Sex Toy Review: Tenacious Bunny

When the lovely folks at South Coast Pleasures asked me if I'd like to do a review on one of the many sex toys they have to offer, I'll admit, I was a bit overwhelmed. Who wouldn't be? Look at all the wonderfully yummy things there are to choose from. My mind quite literally went into sensory overload imagining all the wonderful ways I could pleasure myself with any number of the toys they have to offer. I was stumped. What, oh, what was I going to choose? But with a little help from my friends, I settled on the Tenacious Bunny by California Exotic Novelties, and I must say, I'm very happy with my choice.

I have the good fortune to be in the midst of a loving, intimate, deep, personal and emotionally fulfilling relationship; a long distance relationship. And long distance relationships if handled with love and care can be just as rewarding as the "real" thing, but let's face it, the man you're longing for--to touch you, to taste you, to make love to you--is thousands of miles away, and any chance of "real" physical contact between the two of you is unfeasible. It's a hard situation to be in, but not a hopeless one because the mind is a powerful thing, and with a little bit of imagination, a good dose of fantasy and the aid of some salaciously wonderful sex toys, he can be as close to you as you want him to be.

So, with the image of him--the man I long for--playing through my mind, I cut the lights, and began undressing myself slowly, letting my fingers move gently over my body, imagining his fingers teasing my flesh as he undressed me. Fully naked and faintly flushed, I pulled out the pretty purple bunny and with my insides subtly throbbing I settled into bed.

I like to take it slow, to tease myself--my nipples, the underside of my breasts, my belly, my inner thighs--slowly working myself up to a fever pitch. And since my Tenacious Bunny holds charge for over an hour (and miracle of miracles, is rechargeable, that means no batteries ladies ), I was free to tease myself as long as I wanted.

This tenacious little bunny has two settings for vibrating intensity, LO and HI, and with it set on LO (and I should mention that on any setting–HI, LO, SPIN, REV--the Tenacious Bunny isn't quiet, it's actually rather loud ), I started at my mouth. I ran the head delicately across my lips, imagining my lovers cock caressing the soft skin, moving lower, over my chin, down my neck, and across my breasts before stopping to circle the hard tip of my right nipple with the smooth head. My nipple ached to be touched, and when I couldn't stand the teasing any longer, I slid the head over my nipple, imagining my lovers tongue sliding over the hard tip. The soft vibration of the LO setting against the sensitive skin of my nipple was incredible, and the subtle throbbing wasn't quite so subtle anymore.

I dragged the vibe down over my ribs and across my tummy, my thighs spreading wider as I moved down to trace the crease between thigh and pussy before moving in to run the tip of the vibe between the lips of my pussy. It felt incredible and judging from the way the tip slid easily between the swollen lips of my pussy, I was more than ready for penetration.

I closed my eyes, and as I slowly eased the Tenacious Bunny inside me, I let the image of my lover fill my mind–his hips cradled between my parted thighs, his weight pressing me into the firm mattress, his cock, so impossibly hard, slowly pressing into me, filling me.

Once the vibe was fully inside, I slid my fingers along the end and pressed the SPIN button, and the shaft and ring of pearls at the end of the shaft started to rotate inside of me. It was an interesting feeling, and that combined with the mild vibration of the bunny's ears fluttering against my clit was quite pleasant. But nothing could have prepared me for what happened when my finger slid up and switched the vibration from LO to HI. I came. Hard. Instantly. My back arched up off the bed, and my knees snapped together, trapping the vibe inside me. It was incredibly intense. And amazing. I was in awe. I'm still in awe. I've never been one to come quickly, it takes work, and I don't mind that because the best things usually do, but the Tenacious Bunny, showed me that sometimes the best things can be achieved with minimal effort.

So, all in all, the Tenacious Bunny is a very good choice for any woman, but more specifically, for women who like the feeling of being penetrated, but can't achieve orgasm without clitoral stimulation. The shaft is not overtly big, I felt it fit very comfortably and provided you're properly aroused, it's very easy to insert. And with the controls located on the bottom end, it doesn't take a lot of effort to change the settings when you feel you're ready for the shaft to rotate and a bit stronger vibration. The fluttering ears are heavenly, but if you're one of those women who find any stimulation to your clit after you've come uncomfortable, you're going to want to make sure you master either switching from HI to LO or turn the vibration off completely because it is very intense. And best of all, it's rechargeable, and if fully charged, it can and will last a bit over an hour. My only complaint would be the noise level, it's certainly not something you'd be able to use discreetly because the noise will draw attention. But personally, I thought a little noise was a small thing compared to the enormous pleasure the Tenacious Bunny brought me.

