Toy review

A long time ago, I received a vibrator from a company that markets and sells sex toys, in exchange for a review on the blog and the links you see in this paragraph, which seemed like a fair deal to me. Since my favourite vibe is showing signs of needing a replacement really soon, I looked into their selection of vibrators and chose a bullet, since it seems to be the favourite of many, while I've never even tried anything of the kind.

Still, it has taken me forever to try it out, mainly because I'm so addicted to my favourite vibe that it has taken me a while to sidestep that one enough times to write a fair review of this one.

For me, trying a sex toy once is like not trying it at all. Contrary to what is shown in porn clips, the mere touching of a sex toy to a woman's nether regions will not make her come, and come again, and again, until the sex toy is mercifully removed. It looks delicious but it doesn't work that way. Any sex toy, no matter how good, needs the powerful cooperation of the human mind in order to work. And for that reason, experiences will vary, not only with the toy used, but with the amount of arousal at the time.

Well, I have now used the RO-120mm bullet every now and then over an extended period of time, and here's my take on it.

For starters, it did come with batteries, which may be important if you're a first time sex toy user, but the rest of us, I assume, keep a huge stash of batteries at home (or, indeed, with us) anyway. More importantly, those batteries are of the AAA kind. Watch batteries are so impractical, and expensive, so I try to stay away from those.

Here's an amazing fact: Today is the first time I've changed batteries, in spite of having used it quite a few times by now. My regular vibrator literally eats batteries, so that's a huge plus!

This thing is very static, and for me, being used to bendier and softer stimuli, that took a long time to get used to. It has several modes, but I only use the steady vibration ones anyway. There are three of those, from a mild buzz to a fairly strong one, which suits me perfectly.

There's nothing delicious, nothing unexpected, nothing extra about this toy. However, the fact that it's a very handy size, not very loud, low on batteries and easy to clean, has made it my preferred travel toy. When I travel, I'm almost always with family - and those of you who are regulars to this blog will know that my husband has nothing to do with my toys or my alone playtime. There are no opportunities for long, delicious play - I simply need something discreet to help me get the job done, and this toy does it quietly and reliably.

Too bad it doesn't come with a nice travel bag. Luckily, I happened to have one just the right size. This toy fits very well in my travel toilet bag, and has gone with me on a few trips already... and it will go with me for this upcoming weekend as well  :-)
