Adult sex toys are available in a range of wonderfully versatile materials that all serve a very important function.  Grown up products are available in glass, silicone, skin safe rubber, jelly and phthalate free plastic and it is worth understanding the material you chose in order to select the adult product that best suits you!  In this sex blog article, we examine popular sex toy materials to help you make an informed choice.

Phthalate Free Plastic

One of the most common sex toy materials, phthalate free plastic is a great material for the firmer toys which don’t rely on flexibility.  Plastic is both hygienic and easy to clean making sex toy maintenance a breeze.  Being made from a non-porous material, plastic adult toys are suitable for people concerned about alergies. If you would like to experience the wonderful world of plastic then we would like to introduce you to the Hip G Vaginal Vibe, a g-spot (or p-spot for anal lovers) plastic vibrator that will confirm the endless benefits of plastic sex toys!

Silicone Adult Toys

Silicone is a premium material which is extremely hygienic and easy to clean.  Silicone sex toys are silky soft to the touch and are often used to replicate the sensation of real skin.  It is a firm but flexible material that warms to your body temperature as you enjoy the touch of your adult toy.  We would like to suggest that people who are interested in trying a silicone sex toy try the Bliss Silicone Vibrator which embodies all the best features of a premium material adult product.

Skin Safe Rubber

A less expensive alternative to silicone, skin safe rubber is still relatively easy to maintain whilst still offering the firm but flexible texture that most sex toys demand.  Similar to plastic sex toys, rubber is a very common adult toy material due to its versitility. However, does not suffer from the unpleasant plastic smell and are not suitable for those sensitive to latex. We encourage you to try the Mini iVibe Rabbit if you are looking to experience the feel of a rubber sex tool then this is the gadget for you.

Cyber Skin Sex Toys

Cyberskin is a new, innovative material that was designed for sex toys.  Not only does it have a realistic appearance but feels the same as real skin! CyberSkin is one of the most sort after materials for real feel sex toys both for men and women. However, it is porous, so be careful during cleaning and storage. We really recommend that our male clients discover the wonderful world of cyberskin masturbation aids including CyberSkin Ice Stroker which is the perfect example of Cyberskin at its finest!

Glass Sex Toys

Glass is a great material for individuals who are looking for an adult toy with a high level of versatility.  Shatterproof glass is incredibly hygienic, can often be washed in the dishwasher and can be heated or cooled for those of you wanting to experience temperature sensations. We recommend to those of you that are interested in trying a glass product that you look at the CyberGlass G-Spot Lover, which is a beautifully crafted glass sex toy which provides sensual stimulation at any temperature.

Jelly Adult Toys

Adult products crafted from jelly are cleverly designed to be used safely and comfortably by individuals newly exploring personal pleasures or who enjoy anal erotics. The soft, flexible texture of this material is easy to insert into the tightest of places.  Jelly sex toys are also to clean, which is essential when engaging in any sex play, but particularly anal play.  A jelly toy we love here at GrownUpGoods is the G Rib Butt Plug which really captures all the qualities and features that we love about this material.

No matter what sex toy material you enjoy, sexual pleasure can always be enhanced with a quality sex lubricant.  If you found this post informative, please rate it below.  We would also love to hear your throughts, so don’t be afraid to leave a comment.

With the impending arrival of Valentine’s Day, I began to think of how many inappropriate gifts I have received over the years.  No matter what the occasion, my partner always manages to miss my often not very subtle hints. No joke, one year I got a rolling pin and stainless steal bowls for my birthday. Yes, I didn’t own either, but there was a reason for that. It is because I do not now, nor ever wish to, bake cakes!

So for all you lovers our there who are clueless when it comes to gift giving, I have complied a list of gifts that are bound to get you banished from the bedroom and an intimate adult alternative to help keep your relationship alive.

A Teddy Bear or Other Stuffed Toy

The shops may always advertise that cute, fluffy bear, but that does not mean it is a good gift idea, or that anyone actually wants it.  Think about it, if your partner has had a relationship in the past, they probably already have a cheesy teddy bear holding a love heart and do not need another.  Remember, there is a good reason why that other lover is now an ex.

Alternative: Buy an intimate vibrating sex toy. They are a lot more fun to snuggle with in bed on those lonely nights.

