$10 Pocket Rocket- Mega Mite Review

The other day when I was writing about my "niche" and my first sex toy experience, I wrote a little about pocket rockets. I thought today I'd bring you a pocket rocket that is both affordable and amazing. But first, what is a pocket rocket?

A pocket rocket is a mini vibrator. Usually they are about the size of your finger and the vibrations are centered at the tip of the vibe for pinpoint clitoral stimulation. Some come with additional sleeves for textured stimulation and they usually only take 1 AA battery. You can get pocket rockets around the $10 range almost anywhere but there is one in particular I really like.

It's called the Mega Mite by Cal Exotics.

The Mega Mite is just over 4" in length and 1" at it's widest point. This is a discreet vibrator because of it's size and because it is so small can fit in your purse easily if you plan to travel. Though the mega mite does not come with additional sleeves it is a standard sized pocket rocket so they can be purchased separately.  I haven't done this because I enjoy the tip.

The tip has 3 soft rubber balls that hug around the clitoris and deliver the vibrations in a delicate way. What I mean is you're not rubbing your sensitive clit with hard plastic nubs until raw; the rubber tips are very soft on the body.

The Mega Mite takes 1 AA battery and when you twist the batteries in place you use the same twisting motion to turn it on/off & increase/decrease the vibes gradually.

So, why is this my favorite pocket vibe so far?
For one, my previous experience with pocket vibes generally consisted of those with thinner plastic. How can you tell? Because the vibe was see-through. Though it's pretty on colored vibes that thinner plastic makes it less durable and as a result I've broken many pocket rockets. (I've dropped them, stepped on them, and my dog has chewed them up!) I've even had a battery melt them! The Mega Mite is made of a very durable plastic. I've had mine for 3 years and not a crack has been made in it. I'm still amazed it's not destroyed after all of this time as I am a major klutz!

The second reason is it is one of the strongest pocket rockets I've ever owned. Similar vibes have left me really wanting stronger vibes but this one is heavy duty; in material and performance. I think the rubber tips have something to do with the strong transfer of vibes.

Third, it's waterproof and non-pourous. I've had similar pocket rockets claim to be waterproof only to find water trapped in the battery pack after use in the tub or shower but I've never had water leak into my Mega Mite vibe.

So it's strong, durable, and affordable; what's the catch? It's hard to clean. That's the biggest complaint I have for it. The nubs are difficult to clean in between. Yup, that's the only issue I have with it. Now I know there are probably better P.R. out there and the best probably cost a fortune but for around $10 or less this is an excellent buy. For these reasons I give it a solid 5/5.

NO JELLY ZONE

I have owned a couple of jelly dildos in the past and the sole reason for their purchase was: cheap. They were the cheapest dildos you could possibly buy. I could literally jump on amazon.com or ebay.com and find one for around $5.


When they arrived I soon discovered the quality of jelly dildos. They damage easily and most often come already damaged. They attract lint worse than a white couch will with a black dog sleeping on it. The biggest worry however was the way it felt inside of me. It literally feels like it is burning my insides if I use a jelly dildo. I've gotten about 20 seconds in until I stopped and threw all of my jelly dildos out. I had no idea why it was hurting me and just figured I was allergic to jelly.

Well, I guess you could say I am allergic to jelly. Products that are made from jelly aren't safe for ANYONE. Jelly toys are notorious for being unsafe and are highly recommended to be used with a condom only; for one reason is because it is porous and for the second is to help protect from a reaction. Alot of people experience the same burning sensation when using jelly toys. Jelly toys release phthalates and other chemicals into the body. Phthalates disrupt the body's endocrine system and can cause a whole mess of trouble within the body. For more information on phthalates check out this article on the breastcancerfund.org website http://www.breastcancerfund.org/clear-science/chemicals-glossary/phthalates.html .

Luckily there are alot of manufacturers and stores that have toys that are phthalate free and are advertised as such so you don't have to worry about what you're getting. (Yes, Silicone, Glass, Wood, Steel and other materials are phthalate free.)

