Toyfriend Starlet Vibrator Review

Beanfiddler — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:00:01 +0000

I have reviewed a couple of Toyfriends in the past. I reviewed the Toyfriend Curvy, which I loved, the Toyfriend Seti, which I liked, and the Toyfriend Bossy, which I wanted to throw out the window. Considering I’m a bit like Goldilocks with my Toyfriends, I decided it was time to review another one, a tie-breaker, if you will. So, today we turn our attention to the the Toyfriend Starlet Vibrator.

The Toyfriend Starlet Vibrator is (obviously) made by the Swedish sex toy company, Toyfriend. One thing I have loved about all my Toyfriends is the awesome silicone with which they are covered. Not only is silicone latex and phthalate-free, non-porous, hypoallergenic, and body-safe, this silicone is super slick and smooth and doesn’t attract lint at all. I love it. It feels great against my skin as well. Of course, silicone is easy to care for and clean. As the Toyfriend Starlet is waterproof, you can wash it with antibacterial soap and warm water without fear. You can also use your favorite toy cleaner or a 10% bleach solution to sterilize it so you can share it with non-fluid bonded partners.

This silicone is so smooth, I really don’t need to use much lube with it, but no matter how much you use be sure and use a water-based lubricant. The silicone in a silicone-based lube could react with the silicone of the vibrator and cause the vibrator to become tacky. If you want to give it a shot, do a test patch at the base of the Toyfriend Starlet before slathering it all over with your silicone-based lubricant. This will easy to do as the entire Starlet is covered in silicone.

I hadn’t used my Curvy Toyfriend for a while when I first used the Starlet and I had forgotten the power of the Curvy. Well, the Starlet has that same power, which is surprising for vibrator that runs on two AAA batteries. The vibrations of the Toyfriend Starlet are quite strong, deep, and rumbly. They really work for me. Nothing buzzy about this vibrator. It has five modes of vibration, which are as follows:
1. Higher level straight vibration
2. Lower level straight vibration
3. Strong, one pulse pattern buuuuzzzz buuuuzzzz (This one is my favorite!)
4. Faster pulsation buuzz buuzz buuzz
5. Fastest pulsation buz buz buz buz

The one thing that is strange about all the Toyfriends I have tried is that they start on the highest level of vibration. That is always a bit of a jolt when I forget. I really prefer my vibrators to start on the lowest level so I can start slowly and get used to it.

With its one button control, the Toyfriend Starlet is easy to operate. You press the button on the bottom of the end cap to turn the vibrator on. To cycle through the vibration modes, you simply press the button. To turn the Toyfriend Starlett off, you press and hold the button for two seconds. No matter what mode you are on when you turn the vibrator off, it starts up at the highest speed so there is no memory. It really is a ramped up version of a simple vibrator.

The Toyfriend Starlet has a curved, flat head that is great to run along the body. It feels good against the nipples, clit, and labia. The flat head slips comfortably in between my labia and rests perfectly on my clit. The vibrations are centered in the head of the Toyfriend Starlet, which provides powerful stimulation for my clit. I suppose you can use the Toyfriend Starlet as an insertable vibrator but it really doesn’t work like that for me. Theoretically, the curved head could hit your g-spot depending on where it is, but it doesn’t hit mine, and the shaft of the vibrator feels like a handle, not an insertable. For me, this really is a clit vibrator, and though I have tried it internally, I only use it externally.

At 6.75″ in length and 1.25″ in diameter, the Toyfriend Starlet is an average sized vibrator. It feels solid in my hand but is not heavy and doesn’t hurt my wrist during use. It comes in a bright, cheery red silicone, which is a fun color. I don’t have very many red sex toys so I like the color quite a bit. On the side of the vibrator, it says, “tickler,” just like the other Toyfriends.

The packaging of the Toyfriend Starlet is the same as the other Toyfriends. It comes in a lightweight box with a plastic clamshell inside. The box is is colorful and says, “I VIBRATE,” on the sides, so it is not very discreet. You can also see the vibrator clearly in the clamshell. Also like the other Toyfriends, the Toyfriend Starlet comes with a clear plastic stand so you can stand it up in a cupboard, in your toy box, or on your dresser if you so desire. The box is not very sturdy so I don’t recommend it for storage. It also takes up quite a but more room than the vibrator itself. You’re probably better off storing it in a storage bag or ziploc baggie unless you have a ton of storage space.

As I mentioned before, the Toyfriend Starlet requires two AAA batteries, which are included with the vibrator. Super awesome! They come inside the vibrator with a small piece of paper that says, “I am a Tickler,” that keeps the vibrator from turning on. You can store then in the vibrator this way or take them out and store them separately, which is always a good idea.