A Box of Chocolates

You think you’re safe because everyone loves chocolate right? For a surprise present, absolutely, but no, not for a big occasion.  To your lover, it says that you either completely forget the day or put off buying a gift to the very last minute.  We will know your box of supermarket chocolates, completely lacking any wrapping or a bow, was hastily purchased on your way home. Yes, we do still want the chocolates, no you can’t have any!

Alternative: Tease and tantalize each other by painting her box with body chocolate and other erotic edibles.  It is the same great flavour, but a whole new dining experience.

Dinner and a Movie

One word; predictable. This will not make your partner feel special or loved.  The message you are sending is that you didn’t want to put in the effort. Sitting in a loud, crowded restaurant waiting hours for your food is not an aphrodisiac.  Watching a movie with a group of strangers, not enhance your intimate connection with one another.  Any time of the year which warrants a gift should also be about spending quality time together. And unless your into orgies, that does not include a bunch of other people.

Alternative: Cook a gourmet dinner at home and then head to your personal home cinema for an adult movie. Even if the food ends up inedible, you will create a night worth remembering.

Kitchen Appliances or Other Home Wares

Household appliances are a great way of telling your significant other that they suck at cooking or other basic chores. Has a blender ever made you feel special? Has a vacuum cleaner ever conveyed somebody’s undying love for you? If the answer is no then your lover doesn’t want it as a gift. Take it back to Myer.  If you are set on updating the decor, instead of buying a boring throw pillow why not spice it up with a sex bolster or plush lovers blanket.

Alternative: Opt for more personal equipment such as a vibrating cock ring or nipple suckers. You will not win any interior design awards, but you will get kudos in the bedroom.

Gym Membership

This is one of the all-time biggest screw-ups in surprise gift buying.  You do not want to insinuate your lover’s body is, in any way, anything except the height of perfection.  You want to make your partner feel special as they are, not as you want them to be.  Plus, there are much better ways to exercise.  I would trade sweating it out on gym equipment for a romp in a sex swing or on a lover’s ball any day!

Alternative: Buy a sexy home gym, complete with sexercise equipment to get fit, flexible and happy together.  Plus, exercising at home has no monthly fees and is open 24 hours. What convenience!

A Sexual Transmitted Disease

All jokes aside, safe sex is a serious issue.  On those special days people may be feeling very… eager… and forget (or just not care about) the usual precautions. Yes, putting on a condom can dampen the mood for a moment, but transmitting the syphilis that street hooker gave you or gifting an unwanted sperm deposit is the last thing your lover wants.  This will not only get you kicked out of bed, but possibly out of the relationship.  It is just not worth the risk.

Alternative: Always use condoms unless you are in a secure relationship and have discussed any possible consequences. Also, ensure your’s and your partner’s comfort with a quality personal lube.

Yes, it sometimes seems the wrong choice of gift always boils down to ‘watch out or you won’t get laid’. But ultimately, any gift giving is about showing your feelings.  Spend quality time with the one you love and make any romantic gesture you know they will appreciate.  As the saying goes, give and ye shall receive.

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing an up and coming star of the adult toy world, the We-Vibe II.  Describing himself as “fun loving, sexy, and always getting the middle of exciting situations”, the We-Vibe II is a cosmopolitan bi-sexual who is always eager for a threesome, but who is also happy to spend quiet nights at home with just you.  Praised as the one of the most innovative and orgasmic new age adult toys and as the best couple’s sex toy, the We Vibe II has won a horde of adult toy awards and rave reviews of mind blowing orgasms.  It is reported to have improved hundreds of sex lives and strengthen relationships around the globe. But does the We-Vibe II live up to its reputation in person? Here you will find out plus learn some tips for how best to enjoy your We Vibe II.

What is all the buzz about?

The We-Vibe II is truly a new breed of vibrator. I (akin to most breathing women) have been using vibrators for quite a few years now.  But the day I first used the We Vibe II will be forever marked in my memory.  Why you ask? Well it is not because the vibrating sensations were orgasmic (although they were).  It is not that on this day I decided this sex toy will defiantly stay at the top of my goody draw (although it has). It was because on this day my partner (who is notoriously shy of my sex toys) was as eager to use the We-Vibe II as I was.  Although I did not pry into why, I presume the non-threatening, non phallic, elegant look and promise of stimulating vibrations for him helped.

We-Vibe 101: Who am I?

