I think they made the product pages to assign the DR's, and then presto-invisible'd them again.

I guess the only answer there is we'll have to pool our resources! If you ever drop by my state, you can totally borrow my Squildo!

(And, you can make passably good food even without an epic oven. But there is only one way I know of to have a squid inside of you that doesn't go against animal cruelty laws.)

I think it will work for most people, especially if regular oral works for you. But since my clit needs a lot of pressure, I'm out

But I'm really glad I could share all this information! I was so thrilled to get to feel everything!

I'm telling the store name by PM only, just so I'm not ridiculously easily trackable, but no, my Split Dildo is in the mail still! They ship from Russia.

Wow... this is really a banner week for me, isn't it?

A discontinued non-realistic VixSkin toy, a Squildo, a (n obviously discontinued) Jollies anal depth warm-up tool, a Split dildo, and then my order from last week that I didn't get to receive yet because I'm on the road, so I'll have Olga and my first ever rabbit when I get home! Wow!

I wish I could have been there with you.

There must be a fair amount of variation between one Vixskin dildo and another of the same model. My Outlaw is DEFINITELY bigger than my Lonestar. Here's a lineup of Lonestar, Outlaw and Maverick:



Lonestar fits nicely inside me. Outlaw stretches me - a bit too much for my liking. My Lonestar is 5 3/4" around at it's widest. Outlaw is a full 6 1/4" around.

And I've heard others report significant variations in squishiness between different units of the same model.

Did the store have Jopen Intensity? I'm guessing not since you didn't mention it.

Wow.
I think ... I think I have to get that squid.

I feel dirty for wanting that.


... not saying that's a bad thing, mind you.

Correct, they did not have it or I'd have given you a paragraph! Sorry, Tuesday! Hopefully Eden will pick it up soon!

The leaf line is making me so excited!! Wow, that's quite a trip, I'm so jealous a brick and mortar store carries so much; the stores near me are quite sparse. They tend to specialize in porn, which unfortunately, isn't my area of interest.

The Squildo looks so... cool. I would never use it, but I would love to display it simply for an art piece. It's just so fun to look at.

I know this might seem personal, but would you be able to PM the name of this place? I would love to pay a visit in case I'm ever near by!

congrats on getting your awesome toys!!

Damn, you got Olga? And I have never even heard of Squildo! Is it hard to use with the bulky tentacles on the handle side? I can't help but wonder whether they weigh the toy down and pull it out. It's so cool looking though!

Oh, and I've been SO curious about the Split Dildo for some time now. The reviews are quite mixed on that one: people either LOVE it or passionately HATE it. There doesn't seem to be a middle (or "meh") ground with that one. I can't wait to hear how you like it!

I'm officially jealous, but cheers to you for such an awesome sex toy windfall!

I feel bad asking because I don't want to be overly nosy, but I'm dying to know what store you visited, too! I only know about Babeland on the West coast, so if there's a major brick-and-mortar store anywhere closer to me, I'd love to know about it! We have a decent sex toy store near us, but it is rather small. Plus, they only started carrying higher end toys after I made a few suggestions. I'd like to see what the true pro shops carry! They'd have stuff I've never even heard about (which would make it like a trip to a candy store for me!).

Hooray!! I'm also happy the motor is close to the tip on Spirit. So excited!

I know, right?

It's the only thing I've got with eyes, and I'm pretty sure it'll stay that way.


And SS---in reply about the bulkiness, I'm going to have to test it further to say for sure.

LOVE the Squildo! Great find!

It sounds like you had a lot of fun in the store, I wish we had a good store here! The last time I went into one of our stores, I was shocked by the prices and disappointed with the limited brands available.

OMG ANTIPOVA I AM SO JEALOUS. The last time I was in an even semi decent B&M shop was in Germany. I'm kicking myself now because I didn't look at the fun factory G4s long enough *kick*. Here in the states...the nicest vibe that I've ever found in any store was the Le Reve

Also, how flexible is the G4 Tiger. Can it be straightened easily? And what is the Leaf line?

Yeah, the last time I had been to a B&M store before this weekend, I had been trying to find a harness and dildo... and all the options I could smell right through the packaging This place was *so* much better!

The Tiger was not too flexible at all, the curve would provide good stimulation.

The Leaf line is the new set of vibrators (mostly clitoral) from Swan, the company that was in charge of the Jopens outside of the US market. They're super pretty and green, and I'm guessing their product pages will be up again soon.

we can make the Squildo very squishy or very firm, or in between... we are a small company but skilled cocksmiths.

How hard or soft would you want it?
