Review: Sqweel
Jul 10th
The Sqweel was hyped through the roof when it first came out, but I honestly was never too excited about it. The reviews were mixed and I couldn’t think of spinning flaps of TPR silicone actually feeling like oral sex. More like something trying to use my clit as a punching bag – yeah, not fun. Also, some people were saying you have to pry your labia open and cannot use a dildo because it blocks your vagina, so again, I was really skeptical. Who wants to pry your labia open and having your vagina saying, “HEY BITCH, WHERE BE THE DILDO?”
Fortunately, I really had none of those issues! Does it feel like oral sex? Not really unless you like fast licking that feels a little rough. Does it get me off? Yes.
Let me elaborate. I like a lot of suction during oral sex – constant suction basically, so I knew going in that this wasn’t going to feel like oral to me. However, it can feel vaguely like a tongue if you use a ton of lube – an overzealous tongue, but still a tongue. I really do mean a ton of lube. I used about 3-4 times as much lube as I use with a larger than average sized silicone dildo.1 Only then did it cease to feel like I was being flogged repeatedly in the clit with pieces of tire.
Epiphora complained of the greatest sin of all – vagina blockage.2 Impeding vaginal justice by blocking out dildos is just not something I like. However, I ended up using the Tantus Motion and had absolutely no issues. I figure I must use the Sqweel at a different angle than the majority of people who have reviewed this since I seem to be the only one that didn’t have this problem. Therefore, if you get the Sqweel, you may want to take some time fucking around with the angle before you get it right. It’s a pain, but if it prevents vagina blockage, isn’t it worth it?
My only other complaint about the Sqweel is that it’s kind of a bitch to clean. Taking it apart is okay, but getting it clean and trying to keep water away from the battery compartment takes a little effort. However, it should be said I’m used to throwing a dildo in the sink with soap, rinsing and that’s it. If you usually clean toys that require more than that, you shouldn’t really have an issue.
Overall I think the Sqweel is really innovative and interesting, but if you’re wanting something to feel like oral sex keep on waiting for the next invention.

Review: LELO Ina
Jan 22nd
Since the release of the LELO Ina there has been an overload of posts, tweets and forum posts of people professing their need for Ina. I was lucky enough that my first review for the wonderful PleasureGalaxie.com gets to be of Ina. For those of you not in the know, Ina is LELO’s first dual-stimulation vibrator. It’s silicone, rechargeable, and comes in the best colors I have ever seen in a sex toy – bright purple, lime green or orange. I chose orange.
You probably want to know how the toy actually works, and considering it’s been reviewed to death already I’m going to be honest and short. I don’t want to ramble about packaging and repeat the same thing you’ve already read twenty times.
To start out, it’s definitely cool looking – my boyfriend, who is obsessed with modern furniture, thinks it would make a good art piece to put on the wall – I’m not inclined to disagree with that. But the thing is, after the design the positives start a downward slope. Sure, it’s reasonably strong, but if I only wanted a strong vibe I’d go for something cheaper like a bullet. It has patterns, but so do other things that cost a fraction of the price.
It does hit my g-spot reasonably well, but it’s not anything like I need to have a g-spot orgasm. If you like some light brushing of your g-spot, this will do it, but if you need pressure then you need to look elsewhere. It doesn’t have the rotating pearls that some rabbits have, but I really don’t miss them since most of them jam with clenching anyway. However, if you like them you may not like the Ina as the stimulation of the vaginal opening is minimal.
But what’s my main pet peeve with this thing? The clit sitmulator is ROCK. HARD. As in, it doesn’t move. When you try to place it over your clit it slides off to the side and grinds into your pelvic bones, which might be the most annoying thing ever. This also impedes your ability to thrust with Ina since thrusting will cause the clit stimulator to slip to the side constantly. Thrusting is close to impossible unless you want the clit stimulator to slip and clamp on your bones. No thanks.
A couple of reviewers have mentioned they like the pressure, but I fail to see how you can like the pressure if the pressure doesn’t even reach your clit. I realize this is based on personal anatomy, so maybe they really do like the pressure, but let me tell you – it’s not going to fit everyone. If LELO would have made the clit attachment flexible the entire tone of this review would change.
The vibration patterns are interesting at least. There is one in particular that alternates pulsation between the shaft and the clit stimulator which is especially nice (that is if I can get it to stay on my clit). There are also some rollercoaster patterns, pulsations, and a number of levels of steady vibration. It definitely has variety, but in the end that variety doesn’t change the rigidity of the clitoral stimulator.
So what’s the verdict on the Ina? Is it worth the high price? I’ll let you decide.
The great: well-designed, great color variety, strong vibrations, variety of vibration patterns
The not-so-hot: The clit stimulator is stiff to the point I thought it might break off during use, there is a slight smell right out of the package, the buttons are not very sensitive, the shaft is also rock hard.
