Earthly Body – Body Candle and Massage Candle

Heart-Shaped Massage Body Candle — Naked in the Woods 6 oz. $15.99

Edible Candle — Watermelon 4 oz. $15.99

Angie:  I couldn’t agree more with the Dr D!  I was thrilled when asked to round-massage-med-res.jpgreview these two candles — the Heart-Shaped Massage Body Candle — Naked in the Woods and the Edible Candle — Watermelon.  They are scrumptious.

I have very sensitive skin, so I have to be very careful what products I use.  Initially, I was concerned that fragranced products, like these, would not sit well on my skin.  So I decided to visit the Earthly Body website and do some homework before my first use.  I was delighted to learn that all their products are vegan and nontoxic.

My first use was right after my bath.  I lit a candle, which fragranced the room while I enjoyed my bath.  Naked in the Woods has a light earthy sent with just a hint of pine. the Edible Candle — Watermelon is…well all edible-watermelon-candle-hi-res.jpgwatermelon-y.  Is there such a word?  Depending on my mood, I had a choice between earthy and fruity.  By the time if finished my bath, there was enough liquefied oil to generously moisturize my legs.  This is a much finer oil than what I usually use, so much more silky.

One thing I did not know is that Hemp Seed Oil is known as ‘nature’s most perfectly balanced oil,’ and has the highest concentration of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) of any essential oil.  I guess that explains the rich texture of the melted candle.

As a special treat, I used the Naked in the Woods candle on my husband.  He probably would have resisted had I asked him first.  Scented things are not his bag. He’s such a guy!   But I had the candle lit at our bedside.  (The scent is not overwhelming in any way.)  We were feeling amorous; and I said I wanted to treat him to a little back rub.  He never says no to a massage.  I extinguished the candle and dribbled the warm oil on his back.  I poured it from about one foot above his back, so that by the time it hit him it was only slightly warmer than his skin.  He moaned with delight as I rubbed it in.

The economy being what it is, I believe more and more of us will be turning to simple, inexpensive pleasures that can be enjoyed at home.  These Earthly Body candles have only whet my appetite to try some of their other products.  (Hubby dear, if you’re reading this, as I know you are, the New Year will be a whole lot more sensual if I find a big gift pack of Earthly Body goodies under the tree.  Hint, hint!)

One final thing, and I know that Dr Dick agrees with me on this, we are both delighted to see that Earthly Body, besides being an earth-friendly, totally GREEN company, it also has a much bigger social conscience.  The founders of the company have created a charitable foundation called The Get Together Foundation. How fantastic is that?

Earthly Body – Aromatherapy Candle

Aromatherapy Earthly Body Candle — Melt Away 6 oz. $15.99

One of the best things about being Dr Dick is sharing the bounteous melt-away-hi-res.jpgproducts sent to me for review with my Review Crew.  It’s like bein’ friggin’ Santa Claus all year long.  Despite my exceptionally big heart there are always some pangs of envy as I see a product I covet go off to a new home in the hot little hands of one of my posse.  Generosity is so bittersweet.

I had the damnedest time trying to choose among the Earthly Body products.  Each one is a mini treasure.  But since I am an avid practitioner of massage and bodywork I chose the Aromatherapy Earthly Body Candle — Melt Away as my keeper.

If you are unfamiliar with the concept of a body candle, here’s the deal.  These beauties are designed to melt at a lower temperature than regular candles.  You light them like regular, of course, but they liquefy quicker, thus the ‘wax’ (more precisely, oil) is not so hot.  So you light your candle, melt some, extinguish the flame and then use the sensuous scented oil to massage with.  There simply is nothing finer!

Not all such candles are created equal, don’t cha know.  But I can say with confidence that the Earthly Body candle is the finest I’ve ever used; bar none.  Their candles are made from 8 Natural Oils including Hemp Seed (Mmmm Hemp!), Vitamin E, Jojoba, Avocado, and Almond.  This is like a picnic for your skin.  It penetrates easily thus moisturizing your skin leaving it soft and smooth, like a baby’s bottom.

Wanna take a mini-vacation for under $20?  Look no further than Earthly Body.

