A few weeks ago I did a Spotlight on the new Jopen Vanity Five-Point Series. I mentioned I would be reviewing one of these new vibrators. As promised and thanks to the wonderful people at Jopen, today I am reviewing the Vanity Vr5.5 Vibrator, which can be purchased at EdenFantasys.

The Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 is one of the vibrators in the new Five-Point Series, a group of four new vibrators Jopen has recently introduced to the Jopen Vanity line. It is the signature magenta color of the Vanity line and completely covered in silicone. Back in February I reviewed the Vanity Vr10 and wasn’t totally thrilled with the rubbery feel of its silicone. However, the Vanity Vr5.5 feels very different. This magenta silicone is soft and smooth to the touch and I much prefer it. Like the Vr10, the Vanity Vr5.5 also has a slight seam all around the vibrator. However, it is much less visible and I don’t feel it as much with my fingers. I don’t feel it at all when in use. There is some text on the back of the Vanity Vr5.5 that gives information about voltage, recycling, and says “Powerbullet”. This can be clearly seen and felt but does not disturb me during play.

As always, I love silicone sex toys because they are easy to care for and clean. You can use a sex toy cleaner, a 10% bleach solution, or simply warm water and antibacterial soap, which is what I do most of the time nowadays. The Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 is totally waterproof so it makes washing with water easy breezy and allows you to take the vibrator in the bath or shower.

Silicone is latex and phthalate-free, non-porous, hypoallergenic, and body-safe, and few people have allergies to silicone. This silicone is both scent and taste-free. It is best to use a water-based lubricant with the Vanity Vr5.5 as the silicone of the vibrator can react with silicone-based lubricants and become tacky. The silicone does has some drag to it so you may want to use a bit of lube when playing.

The Vanity Vr5.5 is a rabbit style vibrator, meaning the larger shaft is insertable, while the smaller piece is an external clit stimulator. It is 7″ long, with approximately 4″ being insertable, and 1.5″ in diameter. The clit stimulator is 3″ long and 1.5″ wide. The vibrator feels sturdy in my hand but is lightweight at less than .5 pounds. The shaft of the vibrator is totally firm while the clit stimulator is very flexible and can actually be bent in half, though it will not stay in this position. This allows you to push down on the clit stimulator to create pressure against your clit if you so desire, without fear of breaking or damaging it.

The Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 is rechargeable and has a charging port on its back that closes itself off when the charging prong is removed. It takes about four hours to charge completely. The buttons have LEDs that light up when charging and will turn off when the Vanity Vr5.5 is fully charged. This vibrator has powerful independent dual motors, one in the tip of the massager and one in the clit stimulator. I find the vibrations of these motors to be fairly deep and throbby, with the the clit stimulator being slightly less so. However, it is by no means buzzy.

With its unique shape, the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 is interesting and attractive to look at it and even more fun to use. The shape of the internal piece works really well for me. The larger tip and thinner shaft allows my body to tighten down it on very comfortably and it sits inside me just right. When I thrust, the tip rubs slightly against my g-spot, something I wasn’t expecting. The Vanity Vr5.5 hits my clit perfectly. So perfectly, in fact, that I can do some shallow thrusting with the Vr5.5 without it losing contact with my clit. It’s the ideal shape for my body. I don’t have to press down on the clit stimulator to maintain contact with my clit because the clit stimulator maintains contact on its own. While it really doesn’t provide pressure, I don’t need it in this case because it sits so perfectly on my clit. The only real downside of the Vanity Vr5.5 I find in use is that the handle feels short. I wish it were longer so it would be more comfortable with which to thrust.

Having a two button control panel makes the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 easy to use. The top button controls the motor located in the tip of the vibrator, while the bottom button controls the motor in the clit stimulator. To turn the vibrations on and off you simply press one or both of the buttons. To increase the level of the vibrations you hold down on the button/s. Another downside is that you can’t actually decrease the level of the vibrations, you just have to turn the vibrator off and start over again if you’ve gone too high. The LED lights on the buttons flash when they are being pressed down and stay solidly lit when the Vr5.5 is on.

One really cool thing about the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 is the travel lock. To lock, you press and hold both buttons down for four seconds. To unlock, do the same. When holding the buttons down to lock, the LEDs will light up and then go out. When unlocking, the LED on the bottom button will light up. Once unlocked, the LED on the top button will light up as well.

Jopen backs their products with a one year warranty, which you must register for, and an optional 10 year warranty. I haven’t signed up for the 10 year warranty so I can’t tell you anything about it, other than it isn’t all that easy to find information about it. Both warranties are through another warranty website where you can register online or print something out to register via mail.

The Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 comes in the same kind of packaging as the Vr10. I’m no more impressed with this packaging the second time around. I like high-end packaging, like that of LELO, and for the price point I wish Jopen would invest a bit more into their making their packaging more luxurious. Nonetheless, it is sufficient. The box holds the Vr5.5 well so it doesn’t flop around. Included in the box are a booklet with images of the entire Jopen Vanity line, a sheet that lists the vibrator’s attributes, the charger, and the storage bag.

Now, you know I love a storage bag to come with my sex toys. It just makes storage so much easier. When we’re talking about a high-priced toy, I especially want it to come with a storage bag and the Vanity Vr5.5 does. It comes with a huge storage bag. It’s so big I could use it as an overnight bag. Ok, I exaggerate, but it is very large. The storage bag is 9.5″ wide and 10″ long, much bigger than the vibrator itself. You can easily carry the charger in the bag, along with lube, condoms, and the kitchen sink if you’d like.

Vanity Vr5.5 Pros:
• Fits my body perfectly
• Silicone
• Powerful
• Dual Motors
• Rechargeable
• Travel lock

Vanity Vr5.5 Cons:
• Cannot decrease the vibration level
• Short handle

Like the Vr10, the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 has much to offer. It it waterproof, rechargeable, and has powerful dual motors. However, the silicone of these vibrators is slightly different and I prefer the silicone of the Vr5.5. I also find it fits my body better and just gets me off better in general. I think it’s a tad pricey so I’ve knocked off half of a bean, but overall I really like this vibrator and what it has to offer. I’m sure other stores will start carrying this great vibrator soon, but right now you can find the Jopen Vanity Vr5.5 at EdenFantasys.

Last week I fell in love with the Tantus Cush Dildo. This week I’m reviewing another Tantus product, the Tantus Delta from FunWares.

The Tantus Delta is a vibrating dildo with an unusual shape. It has an insertable portion and an external portion, like a rabbit vibrator. It’s a bit different from a traditional rabbit vibrator because neither part moves but rather transmits vibrations from the included bullet vibrator that fits into the bottom of the dildo. The Tantus Delta is definitely on the small side at 5″ long with approximately 2.5″ insertable, and a diameter of .75″. This makes it great for beginners and those who prefer smaller sex toys. As you can see in one of the images, it’s quite soft and very flexible.

Made of 100% Ultra-Premium Platinum Silicone, the Tantus Delta is latex and phthalate-free, hypoallergenic, and body-safe. It is super easy to care for and clean. You can use your favorite sex toy cleaner, warm water and antibacterial soap, or a 10% bleach solution. You can also wash it in the top drawer of your dishwasher without soap or boil it for 3-5 minutes, just be sure to remove the vibrating bullet. As the Tantus Delta can be sterilized with bleach or by boiling, you can share it between non-fluid bonded partners.

It is generally best to use water-based lubricant with the Tantus Delta as silicone-based lube could have a negative chemical reaction with the silicone of the Delta and cause it to become tacky. You can always do a patch test at the base of the Tantus Delta to see how your silicone-based lubricant and the vibrating dildo will interact. I have not done so as I just prefer to use water-based lube with my silicone sex toys.

The Tantus Delta comes in the typical Tantus packaging, a flexible, see-through plastic box. This box is not at all discreet as it is see-through and says, “The World’s Best Soft Toys For Adults” on it. So, it may not be best to leave it laying around. The box is ok for storage but not great as it takes up quite a bit more room than the actual Tantus Delta and isn’t the sturdiest thing in the world. You may be better off using a toy storage pouch or plastic baggie.

You can use the Tantus Delta with or without the included vibrating bullet. The vibrating bullet is about 2.25″ long and 2.25″ in circumference. It comes with the three required LR44 batteries. I greatly appreciate this as these batteries can be a bit of a pain to find. This bullet vibrator is the exact same bullet that comes with the Tantus Zing. It can be tricky to slide the bullet in and out of the Tantus Delta so I recommend using a few drops of water-based lubricant to make the bullet easier to manage. As I always forget to do this and find myself constantly struggling to get the damn bullet out, I cannot stress this enough. The vibrating bullet is a one speed and is easily turned on and off with a small push button on the bottom of the unit. The vibrations from the bullet are high-pitched and buzzy, not my favorite type of vibration for clit stimulation.

The excellent Tantus silicone transmits the vibrations surprisingly well, though I do find them a bit too buzzy for my taste. The shape is good for g-spot stimulation though I wish the dildo was a bit firmer where it hits my g-apot. The .5″ base is great for thrusting. It is easy to hold on to and grip as well as making the Tantus Delta ideal for harness use.

