Spring has sprung, at least in some parts of the country, and as the weather warms up young and old fishies alike start to perk up and frolic (do fish frolic?). Whether you’re searching for a new paramour or getting gussied up for a new roll in the meadow with a favorite lover, we’ve got a whole new patch of smell-goody products to help you feel great. The Kama Sutra Petite Pleasures line features adorably small versions of some of our favorite products, which is just perfect if you’ve always wanted to try them out, but didn’t want to shell out for a full-sized jar. Or, if you already love the products, these are wee enough that you can take them along with you on your next picnic!
Start your evening off with a light dusting of Honey Dust, an edible powder that leaves a tasty shimmer on the skin. It’s light enough to use as a replacement of your daily powder (or nightclub body glitter, though it’s not quite that sparkly!), and sweetly scented just enough to sprinkle in your sheets to make your bed that much more enticing. Once you’ve lured your new love home, relax them with a sensual massage with the sinfully delicious Body Souffle. Very light, it leaves the skin soft and silky instead of greasy, which your partner will appreciate. It also tastes heavenly, making their skin into an even sweeter treat! If you want to take things up a notch, consider rubbing in some Oil of Love, then blowing lightly across the skin to activate the unique warming sensation. A very titillating experience, especially when used on your more sensitive bits. And, finally, for the artistic love, we now offer Kama Sutra Milk Chocolate Body Paint. This is the single-jar version of the most popular flavor from the Lover’s Paintbox. Just dip the supple paintbrush into the tasty chocolate and design your path to paradise!

Maybe you have a late summer wedding that you need a gift for. Perhaps you have a weekend with your sweetie coming up and you want to spice things up. Or it might just be that you’ve had a long week and want to pamper yourself a bit. Whatever the occasion, Kama Sutra’s line of delectable massage and body products are sure to delight, soothe, titillate or otherwise inspire you to new heights of creative sensuality.
Our newest kit is a Treasure Trove of such delights — no, really, it says so right in the name: Kama Sutra Treasure Trove, Strawberry Champagne! Unlike Kama Sutra’s other kits, this gorgeous pink-tinged tin concentrates on just one tantalizing flavor, and it’s one we think appeals to a wide variety. I mean, who doesn’t like ripe strawberries, bursting with flavor alongside the nose-tickling light bubbly experience of good champagne? Comes with Kama Sutra’s Oil of Love, Honey Dust (with feather applicator) and Stimulating Pleasure Balm, all in said Strawberry Champagne. A truly kissable collection of sweet lover’s treats!

Dear Blowfish,
I used to use Bliss Lube from you, but it’s gone now . . . what happened?
Ah, unfortunately, the makers of Bliss Lube went out of business a little while ago. Two long-lasting lubes that you might try, if you haven’t yet, are Slippery Stuff (the Gel version is more versatile, in our opinion) or the Eros Aqua Formula (which is going to be quite runny). Both are virtually odorless and tasteless and last a long time.
Happy playing!

A few years ago we finally found latex gloves in black, to much cheering from the stylish, the kinky, the goths and everyone else who agrees that black goes with everything. Now, finally, we can offer the same classic color in latex (and powder) -free Nitrile Black Dragon Gloves! Nitrile is a synthetic alternative to latex, with many advantages, including being stronger, thinner (which means more sensation!), and compatible with oil-based lubricants. It contains no natural rubber proteins to distress those allergic to latex. They come in small, medium, large and, yes, even extra-large, in boxes of 100 (all one size per box). Since Nitrile is less stretchy than latex, if you usually wear your latex pretty snug we suggest that you order these Nitrile Gloves one size larger than you normally would. If you’re tired of your Purple Nitrile Gloves, allergic to latex or just want to use your oil-based lube while wearing slimming black gloves for a change, we’ve found nothing better.

Dear Blowfish,
We’d love to use a 100% vegan lube . . . but how can we tell?
Unless the manufacturer has promised us that the lube in question is vegan, we have no idea whether a particular lube is vegan or not. In general, it’s best to stay away from most lubes that contain glycerin, since that is usually (but not always), derived from animals. However, we currently do carry a couple lubes that claim to be 100% vegan. Intimate Infusions Lubricant is “all natural”; the glycerin in these lubes come from vegetables and they’re made from a natural formula. A few of the Sliquid lubes — specifically Sliquid H2O and Sliquid Sassy — say “100% vegan” in their list of ingredients, and all of their bottles say “Never tested on animals”. And I did see that the O’My lubes specify vegetable glycerin in their list of ingredients, though I can’t vouch for the rest of their ingredients.
As far as condoms are concerned, from what we can tell, most latex is indeed vegan, although some brands may use a protein derived from milk in their formulation process. For that reason, to be sure of not interacting with animal products, we offer polyurethane condoms (that to the best of our collective knowledge are vegan). If you know of any reason to believe that Avanti polyurethane condoms are not vegan, please do let us know!
Happy playing!

Dear Blowfish,
I’m looking for a lube to use with a technique I recently learned. It involves lightly stroking a woman’s clitoris for 15 minutes straight, or longer. Are there any lubes that you can recommend that would be suitable for that type of endeavor?
You’re right in thinking that a water-based lube is going to start getting sticky well before the end of your 15 minute stroke session. We’d recommend a pure silicone based lube like Eros Bodyglide or Wet Platinum. These are made from premium quality liquid silicone and won’t come off until you wipe it or wash it off. That being said, 15 minutes of friction is a lot of rubbing for any lube. If your lady friend is not supplying any of her own, natural wetness, you could find that you’ll need to reapply a drop or two partway through the session.
We don’t recommend oil-based lubes like Vaseline. While very slippery and often used for anal play, oil based lubes irritate the vagina and can cause all sorts of problems internally.

Living in the Bay Area, it seems that everyone is going “green”. For those in a not-so-environmentally-conscious area, this means using earth-friendly products, growing plants organically, and paying attention to the things we put in, and on, our bodies. Blowfish has always been pretty green, and we’re certainly concerned with the things you are putting in and on your body. That’s one of the reasons we are still selling the V’tae Natural Lavender Lotion. Made from organic lavender (among other organic things) and produced by folks who don’t use parabens in their formulations, this lotion is a staple in our office any time we need to soften our rough edges, so to speak. We know that our loyal customers like using top quality toys, lubes, and other supplies, so why stop there? Put something good for you on your skin and the rest of your body will thank you. Besides, the V’tae Lavender Lotion comes in a pretty purple bottle with a pump top and makes one heck of a Mother’s Day gift. (Yes, Mother’s Day is this Sunday. If you can’t get her a set of anal beads, good lotion is always appreciated and shouldn’t make her blush too much at Mother’s Day brunch.)