The We Vibe II is a hands free couple’s vibrator designed to be used during intercourse (although it performs quite well solo too).  It adopts a duel stimulation approach to love making, achieved by a slender arm providing g-spot love working in sync with a thicker arm for clitoral pleasure.  For those who love purple, great news! The We-Vibe comes in your favorite colour. For those who don’t…well colour isn’t everything.  Size is!  And this tiny toy’s size and unique c-shape allows it to perfectly contour to your body to massage all the right places. 

Using the We-Vibe II is simple. On the nose of the larger arm lies a power switch and charger port.  To operate the We-Vibe, press the raised power button repeatedly to choose from the 9 vibrating modes. Many of the vibrating options are quite powerful considering the vibrator’s small size.  Many of you will also be pleased to know the We Vibe is very quiet, emitting only a gentle buzzing sound.  No music or TV required (except to cover up the moans of pleasure).

It is recommended to charge your We-Vibe II for 24 hours before its inaugural party in your oval office.  So you must exercise the bedeviling virtue of patience on its arrival day.  There after, the battery will give you one hour of high-speed vibrations, two hours on lower settings.  One major benefit of the We-Vibe it is rechargeable and unlike other rechargeable vibes, this one can never be over-charged.

Tips & tricks for using your We-Vibe II

When it comes time to celebrate your acquisition, sharing your We-Vibe II is the way to go. However, if you are new to vibrating sex toys I suggest a private ‘getting to know you’ session before any partner play, ensuring you combine the We-Vibe II with other adult toys such as a dildo.  I recommend testing out the vibrating modes on your erogenous zones, such as your nipples, to choose what setting you are in the mood for (as it is disrupting to change vibration speeds once in place).  This is also fabulous foreplay as the soft silicone materials allow the We-Vibe to smoothly glide across your skin.  When you are ready for the main event, grab a quality water-based lube (key to preventing unwanted friction) and slip the small arm into your pussy, nestling against the g-spot to take full advantage of the massaging vibrations.  Position the large arm to gently hug your clitoris for stimulating pleasures.  It is easier to have the We-Vibe (and you) turned on before you put it in place. The soft, flexible material ensures the We Vibe II is comfortable for both you and your partner.  The intelligent design ensures the We Vibe II provides firm g-spot stimulation even without other penetration.

The We-Vibe II is self-operating and unobtrusive, so all you need to do is pick your favorite positions. Different positions will bestow different sensations to both you and your partner.  Due to its c-shaped design and ribbed underside the We-Vibe will remain snuggly in place once fitted, no matter how eager the lovemaking session. So feel free to explore and discover what type of penetration feels best for you.  I enjoyed the vibrations best in a spooning position where I could enjoy a little extra stimulation, using one finger to manipulate the outer clit stimulator.  Woman on top also provided some exciting new pleasures as I could grind against the We-Vibe II. For male pleasure, I recommend doggy-style which treats him to intense vibrations against his penis with each thrust (even with a condom on). Be warned, this sex toy will win your man no prizes for delayed ejaculation.

We-Vibe II Verdict

Forget playboy bunnies, the We-Vibe II the playmate your man (and of cause you) will want in bed.  The We Vibe II is truly a unique and wonderfully versatile sex toy, great for injecting a new thrill into your love life. It’s quality design and duel stimulation enhances pleasure, both for yourself and your partner.  For the best price in Australia, visit GrownUpGoods today to buy the We-Vibe 2 on sale.

Vibrating eggs, also named love eggs, are among the most over looked adult toys.  They may be small, but these vibrators are some of the most fun, powerful and versatile sex toys.  In this buying guide we take a closer look at egg vibrators, their uses and key considerations for shoppers.

Let’s start with possible uses.  The smooth materials, contoured egg shape and perfectly proportioned size make it sensational for both clitoral or g-spot stimulation for girls and prostate stimulation for boys.  They also feel fantastic vibrating against the nipples, the neck, the inner thigh, the perineum, the testicles, and even the shaft of his penis.  Love eggs are also brilliant for spicing up a hollow dildo or some bath time frolics.

Vibrating eggs are an ideal couple’s toy.  Begin completely nonthreatening, they are perfect for introducing shy partners to sex toys.  Plus, the discreet design of egg vibes allows you to extend foreplay from the bedroom.  Give boring household chores a new buzz or take it out on the town.  You may be worried about the noise of the vibration alerting others to your secret sex play.  But there is no need.  The vast majority of love eggs are nice and quiet.  No doors shut or TV turned up required.  And in the unlikely event someone does hear the vibrations, blame it on your mobile phone.

