First of all, the packaging is a cute little box and I love the logo design of Sliquid products. (You get double the amount packs that are shown in photograph.)

It contains 12 packages of 5 mL (.17 oz) lubricants, two of each kind. Here’s the types of lubricants included:

Sliquid H2O is a water based lubricant that feels quite like thick water. It’s not greasy, oily or sticky. It’s great for any lubrication and mimics natural bodily lubricant/fluid.

The Sliquid Sassy and H2O lubricants are both water based, but Sassy has additional plant cellulose to create a thicker consistency, geared for anal play. It doesn’t have any desensitizing/numbing agents, because those are dangerous (you wouldn’t be able to feel damage being done until it’s too late).

The silicone based lube, Sliquid Silver, had a runnier consistency and lasted longer than the other, water-based lubes. It also has a slightly oilier feel to it. Don’t use it with silicone toys as it might damage them. It is safe to use with other materials: latex, plastic and rubber (so are the water-based lubes). It can be cleaned up with soap and water.

The Sliquid Swirl lubes that are flavored are wonderful. The tastes are really flavorful without being overpowering. I like them all: cherry vanilla, blue raspberry and the green apple. They taste exactly like what they are supposed to. The flavors add a fun taste to any body play while also being safe to lick (err, ingest).

I love Sliquid lube because it is natural and safe. The products are “always FREE of DEA, gluten, glycerine, glycerol, sorbitol, & sulphates. 100% Vegan Friendly.” The products are non-staining and easy to clean up with soap and water. The lubricants feel similar to natural body lubrication. They do not cause UTIs or yeast infections. Win, win, win!

What more could you want? Since I never use much lube, I like the Sliquid Lube Cube because of the sample sizes and the variety. I just love Sliquid because it’s everything I want and expect in my lubricants. Thanks Babeland! xoxo

This set of kegelcisors includes 4 weighted balls and 2 holders. It comes with a small satin storage bag and a cheap-looking display box. Each smart ball has a set of dots on it, which indicates its weight. The balls are interchangeable in the holders, which means you can mix and match weighted balls to slowly increase the strength of your PC muscles.

1 Dot: 25g
2 Dots: 30g
3 Dots: 35g
4 Dots: 40g

The balls are 1.2 inches in diameter and are made of ABS plastic. The holders are made of silicone (or not: read on).

I appreciate the versatility of 2 holders and 4 different weighted balls with this kegelcisors set. It’s a nice idea of being able to interchange the weights as your strength increases. However, there are several  deal-breaking points that unfortunately make this product undesirable.

First I was unimpressed by how thin and flimsy the strings were, because I thought that they would easily tear, like thin rubber bands. Other smart balls have a hoop string, which is more noticeably felt when wearing the ball. These smart balls are also smaller. As seen on the right, the Fun Factory Teneo Duo is clearly bigger than the Hold Onto Me balls. The size and the weight are what I want in smart balls, because I want to feel my PC muscles working and squeezing on them. When the balls are too small they are more likely to get pushed out, as I have experienced often.

Speaking of the holders being rubber band-like, the ‘silicone’ material of the holders doesn’t act like proper medical or food grade silicone (which are the two types that are hygienically safe for sexual usage). The material seems similar to rubber or some cheap combination that is not safe for one’s body. To test the material of the holders, I did a flame test, which is detailed more by Dangerous Lilly. Basically, quality silicone should not melt from the flame of a lighter. And this material did crumble and melt, as shown below.

While this test has been contested, I just don’t want to risk it with my body, ya know? I’d rather play it safe and use quality products that I know are hygienic.

