Alright, so I've been thinking about getting this dildo for months and finally decided to get it a couple weeks ago. I figured it would be a sexy sight for my hubby to watch me use it. Either that or use it while I suck him off. Ok...so I was "fantasizing" about it, not just "thinking" about it. I went ahead and got the mauve one. Fuschia just isn't my color. It's too pink. (Actually, the company that makes this toy does have a nice purple one, but Babeland only had fuschia and mauve and I didn't trust any of the other websites.) Even though I had been fantasizing about using it with my hubby, when I got it, that kind of faded. Yeah...I kind of lost my nerve. -.-; I'm not quite as confident as I should be with playing with myself in front of him. I mean, that's been a private part of my life for so long, so it's a little awkward to do it in front of him. I know he likes it, though. Anyway...

That being said, I'll just go in to the review with my own experience of it, instead of including my hubby's reaction. I'll update when I work myself up to doing that. ^_~

From my experience so far, I'd say it's an average size dildo. It's maybe a smidge bigger than another one I've got. It's 5-1/2" long x 1-1/4" diameter. If you're a size queen, this might not be big enough. My hubby is about a 2" diameter, I guess. So, of course it seemed a little skinny to me. It fills me up just as well, though. ^_~ So don't worry, size queens. If it fills me to where I can't tell much difference between him and it, I don't think you'll have a problem either.

I decided to sneak it into the shower with me and give it a go. After trying to stick it on the shower wall at the right height with little success, I decided to insert it and stick it to the wall while it was still in me. That worked pretty well. It took me a while to get anywhere with it. I'm a clit girl and it's hard for me to climax without stimulation there. What about the raised designs on the dildo? Well, I didn't really notice the little bump at the bottom. The bump on the top sort of bothered me a little. It rubbed me a bit in the wrong way. The little squiggles on the side felt good, though. It's nice to have a little something rub against your walls. One more thing, you can really see the seam line where the mold was put together. I kind of wish the company would have smoothed that down like some of my other toys. (I could always take one of our fancy knives and smooth it out, though.)

The suction cup grips well and I didn't really have any problems with it popping off (until I started messing around with it) . You know, when it's hanging there on the wall, you can kind of play with it and make it bounce around like a real penis would. ^_^ (I like to do that to my hubby when he's hard and asleep. Is it weird to like to watch his willy bounce? I swear I'm like a cat with a string sometimes.) Making it bounce around like that will eventually encourage it to pop off, though. This dildo is very easy to clean. It's made of pure silicone and can be washed with anti-bacterial soap and water or you can boil it for about 3 minutes. Babeland was nice enough to provide me with a pamphlet of tips and information on how to clean various types of materials. Be sure you DON'T use silicone-based lube on this toy! Silicone-based lube and silicone toys should never mix! They can actually melt your toys! You don't want to spend your hard-earned money and then end up with a pile of gunk just because you used the wrong lube. O.o Ew.

Packaging: No problems. Nicely designed cardboard box with a plastic insert to keep the dildo in place. Don't forget to recycle!

Pros: Suction cup works well, good average size, silicone and very body friendly, easy to clean, fun to play with. I really do like the design, too. If I position it just right, I can get it to hit my g-spot.

Cons: The little nubs bother me a bit. I do kind of still wish Babeland carried the purple one. Mauve is good enough, though. And it's nothing major, but that seam line sort of bugs me. So...I took out one of our fancy pancy knives and gave it a shave to smooth out the seam line and get rid of that top bump. Now it's a custom dildo. ^_^ I don't really think you'll need to worry about those things, though. I'm just kind of picky sometimes.

Summary: I definitely like this dildo. I'll just have to work up to using it around my hubby. From a scale of 1-5, I'll give the Ophoria No. 6 a rating of 5/5. It's a nice change to be somewhat hands free, except for my little bullet vibe for my clit. And I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun once I work up to using it around my hubby.

Since I've done the review of a TPR silicone toy and I'll be reviewing a TPR toy soon (the Babeland Nubby G), I wanted to get some information out about TPR and TPE. TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomers) and TPR (Thermo Plastic Rubbers) contain no plasticiser/ flexibiliser (that means no Phthalates). It is said to be 100% odorless, but I think it has a very slight odor to it. TPE and TPR are comparable to natural rubber (which is called caoutchouc ) and no phthalates have been used to make the product softer or more flexible. TPE and TPR are often used instead of latex. Why is that? Some people can have allergic reactions from having contact with latex products. You don't have to worry about that with these two materials.

Advantages

- No phthalates!
- Virtually odorless (Compared to latex rubber which smells like tires. Yuck!)
- Carries vibrations well
- Acid and Alcohol resistant
- Easy to clean
- Extremely environmentally friendly, 100% non poisonous raw material (Or so I'm told. If I'm wrong on anything please let me know! I know that I'm not perfect.)
-Usually cheaper than silicone toys and can be combined with silicone to make it cheaper

Disadvantages

-Is a little more porous than silicone and can harbor bacteria if not sterilized properly
-Can't be boiled to sterilize. (Only anti-bacterial soap and warm water.)

