My First Rabbit Reviewed by Jaspir There are a few really cool things about this toy. First of all, it’s small – only four insertable inches long – so it’s less intimidating for people who are new to toys, or nice for someone who prefers a smaller vibrator. It’s purple. It has a little rabbit sticking out from the base of the shaft, designed so its fluttering ears will thwack softly against your clit. This is also a desirable feature for the stimulation, and/or for those turned on by rabbits. It has a pink light in the base of the vibrator, which flashes in sync with the function. The package promises that the toy is waterproof and has ten different vibrating modes. So what’s not to love? My first clue that this was not the toy of my dreams was a typo on the front of the package, “Designed by a woman…for a women” it proclaims. As a word person, such an obvious blunder is a turn off. Plus, I had to wonder if a company pays so little attention to their cover copy, how thoroughly have they planned out this toy? This rabbit has a battery pack (it takes 2 AA batteries) joined to the vibrator by a twenty-inch cord. The button that turns it on and off, and the button that changes the function, are both on this battery pack. Though it has ten numbered functions listed on the back of the battery pack, with names like “tease,” (number 2) “zoom” (number 4) and “racer,” (number 9) you can’t tell which is which unless you count how many times you push the button marked “auto.” Each function key is set for a seven-second sequence of pulses. For example, the first setting, “foreplay,” pulses strongly and slowly six times, then faster six times, then really fast 15 times, then starts over. This all happens in about seven seconds. So it’s hard to get into the groove, since it builds up super fast, then you’re back to the beginning. Now, rabbits are known for their prolific breeding, so maybe it only takes them seven seconds to get off. But for me, it was frustrating in the way sex sometimes is, when your partner keeps varying the speed and dropping you back when you’re almost there, and you’re trying to keep your mouth shut because he only wants to hear so much advice and constructive criticism. This kind of spontaneity and imperfection is to be expected in sex, but during masturbation I like to have some control. The thing that really threw me about My First Rabbit was when I used the “waterproof” toy in the bathtub. Everything was going along okay, besides it being noisy enough that I was glad I didn’t have roommates, then I looked down at the vibrator sliding in and out of my pussy and saw that it was filling with water! Now, granted, the battery pack was in my dry hand, but seeing the bathwater seeping in through the hole around the cord was not reassuring, and ruined whatever mood I was managing through the manic seven-second cycles. So this toy isn’t really for me. But I would recommend it for someone who likes a smaller toy for use on dry land, and who can get off in seven seconds.

Thanks for the suggestions. I guess asking is a good idea!

The Water Rose is a great vibrator for those of us who love pretty things. In fact, this has got to be the loveliest vibrator I’ve ever seen. The transparent red silicone curves into a rosebud pattern at the head. An overlapping row of delicately traced leaves surrounds the base. To add to the bliss of a beautiful vibrator, the Water Rose (as suggested by its name) is also waterproof. Nothing ruins the toy mood like complicated battery compartments that break your fingernails and confuse a person with frustrating diagrams. Thankfully, my two AAs slipped right into the battery chamber, no problem, and the vibe started right up. A push button on the bottom controls the three speeds. Of course, I made sure the batteries were screwed in tightly before I dared submerge the Water Rose in the bathtub. And I can report that it worked just fine. It’s a nice size, too: not too big, not too small. At 1.25 inches in diameter, 7.5 inches long (of course, you only insert it as far as you feel like), it should be able to please a lot of women. The Water Rose is phthalate free. Phthalates are chemical compounds commonly used to make hard plastic flexible. The scientific jury is still out on possible health hazards of phthalates, but you can use the Water Rose without worrying. Water Rose

The All New Anal CyberVibe, as it is called on the package, is a stunning gold color. The package shows right off that it’s for everybody, with a hot lady on one side and a hot guy on the other. And there’s not really a reason you can’t use it vaginally as well (washing it well first, if it was up your ass). So it is a pretty versatile toy. I started by teasing my nipples and clit with the CyberVibe, then after lubing it up, eased it up my ass. Somehow it felt just a little too stiff. Maybe because I’ve mostly used silicone toys lately. Of course, it has to be pretty hard to use anally, but I wasn’t completely sold on the feeling. Also, it tapers out and then back in, so it almost felt like it was going to get stuck there. Which it shouldn’t, because it’s only about an inch in diameter at its widest point. The vibration was nice, with a wide choice of intensities. All in all, a nice toy, pretty color, a bit too stiff for me, but maybe just right for you or your lover. I can't find it on the Too Timid sales site, but it looks just like the Goldmember.

Okay, this is maybe not so funny, but it sort of cracks me up. Keep in mind, no harm was done. So maybe my hearing was diminished because sensation was elsewhere, but I was with a new lover, giving him head, and thought I heard him say, "More teeth." I thought well, I never heard that one before, but if that's what he likes... Took me another few seconds to realize he was saying, "Watch those teeth." I was surprised he ever invited me over to his place again!

