The Tantric Remote Control

 from California Exotics

This one is fun!  I am very impressed with the range that the remote control has.  It makes for some fun foreplay.  I was actually able to use the remote through walls and I was able to go as far as 20 feet with an unobstructed path.

The tantric remote control was provided to me free of charge in exchange for an honest review.  This is part of the California Exotics Novelties Sexpert program.  This is in accordance with FTC guidelines.


The trantric remote control system consists of the remote control that fits easily into the palm of your hand.  It has scroll work and a purple background color.  The raised heart shape is the push button that controls the vibrations of the bean portion.

The  bean shaped piece that fits nicely into the females underwear is made of a plastic that has a velvety feel  to it.  It has no drag to it and glides across your skin nicely.  It has a curve to it so that it snuggles up to your external labia and clitoris area.  But, it  doesn't have any projections or bumps for the clitoris. It is completely smooth.
Both the remote and bean shaped portion are made from an ABS plastic that is non porous, latex and phthaltes free.  There is no smells or tastes associate with the system.

The remote control is 2  1/2 inches by  1  1/4 inches and has a thickness of   3/4  inch.   It runs on one  12 V battery that is included with the tantric.

The bean shaped piece is 3  1/4 inches by  2  inches.  It has a total thickness of  1 inch.  It is thick.  It holds 2 AAA batteries for power.  The battery cover slides off to insert the batteries.  There is not any waterproofing to this toy and the shape doesn't lend to insertion.  It is not meant to go there.


The tantric remote set has a total of 10 vibration settings.  To turn it on  you press and hold the heart shaped button for 2 to 3 seconds, you turn it off in the same manner.   It has a high, medium and low vibration, there are fast pulsations, slower pulsations, fast throbs and very fast throbs.  There are long slow pulses an escalation of pulsations and a chaotic mix of pulses and throbs.  I would say on the highest settings the vibrations could rate a 2  out of 5.  It is very quiet and couldn't be heard over the sheets or through a pair of underwear and pants.

You can easily wear this one in public and have your lover  10 feet away controling the vibrations.  To clean the bean shape you can use a wet wash cloth with antibacterial soaps and water, toy sprays or wipes.  Be careful as it is not waterproofed.  You can use any type of lubes with the ABS plastic.

The packaging is not discreet, it shows the toy through the clear plastic and I has product information all over the package.  The toy itself is  discreet because it doesn't look like a sex toy at all.

For someone interested in a couples toy who doesn't want to put out a lot of cash, this is a fair option. It would be more for a beginner couple beginning  their journey of using sex toys.  I found that the bean was a little thicker than what I would want to wear for any extended period of time.  It was comfortable enough, just too thick.  I was very impressed with the range in which the remote works and the vibrations are weak for me, it may be better suited to a female who has a sensitive clitoris.

***  I received this toy in exchange for an honest review as part of the Sexpert’s Program from California Exotics Novelties.  The fact that it was given to me doesn’t alter my thoughts on the Jumping Gyrator Power Scoop, this is a review and not an advertisement.  This is my honest opinion.  This is in compliance with the FTC’s guidelines.****

I have to admit that I am a spoiled snob about toys.  But, The Jumping Gyrator power scoop is a winner.  It feels so soft in my hands.  It’s 2 speeds are very powerful, it has the girth that I love.  It can be used for solo play or a foreplay tool.  It also works as a “personal massager”  and it does feel really good on the sore shoulders.  This is a g-spotter with the indentation to cup  your g-spot.

The Gyrator  power scoop is made form a PU cote ABS Plastic.  It is easy to clean up with  antibacterial soaps and water, toy sprays or wipes.  It does have a silver plated ring at the end of the vibrator that is not an issue with cleaning.  It has no smells to it.  It doesn’t really collect any lint or hair.  It feels velvety! The gyrator comes in blue, pink and purple.  The vibrations carry very well throughout the entire shaft.

The Gyrator  power scoop has a line that encircles the shaft and it is raised slightly, it can really be felt with use and it feels good,  the gyrator is very firm.  No flexibility in the shaft.  The indentation for the g-spotting action works great for me.  It hit’s me where it needs to.  The scoop seems to sit on your g-spot and cup it so when you move the vibe in and out it massages the g-spot.  The tip is rounded and I found that it was not “pokey” as some of the tips can be.

The Jumping gyrator power scoop has a total length of  8 inches with  6 ½ inches of it being insertable.  The girth is 1 ¾ inches wide.  I love the girth and the filling sensations.  The raised areas are approximately 1/ 16th to 1/8th of an inch as I mentioned they can be felt with use.



The jumping gyrator power scoop has 2 vibration settings, powerful and more powerful.  I do like the power and this one doesn’t disappoint.  To turn it on you press the end button once, to increase power you hit it a second time and to turn it off you hit the button one last time.  I found that I also liked using this one with the power off.  The power rates a 4 and 5 out of a 5 scale.  It is not that usual to find a battery operated toy with this much oomph!   Now they say that it is quiet but I wouldn’t call this one quiet in my interpretation.  At it’s highest setting is can be heard over the cover’s until you insert it.  Your body does muffle the sound.  I would rate it at a 1.  It can be heard over the covers when not inserted but not through any closed doors.