So with that being said, I extremely discourage the use of jelly products and I will not be reviewing ANY toys made of jelly or other hazardous materials.

My First Toy Experience

I was sitting here on the couch this morning thinking about my new blog and wondering to myself, hey chick what's your niche? What will make you stand out from the rest of the sex toy review bloggers? Well LuckyLady that's a good question...(yeah...I just talked to myself). To be honest that question is alot harder than I thought it would be.

In a world that has some fantastic and popular sex toy bloggers it's hard for me to figure out where I stand out from the rest.

I joined my first sex toy review program late last year and I immediately fell the fuck in love. Up until then I'd owned a few toys but they were utter crap. Yeah, I was one of THOSE people. The people who go online and think I NEED A VIBRATOR STAT AND ANYONE WILL DO AS LONG AS ITS UNDER $10! That's pretty terrible right?

I remember my first toy. It was attrocious. My ex boyfriend bought it for me. It was a standard straight vibrator with 3 sleeve attatchments, made of a terrible material I can't for the life of me remember, and it glowed in the dark. The attatchments were all textured with the most annoying texture ever made (prickly/stabby/irritating) and it almost entirely turned me off to vibrators. It was so uncomfortable and I had a time trying to even get it inside of me. It was seriously a vibrator you buy for someone you hate. At the time I was 18 and didn't know anything about sex toys. I didn't know there was a community of reviewers that tried to warn people like me about material safety and tried to give us an honest opinion on the performance to help people like me make a good purchase. I was one of those people (the boyfriend too as he bought it) who wanted something cheap and what we ended up with was something cheap. Boy how we went wrong with that.

Here it is! Scary, right?

For years after that I tried to use household items when I was desperately horny. I tried the ends of hair brushes, taper candles, and sitting on the washing machine. Thinking about that now it was pretty hilarious and did nothing for me. Eventually I went out and got a pocket rocket and pocket rockets were the only toys I invested. They're small and under $10. It was a step up from that terrible 3 sleeve contrapment from hell I'd owned earlier and I to this day won't turn down a good pocket rocket, but little did I know about the world of G-spot vibrators, Silicone Dildos, Kegel Balls, or even glass toys!

I was introduced to this world by my own curiousity late last year and my eyes are now open. I can see hallelujah! I'm like a damn kid in a candy shop I want everything I see!

So, after a few months of reviewing for a prominent website I've decided to go into blogging about these toys. Maybe I can help someone who was just like me. I was totally uneducated on quality and looking for a cheap buy. There are a ton of great toys out there that are super affordable but you have to KNOW what to look for. In most cases however quality is determined by what you can afford. It's difficult to spend $10 and expect a toy to last a long time. Though sometimes you may spend $100 and be dissatisfied with the product. But, that's why there are reviewers like me who can give info about the toy that isn't found on the manufacturers page in hopes that we can answer any questions you may have or humor your curiousity.

So what is my niche? Well I'd like to think of myself as the average shopper. I want quality but I also don't want to break the bank so I can relate with many savvy shoppers. I'm still learning as every reviewer is when they try a new product, so I have room to grow and educate. I'm sex positive, pro-gender equality, pro-sexual orientation equality and even though I'm a "cisgender" heterosexual female I'm willing to search products to help other folks fill their sex toy needs or point them in the right direction. My niche is, well, evolving.

PicoBong Moka Review

So, from my last review I told you how much I didn't care for the Posh Teaser 4's silicone but the curve of the tip was nice for G spot stimulation. Today I've got another G-spot toy made of silicone I want to talk about. I've been using this one for the past couple of weeks now and it's one of my most used toys currently.