And the fragrance is out of this world.  This particular candle — Melt Away, is scented with clove.  These candles are infused with real aromatherapy essences, mind you.  No cheap artificial stuff here, I’m happy to report.  So you have this complete experience — a scented candle that fragrances the room, which also provides an equally delectably scented high-quality massage oil.

NobEssence – ROMP

Carlos introduces us to another beauty from NobEssenceROMP.

ROMP ——  $110

Carlos:  “It’s great to be back with some of my old review pals and some new ones too.

I feel a little odd being the only single person here, but my ROMP is perfect for solitary use.  It’s an exquisite wooden butt plug/prostate massager.

Before I continue with a description, I want to say that I agree with everything Ken and Denise said about their sculpture.  And since you just heard from them, I won’t repeat it all myself.romp.jpg

ROMP is the best prostate massager I’ve ever used.  And I’ve tried several.  It fits snug and stays in place because of the notch between the handle and the rounded insertable end.  And it’s designed to be worn for extended periods of time.  The longer you wear it, the better it feels.  Dr Dick and I are both big advocates of prostate self-awareness and prostate massage.  And this is the perfect ‘tool’ for that.

It isn’t all that big, so it is suitable for even the beginner.  The insertable section is 3 1/2” long and 1 1/2” at its widest point.  Nothing threatening there!  I suppose you could just as well use ROMP for G-spot stimulation, but I don’t have one of those.  So I can’t speak to that.

Lube, of course, is important.  And ROMP is compatible with all types of commercially produced lubes — water-based, silicone-based, whatever you have.

I love my ROMP.  I’ve already turned a couple of my bi-men friends on to this amazing instrument.

One thing I should point out.  The NobEssence site only allows you to buy directly from them if you use PayPal.  That is such a bummer.  Because there are a whole lot of us that will never use PayPal, ever.  I’m sure the sculptor looses a fair amount of business not having other pay options.  Luckily, the NobEssence site offers links to other online stores where you can purchase these marvels using a credit card.  So hurray for that!

If you have a prostate, or know someone who does, this is the ideal holiday gift for him.  Get ‘em while they’re hot!”  😉

ENJOY

Smooth Glider by XHale

Mick & Chuck introduce us to Smooth Glider.

Smooth Glider $89.95

Mick:  “Hey, it’s great to be back as part of the Dr Dick Review Crew.
Chuck:  “This is the dream “job. What’s not to love about getting free sex toys?  And we loves us some toys.”
Mick:  “Yeah, but we’re also informing people about what to look for in quality products while avoiding the junk.”
Chuck:  “Exactly!  Speaking of quality, check out our Smooth Glider.  It’s smooth_glider.jpgstunning.  It’s made of Pyrex glass.”
Mick:  “It’s approximately 7 inches long and 1 1/4 inches in diameter with a nicely sculpted head that measures approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter.  It weighs a hefty 12.4 oz.  And the sucker is smooth as glass…thus the name.  Duh!
Chuck:  “Well a lot of glass dildos are textured.  This one happens to be smooth. But it does have a nice curve to it.  It’s perfect for prostate stimulation.”
Mick:  “Or G-Spot stimulation, if you have one of those.”  😉
Chuck:  “The first thing you need to know is that not all glass dildos are created equal.  There are plenty of cheap knock-offs out there that I wouldn’t stick in my ass for a million bucks.  But the Smooth Glider is top of the line.”
Mick:  “If you’ve never used a glass dido you will be amazed.  It’s like no other material.  With just the tiniest amount of lube (we use a silicone-based lube) this thing becomes amazingly slick.  And you can warm or chill this baby for added sensations.”
Chuck:  “The Smooth Glider, like all quality glass products, is easy to care for too.  Warm soapy water and a nice lint-free towel is all you need for clean up.  But you can pop it in the dishwasher; sterilize it in a 10% bleach solution; or in boiling water for a couple of minutes.  Making it the idea toy for sharing.”
Mick:  “One more thing about the Smooth Glider’s design.  It has a nice base on it.  So it’s easy to grab hold of for turning or pumping in and out.”
Chuck:  “Mmmmm, pumping in and out!”
The Smooth Glider comes in a beautiful red padded velvet pouch to protect it when it’s not punishing your, or someone you love’s ass.”
Mick:  “I highly recommend the Smooth Glider to anyone who is looking for the classic glass dildo.  You will not be disappointed.”
Chuck:  “I second that!  And anyone out there still unsure about glass toys, if you buy quality, like the Smooth Glider, you have nothing to worry about.  But like all high-end toys you need to treat it right.  Care for it properly, and it will last a lifetime.”
Mick:  “Yeah just think this could be an heirloom, passed down from generation to generation.  In about a hundred years look for it to appear on the Antique Road Show.  ‘Why, my great, great uncle Mick buggered himself senseless with this beauty!’”  😉

