No, this Rosebud isn’t a sled. And, while the Rosebud Silicone Vibrator isn’t a rabbit either, it is what you might call a “rabbit-type vibe,” but in place of the rabbit, this one has a rather ticklish little stingray ready to tease your clit into a delightful frenzy. This in/out vibe is unique in that it’s one of the few available in silicone, so those who are concerned about phthalates in the jelly versions or who want something even easier than elastomer to clean can rejoice (though you can’t boil this one, on account of the non-removable motor in the base, you can wipe the silicone parts down with a soapy washcloth or a toy cleaner). The head on the Rosebud is much less penis-shaped than most others, too, while still being bulbous enough to give you something to grip down on. The shaft does not have beads within like many others, but it still swivels quite strongly (not quickly, but strongly), which is a relief to those of us who do our kegels regularly and can stop weaker in/out vibe shafts by clenching down. The rotating shaft and the vibrating tickler are controlled by separated sliding switches on the battery pack base. Not the quietest vibrator we carry, and cranking both the rotating shaft and the vibrator all the way up to the highest level at the same time will lessen the intensity a bit, but overall it’s a very strong, very pleasing toy. It comes in a soft pink color that gives it its pretty name. And, I ask you, would a Rosebud by any other name be as sweet?

It’s about time someone came up with a toy like the Off With Your Head! Designed to replace the entire old head of your Hitachi Magic Wand (aka the most powerful vibrator we carry, aka woman’s best friend, aka “snoogums”), the sleek black silicone is not only much prettier than the original, it’s also much easier to clean (just pop it off and boil it!). But that’s not the reason I’m in love with this toy, oh no. No, what I’m smitten about is the fact that somebody finally realized that a lot of us use the Hitachi as a clitoral stimulator, and that we needed a way to focus in on that spot that was smaller than a tennis ball. Off With Your Head has three vertical ridges on one side, which you can rub over your clit for a gentle, flicking sensation, or position two of them on either side to surround your clit with vibrating goodness. But, if you’re into very hard vibrations directly on your clit, you’re going to want to use the vertical ridge on the other side of the head to really focus that powerful plug-in vibe right where you want it. Mmm! Do keep the old head around, though, just in case you want to use it with another attachment (such as the Gee Whizard); they won’t fit over this one. Get off better with Off With Your Head.

A few weeks ago I introduced you to the Driver Leather Harness, a two-strap harness with D-rings to adjust the hip/ waist strap. Well, this week we’ve got the Hipster Harness which is basically the buckling version. Buckles have an advantage over D-rings in that they don’t slip, so the Hipster Harness is good for those of you who really go at it like the wild things you are and need a little extra insurance that your harness isn’t going to get flung from your loins (ok, so that’s probably unlikely to happen, but buckles will help keep it snug to it won’t slip down). This one fits nice and low around your hips so the cock can be positioned to put pressure right on the clitoris, making strap-on sex extra fun for her, and it has no O-ring holding the dildo on, just the supple leather of the harness crotch piece, which lets you get that much closer to the person you’re strapping it on for in the first place. The only downside is that this limits you to dildos ranging from 1-1/2″ to about 2″ wide, but if your favorite is within that range, this is an excellent harness choice. Fits hips 28″ to 44″. Dildo not included.

I’ve talked here about my very first vibrator, but a gal’s favorite vibrator can change over time, location and mood. For a while, I was in love with a bullet (this was back when all bullets were connected to a control box and were not replaceable; we’ve come a long way, baby). But it kept getting crimps in the wire and shorting out, making me sad at first, then irritated, then broke from replacing it over and over. So, I looked into other small vibrators, and found the Pocket Rocket, which is small (great for direct clitoral stimulation) and has no wires to crimp. Yay! It became my best friend for years, until I finally got myself a Hitachi Magic Wand, and to this day is the one travel toy I take with me on all roadtrips, vacations and long meetings (kidding on that last one)!
I tell you all this in order to introduce this week’s new vibrator, the Waterproof Duckie Massager. It’s got the same body and internal battery structure as a regular old Pocket Rocket Mini Massager, but with an adorable duckie head. Not only is this yellow bird cute, but it gives you even more surfaces to rub yourself against; the soft rubber beak is perfect for direct clitoral stimulation, or for running over other sensitive bits. It’s also, like real ducks, completely waterproof, which means you can take it in the tub with you without fear of destroying your toy. The dial in the bottom is a bit tricky to turn if your hands are wet, though, so you might want to get this guy going before you hop in. Surprisingly strong for such a small vibe, and it fits in your pocket like a tiny duckling would (not that we suggest filling your pockets with real ducklings, of course). This is one little vibe that is all it’s quacked up to be!

