Well, I've now had a chance to try the Lelo Lily, and holy smoke! This is a truly awesome toy, definitely my favorite so far! First of all, it comes in a very nice box complete with a nice white satin storage pouch. There is the Lily itself, the user manual, the storage pouch, and of course the charger too. As soon as I opened the box I plugged the charger up and attached the Lily. The user manual is very easy to understand and comes in several languages. A couple of hours later the Lily was ready to go. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try it out right away, but you can bet I jumped right on it once I got the kids to sleep.
First of all, the Lily offers 5 different stimulation modes, a continuous vibration with intensity that can be increased and decreased as well as 4 different pulsation modes. With two simple buttons the model is easily operated and one of my favorite features is the ability to lock it so that it doesn't come on during transport. When Nick and I went to Hawaii, my in-laws drove us to the airport. Fortunately it was Nick who pulled my suitcase out of the back of the car and noticed that it was buzzing. :)
As for how it actually felt - WOW! It fit so nicely against my clit, and it was easy to adjust the settings while it was in place. Plus it was very quiet, always a plus in my book. Also, this is a phthalate free toy, which is very nice. But the really important part, it felt great! I would absolutely recommend this vibrator. Granted, it can be a bit pricey, but it does come with a one year warranty and a 10 year quality guarantee. I've found that the biggest problem with bullets (for me at least) is that the cord tends to pull loose and cause the wires to short out or break. With no cord to worry about, that's not an issue here.
Anyway, a huge thank you once again to adultsextoys.com for donating this product and letting me do the review! You can find the Lily as well as other great Sex Toys here.
Well, I'm finally done being spanked for the whole car issue. Nick actually let me have a pass last night because my bottom was so tender. It was bruised from Saturday's paddling, and Sunday's left it pretty flaming red. But tonight he got the paddle back out and gave me my final 25 swats. Spankers, if you're looking for a good, inexpensive, relatively lightweight, yet very effective implement, the Cane-IAC Jr paddle is it. I can say with authority, it will get your point across. You can pick it up with or without holes, in maple or oak, or even in a very pretty pink for under $17.00. Plus, with Cane-IAC's new Dollars For Toys Program, the more you buy, the more you save. In fact, here in a few weeks when things settle down for us financially, Nick has given me permission to put my credit towards a pink one. They also have a very neat Misfit Toys section where you can purchase discontinued or slight imperfect (but still very high quality!) items at a discounted price. I've got my eye on a few goodies there too.
Speaking of finances, I would really appreciate it if those of you who pray could say a prayer for us. Back in November there was an incident where a neighbor girl stole a car and wrecked it in our front yard, totalling Nick's Suburban. When we went to court over it we won a judgement against her of $4100.00. She was supposed to get a job and send us (through the court) $400 a month. That was in January, and we've gotten all of $875. A few months ago her mom regained custody of her, and she moved to a nearby town and got a new job and a new parole officer. A couple of weeks ago Nick went to talk to our neighbor to see if he knew anything about why we're not getting the payments. This is the girl's uncle who, along with his wife (the girl's mom's sister) had custody of her at the time of the wreck. He called his mother-in-law (the girl's grandmother), and she said that they've sent about $900 in money orders payable to Nick to the courthouse in the town she now lives in, and they assumed they were being passed on.
So Nick has been trying to get in touch with the lady at the DA's office in our town for the last two weeks to find out where the money is, but he can't seem to get her to return his calls, and because the girl is a minor, they won't let us call her parole officer directly. $900 is a huge amount of money to us right now. Not only do we have to pay for my clutch, but the tires on his motorcycle (which he's had to ride every day since I've had his truck) are dangerously worn, plus we need to pay for Morgan's school books, and this trip to Texas is going to cost us some too. Despite Nick's sister's much appreciated generosity in paying for the plane tickets and hotel, we are still going to have to come up with money for a car rental as well as a wedding gift. We also have some family birthdays that have been put on the back burner. This last has been met with great understanding, but we still feel bad about not being able to come up with at least a small gift for each. On top of all of that, Nick is going to have to miss a day of work for the wedding, and our bills are all at the point where they need to be paid right now.
Anyway, I know that God has a plan and a provision for all this, and we would really appreciate your prayers.
Jane's Guide reviewed my blog, and listed me as
Yipee!
"This blog is a lot of fun! It is written by a twenty-something happily married woman in a DD (Domestic Discipline) relationship. I really recommend that you start reading from her first post, since she goes over how the whole thing started (and the story is really charming). Suffice it to say, it wasn't her husband Nick's idea. When you read these early entries and then skip to the most recent, you see how they've grown together as a couple. A very sweet story full of spankings. - Vamp"
I have the honor of being the very first blog reviewed on the brand new Veronica Lane Reviews Sex Blogs. Thank you for a very kind post, Veronica! We look forward to reading about all the fabulous bloggers out there!
We got a great new paddle from South Coast Pleasure! You can check out my review here. The one I picked out has hearts on it, and you can bet Nick put his heart into it! WEG
Nick, Morgan, and I were supposed to go camping tonight, but considering tornadoes have moved into the area, we opted against weathering the night in a storm. Sigh...we've been trying to go since the beginning of last summer. One of these days we'll get there...But for the good news - go check out my official writer's page on South Coast Pleasure! It's a little sparse on content right now; I've got one more product on hand to refine my review of, and I'll be getting it in shortly. For the last couple of days we've been battling a pretty debilitating computer virus, but that's under control now, so I'm back in business. A big thank you to Amy of South Coast for giving me a shot at this!
John from Leather Thorn sent us this amazing new version of his popular Brat paddle. He's changed the handle, and I think it looks fantastic! Fortunately, Nick was kind enough to take my very sore bottom into account, so I only got a few swats with it tonight, although I know it's going to see a lot more action before long. It's a shorter version of the AngelBrat paddle John did for us for Christmas, a bit lighter and a lot more playful. This one is going to be perfect for packing on those trips to the mountains, or just for everyday play. Thank you, John!Go on, guys, go on over and pick one out!
A huge thank you to Lady Calliah for awarding me her Hot Blog Award this week! And a huge thank you to Alex, whose "Coconut Cream" story captured Lady Calliah's imagination!
