Chocolate Tattoos Anyone?

2009-11-09T05:41:00.000-08:00

Guest Review of Chocoholics Edible Tattoo set. Enjoy!

We are busy, busy parents. Which means that when we first opened the chocolate tattoo kit, my husband lifted out the container of body frosting and joked about the birthday cupcakes that were due in our son's class. "A real time-saver!" he said, and then pantomimed dipping a knife in the jar.

We joked about it, in fact, for weeks. Because I just couldn't bring myself to open it. With kids at home, the thought of doing an extra load of laundry because our sheets are smeared with frosting is kind of unimaginable. As is the idea of little footsteps arriving to find a parent covered, nakedly, in chocolate. "Oh, hey sweetie! This fondue just totally got away from us…" But then, well, my husband's sweet tooth got the better of us one night--and we had a really, really good time with the body frosting.

Let me say here: it's not that we used the kit exactly as intended. It became immediately apparent, for example, that the stencils were designed with somebody's taut, young skin in mind. So when my husband tried to brush chocolate over the word "hot," he ended up with a series of illegible blobs--deliciously illegible, of course. We were totally cracking each other up, imaging the twenty-year-olds covering each other's firm, hairless bodies with graffiti in praise of youth: "Your abs are so tight!" But still: even if you abandon the stencils, as we did, there is no getting around the fun of brushing your lover with chocolate and licking it off. It is silly at first, but then exciting. It's the novelty that gets you halfway there, and the deep thrill that takes you home. We had a really, really good time with the body frosting.

And yes, it was messy. Our kitten and kids climbed into bed with us in the morning, and the ten-year-old said, "Um, Mom?" and pointed to a long brown streak halfway down the bed. "Oh," I said. "It's not what you think." But then what could I say? "Ask me when you're 16," I said. "I promise I'll tell you."

Amazing Hot Heart Massager & Sensual Massage Balm Review

2009-10-15T14:13:00.000-07:00

A new review from our favorite anonymous sexy mama!

It was time to try the Amazing Hot Heart Massager and the Intimate Organics Sensual Massage Balm--but who would get the first turn? "Raise your hand if you're a massage therapist," I said, and my husband, who is a massage therapist, laughed and lit a candle.

Now, I have to say, if you're planning a sensual experience with your partner, then you should actually test the Hot Heart beforehand. Because it is so cool that it's actually distractingly cool. It's a pink-gel-filled vinyl heart--it looks like a romantic ice pack--only when you flex the little metal disk inside of it, the surrounding gel turns white and hard and then these crystals spread, as you watch, to the edges of the heart. It's like a stop-action film of an ice age coming, only in reverse. And there we were, naked in the glow of the candlelight, sitting up to say, "That's so cool!" and "Wow, let me see!" I honestly can't imagine how it works. (Afterwards, you boil it in water and it returns to its cool liquidyness, ready for the next use.)

Anyways, once we got over the Chemistry-101-ness of it, we could concentrate on the job at hand, which was pleasure. Now I will say that I had wondered about this massager. Products from sexy stores that are called "massagers" often turn out to be things you're supposed to stick in here or there or put batteries into, and so I didn't want to be stupid about the Hot Heart and miss out on any of its sexier applications. But I am under the impression that it is a massager in the more traditional sense, kind of like hot stones. (Please--someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'll be embarrassed but glad to know.) My husband laid the Hot Heart on the small of my back, where I enjoyed its delicious warmth, while he scooped up some of the buttery massage balm.

Now, again, the distraction factor kicked in for me. We'd gotten the Sensual Cocoa Bean and Goji Berry fragrance, and holy moly--it smells incredibly edible (it's not). But also like something I couldn't quite put my finger on. In second grade I once had a berry lip gloss that came in a little chocolate-shaped pot, and it smelled kind of like that. Also, it suddenly occurred to me, like these Joyva chocolate-covered Raspberry Jelly Rings that we used to get as kids. This was not the sexiest association--despite the name "Jelly Rings"--and so I kept it to myself.

The combination of the Hot Heart, which my husband slid around from spot to spot, and the absolutely delicious fragrance of the balm was divine. My husband's professional opinion was that the balm was a great product: rich and buttery and perfect. And unprofessional me, lying there in a cloud of cake-scented warmth? I could not have been happier. Or more open to his ideas. The kind of ideas that a professional massage therapist doesn't usually think to share with you.

