Want a shiny new toy? All you’ve got to do is enter.
We have been a big fan of the We-Vibe since the beginning, put the fact that they made it Remote Controlled for version 3 would have been good enough for us. Well they did more then that, they added more powerful vibration, 40% more according to the specs. and made it a cordless re-charge. I love things that are re-chargeable, but cordless is the best. For those that have never had an item that is cordless and re-chargeable, you may be scratching your head going WTF … what it means is you set the item in a base that is plugged in and just by setting it in the base it will re-charge. For those that are now thinking about cordless phones and the little contacts, that is not it either … the best example I know of are rechargeable toothbrushes, but no matter it is the best!
I’m not sure how they arrived at 40% more power for the We-Vibe 3, whether that means a bigger weight giving strong vibration, or a faster motor give more vibrations, or some combination of the two, but more Power is always a good thing.
Of course all the features that you have come to love in the We-Vibe and We-Vibe 2 like being waterproof, 100% lead-free, phthalate-free medical grade silicone and Eco-friendly still pertains to the We-Vibe 3, and like the We-Vibe 2 the 3 is offered in Purple / Red / Teal.
I think the We-Vibe 3 will take being a ‘Couples Vibrator’ to a whole new place, literally. Just think now before leaving the house she can not only slip into something sexy, but something sexy can slip into her, and if you are lucky she will give you the remote. You can head out on the town building excitement and anticipation that can culminate in the same intense orgasm you have already grown to love with the previous versions, together!
Booty Beads, or as I like to call them, my Bendy-me-over-Silly beads. Bendie, for short. They bend. Which is unique to me for an anal toy.
They are a string of beads, satin smooth to the touch; that bend and vibrate. The vibration goes all the way to the end. How? By being tightly strung. Yes. The beads are pressed up right against one another, each touching the one next to it. Allowing the vibrations to flow from one bead to the next, to the next, to the next, etc. A small battery powered vibrator at one end, created a chain reaction of vibrations all along my ass.

Then you add the flexibility of the toy in its ability to bend to your body. There is a hard metal wire to the strand, that allows the bending. So even though you are seeking to push a strand of beads into your butt, it can be manipulated to rest comfortably along your natural curves. Talk about impressive. I was eager to try this one out of the half-dozen ones he picked out. So we got a little down and dirty.
The beads are not made of silicone, but a hard plastic actually. So use any lube that you like. But they are smoothed down to a satin finish that felt nice to the touch. I did run a finger all along the toy’s set of beads, just to make sure that there were no rough edges. After all, I don’t want to accidently cut anything.
I’ve only played with plugs up to this point. So this idea of having a ‘string’ of something to insert was novel, as well. They have 7” of actual parts to insert. With the handle adding another 3” to the overall length of 10”. The circumference is about 1/2” at most. So nothing that is going to make you cringe as it goes inside of you. I think that I could have even used these a year ago, when BigBear and I were first discovering the joys of anal play.
My boyfriend and I took turns running Bendie into my butt. A little lube and we were good to go. He got the joys of controlling the vibration levels. There is a simple ‘on / off’ button to push. We found that there are three speeds. I was happy with the 1st one, and the 2nd one blew me away. We didn’t even need to try the third. Even though he runs on those little button batteries, there is plenty of power.
Booty Beads Mega Pink
I found that I enjoyed Bendie on my hands and knees the best. He was great at just controlling the speed, while I got to control the depth. It’s a much longer toy than what I’ve ever played with before, so there was some learning curve to enjoying Bendie’s curves. Though, no matter how far I pushed back on Bendie, I could still feel him vibrating all along from where he entered my anus, to his vibrating tip.
The BootyBeads2, have some basic, hard plastic packaging. While I do like that, this sort of packaging allows me to see what I’m getting. I don’t like how very ‘industrial’ and ‘impersonal’ it makes the toy. After all, this toy is going to be touching some very personal, intimate parts of my body. I’d prefer a prettier package.
Now what the manufacturer’s did do right – instructions. Not as much as some of the higher ended toys. But oh soooo much better than most of them. Colorful. Detailed. Graphic. Clear. They get the gold star for this one.
Within this particular toy’s design you really do need to know how to get it clean. Otherwise you are only going to get to play with it once. It’s going up your butt, where there are things that could make you sick if you didn’t clean them off. So how do you get a string of beads, that bends, and are tightly put together so that there is nothing left behind, from your playing with it IN your behind? You pull it apart.
