Review of the Cal Exotics Diamond Massager

The Diamond Massager is a cute and small vibrator used for external stimulation or shallow penetration. It’s quite powerful, and gives the impression of being a giant bullet, with the IMG_1382advantage of being able to apply that power in more than a tiny area.

The shape, especially the narrow parts, makes holding the toy comfortable, and it’s something that I really like with toys, not feeling cramped in trying to use a toy. The widest part is slightly over an inch in diameter, so it’s definitely not large if it’s going to be used for minimal penetration.

The toy is made of PU-coated plastic, which gives a nice velvety feel, and the crystals are made of glass. If you want to know more about plastic and care, click here.

The Diamond Massager is also waterproof, as long as it’s not taken for a deep swim (think pressure). Especially since this toy does not float, it should not be left at the bottom of the water. I left mine a few seconds at the bottom of the sink for a few seconds, and no water got into it, but I would not leave it soaking in the bath for minutes.

There are two arrows printed on the sides of the battery cap showing where the arrows have to be aligned in order to open it, but their usefulness is more than that. You need to align the arrows to close it or somehow the cap won’t be in that specific position to correctly make the contact with the batteries. If I were to close it the other way, I’d have to change the polarity of the two AAA batteries, which are not included.

There are three vibration patterns, one that is constant, the next one is a quick constant pulsing,IMG_1384 and the last one is also like a series of pulses but slightly more pronounced, and where every fifth pulse is longer and followed by a tiny pause. Depending on how long you keep the toy turned on, your fingers may feel a little numbed after a while, but I managed to reach a second orgasm before it occurred.

The shape and design of the toy could make it a great first toy, as long as the power is taken into consideration. It’s not everyone that can handle that power when first introduced to toys. For others, it’s the best bullet you may have.

Note that it’s also part of a Bound by Diamonds collection that includes lingerie, other vibrators, bondage items, harnesses and other fetish accessories. So if you really dig the look of this toy, you really should check out their other products.

I would like to thank Cal Exotics for giving me this toy for review, and you can get it at this sex toy store I trust.

Review of the Eroscillator 2 Top Deluxe

When you get the Eroscillator 2 Top Deluxe, every part is wrapped or sealed in plastic (especially 100_1948 the handle), which also affect the type of refunds you can get. It comes in a cardboard box, but once the items have been unwrapped, it becomes hard to put it all back in there, so be ready to spare some other space for it. With no attachment the Eroscillator is 8” long, and is 2” wide at the base. The adapter comes with a full 13’ of cord and you shouldn’t worry about the distance between an outlet and your bed (I hope). And then, there are the five attachments that will be described below.

The Handle
The handle is surprisingly comfortable in any position and you shouldn’t have to stretch a muscle from holding it for a little while. The spirals along the 1 ½” handle of the toy help give a better grip when it comes to changing intensities, which can be done be slipping a panel on the side of the toy. The Eroscillator itself is made of plastic, as well as the necks of the attachments, and youIMG_1276 can give it a more thorough wash by removing the cap and the slider. The handle can be washed under running water and is waterproof, but the Eroscillator should not be used where there is water for the electrical parts. 

It has three settings, one low that already feels strong, and two more that feel stronger and the last is even stronger. As for the noise level, it is low pitched and feels was amazingly low in volume for the power given, maybe slightly more than a vibrating cellphone. On the lowest setting, you can barely hear it. The toy will be louder if there is no attachment or if no pressure (minimal) is applied on the attachment.

The Attachments
The rest of the attachments are made of a flexible silicone-coated TPR, which is a hypoallergenic material that contains no latex, PVC or phthalates, but it is not completely non-porous (so consider a condom is you want to try an attachment anally). You will be able to clean them with Attachments warm water and soap, and if you must use lubricant, stay with water-based. Most attachments are roughly 3” in length and make it possible to easily access the clitoris during penetrative sex. The five attachments included are (from left to right on the picture):

1. The French Legionnaire’s Moustache
This one is definitely the oddest and at first I really believed it would hurt. For this reason, it was the very last attachment I tried and after removing the plastic protector, I realized that the nylon bristles were quite soft and they could be used to tease and tickle. The instructions say that it could be used internally as well, but I’d rather not – I would not want stuff to get in the roots of the bristles. I’m thinking that it might be an attachment that would feel good on the scrotum and the shaft of the penis.

