 Box, bag, chargers, foam bits:

The iGino One is a small external vibrator, in a bright white and pink ABS plastic. This vibrator has a few positives, one being that if one gets the travel version it comes has with a US and European charger. It also has the capability to charge with a computer via usb. Technically this vibrator is on the discrete side as it appears more like a cell phone than anything else, and the color scheme is rather reminiscent of Hello Kitty. There is a plastic cover to protect the toy portion from dust which is pretty cool.

Unfortunately, that is the end of this product's positive high notes. The iGino's motor is rather loud and buzzy- high pitched and loud enough to be more annoying than a Hitachi. I found attempting to use the iGino for any long amount of time resulted in far more headaches than orgasms. Though the iGino oscillates,¹ the buzzing portion is too short for the oscillations to be effective, or even strongly distinctive from vibrations. If the vibrating portion were less of a nub, and could cover more area, this would work far better for myself. 

iGino notes that this vibrator can be used between couples, however this only seems to be true if the vulva owner(s) have flat or concave mons pubis, otherwise there is a lot of jostling and simply not stimulating the clitoral area. The iGino One only has one speed, and is on the powerful side of things. Theoretically one can use the different slim foam bits and vary pressure to try and establish different speeds, though I didn't have much luck with this.

This toy takes twelve hours to charge using the USB port, and only charges the toy for forty minutes. Forty minutes. I would expect that kind of ratio for a strong solar powered vibrator. Beyond this though, I would not suggest sharing this toy with anyone you have not fluid bound with. The foamy section seems porous, however the rest of the ABS plastic can be wiped down to sanitize it.

This was iGino's first foray into the sex toy world, and even though it didn't take off to the moon- it was made of safe materials and by a company that wants to help people find pleasure. I hope to see another version or model by iGino in the future.

¹ This is what originally drew me to this product despite the cringeworthy tag line of "what women want".

Lucky Me Lucky You

For today's review, I'll be looking at Lucky Me, Lucky You. As always, click any image to see a larger version!

 Open:

 Size comparison:

This flavored and scented towelette is a one-time use product designed to improve oral sex. For ingredients, there are no parabens or glycerin, though if any irritation occurs one should stop using it. The towelette is around hand size for myself, so application is easy. The slight dampness makes it so one can glide the towelette over a body.

The flavor I tested out is Succulent Strawberry, and currently other flavors are being created. I found the scent rather sweet, and a tiny bit cloying. After wiping the towelette on any patch of skin, it takes on the strawberry scent for a little over an hour. The flavor's taste unfortunately didn't apply as well as the scent. It was only noticeable after being applied recently, and wasn't a strong taste. If you wanted to use this product to make someone's genitals taste like strawberries, it simply won't do.¹ If you want to make genitals smell like strawberries though, it will succeed at that. This also holds for other bodily areas, though the taste comes through a little more, it still isn't that strong.

Ingredients: Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Stevia Rebaudiana Extract, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Flavor 

This product doesn't interfere with condom use, dental dams, or gloves. It's worth remembering that it does not prevent STI transmission. All in all, this product may improve your oral sex life if you would be more comfortable if your or your partner(s) genitals smelled different. However, if you want semen or vaginal fluids to taste slightly sweeter, this product won't help.

¹ A better choice for taste would be any of Sliquid's Swirl line, I especially like the Green Apple and Pink Lemonade.

Grade Breakdown: 59

Value: 4/5

5 pack for $5.99 or 10 pack for $10.99

For a one-use, this is fairly priced.

Aesthetics: 7/20

The packaging is simple,

and the white towelette isn't the prettiest.

Pleasure: 48/75

Intended Functionality: 2/5

Flavor wasn't strong enough.

Reusability: 10/20

It's a one-use product,

it's a shade versatile as it can be applied anywhere.

Being used for its lovely strawberry scent.

Thanks Lucky Me Lucky You!

Avalon

For today's review I'll be looking at Avalon by SSA Glass. Click any of the photos to see their full version! 

Pouch:

Size Comparison:

I decided to review this glass dildo for rather superficial reasons. First, I only had one glass dildo at the time of requesting Avalon, and had been meaning to expand that collection. Secondly, I was listening to Mickey Avalon's My Dick. Though I wouldn't say that this dick was "good for nothin'" I also wouldn't say it was "good good lovin'". 

I found this dildo to be too narrow, at it's widest point it's an inch across. The bumpy side was too smooth and thin for me to really feel the bumps. If I squeezed my pc muscles while thrusting I could distinctly feel the different bumps, but I was far too lazy to do this for long. This was also the only way I was able to achieve any g-spot stimulation with this toy. The opposite smooth side starts off at its widest and tapers down. This side was just a little too dull for me. I would not recommend either end for anal play as there is no flared base. Though this is a double ended dildo, I wouldn't recommend having two people use it internally at the same time given the rigidity of this toy.

This dildo is made of glass, so it can be used for temperature play, by either bringing the toy in the bath or heating/cooling a cup of water for the dildo. Also testing the chilled/heated toy on your nose before placing it anywhere more sensitive can help avoid potential mishaps. When including temperature play I found this dildo to be much more interesting, and it would make for a good introductory temperature play toy.

Any lubricant can be used with this toy, and not that much is needed. The glass is completely smooth and devoid of any taste or scent. It can be easily cleaned with a dishwasher, through boiling, using toy cleaner, or hand washing with warm water and soap.

The Avalon I was sent was wrapped in bubble wrap, its storage pouch, and sent in a plain cardboard box. I found it rather odd that this toy didn't come in it's own distinct sealed packaging given it's made by a fairly large manufacturer. 

All in all this may be a fine dildo for someone who enjoys skinny toys or is new to temperature play and/or penetration; however if you enjoy distinctive texture and an average girth or wider, I would skip this one.
