The luxury of Je Joue’s G-Ki is apparent even before it emerges from its elegant black box. The sleek silicone G-Ki is soft, smooth and features a rounded head and slender neck. I did not receive an instruction manual but soon figured out that the two buttons that control the vibe are also the two points where the it is magnetically charged — and therein lies part of this item’s innovation! After two hours of charging, the G-Ki is ready for two hours of use. While I can’t hang for two hours all at once, the G-Ki battery is on standby and will probably serve me a few more times before I have to recharge.
The other innovative function of this vibe is its uniquely adjustable form. By squeezing two points — one near the tip, the other at the base — I can choose from a gentle curve or really treat myself to G-spot and clit stimulation at the same time by folding the vibe into a “J” shape. The joints in the vibe easily lock and unlock so you don’t even have to stop in the middle of playing with yourself to readjust. The G-Ki was easy to insert and while the tip massaged my G-spot the vibe’s body pulsated against my labia and clit. With five levels of extremely powerful yet silent vibration and pulsation patterns, even the first level was pretty strong. To my dislike, after testing each level I had to go in reverse in order to find the one I liked the most. Powering off the G-Ki was easy — simply hold down the “-” button for two seconds.
Every element of the OhMiBod from concept to design perfectly targets today’s generation of women that are on the go. Inside the clean white box it is packaged in, the OhMiBod comes encased in a hard plastic box with padding inside to snugly hold the OhMiBod and its wireless transmitter; because most importantly this vibe easily connects to an iPhone, iPod (any model), any mp3 player or home speaker system. The case is extremely travel-friendly, plus you’re provided with a universal charger with adapters for the U.S., Europe, Australia, New Zealand or the U.K., making the OhMiBod ready to go anywhere!
After weeks of use, my OhMiBod is still running on its initial charging — because it offers up to five hours of fun. Its manual setting features seven vibrating functions ranging from constant speeds to pulsation patterns. They’re powerful and the velvety coating offers a smooth touch. Since the OhMiBod is of a hard material, it doesn’t look or feel human-like, but I do love the pressure its stiffness offers.
When the wireless transmitter is connected to a music device, the OhMiBod’s intensity depends on the tunes. I recommend the pulsation of the fast steady beats of punk, upbeat Latin music and sensual reggae rhythms. Also, if the music doesn’t do it for me, it’s easy to switch from music to manual mode.
Luxury sex toy manufacturer Vida Internationale officially launched last night with a party at Voyeur nightclub in West Hollywood,Calif.
The event was hosted by mainstream actress Sofia Vergara, who currently stars in ABC’s “Modern Family,” and featured a live performance by Robin Thicke with DJ Jus Ske spinning music throughout the night.
The Voyeur venue was lavishly decorated; with masked, topless women posing, dancing and dangling from the ceiling.
Videos of the Essence of Pleasure line played continuously in the background as the line’s four vibrators were on display.
Gerardo Ramos, the developer of Vida’s new line said that each vibe’s name is a word derived from various languages from around the globe — old and new — that describe quintessential needs for sexual pleasure.
Lussuria is Lust; Zara is Aim; Vanta is Want; and Urja is Orgasm.

The company’s slogan “Sex is Life” also applies to the line’s concept.
“Vida means life and the line’s four vibes represents the four elements of life — earth, fire, water and air,” Ramos said. “The four dots that create the ‘i’ in Vida’s logo represent that too. It was all part of the concept.”
A sales rep said that the company strives to be earth-friendly. The vibes are mercury-free, cadmium-free and phthalates-free. They also are rechargeable and crafted from anodized aluminum and silicone.
Pollack said the line was designed with consideration to the contours of a woman’s body.
“Vida Internationale targets the discerning woman who is willing to take charge of her sexuality,” she said. “She makes an above average income yet is savvy when it comes to saving money and getting a good value for her money.
“The concept behind Vida began with a simple mission to make luxury pleasure objects that are priced right — because every woman deserves to experience affordable pleasure.”
Vida’s line comes in a leather train case tote with an embroidered Vida logo that includes a soft storage bag. Packaging also includes a catalog of Vida’s Essence of Pleasure line, plus detailed care and usage instructions.
A Vida Internationale sales representative said that the goal of the company is for its line to transcend into the mainstream.
The company’s aim was apparent with some of mainstream’s pop culture stars in attendance at the launch party. Guests included the entire cast of MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” actor Shane West and model, actress Carmen Electra and Lindsay Lohan, among several others.
I hate batteries.
They’re rarely included with vibrators and even when they are — they die! Even the longest-lasting battery will eventually die and it’s always unexpected… ugh. One of my biggest pet peeves is when the battery in my vibe begins to die. Slowly, vibration turns dull and teases my clit in a very cruel way!
Fun Factory has released an innovative recharger — the Fun Magnetic Plug — that magnetically re-ups the power on any of the company’s new Click ‘N’ Charge vibrators by simply lining up the plug’s metallic contact point with the magnetic surface located under the toy’s logo. Unlike other rechargeable Fun Factory vibes that require a base to recharge — the Fun Magnetic Plug is much more discrete.
Fun Factory currently lists five vibrators that are equipped with this new technology:
The Delight is designed to offer both external and G-spot stimulation. Its Royal Curl gives the vibe a curved end that reaches the G-spot, while its slight bulge tickles other areas.
The rechargeable BiMiNi Ocean also has been released along with the BiMiNi Flash. The Flash features two pleasure tips for clit and vaginal stimulation. Its small size and bud shape allows for easy insertion, making it an ideal beginner vibe.
The miniVIBES Bubbles vibrator features an asymmetrical design that looks like a stack of soap bubbles. The silicone vibe also is waterproof.
The miniVIBE Spring features a floral design that offers a smooth surface for all-over stimulation, as well as pinpointing specific spots through the protruding flowers.
Fun Factory vibes come in fun, vibrant colors and exciting shapes that are smooth to the touch. Being environmentally friendly adds a whole other level of attractiveness.