2. The Golden Spoon
The hollow of the golden spoon is nice if you do not like direct stimulation on the clitoris, but I preferred the back that would cover the entire clitoral area. It is actually the attachment that I liked best.

3. The Cup & Ball
The Cup could also be used for even more indirect contact with the clitoris and for nipple stimulation. The Ball is similar to the back of the Spoon, but has a smaller surface to play with. The Cup & Ball could be interchanged with the Golden Spoon and the differences would be minor ones as they’re very similar when oscillating.

4. The Seven Pearls of the Orient
The Pearls are meant for internal stimulation (vaginal or anal), but I also liked to place it along my clitoris and put the smaller bead at the entrance of the vagina. For this one in particular, use a condom for anal play unless you never intend to stimulate other areas.

5. The Grapes and Cockscomb
This side I prefer is the Grapes as you can use on the clitoris and internally to reach the g-spot, and with the power it comes with, you should be able to be very stimulated as well. The Cockscomb is just odd, and I didn’t find any particular use I preferred. The instructions mention labia stimulation, but I wasn’t impressed.

Other Accessories
IMG_1263 As you can see on the picture, there is a plastic bag or pouch included for storage, but it’s cheap and makes me go “meh”. It does not even close and even if you put the bag in a drawer, it might fall on the side and the pieces could slide out. I recommend using a satin wine bag if you can get your hands on one, you can often buy those during Christmas time and they serve as oversized drawstring bags.

As for the DVD, it contains customer opinions and a sort of endorsement interview with Dr. Ruth. The whole thing lasts about 10 minutes and acts as an advertisement for the product as it keeps on promoting its virtues and its advantages on a couple’s sex life (that part could apply to any sex toy though). They probably considered that a number of people, men and women, who receive this product as a gift and are unfamiliar or reticent to using sex toys, might need positive arguments in order for them to keep the Eroscillator.

The DVD, the bag and the burgundy box were contained in a larger plain cardboard 100_1945 box that protected everything well during shipping, but I didn’t think it would be useful to take a picture.

My Opinion
The toy is amazing, as I was able to reach 5 orgasms in a single session without feeling numb, and the only reason I didn’t continue is that I was myself tired – I knew the toy would keep on giving me orgasms easily. This toy will get you there, and if it does not, there is a 30-day return policy (not a complete refund though) with the maker.

However, as I will be using some attachment parts less frequently than others, I think that the  Eroscillator should better be sold alone with a basic attachment, like the Golden Spoon, so that anyone could buy all the attachments that they want when they want. Having more options would make the initial price a lot more affordable, because a starting price of $139, and higher depending on the kit, is too much for a lot of people. But then, it is good to note that the Eroscillator 2 Top Deluxe is more powerful than the Eroscillator 2 Plus (by 35% I heard), and is the “cheapest” available kit to get that extra power, so it’s hard to say what’s the value of the extra power in relation to the attachments.

If you are interested in an Eroscillator, make sure to check out the Ultra Soft Finger Tip attachment, because it looks very interesting.

Review of the Cal Exotics Playful Curve

I received the 9-Function Playful Curve for review by Cal Exotics, and once again, I have really eIMG_1186njoyed their new toy. It is a waterproof toy that has 9 vibrations settings, from constant vibrations to some unusual vibration patterns (also hard to describe).

It is a slender plastic vibrator that has very pleasant vibrations patterns. The widest point, at the rounded part of the shaft, is 1 ¼” wide, and makes this toy suitable for pretty much everyone with that size. The only part to take in consideration is the sheer power of this toy. It is quite seriously powerful, especially since it is only uses 2 AAA batteries (not included), and if you tend to associate the number and size of batteries to estimate the power of a toy, you will be surprised with this one.

The plastic used for this vibrator is ABS plastic with a PU coating, and the cap is made of ABS only. If you want more information about this material and how to care for it, you can click here . The fact that it is made of plastic make the vibrations travel very well through the tip of the toy, and it is every difficult to guess exactly where the motor is location, but I guess it is in the rounded part due to size.

The tip is also curved to reach the g-spot I suppose, but it didn’t seem to work for me. I tried poking a little here and there, but with the high vibrations, it was hard to pinpoint anything. Instead, I found that I preferred using this toy externally, with the tip at the entrance of myIMG_1188 vagina while the rounded shaft would be resting against my clit. This position was quite stimulating, and made the button clicking easy.

When it comes to performance, it does the job very well, and it even felt too strong at times. All the vibrations beyond the second settings felt at least high, if it can give you an idea of how strong this is.

