On Saturday, Oct 8, adult toys retailer SexToy.com led the first successful launch of a sex toy into space and back.

SexToy.com’s branded vibrating bullet moved at speed of 1,800 feet per minute and reached an estimated maximum altitude of 120,000 feet. Powered by Energizer Lithium Ultimate AA batteries, the vibrating bullet was fully operational and vibrating for the entire nine-hour space voyage.

Though some media outlets have thought the project to be a pure publicity stunt, CEO Sextoy Dave commented, “This is really just a stepping stone to do more interesting experiments with sex toys. The success of this launch has our team planning the next space endeavor — we may be launching a sex doll into space to serve as an extraterrestrial representative baring the slogan, ‘We Cum in Peace.’”

The vibrating bullet had a dramatic launch and rocky descent back into earth’s atmosphere. The ascent took more than one hour and halfway through the ascent the bullet withstood the coldest temperatures of its journey at -75F.

The turbulent descent took approximately 30 minutes. The partially solar-powered, partially helium-filled balloon equipped with an HD video and still camera was tangled up in balloon debris and popped at around 19:24 into the descent. It hit the ground at upwards of 60 miles per hour rather than the gentle 5-10 mph expected. However, the payload was engineered to be impact-resistant, so nothing was damaged. The balloon and sex toy landed safely in an open field away from houses and people, and were retrieved by the Sextoy.com team. Miraculously, the vibrator was still vibrating, company officials said.

Pictures and video of the sex toy’s space voyage are posted on SexToy.com/blog. The space-traveled vibrating bullet will be auctioned off on ebay.com with proceeds benefiting Breast Cancer Awareness.

The three strategically positioned motors along the shaft of the Colétte Curved Massager provide superb vibration, pulsation and escalation that resonate throughout this premium silicone massager. Its flexible, soft, pliable, seamless shaft moves with you. With a tap of its feather-touch controls, its whisper-quiet motors deliver seven functions of vibration, pulsation and escalation. Completely waterproof, this beauty can be used in or out of the water.
This is truly a beautiful vibrator. The power is enough to satisfy any person’s needs. I really love that it is contoured to fit in my hand. Even with lube on my hand, it did not slip and was easy to maneuver. Having three motors is great because it hit the spot regardless of the position. I did have a problem figuring out how to open the battery pack, but when I figured it out, it was me not the vibe! I definitely think this is a great item for both beginners and veteran toy users!

Twist it, flex it, bend it, love it! The Screaming O has set a new sex toy standard with the OGee Twistee multipurpose stimulator, the first of its kind featuring a flexible core that lets you customize it to touch multiple pleasure zones that fixed-form vibes can’t reach. The OGee bends at any angle to hit every nook, cranny and crevice all at the same time! The OGee is powered by The Screaming O’s renowned super-powerful bullet. It features three speeds of vibration operated by a simple push-button. The OGee is made of soft silicone-based material with ridged G-Spot and nubbed clitoral textures for incredible sensations … O Gee! I enjoyed this item because of the flexible body. It allowed me to change the shape in over 10 different ways. I felt like I had several vibes in one. The power on this vibe was not very strong, but did the job. If you need stronger vibration, you can replace the bullet with another Screaming O bullet of your choosing. The packaging on this item is perfect for hanging or standing alone because of its flat bottom. It is a fun product for both new and advanced users.

This body-safe ABS, TPE smooth, coated toy is hefty enough to satisfy the thicker toy user and is firm and unbendable. The push-button controls are a little confusing to use (instructions, please!) and there are two motors to make a combination of 15 pulses and vibes powered by four AAA batteries. The curve at the top is solid enough to satisfy the biggest G-Spot aficionados out there and the shape is not too long or clumsy. The motors are nice and quiet and the toy is nicely balanced in your hand. The twist-on base boasts a waterproof seal so you can splish splash with this vibe, too.
Packaged in the distinctive Evolved tin box with a press-together closure, this would do well for the customer who wants more “oomph” in size for their G-Spot toy.

OhMiBod has partnered with Kandi Burruss, a Grammy award-winning artist and star of cable network Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” for Bedroom Kandi, a line of luxury personal pleasure products.

“Our lives are so hectic that we forget to take time to pamper ourselves,” Burruss said. “The Bedroom Kandi line is designed to fix that. Whether you’re alone or with a partner, our products will bring spice, intimacy and fun back into the bedroom.”

OhMiBod founder Suki Dunham said that the six-piece collection includes a dual stim contemporary splash-proof “rabbit” style massager that works with or without music called Happiness & Joy; a splash-proof external massager designed to resemble a powder puff and compact case called Make Me Over; an external waterproof bullet massager called Kandi Kisses; a waterproof couple’s ring called Rise and Shine; a set of four Kegel spheres -called Hold On To Me, and a botanically infused water-based lubricant courtesy of Sliquid.