I Rub My Duckie Review

2009-09-24T12:11:00.000-07:00

Written from a mom's point of view and humorous to boot, I give you a candid, thumbs up review of the 3 speed I Rub My Duckie :

So, it's a rubber duck. Okay. But there's something strange about it, if you've got kids--something that feels a little wrong, like you're jerking off with your children's bath toys. Or like you're being infantilized at exactly the moment you want to be most grown-up, which was more or less how I felt about the Winnie the Pooh maternity clothes I kept encountering when I was pregnant. You will want to plan on using it with your eyes closed, unless the sight of that innocently smiling poultry face fills you with inexplicable ardor. Or maybe you want to imagine that you're doing it with Ernie from Sesame Street? Go ahead then and keep your eyes open.

The other problem is that, of course, you're children will see it, and possibly even pick it up, and this will also give you a strange feeling. As will hiding it. "Um, Mom, why is there a rubber duck in this shoe box under the bed?" "That's for my work," I said, and because I write for family magazines, this was actually vaguely plausible. Our kitten batted it around for a while too, but this seemed to do it no harm.

Okay, here's my third and last caveat: if you are a busy person with children at home and approximately 5 minutes of privacy a day, you will need to plan on two preparatory sessions with the duck before you even get around to using it. First there's the getting it out of the box. The Boudoir Essentials wrapping is lovely--so pink tissue-papery and special that it's a shame to tear it--but underneath is the plastic container that seems to be both child safe and adult proof. Maybe a special robot could be designed to open it? I ended up tearing at some of the tape with my teeth and cursing. That's day 1. On day 2, you will insert the batteries, and you will actually need a screwdriver for this little procedure. Not to sound excessively girly here, but I had to dig through my husband's tool box trying to figure out which one to use--in part because I was too proud to say, "Honey, can you help me figure out how to unscrew my new vibrating rubber duck tub toy so I can get the batteries in and jerk off while you vacuum the living room?" Suffice it to say: the batteries were inserted. And I read through the instructions, which are oddly cagey. If it's intended to be a sex toy, why so much talk of "neck and shoulders"? Why pretend that you're using a waterproof vibrating duck on your sore muscles? Is it against the law to be explicit? Would it make it so that you couldn't sell it on Amazon? Probably. But it makes you feel extra sleazy that you're going to be getting off while everyone else is simply working on their tight hamstrings.

On day 3, with the kids off to school and 20 minutes left to me before work, I finally ran a bath, added a dollop of a luscious, faintly apple-scented foaming bath gel, and climbed in with the duck. With only vague images of erotic, macabre electrocution (I have watched way too much Six Feet Under), I pressed the duck's back and he hummed into action like an electric toothbrush; given that everyone in my house uses electric toothbrushes, this could be a great alibi if I ever need one. And you know what? It was absolutely lovely. For a person who learned to come with the shower massager in my childhood home, the warm water is deliciously familiar as an erotic environment. And the 3 speeds of vibration, along with the duck's anatomical flexibility (both his head and tail vibrate) make for what I imagine is a something-for-everyone pleaser. I was in a hurry, and so the duck made succinct work of getting me off, though I imagine that one could spend more time with it. But overall I found it to be an excellent, versatile toy--one that I will use a great deal, I imagine, and one that would be fun to take into the shower with my partner.

That said, I could probably leave it on the rim of the bath and nobody would think twice about it. The kids have a million rubber ducks and, come to think of it, a million vibrating toys. We joked all the time about the vibrating bouncy seat they used as babies ("We'll try it after she falls asleep."). But still. Maybe find a special place to keep it? You just don't want to see your kids touching it. Take my word for it.

New items are still going online weekly, new kits and gift ideas will be posted soon and we still need to find some chestnuts to roast on an open fire.

Thankfully we did have time to stage a fabulous photo shoot with our new cover girl, Kim. She was gracious enough to pose with the Candy Cane by Don Wands. The Candy Cane is now for sale in the boutique. Made of the same glass as Pyrex, it will hold heat or cold and is non-porous. A perfect gift, it comes in a cute red pouch ready for giving!

Fusion Photography out of Panama City Beach did the photography, make-up and hair.

