The Orion (Boris & Doris Custom Toy Store)

The Orion

The Orion is a hand crafted, double ended, Stainless Steel tool designed for solo use as a G-Spot toy. Its versatility, however, is immediately apparent in its dual-sided shape which lends itself well to other uses by both women and men.

What We Really Liked
• Stainless Steel Material
• Multipurpose Features
• No Batteries, Lasts Forever

Physical Description

Crafted of solid Stainless Steel, the total length of The Orion is 9.5" and it weighs 12 ounces. A 45° degree curvature at one end leads to a single bulb shape with a 1" diameter (the tool's widest point). The other end has a series of 7 bulbs in tight succession, their size ranges from 0.5" to 0.94". The density of this tool, along with its highly polished finish, make it a pleasure to handle.

Care and Cleaning

The high polish on this tool makes it susceptible to scratching, care should be taken to avoid contact with hard materials which include jewelry (like rings) and bathroom faucets. Scratches in steel toys can produce micro-abrasions in delicate tissue, which could then introduce bacteria to the bloodstream. It's a low risk and is easily avoided with proper care.

If you do not have concerns about disease transmission, simple soap and water cleanup is sufficient. Stainless Steel also lends itself well to all manner of sanitizing including alcohol, dishwashers, and boiling. Just be mindful of physical insult to the toy (i.e. bumping against the side of a boiling pot) which could scratch the finish.

Our Experience

We both really like Stainless Steel toys in large part due to the material's thermal density. Warm it up or cool it down, toys of steel hold their temperature very well which is good for temperature play. A polished finish makes steel very slick with just a little lube, it is durable, cleans easily, and never disappoints.

The Orion's longer, more bumpy side makes an exceptional anal toy which Dick used on Jane while performing oral sex. Like anal beads but far better, a slow insertion and removal provides exquisite anal sensation, this lead to a very intense orgasm for Jane. Dick is anxiously awaiting his turn for the same oral/anal treatment, he admits to having a bit of lust for this toy.

The shorter side with the single bulb (the largest diameter) has a very clear purpose to provide focused pressure on the G-Spot and it does this very well for both solo use and partner play. The toy's angle makes it easy, though if you get lube on the "handle" side the job get a bit tougher. If you're goal is to squirt (or learn to) The Orion is an excellent choice!

We would be remiss if we failed to also mention the P-Spot (prostate) application of this tool as well. Just like use on the G-Spot, The Orion's angle is great for both solo and partner use. It is solid, unyielding, and provides pressure of fantastic quality which is easily manipulated with a hand. Do it for your health and/or do it because it feels incredible, but with this tool in your ass a great blended orgasm is almost assured.

Other Items of Note

Each Orion is hand crafted on a Lathe by Boris (of Boris & Doris) and shipped in a Muslin (cotton) storage bag. We really appreciate the personal feel of their small business venture and it contributes to our affection for their products. Doris is also a seamstress and makes deluxe storage bags which can be purchased separately.

Should your Stainless Steel toy become damaged (like scratched) Boris with repair it for you once at no cost. This is an excellent offer of support and reflects the very personal nature of their business. For this, and other reasons, we recommend The Orion (and their other Stainless Steel Sex Toys) very highly.

Thank you to Boris & Doris for providing this product to us at no cost in exchange for an honest review!

Tantus B-Bomb: Vibrating Anal Plug

The Tantus B-Bomb is a medium sized anal plug good for use by anyone from novice to expert in anal play. Made of soft silicone, it is semi-rigid and forgiving to your body but still firm enough to make insertion very easy. Its shape is both considerate to your anus and filling for your rectum.

What I Really Liked
• Made of body safe soft silicone
• Comfortable insertion, filling shape
• Easy to clean

Physical Description

The B-Bomb is made of soft silicone with tapered tip, insertable length is 3¼", widest diameter is 1¼", neck diameter is ⅞". Unit includes a waterproof, watch battery powered, vibrator that inserts into the base of the plug. Vibrating bullet has single speed on/off capability.

Function

B-Bomb is a plug which is inserted anally and can be retained with muscular control. The base has a gentle slope which is comfortable for your butt cheeks, permitting you to sit with the unit inserted without undue discomfort. Battery powered, water proof bullet slides into base (with a little lube) and delivers vibration throughout the silicone plug.

Care and Cleaning

Silicone material necessitates non-silicone lube (water based is recommended) and cleanup is easy with warm soap and water though it is also dishwasher safe, boilable, and bleachable. Store out of direct contact with other silicone toys.