I generally like Tantus sex toys so I had high hopes for the Tantus Delta, though I was uncertain about the shape. I figured it would either work really well or be a disaster. Lo and behold, it works great for me. I usually prefer toys with more girth but something about this shape just works. As I’m thrusting the Tantus Delta inside me I can feel the internal piece rubbing against my g-spot while the external piece rubs against my clit just right. The added vibrations add to these sensations and take everything to the next level. I think the vibrations might be too buzzy for constant contact with my clit but they work just fine for thrusting. There is enough vibration and rubbing stimulation to get me off without numbing my clit in the process because the contact is intermittent.

Tantus Delta Pros:
• Great silicone
• Unusual shape
• Fits my body well
• Good for those who like smaller sized toys
• Comes with vibrating bullet
• Can be used with a harness
• Not a dust magnet

Tantus Delta Cons:
• Bullet provides buzzy vibrations
• Bullet could be stronger
• Hard to find batteries

The Tantus Delta is made of a beautiful pearly pink silicone that is surprisingly not a dust magnet like some of Tantus’ silicone. Tantus makes high quality sex toys and I love that they are made in the U.S. I like the strange shape of the Tantus Delta and how it provides multiple types of stimulation by rubbing against my g-spot and my clit along with providing vibration. My biggest complaint about the Tantus Delta is the buzziness of the vibrating bullet. I’d prefer it came with a stronger bullet with deeper, rumblier vibrations. However, it does get me off and is a successful, if unusual, rabbit vibrator.

FunWares has great prices, discreet shipping, and often ships the same day as you order. So, head on over to FunWares to pick up your own Tantus Delta which just happens to be on sale right now. Not only that, but use code: FIDDLER to receive 10% off your entire order!

Just last week I reviewed the new Je Joue Uma so I thought this would be a good time to discuss Uma’s cousin the new Je Joue FiFi.

As you can see, the Je Joue FiFi has a similar shape to the Je Joue Uma with one very big difference. The Je Joue FiFi is a rabbit vibrator. It also has three motors to the Uma’s one, which is pretty impressive. Based on the Uma’s power I am guessing the FiFi offers deep, rumbly, and strong vibrations. FiFi is covered in silicone and uses the same awesome magnetic charger that Uma does. This means the Je Joue FiFi is 100% waterproof and can be fully submersed, which is great for those who like to play in the bath.

The Je Joue FiFi offers both steady vibration and pattern modes. It does have the same type of buttons as the Uma which means the patterns are probably very difficult to access. That could conceivably be a downfall of this sex toy. Nonetheless, I am still very interested in trying it. I do like the vibrations of the Uma and I love a good rabbit vibrator. Here’s hoping a review opportunity comes along!

The Je Joue FiFi is available at the following stores:
Babeland
EdenFantasys
Good Vibrations
PinkCherry

Vanity by Jopen is a relatively new line of luxury sex toys. They were released last year, but this is the first time I have had the chance to review one. I really like rabbit vibrators so I chose the Vanity Vr10 from FunWares.

The Vanity line is made by Jopen, a company owned by California Exotic Novelties, a very large manufacturer of sex toys. Not known for making high end sex toys, California Exotics has branched out by making Jopen their luxury line of toys. I am not a huge fan of California Exotic Novelties products so I was curious to see how the Jopen line would measure up.

The Vanity Vr10 is made of magenta silicone. The color is very bright, almost garish, so if you like bright colors you’ll be pleased. The silicone is odorless and tasteless (yes, I have tasted it) and surprisingly squishy. There is no hard core down the center of the shaft so the silicone is very pliable about halfway down until you hit the area that conceals the motor. The rest of the shaft, including the handle area, is completely hard. There is a seam that runs all along the shaft and though I feel this seam easily with my fingers, my body doesn’t feel it when I am playing with the vibrator. This silicone does have a tendency to pick up loose hair and lint but it is not an insane lint magnet like some silicone sex toys I have.

Silicone is latex and phthalate-free, non-porous, hypoallergenic, and body-safe. This makes it very safe to use as a material for sex toys. As it can be sterilized, you can also use the Vanity Vr10 between non-fluid bonded partners. This vibrator is a little over 9.5″ long, with about 5.5″ of the shaft being insertble, and is 1.75″ in diameter at its thickest point. The rabbit stimulator is about 4″ long.

The Vanity Vr10 is completely waterproof, which makes cleaning it super easy. You can wash it with warm water and antibacterial soap, use your favorite sex toy cleaner, or sterilize it with a 10% bleach solution. However, do not wash it in the dishwasher or boil it as this would likely destroy the dual motors. Also be sure to store your Vanity Vr10 away from other silicone toys. Silicone does not react well when mixed with other silicone. A chemical reaction can cause the silicone to melt and become tacky. For this reason it is best to use water-based lubricant with your Vanity Vr10 rather than silicone-based. As this silicone has a fair amount of drag to it, you do want to use some lube with it. If you are determined to use a silicone-based lube, do a small patch test at the base of the vibrator to see how the two react.

