The Twizzle Trigger Wand Massager

I had been searching for a miniature wand style vibrator for some time but hadn’t had much luck. I finally came across the Twizzle Trigger wand through sextoys.co.uk, and immediately purchased it. It wasn’t just the desire for a more compact wand that led me to the purchase of this particular toy, but also the appearance of the toy appealed to me. Unlike some wands, the TwizzleTrigger has a funky modern aesthetic. 

The Twizzle Trigger arrives in a cardboard box with a cut-out front revealing the product. The box is ultramodern in design with its plain white background and blocked out colours. The box states that the head of the toys is flexible and can be bent into which ever position you desire. The description also claims that the toy is waterproof; this is very different to most wands I own, which can only be used during land based activities. The toy is kept in a plastic clamshell packaging; there are also six batteries within the plastic container. The toy comes with nine batteries in total, three of which are already inserted into the toy. I really appreciate toys which come with spare batteries, especially when they are LR44 type. There is also a one year warranty, with a form that must be sent off. 

The Twizzle Triggers size compared with the Hitachi.

The toy is in a dark purple colour. I actually like this colour compared to the sterile whites and creams you get with most wands. The wand is tiny - it’s only 4 inches in length - but don’t let the size deceive you into thinking this isn’t a powerful toy; it packs a hefty punch. The toy’s head is 3.25 inches in circumference, which is a lot smaller than the standard wand size; this toy really is perfect for those aiming for pin-point clitoral stimulation. The head has a ribbed silicone sleeve which is removable, meaning that you have a choice between silicone textured toy and a smooth abs plastic surface. The head of the toy is only 1 inch in length. The head has a flexible white stem. This has to be the most durable and flexible stem I’ve found on a wand vibrator. At the base there is a twist cap for the battery compartment. The setting button is multi functional, and has a hole for a wrist strap, which is provided. I found the on/off button rather nifty, even though it took me some time to locate. It’s made from very soft material, and is easy to use. Also it isn’t easily triggered. The wrist strap is made from soft material and its design is very similar to what you would find with a camera or USB stick. The wrist strap can be removed easily, which may be convenient if you are a squirter. The toy is waterproof and the seal seems pretty good. Most wands aren’t waterproof, so this really is an advantage.

The wand has 10 vibration settings from pulsation to escalating. All the vibrations are very strong and are focused in the head of the toy. Even though this vibrator isn’t as strong as the Hitachi wand or similar, it’s still more powerful than most bullet vibrators, and even stronger than a lot of standard battery powered insertable vibrators. If there was one main thing I would change about this vibrator, it would be having to scan through all the settings to turn off the vibrator. The first setting is shockingly powerful, so you may want to be prepared by applying lubrication beforehand. The vibrator is fairly noisy but still not as noisy as certain lower quality toys.

When using the toy, orgasm occurs quickly after pressing the trigger. The toy is very powerful and can feel numbing if held too long on a sensitive area. Yes, the toy is weaker than a mains powered wand, but it is more compact, meaning you get more direct stimulation. I have inserted the toy, but feel uncomfortable doing this, due to the removable head and its size. When using the toy with its silicone sleeve the vibrations feel slightly weaker, but still highly effective. The silicone sleeve does cause slightly more friction when rubbed against dry skin than the smooth plastic head.

The toy isn’t overly great for general body massage, as the main shaft doesn’t have as much weight behind it as the Hitachi or similar has. The toy is still a great couple’s toy due to its flexible head. If you enjoy using a bullet for clitoral stimulation during vaginal penetrative sex and couple foreplay, then this toy would be great for you. The head is extremely flexible, while still delivering strong vibrations.

The toy is very easy to clean, though you may wish to remove the silicone sleeve while washing the toy, as you don’t want to get moisture trapped inside it. The wrist strap is also easily hand washed.

Overall, I really like this toy, but I wish it wasn’t battery powered. The batteries do seem to last fairly long, and you get a nice back up supply, but still I imagine I will be getting frustrated once my power supply depletes. This toy would be great for those looking for a wand style toy and for those new to high powered vibrations. It’s a cheap alternative to a mains powered wand, and is very portable.

Noemie Lovemoiselle Ceramic Dildo

The Noemie is a ceramic dildo by Lovemoiselle. The dildo is very feminine and sensuous in appearance, from its gracefully waved body to the delicate flower that has been glazed onto its surface, almost as if it’s been applied through mehndi. The Noemie may appear to be a very delicate piece of pottery, but it’s actually a lot stronger than one would expect.