First of all, I got this from another website (which I can't remember the name of)and thought it was remote control, no wires. At least that's how they made it out to be with the picture and the description. You couldn't see the wire. Ditzy me. Oh well. Big plus as always for it being phthalate-free. It works just fine with water. The remote is easy to use (unless you’re my flustered hubby ^_~) and it’ll go up to 4 different speeds. It doesn’t come with batteries. You’ll have to get those yourself. It’s just two AA batteries. If you’re like me, you’ll probably have some lying around your home somewhere. We keep ours in the fridge. It actually makes them last longer.

Anyway, if you want to use it for clitoral stimulation, it’s too bulky. Well, for me it is. You've got a pretty chunky remote and a pudgy little egg to contend with. And there is no way you can just hide it in your panties and be nonchalant about it. You’ll have an unwanted bulge. I'm just mentioning this since I got it for my hubby to surprise buzz me when we're out. But the remote won't fit in my pocket, the egg makes my pants bulge, and it gets noisy. If you want to use it for vaginal use, you’re not going to get much either. At least, for me it’s not really doing much. I tried using a small, nubbed sleeve that I got a while ago on it. The funny thing is that the sleeve fits the egg perfectly but won’t fit the bullet that came with it in the kit. Sadly, putting the sleeve on didn’t really get me anywhere either.

Please pardon me if I’m going into too much detail, but I ended up using it anally. Be sure to put a condom on it so that you can have something to pull it out! You don’t want it getting stuck up there and have to pull on the wire. I doubt that that’s safe. I do have to say that it is nice for anal use. It’s a pretty good buzz and my husband can feel it when he’s in me.

Packaging: No problem. Just a little plastic package. Don’t forget to recycle!

Vibration Level: 4/5 It’s strong, but not earth-shattering. Just right.

Noise Level: 3/5 It can get noisy depending on what level you’ve got it on. Our walls are paper-thin, so you can hear it in the next room if the apartment is quiet.

Pros: It's phthalate-free. It works fine with water. Easy to clean.

Cons: It's somewhat bulky if you want to be discreet about using it. You can definitely see it under your pants and it gets loud.

Summary: I’d give it a 4/5. This little egg is versatile. Use it vaginally, anally, or for clitoral stimulation. It's a little bulky to me for clitoral stimulation, and it doesn't do much for me vaginally. It might be different for you, though. It works just fine for my hubby and I if I use it anally. So, I’m just taking a star away because it’s bulky and I don’t really use it for the areas it was probably designed for in the first place. It's a good vibe, just not what I was looking for.

It comes with either a blue remote or a red remote which you can choose from the EdenFantasys website.

This little guy was one of my first toys. If you're just getting into using vibrators, I'd suggest going with this one. It's small, discreet, and a lot of fun. There are four different ones to choose from. As you can tell, I went with the clear one. You can choose from a list here.

It's tpr silicone and safe for my body. No phthalates. That's a big plus in my book. I would’ve liked it to be pure silicone, but tpr isn't too bad of a material for silicone to be combined with. I'm not really that worried about it. To clean it, I usually just wash with warm water and anti-bacterial soap and swab the vibrator down with rubbing alcohol.

I love how small and quiet it is. If it's the middle of the night and I don't want to wake my hubby, this little vibrator is quiet enough for me to use it when I'm in bed right next to him. The nubby texture of it provides variety and helps carry the vibes. I love just rubbing the nubs around. They feel great! Also, when you get excited and your juices make things slippery, the nubs help you keep your grip on the toy. It's also works just fine in water. You don’t have to spend money on batteries! It comes with them! And if memory serves me correctly, it comes with a second set for when those run out. Don’t hold me to that, though. It’s been quite a while since I bought this.

Since it is quiet, you'll have to expect that the vibes aren't that powerful. (That's not to say you can't feel them, though.) There's only one speed. Also, this is not going to fill you up. It's about the size of my finger but a lot chubbier.

You'll mostly just use it for clit teasing and around your opening. But that's pretty much what it's intended for, so no complaining here.

Packaging:No problem. Just plastic packaging and some paper inside with a kind of watery look to it. (little bubbles and whatnot) Don't forget to recycle the packaging!