All of the products are rechargeable, with three of them rechargeable via USB, made of body-safe silicone and come with a standard one-year warranty.

Dunham said that the collection is a true collaboration in which both entities’ brands remain visible.

“Kandi and I met a couple of times to discuss general features, materials and design ideas,” Dunham said. “We then took that to our designer and put together a design review proposal. From there, we iterated a couple of times and then finalized on the products to include in the initial launch.”

According to Dunham, the new line furthers OhMiBod’s mission to increase acceptance of personal pleasure and intimate toys.

“Bedroom Kandi strives to be the catalyst for shifting cultural attitudes toward self pleasure and the vital role it plays in one’s sexual health and well being,” she said. “Kandi shares our goal in bringing woman-friendly, body-safe, sex-positive products to the market, and we are proud to partner with her on a fun and playful yet sophisticated line that appeals to such a wide audience.”

The new line will be available in mid-October at MyBedroomKandi.com.

The Breeze Flow is the perfect vibrator to get the job done. The length and straight-forward shape of the vibe is exactly what I look for in a toy — I can tell just by looking at it that this little device is packing a real punch. The Breeze Flow is extremely easy to use, with its push-button control that automatically powers it up. The different speeds offered a variety of enjoyable stimulations and I relished every one! Plus the flowery design etched on its surface gives it a feminine touch that allowed it to fit perfectly into my girly style. The petite and no-nonsense design also makes it very easy to travel with.

The bSwish bCute Curve comes in chic black and deep pink packaging that has a very modern, trendy appeal. I was excited to see what contemporary toy lied within. The brilliant pink color of the silicone really caught my eye and I liked that it came with a pouch that was just the right size to store my new plaything in. The Curve is meant for G-Spot stimulation; however its petite size just couldn’t handle an experienced G-Spot hunter like me. The Curve, in my opinion, is better as a clit stimulator because its vibrations seem to be pinpointed right under the tip. This vibe offered a variety of vibrations and is only powered by a single AA battery to my delight.

The three-piece Nexus G-Play Trio set is a perfect purchase for someone that’s curious about experimenting with anal play. I could see this serving a fun, thrill-seeking couple as a gift from one lover to the other. The box that the set came in is elegantly designed with a black background with subtle accents and colorful fonts on the set’s description and detailed instructions for use. The box is reusable and inside of it is velvet-lined with hollowed to snugly hold each piece. The graduated-size massagers are aptly named G-Play Small, G-Play Medium and G-Play Large. Delivered with batteries included, the G-Play Small and Medium each feature a single powerful vibration and the Large delivers a range of five speeds and vibration rhythms. The sizes were perfect for my anatomy, and the Large massager delivered a range of stimulating sensations and I particularly appreciated its slower, deeper vibrations patterns.

OhMiBod, creator of the original music-driven vibrator, introduced its latest innovation during CES — Body Heat, a personal massager interface that allows users to create their own pleasure with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

Compatible with the entire range of OhMiBod products, Body Heat is the first app designed to remotely control vibrators and is available for $3.99 on the iTunes App Store.

“Body Heat is responsive to touch and movement, leaving control quite literally at the customer’s fingertips,” said Suki Dunham, founder of OhMiBod. “Gone are the days of cycling through speed, intensity and pattern variations. With Body Heat, users can change their experiences on the fly and in real time.”

Designed by a woman, Body Heat is ideal for use both alone and with a partner, the company said. Since vibrators are controlled remotely, couples can add a new element to sex play with an infinite range of vibrations and patterns.

Dunham notes that this exclusive brand of creative freedom is a revolutionary step toward turning OhMiBod’s line of personal massagers into fully customizable self-pleasure devices.

“One of OhMiBod’s key missions is ensuring that customers enjoy new experiences each time they use one of our products,” Dunham said. “Body Heat is a game changer in this regard. It opens the doors to an entirely unique and interactive way of controlling OhMiBod pleasure products.”

I felt good holding this toy in my hands — even with it in the box. Boasting a seal from the Forest Stewardship Council, I knew this toy was all-around earth-friendly — including the attractive recyclable box adorned with green leave designs.

Being solar powered, I wondered if I’d have to leave a vibrator out on my front porch to power it up, however the recharging cell is detachable and super discrete as it’s a flat plastic rectangle with cells that catch not just direct sunlight but will also charge from most light sources. I was amazed to see the LED light glow blue when I set the device on my windowsill.

The silver bullet that attaches to the rechargeable cell via an extra long power cord is extremely powerful and is controlled from the rechargeable cell with setting from “low” to “high.” This vibe’s low setting is strong enough and the turning its intensity up didn’t even make much sense to me. The Solar Bullet on its low setting against my clit made me climax in less than 10 minutes and I’m excited to think that when its power dies I won’t need new batteries or even plug it into the wall.