The toy arrives in a luxurious black box with a clear plastic window on the front revealing the contents within. The box has various glossy silvered flowers artfully appearing to trail over it. On the front you will find the brand name printed in silver. On the back of the box you will find a short description of the Lovemoiselle dildo. The description claims that the toy is strong and durable considering its weight. The toy is also ergonomic, being contoured with women in mind. On the whole, the box is very stylish, and this means the toy would make a great gift. Inside the box there is a foam insert protecting the toy. The toy is firmly wedged into the insert, which can make it slightly difficult to remove. Underneath the toy there is a soft velvet bag, for storage. The velvet bag isn’t made from the greatest quality material, but the construction of the bag is strong. The bag easily accommodates the toy, and is opened and closed via a drawstring. In the box you will also find a miniature booklet depicting the rest of the Lovemoiselle dildo range. The booklet congratulates you for purchasing from their range, and also provides usage tips and cleaning instructions. There is a reassuring note stating that even though some may think of ceramic as being fragile, the method used to manufacture the material used within Lovemoiselle products means that your toy is strong, durable, and should last a lifetime. In the unlikely case of your toy becoming damaged you should avoid using it.

The dildo is made from a silky smooth ceramic, which feels as gorgeous as it looks. There is a purple flower painted onto the shaft which provides an almost unnoticeable variation in texture. The flower appears very modern in style. I highly doubt it will wear away from the toys surface. I have used the toy a few times now, and even scratched at its pattern, and it hasn’t worn or chipped so far. At the bottom of the toy there is a purple plastic stopper. The toy is hollow making it very light to hold. When I saw this toy pictured online I imagined it to be more petite, but it’s actually just over 8.5 inches in length. There are three wave-like bulges in the shaft of the toy. The first bulge is approximately 4.5 inches in length, the second 2.5 inches, and the third is approximately 1 inch long. You are very unlikely to experience vaginal stimulation from the two lower bulges. The small bulge around the base acts as a great handle, as your hand can comfortably wrap round it. The girth of the toy is 4.5 inches at its widest point, and 3.5 inches at its thinnest point. The tip is slightly tapered, making insertion easy. Shape wise the Neomie looks rather simple, but actually it’s been crafted with the utmost consideration.

When using the toy I found that I needed very little additional lubrication, due to its tapered tip and non-porous surface. The toy gently glided into my vaginal opening and brushed against my g-spot. I was only able to insert the main bulge of the toy into my vagina. The first bulge is perfectly contoured and glided smoothly inside my body. I found the ceramic warmed to my body’s temperature quickly, adding to the sensation it provided. The toy provided exceptional sensations considering how straight and smooth the shaft is. The toy slowly led to a relaxing g-spot orgasm. The Noemie really does feel like it’s been crafted to fit beautifully inside my body, and flows gracefully along my vaginal wall, caressing each sensitive spot.

The dildo is great for temperature play, and quickly adjusts to and maintains the desired temperature. To adjust the toy temperature, simply run it under a hot or cold tap. Do not heat this toy with boiling water or by placing it in the microwave, as you may crack the ceramic.

The Noemie is also a great couple’s toy, especially if you enjoy massages. The firmness of the waved ceramic rolls wonderfully over a partner’s body, helping to smooth away any aches and pains.

The toy is very easy to clean; all you have to do is run it under hot water and apply your standard antibacterial wash. Even though the toy is hollow you don’t have to worry about water or dirt getting trapped inside, due to the plastic stopper sealing the base.

Overall, I like the Lovemoiselle Noemie, and think that it’s a great contoured ceramic dildo. It’s not just an elegantly girly sculpted piece of art, but also a highly functional, sensual toy. There is nothing I don’t like about the Noemie, it is entirely faultless.

You can purchase the Noemie ceramic dildo from Nice'N'Naughty.

Flexi Risque 10 Function Anal Probe/Butt Plug

This month CaliforniaExotics sent me Flexi Risque, which is a 10 function vibrating anal probe/butt plug with a flexible stem. This is meant to be a powerful unisex anal vibrator. Due to the size and firmness of the toy, and strength of vibrations, I would not recommend this toy to anal beginners. 