WE-Vibe

WE-Vibe ——  $129.95

Hey Sex Fans,

Allow me to introduce you to Gina, the newest member of Dr Dick’s Product Review Crew. She’s 24,d232.jpg she’s smart as a whip and she’s working on her master’s degree in social work. She’s vivacious, outgoing, fun loving and charming as all get-out. She describes herself as a sex-positive feminist, but she also confesses to being somewhat shy and not all that knowledgeable about sexual things.” “I guess I’m your average recovering Catholic girl who knows there a whole world out there just waiting to be discover.”

Gina comes to us by way of my friend Kevin. Do you remember Kevin? He helped me review the Aneros products some weeks back. (Look for “Kevin” in the Category Section) In fact, that’s how Gina and I first met. She was totally blown away when Kevin, rather nonchalantly, turned her on to my site and the review. Unbeknownst to her, her straight-as-an-arrow BF lost his ass cherry the day he helped me with that review. Apparently, this was his way of signaling Gina that he was up for trying new things, so to speak. Well, I guess that’s one way of doing it!

Gina told me she was floored when she read the review. She knew Kevin was more sexually adventurous than she, but this came as a complete surprise nonetheless. She also confessed to being a bit envious of his daring and more than a little turned on by his newly found pleasure center in his bum.

Once I knew Gina was game for a little experimentation herself, I knew I had found just the right person (couple) to review the ever-so-popular WE-Vibe. She and Kevin graciously accepted my invitation and off they went to “work” on their review.

Before we hear back from the two lovebirds, let’s take a closer look at this amazing device.

To say the WE-Vibe is unique is an understatement. It’s downright revolutionary. This insertable vibrator, crafted of medical grade silicone (no phthalates), is the first of its kind G-spot stimulator that can actually be used while fucking. That’s right, you heard me! The WE-Vibe is hands free, strap free and wireless! Once in place this discreet little wonder (3.25 inches long and 1 inch wide, weighing only 2 ounces) creates both internal and external stimulation during partner play; so both partners will experience the thrill, don’t cha know.

we-vibe-hands-free-dual-vibrator.jpgThis is such a big deal for Dr Dick because I am forever hearing from women who are not receiving nearly enough stimulation during the old in and out. Their partners, of course, get off big time; but they are often left unsatisfied. They’re timid about stimulating themselves during the hump and they would never think of incorporating a traditional sized vibrator for fear it might alienate their man. It breaks my heart to hear stuff like that, but I do understand their predicament.

Now, thanks to the WE-Vibe, women folk don’t have to settle for less than the stimulation they want and need. Nor will they need to incorporate an invasive vibrator to get it. The We-Vibe is soft, waterproof and conforms to the female shape, making it comfortable and easy to use. It also has two speeds. And like I said, the men folk will really get off on it too. It’s a win-win situation all-round!

There’s one more terrific feature I want to point out before we get back to Gina and Kevin. The We-Vibe is rechargeable! I don’t know about you, but I await the day when all toys are rechargeable. Since I’ve started doing these reviews, my battery budget has gone through the roof. Naturally I am worried about the expense, but my overriding concern is for the environment. All these dead batteries are downright wasteful, as well as being a pollutant. It’s enough to give Al Gore (and me) a freakin coronary. A word to all toy manufactures — DO THE GREEN THING; make your products rechargeable!

I next see Gina and Kevin a week after our last meeting. Both of them sport one of those goofy freshly-fucked smiles. They can’t keep their hands off one another as they squirm and coo to each other on my couch. I’d like to just slap them both! One look at their faces and I know the We-Vibe played a big part in putting those ridiculous grins on their faces.