Yep. Pull it apart. They have designed the BootyBeads2 to be gently pulled apart, and then snapped back into place. Thus allowing there to be some small space between the beads for cleaning them. In theory you simply pull, and twist to lock into place. I did this. I found it to be such a neat trick, that I then showed it to my boyfriend. I was enjoying the way that I could do this, and examining how it operated, so much. That I pulled too hard the last time.
Booty Beads2 Purple
Yep. I have officially broken a toy, after just one use. But I think that it was a good thing in the long run, because I can warn you to be gentle. Be very gentle. Be as gentle as you would be with initiating sex with your butt.
Oh and one last little ‘oh how nice’ things to say about this toy’s manufacturer. They actually included those little bitty batteries. Three sets of them. One already installed. So it was open – lube – play.
Ok, with a name like Sexy Beads, you just gotta wonder if they make you feel sexy.
Sexy Beads Pink
So the boyfriend went shopping, and when on a mission to fully explore my bodacious butt, he really went shopping. He knew that I liked pink. He also knew that I had never tried anal beads before. So when he saw the “Sex Please” company’s “Sexy Beads”, he had to get them. Seeing them in pink, sealed the decision.
The packaging was just that hard molded plastic container. No instructions, except three line on the back about the ‘care’ of the beads. Wash them before. Wash them after. Use lube. Duh! There wasn’t anything written on the package that you couldn’t readily see for yourself. They were pink. They were a single piece design. They had a ring on the end. Not very impressive. Yet, I’ve learned not to judge a toy solely on its manufacturer’s ideas when it comes to wrapping it up.
Now it turns out that my darling boyfriend knows more about my butt than I do. I was aware that while pushing the beads into the anus, one by one, was going to make my toes curl. What I didn’t know was that Pulling them out – It would make them do curly-ques and swirls never seen before. But I get ahead of myself. You can’t enjoy that sensation till you’ve gotten to the end of the line.
I was a bit curious about the idea of a set of ‘beads’ giving me pleasure. I had already experienced the fun of a plug and even a probe. But beads? I saw how they were made. Balls, of graduating size, joined together along a strand. In this case all of the same material, PVC. Not quite silicone. But of a harder plastic. Imagine the hard plastic you’d find on modern day plumbing supplies. Yeah. Hard.
So the first thing I worried about was comfort ability. Hard plastic, UP inside a very delicate, very easily hurt space. I was happy to see, and more importantly feel, around the edges that they were not sharp. Nor were there any rough edges that might scrape my sensitive anal cavity. The beads weren’t the same soft, silky texture like you’d fine in silicone by any means though.
Sexy Beads Purple
Lube. You should always use lots of lubricant when playing with spaces not designed to have its own. We used a good silicone lube since this was a plastic toy. We also lubed up my hole. I think that he liked that part the best. He seemed to really take his time ‘prepping’. *grin*
Then he started by pushing the first two bead in my ass. They weren’t very large and moved very easily inside of me. It was very erotic to feel each one slip through my sphincter. Not so much the size getting bigger, but the fact that by pushing one in, it force the other ones deeper. The space between each bead is also made up of the same hard PVC. There is no ‘give’ to the space between them. By the sixth bead I was making my own lubrication in buckets. I like to think that when it was flowing down towards my ass, it was helping to lube up the next bead.
My sweetie really took his time with this. Teasing me by giving the strand a little twist or turn to get the next one in. Each time I’m thinking to myself, there’s just no way that he can put more of them in. There’s no place to go. But in they went. Making my body find pleasure spots I didn’t know existed in the bowel system.
When he got to the end. Only one more to go. I was already cumming and he was thoroughly enjoying my body’s reaction to his insertion of the beads up my ass. Who are we kidding? I was thoroughly enjoying my body’s reaction! It felt amazing. After getting the last one in, he really began showing me what the beads could do.
There’s a ring at the end of the strand of beads. Technically, there is no way that these things are going to get stuck up your butt with no way to get them out. I would be cautious though, the ring is the thinnest part of the toy. I’m thinking too much force applied, and the thing could snap off. However, he was gentle. He knew my concerns and so he didn’t exasperate them, by yanking on the ring. Instead he used the ring at the end of the strand to gently force them deeper. Or even turn them around clockwise.

Then he pulled.