My Experience

Insertion is as easy and comfortable as you could expect from a medium sized plug. It is very nice for brief or extended wear while sitting, though I found it difficult to keep in while standing or walking. During sex I was unable to retain this plug without assistance from a hand; partly due to the relatively similar diameter of neck and body, partly due to sloped sides of the flared base.

Vibration from the waterproof bullet is high intensity buzz and is either on or off. The silicone material transfers the physical vibration well while at the same time dampening the intensity. Sitting on the plug with the vibe in place will activate the power button. I find the extra stimulation from the bullet pleasant but have used it sparingly. There is no obvious prostatic pleasure for me from this plug, its benefit is derived from simple anal and rectal displacement... which can be very enjoyable.

This is a well made silicone butt plug capable of delivering great pleasure. Don't expect the B-Bomb by Tantus to stay in on its own without focused anal retention or external physical help. It is an ideal size for those that appreciate a filling feeling, and is the best shape for insertion and removal I have experienced to date.

Lelo Billy - Vibrating Prostate Massager

(click images to enlarge)

The Lelo Billy is a vibrating prostate stimulator which has more than satisfied my envy of Jane's Lelo toys for ladies. It's gentle when you want it, strong when you need it, versatile, long lasting, rechargeable... I am nothing but impressed.

What I Really Liked

• Rumbles (not buzzes) with good power
• Rechargeable and goes for hours
• Silicone texture/properties are ideal
• Quiet even when turned up
• Versatile use as general massager
• Girth and angle are great for P-Spot

Physical Description

At 6.5" in length (4" insertable) and 1.12" in diameter, the Billy is moderately sized and very comfortably inserted. A modest curve in the body permits easy focus on the prostate without being overly aggressive. The business end is made of silky smooth body safe silicone which has a matte texture that lube clings to (but is easily cleaned).

It comes packaged in Lelo's signature box (very nice presentation), which is suitable for storage, and comes with a charger, satin storage bag, warranty booklet, and operator's manual.

Function

The Billy's controller is a depressible disk on the unit face with 4 options; vibration intensity up/down, and mode selection up/down. There are 5 modes to choose from which include; pulsing of varying speeds, waves of vibration, and constant vibe. Each mode can be fine tuned in any of 7 available speeds which range from gentle hum to intense rumble.

Unit is easily rechargeable and includes a lit LED ring around the control disk that indicates; low battery, active charging, and a full charge. Complete charge takes a little over an hour and (in my experience) the vibrator operates continuously for more than two hours before need for recharge. Billy's Li-ion battey (like the one in your cell phone) does not require any special care like the NiCad battery in your cordless drill. Leave it plugged in, let it run down, whatever.

Your prostate is the obvious target for this toy, but it also serves very well wherever vibration can be appreciated. For me, the perineum and frenulum also respond very well to the Billy.

Care and Cleaning

This toy is made of silicone so use of silicone based lubes will damage it. The manufacturer recommends water based lubes only.

The Billy is not waterproof, that is to say it is not submersible. Therefore you must take some caution when cleaning it to avoid the charging port, which is covered by a soft plastic tab. I have found cleaning with warm soap and water to be very easy. Storage in the included satin drawstring pouch will ensure your toy's material integrity.

My Experience

Consistent with other prostate simulators I've used, the effect on my prostate is slow to build; at first it's a challenge to focus beyond the anal aspects, but as arousal progresses prostate sensation becomes more consuming. Where Billy goes beyond the others is its power... as my need for stimulation increases the adjustable vibration and modes of operation deliver!

The Billy is insertable but is not meant as a stay-put plug so you'll need to keep one hand on the unit to prevent an undesired exit. I found solo play with Billy while also masturbating a bit positionally awkward (due to the hands-on requirement) but I got over that quickly. The orgasms I have with Billy are quality enough to forgive any shortfalls.

Vibration from the Billy is focused and penetrating. When inserted anally and focused on my prostate, Jane noted that she could feel the vibration all the way through the tip of my dick.

While great for prostate massage, I found this power alluring for perineum and frenulum massage as well. Sitting on the vibrating Billy while it lays flat beneath my perineum is a distracting and comforting sensation while sitting at the PC or watching a movie. I've used it to tease out throbbing responses from the head of my dick and I've grasped it lengthwise astride my cock to stroke myself with its persistent rumbling. All very good, I assure you.