The vibration settings are:
1. Medium constant vibration.
2. High constant vibration.
3. Very high constant vibration.
4. Quick succession of 4 pulses.
5. Two one-second long pulses, then a long two-second pulse.
6. Series of varying pulses and a longer pulse at the end.
7. Two-second pulses
8. Quick throbbing pulses and a longer one at the end.
9. Stuttering and slightly escalating pulses.

However, with power comes noise, which is not always something we like, but unless a completely silent toy is invented, we have to deal with this. The noise is loud, much louder than the vibrations of a cellphone, and can easily be heard through a closed door even with some relaxing background music.

The vibrator is also waterproof, and I washed it under running water, and I didn’t see any water get in, so it would definitely be safe in a shower. It is not very difficult to give the cap a slight twist to get it open, and as such, I would not be too comfortable with playing too much in water, IMG_1187 as I’d worry more about the cap opening than having some water leak into it.

I think the only drawback this toy has is that it does not have an instant off button, and that you have to cycle though the patterns to turn it off. Also if you go too fast in clicking on the button, you may skip the “Off” setting and go through a completely new cycle before being able to turn it off.

So all in all, the Playful Curve is more than just playful, it’s a real player. So if you are not ready for very strong vibrations, you might need to wait before getting this one. Otherwise, it has some very good vibration patterns that are hard to come by.

Review of the Cal Exotics Mini Scoop

I received the Mini Scoop for review from Cal Exotics, and I’m not sure it’s a toy that really works with me considering that I like direct stimulation, but I managed to find a few things that I like about it. The scoop is there if you want to tease or have indirect stimulation for the clitoris, which is why I’m biased when it comes to appreciating it to its true value.

This toy is really designed for sensitive women, and if the tiniest pressure is applied on the clitoral area, the sides of the scoop dig into the skin and are IMG_1167not comfortable. Without pressure, the toy is quite teasing, as I said before, and with how my body is, I could hold it in place between my outer labia at the lower settings, which was what I liked best about it (experience may vary). At least the back of the scoop is round and could be used like a regular bullet, but even then, that idea didn’t come right away.

This tiny vibrator is made of hard plastic with silver and gold plating, and if you want to know about the material and how to care for it click here. Unlike most bullets out there, this one is a little bit larger, being about 3 ½” long and the scoop is ¾” wide. Some sections of the toy are connected with some type of softer plastic, like the head and the base part, but it also allows the vibe to be waterproof.

The Mini Scoop is turned on by turning clockwise a flat dial cap at the very base, which also allows the toy to be placed upright on a flat surface. As for power, the lowest setting is quite low, and the highest setting is very much like a regular bullet and seems to have the same buzzing tone and level. It also works with a N1 battery, which is included with the toy. The battery has to be placed with the negative side inward, or you’ll only get a single vibration intensity.

So all in all, it is essentially a pimped bullet, with an original shape and various vibration intensities. The only negative point I can tell about this tiny vibrator is that it is not particular pleasing to look at with all the different connected sections. But with a low suggested retail price of about $12, I can understand that the design might be minimal. It is now available at this sex toy store I trust.

Review of the Couture Collection Bliss

There was a new addition in the Couture Collection by Cal Exotics, and it is Bliss. I had the chance to try the Amante (review), and I was looking forward to this one as well. So the Couture Collection Bliss is a wireless egg vibrator that is rechargeable. Since plastic transmits vibrations really well, the Bliss feels really good and better than Amante. I wanted to say what type of rechargeable battery is in the egg, but I can’t find that information anywhere.

The egg is medium-sized and has the general shape of an IMG_0811egg, with a tip slightly more tapered than the other. With a length of 2.5” and a diameter of 1.5”, it’s large enough that I didn’t have any problem keeping this egg inside without conscious effort, but I’m sure that a minimum of strength in your pelvic muscles is required. The egg is completely waterproof, but the remote isn’t. Pretty much everything, the charging base and the egg, is made of ABS plastic covered with a PU coating for a velvety feel, except for the retrieval cord that is made of nylon. If you want to have more info on the characteristics and taking care of a plastic toy, click here. Since this toy cannot be sanitized, I do not recommend sharing unless you cover it completely with a condom, and since it is a vaginal egg, do not use it anally.