Dr Dick: “So kids, how was it? Or do I even need to ask?”
Gina: “It was great, Dr Dick! We had a ball. We used the WE-Vibe several times. And each time was wonderful.”
Dr Dick: Ya don’t say! “Ok, then walk me through it, as it were.”
Kevin: “We wanted to jump right in there just as soon as we got home after you gave us the toy.”
Gina: “Yeah, but then we read the instructions and discovered you have to charge the internal battery for 24 hrs first.”
Dr Dick: “That must have been a let down.” I add. They both agree.

Apparently this 24 hr hiatus only stoked the fires of their youthful ardor. Cum the next day, there was no holding back.

Gina: “We also learned another important lesson in our rush to get the fun started. You see these little dimples on the bottom here? They are the on/off/2-speed switches. We discovered that they are almost impossible to manipulate once the WE-Vibe is lubed up and in place.”
Dr Dick: “Ahhh, good point! So what did you do?”
Kevin: “Basically, we had to start over. I have to tell you; this wasn’t doing anything for my hardon. Gina removed the thing from her vagina; we wiped off the lube, turned the thing on; added more lube and reinserted.”
Dr Dick: “You guys are fuckin’ rocket scientists! So then what?”
Gina: “We had great sex!” Some of the best sex ever. I know we were like all primed for a real good go, but the WE-Vibe was amazing. I was more easily orgasmic with this thing inside me. And it’s so quiet; even on the high speed.”
Kevin: “I really got off on it too.” It was such a unique sensation. My cock was being stimulated while inside Gina. “I could feel it all the way in my balls. It was awesome!”
Dr Dick: Never fear, my dear, you secrets are safe with me. I mean, who would I tell anyway?”
Gina: “Since the WE-Vibe is waterproof we tried it another time in the bath.”
Kevin: “Yeah, that was hot.”
Dr Dick: “Ya don’t say!”
Kevin: “Yeah, I really got off on doin’ it doggie style. That was the best for me!”
Gina: “Hey, I thought we weren’t going to get too specific.”

We were winding up our debriefing session when Kevin spoke up.we-vibe-flexible-dual-action-vibrator.jpg

Kevin: “Actually we have one more thing to report.”
Dr Dick: “Really? Do tell.”
Gina: “This is so embarrassing.”
Kevin: “It is not. It’s perfectly normal.”
Dr Dick: “OK kids, out with it!”
Gina: “After our third use together, Kevin rolled over on his side and asked me if I would mind him using the WE-Vibe himself. At first I didn’t get it. I thought he wanted to share OUR toy with someone else. I think he noticed the disappointed look on my face and said; ‘What?’”
Kevin: “Yeah, it was at that moment that I realized Gina didn’t have a clue. So I had to spell it out for her. I told her that I wanted to use the WE-Vibe in my ass.”
Gina: “I didn’t know what to say. I was flabbergasted. He told me that he never had anything that vibrated in his bottom and he wanted to see how that felt.”
Kevin: “I’m sure I said my ass; not my ‘bottom’.”
Gina: “Whatever! At any rate, I stammered my way to ‘OK, I guess so!’ And that’s all it took. In a flash Kevin disappeared into the bathroom with the WE-Vibe. He cleaned it up with some soap and water and was back in bed before I knew it. You want me to stay while you do it?”
Kevin: “Of course I did! I wanted her to stay; in fact I wanted her to join in. This took some negotiation, but I finally got my way.”
Dr Dick: “You men are all alike!”
Gina: “As it turns out, I wasn’t freaked out at all. In fact, I got so turned on by watching him squirm with pleasure. He wanted me to stick a finger in his bottom. And I even did that. I don’t think we had ever been closer.”
Kevin: “While I was laying on my back with the WE-Vibe in my ass, I had a raging boner. Gina was right there fingering me and she was wet like crazy. So I told her to get on top of me. She rode my cock like there was no tomorrow.”
Gina: “It’s true; it was totally wild. I swear I could feel the vibration with him inside me.”
Kevin: I love her for helping me out, for being so understanding, for indulging me my little kink.”

Well there you have it, sex fans. Thanks to Gina and Kevin we discover that the WE-Vibe is a whole lot more versatile than we first thought. Kudos to both my reviewers for being so creative, open-minded and for their ability to see pleasurable potential where no one had looked before.

ENJOY