A minimal amount of water based lube glides onto Billy's matte textured silicone and stays put. A light sheen is all that's needed for comfortable insertion. The silicone itself has a silky smooth feel to it, not tacky like some silicone toys, it cleans easily, and does not attract lint like I've come to expect from the material. I don't know what Lelo did different than everyone else, but their silicone is great!

The Billy is a fantastic toy and rising quickly in the ranks of my top favorites for masturbation. I haven't recruited Jane to use the toy on me [yet] but I expect to soon. A blow job while her hand works control of the Billy on my prostate would be extraordinary.

Lelo warranties the quality of my Billy for a full year. And for 10 YEARS they guarantee it will continue to satisfy without defect, promising a generous trade-in if it falters. I'm deeply satisfied with (and by) this product and cannot recommend it highly enough to those who appreciate prostate play.

The New (More Powerful) Lelo Mia

(click to enlarge)

The newest Lelo Mia is beautifully crafted, sleek, innovative, and a powerful bullet-type vibe by Lelo, well-known maker of luxury pleasure objects. This new version of the Mia boasts twice the power of its predecessor!

Physical Description

Made of "body safe" silicone with a silky smooth gloss finish, she feels like hard plastic. Styled to resemble a tube of lipstick, she is discreet enough to take (or store) anywhere!

More than that, this deceptively powerful vibrator is USB chargeable... making her good for travel or a quick recharge anywhere you find a computer. If you have an iPhone, you already have a wall adapter which would work as well. The Mia comes with a USB extension cord but, plugged directly into a USB port, she looks like a sleek flash drive.

The Mia is packaged is Lelo's signature gift box along with a USB extension cord, user manual, warranty information, and slick white satin storage bag.

Function

Unlike other bullet vibes I've owned the Mia's variable speed is truly infinitely variable, meaning that the power does not step up or down in short jumps but rolls smoothly from low to high and back again. And she's quiet for a vibe of her strength!

Her lowest setting is pleasant and soothing but crank her all the way up and the vibes are powerfully intense while not being an over the top buzz kill. Also unique for a bullet vibe is her 3 different pulsing options, offering even more variety and pleasure.

Mia is simple to operate; push the plus button to turn her up, push the minus button to turn her down (and off). To activate the pulsing modes turn her all the way up then press and hold the plus button for 2 seconds, press the plus button again to change modes. She has a quick pulse, a medium pulse, and a short rapid pulse in addition to a constant vibration setting. The controls are easily accessible during play and you can lock the Mia, by holding the plus and minus buttons at the same time, before tossing it in your purse or slipping it in your pocket.

The battery lasted well over two hours on medium speed in my tests and took about an hour and a half to recharge completely. An LED light on the vibe tells you when the battery is low, charging, and fully charged.

Care and Cleaning

Since Mia is made of silicone it is advisable not to use silicone lubes as this may damage her finish. Mia should be cleaned with warm soap & water though she is not submersible, the USB port should not get wet. I was a little leery of getting her wet at first but the cap's seal seems to keep the inside dry during cleaning.

Storage
Mia comes with a satin storage bag but she's equally at home in plain view thanks to her whimsical styling. Keep her in your purse, makeup bag, bathroom drawer, wherever a tube of lipstick would comfortably call home.

My Experience

I've owned many bullet vibes over the years and I have to say, Mia is by far the most impressive I have ever used. That said...when I get a new toy, my first test is to see how easily it will get me off. I came quickly with Mia on a medium-high speed. On another occasion, I took some time and really put her to the test with some slow solo play trying out all of her features. She did not disappoint! Dick and I also tried her out together during sex, she was not obtrusive and was great for clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex in a variety of positions.

Mia is fairly quiet which I can attest to in 2 ways. I had her in my pants carrying on a conversation with Dick and he had no idea she was in there. I also put her in my pants sitting at a busy rec center (while our kids were swimming) and felt comfortable that no one around me knew what I was up to. ;o)

All Lelo products (Mia is no exception) come with a 1 year warranty which assures they will operate without flaw for the first year... this seems generous to me.  In addition, Lelo guarantees their products for up to 10 years in the form of a trade-in exchange (50% value) for defective products. Nice!

I am very excited to have added the Lelo Mia to my collection of toys, her variable speed, size, versatility, and discreet nature make her a must have!

Thank you to the good folks at Lelo for providing this product to us at no cost in exchange for an honest review!