Yesterday I made a post about one of LeLo's products, the antibacterial toy cleaner. This toy I'm about to review is made by LELo but before I get started let me introduce you to LELO. LELO is a Swedish brand of luxury adult products. The quality of their toys are superb and one of the best brands in my opinion you could own. Their toys are made of excellent quality silicone, metal, or even gold. No joke, they have a 24kt dildo on the market. Their sex toys usually are in the $100+ range (excluding the 24kt dildo which I've seen in the tens of thousands of dollars range and other products such as accessories i.e. the toy cleaner which is less than $10). That being said, LeLo so generously developed an affordable line for those of us who can't regularly dish out cash but want a good quality toy. This line is called PicoBong.

The toy I'm reviewing today is LELO's PicoBong Moka.

This is a g-spot vibrator with a prominent curve that lands straight on the g-spot. The curve is my friend and my enemy. I have a low pubic bone so the curve makes it a.) difficult for entry and b.) impossible for thrusting. However, regardless of this once I carefully angled it inside of me it landed perfectly on my gspot and I didn't require a thrusting action to orgasm. I can rock it if I like and still get maximum g-spot pleasure.


The pressure I can apply with this is great enough that I don't even have to use the vibrations to get off with it. If I want I can do with or without the vibrations and still rub my g-spot til orgasm. (Well, I use clitoral vibrations to get off but rubbing my G-spot with my clit makes my masturbation session set off like fireworks.

The Moka is also not a girthy toy which is a huge plus for me. I don't really care for girthy toys so I tend to go for the thinner ones. The Moka is 8” in length. I’d say about 4.5” is insertable. After 4.5” you run into the buttons and after that is the plastic battery pack. The G spot curved tip is 1.5” long and 1” wide. The neck of the Moka is the thinnest part and falls just under 1” thick. The widest part is where the button area is and is 1.5” thick.
  The Moka is also waterproof. This makes it great for use in the shower/tub/jacuzzi. The shaft is made of silicone while the base is made of plastic. The silicone is great quality. Like I said a moment ago this is an affordable alternative to their pricier toys so you can notice a difference in the silicone quality in comparison to their luxury toys but the quality is still great. It's smooth, there's no drag to it whatsoever, and it feels luxurious.

The Moka takes 2 AAA batteries and has 3 buttons on the side at the base of the vibrator. Two of the buttons turn up/down the vibes while the 3rd changes the mode. It has 12 different patterns of vibrations. The vibrations aren't weak they're very impressive in strength and the patterns are unique and exciting. Alot of the patterns have escalation and deescalation modes while the others may be a bit random. Unlike the Posh Teaser 4 when you turn off the vibrator it doesn't save the last function; instead it starts you back at the beginning when you turn it back on. But the difference between the two is the Moka has 2 additional patterns than the Posh which only has 10 patterns total. Because the silicone is a much better quality than the Posh it's super easy to clean. I use a toy cleaner wipe and I don't have any issue with resistance or drag.

So, what is my overall opinion of the Moka? I think it's a great quality toy. Although the curve is very prominent and can be slightly uncomfortable at the wrong angle for me, the shape is perfect for applying pressure to the g-spot and the material is of a great quality. It's low maintenance to clean and its vibes didn't leave me wanting something stronger. It comes with a 1 yr warranty. It's affordable and altogether a nice vibrator.

PicoBong Moka gets a 4/5. 

Would I recommend this toy? Heck yes I would! The only person I wouldn't recommend this to is someone with a low pubic bone who needs thrusting to orgasm. I'm working around it and I haven't had any issue not orgasming. I think this would be a good toy for anyone who enjoys a good g-spot stimulator.
 

Where's the G Spot?

The elusive G-spot is generally 2'' to 3'' inches past the opening of the vagina. It's a pea sized area (though it expands when stimulated) that may feel spongey to the touch. Motioning in a come hither gesture is the best way to find/stimulate the G spot area with the fingers.

The G spot is in front of the bladder so many who stimulate their g spots experience the feeling like they have to pee. If you get that sensation then you know you've found it. (The pee feeling eventually goes away, replaced with pleasure; i think it may depend on the amount of pressure you're using.)

