Summer is here, and so are
the waterproof vibrators. These hot little numbers well help you heat up
while you are cooling down in the pool, as they are impervious to water.
Well, sort of. In actuality, we have found that the items we have tested
do require a little extra care, as they sometimes do leak. When you are
finished with them, open them up, take out the batteries, and let them
air dry. This practice will keep them humming for a long time.
The leading manufacturer of waterproof
vibrators is California Exotic Novelties. No surprise there, since California
leads in the number of swimming pools in the nation. They have a number
of models that we really like, and here are a few of our favorites.
The
Waterproof
Delights are made of a clear jelly that provides a soft exterior and
very soft tip with a firm interior. The motor provides fairly strong vibration
that works well underwater. The blue version is 8 " and has a nice bend
in it that we like, while the the white one is straight. One nice feature
on both is the very wide base That vibrates against the vaginal opening
when fully inserted.
These
very soft little Mini Waterproof Vibes are quite small and unobtrusive.
At only 4 1/2", they are easy to slip into a swimsuit pocket and make only
a very small bulge (although that may not be the impression you want to
give).
One
of the most popular vibrators of all time is the Pocket Rocket. We were
quite excited to find that there is a variation that is waterproof, and
this always winds up getting packed when we go away on a trip. We were
at a party house with a large indoor pool and we brought this along and
almost didn't get it back. It is called the Mega Mite, and while
it is admittedly not quite as well made, durable, or reliable as the original,
and the switch is a little fussy (you have to make sure you put the two
halves together just the right way after inserting the battery and not
rotate it too far), it can go where no Pocket Rocket could go before.
Another
extremely popular vibrator is the Rabbit Pearl. This underwater version
is smaller and lacks the rotating pearl part of the original, but it still
has those wonderful vibrating ears that make the Rabbit Pearl so popular.
It is made of a soft jelly material., and with this version you won't wind
up with a drowned bunny.
One
of the hottest new introductions are the Water Toys. The Blue Thin
Probe is 8" long, the Pink Clittorific Dong is 7 1/2" long, the Purple
Swing Dong is 8", and the White G-Spot is 7 1/2". These are made of a soft
and supple jelly like material that has a really cool sheen to it, so they
look great in and out of the water.
All of these toys are very fun, and if
you plan to use them in the water you might consider using waterproof lube.
Eros Bodyglide, Wet Platinum, and ID Millennium are all silicone based
lubes that are unaffected by water. Personally, we would limit any penetration
to the bath or a private pool where we know the water is relatively clean.
For everywhere else, the Mighty Mite is a great choice, as it is designed
primarily for clitoral stimulation.
