Review: Vibrating Mistress

Posted by Sarahbear on May 12, 2010

Vibrating Mistress from Babeland $60.00

When I first began reviewing I got my hands on a few silicone toys. While the material itself has wonderful properties, I was not really impressed with the rigidity of the products I had. They caused some discomfort for me internally and I had almost sworn off silicone completely. Then I began receiving products from different companies and noticing their silicones felt different. More squishy, more comfortable, more pleasurable… and finally, thanks to the lovely folks at Babeland, I have found my absolute favorite brand of silicone. They sent me the Vixen Creations Vibrating Mistress to review (and after receiving it I finally decided I needed to have the Vixskin Randy.)

They sent this around St. Patrick’s Day (holy crap, have I really been playing with this thing for nearly two months already?!) because of it’s green-ish color. I wasn’t that enthusiastic about a green dildo (save for the Astro, which is more about girth and texture than color). Imagine my surprise when it arrived in the mail, in it’s simple, clear, plastic cylinder and it wasn’t green at all. In fact, it was a beautiful aqua/teal shade that I have used to decorate a few of the rooms in my house! If you hold it at an angle in the sunlight there is even a slight sparkling sheen to it and you can see some of the marbling from where it was poured.

It’s shaped like a penis, obviously, but only vaguely. It’s completely smooth, aside from the indentation between the head and the shaft. It’s got a wide, flared base that makes it harness compatible and safe for anal play. Just be sure that you wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution or boil it between holes. You want to make sure any fecal bacteria is cleaned off before inserting it into the vagina again. I was worried it might be a bit floppy for anal pegging, but it worked very well for us. I felt pretty sexy with it strapped onto my body and my husband bent over in front of me. It’s not too thick, at about 1 1/4″ in diameter, but you will need to make sure you’ve warmed up and use plenty of lube. The squishy texture was comfortable for us, as beginners to anal.

There is a hole in the base that a bullet style vibrator can be inserted into. It comes with a small bullet on a string. It’s nothing spectacular. Just your standard, silver, push button, watch battery style bullet. The string does help retrieve the bullet when you need to clean your dildo. Be sure to put a dab of lube inside of the hole before inserting the bullet to help with removal after use.

The only real con that I can think of, which is an issue with most silicone toys, is it attracts lint, pet hair, and dust like a magnet. Vixen Creations silicone is actually a little bit stickier than other silicones. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, it just means you will find yourself washing off the Mistress before each use as well as after. I store mine wrapped in saran wrap to help with this. You can store it in drawstring bags, the container it came in… whatever you fancy, just make sure you keep it cool and dry to prevent damage. Also, no silicone lubes. Water-based only, or you’ll ruin it. Clean it with an anti-bacterial soap between vaginal uses, and either boil it or soak it in a 10% bleach solution to sanitize between anal uses.

I just can't get over how pretty the color is!

Want a pretty, blue Vibrating Mistress of your own? They’ve got them at Babeland. On a budget? They’ve got them without the vibrating bullet for a little cheaper. If that’s not quite what you’re looking for they have a selection of other dildos and toys by Vixen Creations too. If you still aren’t finding something you want they’ve got plenty of other dildos, vibrators, lubes, and books to peruse. Go ahead, get yourself something special!