It's chilly outside, how to stay warm inside...

2008-11-02T09:16:00.000-08:00

The fall/winter season is upon us, bringing colorful leaves, crisp air and opportunities to warm things up in new and exciting ways. Try out a massage candle! The warm light from the candle sets the mood and the liquified wax makes a wonderful massage oil. Boudoir Essentials offers two brands to choose from with several scents available with each.

bwarm by bswish massage candles are available in three luxurious scents: rose patchouli, figwood or amber. The amazing thing about these candles is the container. Made of a pliable silicone type material, the casing is designed with one long side for pouring. This candle has a very low burn temperature and is very silky smooth when used for massage. The oils absorb slowly into the skin for maximum massage time.

Sex Kitten massage candles are packaged in cute little tins with lids for easy transport for your next weekend getaway. They come in four edible scents: "Meowgasm|Sex on the Beach," "Purrvert|Strawberry," "Divalicious|Chocolate," or "Sexpot|Cherry". Each candle is scented and has a wonderful flavor infused in it, making massage as tasty as it feels!

The next thing to add to your sensual massage experience is the Hot Heart Massager. With a click of the little metal disk inside, it heats up to soothe tired muscles and pairs well with any of our candles or massage oil. Provide your own at home stone massage! Don't forget the best part - its reuseable! Simple boil the massager for 7-10 minutes to reset it and use it again (and again).

Pair a candle with the massager and you've got a wonderful gift idea for under $30.

Lelo - Lust Objectified

2008-10-19T18:22:00.000-07:00

What's so great about Lelo?
When it comes to making a truly elegant sensual toy that is designed from a sexual health perspective, Swedish designer Lelo to leads the way. The price of Lelo’s products sometimes cause sticker shock, but this truly is a connoisseur’s line. From those who’ve chosen to go with Lelo we’ve read nothing but positive reviews.

The Lineup - Lelo's lineup consists of: Clitoral stimulators including the shiny & decorative Nea, the satin finish Lily, & the opulent Yva along with the new USB charged Mia, perfect for the girl on the go. Insertable small vibes Liv & g-spot shaped Gigi. Larger vibes Elise & Iris. Kegel execisers Luna Balls. The un-powered Ella shaped for g-spot contact.

Design – While most of us make an effort to hide our toys, you might be surprised how much you’ll *want* to show these off. The sleek lines and appropriate curves are, clearly, well thought out. The controls on all of Lelo’s products are intuitive and easy to access with one hand. The shape and materials cut no corners either, with a mixture of soft-touch and glossy plastic. The construction feels solid and does not rattle like many lower quality vibrating products. Plus all Lelo products are phthalate free.

Rechargeable - All of Lelo’s battery powered products are rechargeable. Plus a short charge (about 2 hours) lasts for 4-6hours! (depending on product) Our green side also likes the idea of less batteries being thrown away.

Dual motors – The two larger vibrators, Elise and Iris wield *two* motors to provide sensations unlike any single motor product. The dual motors are effectively utilized, especially in the surging and pulsing modes as they alternate from one motor to the other.

Locking controls – If you’ve ever packed an electronic device with a power switch in your suitcase you’ve likely encountered “accidental activation.” Lelo prevents this by allowing you to easily lock the buttons for travel or whatever reason you might wish it to be temporarily disabled. This function is explained clearly in the instructions.

Quiet – Lelo makes some of the quietest vibrators on the market. Though they can be heard in a quiet room, they’re about the same volume of a cell phone on vibrate. You’re not likely to wake the neighbors, or anyone in the next room, with this one. The larger products are obviously louder than the smaller ones, but all of them are on the quiet side for their class.

Presentation - Each item comes double boxed, a glossy showcase on the outside, and a black, high-density canvas texture box appropriate for storing your elegant item. Open the inner box and you'll find custom molded smoke colored tray with a clear dust cover over the device. Under the tray you'll find the AC adapter for recharging, a satin storage bag with a ribbon drawstring and the instructions/warranty information.

Warranty – Lelo backs their products with a 1 year warranty. This is comforting to know when purchasing an item at this price level. In our dealings with Lelo’s team we’ve always been impressed by their professionalism and courtesy, another comforting factor should you ever need to make use of the warranty.

Lelo. Lust objectified. Who wouldn't love them?

