My good friends over at Body Jungle spoil me already, and just to make that point stronger they sent me ANOTHER toy. I picked out the Le Reve Dolphin almost entirely because of the interesting shape, and I feel like I got a bit more than I bargained for.
This vibrator comes in a black cardboard box. It lists the name of the toy and on the front and sides it has giant pictures of the toy itself. On the back it lists a blurb about the toy as well as describes the key features. This box isn't discreet, but it also doesn't have any naked women on it or lewd sayings.
Inside the box, your toy comes in a white insert. It doesn't come with any additional instructions, but between having basic knowledge of how to put batteries in something and what the buttons do, it's fairly intuitive. This toy takes 4 AAA batteries, so you should make sure that you have those on hand or toss some in with your order.
This toy is about 9 inches long altogether, but the insertable portion is about 5.5 inches long. It's also about 4.25 inches around, making this just a bit thicker than most 'standard' toys out there. It tapers off at the tip into what resembles a dolphins nose, but it doesn't have as much of a 'face' as a lot of toys out there.
Here is the Dolphin compared to a Pen
Here is a closeup of the 'face'
This is intended mostly as an insertable toy, meant to stimulate the g-spot. You also can use it clitorally, but I personally found that it was a bit too big to be easy to maneuver. I would NOT recommend ever using this toy anally. It has no flared base, real handle, or retrieval cord so even though it is quite large it could still get 'lost' inside you and require a visit to the emergency room. The good news is that Body Jungle has a nice selection of anal safe toys for you to hop over and look at.
There are three buttons on the Dolphin: a power button, a vibrations button, and a rotations button. In order to turn any of the settings on you have to first push the power button, and then you press whichever function you want to turn on. The cool thing about this is that you can have it vibrate and rotate at the same time!
Here is a closeup of the button panel
There are four different rotational settings, and they increase in speed. The first one is fairly slow and makes about 1 rotation a second. The second makes about 1.5 rotations a second. The third makes about 2 rotations a second, and the fourth makes about 3 rotations a second.
The vibrational intensity is about a 3.5 out of 5 on the power scale. The settings are as follows:
1) BZZZZ BZZZZZ BZZZZZ
2) BZZ BZZ BZZ BZZ
3) BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ
4) BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (constant)
They are about a 3.5 out of 5 on the volume scale, as well. The can't be heard through a door and are easily masked by the TV or by music, but if you have very thin walls it may be able to be heard if someone was listening for it. The rotational patterns are much quieter, and can't be heard even across the room.
This toy is made of TPR. TPR is slightly porous, so you shouldn't use this toy between two partners unless you want to use a condom over it. The material is fairly shiny and a bit tacky. The tackiness of the material makes this toy a lint magnet and it also means that lube is probably going to be a must when using this toy.
While the Dolphin is marketed as being waterproof, I wouldn't even consider it to be 'splashproof.' The battery compartment isn't super secure, and to make things worse there is no o-ring to keep water from harming all of the electrical bits inside this toy. If you like to play in the bath or shower, this toy is not the one for you.
My main issue with this toy, other than it not being waterproof, is that it's just a bit too long for me. The rotations start about 4.5 inches down the shaft. Most of the time I only insert a toy about 3-3.5 inches, so often I found that the end was rotating outside of my body instead of the tip rotating inside my body. If you often insert toys that far this isn't going to be a problem for you at all, but for someone who likes shallower stimulation I found that the rotations aren't going to work too well for me.
Overall, the Le Reve Dolphin is not worth the steep price tag for me. For only having one (loud) intensity setting and 4 patterns, not being waterproof like it claims, and not being able to use the rotational function because I couldn't insert it far enough, I feel like this is more of a $35 toy than a $50 toy.
If this toy sounds amazing to you (a rotating toy without having to get a rabbit? Woot!) you can find it here on Body Jungle. If this doesn't sound like it would tickle your fancy (maybe you're like me and can't insert toys that far) my friends still have TONS of vibrators for you to peruse and maybe see if there's something else that you'd like to try instead.
Overall:
Noise level: 3.5/5
Power: 3.5:5
Max. rotational speed: 3 per second
Waterproof? No
Recommended? Maybe

Luv Touch Rainbow Review
My newest friends, the guys over at Body Jungle, have agreed to sponsor my blog. Body Jungle has just gotten their feet off the ground as an adult store, but the have an immense amount of inventory and they add more every time I check back. When I was asked to suggest some things that I would like to review I spent at least a few hours wading through their thousands of vibrators, their wide selection of dildos, and, later that week, I tackled their more sensual sections and oogled at all of the sexy things there. If you have something you've been looking for, they probably have it! But enough about their awesome site and on to my review of the first product they sent me to try out.
