Day 19 Blog # Choose Your Weapon

There's an overwhelming feeling, like being a kid in a candy store, that engulfs many women who try to choose a vibrator.
Whether it's for the first time, the tenth time or just the longest time, the choices are so varied that she might feel like giving up and remaining a toy virgin, and that would be a shame.
Fear no more girlfriends because here's my tried and true method for finding your best buddy, but be warned - it's easier than you think so there's really no excuse.

The secret is that there's really only three types of vibrators.

1. Clitoral Stimulators

 2. Internal Shafts

 3. Dual Action Vibrators (clitoral stimulator and shaft together)










All you have to do, is figure out which one is going to suit your needs best.

 (Just kidding)












So what does it for You?

If you're wanting to have some fun on your own, there's nothing like a good clitoral stimulator - they really work much better than your own fingers. They're also great to use during sex to help you have that rare, simultaneous orgasm with your partner, or just to enhance the feeling of penetration. Of all the millions of vibrators available, the clitoral stimulator is my number one choice for most girls.

My favourite clitoral stimulators (1) are:-

a) 7 Deadly Sins - not the prettiest, but affordable, SUPER strong and very effective.
b) Bullet - no pesky wires, strong, discreet and cheap.
c) Siri - rechargeable (just like your phone), strong, multi-speed and very pretty.

 Sometimes, just an internal vibrator hits the spot. A single girl who hasn't got her own penis to penetrate her might crave only that. Of course luckily, a good vibrating shaft can be used externally as well to satisfy the demanding clitoral bud. A simple vibrating shaft, or non-vibrating dildo also has the added bonus of being the extra penis during sex play. Your partner might love to fuck you with a dildo and watch 'another man' do the business! Excellent for fantasy and role play!

My favourite internal shafts (2) are:-

a) Calla - rechargeable, delectably pink, soft and pretty yet strong as an ox and has the added bonus of a flanged base so it butts up against the clitoris.
b) Gigi - rechargeable, shaped to target the G-Spot and has a nice flat, wide tip for clitoral play. It's hard and inflexible.
c) Sunrise - soft, smooth silicone, nice average proportions, lots of speeds and rhythms and affordable.

The dual action vibrator satisfies the most demanding of us all - when only internal penetration plus clitoral stimulation will do. The traditional 'rabbit' style vibrators have long been a girls' best friend but nowadays there are so many superior styles on the market, they really make the rabbits look like fossils.

My favourite dual action vibrators (3) are:-

a) Mini Salsa - it's small (but that doesn't matter because it targets the nerve centres), rechargeable, silicone smooth, soft and it's very cute!
b) Soraya - it looks like an Alessi appliance, it's rechargeable, waterproof and gorgeous.
c) Senseii - if you love a rabbit, then this one is the best because it's made of silicone so it's super soft where others are forceful and rigid. The rabbit 'ears' flutter like tongues on your clitoris in a delightfully heavenly manner.

There are many variations of these three types of vibrators, and then of course there are all sorts of fun novelties like vibrating cock rings, remote controlled eggs, butt toys and non vibrating dildos made of silicone, glass and stainless steel. But for a good trusty toy that will do it for you every time, take these three types of toys into consideration and choose your weapon.

Day 3 Blog # Passionfruit's Top 3 Toys of The Year.

All toys have been given points out of 10 for three criteria.
Form, Function, Fun

Number 1: Lyla by Lelo
$159.00

In number 1 spot with a score of 10/10 is the spanking new Lyla from Swedish brand Lelo.

10/10 points to Lyla for superior design, aesthetic and function.

This little gem is the toy I've been waiting for!
Remote controlled vibrators have been popular for some time, especially after seeing them in such films as Shortbus (borrow it if you can) and The Ugly Truth.
The trouble is - they've never worked very well.
Also, the person in control of your little vibrating egg, never knows if it's working, so is constantly looking at you with an expectant, hopeful, slightly alarmed gaze.

Lelo's industry first sensemotion Lyla, enables the controller to know exactly what's happening because the control pad vibrates in unison with the egg.
By simply flicking the wrist and moving the controller from side to side, you can make the egg vibrate as fast or as slow as you like.
You can watch this very cheesy video to see exactly how it can be used.





Beautiful form, hypo-allergenic, waterproof, re-chargeable, 12 speed.

10/10 points to Lyla for Fun.

What could be more exciting than going to a party, dinner date or library with this sexy little vibrating ball inside you or your pants?
You'll love it and your partner will love your little secret.
Try it. It's awesome!

Number 2: Calla by Fun Factory
$195.00

The fabulously soft, delectable Calla by Germany's Fun Factory receives 9/10 points.

10/10 points to Calla for superior design, aesthetic and function.

Calla has a beautiful form and texture that makes you want to hold it and love it and never let it go. If you were a fly on the wall at Passionfruit, you would notice me and the other staff plus the customers, walking around with this toy firmly gripped in our palm.
The loop at the base is a lovely ergonomic design and the control buttons lights up as soon as you pick it up so there's no fumbling in the dark.
It's waterproof, re-chargeable, hypo-allergenic and multi-speed.
Only 1 point is lost for the soft buttons that can be damaged by long fingernails.
No points lost for the Fun Factor though.

10/10 points to Calla for Fun.

Calla has remarkable strength - so much so that you can still feel it even after you've turned it off!
The floral whorling shape is wonderfully suited for both vaginal and anal use and the base vibrates perfectly over the clitoris.
All of these factors combine to make a toy that is versatile, sensual, powerful and sexy.
A must have in your toy box.

Number 3: We-Vibe 11 by Standard Innovation Corporation
$169.00


The We-Vibe is the first toy to give both partners the ride of their lives!

8/10 points to We-Vibe 11 for design, aesthetic and function.

Invented by a savvy Canadian couple, the We-Vibe was created for couples to use together.
The ingenious design allows the woman to insert one end of the C shape into her vagina, while the other end wraps itself externally around her clitoris.
Nine different variations in vibration can then be utilised - but the best bit is that the little device stays inside during sex!
For the woman, it feels as though she has a vibrating penis inside her, and for the man, it feels like a hot, vibrating vagina! Hell yeah!
It's waterproof, re-chargeable, hypo-allergenic and multi-speed.
There are now many variations of the We-Vibe - a testament to its groundbreaking brilliance.
I take just 1 point away for the slight difficulty in changing the speed whilst it is inside you;
a tricky procedure at the best of times.
Another point lost for the sometimes rubbery feel of the toy.
Lots of lubrication is a must!

10/10 points to We-Vibe 11 for Fun.

If you're planning a hot weekend away, a surprise birthday present, or something to spice things up a little, We-Vibe 11 is a brilliant sex toy.
It's the best toy to buy if you don't want your partner to feel like they're missing out!
Just know that it takes 24 hours to charge initially.
Many customers have rung through first and asked us to have it fully charged in time for pick up.
A job we're happy to do!