Sex Toy Storage

2008-10-10T13:54:00.000-07:00

You've purchased the item that gives you all the excitement you can handle and you dare not throw it into the some common drawer to be lost. What do to?

There are several sex toy storage options available at Boudoir Essentials - find the one right for you.

ToiBocks

Looking for a great way to keep your private objects private? Put a ToiBocks in your boudoir! This cherry wood, velvet lined container, disguised as a jewelry box holds your more mentionable valuables in the top tray and hides your more personal valuables in the bottom. A magnetic lock secures the tray from prying eyes. The “key” is cleverly disguised as the maker’s brand and stored under the lid so you won’t lose it. Perfect for anyone who shares their home but doesn’t wish to share their toys.

ToiTissue

An equally clever cousin to the Toibocks, the ToiTissue is a multi-function item. Kleenex is stored up top and a hidden compartment slides out to reveal a velvet lined tray for storing your favorite vibe. The ToiTissue does not lock, but it looks so harmless that unless you know what you are looking for, you are not likely to find the tray.

Devine Toy Box

This locking, satin lined box is a delight to the eyes. There are two styles avilable at Boudoir Essentials, pink hearts or urban black. These cases are great for bedside storage that dresses up your decor.

Sex Kitten Storage Pillow

This darling pillow is soft furry black on the outside and when you open it up, it is dramatically light pink satin on the inside. We think the opening is very suggestively sexy, and when zipped up it's very discretely hush-hush. The 12"x12" stash will securely - and decoratively - hold several of your favorite toys, books, condoms, lubes, and extra batteries all in one snuggly spot.

Sugar Sak

New to Boudoir Essentials is the Sugar Sak! Available in Black, Pink and Red and in sizes Large (Black & Red) and X-Large (Hot Pink), these saks have a satin exterior and lint free lined interior. The interior is also coated with Bioshield 75 - an exclusive, invisible EPA approved coating that inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, mold, mildrew, yeast and viruses in the bag. The Bioshield 75 protects up to 50 washes! (Yes, it is WASHABLE!)

With all of these wonderful choices, how can you settle for anything less?

A little french for your Boudoir....

2008-09-24T14:35:00.000-07:00

In the past week we have added a few new items to the boutique. There is the SaSi, the WeVibe and a couple of new flavors (chocolate & cherry) under Sex Kitten Massage Candles.

A recently we got a box in that literally had me grinning at the sight of it. Fresh from France, Maison Close. This luxury line of lingerie and accessories is stunning. It really looks as good in person as the photos suggest.

Le Petit Lecon - to help tame those unruly passions. This wooden ruler is in metric and the silky tassel at the end reminds you that its not just for measuring.
Les Poignets D'Amour - cuffs made of lace and satin to confine jealous desire. These lacy cuffs are super comfortable and go straight from a night out on the town to a night in the bedroom.
Le Colin Maillard - to dim the sensation of sight is to heighten that of caress. With lace covering the eyes and long strips of satin to tie with, this gorgeous blindfold does not so much blind as heighten the sensation of touch and dress up the wearer.
Les-Suivez-Moi Jeune Homme - Come, chase me and tie me up. Satin ties that beckon to be used and pair well with Le Colin Maillard.
Le Petit Secret - its not naked enough. If you've ever felt overdressed, Le Petit Secret is for you. Made simply of three bands, all the important areas of consideration are accentuated for your lover.
And from the Louisa line, Serra Taille Waist Cincher and thong. Both of these beautiful pieces will heat up the upcoming cold nights. Made of satin , both the waist cincher and thong exhibit the utmost in quality and design. The Louisa thong has a naughty zipper down the middle to make the most chaste garments decidely ...unchaste.

Boudoir Essentials is proud to announce that we are the only US based website to offer Maison Close! This luxury line comes straight from France and each piece is wrapped in tissue paper and boxed, ready for gift giving.

Incognito, anyone?

2008-09-14T09:28:00.000-07:00

I've heard buzzing about incognito items lately. And no wonder! They are the best of both worlds - clever undercover vibrators parading about as something else, lipstick perhaps? If this sounds like something on your "must have" list, Boudoir Essentials has you covered!

