Full Body Massage Gel by Bijoux Indiscrets


Name: Full Body Massage Gel by Bijoux Indiscrets

Price: $23

Material: PROPANEDIOL, AQUA, AROMA, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, DISODIUM EDTA, SODIUM SACCHARIN

Size: 50 ml/ 1.69 FL OZ

Power Source: NA   

Basic Description: This is a silicone-like massage gel. It has a coconut scent and comes in pump dispenser packaging.  

Pros:
The pump is easy to use, even if you don't have good hand strength. The smell is decent.

Cons:
There are many chemical ingredients in this gel, making it kind of alarming. Also, for its size, it is kind of expensive. On Bijoux Indiscrets's website, they claim the gel is 100% safe to use on genitals and inside the anus, vagina, and penis. However, on the gels packaging, it states that it should only be used externally. These are confusing conflicting statements. 

Accessibility Features:
The pump is the only accessible feature with this product.

Ponderings: If you don't mind all of the chemicals, this could be a good silicone-like massage gel option for you.

Ponderings: If you are looking for a water-based lubricant and don't mind minor chemical ingredients, this could be a good option.

Hook Ups by Sex School

Sex School is a subscription website with lots of educational content about many different aspects of sex. I chose to watch "Hook Ups." For the first potion, four individuals chatted about sex, consent, how hook-ups feel, what to expect/not expect with hook-ups, etc. For the second portion, we saw some "Dos" and some "Dont's" with how to initiate a hook-up. We then followed the actual hook-up between two people. 

I appreciated in the first portion how everyone emphasized setting good boundaries and voicing what you want during a hook-up -- that's not something you often see. However, I wish that sort of checking-in had been more present in the actual hook-up demonstration portion of the video. While there was some talk about which protection to use, there was not much speaking between the pair beyond that. I feel the demo was a perfect opportunity to illustrate people openly communicating during sex (describe what they like, voicing/providing content, etc.), and that mark was missed a bit. However, I did enjoy that they really focused on genuine pleasure. Overall it was a great video about hook-ups!

Bijioux Indiscrets



Name: Twenty One - Vibrating Diamond 

Price: $57

Material: Plastic 

Size: 3 inches across the top of the diamond

Power Source: USB Rechargeable

Basic Description: This diamond-shaped vibrator has 7 vibrations and 3 vibration intensities. It is waterproof and designed for external use only. 

Pros: The surface area is large, so you can enjoy a broad vibrating area. This means you don't have to be too specific about where you put it. Because this diamond does not look like a sex toy, this might be a good option for you if discretion is important to you. It is also decently strong with vibration. 

Cons:
Because of its diamond shape, it is difficult to get a good grip on it. Also, it is not very wedgeable, so it would not work as a hands-free vibrator. On the top, where you can put it against your body, engraved lettering creates a rougher surface that might not be comfortable for everyone. There are many crevices where bodily fluids could get trapped and be difficult to cleanout. 

Accessibility Features: It is discreet and has a large vibrating surface area, making this toy accessible.

Ponderings:
If you are looking for a discreet and decently strong vibrator, this might be the toy for you.

Price: $139.99

Material: 100% medical-grade silicone

Size: 18,9 cm / 7.4” length, 4,7 cm / 1.9” diameter

Power Source: USB rechargeable

Basic Description: This very interesting-looking vibrator is for clitoral and labial stimulation. It has two "petals" that vibrate. It is waterproof and has 6 vibration intensities and 6 vibration rhythms. 

Pros: The petals are very flexible and a good length, meaning they will form to your shape and you don't have to be too precise with where you place the toy. The handle is awesome because you can hook a finger in it, you don't need to be able to grip it. The buttons are easy to press. This toy is fairly strong as well.

Cons: Even though the handle is awesome, this is still a toy that you do still need to hold. wedging this between your legs would not work. It's expensive for a toy that only does one function. 

Accessibility Features: The handle, the flexible petals, and the easy-to-press buttons all make this toy accessible.

Ponderings:
If you are someone who really enjoys clitoral and labial stimulation and needs an easy-to-grip handle, this might be the toy for you!