It runs on 3 AAA batteries.  To access the battery area you turn the lift the end cap.  The cap snaps into place with a rubber O ring present for waterproof ability.  It does pass the bath and shower test.

There really aren’t any special storage requirements with the ABS plastic, you an just throw it in your drawer or toy chest.

It comes from California Exotic Novelties  in a flexible  clear plastic box with product information on the box.  The box is not discreet.

I can definitely say that is not not for someone who has never had a toy before.  You need some experience to know that you like the texture and the girth.  It can look quite intimidating.  It is very filling.

It is not for those who like mild vibrations it does have power.

It's only drawback is the Batteries.

For me, I can definitely rate the Jumping Gyrator Power Scoop a 5 out of 5.  It gives me orgasms and I don't have to work at them.

The Lux Embrace was provided to me free of charge from California Exotics in exchange for an honest review.  It is part of the SEXPERTS review program.

The Lux Embrace is a hand held clitoral vibe.  You can insert the bunny ears for added stimulation and it’s great for external stimulation of your labia. You can use this one on your nipples and all over , the silicone does glide across your skin.  You can also use this on a man’s scrotal areas well as  your and your lover’s erogenous zones.

It has several ways that you can hold it to use it in different manners. You can use it for some perineal stimulation when holding the handle downwards You can hold it so that the handle points towards the ceiling and the ears are inserted into and the face bump on the curve hits your clitoris.  The Embrace could be used anally with the bunny ears inserted.  The handle will prevent it from going missing.  The silicone is safe to be sterilized.

The Embrace is completely smooth. No textures at all.  It’s silicone area  above the metal band is soft and velvety and it doesn’t collect any lint or hair.  The handle area  below the metal band is made from plastic and PU coated plastic, it too is very soft and velvety.   The silicone  is non porous, hypoallergenic, phthalates and latex free.  These materials are safe to share with partners.  They are easy to clean.  The silicone is firm but flexible in the face and  in the bunny ears .  The handle is solid.  There is no taste or smell to the Embrace.

The Embrace has a handle area that has a total length of approximately 6 ¼  inches, the bunny ears are  1 ¼ inches long and each ear has a diameter of ½ inch. The face area is 1 ½ inch long and has a diameter of 1 ½ inches.  The handle area has a diameter of 1 ½ inches.  It is very easy to hold on to and fits nicely in the palm of my hand.

The Embrace runs on 2 AAA batteries that are inserted in the bottom potion of the toy.  The cap comes off completely.  It is waterproofed with a silicone piece that completely sits over the battery area.  The cal exotics logo is on the cover of the battery compartment.  There are 2 buttons present to control the toy.  The button that is closest to the end of the toy turns it on and off.  The other button with the squiggle marks on it controls the settings.  There is a red light that glows in the  control area when the toy is on.  The light does get dimmer and matches the pulsations when in pulsation mode.

There are 7 settings:

1. Low constant vibration
2.  Medium constant vibrations
3.  High constant vibrations
4.  Escalating low to high vibrations
5.  Pulsating
6. Very fast pulsations
7. Fast and then slow pulsations in a chaotic fashion



The Embrace doesn’t have any memory so when you turn it off it starts at the lowest vibrations setting.     I can say that the vibrations are somewhat buzzy but they lean more towards rumbly.  I am impressed at how quiet this toy is.  It cannot be heard over the covers.  The vibrations are centered more in the bunny face and the ears movement can be felt  with the vibrations.  They do not move strong enough to be seen moving though.

The Embrace is easy to clean up with some antibacterial soap and water, or toy sprays.  It does pass the waterproof test.  It cannot be boiled or placed in the dishwasher due to it’s motor.  It can also be wiped down with at 10% bleach solution for good sterilization. Special attention needs to be paid to the metal band to make sure that the seam gets cleaned well.  It can be stored in the plastic box that it came in or in a toy pouch or I just place it in a plastic baggy to keep it from my other toys.  If you let silicones lay with each other they can ruin each other’s finishes.  Use only water based lube too so that the finish doesn’t get compromised.

Packaging

The Embrace comes in a clear plastic box from cal exotics.  I personally hate these boxes because the seams break apart and they get sharp.  The packaging is nothing special with some product information on it.

I would rate the Lux Embrace a 3 out of 5, it is a good external vibrator with decent vibrations.  It works good for an external clitoral vibrator, Great for beginners and those who aren't power queens.  Power Queens may be disappointed.  It works well as a teaser with foreplay.  When you have someone to help take you over the edge.  It is good for solo play but I found it just didn't give me Orgasms.

Thanks to California Exotic Novelties for providing me with the Lux Embrace.
