Pirouette Vibrator Review



Personally, I’ve never been a fan of the straight, traditional vibrators (i.e. non G-spot vibes) because I’ve never really accomplished an orgasm out of them internally, get frustrated and use them for clitoral stimulation instead. So, I try to go for something with a curved tip. But I broke my rule this time for the Pirouette by Pleasure Works. To be honest it’s not all that traditional of a vibrator. 

What sets this apart is the texture. The Pirouette is full of twists and turns around the entire shaft for textured stimulation. In total there are 4 “bulbs” on the shaft that can provide some awesome sensations during internal use. Because the last “bulb” is at the tip I can even rub my g-spot (if I slightly tilt the vibrator inside of me) and though I can only provide light pressure it’s really all I need because the vibrations transfer heavily to that area and throughout the whole vibrator. In total length it is 7 ¼” long. The insertable length is 6”. The width is 1 1/8”. It’s not a girthy toy, less than 2 fingers put together in width, but I like that. I don’t like my toys to be thick as I get resistance when I’m solo so I most enjoy the thinner toys.


















Vibrations. Vibrations. Vibrations. Though they’re not the deep, rumbly type a power queen may require they are strong for what it is. The vibrations are one pattern; you’re standard “hummer” vibe. Pop this on a table and turn it on it will jump all over the place so you could imagine it's strength internally. The lowest setting isn't tickly or rumbly, it's still pretty strong, it starts out at about a medium speed then it gradually intensifies if you increase the power. You can twist the bottom like most traditional vibrators to increase or decrease the vibrations.

The setting control is located at the very base of the vibrator, right after the battery pack opening. The seam is almost invisible and during use can be hard to find because you could accidentally try to twist the battery pack off instead and the seam isn’t noticeable when you run your finger on it. The seam for the battery pack is noticeable. I should mention the Pirouette takes 2 AA batteries to operate. 

This vibrator is NOT quiet. On its lowest setting you can hear the vibes pretty well though not through a closed door. On its highest setting it sounds like a small appliance and can be heard through a closed door. The noise is high pitched and rattley. I don’t have to deal with any issues of making too much noise and getting caught because I don’t have roommates or parents to deal with, just the hubby, so this isn’t a terrible issue for me but could be for someone with preferences of a quiet vibrator. 

The Pirouette is waterproof! There is a clear rubber ring placed where the seam is at the battery pack. This cannot be seen when the pack is closed, only upon opening. But after it Is closed that rubber ring follows the seam perfectly to prevent water leaking in. 

The Pirouette is made of ABS with velvet coating. This means it is phthalates-free, non-porous and generally should be impact resistant however mine has a chip at the tip. Since its non-porous this can be shared with a partner after proper cleaning (use an antibacterial toy cleaner/wipe) or between orifices, however, there is no flared base to prevent this from slipping up inside the rectum so be sure to buy an attatchment if you use it anally. The Pirouette is truly velvety smooth and almost, ALMOST, feels like a quality silicone would; smooth and no drag. It is not plushy. It is hard as a rock and not pliable in the least so account for that if you require something with give. 

Overall: I think it’s a toy worth having in my toy box. It’s not a boring old straight vibrator without bells or whistles, on the contrary the vibrations are strong and the twists are pleasurable and exciting. There’s nothing more that I hate than a toy made of a material that drags and again the Pirouette gets points for having a smooth texture without resistance. I’m not a fan per-se of the noisiness of the toy but the vibrations make up for it and since I don’t have to be quiet it doesn’t affect me. The only qualms I have are the turn dial settings and the chip at the top doesn’t make me believe the material will be all that durable in the future. This may have turned me back on (just a bit!) to non G-spot vibrators. I think the Pirouette gets a 4/5. 

I found the Pirouette at Good Vibrations Sex Toys

New Butt Plug

Well I've been looking for a new butt plug, one of good material quality, and I managed to find one made of silicone for a good price. It's called the Booty Call Booty Teaser by Cal Exotics. I've been trying to weed out the toys with low quality materials that I own so I can replace them with safer toys. I don't mind plastic as much but I'd like to have as many silicone and glass toy replacements as I can get.

My experience with butt plugs is semi-limited. Anal play isn't something I frequently do while masturbating or during sex. For one my husband does not like anal sex. He says I'm too tight and also he has that curve in his penis (which I call my personal G-spot curve) which makes it uncomfortable for both of us. I'm no stranger to anal sex as I had alot of it with previous partners but it's something I'm willing to forgo with him. The second reason I don't do anal play frequently (i.e. during masturbation) is because I've only had one orgasm to date from anal stimulation and when I masturbate I just want to cum. BUT as of late I've been wanting to explore some more in that region so I'm going to go small and I'm going to go safe. I've considered glass toys for anal but I think I'd rather try something more pliable for that region. Don't get me wrong glass dildos are fantastic, especially G-spot glass dildos, but since it's been a while since I've played with my bum I wanna start gentle.

So I went on youtube, of all places, and stumbled upon a woman's video about sex toys and she was kind enough to leave a coupon code (PHONE) for 50% off plus free shipping in the video for adam&eve. Alot of shops are having clearance sales at the moment for their version of "Spring Cleaning" so luckily I stumbled across a butt plug that I really want to try. After the coupon I only paid $5 for it so if I don't like it, it's really not a loss at all.

I'll review it when I get it; I'll be waiting by the door til it gets here. Okay, not literally, but almost.


So now that I have a new butt plug on the way I need to work on getting storage! I have toys all over the place! It may be convenient that they're literally in every room of the house but it's definitely a pain when I have company pop over unannounced and I have to do a quick clean up before I grab the door!

So back to the butt plug. According to Adam & Eve it is:
• Small black anal probe
• Made from premium silicone
• 3½” long, ¾” wide shaft
• Cylindrical head for expert anal stimulation
• Center bead
• Ultra-flexible
• Smooth surface
• E-Z retrieval handle
• Waterproof


One of the pictures posted on the website make me a teensy bit wary about the actual quality of the silicone, as it looks splotchy. I guess we'll see when it gets here! I won't know 'til I try it out and when I do, you guys will be the First to know.

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.
