Twist of Lime?

This is the Lime Double Bullet Vibe.

At first glance Lime looks like many of the other bullet vibes on the market today. The major difference being that this vibe is actually two bullet vibes. Double the pleasure? Hell, yes! The Lime Double Bullet Vibe offers up a diverse number of ways in which it can be used. You can hold one bullet in each hand and take turns placing them on different body parts. One for each nipple perhaps? Or you can use one on you and the other on your partner. But I think one of the best ways to use it is with one bullet on your favorite body part and one bullet in the base of your favorite Tantus toy.

For instance, I love Echo because it is the perfect G-spotting toy. But pair Echo with a good bullet vibe like the Lime and you have a whole new experience. Then add a second vibrating bullet for my clit and I just might be in heaven! There are so many different vibrating combinations you can put together that finding the right one for you will be half of the fun!


Now, that you understand the benefits of a vibe like the Lime Double Bullet Vibe let's talk about the specifics of this toy. Lime is made out of hard plastic that is made to feel velvety soft. Don't ask me how they do it because I don't know. The first time I felt this toy I asked if it was coated in silicone because the plastic feels so nice. When they designed this toy they were very smart in the way they set up the controls, a fact that should never go unnoticed. You slip your finger through the ring and click to sort through the 7 speed and pulsation functions. The most useful part is that silver circle on the face of Lime. It is the one push stop button. Just press there and the whole toy stops. Perfect for those seconds right after you reach orgasm and just can't take a second more.

The Lime Double Bullet Vibe is a corded vibe so you have to use extra care when cleaning this toy. In this case I recommend the Afterglow Wipes to avoid getting any water into the mechanical parts. Also, make sure you never pull the vibes out by their cords or you will risk breaking this toy.

I'm a fan of slipping vibes like this in condoms first if I am going to insert it that way I can remove it by pulling on the condom.

No matter how you slice it this Lime is a great little toy. It packs a nice punch and has lots of flexibility in the way it can be used. If you are looking for a little variety then look no further. The Lime Double Bullet Vibe is a great addition to any toy box.

Materials: Hard Plastic
Vibration: 7 functions of speed and pulsation
Cleaning: Afterglow Wipes, Use caution when cleaning around mechanical parts
Accessories: Pair with a Tantus toy that has a hole for a bullet in the bottom.

For ladies who like it small. Size Doesn't always matter!

I have dated a number of women over the years and one thing I have found is that not every woman likes the same sized toy. My vagina is a "deep black hole that can never be filled" according to my co-host Derek. So I like a nice toy that is long and girthy. However, there are plenty of ladies that would run from my favorite dildo and say, "NO WAY!" Luckily, there are a few great companies out there that realize that sometimes our eyes are bigger then our pussies and sizing down isn't always a bad thing.
I have slowly been buying all of the toys that we carry in the Dildo Whisperer online store. I've been doing this for a couple of reasons. First, I think it is important to be able to hold a toy in my hot little hands if I am accurately going to be able to describe it. Second, I think that when people shop online it is hard to get a real feel for the size of things and I want to be able to assist them better. Third, I am going to start hosting Dildo Whisperer listener events where I help listeners sort through various toys to find the right one for them. It helps when you have the actual toys on hand for them to see. So the other day a toy arrived that I had never actually handled. Being very familiar with the Tantus line of toys I knew that I could expect a high quality silicone dildo with a nice flared base but I was slightly surprised when I saw this toy. I guess I should have paid more attention to its name.
The most noticeable difference about this toy was the size of it. Compact is just that, compact. It has all of the features you want from a great toy but in a much smaller package. As you can see it features a nice G-Spotting curve along with a rippled shaft for added pleasure. The flared base will make it compatible with harness play but make sure you have a small "O" ring to hold it in place. Compact is also a really wonderful starter anal toy for those that are fearful of pain caused by a larger toy. Generally, people think you can't find a toy like this in a small slender size but Compact delivers on all fronts. So I know you are asking just how big is it, right? Let's start with the girth. It is 1" in diameter that's about the size of your thumb. It is 5.25" in length. The nice thing about having a toy that isn't overly long is that you can really getting to pounding hard while wearing a harness without the pain caused by a toy hitting the cervix or back wall of the vagina. For some women this will be a major plus. I think Compact is a must have toy if you have a woman in your life that has a slender vaginal opening that just isn't into most of the toys out there. I have to admit I was relieved to see Compact because finally I have the answer for all those ladies out there like my lovely wife that just don't want some big ass toy in their va jay jay.

Valentine's Day-Gifts for your guy- Part II


Valentine’s day gifts are tricky. I like to get a gift that will expand the relationship in new ways. For many people that can mean trying something new or trying something in a new way. The most commonly asked questions I get often feature the ass. There are many more people that are interested in anal sex then there aren’t or at least that has been my experience. For that reason I came up with my second selection for gifts you should get your guy to try!

2. Butt Plugs!

When considering trying a butt plug there are a few things you should know. The first is that you ALWAYS need to use lube. Your ass doesn’t self lubricate like a vagina so lube is required. The skin around your anus is very thin and sensitive and the last thing you want is friction that will cause that skin to tear. The second thing you should know is about your ass itself. The rectum doesn’t have a back wall, which means that if a toy goes all the way in it can be very hard to remove without an emergency visit to the doctor. For this reason you should never stick anything in your ass that isn't designed to be there. Every year ER’s around the country get visits from patients who think that putting a sharpie or other odd shaped objects in their ass is a good idea. It is not. Toys that are designed to go in the ass should have either a flared based that prevents the toy from going in further then intended or it should have a loop handle that can be used to remove the toy easily. This risk shouldn’t prevent you from having fun with your ass it should simply encourage you to use toys that are safe for it. Last but not least never take a toy out of your ass and put it in a vagina. The rectum is filled with bacteria that helps aide in digestion but that bacteria can lead to some very unpleasant problems if introduced to the vagina. Now, that you know the basics let’s talk butt plugs.