So now you know why we here at GrownUpGoods love to love the vibrating egg. But how do you go about buying one that is right for you? Here are the key things you should consider:

Size Does Matter

Most egg vibrator’s are, as the name suggests, approximately the size of a small egg.  However, the do vary slightly.  So if you are a smaller woman, ensure you buy a smaller sized vaginal egg.  If you enjoy the fully fulfilled feeling, invest in a larger model. You should also consider love eggs which include a textured jelly sheaths for added pleasure or duo vibrating eggs (one controller, two egg vibrators) for multiple stimulation or couples play.

The Power to Pleasure

Egg vibes can be controlled in a variety of ways; wired button, remote operated or touch activated.  Your choice will be based on where and how you wish to use you vibrating egg.  With wireless remote control eggs, be sure to check the range is suitable for your planned sexual exploits, which can range from 3 to over 10 meters.  With wired models be careful not to pull on the cord as you writhe in pleasure, as it may become damaged or dislodged.  For couples play, it is best to buy a love egg with an activity indicator light, for your hubby’s benefit.

Vibrating Functionality

Egg vibrators vary in available speeds (from single vibrations to over 10 levels on multi-speed eggs), rhythmic stimulation (either steady vibrations or pulsating cycles) and escalation of vibrations. Don’t be fooled by their small size, love eggs can produce vibrations ranging from a gentle tickle to in-ignorable thunder.  We recommend when you first turn on your vibrating egg, start at the lowest intensity and work your way up to enjoy the entire range of orgasmic pleasures.

Slippery When Wet

If you are looking for some wet and wild fun, not all love eggs will be suitable. Many vaginal eggs are designed in a waterproof casement and so are completely submersible.  Some are only splash-proof and some are not water resistant at all. Even if your egg is waterproof, you should always be careful of the remote control. Whenever you plan to play submarine, always ensure your egg vibe is tightly screwed together.

Tips & Tricks

Here are a few tips for how to best use and enjoy your love egg:

1. Always ensure you clean your sex toy prior to use, GrownUpGoods have a wide range of quality toy cleaners.
2. Double check you have inserted the batteries correctly and that the vibrating egg is closed up tightly.
3. You may want to use lube when inserting your egg vibrator.  Although most love egg’s are smooth and easy to insert, it is better to be safe than sore.
4. Once finished, ensure you turn off and clean your egg vibe.  Battery life does vary between models, however you can lengthen battery life by removing the batteries when not in use.  This will also prevent any accidental activation during travel or in storage.

What makes a woman good in bed? Is it her mesmerizing sexual allure, or her beautifully toned body? Is it the way she wears her hair, or her sexy self-confidence? Many guys would love to be able to predict what a woman would be like in bed. But is that really possible? Some love scientists say yes – well, sort of.

1. She makes dinner suggestions

Forget the ‘I-don’t-knows’ and the ‘You-decides’, a women who knows what she wants even when answering everyday mundane questions is more likely to know what she wants in bed as well. So if she suggests Chinese, go with it.

2. She enjoys her food

Take notice of the way your girl handles her food. Does she enjoy her food or not? Is she sensuous, or poky and grabby? If she eats slowly, she will probably enjoy a long, slow love making session. If she gobbles up her food, she likes it fast.

3. She mirrors your actions

Watch her behaviour and see if she is mirroring yours. Is her pace and nonverbal behaviour on par with yours? If her pace is different from yours; chances are you will not be compatible in bed either.

4. She’s an older woman

Older women are usually more confident and specific about their sexual needs than younger women. Older women has the experience to know exactly what they want in bed, and by approaching a younger guy, they already have their priorities in order. Older women know what they like and are usually more assertive and demanding in bed.

5. She’s a good kisser

The way someone kisses says a lot about the type of lover they will be. A slow, sensual kisser translates to a thoughtful and sexy lover, while a sloppy kisser will have the same bedroom manners. Kissing is an important part of foreplay, and many people forget that. Kissing is not just about using your lips and tongue, but using your entire body. If she uses her hands and presses her breasts against you while moaning and groaning, she will probably be a great lover.

Also, a great lover will build up sexual anticipation by starting with small kisses and working towards more passionate ones. Kissing is an art that should not be taken for granted.

6. She’s a good dancer

Probably the most popular one, many men believe that how a female dances indicates the type of lover she will be. If she touches her body and dances with confidence and enjoyment, she’ll probably have the same attitude towards sex.
