Toy Review: Fun Factory Share

Toy Review: Fun Factory Share

Jul 9, 2012

Fun Factory ShareI have spent years looking for a good strap-on, but there are so many options out there! I had a hard time finding a brand I liked and felt I could trust to be a good quality long lasting toy. Most strap-ons are big and bulky made out of material that is stiff and uncomfortable to wear. Also most are relatively straight and will not fit the natural contour of your body, not to mention for vaginal use most looked too long for starting out. Everything I found was too intimidating to find intriguing. Then about a month ago I found a brand that I thought I would try out.

The brand name is Fun Factory, which alone made me wonder how “fun” these toys would be. I started looking more it to these fun brand toys and they were amazing!!! The material was so different from any other toy I have ever looked at. It was so soft and malleable, yet it is sturdy enough to put any amount of pressure where you want to have it. I had mostly looked at vibrators, and let me tell you I am sold on getting all my toys from Fun Factory. Although they didn’t have any strap-ons, but they did have a few couples toys that were similar to a strap on. The one I found to be the most welcoming was called Share.

Share has 3 sizes the Share, Share XL, and Share XS. All are double dildos, perfect for lesbians or for couples looking for a good anal toy that can be used to stimulate both parties. Depending on your comfort level, what you are using Share for, and your anatomy will help you best choose what size you will want to purchase.

All are made of 100% medical grade silicone; this is rare to find in the United States. Most silicone toys are made or assembled in China, they have very low standards for their products and when they make something that is “100%” silicone it turns out they are about 12% silicone! Fun Factory is not only based out of Europe, but all of their toys are assembled in Europe so you know that you don’t have to worry about the standards getting mixed up. The material is so high quality you can actually used a silicone based lubricant with it! This is unheard of! Being such a high quality silicone also makes them hypoallergenic and unusually easy to clean, you can boil them if you want to, and it won’t mess with the feel of the material! It is very soft and flexible, yet still very firm. This allows them to adapt seamlessly to the shape of the body while providing satisfying stimulation to both partners.

The Shape is unlike anything I have ever seen before. One end is shaped to sit in the vaginal cavity with a curve that rests against the G-spot as well as right above the pelvic bone, so that while in use it provides optimal internal stimulation, while the bottom is slender so the vaginal opening can close around it, making it easier to keep in while using. The joint between the two insertable ends is flat and flexible so it can rest flush against the women’s skin. The joint rises up and forms a dull point that rests on the clitoris providing external stimulation for both partners, as it would rub against the partner it is being used on. Depending on what size you use will depend on what the dildo part looks like, but they all have a curve that will provide G-spot stimulation for the other partner whether they are male or female.

With the original Share the dildo end is slender and shaped more like the male anatomy and is roughly 6.3 inches long and 1.38 inches in diameter. The part worn in the vagina is 3.4 inches long and 1.5 inches in diameter. The shape allows for not only vaginal stimulation but also anal, you don’t have to use a harness with Share but the base opens up the option. The natural shape makes for a good hold and a comfortable handling. If you are looking for something smooth and natural I recommend trying this one out.

The Share XL dildo is longer and has elevated ridges that make it slightly larger; it is 7.1 inches long and 1.37 inches in diameter. The part worn in the vagina is 3.4 inches long and 1.49 inches in diameter. The additional curves create more stimulation for the individual it is being used on as well as for the individual that is wearing it. The ridges also create a more defined structure that will bend less, helping create the added stimulation. The extra ridge on the vaginally worn edge also helps to keep it in more easily allowing for an added sense of control.

The Share XS is the smallest of the share family the dildo end is only 5.5 inches in length and 0.89 inches in diameter. The vaginally worn end is still about the same size at the other two at 3.9 inches in length and 1.37 inches in diameter. Share XS is perfect for beginners you can get used to controlling the toy and having to hold something inside of you. The end that is used as the dildo is smaller and more slender then the other shares, letting the individual get used to having the foreign object inside of them. With the smaller end it is ideal for anal use. It has the perfect curve to massage the male G-spot. Then once use to the size you can begin to move up in size.

Share is a great way to extend pleasure and create a greater sexual bond, not only for lesbian couples, but any couple that is willing to try it out! You can cool it in ice water or warm it in boiling water; it is bath and shower friendly. The vaginal end is easy to insert and easy to keep in once you get comfortable with the movement and the feel of the having it inside of you. As intimidating as the Share can appear it is a great toy to add to your collection, or the perfect way to start a collection! (I also recommend looking at the Fun Factory smart balls if you are worried about how strong your Kigali muscles are, they get a real workout when using Share.)

Giving and Receiving a Sensual Massage

Giving and Receiving a Sensual Massage

Apr 8, 2012

There’s something sexy about giving and receiving a sensual massage. Blue Boutique Sugarhouse has the right products to make sure it turns out better than anticipated!

We carry massage oils and glides that can invigorate the senses, depending on what type of massage you’re giving. Let me start with one of my favorites: System JO Massage Glide. This product is unique in the fact that it can be used for massage and as a lubricant. It is a silicone based massage glide that works in or out of the water (hot tub, anyone?!) and leaves your skin feeling soft and supple. It comes in different scents (my favorite right now? Cucumber!), no scent, and warming and is super concentrated…. a little goes a long way!

Kama sutra oil of loveKama Sutra Massage Oils are a top seller and customer favorite here at Sugarhouse. Our two most popular are Sweet Almond and Serenity. These are calming scents and not too masculine or feminine; great for couples who don’t want anything too purfume-y. Kama Sutra uses essential oils in their products, which make them have deeper, more enticing scents. Soaring Spirit is another great one! It has pure peppermint and spearmint oils sure to energize and get your senses going!

