Editor’s Pick
- Rabbit Habit by CLP
I never wanted to try a rabbit-style vibrator before. Truthfully, I was a bit scared of the idea of so much commotion.Vibrating rabbit ears? Wobbly head? Revolving pearls? For someone that prefers simple, one-speed clitoral stimulation to get off, this doesn’t exactly sound pleasant. I’d never even thought to try one, since the price point to jump in is usually pretty high. What if I didn’t like it? What if the shaft is too thick, or hurts when inside? Nope, nope–not the risk.
Or so I thought.
Ed. note: While the review itself is definitely well-written and engaging what really won me over were the pictures. Take a look!

Flexi Felix review
22The last time I went out for a walk, I managed to catch a wiggly worm known as Flexi Felix near a Babeland store. Want to know more about Flexi Felix, you say? Well, Flexi Felix is a 12 inch long set of anal beads, only 10 inches of that length are insertable. He comes in three colors, hot pink, light blue, and black. It’s made of pure 100% silicone and are hatched by Fun Factory. The smallest bead at the very end of it’s tail is about 3/4 of an inch and then they gradually get bigger. The biggest bead under Flexi Felix’s head is about and inch wide. Felix’s head is the handle of the beads and is a little over 2 inches wide, each eye hole makes the grip for the handle. I really like that the handle is wider and has the two hole to grip on, I feel that it makes it a bit easier to hold onto and remove comfortably. Felix is a nice lightweight and strong toy, I did the pull and stretch test on him so I am sure he will not tear or break. Flexi Felix is completely smooth and has no texture at all except for the rippling beads. The beads add great stimulation to your sensitive anus due to the ripple of the beads when you insert them and pull them out.. It’s rather fun!
Flexi Felix is my first set of anal beads, I have received anal pleasure from the use of plugs and from my partner. I do enjoy it, so I decided to try beads to see if they were for me. The first reason I chose Felix is because he isn’t intimidating looking at all. I mean, look at him – he’s just too cute to pass up. The second reason is that he is made of 100% silicone, which means that he is easy to clean and can be sanitized easily. You can clean him using mild soap and water, stick him in the dishwasher, or even boil him for 5 minutes. Silicone is non-porous so you won’t have to worry about any bacteria getting soaked up. The third reason is because he looked completely sleek and smooth – because I wasn’t interested in putting anything with texture on it in my butt. The forth reason is because of the difference in size, it starts out below an inch and goes up to an inch. My partner and I have been interested in prostate stimulation, so I chose this toy because I could put something in him that wasn’t too huge and once he was ready for something bigger I could insert the next bead.
A friend told me at one time that she enjoys beads over plugs or toys sometimes because she doesn’t feel as if she needs to compensate. This makes sense to me for this toy, because the beads are more ovular shaped instead of perfect round circles. For me, this made the toy easier to insert because they felt a bit more sleek. Flexi Felix is a great first anal toy for someone ready to explore anal pleasure because it’s smooth and squishy and the beads start small and go bigger – allowing you to adjust to having different size toys in your butt. This toy was the first toy I ever used for anal stimulation on my partner, he had no complaint about them whatsoever and told me that they even felt natural because of the smooth silicone. Natural meaning that it was almost like they were made to be up there.
When I first used the toys it was a little hard to get them in because of the small strings in between the beads. I had to try my best to hold them erect so that I could insert them easily. Once I got two in, I didn’t have a problem whatsoever. Be sure to use plenty of lubricant as well when you are practicing any kind of anal stimulation so you won’t cause harm to your body. When I say “use plenty”, I mean use plenty and be sure to add more lubricant during use so the beads won’t dry out.
As far as packaging and instructions, Felix came in great, easy to open packaging, just as all Fun Factory toys do. Though it really didn’t come with a whole lot in the way of instructions, I already knew how to properly use anal beads before I bought the toy, but for those brand new that don’t have any knowledge – then they may be at a loss. Though anal beads are pretty straightforward when it comes to use. I store my Flexi Felix in a lockable storage case. Silicone can tend to be a bit of a lint magnet so you may have to rinse it in between uses.