The charging base is shaped like a heart and while I thought it was cute, a male friend of mine thought it was a little ‘kitsch’. I guess you can’t please everyone. There is no apparent point of contact that you have to watch out for when you put the egg in the charger. I’ve turned it around, it is made of plastic everywhere, and the light would still show it as charging, which is really cool since there are rechargeable toys that are a little fickle when it comes to having a good point of contact for charging. One thing that is interesting to note is that the model I got came with a AC adapter made for European outlets and came with an American adapter. On the picture of the product, it’s an American plug, and I wonder if was the model available when giving out products for testing, but if you get an European model, try not to lose the adapter.

Another thing that I like with the Bliss is the LED indicators that are on the charging base and the egg itself. The light on the base and the egg are red during charging, and there is no chance to accidentally turn on the vibrator during that process. When the charging is over, after roughly 2 hours, the light on the IMG_0813egg turns green. When it is turned on or ready to be used, the light is intermittently green. It is during that mode that the charge will be used for 1-2 days. With this toy, make sure to remove the remote’s 12V battery, which is included, when it is not in use, because for some reasons I’ve had some issues with the Bliss and the Amante if the battery had remained it in and my only solution was to replace it, even if the battery was apparently new.

The light on the egg is not just a light: it is also an On/Off button to make sure that you don’t accidentally leave it idle. To activate or disable the egg, you have to hold the button for 4 seconds. It says on the box that the egg can hold its charge for 1-2 days while it is in stand-by, which I also call idle. If the toy is completely turned off, the charge will remain in the toy for a while. For instance, after a week, it could still run for more than 2 hours at the lowest setting.

The reception of the Bliss is really good, and I never had problems with the controls where it wasn’t responding from a really close range or larger range. Obviously, depending on where you are, you might have a better or worse reception because it’s wireless, but it can work up to 16’. The reception is excellent when it is not inserted and can even work at a larger range than guaranteed and slightly decreases when inserted. The vibrator is not completely silent and if you are in a very quiet place, people nearby will notice. The remote control, which is about 1.5” long, also has an On/Off button and one to go through the 7 vibration patterns, which are:

1. Constant low.
2. Constant medium.
3. Constant high.
4. Quick escalating pulses from low to high.
5. High pulses.
6. Slightly quicker high pulses
7. Three high pulses, like #5, followed by a long two-second pulse.

The retrieval cord is probably the only thing that I do not like about the egg. I’ve had other items with a nylon cord, like the Lelo Luna Beads, but somehow the cord on the beads seemed to dry much quicker and be less predisposed of holding moisture than the Bliss’. Moreover, there are two points where you have to focus more when washing it: The point of origin of the retrieval cord, because it can be moved sideways and you can see some space where it can get dirty; then, around the On/Off button, because there is also an interstice that goes at least ¼” deep around the button. As a result, I decided to use a condom over the whole toy just to make sure that the cord would stay perfectly clean. It’s optional, and if you wash it carefully and make sure that the toy is completely dry before storage, you should be fine.

I also noticed when trying to compare the vibration levels and patterns of the Amante and the IMG_0809Bliss that the two toys work on the same radio frequency 433 MHz. I was not able to change the pattern with the other one’s remote, but I was not able to have them both work at the same time. I had turned on the Bliss first, and turned on the Amante, but I was not able to change the patterns on the Amante. I know that very few people will not have those toys at home, but if you do, just take it in consideration that some interference may occur. I didn’t test thoroughly the issue, so the results may vary. Or it could have been the battery issue at play again, but I’d have to buy a new one again to make sure. I’ll look that up for my follow-up review.

You can also get the Bliss at this sex toy store I trust.

Review of the Cal Exotics Nooner

The Shane’s World Sorority Party Vibes include the Nooner, a small-size vibrator whose name seems to focus on its portability. IMG_0963The Nooner is a short traditional vibrator that can be easily inserted in a purse, even a small one, which I am pretty sure that was the intended purpose for this toy. Since it is made of ABS plastic, it is easy to care for outside the home. It is also coated with PU, which also gives it a nice velvet-coating. While I can appreciate a smooth toy once in a while, I do like them better with the little drag that comes from the coating. You can read about the characteristics and the care of an ABS plastic toy here.

So how small is the Nooner? While it has the regular one-inch diameter and the tapered tip, it is only 6 inches long, where 4 ½” of that are insertable, and it is turned on by rotating the purple cap clockwise. To turn it off, you need to twist the cap counter-clockwise. The purple cap also has indents to make it easier to turn, but it is not coated with PU, and can still be very slippery when wet. It is powered by a single AA battery (not included), and the battery cap is opened by twisting at the level of the section with the metallic plating. The battery cap has a very thick ring to seal the toy from water, as long as the cap is twisted tightly.