Every time I went into the local Spencers at my mall I oogled their cute little Luv Touch toys, but I really don't like the store and couldn't stand the thought of giving them my business, especially for something that I could find online. When given the opportunity to review the Neon Luv Touch Rainbow I snatched it up, and I'm not disappointed at all.
Body Jungle delivered this toy to my house in a nondescript cardboard box. The mailing address is completely boring and normal, and it was packed with paper to keep it from rolling around and breaking. The toy itself comes in a cute little box that, while not very classy, has no lewd pictures or sayings on it. I don't store it in here because it's a bit larger than the toy itself, but it would be fine if you wanted to keep yours in it.
This vibrator comes in several bright colors, and mine is blue. It is intended to be a long-shafted toy with just a bit of a g-spot curve. Body Jungle carries the whole line that also has a toy for more intense and pointy g-spot stimulation just called the Neon Luv Touch G-spot, but I went with this since I like rounder, less intense stimulation.
Because of the length, this would be safe for very advanced anal users, but I wouldn't trust someone new to anal play not to let it slip in side them. The good news is that if you want a cute anal toy that has some oomph, the site had plenty safe toys to pick from.
The Rainbow is made of plastic, which is nonporous and easy to care for. It doesn't pick up lint or gunk, so if you keep this in a clean place you can just wash it after every use. Plastic can be disinfected with a 10% bleach solution, and I would highly recommend doing this when you plan on switching partners or orifices.
This toy is about 6 inches long in all, and is about 3.5 inches around. This makes it a great length for both beginners and for those who just don't need something large to thrust with. I really like toys with this girth because it doesn't leave me feeling 'stretched.' If you need a place to start, this whole line and especially this toy is a great introduction to toys. Here are two pictures showing the design/size of the toy and the slight pattern and curve to the tip.
Not only does this vibe perform, but it looks wonderful as well! It has a turn dial base control, which is great and makes it easy to steadily increase the speed. My only complaint is that it starts off strong and increases to stronger, so it's not the best for those that like weak vibrations to build up to stronger ones. The lowest setting was perfect for me to use clitorally.
This toy is also 100% waterproof. This is great for me because I usually do all my playing in the public showers since I live in the dorms at my school. It also can't be heard over the shower, even on the loudest mode.
This vibrator is a great deal for the price and I would highly recommend it if you're looking for something that won't break the bank but can be used both internally and externally. It's waterproof and quiet, and the only thing that I could think to change would be to make it a bit weaker on the lowest setting. If it looks like something that would work for your body, you have very little (a tad bit over $15) to lose. Go have a look at the Rainbow from my new buddies at Body Jungle!

Pleasure Bullet Review
This is not as much a sponsored review as a review of the free Pleasure Bullet by Pipedream that I got for signing up for an Our Naughty Secrets
account. Mine is pink, and shiny, and adorable! I also would like to
point out that I got it in the mail two days after signing up, so they
have super fast and reliable shipping. If anyone was concerned about the
discretion of their shipping (as I often am,) here's a picture of their
shipping envelope.
The bullet itself came in a nonreclosable blister pack. It's not great for storage, but it serves it's purpose and is a great way to minimize waste and not take up a lot of room in your trash can. While it doesn't state what types of batteries this toy takes, it does tell you that it's waterproof. Just an aside, these would be super cute party favors for an 'adult' themed birthday party or a bachlorette party!
I was concerned when I got this that I would have to run out and try to find it watch batteries, but I was pleasantly surprised that it already came with them. This toy takes 3 watch batteries that go into the base, which unscrews from the body of the toy.
Bullets are intended up be used externally on the clitoris and nipples, and are great for both solo and couple use. I don't recommend them for anal play or insertion. They're a great way to experiment with sex toys or to introduce them into a relationship. While this is a fairly cheap one, Our Naughty Secrets offers a wode variety of prices and quality on bullet vibrators.
This bullet is controlled by a push button base, which is super easy to press. When you press it, the one setting comes on. When you press it again the setting turns off. If you had this in your purse you may want to take the batteries out because the button may be easy to have accidentally go off in transit.
Overall, this is a great, adorable toy.
Loudness- 2.5/5
Power- 3/5
Waterproof- Yes
Price VS Quality- 5/5
Overall rating- 4/5