Toyfriend Starlet Pros:
• Strong, deep vibrations
• Super smooth silicone
• Waterproof
• Comes with batteries
• Bright color

Toyfriend Starlet Cons:
• Starts on the highest level of vibration

Overall, the Toyfriend Starlet is a great simple vibrator with a few twists. It has an easy to operate button, pulsation patterns, awesome lint-free silicone, is waterproof, and comes with batteries. The vibrations are strong, quiet, and deep, just the way I like them. I tend to prefer rechargeable vibrators but it is nice sometimes to be able to reach for something and not have to worry about whether or not it’s charged. The fact that Toyfriend includes the batteries is classy and means you don’t have to wait until you buy or find batteries laying around the house to play. The Toyfriend Starlet is carried by a number of online retailers, so depending on where you like to shop and what you want to pay, you can find the Toyfriend Starlet at the following stores:

SPOTLIGHT on New PicoBong Vibrators

Beanfiddler — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:00:07 +0000

Remember back when PicoBong launched their first collection of colorful vibrators? I did a Spotlight on the new PicoBong Vibrators and even reviewed the PicoBong KIKI. Well, PicoBong has come out with four new vibrators and they are available at Babeland and FunWares.

Introducing…

PicoBong MOKA G-Vibe

The MOKA G-Vibe is a vibrator that can be used both internally and externally. The flat head is designed to target the g-spot, as well as the clit. It runs on two AAA batteries, which provide up to two hours of play time, and is made of silicone. MOKA reminds me a bit of the LELO Ella and the LELO Gigi (not surprising as PicoBong is owned by LELO), both of which can be found at Babeland and FunWares.
The MOKA G-Vibe is available at:
Babeland
FunWares

PicoBong KAYA Rabbit Vibe

The KAYA Rabbit Vibe is PicoBong’s first rabbit vibrator and it has me rather curious. I love a good rabbit so I am interested in trying out this vibrator. The KAYA has dual action vibrations, is made of silicone, and is waterproof to one meter.
You can find the KAYA Rabbit Vibe at:
Babeland
FunWares

PicoBong ZIZO Innie Vibe

The ZIZO Innie Vibe is an internal vibrator with a slight curve that will probably hit a good many women’s g-spot. Like the other vibrators in this collection, ZIZO is made of silicone, has 12 vibrational patterns, and is waterproof. It comes in pink, purple, and turquoise.
The ZIZO Innie Vibe is available at:
Babeland
FunWares

PicoBong AKO Outie Vibe

The AKO Outie Vibe is an external vibrator that looks a bit like the KIKI without the flattened head. It also has 12 vibrational patterns and runs on two AAA batteries. This vibrator looks the least interesting to me, probably because it seems so similar to the KIKI. AKO also comes in pink, purple, and turquoise an is made of silicone.
You can find the AKO Outie Vibe at:
Babeland
FunWares

I’m curious about these PicoBong vibrators and how they compare to their predecessors. As before, the colors are great even if the designs are nothing terribly new. Still, I did love the silicone of the PicoBong KIKI, even if I didn’t love much else about it, and these vibrators all use two AAA batteries which promises more power than the KIKI. I would review one if I had the opportunity. Check these new PicoBong vibrators out at Babeland and FunWares and let me know what you think!

Mother’s Day

Beanfiddler — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:00:20 +0000

Mother’s Day is almost upon us. I can’t believe how quickly the time has flown. This year is just speeding by. At some moments it seems like the time will never pass and at other moments I wonder where it has gone. This means I have yet to pick my mom up something for Mother’s Day. Eek! I’d best get to ordering!

Don’t worry if you are in the same boat because a you can still shop online and ship overnight to get it in time for Mother’s Day. Click on over to Bean Fiddler’s Deals & Sales page to check out how to save money on whomever you’re shopping for this Mother’s Day. If sex toys aren’t on your list, you might want to consider some lingerie, massage oils, or bath and body products. Several online retailers offer these sensual gems as well, like Babeland and EdenFantasys.

If none of these items fit the bill or you’re not sure what to buy, consider flowers. You know your loved ones best, but many women love to get flowers any time of the year and Mother’s Day is no exception. Send Mothers Day Flowers to your loved one/s and remember to enjoy. Giving should be as fun or more so than receiving!