Good lord almightly, holy freaking shit, and helloooooo Dolly! My orgasm ripped through my body so hard, and so fast, I didn’t have time to even stop to think about what was making it happen. It was like a train of sensations rolling though me. And that really is what was happening. The beads, as they moved towards my opening, were massaging a full 9 inches of my ass.
Yep. 9 inches. I measured just to make sure that the packaging wasn’t lying.
When I could open my eyes, I found my honey, cleaning up the beads with some disinfecting wipes. I’m not sure who had the bigger grin on their face. Him or me.
I got a package from Cal Exotics with the My Mini-Miracle Massager, right before I went off on my vacation. Its always a surprise as to what they are going to send me. So instead of unpacking it before I left – I just threw the whole box in to my luggage. After all, vacations are a time to do spontaneous fun things. What could be more fun than a new toy?
What they sent us is labeled as a massager. A mini one at that. There is not much ‘mini’ about the new toy that Cal Exotics sent. The My Mini-Miracle Massager, pleasure kit is in my favorite color, pink. She comes with her own ‘attachments’. Power cord. And even a short description of instructions. Beyond the highly decorated clear plastic wrapper, there is a whole lot of fun.
At first I was worried about the weight of her. The box that she came in added some weight to my luggage that was for sure. Even after we un-boxed her – and she was just sitting in her packaging, she’s heavy. I mean, lift it up with two hands, heavy. If I’m supposed to massage myself with it, I don’t want to have to use two hands to do it. Thankfully I was wrong about the weight.
The weight comes from Mimi’s electrical power cord. Yes, Mimi. Before you get to wondering if they are all ’girls’ – one of my first toys is a boy. Johnny, the All American Whopper. Mimi’s power cord is a good length. However, BigBear and I have just put in an electrical power strip along our headboard. Easier access that way. Especially with all of the new toys and things that we explore these days.

Mimi herself weighs about two pounds, as most. It really was just the power cord. Yet, before you go thinking that Mimi is a featherweight, think again. She packs quite the punch. I’ve thought about it, and I’ve come to the conclusion that because Mimi doesn’t use batteries, she is better able to sustain her strength. I’m also wondering if this is true for other vibrating toys. I will be keen to find out.
She has a soft rounded head to ‘massage’ your body with. There are also two attachments to hit more ‘defined’ areas of your body. A hard plastic knobby knuckle, which is good for that spot that needs ‘probing’. *grin* They refer to the other attachment as the ‘textured flickering sleeve’. I like to think that its licking rather than flickering. *double grin*.
Beyond her attachments she has a nice springy neck. This allowed me to use Mini’s head against me in ways that were more pleasurable to my body. Its almost 45 degrees in every direction. I pushed and pushed on her head. I tried to find out if she would break under the pressure. She held up very well.
So I had to try Mimi twice. Mainly because she is so powerful. The first time didn’t go too well. I was not worked up enough to enjoy her special way of stimulating things. For me more is too much at the beginning. That is not to say that I didn’t end up enjoying her the 2nd time and 3rd time that I played with her. I just needed some lighter warm-up. Even then, I never had her at the ‘high’ level. She has two levels – and for that I’m thankful.
I don’t know about traveling with Mimi. While its true I took her with me originally on my vacation. I was blessed that I didn’t have to pay overcharges for her in the weight of my luggage. Beyond her weight there is nothing to keep her, her attachments, and power source all in one place. I might consider finding some sort of bag to pack her away in. Right now its just her original packaging. Which makes it a bit odd to just whip her out for some playtime.

As for the instructions – yes they did include them. 4 whole pages of them. And not just 1 page written in 4 different languages. They cover things like how not to get electrocuted while playing with her. She is not waterproof in the manner that you can take her to the tub with you – but you can clean her off with water. Cleaning Mimi is easy. She may not be able to play in your bathtub; though she can be cleaned off in your sink. I used some of those bleach cleansing towels. They let me get all of the cummie off of her surfaces without having to worry about doing something to mess up her insides.
Other instructions included a very nice diagram of her various parts. How to get the most out of her and your experience with her. Oh and how you really should not use Mimi for more than 5 to 20 minutes at a time. I’m sooooo screwed. LoL
I wasn’t a big fan of high powered vibrators. My friend has the Hitachi wand, and so I did try it. Only because the higher power, it didn’t do much for me. So, like the Clit Tingler Rabbit, I will just have to learn how to operate them better. I think I’ll go do a bit more practicing right now. *smile*

Want a shiny new toy? All you’ve got to do is enter.
