Sexuality Happens

LoveHoney sent me this fancy schmancy new toy to review; the Sqwheel.  It was the Design a Sex Toy Contest winner of 2007, and has finally come into actuality.

What is it? It’s not quite a vibrator, not quite anything else. It’s essentially a tongue toy. What? Yes. A wheel of tongues. Yeah.

Behold:

Yeah. That’s what I said.  It’s nice, because it comes with a cover for the tongues (so they don’t attract lint/cat hair quite as easily.)

So in order to try it out, I lit some candles, grabbed some lubed, and hopped into bed. The current instructions didn’t say much (if anything) about lube, but we all know how I feel about lube, so into bed it came.  (Since then, I’ve been told that they’re putting a sticker on the box recommending lube, as some people were concerned about friction burns from non-lubed tongues). 

After lubing up the Sqwheel, I turned it on to the lowest of the three settings (you know, low/medium/high).  I failed at using it the first few times — I’m so used to pressing a vibe hard against my clit , like when I grip the Hitachi. However, you have to be very light handed with the Sqwheel, as too much pressure will stop the turn of the wheel. 

Once I got the hand of it, it worked a littler better. There is no maybe about lube; it is a must.  Seriously.

The feel of it was ok, but it wasn’t anything for me to write home about it.  I tried to use with toys inside me, to see if I liked it better. It didn’t feel bad — to the contrary. It felt quite nice, and actually the most similar to oral sex of any toy I’ve ever tried. However, just like I can’t come from cunnilingus, I couldn’t come from the toy.

Q, on the other hand, had a much different opinion. She really liked the toy, on all the different settings. After playing with it for a while, her clit was huge and very sensitive (however, trying to fuck her while she used it was an exercise in futility, as it is a very big toy, and not easy to maneuver around).

Better yet, this toy pops apart, so that you can clean it easily, which is nice. Please note that while this toy IS phthalate free, it is NOT made of silicone, so you can NOT sterilize.  I shared with Q, as we are fluid bound, but I can’t share it with anyone else.

All in all, it really is a brilliant designed toy, and different than anything else I’ve ever seen or tested.  If you like the feeling of a tongue on your clit, there is a very good possibility that you’ll absolutely love the Sqwheel, just like Q.  If oral sex isn’t your cuppa tea, then this isn’t the toy for you.  Four stars (out of five).
