Playing with Toys: Gigi

Tuesday September 4, 2012
Full disclosure, I was in love with the Lelo company and its products before I even got my hands on one. When I first became acquainted with Lelo in late 2009, I was still convinced that sex toys would never get much more sophisticated than a jelly cock. So when I first set my sights on theGigi, I was in toy-design heaven. Everything that Lelo produces is sleek, chic and comes off as much more sophisticated and sexy than a jelly cock. Sex toy design, up until Lelo and other ahead-of-their-time companies took a different direction, had been rather neglected and toys were designed to be either perfunctory or ridiculously silly (although the silliness had a point; sex toys are illegal in many parts of the world, and the silliness helped toys appear more like children's toys and therefore more acceptable). Once the streamlined, seamless and sophisticated design was popularized by Lelo, most reputable companies followed their lead by developing new toys that took on this appearance.

Wednesday August 29, 2012
I was excited to get a hold of Nosy because this toy was designed by the guy who designed all of the original Lelo toys.  How can you go wrong?  Well, Nosey is not a Lelo, but it is a pretty good toy.

Playing with Toys: Hitachi Magic Wand

Tuesday August 14, 2012
The Hitachi Magic Wand needs no introduction. It's the Pulp Fiction of Vibrators; a polarizing cult toy with a cult following. Known as the Cadillac of vibrators, the Hitachi has been around in North America since the 1970's. The Magic Wand is produced by, you guess it, Hitachi; a Japanese company that mostly designs and sells electronics and computer systems. Although introduced to the market as a wand massager (thanks to its deceiving but incredibly practical design), the Magic Wand gained notoriety as a sex toy from its multiple appearances in classic 70's porn. Since then, multiple knock-offs and "improved" models have flooded the market, but in this reviewers opinion, nothing beats the original.
