reporting a new experience of orgasming with vibration applied to the labia. Isn’t this exciting? This is just one of the fun new toy designs we are madly in love with! (And our customers are too! We’ve had the Laya out for just two months and it’s already a best-seller!)

Bullet Vibes are another popular toy and they’re so versatile when you add a sleeve. The On Porpoise and Wild Hare sleeves just came in and what makes them so special is that they are made from super-soft silicone! Silicone products are nonporous and can be washed with mild soap and water, in the top rack of a dishwasher or you can boil them in hot water for a few minutes. Most sleeves out there are made of jelly rubber and they don’t last as long as silicone. You can slip these yummy sleeves on a Silver Bullet, Jungle Bullet, Top Ten Bullet or the Magic Touch Bullet.

So now that we’ve mentioned our favorites… (seriously, we can’t stop talking about them!)… now on to your questions!

Q: Thanks for your column — I like it a lot. I was wondering if you had any ideas on how I should store my new toys? I just got them in the mail but keeping them in the plain brown box they were shipped in doesn’t seem so sexy. Thanks!
– Yuki

A: Ooh! We should hold a contest for the most clever storage idea for toys! We don’t all have the luxury of having a huge velvet lined chest at the foot of the bed or ample drawer space in the nightstand so we have to get a little creative. Our lucky toy buyer has collected customer and staff suggestions and found just the thing to store your toys. The Devine Toy Box is perfect for keeping your toys discreetly tucked away. This inconspicuous box comes with a lock and key so nothing is going to pop out if accidentally knocked off the nightstand or when your babysitter or roommate takes a sneaky little tour of your room. It has a sexy black and red crocodile faux leather finish and a black satin interior, so it won’t look out of place just hanging out on the bookcase next to that photo of you and your sweetie on vacation.

We also recommend cleaning your toys off before storing and if you have waterproof toys to wipe them dry or air-dry them before putting them aside for the day. Storing your battery vibes without the batteries in can also help prolong their life. Keeping a little stash of batteries handy in your toy box is a great way to be prepared, just in case the evening goes a little longer than expected. Lucky you!

Q: Hi CeeCee, Thanks for talking to me on the phone the other day. It was really cool that you spent all that time with me. I’ve never gotten a toy before and after talking to you I decided to go with the My Craby and the Hitachi. I can’t wait for them to come! Well you know what I mean! So we talked about porn movies but I’m still on the fence. I like your suggestion of trying stuff from the 70’s. But what should I get? You rock!
– J

A: Great choices! You can’t go wrong with the Hitachi Magic Wand. Customer favorite, staff favorite and best-seller since we’ve been in business! My Craby is the cutest! We just got this toy in and it has a great design that lets you gently fit the toy on the labia for hands free use. This is great to use with toys or your parner. It doesn’t get in the way of penetration and has ten variable speed settings! Plus, the super soft covering houses a pretty strong bullet vibe and the hand held control lets you change up the sensation — who doesn’t love the pulse setting?

Molly thought she was the only one on earth who missed out on seeing one of the most famous porn movies of all time, Deep Throat. But that’s just because it hasn’t been available widely for some time. Now the infamous Deep Throat is back, and it’s on DVD! This classic movie from the 70’s features Linda Lovelace as a woman who has an unusual condition… she has a clitoris in her throat! I’m sure you can fill in the plot on this one. Movies from the 70’s often feature real bodies and real chemistry between partners. In Suze Randall’s Centerfolds 1 & 2, the actresses are delightfully natural and pretty and the scenes feature lush sets and wonderful lighting. There’s a joyfulness to them that is sometimes missing in current porn. Behind the Green Door is another sure bet. Featuring the famous Marilyn Chambers, it has an amazing eye for fantasy and the best trapeze scene ever. So grab your crab and your popcorn and have a fabulous night of viewing!

Q: What do I get my friend who is graduating college? She’s really special to me and I want something kind of sweet and fun. Thank you.

A: Congrats to your grad! We just love getting gifts for people. You can always go the literary route and get some fun books! Once you’re done with school you can finally read all those novels you haven’t had time for. Our sweetest book right now (I completely adore it!) is 2gether 4ever. It looks like a notebook and is full of junior high love letters. Do you remember the whole if-you-like-me-check-yes notes? This is a great gift to give your sweetie. If you’re looking for something a little naughtier, pick up Best American Erotica 2005, edited by staff favorite Susie Bright, for an edgy and sexy read. Maybe tease your friend a little and read them to her over the phone while she’s away for the summer?

If you aren’t sure what exactly she’d love to pieces, get her a GV Gift Certificate that she can use online or at one of our three retail locations. We love to see couples spending their gift certificates at the stores and over the phone. They always having such a good time!

Thanks again for all your questions! We just love helping you find the perfect thing that will knock you and your partner’s socks off! If you have a favorite toy that you just love to pieces and can’t get enough of email us and let us know! We’d love to hear from you! You can email us at advice@goodvibes.com. Enjoy the sunshine!

Love,
CeeCee & Molly
