Lovers rendezvous kit - sensual kit by Evolved Novelties - review by Tuesday

This cute kit is a wonderful assembly of fun and useful items to make a romantic evening that much more special.

It is contained in a small plastic can and will therefore be easy to take with you to add fun and romance to an overnight excursion or a night at home.

The Rendezvous Kit is composed of multiple items.



One lubricated latex condom.

Twenty eight unscented red rose petals which appear to be made from a somewhat stiff woven fabric.

An artificial tea candle, powered by a CR2032 lithium battery, which is about the size and shape of a nickel. The battery is included.

Two plastic romantic game dice.

A one ounce bottle of JO System water-based lube. This lube contains no petrochemicals or L-arginine, but does contain parabens and glycerin. While parabens are used in a wide variety of personal products, some users may be sensitive to them. Glycerin can increase the risk of yeast infections.

A small, hard plastic vibrator powered by an AA battery (battery not included). The vibrator is scent free. It has a smooth surface. The only texture is the rings that encircle it near its base.

A vibrating ring. It does not say what the ring is made of, but it looks and feels like TPE. It is soft, stretchy and scent free. All around the ring are tiny bumps. There are also soft, bristle-like extensions on one side of the vibrating part of the ring. It does not look like whatever powers the vibrator in the ring can be replaced.

The condom is a Paradise brand lubricated condom. It has a straight shaft design and is of an average size.

The tea candle has a small white plastic base and a colorless, but cloudy "flame" that glows orange when lit. There is a simple on/off switch on the bottom of the base to control this. The battery is probably replaceable but is not easily removable.

The vibrating ring is very stretchy and can easily accommodate the largest man. The vibrating portion that suspends from the bottom of the ring is controlled by a sliding on/off switch at one end of the vibrator. It is not very noisy.

The dice are about an inch on each side. One is pale pink. The other, a darker pink. Each side has a heart and several small flowers engraved in white on it. One die lists things to do. The other specifies a body part. This could be fun when taken in the right spirit. Here are some sample rolls to give you an idea of how they work:

rub vibe lips
lick neck
kiss ears
oil up your choice

The vibrator is four and a half inches long and three inches in circumference. It is controlled by a dial at the base.

The rose petals are each two and a half inches long - the size of petals from a full, large rose.

The condom is thin and held up well without breaking.

The vibrator is of moderate strength. It may not be strong enough to allow you to finish. But it's intended for sensual and foreplay purposes, so perhaps this doesn't matter. The kit is designed for couples after all. The vibrator can also be used for extra stimulation during partner sex or to enhance oral sex for either partner.

Turning the dial base of the vibrator allows you to control the strength of vibrations. It is an easy dial to turn. When turning it back to the off position, the cap sometimes unscrewed at the same time.

The lubricant is of decent quality. It lasts a reasonably long time. It does tend to become a bit sticky as it dries, however.

The rose petals look wonderful scattered on the floor. Who wouldn't be delighted to discover them and the invitation to fun that they imply. The petals are unaffected by water. They could trail up to and lead into a bathtub if desired. They are quite durable.

The vibrating ring fits easily on any size man. The vibrating part is small and provides only minimal stimulation. It is not loud. The noise it makes will probably not bother you during use. When the stimulating extensions on the vibrating unit are on top, the vibrations will benefit the woman as they contact her clitoris. With the vibrating unit on the bottom, the man will feel the mild sensation. In practice the vibrations are so weak that in neither configuration do they provide significant vibration. The ring only lasted about twenty minutes before it died. It is probably intended for a single use.

The tea candle is a complete win. It looks good, provides a lovely atmosphere, doesn't become warm and after several hours of use is showing no signs of dimming. It can be set out on its own or inside a wine glass or can even set inside the base of the kit's tube.

This set can be easily stored in the original plastic tube. The condom and vibrating ring are single use items, but the rest of the set can be used multiple times. The only care required is washing the vibrator. Since it is nonporous and waterproof, washing it with soap and water is sufficient for cleaning. To maximize battery life, remove the battery between uses.

The Lover's Rendezvous Kit comes in a smoky gray plastic tube with a rounded top with a metal loop that can serve as a handle extending from the top. It is about the size of a soda can. It opens an inch from the bottom of the tube. The tube is sturdy enough that you can store the contents of the tube in the kit if you desire.

Inside the tube, the dice, condom and cock ring are all plastic wrapped.

Outside the tube is a glossy red, white and black label lists the contents of the tube, the fact that the vibrator requires one AA battery and that the kit comes with a one year warranty.