The toy arrives in a clear plastic clamshell packaging. There is a paper insert, featuring a picture of the toy showing how flexible the stem is. The packaging states that the toy is waterproof, so you can use this toy in the shower or bath. I would recommend you use silicone lubricant if you are going to use this toy in aquatic conditions. In the packaging you will find battery installation instructions with diagrams. The toy takes three AAA batteries; this is a lot more than most battery powered plugs so I expected it to be more powerful. To install the batteries you need to twist open the base, and then replace it before turning the toy on. When I opened the battery compartment there was a greasy, oil-like residue which had a chemical smell to it. I suspect this is to help you to open and close the battery compartment, as it is very stiff to twist open or close. The seal around the battery compartment seems very strong, and I doubt water would leak through it. The head of the toy is in a tapered cone shape, and looks similar to a small egg. It is 5 inches in circumference at its widest point and 2.5 inches in length. The flexible shaft is just less than 2 inches in length. The base is rather heavy and large, because it has to be capable of holding three AAA batteries; the circumference of the base is just over 9.5 inches. In the centre of the base there is a small push button, this is soft and very easy to operate. 

I have to say I’m not overly fond of this toy. To me, it looks bulky and intimidating, and it also appears to have a few problem areas with regards to being a good anal toy. The base is described as EZ-grip but I actually had trouble gripping this toy, and only just managed to fit it comfortably in my hand. I do have extremely small hands, but I feel that perhaps this toy was designed with men in mind. Also, as the base is so large, I wondered how comfortable it would be for women who enjoy both vaginal and anal stimulation simultaneously. The other problem I had with its design was with the number of gaps around the head of the toy and shaft. There is a ring running round the head of the toy which could easily trap dirt. There’s also a gap where the flexible shaft enters the firm plastic head. Dirt and fluid can get trapped inside this gap, again making the toy hard to clean. The flexible stem can be bent quiet vigorously without breaking; I feel that this toy might be good for men looking for p-spot stimulation.

The toy has 10 vibration, pulsation and escalation settings. Unlike some vibrators there is no need to cycle through all the settings to turn the toy off. All you need to do is hold down the push button for a few seconds and it turns off. When you switch the toy back on it will have remembered the last setting you were one. This means it’s easy to pick a favourite setting and stick to it. All the vibrations are strong and can be felt throughout the toy. The main strength of the vibrations are focused at the tip of the toy, so you are more likely to experience greater stimulation internally than some toys where the vibrations are positioned too far away from your sweet spots. The vibrator does sound rather loud when it’s not inserted, but once it is inserted it’s incredibly quiet compared to what one would expect from such a powerful toy.

 

Sorry for the bad video, just wanted to show you how flexible the toy is.

Inserting the toy needed a small amount of additional lubrication. I did find it slightly uncomfortable as I pushed the toy into the anus and past the sphincter; I think this was due to the firmness of the plastic. Once the toy was inserted it felt relatively comfortable. The weight of the base didn’t draw the toy out of my anal canal, but acted as a reminder that the toy was actually inside me. This was good, as some anal toys basically go unnoticed due to their lack of weight and rigidity. Due to the size of the base of this toy, you have no worry about it travelling into the anal canal and getting lost. The base did make it hard to move about while the toy was inserted though. I inserted the toy while lying down, and due to the size of the base I had difficulty in sitting upright again. The base extended over my perineum, and so got in the way of the vaginal opening. Even though the stem is flexible, it was still difficult to insert additional toys into the vagina while the base was protruding over it. This made me think even more so that this toy is designed for the male anatomy, rather than female. I didn’t really experience any benefits from the flexible base, whereas a man might find it beneficial when stimulating the p-spot. The vibrations were strong and I enjoyed the variety of the vibrations available. It did heighten sensation in clitoral orgasm, but I just wish it was easier to stimulate my g-spot while the plug was inserted. During orgasm I was pleased to find that the toy did not pop out like some butt plugs.

Cleaning the toy isn’t as easy as I would like. For me, I want all toys to be relatively easy to clean, but especially anal toys. There is a ring round the head of the toy that can trap dirt, and also there is a gap between the head and the shaft of the toy that can cause problems. The gap between the head and shaft can be cleaned by flexing the shaft to various angles, giving you access to the areas that are normally hard to reach.  At least the toy is waterproof, meaning that you can soak it in sterilising solution to help ensure hygiene. I would recommend letting this toy air before putting it away, due to the possibility of moisture becoming trapped.

