Getting a toy for my mum

Contributor: Ryuson Ryuson 05/05/2012

Hello! Mothers day is coming up and I think that I might end up getting my mum something off of Eden. During a recent trip to the mall my mum ended up seeming very interested in their 'handbag' massagers. She hasn't had sex since she had me (My dad was a terrible person and got kicked out soon afterwards) and I feel like it's really a part of her life that's lacking.

The only problem is... What do I get her?! She has a hitachi and an Acuvibe for her back, but I don't know if she's used them otherwise or not. I don't know if I should go insertable or external, or even if she needs something waterproof.

I've picked out a few that look good, but feel free to give me any suggestions you have! Thank you so much!

I am open to getting several things or one pricy thing, but would prefer to stay under $80 (with the sale and such.) Thank you so much!

If I were going to buy one of these for my mother, I would choose the Mia for two reasons.
First, I have heard excellent things about its performance. But second, it has a sophisticated look. It looks like an expensive toy, without being all that expensive.

I'm actually doing something similar for my mom, buying off Eden.. but I actually made her a Dona kit, she liked the mangosteen perfume, so I'm making her a basket with the body wash, lotion, bath bubbles, and 2 candles, one mangosteen and one pomegrante.. so she gets to try out a new smell too.

Do let us know what you ultimately decide.

I got my mom a LELO Liv last year and it was the perfect choice for her. I highly recommend it as a classy, unintimidating choice From your choices, I most lean towards the Tango for external (or the Mia, but I would want to get the newer, more powerful version rather than the old model) or either the Fleur De Lis silicone desire (Purple) or the Rock star Stevie (Sea foam) for internal.

I had the same idea as Badass for my mother's day present, only I went with all pomegranate and got her bath salts since she's had a total knee replacement and has fibromyalgia, and likes to soak in the tub.

I know my mother uses her wand massager to masturbate since she's had some mediocre-to-awful experiences with cheaper toys. I would suggest you avoid that route. Get her something higher quality, with a warranty if possible. The Tango's a toy I've had my eye on for awhile, so I suggested that, but consider other vibes with similar features too.

Of these, I'd go for the Tango. Small, discreet, powerful, rechargeable, and waterproof (always nice to have the option to take it in the tub, even if you ultimately never do so). Let us know what you get and how she likes it, okay? And if she's never visited Eden for herself, show her the site - she might gain a new passion, hahaha!

Ryuson, I am probably close to your mom's age and as women get to a certain age some of us just can't orgasm as easily as we did when we were younger. I have never been interested in Mia because I'm pretty sure it would be very arousing, but not strong enough to help me climax. I need a strong 4 or 5 vrooms! I love my tango! That would be my suggestion. If Mimi gen I is still in stock that would also be a nice gift that might be a little more affordable. Those are my 2 favorite rechargable vibes.

I think it is great you have that kind of relationship with your mom!

I personally would go with the tango.

Go for luxury and get her the Lelo. Aside from being a very lovely toy, it comes packaged nicely. I find the We-vibe silicone to be a little too sticky, the plastic on the Lelo is very nice.

The tango is so versatile. I'd go with that.

Actually, if you're willing to go a few dollars over your budget, you can get her the new Mimi, or the Gen 1 is on sale for $63. That is a NICE toy and also is packaged nicely, and is silicone (the most delicious buttery silicone ever!)

I'd go with the Tango. Then if she likes things like that you could get something insertible.

I agree tango. Although Mia would be a great option as well. I think Mia looks the most like a hand bag massager. But tango is waterproof.

I think you should go for the Mia.

Why don't you ask her whether she might be interested in those toys, before you spend your points/money on them?

That's a good point, Rossie. I might talk to her a bit more about it tonight.

If I were to pick a toy I would say Mia. I am too looking for stuff but I most likely will give her bath stuff like Venus bath salt.

I'd get something insertable with a high vibration/intense pattern

I would get my mom the Mia, hands down. My mom won't use any lube because she's too sensitive to infections. Since Mia is a silky plastic she wouldn't need lube (unlike the draggy silicone of the tango). The Mia looks luxurious and higher quality too. The Lelo packaging makes for nicer gift giving too. It also fits your moms interest in purse-size vibe too.

I've heard good things about the We-Vibe Tango.

Tango is plastic! That's what I'd get.

Haven't had the chance to talk to her yet. If anyone can think of an awesome first insertable toy that is in the price range let me know!

I would recommend the Mia or the Tango; both have warranties, are rechargeable, and strong, but Tango is stronger and waterproof!

I would get an external vibrator like the mia or tango

I personally would go with the Tango because of the vrooms. I've heard great things about it. And the Mia second. And awesome for you buying something for your mom.

she has a hitachi, why not get her a add on (sleeve) toy for the hitachi?

That's so nice of you. I like tango as an option if she's comfortable with it.

I always hear good things about the Mia.