Though I own a few G spot dildos/vibrators I'm still pretty amateur to G spot stimulation. The whole I have to pee sensation turns me off a bit so I don't push my button as firm when that happens. Supposedly it does go away but I haven't really tried to test that as that sensation just bugs me. I'm pretty dependent on clitoral stimulation to orgasm so I do g spot stimulation to create a mind blowing orgasmic combination.

Regardless, I'm happy I'm exploring it. I've been stimulated numerous times of course during sex. My husband has a slight curve to his penis that is perfect for g spot stimulation. So I've been spoiled for years by his penis's talent. But alas I've still had the whole I gotta pee sensation and changed position many times to avoid it. So I plan on taking that farther and seeing if it really does go away. The worst that could happen is I pee myself. LOL!

Posh Teaser 4 Review

The Posh Teaser 4 by Cal Exotics is going to christen this blog as the first review I post. So here goes...

So, I got the Posh Teaser 4 because it's made of silicone which is one of the best materials you can get in a sex toy. Silicone is body safe and non-pourous so you can clean it and use it with other partners or between the vagina and anus without worrying about transferring bacteria. The second reason I got the Posh Teaser 4 is because I was curious about the texture and shape of the vibrator. It has 3 large bumps along the shaft and a subtle curve at the end for G spot stimulation. The bumps are noticeable when inserted and provide nice stimulation. The curve at the end is subtle but teases the G spot. It's not as prominent as some G spot stimulators but it's still very nice. I own a couple G spot toys that have a very prominent curve and while they are excellent for the G spot they get caught up on my pubic bone. It's a nice change to have something that I can thrust with and not have to worry about hitting bone.

The Posh Teaser 4 has 10 patterns of vibrations. The patterns are:
1. Vibrate (HIGH)
2. Vibrate (MEDIUM)
3. Vibrate (LOW)
4. Gradient Burst
5. Intermittent
6. Surge
7. Inta-surge
8. Even Step
9. Roller Coaster Spurt
10. Pulsate

The vibrations are pretty standard strength in comparison to most vibrators. They're strong and not shaky but the levels of intensity are average. They're not uncomfortably strong and also not too weak.
 I didn't have any issue getting to orgasm with this vibrator.

The Posh Teaser 4 measures 6.75” in length, 5” insertable, and is 1” thick. It is not a girthy toy and is perfect for those who prefer thinner toys, like me. The base of the toy where the battery compartment is (takes 2 AAA batteries) has the turn on/off button. This button lights up and blinks in rythym with the patterns of vibrations. The vibes are very quiet but this light makes this toy non-discreet if you're using this in a dark room with another person present. (not Dorm Room friendly).

My biggest complaint about this vibrator is the material. I know I said silicone is one of the best but this silicone isn't the best quality. It has a gummy feeling to it and attracts lint as bad as a jelly vibrator would. It also has alot of resistance and drag which makes this a pain for cleaning and storing.

Speaking of storage, silicone toys cannot be stored alongside other silicone toys. This is because the material of both toys will deteriorate. Silicone toys should be stored separately. Likewise, this should not be used with a silicone lubricant for the same reason. Stick with a water-based lube.

The Posh Teaser 4 is also waterproof! This means you can use this in the tub/shower/jacuzzi and not have to worry about it getting damaged. Now, water-based lubricants will not work if used in water. And silicone lube is out of the question since the toy is made of silicone. Try an oil based lubricant if you use this in water so you'll stay lubricated during use and it won't wash away.  Unfortunately it may be difficult to wash it off/out after you're done.

Though I love the texture (bumps and tip) of the Posh Teaser 4, the material is a no-go for me.It has too much drag and attracts lint like crazy. Maintaining this is high maintenance. Because of this I have to say this will not be a favorite of mine. I'd rate it a 3/5.

Would I recommend this toy? Well this definitely wouldn't be a toy for toy snobs. The g spot stimulation is nice and would probably be best for a.) beginners to g spot stimulation and b.) for those who prefer a subtle g spot curve on their toys. So, for those people I would recommend this.