Overall, this toy wasn’t right for me. I did enjoy the vibrations and how it actually stayed put during play, but for me it just has too many problems. It’s tricky to clean, uncomfortable to hold, and gets in the way of the vaginal opening.  I do however feel that this toy would work well for a man, or women who enjoy anal focused sessions without the addition of g-spot stimulation. The head of the toy is rather large, and also due to the strength of the vibrations, I would only recommend this to people with some experience of anal play.

Good Clean Love’s Almost Naked Lubricant

When the Good Clean Love lubricant range became available I knew I had to try it. Luckily Lovehoney sent me a bottle of their Almost Naked lubricant. When using lubricants I prefer to use ones that are vegetarian, organic, body friendly, and ethical. Good Clean Love ticked all the right boxes; it is 100% vegan, body safe and recommended by medical professionals, safe for all toys including silicone and latex, doesn’t contain parabens, 95% organic and contains no chemicals. Good Clean Love’s motto is ‘chemistry without chemicals’. I was already impressed by this lubricant and company before even testing the product.

Some of you may be wondering how a lubricant can’t be vegetarian, vegan, or cruelty free. Well, a lot of lubricants contain propylene glycol; this can contain animal derivatives, as well as being harmful to aquatic life forms. Surprisingly propylene glycol isn’t overly harmful to humans, but if you are trying to live the vegan lifestyle you should probably avoid lubricants containing this particular ingredient.  Good Clean Love avoids using propylene glycol, and guarantees that their lubricant is vegan friendly, and cruelty free.

 

 

Good Clean Love’s Almost Naked lubricant comes in a wasabi green coloured tube. On the front there is the brand name printed in white, and underneath this is a small box stating the particular type of lubricant. In the box you will find the abbreviation for ‘Almost Naked’, which is ‘An’. The way Good Clean Love have designed this reminded me of the symbols on the periodic table.  On the back Good Clean Love claim they provide the freshest, sweetest and most healing lubricant available. I can confirm that this lubricant does seem to have some healing properties, as I recently accidently scalded myself and decided to apply some of this lubricant to the burn area. It helped relieve itching and smoothed away the pain. The tube is sealed, so you will need to unscrew the cap to remove the seal before use. The lubricant spat at me as I removed the seal, so be prepared. Upon removing the seal, the aroma of the lubricant is instantly apparent. It reminds me of the smell of incense with a hint of mint. It smells rather natural and earthy. The lubricant is more of a gel than a liquid. It’s much thicker than most vaginal lubricants I’ve used, and the consistency reminds me of KY Jelly. The lubricant does have a slightly sweet taste to it, and it feels mildly gritty when your tongue rolls over areas where it has been applied. 

Photo trying to show the consistency of the lubricant.

When using the lubricant I first applied a small test patch to my leg. The lubricant didn’t cause me to have an allergic reaction and was gently absorbed by my skin. I was amazed with how soft my skin felt after this lubricant had been absorbed into it. The lubricant wasn’t overly slippery, but also wasn’t sticky or tacky feeling. The lubricant is rather thick, which is probably due to the aloe and agar used within it. When using the lubricant for vaginal masturbation I found that only a little was needed. The lubricant didn’t seem to blend too well with my natural moisture, but still blended better than when using KY Jelly. The lubricant is easily reactivated by applying saliva or water, but I did find it dried out quicker than other lubricants. Unlike some lubricants, when this one is applied it adjusts to your body temperature very quickly. I also found that even though it is thicker than some I’ve used, it doesn’t block any sensations provided from stimulation. I’ve had some thick lubricants completely ruin the experience, as they are too thick and act as a barrier. I decided to try this lubricant out anally as well, and found I got on with it much better anally than I did vaginally. The lubricant was easy to apply to anal toys and stayed in place prior to insertion, unlike some lubricants that end up dripping all over the place. The tube is very easy to use, meaning that you are unlikely to apply too much. You only need a small amount of this lubricant; I didn’t need to use much of this lubricant for either anal or vaginal use. I found that when too much was applied my body was unable to absorb it all, and there was a tacky layer left on the skin, but I really did go overboard and it hasn’t left any tacky residue on my skin when I’ve applied it sensibly.

