Sexuality Happens

Vibe Review sent me three products from Natural Contours to check out. Natural Contours is a toy company where the products are designed by femistist sex-positive pioneer Candida Royalle.

The great thing about these products is that all of the battery operated ones come WITH batteries. I mean, how many toy companies do that? Also, they’re fun looking, making it easy to leave them lying around the house/car/hotel without people knowing exactly what they are. If you’re looking for discretion, these toys pretty much accomplish that.  Additionally, they’re small, light weight and non bulky, so I like them for keeping in my purse/travel.

This is the Energie.  It’s a “vaginal barbell” which is designed to help you with your PC/Kegel exercises. Actually, this was the first vaginal toy I ever used to help me with my kegels, and I found it really helpful. In fact, a certain little bird told me that my vagina can crack walnuts. I’d recommend this for kegel beginners and those who are at the intermediate level of vaginal exercising.  If you consider yourself an expert, I’d suggest the Pure Wand, which is great for g-spot stimulation, prostate stimulation, AND kegel exercises.

Ok. I hate pink. We know this.  However, this pink toy is for a good cause – 10% of the proceeds from the sale of the Petite Pink go to Breast Cancer Action. That’s a pretty damn good cause in my mind, and I’m proud to own this pink toy because of this. Like the other Natural Contours toys, it comes with batteries.  It has two settings- low and high.  Now, I personally prefer weapons grade sex toys, so I can’t really get off using it, but it’s certainly nice to play with when with a partner. Also, it makes for easy travel.  For a relatively inexpensive vibrator, it packs a punch.  However, if you want something travel friendly with a little more juice, I’d recommend the Mia vibrator.

This vibrant yellow toy is the Liberte. I like this one because its handle is designed to be easy for a person to use either by themselves or with a partner. Unlike some vibes with short handles that require odd contortions to hold onto them and fuck yourself, I really did appreciate the longer handle. It also made it easier to try different angles to reach my g-spot.  Again, not quite enough vibes to really light my fire, it worked better for me as a dildo than a vibe.

Most of the Natural Contours vibes are great for people who are differently abled – their shapes make them ideal for those who have trouble grasping or holding, as does the light weight material.

These vibes, while not the highest quality, are certainly well priced, thoughtfully made, and give you pretty good bang for your buck.