Vibrator Materials and Care

There are many types of materials used to make vibrators. Each one offers a different appearance and sensation, and selecting the right one for you will enhance your experiences with your toy. Also, different materials require different care when it comes to cleaning. While you can play it safe and use Sex Toy cleaners, some also offer other options for caring for your toy. Here is a run down of the different types available as well as some basic tips for caring for each kind.

Plastic: The most traditional material used to make vibrators and generally the least expensive; they provide a more intense vibration because of plastics ability to transfer the vibration from the motor so effectively. Plastic vibrators can be cleaned using soap and water, rubbing alcohol and sex toy cleaner.

Jelly: Known to be more flexible than other materials, jelly vibrators are often a favorite among vibrator users and makers. It is an easy material to work with, therefore the styles and textures are endless. While still firm enough to mimic an erect penis, jelly is soft and smooth and makes for a flexible sex toy that penetrates easily. Jelly toys can be cleaned using a mild soap with water or sex toy cleaner.

Latex: Often used to make realistic sex toys, latex is firmer than jelly but considerably softer than plastic, therefore making for a vibrator that is a tad more ‘lifelike’ than some of the other materials. One note about latex; a small percentage of people are known to have an allergy to latex, therefore, if you have had problems after contact with latex products in the past; be sure to choose a toy made from another material. These toys can be cleaned using mild soap and water or sex toy cleaner.

Cyberskin: Possibly the most lifelike material, Cyberskin comes closest to imitating the look and feel of real skin. This material has the ability to adapt nicely to your body temperature; that combined with its exceptional softness, makes for an incredibly realistic experience. To keep its texture, Cyberskin toys are sold with a special cleaning solution as well as Cyberskin Renew. These toys may also be cleaned using mild soap and water.

Silicone: Exceptionally durable, toys made from silicone tend to be long lasting and easy to care for. This material offers a varying degree of softness, catering to all types of preferences. One of its best selling points is its ability to be cleansed with boiling water, all types of soaps or sex toy cleaner without any visible wear. They are even dishwasher safe!

Glass: Though sometimes more expensive than vibrators made from other materials; glass vibrators offer a truly smooth and sensuous experience. More durable than you would normally expect from glass, these vibrators are generally made of Pyrex or ‘e-glass’ and are not only able to adapt for your body heat, but can also be heated or cooled to varying temperatures to offer a variety of sensations. Glass toys are easy to clean using soap and water.

Some Extra Things to Keep in Mind
Once you have selected your toy, there is nothing greater than the sweet anticipation of its arrival at your doorstep! Save yourself the disappointment of not being properly prepared for its arrival, by making sure that you have covered all of the necessary bases. Some of the things to remember:

Batteries: Vibrator battery requirements vary from model to model, so make sure that you double check what type of battery you will need when ordering your toy. South Coast Pleasure offers detailed product descriptions which include battery requirements, making it easy for you to be prepared for your toy. Should you forget to check when ordering; this information can also be found on the packaging.

Lubrication: Even those of us who have been given the nickname of ‘wet and wild’ do need some added help when it comes to the department of lubrication! Whether you have purchased a traditional vibrator or an anal vibrator, it is always a good idea to have some lubrication on hand (no pun intended!).

Water based lubrication is your safest bet when it comes to toys as it works well and will not damage any of the materials that toys are made of. As well, water based lubricants will not stain sheets and clothing, offering worry free enjoyment!Some of our Water Based Lubricants include: Astroglide Liquid, Pjur Woman Body Glide and Doc Johnson’s Anal Lube.
South Coast Pleasure also carries Flavored Water Based Lubricants such as Climax Fruit Bomb Lubricants.

Now that you have been schooled in the basics of choosing your vibrator, the only other advice that we can offer is to relax and enjoy. Vibrators are a wonderful source of gratification for you and even your partner and can offer you an endless amount of erotic pleasure and lasting orgasms. They are a great way to explore your sensuality and not only help you learn what your body enjoys and needs to reach maximum sensual fulfillment, but also to teach your partner what it takes to bring you to the brink of ecstasy.