The vibration intensities are gradual and range from a low throbbing to the high intensity of a bullet. The noise coming from this toy is particularly high-pitched, probably from the fact that it is made of plastic, and the highest level in volume is also very similar to that of a bullet. So if you are in a quiet house, it would probably be heard through a door, which also makes that toy lessNooner Vibrator conspicuous when it comes to bringing it to public places. But then, if it is a party vibe, you can be sure that there will be music loud enough to cover the sound level of the vibrator and the user as well.

I have tested the waterproof quality of the Nooner by completely submerging it. It did not float, and I did not see any bubbles coming up, and when I took it out of the water, no water had leaked inside. However, water did penetrate the toy somehow through the turning cap from where you control the vibration setting, and it can take several hours for it to dry completely. If you wipe the toy with a towel and put it aside, you will not notice that the toy is still wet until you turn the purple cap.

I’d say that the Nooner makes a great first toy, because the size is non-intimidating and it is quite easy to use. Even if the cap can hold on water for a little while, it never got into the toy from the top, and the battery was safe. It is a good waterproof toy, and it is always convenient to have one for bathroom fun.

I would like to thank Cal Exotics for sending me this toy for review.

Review of the Cal Exotics Nipplettes

The Nipplettes, by California Exotics, is a set of plastic vibrating nipple clamps that are not made to give you any pain. They are said to be wireless, adjustable and waterproof. Cal Exotics Nipplettes

The Nipplettes are made of phthalate-free ABS plastic coated with rubber, and it feels as velvety as if it was coated with PU. You can read about ABS plastic here, but since this is coated with rubber, you must not put this toy in contact with an oil-based lubricant or massage oil. It is also latex-free and hypoallergenic.

The wireless part makes me smile because it works with a push button and it is by default wireless. They function very much like a standard vibrating bullet, except that it has been modified to include a clamp. The clamps are not particularly small or inconspicuous, and are not something that I would use underneath my clothes. They are barely shorter than 3” long and about 1 ½” wide when closed.

As for the part where they are adjustable, well after using them, I seriously question the point of adding black screws to loosen the distance between the tips of the clamps. The thing is that I have nipples of about the diameter of a watch battery and they are very sensitive; they have a very low tolerance to pain and can only endure normal pinching between fingers. That said, the clamps were fine and applied about the same pressure as I do with my own fingers, and can only be adjusted to exert even less pressure. So, in other words, this is a pain-free vibrating set of nippleCal Exotics Nipplettes Clamp clamps and if you want to experience pain, you better look somewhere else.

Personally, I really liked that aspect of the clamps, because I wanted to try something that would only feel good. I had tried non-piercing nipple jewelry before and I was not able to stand it more than a second because the pinpoint pressure was too painful. At least with the Nipplettes, the contact surface is flattened and it spreads the pressure area. The single-speed vibration intensity of the clamps is strong, and very similar as when I would apply a bullet directly to my nipples, but at least it’s hand-free with the Nipplettes and I can do other things. The noise level of the clamps is not as high-pitched as a bullet, but it could still be heard as a slight humming through a closed door if the house was quiet.

And finally, even if the clamps are waterproof, make sure that you dry them carefully after use, because the clamps work with a recoiled metal and it looks like it could easily rust. I’m not even going to bother going in the shower with this, but I did test the waterproof seam and as long as the cap is twisted tightly, no water should get in it. I tested it under running water for a little while and nothing got inside.

IMG_0668Each clamp also works with 3 watch batteries. One of the things I liked with this product is that it came with 12 watch batteries, even if the package mentions only 6 batteries. Not only can you immediately use the product, but you already have your back up batteries. That’s awesome. The package also says that the batteries can contain Hg, Cd or Pb, being mercury, cadmium and lead, and must not be disposed in the trash. There is also a warning saying that it should not be used over swollen or inflamed areas or skin eruptions, or on unexplained calf pain (thrombosis).

All in all, I really liked the Nipplettes, because they were very gentle on my nipples and that their vibration was turning me on. I would not get a nipple orgasm from this, but it sure boosts the overall stimulation. I eventually removed the screws, but they don’t really get in the way even if you let them on. You can also get the Nipplettes at this sex toy store.