About a week after I received this anal plug to review, I realized I was putting it off because it looked frighteningly big. It’s a very nice product: attractive, pearly pink, a graceful shape. But the four and a half inch long toy is two inches across, which looked like a bit much to me. For the sake of Too Timid forum readers, I finally got up my nerve and tried it out. With plenty of water-based lube (as this is a silicone product, you don’t want to use silicone-based lube), I was able to insert it most of the way. But the thing about anal plugs is that you have to get them in past the widest part in order for them to stay put. Then your hands are free, and you can masturbate, or touch your partner, or, I suppose, go grocery shopping and return your library books if that floats your boat. But for me, the wide part was just too wide. So I had to hold onto the flat base of the plug, using it like a poorly shaped anal dildo. Obviously, this is no fault of the toy, which I think is really quite nice and would rate highly for someone who can take the size. It just means I need a smaller, starter anal plug. So if you, like me, are a bit tight in the ass and/or are new to anal plugs, you might want to start with something smaller. But if you’re an old pro, go for it!

I was never one of those horsey girls. The times I tried horseback riding as a child, the guides always said, “You have to let the horse know who’s in control.” Well, obviously the horse was! But I didn’t mind losing control to the tiny flying horse on the Pegasus vibrator. This is more of a cute than a sexy looking toy. In fact, it might make you laugh, especially if you’re using it with a partner. It’s pink and penis shaped, with a small horse attached to the base. The designers could have spent a little longer on the horse’s homely little face and plain, triangular wings. On first glance, it looks pretty complicated. Two buttons control the realistic looking head of the vibe, which you can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. Two more buttons control Pegasus’ little feet, which canter or gallop across your clitoris. It is a bit noisy, maybe enough for kids or housemates to hear from beyond a closed bedroom door. After I spent a couple of minutes configuring the four AA batteries and studying the buttons, it was easy to operate. I inserted the vibrator in four or five inches, until I could feel those heavenly hooves on my clit. Even the low vibration is pretty powerful. What can I say? It sure got me off, and I’ll use it again and again. http://shop.tootimid.com/index.asp?PageAct...amp;ProdID=5343

I was excited to receive waterproof, vibrating ben wa balls to review, because I had always been curious about ben wa balls, and wanted some sex toys for bathtub use. Being new to the concept of this toy, I hoped for instructions inside the box. Alas, there were none. So, like any modern gal, I turned to Wikipedia. According to Wikipedia, “Ben Wa balls are small, marble-sized metal balls, usually hollow and containing a small weight that rolls around…They are used by inserting them into the vagina or anus and removing them at varying speeds in order to create stimulation.” People with a basic understanding of things like batteries might not have this worry, but for those of us who equate electricity with magic, we’re a little nervous about getting in the bathtub, submerging two battery-operated balls in the water, then sticking them up our most private parts. This brings to mind the kind of dumb ass obituary we want to avoid, right up there with people who tried to pet the polar bears at the zoo. But after gingerly holding the vibrating silver balls under some running water in the sink, I felt secure enough to take the plunge. The balls are attached to the battery pack with an eighteen-inch cord. I definitely wasn’t going to put the batteries in the water, so one hand needs to be held out of the tub to keep the batteries safe. The balls were easy to insert vaginally, but their vibrations were more loud than thrilling. There are four speeds to choose from, and the faster ones sounded a bit like laughter as the balls knocked against each other inside me. It felt better to put one inside, and dangle the other over my clit. It’s difficult to insert the balls anally without lube, which doesn’t work so well in the bathtub. But on land, I found the anal vibrations more stimulating but somewhat uncomfortable. It’s also possible to insert one ball in the vagina and one in the ass for an interesting double penetration feel. vibrating ben wa balls

On first glance, I found this a somewhat formidable looking vibrator at seven-and-a-half inches long and two inches in diameter. Not huge by sex toy standards, but larger than most real life penises. The packaging promises a real skin feel, and it is realistic, like a cross between skin and slime toys you get out of gumball machines. Like many sex toys, it has a strong rubbery smell, which may lessen with age. So, what makes it Latin? Well, the skin tone is brown, and some of the packaging is written in Spanish, such as the exhortation to “amo mi juguete,” which, according to an Internet translation, means “master my toy.” It also promises that you can “make her shout, ‘Mas! Mas! Mas!’” That’s about it for Latin. And what’s this about a clit teaser? At the base of the vibrator are fourteen warty looking bumps, definitely not something you would want to see on your real life partner, designed to stimulate the clitoris. I really tried to make this work, but couldn’t feel much. For one thing, to have the bumps against your clit, you have to have it stuck all the way in and leave it there, rather than sliding it in and out. I’d still rather use the left hand to thrust the vibe and the right hand on my clitoris. A push button on the bottom lets you control the speed. You get three options: two slower pulses, and fast. The faster speed worked best for me, as the lower two reminded me of a food processor. Although the packaging made no promises, I tried it for anal, which was realistic but unsuccessful. It felt like when you get frustrated wishing maybe your partner could get just a little bit harder so he could get it in there. I like the looks of the Latin Clit Teaser, warts and all. I took a few digital close-ups and it looked like there could really be a man attached. With a little excitement and perhaps some lubricant, it doesn’t feel overly big once you get it inside. But don’t get your hopes up about the clit teasing. Latin Clit Teaser
