As promised in my first review I'll continue to
review toys. I guess it's quite important to prevent people from wasting money on crappy products and getting disappointed.
This time it's a vibrating toy... :)

Why I chose this toy/brand: As mentioned
in my first review I enjoy Anal play with my wife and also on my own
(For those who is new to that kind of activity - the reasons are:
multiple mind blowing orgasms and healthy prostate !!!). I
always wanted to get a vibrating toy to be able to "relax" properly
without having to fiddle around down there. I also like to change the toys
during the "session" so having a few ready is always good. :)
I was browsing
through several reviews but nothing was appealing enough. It was either the size
being to small/big; the vibrating functions quite limited (vibro bullet around
sphincter not reaching the prostate) ; and other issues which stopped me
from buying the toy.
The Butt Bandit has caught my attention with its shape,
range of functions (Vibrating, Surging, Escalating, Pulsating, Super Speed), the
position of the vibrating egg close to the tip and detachable cord. The only
concern was the Jelly material which sometimes causes allegic reaction, so those
having this problem should be using a condom with this toy.
First Experience: The package from
LoveHoney arrived quickly. All the packaging was discrete and safe as usual for
established adult shops. After a hard day at work and my wife being abroad I
decided to relief some stress and try out the new toy. Having my standard
procedure of few drinks, cleaning and a DVD from my big
collection I have started with a warm up gently stretching my sphincter with a
small vibrator. This time I went for the good old Vaseline as a lube choice
and in my opinion it's still the best lube around (Unfortunately it doesn't
really work with some of the toys). I went trough a good warm up session
and had no difficulties to insert this plug slowly (!!!) into my rectum. The
only let's say unusual thing was the rawly texture of the toy. (I used it later
with some water/silicone base lube and it wasn't very comfortable but Vaseline
compensates this quite good).
After it was in place I have connected the
remote control and started with the programs. There are five of them and I have
to say all of them have a lot of potential.
a. The
simple Vibration can be used to relax/warm up the sphincter to
prepare it for the things to come. I recommend to to leave it on vibration for
some time to get used to the sensations and ease the muscles.
b.
Surging goes quite well combined with a good breath
technique. (Vibration = Inhale, Stop = Exhale). Quite interesting sensations can
be developed using this technique.
c. Escalating is
providing a good stimulation of the sphincter hitting the prostate a bit. I have
to admit it's not my favourite and it's just good to switch on for a change of
stimulation type. Maybe for a couple of minutes and not
more.
d. Pulsating (short, short, long rhythm, break)
is an interesting program which gives one a good tingling on both the prostate
and the sphincter especially when breathing in rhythm with the pulsation. It
takes some exercise for those who are unskilled in breath techniques. But it's
worth it.
e. Super Speed well I guess when you leave
it on for too long it will make you pretty numb and cause the opposite effect of
the one you wanted to achieve.
To sum it up - I haven't reached any kind of
anal/prostate orgasm/ejaculation using the Butt Bandit but the second program -
"Surging" is defenetely my favourite. The toy is a great addition to any anal
lover. (I still haven't convinced my wife to try it). But it should stay an
addition just to spice it up. The detachable cord is a big plus making it easy
to go out with the Butt Bandit in. You can punch a hole in your pocket put
the wire through and play around once you see someone hot. I'm concidering
to take it to a meeting at work and just to make the infinite boredom more
exciting :) The vibration is silent enough to make it imperceptible for
others.
Special
Considerations: This toy is too big for the absolute beginner. The lube
to use is defenetely some sort of a greasy substance. Vaseline works the best
and it's till my favourite of all lubes available. I guess it will cause some
numbness and in worst case might cause irritation of the prostate if left
in for too long.
Care: I use the
Fairy Antibacterial dish washing liquid to clean
most of my toys. The toy isn't waterproof, so be careful with
water.
Conclusion:The toy
is not a beginners toy and should not be the only toy in your collection. The
sensations are intesnse especially when combining with a proper breath
technique. The price is a bit high but is good for the value you get with
this toy. A great way to spice up an "anal session".

P.S. I'd really appreciate a review from the female
point of view. |