First on the list is the lipstick vibe. This is the ultimate in travel incognito! It looks just like the perfect shade of magenta complete with cap, but packs a lovely vibrating punch in 2 speeds.

Next up in the category of camouflaged toys is I Rub My Duckie. Made by Big Teaze toys, this duckie is perfect for relaxing in the tub. I Rub My Duckie comes in a few different colors and styles to match any decor. Purple, anyone?

Last, but certainly NEVER least, the vibrating shower scrunchie! Featured in iVillage as a favorite, this scrunchie makes shower time a lot more interesting solo or with a partner.

Purchase any of the above items in the Boudoir Essentials Boutique and receive 10% off by entering coupon code SAVVY (Good till Oct. 15th) at checkout!

Sasi - A New Era in Toys

2008-09-07T11:52:00.000-07:00

Greetings!

Every once in a while something truly innovative emerges in the world of sensual toys. Something that really adds to the market and doesn’t just make minor improvements in shape or function, but is completely different. This is the case with French toy designer JeJoue’s latest product – SaSi. It’s not just another vibe. In fact it’s rather difficult to describe SaSi without showing it to someone.

The item does have a vibration function (it would have been negligent not to include the basics.) But it’s more like a little robotic finger. It’s truly a clitoral stimulator as it essentially “massages” that area with a very natural up-down motion with a little bit of arching and circling. This is the closest we’ve seen to automated cunnilingus. It may even be a useful tool for “demonstrating” to the unlearned what kind of motion is effective, and where. The massaging nub moves underneath an elastic silicone cover stretched over the bottom of the device.

As for the controls, we strongly recommend reading the brief manual included as the controls are fairly intuitive, but they’re also context sensitive and not immediately obvious. On the top of SaSi you’ll find 5 buttons: a middle “start” button and 4 arrows pointing each direction. There are two lights that illuminate to tell you whether SaSi is operating in “Favorites” or “Customize” mode. When you use SaSi in the “Customize” mode it learns what motions you spend the most time on and adds the 5 most common to your “Favorites” for quick access at your whim. The speed of the movement and intensity of vibration are controllable in either mode.

This toy is the most “intelligent” we’ve seen so far as it actually makes an effort to “learn” about its user. If only it would take out the trash and do the dishes! SaSi is not waterproof, so do not take it in the shower or tub. We’re excited to welcome SaSi as one of our finest luxury items. Boudoir Essentials carries SaSi in three colors - Pink, Purple and Black so that you can choose the color best suited for you.

SaSi, ToiBocks and WeVibe, oh my!

Greetings from the Boudoir Essentials Lounge and top secret headquarters in stormy Florida! (Thanks to Fay!)

The SaSi debuted last week on the website. This little number is just as neat in person as it appears online! When you do purchase it, immediately plug it in and while it is charging, take the time to read the manual and it will give you many happy hours of joy and satisfaction.

The We Vibe is also a hot new number that joined the website shortly after the re-launch. This little number is wearable and hits just the right places! With two vibrating heads to take care of clitoral and G-spot stimulation, you may be wondering why you'd want anything else. Wear it during intercourse and he will benefit as well!

A brand spanking new product that will be joining our All Star lineup in about a week is the ToiBocks. Made of cherry wood and lovingly designed, this product serves a dual purpose - to store your jewelry or other precious items and to store your toys! With a latch that only releases when used with its accompanying magnetic lock, the only one who will find your hidden stuff is you! We will also have a ToiBocks kleenex box if you don't want a jewelry box. It also has the hidden latch released by super strong magnets. I can't wait to show these little numbers at my home parties!

Speaking of connecting with my fabulous customers.....I am in need of product testers/reviewers. Basically, I am looking for honest reviews on any and all of our products. Send an email to proprietress@boudoiressentials.com for more info.

BE ready for fall!

Greetings!

We are back online and ready to swing into the dog days of summer. Watch for several new products that are set to debut in the next couple of weeks including a revolutionary new massager called SaSi, Fun Factory's new line of massage candles called Allume Moi, and great new discrete storage from Toi Bocks.

If you haven't already seen it, check out our newest addition on the site called the We-Vibe. It's a dual motor wearable that provides stimulation both inside and out and is unobtrusive enough that it can be used during intercourse!

We are also planning to expand the lingerie line. Lucy B will be back soon, along with a few new surprises. ;)