Review of the Couture Collection Amante

I was given the Couture Collection Amante to review by Cal Exotics, and I was really excited about this product. The concept of a wireless remote control egg had always interested me, and it is the first remote controlled toy that I had the chance to try. Since I am single, I required the help of very cooperative volunteers, which I shall not name, for the benefit of this review.  

IMG_0469The egg of the Couture Collection Amante is made of premium Japanese medical grade silicone, and is 2 ½” long with a diameter of 1 ¼”. The firm surface is firm and matte, which helps keeping the toy inside if lubrication is kept to a minimum for insertion. The flexible retrieval cord of 3” is hardly noticeable during any activity. The ergonomic remote is 3” long and made of smooth PC plastic. It has two buttons, one for automatically turning the toy on and off, and another to go through the seven vibration patterns. When the remote is activated, the feather touch buttons are lighted with a blue light and is meant to work up to 16 ft, or 5 m.

The battery cap requires some effort to be opened and closed, because the toy is sealed by the cap being held firmly against the silicone coating around the edge, which makes up the waterproof seal. To open, you have to push down and drag the cap away from the cord. There is an indented seam, which cannot be felt at all, around the battery cap. From the pictures and the description, I had expected the white line to be completely flush with the rest of the toy, but as it turns out, the Couture Collection Amante Battery Capwhile line is part of the plastic internal casing. Even if I like the  stylish white line around the cap, I would have preferred the seam to be filled with silicone, ideally white to preserve the chic style.

When it is working, the toy is particularly silent. Only the highest vibration level could be heard if the toy is inserted and if, and only if the room is extremely quiet. I even demonstrated this egg at work, by showing the vibration through a leather purse, and nothing could be heard through the background noise. When it is not inserted, the noise level of the highest setting is similar to that of a bullet, and still cannot be heard through a door. The vibration patterns are:

  1. Constant low.
  2. Constant medium.
  3. Constant high.
  4. Quick escalating pulses from low to high.
  5. High pulses.
  6. Slightly quicker high pulses
  7. Three high pulses, like #5, followed by a long two-second pulse.

At first I thought that the receptor could be at the very tip of the silicone string to maximize the reception, and after testing it, it does not seem to be the case. After testing it, I do believe that the working distance of 16 feet is for when it is not inserted, which makes sense, but it may disappoint some people if they expected it to be the inserted working distance. To be honest, I was a little disappointed by this, and I would have loved Cal Exotics to come up with a way to make that work while still keeping that part flexible. But then, I really have no clue how complicated it Couture Collection Amante Remotewould be to achieve that. When the egg is not inserted, the reception is really excellent and it can be activated and controlled from a room away, even through a normal wall as long as it is within the working range. So if you want to play with it for external stimulation, you’ll never have any issue with having it work well.

When it comes to its inserted performance, it was tested at a party in a very remote location, and the reception was still impressive and could work up to about 9 ft, or 3 meters. The toy was tested again in a busy part of the city, and this time it would not work further than one or two feet away from me. My friend suggested that by being in the heart of the city, there could be some interference that may make it less receptive or functional. I’m not sure, but I tried again somewhere else in a residential neighborhood and the remote would work within inconsistent distances for up to 9 ft. Still, you can be sure that you’ll be served with fun if used from across a restaurant table or when you control it when your partner is going down on you.

The egg and the remote already come with included batteries, a 12V for the remote and 2N batteries for the egg. The battery for the remote died after a few days even if I had barely used it. But since I had gone to the party with the toy, I cannot remember exactly if I had taken the Couture Collection Amante Packagingbattery out to prevent the accidental activation of the remote. So I had to go to a special electronic store to get a new one. I decided to buy a set of N batteries just in case, and try the Amante with all new batteries. Buying new batteries for this toy is really not cheap, and the trip to the store cost me almost $20 in Canadian dollars. And at that price, I was really hoping that  the remote battery was really dead and not the remote itself. I was lucky and everything worked.

I personally like clitoral vibrations to get off, and this one had enough strength and variety for me to be satisfied. When used vaginally, I did not feel that it would ever be efficient for me to I was mostly teased in a very pleasant way, and this was why I felt comfortable enough to use it in public at a party. It is an interesting distraction and it requires focus and self-control not to show any reactions. The main drawback of the Amante is that it uses such expensive specialized batteries that are not easily available, but considering that it is small and powerful, I figure that I really should not be complaining.

I would like to thank Cal Exotics for this very cool product. The Couture Collection Amante will be available soon at this sex shop I trust.