We also carry massage candles…. these are AMAZING! They are a soy based candle that when the wax burns down (about 20-30mins) you can use that wax for massage. They burn at a cooler temperature so pouring directly from the candle is ok and won’t burn the skin. This is so awesome because you get the ambiance of a candle burning, and the naughtiness of using that wax to drip all over your lover! We carry many different lines of these, in many different scents. My favorite is Ono Pleasure Candle in Vanilla and Shea Butter. It smells delicious and has a great texture. We have massage candles that are edible as well and come in many great flavors.

We also have massage gloves by Fukuoku. These can add a sexy extra oomph to that sensual massage! They vibrate in the finger tips and feel super cool. We have right and left handed gloves so you could get a pair and see where the evening takes you!! And if you’re not quite sure what your partner will like, or how to do a massage, we carry books and dvds that can give you pointers on what to do. Use the massage glove, the oils, maybe even your own body!

Let the ladies at Sugarhouse Blue Boutique know what you’re wanting, and I’m positive we will have the right product for you!!

Push My Button: A guide to Clitoral Stimulators

Push My Button: A guide to Clitoral Stimulators

Mar 20, 2012

Liquid V Clitoral StimulantIs it easy for you to achieve the ultimate orgasm? Or do you need a little help? Let me guide you through the maze and help you come out with a standing ‘O’!

There are a plethora of clitoral stimulants that claim to be the best. I think there are a lot of good products out there, and a lot of gimicky ones as well. You want to start by looking at the ingredients. L’arginine is a key ingredient to most stimulants. The purpose of l’arginine is to increase sensitivity to the clitoris by drawing blood flow into the clitoris. When the tissue has more blood flow to it, it becomes more sensitive, thus making it easier to orgasm. Some of our most popular clitoral stimulants with l’arginine in them are: Liquid V, Viva Cream, Tickle Her Pink, and Orgasmix. A little can go a long way, so start with a drop and massage into the tissue. This is key. The stimulant will work best if absorbed. You can use as much as you would like, but just remember that’s it’s easier to add than take away! A few of the stimulants with l’arginine are also flavored.  The two most popular are: Whoopie Cream, which is flavored with a cherry extract, and  Pure Ecstasy, which is either cherry, grape, or strawberry. These two stimulants are also unisex! This is great because it can help with getting your man more stimulated, and taste great in the process!

Another ingredient to look for is menthol, or peppermint oil. This will give a slight cooling sensation. What I think is so awesome about a cooling sensation, is that it is the complete opposite to what is happening naturally. It will help make the tissue tingle! In some of our products for sensitive skin, this is the main stimulating ingredient. My favorite in this category is Sliquid O Gel. It is newer to the market, but we have had excellent feed back on it! Some other awesome ones include: Scream Kreem, Flower Balm, System Jo Atomic, and the Kama Sutra Pleasure Balm, which comes in flavors as well.

If creams and gels are not your thing, try a vibrating bullet! I would venture to say it’s the toy we get asked about the most, and one of the best ways to help achieve an ultimate orgasm, with or with out your partner! There are varying sizes and styles, and finding the right one for you could be challenging…. if you don’t know what questions to ask. It helps us, help you, if you have an idea of what you are looking for. Lots of power? Different speed options? Different functions? We can show you many to fit any need. One of my favorites is Siri by Lelo. It is a multi speed, multi function, wireless vibrating egg. It is also on rechargeable batteries, so need to mess with watch batteries, or worry about running out at an inopportune time! A best selling battery operated one is the iVibe Bullet by Doc Johnson. It has been a favorite of mine for years, and has many customizable options.

In my mind, the key to achieving the ultimate clitoral orgasm begins with using ultimate clitoral stimulators. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, and have us put batteries in the toy so you can feel the vibration. All we want, is to make sure you getting to the wonderful place we call Orgasm!

Cinch me, baby!

Cinch me, baby!

Mar 11, 2012

CorsetToday I want to talk about the differences in fashion corsets, cinching corsets,  and bustiers. Many people are under the assumption that you can cinch any type/brand of corset just because it has strings. This is not the case. Many corsets these days are made to be worn for the look, not to keep a cinch. These corsets are great for one time use, parties, costumes, etc. They are made out of thinner material, typically have plastic boning, and are sized by bust. Plastic boning tends to bend to the shape of the wearer, not keep it’s structure. This works if cinching is not your main goal. We carry lines by Leg Avenue, and Coquette that are made for these purposes.

If you are really wanting a good cinch, a true reduction in waist, then you need to try the Burleska line of corsets. These are imported from England and are a top seller at the Sugarhouse store; sometimes it seems we can’t keep them in stock!  The corsets and waist cinchers made by Burleska are amazing! Most are metal or steel boned, so they will make you form to them. This gives you the ideal hourglass figure and also helps with posture; just try to slouch in these!  And with wedding season coming up, they can really help acheive the perfect look. These corsets work for almost any body type/bust size and enhance the lady business while carving out a waist. When shopping for Burleska corsets, waist size is important. This line is sized by your corseted waist, which means you take the actual measurement of your waist and subract 4 inches. This is your corset size. This can vary depending on style, so we like to start with what size we think will work, and go from there. The ladies at Sugarhouse are able to help you size and cinch your corset…. even if it’s making a quick stop before your date!

Bustiers are ideal for those who want more of a lingerie look. They will have formed cups which are perfect for women with a smaller bust; this gives them room to be boosted! Typically, bustiers do not have cinching strings, but they do have boning which will still give you a slight cinch. Most women can wear these under clothes and can be attached to nylons. You could have fun teasing your fella with the allure of what’s to come later!

Please ask any of the ladies at Sugarhouse to help you when shopping for a corset. We are more than happy to help you pick out the right one, for the right occasion. We can even give you a quick lesson on how to cinch it so you’ll be prepared when the day comes!