Little Flirt is exactly as the name suggests, little. Which makes it the perfect first time anal toy. This silicone plug is about the size of a finger. It isn’t designed to “fill you up” like other plugs. Instead, it is designed to teach your sphincter muscle how to relax when a toy is introduced to it. It helps the anus get used to the feeling and sensation of a toy in it without the stress of jamming something large in there. Make sure you use plenty of lube and slide this toy in. Due to its size it might slide back out but if it does just re-insert it and focus on your muscles holding it in place. Once your body has gotten used to the sensation of ass play you can move up to larger toys. If you have been thinking of trying anal action but are unsure about the pain. Try Little Flirt out and see how much fun flirting with your ass can be.

Material: Silicone
Lube: Water Based Recommended
Cleaning: Soap and Water, Boilable, Bleachable, and Dishwasher Safe

Ryder is a more advanced butt plug. This silicone plug is larger in size and features a very narrow neck. Tantus Inc. who makes this toy literally designed every aspect of it to make sure it is comfortable and stays in place. The top of this plug is rounded and smooth so it slides in with little work. The narrow neck near the base ensures that the sphincter closes up tightly around it. Plus, the rectangle base is shaped so it will fit comfortably between your ass checks but has enough of a flare to keep it from going in to far. Your cheeks will also help keep this toy from going anywhere. Due to the shape and size of Ryder it will give you that “filled up” sensation that many people look for from anal toys. Take Ryder out for a ride and I doubt you will be disappointed.

Pace is a member of the Tantus Alumina line. You might remember my previous blog about Flow also from this line of toys. Pace like the other toys in the Alumina line is made out of a sleek anodized aluminum that is smooth to the touch. This smooth surface will make for an easy entry with Pace. You can use the lager end of the toy to give you the “full” sensation or to deliver a nice P-Spot massage. Or you can use the other end of this toy for a completely different sensation. Due to the fact that Pace is made out of aluminum it has some pretty interesting benefits. For instance, Pace has the ability to cool down or warm up very quickly. A little dip in cool or warm water will help you create some really exciting sensation play.  Aluminum is also kind of heavy. People who enjoy the sensation of a butt plug will also often enjoy the weightiness of a metal toy. But, perhaps the coolest feature from the Tantus Alumina line is that they are all made of two independent parts. See that little black O ring just under the head of Pace? That is where the toy screws apart. You can then take the two pieces and pair them up with another piece from the Alumina line. You can literally create all new toys! The more Alumina toys you have the more choices you have. They are all completely interchangeable.

Material: Black Anodized Aluminum
Size: Length 5” Diameter 1.25”
Lube: Water or Silicone Based Recommended

Get into the "Flow" of things.

I missed the day that Metis Black from Tantus Inc. came by our Sirius/ XM studios to show off her new line of "Alumina" toys. I had only heard rumors about these sexy works of art and I had been looking forward to holding them in my hot little hands. Then I got sick! I was fucking bummed. That is until I came into the work the following day. Metis being the amazing person she is had left the entire line behind for me to try out for myself. I was over the moon with excitement! I took them right home with me that night and tried them out. One word for ya: AMAZING!

For this blog entry I am just going to focus on my personal favorite from the Alumina line but don't worry I promise I will cover the others in the coming weeks.

Flow

Flow, is such a simple name for such an incredible toy. Flow is made from 100% recyclable, high grade anodized aluminum. This makes Flow very durable not to mention waterproof and hypoallergenic.

I know you are thinking, "A metal toy is that really going to feel good?" The simple answer is yes. Metal toys have a lot of unique attributes that make then tons of fun to play with. For instance, the toys in the Alumina line feature very smooth surfaces and this makes the sliding in and out simply delightful. Unlike toys made of rubber and silicone you get a much smoother entry. The toys from the Alumina line also retain temperature really well. This means you can heat them up or cool them down for fun sensation play. I keep a couple of bowls near my bed with hot and cold water. After a simple dip and the temp of the toy quickly changes. This also means that these toys will heat up to your body temp very quickly and stay that way! I personally love the feel of the cool metal as I get started. Sensational!

One of the coolest features of the toys from this Tantus Alumina line is that they are all made of two independent parts. See that little black O ring in the middle of Flow.

That is where the toy screws apart. You can then take the two pieces and pair them up with another piece from the Alumina line. You can literally create all new toys! The more Alumina toys you have the more choices you have. They are all completely interchangeable. Where else are you going to find a toy that can do that?

Flow can be used in a variety of ways. Due to its ergonomic design it is perfect for a sensual genital massage but it also works for an assortment of fun activities. The design enables you to select either end of this toy to use so if you like your toy big or small you can have it all with Flow. I love the way this toy applies pressure to my G-spot.


The weight of the toy feels great but also works my PC muscles. If you are interested in strengthening your PC muscles insert the smaller end and flex. This exercise is the equivalent of lifting a small bar bell. See working out can be fun.



The smaller end also makes a great tool to help massage and relax the sphincter muscle for anal sex! Due to the flexibility of this toy it makes a wonderful addition to just about anyone's toy box.
You can clean this toy in just about every way. Soap and water works, it is boilable and you can even throw it in the dishwasher. The only annoying thing about this toy when cleaning is that little black O ring. You need to make sure you unscrew the toy a little during cleaning to make sure you get that little O ring and surrounding area clean.

Flow is truly a fantastic toy. I might have used it exclusively for a couple of months after I used it the first time. You can find Flow and all of the Alumina toys in my online toy store in the "Toys" section.