System JO Clitoral Gel Review

Beanfiddler — Wed, 09 May 2012 15:00:04 +0000

I have reviewed a couple of arousal products in the past and I have liked them. Remember Blossom Organics Pure Pleasure Arousal Gel and Intimate Organics Intense Clit Stimulating Gel? Today I’m going to review two arousal products made by System JO, the System JO Mild Clitoral Gel and the System JO Wild Clitoral Gel.

System JO Mild Clitoral Gel contains the following ingredients:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclotetrasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Dimethicone, Peppermint (Menthe Piperita)

System JO Wild Clitoral Gel formulas contains the following ingredients:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclotetrasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Dimethicone, Peppermint (Menthe Piperita), Olearesins Capsicum.

As you can see, these formulas are almost identical with the addition of Olearesins Capsicum in the System JO Wild Clitoral Gel formula. Olearesins Capsicum is the same ingredient used in pepper spray, so you’d think it would pack a punch. However, I’m sure there is a huge difference in the amount used in pepper spray compared to the amount used in the System JO Wild Clitoral Gel.

Cyclopentasiloxane is classified as expected to be toxic or harmful by the Environment Canada Domestic Substance List. Cyclotetrasiloxane has been shown to be a possible human endocrine disruptor, is a possible human reproductive toxin, and there is limited evidence of developmental toxicity. Considering the amount of System JO Clitoral Gel one would use over a period of time, it is not likely to cause harm. However, it is good to be aware of the possible effects of these ingredients. Some people don’t care and some would rather not take the risk.

System JO Clitoral Gel is silicone-based, which could be unfortunate depending on how you want to use it. I would hesitate to use it with silicone sex toys. Though unlikely based on the small amount of clitoral gel you would probably use, the silicone in the System JO Clitoral Gel could interact with the silicone of the sex toy causing it to become tacky. You’re safe if you plan on using it with fingers, during sex, or with glass, metal, plastic, TPR, TPE, etc. sex toys.

I find no scent with either the System JO Mild Clitoral Gel or the System JO Wild Clitoral Gel, nor any strong taste. The clitoral gel is thick and silky smooth to the touch. The good thing about the System JO Clitoral Gel being thick is that it sits well on my clit and doesn’t drip or spread all over the place. It also stays put on my finger until I get it on my clit. However, as it is silicone-based it tends to stick to my finger too and is a bit harder to wash off than a water-based product. On the positive side, it makes the back of my hand nice and soft if I wipe it there when I’m too lazy to get up and wash right away.

The packaging of both System JO Mild and Wild Clitoral Gels is simple. The clitoral gel comes in a small plastic 10cc (10 ml) tube with a pointy end that needs to be cut off before you can squeeze out the clitoral gel. The tube comes inside a small cardboard envelope that can be recycled after opening. This packaging is not discreet as it says, “clitoral gel” in big letters on the front in two places. The back has directions in tiny print in four languages. There is nothing exciting about this packaging but there doesn’t need to be. The excitement should come from the product.

Unfortunately, it really doesn’t. I don’t find much effect from the System JO Mild Clitoral Gel at all. After applying System JO Wild Clitoral Gel to my clit, I have a very slight reaction. The directions say to apply a small amount of the gel and I have done this. I have also tried applying a significant amount of the gel, which doesn’t seem to help much. I don’t think I have a clit of steel as other arousal products have worked well for me. I really expected something more. In fact, I was worried the System Jo Wild Clitoral Gel might be too much for my clit but it wasn’t even close. I felt a very light sensation that disappeared quite quickly. It was slightly tingly but really didn’t go anywhere, it just dissipated rather than intensifying or lasting as other products have done. According to the directions, the sensation should kick in within 3-5 minutes and last up to 45 minutes. My experience has not come close to that at all. I haven’t noticed quicker or more intense orgasms using this clitoral gel. Very disappointing. What amazes me is that System JO has a Light Clitoral Gel formula out. Something lighter than Mild? I can’t imagine that working for anyone.

System JO Clitoral Gel Pros:
• Thick consistency
• No discernible scent

System JO Clitoral Gel Cons:
• Not strong enough for me
• Silicone based
• Stays on fingers
• Ingredients may have toxicity issues

I really can’t recommend System JO Clitoral Gel in Mild or Wild. Perhaps if your clit is very sensitive to such products you might appreciate it but there are just better products out there, like Blossom Organics Pure Pleasure Arousal Gel and Intimate Organics Intense Clit Stimulating Gel. I like these two products so much more and think they are superior products for several reasons. You can find System JO Mild and Wild Clitoral Gel at the following stores, but I’d say skip it and go for the Blossom Organics Pure Pleasure Arousal Gel or the Intimate Organics Intense Clit Stimulating Gel.