Vibrator Buyers Guide: Tools to Help Choose the Best Vibe for You

Before being blessed with a job that offers up an endless supply of vibrators, I too was a daunted shopper who wasn’t sure which to choose. With all of the different types out there it can be difficult to know which one to buy—are you a jelly girl? Or are you looking for something a little firmer? Are you looking for a traditional vibrator, or the added zing that comes from one of the Rabbit series vibes? This guide is sure to make you a vibrator connoisseur and give you the knowledge needed for you to choose the best vibrator for you and whoever you play with!

There are many different types of vibrators and one way to narrow down the choice is by deciding what uses you’d like the vibrator for, for instance; if you are looking for penetration and want something that vibrates as opposed to a dildo (see also our Dildo Buyers Guide), you may prefer a Traditional Vibrator. If it is a G-spot orgasm that you are after, there are several to choose from curved specifically for finding and tickling your G-spot. Read on for the different types and you will be well on your way to finding your dream vibrator!
Traditional VibratorsA traditional Vibrator is made with basic pleasures in mind—excellent for the sex toy novice. Built for penetration and some clitoral action as well, these tend to be sometimes more streamlined in size (though large ‘fantasy size’ are available for the brave!)
Some of our Traditional Vibrators include: Impulse Slimline, Silver Elegance, Slim Jim, Pink Jelly Multi-speed, Royal Swirl, Royal Sceptor, Black Velvet and for the brave: Cherry Scented Vibro Dong (this monster measures a full 8.5 inches in length with a 2 inch girth!!)
Dual Action Vibrators
These vibrators have become more popular since the television show Sex and the City devoted almost an entire episode to the Rabbit Pearl. Dual Action vibrators may look like a lot of bells and whistles, but if you are looking for intense sensation, then this is the category for you! Designed to offer clitoral and vaginal stimulation, they are built with a clitoral stimulator which is attached to a rotating and vibrating shaft. These vibrators offer pleasure inside and out, making for a lot of bang for your buck!
Some of the Dual Action Vibrators available are: Impulse Jack Rabbit, Jack Rabbit, Decadent Indulgence Hummingbird, Deluxe Rabbit Pearl, Pearl Butterfly, Water Gems Waterproof Bunny and the Colt Rotating Beaded Probe (also great for anal play).

G-Spot Vibrators
Designed with a curve, these vibrators are made to seek and stimulate the G-Spot which is located on the upper, front wall of the vagina (about 2 inches in, and towards the stomach). While not all women feel the same sensation from this spot—it sure can be fun trying! The G-Spot vibrators are curved to maximize this pleasure, but can be used for clitoral stimulation as well.
Our G-Spot Vibrator collection: Generous G-Spot Vibrator, Jessica’s Strobing Probe, Micro-G Opulent Massager, Patchy Paul 11, Temptress’ G-Spot Vibrator, Venus Waterproof Silicone, Waterproof Crystal Nubby G
Clitoral Vibrators
Most women need external clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm; very few are able to climax using penetration alone. If it is clitoral play that you are after, there are a variety of Clitoral Vibrators to choose from. These tend to be smaller in size which is just fine for the purpose that they serve. They also offer a more intense vibration than some of the other types that I have mentioned. Aside from mind blowing orgasms, another perk of a Clitoral Vibrator is the portability—most are discreet enough for use almost anywhere and are easily incorporated into sex play with a partner. We also carry a couple that are incognito; disguised as a lipstick and a key chain—perfect for your purse!
South Coast Pleasure offers these Clitoral Vibrators: South Coast Waterproof Pocket Rocket, Classic Pink Pocket Rocket, Fukuoku 9000, Passion Flower, Impulse Wireless Key Chain, Secret Pleasures, The Tongue 11, Waterproof Contoured Pearl, Impulse Silver Egg, Silver Bullet and; for both his and hers pleasure: Lilac Ele (offers clitoral stimulation as well as vibrations for his pleasure as well!)
Anal Vibrators
These vibrators are slim in size and usually seamless to offer safe play for the beginner or novice. Anal Vibrators also vary in length and come in the form of ‘butt plugs’ as well; meant to stay inside while leaving your hands free to devote to other pleasure seeking parts! These can also be left inside while you engage in vaginal intercourse for the excitement of double penetration.
Our Anal Vibrator Selection consists of: Backdoor Beaded Rotator, Colt Beaded Probe, Futurotic Velvet Anal T, Tantus Zing Wireless Vibrating Butt Plug, and Slim Jim Vibrator.
Hands Free Vibrators

