When it comes to Babeland toys, I've usually stuck with those that are best for solo play. The husband and I are a busy couple, and sometimes we don't get to sample the bedroom goods as often as we would like -- and honestly, what's a woman to do when she needs to get off, but the man she gets off with isn't handy at the moment? Vibrators really are a girl's best friend.
But the We vibrator is in a class of its own. Designed to be worn during couple's play, it's a dream come true for those who love to have a hands-free experience. I've always thought the effort of holding the vibrator in the proper spot took away from the thrill of the fucking -- the We vibrator makes that a moot point. It fits comfortably on a woman's body, with the larger side on her clitoris, providing direct stimulation, while the smaller side slips inside to tease the G-spot. When your lover slides into you, it provides a nice jolt of stimulation to his naughty bits, too. The careful design means it hugs your body without being too tight, can stay in place during even the hardest thrusting, and gives a mutual thrill that I have yet to find with any other toy.
We played with the We in a variety of positions and angles, and found that the best position was -- well, all of them! My main concern was that the We would slip out of me right when one of us was on the cusp of an orgasm, but it stayed firmly in place throughout all that action. We even tested out the claims that it provides hours worth of charge, and they were right. This thing is like the Energizer bunny on speed. We were worn out long before the We ran out of juice. (See the lengths we here at Clean Sheets will go for your satisfaction? We're dedicated, I swear.)
The possibilities with the We are endless. Wear it while going down on your man, and he won't have to worry about making you come, too -- with the We in place, you can both get off. If you're into bondage, the We can be a delicious device of sensual torture. Once you're tied up and the We is revving away against your clit, your lover has both hands free to do whatever he might want to do, which means more pleasure for both of you. The way it fits on your body also offers the option of wearing it under your clothes -- but if you decide to do that, keep in mind that no matter how many times you come, the We will keep going and going and going. Some women will love that little perk, and others will be too sensitive for it.
The We is charged by an AC adaptor, which means there are no dying batteries to worry about, and the strength of the vibrations can last for hours. There are two speeds, both of which provide quite the bang for your buck, and the switch is conveniently located inside the We, right in the larger tip, so you can switch speeds with a single touch of your finger. It's also waterproof, so let the water games begin!
It even comes with a hard-shell carrying case that looks for all the world like something you would put eyeglasses in, so if you had your bag checked at the airport or a friend happened to see the case tucked into your purse, they would just assume you were packing sunglasses instead of a nice little fucktoy.
In mentioning the wonders of the We, I would be remiss in mentioning one of our favorite companions for it -- the new Babeland Naturals Organic Lube. It comes in a classy blue bottle with a pump, so you don't have to pause the action to get the slickness you need. We leave it sitting right there on our bedside table, and anyone who might see bottle would think it was simply lotion. But no lotion was ever this good for you. The organic lubes are free of all those nasty chemicals, and are pleasing to even the most die-hard vegans among us. My favorite part of the lube? It's not tested on animals. This is always a good thing. My favorite part of its performance? The sweet undercurrent of lemon scent -- and the way my man grins when I reach for the bottle.
Pair the We Vibe and the Naturals Lube on an evening when it's just you, your partner, and your imagination. Challenge yourself to find the answer to the question that begs to be asked: Can we outlast the We?