(Why am I talking about the packaging? Because I hate when toys have packaging with sluts on the front. I'm a small woman, 5'2" about 90lbs and barely filling a b cup. Those whores on the packaging make me feel horrible and I don't want my husband seeing those when I open up a toy package. >.< ) Pros: Quiet, discreet, very easy to clean and alot of fun. Cons: Not pure silicone, but things don't have to be pure silicone to be safe. No worries. Vibration Level: 2/5 You're not going to get really strong vibes from this, but it's enough to keep me happy. Noise Level: 1/5 You can barely even hear it under the sheets. I doubt my hubby would hear it even if he was awake. Summary: Overall, I'm really happy with this little vibe. It's very discreet and very good at it's job. 5 out of 5 stars. Girls, you really have to check out Power Buddies. There are four different ones to choose from. Those are a blue tickler (which has little nubs too), a pink bunny, the clear somewhat penis-shaped one with nubs that I love so dearly, and a red tongue. Go check them out! I'm sure you'll find one that you'll love. ^-^

While shopping for lubricants, I was very pleased to see that Wet International offers a more natural variation on their personal lubricants. Wet Naturals Beautifully Bare is pH balance just for us girls and contains no glycerin or parabens. For those of you who are allergic to either of those like I am, this is really nice. Aside from being hypo-allergenic, this personal lubricant also contains vitamins and antioxidants. I'm sure that the vitamins and antioxidants are good for your skin, but I would like a little more detail on exactly how they work. I'm just wondering if they put them in there to make the lube more enticing to those of us who are health conscious. Anyway, it is sugar-free. That means you don't have to worry so much about getting a yeast infection from this lube. Watch out for that in lubes, edible panties, body paint, etc. You don’t have to worry about it staining anything either.

So, how does it compare to other personal lubricants? It falls a little bit short, but I can deal with that. As long as it is glycerin and paraben free, I don’t really care if it dries up a little quicker than usual. In my opinion, it doesn’t really feel as slick as other Wet International products do. It seems a bit watery to me. You’ll probably need to reapply it, too. Although this doesn’t really bother me, I’m sure some of you might be a little pickier. Wet Naturals Beautifully Bare is good for use on your toys as well as yourself. If you just want something for yourself that is a little better, go with Wet Naturals Silky Supreme. It is silicone based, so it will probably last longer. Just don’t use it on silicone toys. Silicone lube can melt silicone toys. Or, if you want something flavored, Wet Naturals has a variety call Sensual Strawberry. I haven’t tried Silky Supreme or Sensual Strawberry, so I can’t really say anything about them. I’m thinking about trying them in the future, so stay tuned!

Pros:Glycerin and paraben-free. I know most of what is in it and I don't feel bad about using it.

Cons:It isn't as slippery as other lubes. It's a little watery too. You'll need to reapply it. It's good enough for me, though.

Summary:Overall, I'll give it 4/5 because I'm very health conscious. I appreciate that it doesn't have as many chemicals and that it is pH balanced just for my body. I'm just taking a star away because I think it's a bit runny and I would've liked it to be a little more slippery.

I have not tried all of the gels, only two of them. They came with a gift package that I bought from another website and ended up having to get rid of. It came with a vibrator who's sleeve was disgusting. It left a film and smelled bad. It was advertised as phthalate-free, but I had my doubts and threw it away. Since this review has nothing to do with the gift set, I won't go any further into it. You can get a whole set of gels at Edenfantasy.

The two Good Head Gels that were included in the package were mint and strawberry. Both had good flavor and were a decent first experience with gels of that type. My husband loved the tingle from the mint gel. The strawberry gel wasn't too bad. It was more or less just to make him taste good to me. It didn't really do anything for him.

A few tries had gone by, and each time I ended up sick to my stomach about 10 minutes later. A few more tries, and the same thing kept happening. Please be aware that if you are sensitive to parabens, do not try this product. If you are wondering what parabens are, they are a group of chemicals that are often used to preserve cosmetic or pharmaceutical products. Aside from chemicals, parabens can also be found in nature. Because of the methylparaben content of blueberries, I can’t tolerate a very large amount of them. Please also be aware that there has been a scientific study that reported the presence of parabens in samples of breast tumors. There has been, however, no proven link between parabens and cancer. I think I’ll try to stay away from them just in case though. I’m somewhat of a worry wart when it comes to things like that.

Overall, it's not that bad of a product. I'm just a little sour on it because it kept upsetting my stomach. Because parabens are rapidly metabolized and absorbed into the body, if you are allergic to them, you’ll know fairly quickly. Most people do not have allergies to them. I’m just one of the unlucky few. So, don’t let that deter you from trying this product. It’s a nice way to lube your lover up.

Pros:The tingle of the mint gel made my hubby happy and the strawberry gel tasted good to me. Nice consistency. Made oral sex alot tastier for me.

Cons:The big problem is that I'm allergic to parabens. If you have a sensitive stomach, be careful. I don't really feel comfortable using anything that scientists have found in tumors, even if there is no proven link.

Summary:Overall, these gels are nice, but I wouldn't get them again. My stomach wouldn't thank me for that. 3/5 stars for taste, tingle, and use. 2/5 stars taken away for having parabens and turning my stomach.

You can get the whole pack of 1 oz. tubes from Edenfantasys. That includes: Passion fruit, Cherry, Strawberry, Mint, and Cinnamon.

Edenfantasys also has lost of other personal lubricants that are paraben-free and lots of fun vibrators to play with! Check them out!