Anal play is oh so much fun. BigBear loves playing with my ass. He wanted to explore this fetish and I being the loving wife that I am, indulged him. Now I’ve become quite accustomed to the feeling of something being entered into my butt.
So the first thing I noticed about this toy is before we even opened up the mailing box. It’s heavy. The box wasn’t very large. I could fit the mailing box into my small canvas bag, even. I don’t mean just like a school textbook might be heavy. I mean heavy. Dense, heavy.
When we got the bed set up, after all this is anal. Its going to get messy. If it doesn’t you might not be having all the fun possible. We got out both lubes this time. Last time we tried an anal toy (Love Pacifier) we weren’t sure after opening the box that we should use our silicone lube. We didn’t’ know what was in the box, or what kind of material it was made of. So better safe, than have to re-arrange and start over.
I showered. BigBear got the scissors and the towels. I thought about how much I enjoyed the last plug we tried. BigBear got excited. I played in the water a little bit longer than normal. BigBear was thinking about how to get it out in a safer manner this time.
I was ready for our play by the time I got to the bedroom. I plopped down on the bed. Raised my legs to my chest. Looked at BigBear and said: “Now. Please oh I really want it now.” Being the good husband that he is, he obliged me. He handed me the box and a pair of scissors. So much for just going for it. This was not how they did things in the smutty stories I read. LoL
I did my part. I opened the box. And began writing the review in my head. Yep, if you’ve ever wondered how this works for me. Sometimes my brain literally starts writing before I’m even at the laptop. Once I actually stopped playing with a toy to start writing about it. Then came back to the bed to have a second round of fun with the toy. BigBear just sighed the time that happened. Poor guy, huh?
This plug is what I’ve referred to in the past, as Toy Art (like Lelo). The packaging is elegant. This isn’t something to take lightly. The weight of the toy alone told me that much. I slid off the outer cardboard and found a jewelry box. I told BigBear: “Oh look, jewelry for my butt.”
Small, Medium and Large
Inside the box laid Njoy. JoyJoy for short. The metal shinned and glimmered. There were some instructions concealed in the top of the box. Go Njoy. I do like instructions. Even if they also are promoting the other toys by the maker. Knowledge will lead to more toy sales.
JoyJoy is a very small, very shinny, very heavy toy. I took her out and just let her nestle in my hand. She’s not much bigger than a golf ball. Her ‘ring’ is not simply an attached part, but part of the seamless toy itself. No worries about anything breaking off and getting stuck up my butt.
After a small examination with my eyes. And a thorough cleaning with my mouth, I was ready. I do like to tease my BigBear. He used the silicone lube, we didn’t want to have to cut short our playtime, like last time, because of using the water-based lube. JoyJoy is a bit smaller in diameter than the other plug, and much smaller around than the glass cylinder-shaped probe that we have used in the past. So either its her shape or the fact that we are getting better about this; but she was in my butt, in no time flat. (*yes pun was intended – I hoped that you smiled*)
I didn’t need to sit up to feel her in me. I rolled around and felt her just ‘in’ there. There was a definite sensation with her. It has to be the density of her, the weight. After I adjusted to the weight of her in my butt we played.
I wanted to see if I could go around the house and just wear it. But by the time we were done with our fun, I didn’t have any legs left. I was too freaking relaxed from my orgasms. Yes ‘orgasms’. Not having to re-lube, allowed us to have all sorts of fun with JoyJoy.
Also, we’ve learned now how to safely removed the plug. Adding more lube to the neck, we sort of used the neck to re-lube the entrance. So we tried this several times. Out and then re-insert. Out and then re-insert. Yet at no time did I feel like she would have fallen out of me, even when I got up on my knees and bounced really hard on the bed. She stayed right in place.
The clean up is a bit messier with JoyJoy only because we used the silicone based lube, which is just naturally messier. I would have run her through the dishwasher, but I don’t own one. She slipped right back into her toybox. I patted her box and put her in my underwear drawer.
At some point I’m going to have to get up the nerve to take her out about the town. BigBear is so looking forward to that date night. Its not something that I could see doing with any toy that we couldn’t use the silicone lube with, though. So I’m not ready to try it with anything other than this toy right now. My own secret JoyJoy.
