Review: Cal Exotics Lil’ Teaser – Pixie

The Lil' Teaser "Pixie" vibrator is the lastest toy that I've been sent by the goregous guys and girls at California Exotics. It's a dinky toy at a little over 3 inches long, with a single speed, and is powered by one "N" battery (included - yay!).

It's easy to turn on; simply by twisting the loop at the end - which is also where the battery goes. I like the simplicity of operation the single control provides, but it does mean you have to be a little careful about tightening/loosening the cap after battery insertion.

As far as feel goes, the Lil Teaser Pixie is made of silicone, and the vibrating bullet housed inside ends roughtly where the ridge (about an inch down) is - meaning that the top inch or so of the vibe is squishy and flexible.

The soft tip of the silicone carries the strong vibrations really well, meaning that this toy excels in clitoral stimulation, and its diminuitive stature means it a good size for the task.

It works well for shallow penetration too, especially as the ridge below the "head" of the toy allows for extra stimulation, and the unusual loop at the base allowed me to try holding it in more unusual angles and positions, which I liked.

I found that I got off mostly through clitoral stimulation with the Pixie, and the squishyness of the head of the toy meant I ould apply a lot more pressure than I normally would, which worked really well.

The packaging says seamless design. In reality there are seams, but the vertical seam running along the toy isn't noticable in use at all, and it doesn't look nearly significant enough to present any cleaning difficulties.

It also claims to be waterproof. It does have the plastic o-ring which waterproof toys need, but as the seal doesn't look quite right where the silicone meets the o-ring on mine, I don't intend to shower with the Pixie anytime soon.

Something that is really appealing about the Pixie is how quiet it is, easily comparible to bullets I own, if not quieter. Combine that with the size and unintimidating feel and I'd recommend it strongly for newcomers to sex toys, and those with privacy issues.

The Lil Teaser Pixie could also make for a really great gift as yet again, Cal Exotics are rocking cringeless packaging - every time I receive a toy with packaging free of half naked women pulling make believe sex-faces, I am glad of the journey sex toy manufacturers have been on in the last few years!

All in all, a good mini vibe with minimal issues, and a comfortable, unintimidating toy!

Having searched retailers for the Pixie, I haven't yet found any UK stockists (If you're a UK retailer who sells this toy, please feel free to email me!) but you can check out all the information on the toy at Cal Exotics' own site.

If you're in the states, EdenFantasys sell the Lil Teaser Pixie - hurray!

A kinky conundrum.

The last week or so has been one of discussion and contemplation in the main for me.

A few things had mounted up between R and I, and I'd been bottling my emotions and problems up. I know that's not exactly the best way to resolve, well, anything. But it doesn't mean it's any easier to just be upfront.

In the end, enough came to a head that last weekend, conversations were had. We discussed many things, one of which being our slightly misaligned sex drives (He reckons mine is higher than anyone else he's known... pfft.) - and I think we both understand one another slightly better on that front now.

Leading from that we also talked about our kinkier sides and what they mean to each of us.
In essence, our difference there is that for R, a bit of BDSM is for the bedroom, between us, and as an addition or prelude to sex. Now, for me, of course there is a sexual link in that kink and BDSM does get me hot - but it isn't necessarily a starter or a side dish... It could be the main event or at least an integral part of an activity in its own right. Getting that out on the table was positive, as it allowed us to recognise where the other was coming from.

He visited a fetish club near here years ago, before we got together. He didn't have a great time, due mostly to fairly external factors, but he also felt as though he'd explored that side of himself, and fulfilled the curiosity he'd experienced in that event. I, however, have never been to a club. I've been to a few munches now, and have kinky friends (as an aside, some of the friends I've made "on-scene" have been some of the best friends a girl could ask for, by comparison to former friends of mine), but so far my "scene experience" has been one hundred percent social.

As I mentioned earlier, we had quite extensive discussions last weekend. One of the things R raised was my need for kink, and a need he said he didn't feel he was fulfilling, or possibly could fulfill.

He brought up that he would be fine with it should I choose to engage in play with some of my kinky friends, as he knows that BDSM would be as far as it would go, and it would be strictly sex free... Which of course, it would be.

I've thought about it quite a lot since then, and I think I'm no further forward than I was a week ago. I don't know how I feel about that. I really don't. My mind keeps flip-flopping between thinking it'd be a great outlet for my kink side, and as the Mr and I discussed, take some of the perceived (from his side) pressure off him to be kinky as well as offering sex, and that I'd likely come home to him so wound up I'd tear him to shreds... to on the other side, thinking I might not be able to handle it at all and maybe I'd just feel really guilty and that, even though I may well have permission, I'd been unfaithful.

In the midst of this, in all honesty, I don't know if I feel like my kinky friends truly understand.

I'll get back to you when my head has stopped going round in circles.

Well hello there...

Yes, I have returned! From the depths of the murky internet-less wasteland that has been our household for the last two months!

Yeah, rly. Two months. How, oh how, is that logical or reasonable? I'll shut up now, or I may actually rant for days.

So, as you can probably imagine, I'm going to have heaps to catch up on, post about and review. Sorry for my prolonged absence, but I am back! I'll catch up properly soon, expect a torrent of reviews!

Where I've Been...

Nowhere especially, is the short answer. But between stressing about flat/house viewings, tenancy applications and insurance quotes, things have been more than a little hectic. My stress levels are through the roof and that's more than a little offputting.

The main thing sending my anxiety stratospheric is the whole house move malarky. We have just under 4 weeks left on this contract, and ideally want to leave before that - if nothing else, it makes moving easier. We still have no place to move to. We have the problematic situation of being mature students with monthly income - apparently, that's just no good... there are the agents who outright won't even speak to us, and then there are those who take our applications but pick DSS candidates over us as it's guaranteed rent payment. Things feel very hard right now.

Then, there is the job stuff. Stuff being my lack of one. I really need some income of my own, and we need more cash as a unit generally. To live right now has led to debts going right up - which is exactly the sort of thing that gets to me, so that's hard to handle too. I have a lot of applications in for posts at the moment though - so I'm allowing myself to be at least a tiny bit hopeful.

Finally, there's Uni. I don't know how I feel about it right now, and no-one seems to quite understand my point. Well, some do, to an extent at least. But.. Essentially I'm meant to be moving course soon, and starting at year 1 again. I'm 6.5k down in terms of student debt, and no further forward. Add the credit card and overdraft to that and it isn't nice. And my new course might be better, but I find it hard to know - it's not something I've ever studied before, so maybe it's just another gamble that probably won't even pay off.

But right now it's the first time I've known so many to be proud of me. And I don't want to let anyone down, so I have to find a way.

But that's mostly why I've been quiet. My mojo's been a bit... screwed, recently. It's been hard to write or think or test, And I feel guilty about that.

I'm sure I'll be back on fighting form soon.