Overall, I still like this lubricant even though it didn’t mix so well with my natural lubrication. I will be using it more as an anal lubricant rather than vaginal. I think this is a perfect lubricant for those who are looking for an ethical, vegan, and body friendly lubricant. This lubricant is also safe to use during pregnancy. I really like its healthy aroma, and it does make me feel as if I am experiencing something that’s very good, clean and loving towards my body.

Ingredients: Deionised Water, Xanthan Gum, Agar, Organic Aloe Barbendensis Leaf Juice, Natural Extractives of Lemon and Vanilla Bean, Potassium Sorbate, Benzoic Acid.

You can purchase the Almost Naked Lubricant by Good Clean Love, from Lovehoney.

La Petite Lecon Ruler Paddle

The La Petite Lecon is a paddle in the style of a wooden ruler.  It is the perfect accessory for those wishing to play out a teacher and pupil role play scenario. Rulers also have a general stereotype as a common Victorian punishment device. This ruler is perfect for dominants whose submissives make mistakes often and need correction, where this ruler will teach them a little lesson and provide a forceful reminder.

The ruler arrives in a velvet sheath, with ‘Maison Close’ embossed on the bottom of the pouch. The sheath has a strip of fabric to hold the opening closed when not in use, but this piece of fabric is glued on rather than sewn, and mine quickly fell off the sheath. You can easily stitch the fabric strip back onto the sheath. Removing the ruler from its sheath is very satisfying; the ruler makes a swish noise as it’s drawn, which makes your sub anticipate their punishment even more.  The ruler is made from black varnished wood; the wood is stronger than a standard stationery ruler and doesn’t bend. At one end of the ruler there is a hole with a gold tassel looped through it. The ruler is 41 cm in length and 3.5 cm in width. It has measurements ranging from 1cm - 40cm printed in gold - these measurements are accurate, so if you have misplaced your actual ruler remember that this can be a good substitute. On the ruler you will find the phrase ‘La Petite Lecon’ printed in gold. This is French for ‘Little Lesson’. On the reverse side of the ruler you will find ‘Maison Close’ printed in gold. This ruler is very chic, and has an antique feel to it. Some of the gold print on the ruler is slightly faded, but I feel this makes the ruler seem more authentic as a role play prop. 

Using the ruler is easy, and holding it makes you feel intellectually superior.  Even though the device doesn’t have a handle it’s still very easy to form a firm grip on it.  When using the paddle you can either focus the tip of the toy to a precise area of flesh, leading to a sharp stinging sensation, or you can whack the full length of it over a wider area of flesh, causing less pain but making an impressive impact noise. The tassel on the end of the toy can be tickled over the spanked areas, easing the pain and varying the sensations, and therefore confusing your submissive, leading to more enjoyable sensations for them, as they are unsure what to expect next. The La Petite Lecon doesn’t seem to cause too much pain compared to a crop or similar device, although my partner claims otherwise. I find it provides more of a stinging sensation that can be varied from light tingles on the flesh, to full bodied, warm throbbing pulses. As yet, it has left no bruising.

The La Petite Lecon is great for providing little lessons that produce profound erudition. Overall, I’m happy with the La Petite Lecon ruler paddle. For the price, it’s a beautiful flagellation device that all mistresses, masters, or just general role play fanatics should own.

Thank you to La Coquette for sending me La Petite Lecon Ruler to review.

Tantus Adam 02 Dildo

I’ve wanted to purchase the Tantus Adam 02 for a while, but every time I’ve had the money for this toy it has been out of stock. Luckily this month Adam was in stock at Lovehoney, with the added bonus of 10% off its original price. Adam is my first silicone toy by Tantus, and I had high expectations for the quality of Tantus’s silicone. The silicone Tantus uses to make their toys is meant to be some of the best quality silicone available. I chose Adam as my first toy from their range, as I liked the way it appeared realistic but not intimidating. Also I wanted to try a toy with a wider than average curved shaft, and see how different it felt to similar width toys I owned, that had a straight shaft. 