To sum it up: the possibly positive features of the Hold on to Me balls:

• versatility of balls and holders (4 balls, single holder, double holder)
• thinness of strings (?)
• satin pouch

The definite negative features:

• mystery material
• flimsiness
• small size

Dangerous Lilly‘s detailed review for the Hold Onto Me set is very informative as well. Compared to other smart balls, I prefer the others. I own the Fun Factory Teneo Duo and the Je Joue Ami set of smart balls, and I like both. I have heard great things about the Lelo Luna Beads too, so check ‘em out. All of these various kegelcisors are within a similar price range! Thanks Babeland! xoxo

Proper Attire Basic
Proper Attire: Keith Haring, Sheer
Sir Richard’s Condoms: Pleasure Dots

They are all lubricated, latex condoms.The Sampler comes with 2 of each type. With this purchase the following organizations are supported:

• Keith Haring Foundation
  •  supporter of AIDS-related education, research, and care
• Planned Parenthood of America
  • provider and advocator of sexual and reproductive health care
• Sir Richard’s Condoms
  • each condom purchased equals one condom given to a clinic in Haiti

The Proper Attire: Basic style was nice because it was smooth and lightly lubricated. This latex condom gave me no problems and I was happy with how it felt. Each condom is 7-9/10″ long and 2-2/5″ wide (available in a larger width). It felt cool, slick and comfortable. 

The Sir Richard’s Condom that I tried had a dotted texture to them, which was only felt as a slight resistance with moving the dildo in and out. Sir Richard’s Condoms are made from 100% natural latex with casein, meaning they are vegan! It was a nice change from the smooth texture of the other two, but was only a slight difference. Not better or worse.

I was satisfied with these three types of condoms. No complaints, other than the icky latex odor, which is unavoidable, given the material. The lubrication was light on all of these latex condoms, and it was enough to aid the dildos with gliding into my vagina more easily. It felt oily on my fingers, and it lasted for as long as I needed it. As an added tip, before you put on a condom put a dab of lubricant on the penis (or in my case, dildo), as it should aid in preventing the condom from accidentally tearing during sex.

 The benefits of buying these Condoms for a Cause are several, including keeping you and your partner safe, but also helping out important organizations that promote sexual health in the world.

Thank you Babeland for allowing me to review this wonderful sampler! xoxo

The product details for the Ophoria V-Ring are as follows:

I have been wanting the Njoy Pure Wand for ages. What better time to get a sleek, sexy, fancy toy that is worth every penny? The time is Now! This curved, 24 ounce, stainless steel toy is ideal for hitting the G-spot. *shiny*

How sexy is this Lelo Sensua Suede Whip? It’s kinky and red. Luscious! I do not own a whip yet, but I am certainly keen on getting one. This 14 inch suede whip is great for some holiday fun.

Babeland has a wide variety of romantic gifts to check out. Let the shopping commence! xoxo

Why I want to own (and use) smart balls:  they help to strengthen my PC muscles (otherwise known as Kegels), which in turn helps me have more intense orgasms and more enjoyable pleasure and sensitivity.  Developing stronger PC muscles can also help with pregnancy, continence, and self-lubrication.

What are smart balls and Kegel toys: Smart balls, such as the Teneo Uno and Duo (Duo photographed), created by Fun Factory, are silicone smart balls with slight weights inside.  If you jiggle the smart balls you can feel the movement of the weight inside them.  They are not heavy, but just slightly weighted in order to exercise your Kegels.

I do not own a scale to weigh my Duo, but here are the approximate weights I found online:
Teneo Duo: 3 ounces
Teneo Uno: 1.5 ounces

The Je Joue Amis are quite different in weight (Duo: far left; Ami 1-3: left to right):
Ami 1: 1.65 ounces
Ami 2: 2.75 ounces
Ami 3: 3.73 ounces

As you can see, the Teneo Duo is larger than the Amis.  This could be a pro/con to different people.  Maybe the Teneo will stay put more easily, or the feeling of its presence will be more noticeable (thereby getting you wetter and more aroused).  On the other hand, your PC muscles might get a more difficult workout if it is harder to keep the Amis in, because they are smaller but still heavy.  It is hard to say, for I think this is a personal preference matter.  I have had enjoyable experiences using both types.

Other popular PC muscle exercisers include: the Kegelcisor, the Njoy Fun Wand, and Luna Beads.  There are plenty of reviews and information on Babeland’s website about these.

How do you use Smart Balls:
Babeland has a great page about how to use smart balls. In order to insert smart balls, I recommend using (water-based) lubricant, especially for the Teneo smart balls, because they have a textured surface which might make it more difficult to stick them in.  The Je Joue Ami balls have a velvety and smooth texture, so those are easier to slip in (plus they are smaller in size).

