Good Vibrations Magazine

If you saw the previous post on Reviewers, you’d know that our review program is off to a good start with lots of reviews written from folks across the country about our products.

Reviewers were encouraged to take their time, and to really get to know their toy. These products are not free swag, but toys and gifts that were hand-picked to sell at our stores and on our website, items that we value and that we hope future customers will find and love. Naturally, everybody is different and some need more time than others. We sent products out over the course of a few weeks and we’ll be seeing reviews pop up until New Years!

Here continues more reviews that have popped up in the time following the last post.

Beautiful Dreamer submitted a fantastic complete review of the POPULAR Mia Vibe from LELO. She broke it down on camera providing a solid description of the product that would make our SESAs (Sex Educator Sales Associates) proud. She goes off camera to give more a more personal account of the toy, saying: “I quickly dug her out, and slipped my skirt up. Pressing the pointed end directly on my clit, I slowly turned the speed up, I chose the fast pulsation and swirled her in circles around my now throbbing clit.” Here’s her video:

The Mia is quite the popular one, and not camera shy one bit! She came out of the packaging in flying colors with a sylish video post by Agent Ansley. Video toy reviews have been quite the hot ticket and Ansley’s are no acception with rockin’ soundtracks and concise bullet-point facts posted under the vibe. Thank you Ansley!

Betty from Our Rockstar Life fell in love with the Leopard Restraints; what a perfect pair. She was impressed with our customer service — “First off, kudos to GV for the quick shipping. I was very impressed with the promptness of the order’s arrival.” — as well as the comfort and aesthetic beauty of the cuffs.”These cuffs are pretty hardcore, and I was very impressed with the quality.” She gave them a top rating of “Five on the Rocket Scale”. Thanks Betty!

Another popular vibe is the Rock Chick. Ladies LOVE the Rock Chick and many reviewers wanted to give the uniquely shaped vibrator a try.

Jusine Juicy will be posting her review soon and in the meantime we can offer this edited excerpt here on the GV Magazine:

“Recently, I received the infamous Rock Chick to test out thanks to the folks over at Good Vibrations (http://www.goodvibes.com). I have been waiting for what seems like forever to test this one out… It’s silicone and I love silicone. Silicone a hygienic material if cleaned properly (boiling water, dishwasher – top shelf no soap, 10% bleach solution, etc), in this case the bullet must be removed before submerging in water or putting it in the dishwasher. It’s waterproof, but I would still recommend removing the bullet. The good thing is that the bullet is removable! That means when (yes, when) the motor in the bullet dies, you can replace the cheap bullet as opposed to replacing the entire $66 toy. That also means if you just want some clitoral stimulation or need a bullet from another toy you can pull it out and use it… I was 0 to “O” in less than 2 minutes, the first time. My expectations were met and the Rock Chick has earned it’s home in my favorite toy case next to my bed.”

Panthera Pardus writes on the Rambling Newbie about the Rock Chick, offering some great photos that show the bullet outside the vibe, here they are as thumbnails — see the larger versions on her site as well as an enthusiastic 2 thumbs up and some great visual parodies of this unique vibe!

Carnal Embrace (who we’re pleased goes to UC Berkeley, very close to our Good Vibrations Berkeley Store!) reviewed the Cyberskin Realistic Dildo in Vanilla and found out quickly one of the best parts of this dildo was… balls! “The Cyberskin won’t fool you, but it did feel a lot nicer than even a quality silicone dildo. And then the balls…oh the balls! They feel soft and squishy, and if you take the toy all the way in and then fuck yourself senseless, the balls feel so comforting and real (if balls were, of course, naturally hairless and smooth). They don’t sway, per se, but their density and texture help stimulate the clit, butt, and thighs.” Many customers have agreed, when you want realistic the Cyberskin is a great choice for testicles! Thanks!

And last, but not least — in this round anyway, is Thursday’s Child, who wrote about Silk 1 on her new blog at SexNShoes.com. A beautiful balance of personal and practical information about the smallest size of the Silks that we carry. Thank you Thursday’s Child! Here’s what she had to say:

“Rather than try the Silk 1 with the harness straight off, I opted to try penetrating D with just the dildo manipulating it by hand. After lubing him up (with a nice thick water-based lube – the Silk 1 is silicone, so silicone lube is a no no), I slid the dildo in place with ease. The effect was immediate and electric, and D was dripping precum from his hardening cock, begging for me to try it with the harness..

Fucking him in the ass with the dildo in the harness was just as difficult as I anticipated. With no feeling in the dildo, it was hard to tell when it was seated properly or when the short length popped out. But, when we finally found a good position that kept the dildo in place(him seated on top of me, sitting on my cock), watching him grind atop me to a shuddering climax was one of the hottest things I’ve ever seen. Cleanup was nice and easy – this is why I love silicone toys. A little antibacterial soap and hot water, and it was ready to go again. It can also be sterilized through boiling, so we could share it, if we were so inclined.”