Back by popular demand! No, really. The Rollerball Silicone Cock-Ring has been one of our best-selling, best-loved clit stimulator cock-rings, and when we couldn’t get it for awhile we were nearly deafened by the howls of outraged frustration. So we’re delighted to offer this fabulous toy in our catalog again. The Rollerball has a few things going for it that other clit-stim cock-rings just don’t. The prong that juts out from the ring (y’know, the part that rubs up against our girly bits and makes them extra-happy?) is at a rather jaunty angle. So, if you’ve tried other rings and have found yourself grinding in hard to get to the nubbin of fun, this one’s not going to take near as much effort on your part (and you can use this in pretty much any position you can think of). Once you’ve achieved contact, the Rollerball has a sweet little bed of “pearls” which feel absolutely fantastic bumping over your clit and labia. Mmm. It’s silicone, which not only feels great, but you can also boil it to clean it. Unlike a traditional cock-ring, which goes around the cock and balls, this one is sized to fit only around the shaft, which means you can use it on a dick or a dildo and not have it sliding around all over the place.
What’s that? All that and it’s still not enough for you? For those who need just a little bit of an extra oomph! on their clit, the Rollerball now comes in a vibrating version! Pretty much the exact same toy, but with a surprisingly strong (for its size) micro-mini vibe tucked up inside the prong, putting the vibrations right where she wants them. This enhancement on an already awesome toy just brings a mysterious smile to our faces here in the Blowfish tank. With or without a vibrator, this is one special toy, perfect for bringing your lovemaking to a whole new level of fun.

Most vibrators — especially the hard plastic type — come with your basic high, buzzy vibrations. And while I’m a big fan of high, buzzy vibrations (especially for clitoral play), sometimes they get lost in translation when you’re using a vibrator deep inside your pussy. The Petal Power Vibrator has the flower power I’ve been looking for in an insertable, hard plastic, good-for-the-G-spot vibe. With enough girth to fill you up nicely, but with a gentle curve to hit your G-spot, this vibe has the sort of deep, thudding vibrations you need to really get things throbbing. If that’s not enough, the petals are raised along the surface, adding that extra bit of texture to get your attention. The only thing I don’t like about this pretty little flower is the fact that the scroll-wheel in the base doesn’t lock in the “off” position, which makes it too easy to jostle on (so, y’know, take the batteries out before going through airport security). No worries if it does turn on most places, though — the vibrations are so quiet, it’s nearly inaudible at the lowest setting, and only a low, faint buzz at the highest setting. Hard plastic means it’s easy to clean and compatible with pretty much any lube you’d want to use it with. Next time you want to say it with flowers, consider the kind that will make her bloom.

If you’d like some versatility in your dildo collection, but don’t want to devote a whole chest of drawers to organizing them, here’s a great little dildo that can add a twist to your sex life. The Silky Bendable Elastomer Dildo is made with flexible spine that allows you to bend the dildo at an angle (and have it stay that way). The possibilities here are endless: keep bending it at different angles until you find the one that hits your G-spot just so, re-create that unusual, but oh-so-delightful crink in your otherwise useless ex-boyfriend’s dick, slip it through a harness and bend it at the base for an extra-showy packing dildo that you can straighten and fuck away with at a moment’s notice (do be warned that you might make innocent bystanders drool at the size of your package if you try that last one, though!). With its squeezable, lifelike, silky Elastomer surface, this is definitely one of our more real-feeling dildos; it feels really wonderful rubbing against your own sensitive bits. It even suctions well onto flat surfaces (moisten for best suction). It is latex- and phthalate-free, and compatible with silicone- and water-based lubricant. 7″ long, 1-1/2″ thick and comes in a gorgeous blue color. A favorite of ours and a very handy little guy to round out any toy collection.

Our testing couple fell in love with the Driver Leather Harness, despite being just a wee bit jaded from exposure to nearly every harness under the sex-toy sun over the years. Made of soft garment leather, this harness fits more like a pair of comfy (leather) panties than a contraption made of straps and metal hardware. It’s a basic two-strap harness, so it’s easy to step into, pull up, tighten with the D-rings, and start fucking with it. The two legs straps can be adjusted along the back of the hip strap, making it wearable for men (fans of double penetration, look sharp!), or you can push them together and make this into a sexy G-string harness for her. And the 2″ O-ring snaps out, so you can replace it with a smaller ring to accommodate dildos with smaller bases so they don’t flop all around or slip out. Adjustable, yet simple, comfy, yet sexy, you can see why the Leather Driver Harness is a new fave around the Blowfishie office.