I love my rechargeable vibrators and the Vanity Vr10 is rechargeable. It comes with a charging cradle that plugs into the wall while the vibrator sits in the cradle for charging. There are two rows of LEDs that glow red when the vibrator is charging and turn white when it is fully charged. You want to charge your Vanity Vr10 for four hours the very first time. The cradle is a really nice way to charge the vibrator. It’s easy to use and it works well.

As I mentioned previously, the Vanity Vr10 has dual motors, one in the shaft and one in the clit stimulator. In addition, the shaft rotates. There are two separate buttons that control these functions. The top button operates the rotating shaft and the bottom button is for the vibrating motors. These buttons are located on the base of the shaft and are easy to press. To turn the motor on and off you simply press the button. To incrementally increase the speed of the rotation or the power of the motor you hold the button down. There is no way to decrease speed or power other than turning the motor off and back on again. Each time you restart, the Vanity Vr10 will begin at the lowest level. You can run the rotating shaft and the vibrating motors together or separately.

You can lock the Vanity Vr10 for storage or travel which is very cool, but I find the lock difficult to turn on. You must press down on both buttons for four seconds. This is tricky because if you don’t do it just right one or both of the motors will turn on. I find it quite frustrating that it takes so long to lock the damn thing and makes me feel like an idiot in the bargain. However, the LED lights up to let you know the lock has been activated, which I do appreciate.

The Vanity Vr10 claims to be whisper quiet but I have to totally disagree with that. When it is on and outside of my body I can hear it through my closed bedroom door. Of course, it is much quieter when it is inside me and pressed up against my body but it is definitely not a quiet vibrator. However, the Vanity Vr10 is quite powerful so I don’t really mind the noise, nor do I find it distracting during play.

As I said, I find the motors impressively powerful and the shaft has a good range of motion. I really need to grip the base hard when the shaft is rotating to make sure it’s the shaft that rotates inside me and not the base rotating outside my body. When I do this I can really feel the shaft moving inside, especially at the higher levels. The clit stimulator is also very strong. The vibrations are not exactly deep side nor are they very buzzy but more mid-range. However, they do get buzzier the higher they go.

The second motor is located in the shaft of the Vanity Vr10. However, between the rotating shaft and clit vibrations there is so much going on I don’t necessarily notice the vibration from the second motor so I’m not sure how necessary or beneficial it is for me. There are three ridges on the shaft that look like they should be felt but they really don’t do much for me at all. I’m not sure if it’s the placement or just my body but I don’t notice them during play.

The packaging for the Vanity Vr10 is not what I expected from a sex toy in this price range. The vibrator and its bits come in a large cardboard box with a sheet that lists the vibrator’s features and a little booklet that shows the entire Vanity line and with one page of instructions. Also included in the box are the charger, charging cradle and velveteen storage bag. The packaging is adequate but it’s not very nice. Mine is already quite banged up. Of course packaging is not that important it’s just that I expect more from such an expensive product.

Vanity Vr10 Pros:
• Silicone
• Waterproof
• Rechargeable
• Powerful
• Storage bag
• One year warranty

Vanity Vr10 Cons:
• Price
• Have to hold the base very tightly
• Noisy
• Travel lock is a challenge
• Doesn’t feel as luxurious as expected

While the Vanity Vr10 is a solid rabbit vibrator, the price tag and a few details make it difficult to recommend wholeheartedly. I like that it is silicone but it has a slightly rubbery feel to it and the vibrator as a whole doesn’t feel as high-end as the price would suggest. The packaging certainly leaves much to be desired for such an expensive sex toy. Of course, who buys toys for the packaging? It’s not a perfect fit for my body, though it does get me off. On the other hand, it is totally waterproof, rechargeable, and very powerful. I like the Vanity Vr10 but it doesn’t wow me, and at this price it should.

Check out the Vanity Vr10 and and the rest of the Vanity line at FunWares. They also have a ton of other rabbit vibrators in many different price ranges. Shipping is always fast and discreet and FunWares has super low prices.

Babeland has two new vibrators that look pretty cool, the Activus Vibe and the Stimulus Vibe.

Activus Vibe

Stimulus Vibe

Both of these vibrators are made of silicone and have 12 types of vibration. The Stimulus is a rabbit style vibrator and has two different motors, while the Activus is designed to target your g-spot and can be used both internally and externally. Both vibrators use four AAA batteries and come in bright colors. Check them out at Babeland.

Also, this weekend at Babeland you can save 20% on all LELO sex toys, which makes this an excellent time to go shopping!