The Tantus Adam arrives in a clear plastic box. The box is fairly large, and I feel it could have been made more compact. On the box it states that this toy is made from ultra-premium platinum silicone; that means it’s non-toxic, hypoallergenic, odourless, tasteless and phthalate free. Amusingly the box states that the dildo is waterproof - I’m yet to find a non-vibrating dildo that isn’t waterproof.  The toy is resting in a plastic insert that is easily pulled out of the box. The toy is approximately 8 inches in length when straightened out, and there are approximately 7 inches of insertable shaft. The base of the toy is slightly flared, and is 8.5 inches in circumference. The bottom of the insertable shaft is 5.25 inches in circumference, and is meant to be harness compatible with a 1.75 inches diameter O-ring. The base has a slight suction to it. The main shaft is approximately 5 inches in girth, and the widest point of the head is approximately 5.25 inches in circumference. The toy is in a phallic shape, and has vein-like ridges running along its shaft; these ridges look less realistic than on some toys. The vein-like ridges are slightly squishy, and move around a little. The tip of the toy is bulbous and resembles the glans on a penis, and in the centre of the toy there is a small dip resembling the urethral orifice. There is a ridge positioned below the glans that resembles the fraenulum; this is fairly soft and can be pinched and wiggled around. The head of the toy has a gloss coating, making insertion easier. The main shaft and base of the toy are made with a matte style finish, and feel velvety to touch. The main shaft causes a small amount of friction when rubbed against dry skin. The toy is made with a firm yet flexible core, that has a soft silicone layer applied over it, which moves around similar to skin when played with. It makes a slight rustling noise as the outer skin rubs over the inner core.  The material doesn’t feel overly realistic, but it does feel closer than some dildos. Adding a dusting of cornflower starch or renewal powder will make the toy feel more realistic and smooth, causing less friction when rubbed against your skin. Even though this toy is a realistic style dildo, the length and girth of this toy are above average. The toy has a fair amount of weight to it compared to similar proportioned silicone toys. There seems to be two mould lines on the surface of my toy, but they are hardly noticeable to the touch, and only show up as a darkened cream colour in direct light. The toy is in a cream colour, and doesn’t have any form of realistic blemish markings. I actually think this is a very nicely formed dildo, and that Tantus did an excellent job in creating Adam.

When using Adam I would recommend applying additional lubrication prior to insertion.

Adam should only be used with water based lubricant, lubricants that have a blend of silicone can react with the toy leading to damage. Adam has slightly more girth than some toys, which may mean that you will need a fair amount of foreplay before inserting the toy.  The matte silicone does seem to absorb lubrication, so make sure you apply it liberally. When using Adam I made sure my body was relaxed and well lubricated. I slowly started to insert Adam into my vaginal opening; the head slowly and gently slipped inside. Only the head of the dildo had actually made its way into my vaginal canal, and I wasn’t experiencing any form of stimulation. I had almost given up hope on this toy. The girth didn’t seem challenging to me, but the problem was in the curve. I do have toys just as wide as, and even wider than Adam, but they all have straight shafts. I waited a bit while the head nestled between my vaginal walls. I decided to clench my pelvic floor muscles round the head of the toy in the hope of drawing it deeper into me. After a few minutes Adam gently slipped further inside, and had a reasonable amount of playable shaft. There was now enough of the shaft inside me to benefit from using the toy in a thrusting motion. The bulbous head of the toy flicked back and forth over my g-spot. It still wasn’t in the correct position to produce a strong orgasm, but the stimulation it was providing felt amazing, and different to any silicone toy I’ve used before. As well as enjoying the stimulation from the head, I could actually feel the two layers of silicone rub against each other, and this provided an interesting massage to my vaginal entrance. After a few more minutes the toy curved further up into my vaginal canal and was now directly stimulating the g-spot. Once it had reached its destination, it didn’t take long to produce a g-spot orgasm. This toy really does produce interesting sensations with its flexible skin, meaning that I didn’t mind waiting for the final climax. The orgasm it eventually provided was very satisfying and rather intense.

My only qualm with the Adam dildo is its flared base. I see the advantages of it during anal and strap-on play, but it just feels rather uncomfortable to hold when using the toy in a thrusting motion.

This toy is very easy to clean. You can use your standard antibacterial cleaner, boil it, sterilise it, or even place it in your dishwasher. Because this toy is very easy to clean, it means it would be great for anal play. You also don’t have to worry about it travelling completely into the anal canal, due to the flared base. Adam does attract dust easily unless it has been pre-dusted with renewal powder or cornstarch, and because of this I would recommend keeping Adam in its plastic packaging box.

Overall, I feel that even though I got off to a slow start with Adam, this toy is a keeper and does produce a great orgasm when you finally get there. I really do enjoy the double layer silicone, and even though I’m worried about ripping the silicone by mistake, I strongly feel that this is unlikely to happen. Adam is a great premium silicone toy.