Dildo Materials and Care

As you have read, the array of Dildos is endless, and that not only counts for the styles, but also the various materials they are made from. Each material brings a different feel and texture to the dildo and they vary in durability and care. Those who opt for a Non-Vibrating Dildo are usually after a realistic experience, therefore making materials such as Cyberskin or Ultraskin a great choice. At the same time though, the super realistic feeling of these materials may involve abit more upkeep than you were looking for making a silicone sex toy a better choice for you. While all sex toy materials vary in cleaning requirements, they can all be cleansed using Sex Toy Cleaner—a safe option no matter what type of dildo you choose. I will go over each type of material available and their specific care requirements to help you in the final stages of choosing the best dildo for you and your lifestyle.
Cyberskin/Ultraskin: Made to feel as soft and look as real as human skin and because of its ability to adapt to body temperature; these materials are a favorite among those looking for a realistic dildo experience. To maintain its softness, abit of extra care is required, so is the reason that Cyberskin and Ultraskin products normally come with a supply of cleaning solution as well as special talc (Cyberskin Renew). Harsh detergents are not recommended for this material, though a mild soap and water should be fine as would be sex toy cleaner.
Jelly: Soft, flexible and easy to work with, Jelly Dildos are available in many colors and styles. Sex toys made of jelly offer a smooth and silky feel that doesn’t compare to any of the other materials. Incredibly pliable, these adult play toys offer the ability to be as firm or soft as one would need for excellent penetration. Jelly dildos can be cleaned using either Sex Toy Cleaner or a mild soap with water.
Plastic: Durable and relatively inexpensive, plastic makes for a hard and smooth exterior and is often used for making anal beads and plugs. Easy to care for, you can clean your plastic dildo using sex toy cleaner, soap and water or even rubbing alcohol.
Silicone: Dildos made from silicone are an excellent choice for those who crave the lifelike feel of a penis without the extra care that is required for those adult play toys made of Cyberskin. Silicone, though not exactly as realistic as Cyberskin and Ultraskin, comes pretty close. These toys offer great satiny feel, firmness and long lasting durability as well as easy care. Silicone dildos can be cleaned almost anyway imaginable—sex toy cleaner, soap and water, rubbing alcohol or even a trip through the dishwasher!
Latex: Offering a less expensive but equally enjoyable dildo experience; latex is a nice choice, with all kinds of styles available. In the event that you are planning to share your latex toy; a condom is recommended as latex is abit porous and not as easy to clean as other materials and may hold bacteria when not well cleaned. Preferred cleaning methods for latex include Sex Toy Cleaner or mild soap and water. Also, while latex provides a pleasurable feeling, it is a material that has a reputation for causing an allergic reaction to a small percentage of people, therefore, if you have experienced any symptoms after use of other latex products in the past, this may not be the best alternative for you.
Glass: A truly decadent and sexy choice; Glass Dildos feel soft and smooth and are aesthetically pleasing. Generally made form Pyrex or ‘e-glass’, these sex toys are far more durable than one would expect; even able to tolerate being heated or cooled to varying degrees while remaining chip/scratch resistant and safe. Glass Dildos are also easy to care for using Sex Toy Cleaner, soap and water.
Extras to Enhance Your Dildo Experience
With your Non-Vibrating Dildo selected, you are almost ready to enjoy the fulfillment that one of these erotic sex toys can bring—almost! There are a couple of extra things that you should keep in mind when using your dildo:
Lubrication: Since the primary use for dildos is penetration, it is a good idea to have a water based lubricant on hand and an absolute must if you are using your dildo for anal play. A water based lubricant is not only effective, but it is also safe for use on all types of dildos. It will also not stain your sheets or clothing leaving your mind free to focus on your enjoyment and be a sloppy as you wish! South Coast Pleasure offers a large variety of water based lubricants including ones flavored to enhance your experience.
South Coast Pleasures array of Water Based Lubricants include: Astroglide Liquid, Pjur Woman Body Glide, Doc Johnson’s Anal Lube, Climax Fruit Bomb Lubricants (flavored!)
Finally, one last thing to keep in mind before venturing into the erotic pleasures that a Non-Vibrating Dildo can offer is safety. While sharing your dildo with a partner (or two!) is a wonderful way to explore your sexuality, making sure that your dildo is clean is key—especially when using it for both anal and vaginal penetration as bacteria is easily transferred this way. Ensure that your dildo is properly cleaned and remember that much like a penis—a dildo will still feel great with a condom on and will make for a safe and stress free encounter.