As you can see, smart balls have silicone strings on them.  This is to help pull on them as a method of exercise and to pull them out when you want to remove them. Very tampon-esque, except for being silicone and a toy.

All you have to do is pop the smart balls in, and then go!  You could wear them for a walk, for a trip to the store, or while you are doing things at home.  You can wear them comfortably during activities, and you will feel your Kegels work to keep the balls in place.  This can also be fairly erotic as well.  You have a sexy secret that can really get you aroused.

I find smart balls to be important and useful to me for the following reasons: I want stronger orgasms and I also want to prevent continence issues. Wearing smart balls in public really helps me indulge my slightly-exhibitionist fetish.  It is a great workout, and also a great turn-on.  Imagine how your lover(s) will react when she/he/they realize you have a toy inside your vagina while you dine out, or go to the theatre.  It can be highly erotic, yet very functional.

Important care & cleaning information: the Teneo Duo is made of silicone.  It is hypo-allergenic, latex-free, phthalates-free, and non-porous.  This toy is able to be boiled, bleached, or popped into the dishwasher.  Note that because it is made of silicone, it is not recommended to use silicone-based lubricant with it.  As is common with Fun Factory products, this toy comes with a sample pack of water-based lubricant.

I provided some links and basic information about other Kegel exercisers that are out on the market.  It’s up to you–if you are interested–to go out and research what might be the best for you.  Thanks Babeland, for allowing me to review the Teneo Duo!

ChicoBag’s mission “is to inspire humanity to adopt a healthy reusable bag habit by making it easy for people to say no to single-use bags-not just sometimes, but every time! We care about offering effective solutions to better your life and out world!” More information about the ChicoBag Company can be viewed on its website.

When you buy the ChicoBag Eco-Tote from Babeland you get to shamelessly promote your support for Babeland in a sophisticated, eco-friendly fashion.

Here are the bag’s features:
*Bag Size: 18″ x 14.5″
*Pouch Size: 3″ x 4″
*Made of Polyester (durable, washable fabric)
*Holds up to 25 lbs
*Color Options: Pink or Blue
*One-year limited warranty
*Wash cold, hang to dry

Since the polyester bag is all scrunched up into a pouch, it comes out quite wrinkled.  This is only because of the way it’s stored, so I can’t really complain.  I would like to see what the hemp ChicoBags look like when they are unfolded compared to the polyester bags.

This bag is an affordable way to be eco-friendly and support Babeland!  Go on, buy a few and enjoy giving folks a sly grin if they ask what Babeland is (or why your bag is so cute)!  Thanks Babeland! xoxo

e.  For being so powerful, it is really quiet. (My cheaper vibes are definitely noisier.) It is not the most powerful vibrator out on the market, but with this toy you get practical, quality clitoral pleasure.

The Babeland Orchid G is beautifully simplistic.  It reminds me of my first vibrator: simple, plastic, powerful.  This toy is even better than my first because it has a curved head at the tip.  The Orchid is cuter than my old toy as well because it’s sparkly pink (also comes in aqua).  As you can see it matches my bedding. Awesome!

The reasons I love my first vibe and the Orchid are basic: they get me to orgasm, and quite quickly.  These are simple, stiff vibrators that are fun to play with.  The Orchid will easily become my go-to toy because it is enjoyable.  The size works.  The shaft is skinny but the head guarantees a wonderful experience.  The vibrator is quiet enough that the next-door neighbors won’t hear it (and if they do it’s really none of their business. hehe!).

The key feature of the Orchid is the bent head on the end.  This is what reaches the G-spot.  Rocking this head in that area can intensify a lady’s orgasm, or even at times give her the “Big O.”  There are various ways to find and stimulate the G-spot that one can do with the Orchid.

This toy is waterproof and takes 2 AA batteries.  It’s made of plastic and has dimensions of 8 inches by 1 3/8 inches.  The Orchid can be washed with warm soapy water or even cleaned with Babeland’s Toy Cleaner, which I love.

Babeland’s Orchid G is a great, affordable way to find your G-spot.  I highly recommend it to those of you who want a quality vibe without breaking the bank.  It’s love at first …height?  Too corny? Thanks Babeland! Check out Babeland for other quality vibrators ! xoxo