Ok, ok, so I’m a sucker for cute, zoomorphic sex toys, I admit it. What can I say, sex is so full of joy that a little levity in my toys seems not only appropriate, but also reminds me not to take things too seriously and have fun while I’m doing it. But the cuteness is not the only reason I love the Mister Wiggles Silicone Butt-Plug. He is small, he is wriggly (in shape, not innate movement), he is made out of medical grade silicone (so he has some give to him) and he has very friendly gentle ridges along his body. But, most of all, he is small in width while being longer than typical in length. This is great for solo play (more length means you’re not dislocating your shoulder while you try to reach around to get it inserted) but it’s also nice for getting a little deeper without having to overcome something wider than you may be used to. This little guy is also a perfect “warm-up” plug, just the thing to remind you how to relax back there as you get ready for more advanced play. Try spinning him around for an unique undulating sensation. The widest insertable point is a mere 1-3/8″, 5-1/4″ long. This is one adorable butt-plug that’s sure to worm his way into your . . . heart.

In college, it was one of those things us girls talked about: have you ever dated an uncut guy? What does it look like erect? For a few of us, it was a challenge or a badge of honor, and these late-night discussions ultimately got the European exchange student Costas* many, many dates from curious women.
So, let’s dish. Have you ever? Are you curious? If you don’t know anyone who is, or if you do, but you’d rather not go there, the Bronco Suction-Cup Latex Dildo is just the thing to satisfy your . . . curiosity, without sacrificing your standards. This thick, veiny, very life-like cock has something no other dildo we carry does: foreskin! Unfortunately, because this is not actual skin, this foreskin is more for show than it is for sensation, so you’re not going to be able to tug and stroke the foreskin back-and-forth over the head like you could with the real thing (you’ll have to find your own Costas for that, sorry!). But, at 7″ insertable, 2″ thick and a hefty 1.5 pounds, you’re not going to be lacking for sensation with this very filling dildo. Do note that this is modeled on an erect penis-with-foreskin; if you’ve only seen one flaccid, it’s not going to look quite the same. Use the suction cup on a horizontal surface for maximum fuckability (it’s just too heavy to stick to most vertical surfaces, unfortunately) and ride away on uncut goodness!
* Not his real name.

My first vibrator was a plastic piece of torpedo-shaped cheap blue plastic bought from a novelty store in the mall. My college roommate had the same one in pink. It was incredibly basic, inconveniently seamed from its manufacturing process, vibed with a rattle that was embarrassing (it woke up my roommate in the next room!), and was cracked and useless within a semester.
But, oh! The shape! It was the traditional vibrator shape, the Platonic ideal, if you will — phallic enough to be inserted, but smooth enough to pass for a “massager”, with a tip that’s slightly narrower to make sliding it across your clitoris down between your labia a delightfully easy proposition. I am a big fan of the traditional vibrator shape, but unfortunately too many of them are made without the love that more advanced toys are showered with. Not so the Bgood Vibrator! This is a high-end vibrator with a low-end price and a simple, traditional shape. The surface of this toy is slightly matte, giving it a silky soft feel against your own silky soft bits. Instead of a basic on/ off, the dial in the base of this toy gives you a range of vibrations from a teasing buzzing to very high and fast thrumming. And this fabulous vibrator is reasonably quiet and completely waterproof, which means you can use it in the shower or under the sheets and your roommate (or spouse or what-have-you) will be none the wiser. Comes in a black draw-string bag.

I suppose since I told you about my first basic vibrator, I should tell you about my first G-spot vibrator. But that’s an embarrassing story, from back when I thought all vibrators were created equal, long before I learned nearly enough to buy toys for Blowfish. Let’s just say the cheap plastic, overly thick shaft, misplaced vibrations and hard, right-angled head weren’t really doing it for me once I got my new toy home. The Bgee Vibrator is the antithesis of that early mistake of mine, and the gentle angle of the head and slender girth makes for easy insertion and manipulation when looking for your own G-spot. But don’t let me limit you in your experiments with this fabulous toy. Covered in a silky-smooth matte plastic that feels great slipping along your bits, the angled head snuggles nicely right along your clit or works perfectly cupped under a man’s cock or balls. The vibrations (which have a nice range controlled by the simple dial in the base) are concentrated on the head instead of the shaft of the toy, the better to drive your G-spot (or clit, or . . .) into a delightful tizzy. Nearly silent and completely waterproof, this is the G-spot vibrator my younger self sorely needed and my current self dearly loves.