The final verdict: I love Flexi Felix and I am glad to have him in my toy collection, it’s smooth and squishy. I have had no problem when it has come to use. You can use the beads solo or with your partner (you can even have your partner remove them during intercourse). He is easy to clean and worth the money. I’ll admit, I am not a huge fan of the cutesy toys because I always feel like I shouldn’t be using it for sexual purposes but I am glad I got past that with this toy – he’s worth it. I found the toy very pleasurable, so I highly recommend him!
Go search around your Babeland Toy store and try to find your own Felix – while you are there be sure to shop around their great toy collection.
We Vibe II Review
17I’ll start off by saying that I love couples toys because I love having a toy that both my partner and I can enjoy together. So I was thrilled when I was able to receive a We-Vibe II from the great female friendly website, Good Vibrations. What’s the We-Vibe II, you ask? The We-Vibe II is a vibrator designed to be worn during intercourse. It is shaped like a “U” and one side is inserted inside the vagina while the other side sits outside onto your body and stimulates the clitoris. There are two motors on each side of the “U”, that create the vibrations. So both you and your partner should be able to feel them inside and out. This trait is what drew me to the We-Vibe II in the first place. I loved the idea that is was something that my partner and I could both enjoy.
The We-Vibe is about 3 and 1/4 inches long and is made of flexible purple silicone. It comes equipped with 9 different settings. My favorite being the “Cha Cha Cha” setting where the vibrations follow the “One, Two, Cha Cha Cha” beat. The vibrations are not buzzy at all, they are fairly moderate – not too light and not too strong. I definitely feel that there should be a perfect setting for everyone. I think that the vibrations feel great, my only issue with them is that I could barely feel them when my partner was thrusting fast. At least not at all on the inside, I could not feel anything on the “G-spot” side of the vibrator. I have read complaints about that in other reviews, that the vibrations are just too weak to be felt. I can see how that would be a complaint because the vibrations are a moderate strength and may not be strong enough for those who need nice strong vibrations. The strength of the vibrations were decent enough for my clit which is more sensitive but not strong enough to make a huge impact on my g-spot which is not so sensitive until I am really revved up. The We-Vibe II would not be enough to get me off on it’s own, I would definitely need the extra stimulation from my partner to get the full effect. My partner on the other hand, could feel the vibrations fine and really seemed to enjoy the added stimulation during intercourse. I enjoyed seeing the reaction it got from him during sex.
The We-Vibe II is controlled by a single push button which is small and a little hard to see at first because it looks as if it’s just a little nub on the toy. It’s easy to use but my complaint about it is that it can be a little hard to use if you have lubed up hands. The control button is on one side of the “U” and the spot to connect the charger is on the other side of the “U”. The hole for the charger is pretty neat because it’s very small and it’s covered pretty well to keep any moisture from getting inside it. The We Vibe II does stay in place very well during intercourse, I was a bit worried at first that it would not because I am a petite woman. I did not feel it budge one bit when I was penetrated by a toy or my partner.
The We-Vibe II is made of silicone which means that it can be cleaned various ways, I usually clean my silicone toys using hot water and mild soap. You can also clean the toy by sticking it in the top rack of your dishwasher or boiling it in water for 5 minutes. I normally just clean with hot water and mild soap after use and then every other month I will stick a few of the toys in the dishwasher to get a more thorough cleaning. The We-Vibe comes with easy to understand instructions with a diagram showing how to properly use the toy and a list of the settings. When it comes to storage, the toy comes with it’s own satin storage bag. I keep mine in the bag and inside a lockable storage case.
All in all, I really enjoy my We-Vibe II and I see myself and my partner using it more in the future. If you would like further instructions on working the We-Vibe, you can find a video here: link.
Wondering where to get your very own We-Vibe? I got mine from the great sex toy website: Good Vibrations. It’s a favorite of mine, they are very female friendly and have a great selection of sex toys and female friendly videos. Go get your We-Vibe now!
