The Sex-A-Peel Vibrator!



First off, sorry for the delay in reviews, my dear readers. I've been a bit under the weather, and haven't really been feeling up to any sexiness. Between dealing with the new kitten (who is adorable, by the way) and dealing with my health problems, it's been a rough month.

But that aside, I've got a review for one of the only bananas that won't kill me-- the Sex-A-Peel Vibrator! As a handful of you know, I'm deathly allergic to two things: bananas and chili peppers. Which is lame, because I used to be able to eat both those things, and I still think that (while deadly) they're delicious.

So, imagine how excited I was to find out that I could review this! It's hot pink-- not my favorite color in the world-- but it's got a GREAT texture to it. The look is unique and fun, and it's just over-all a great thing to leave laying out on your coffee table. Which, incidentally, is what happened with us. I'd left it sitting on the table after taking it out of its package and fussing with the batteries because I'd wanted to show it to a friend before I used it.

Now, before this friend was able to visit, a different pair of friends-- we'll call them E and G -- came over. And hilarity ensued. E found it sitting on the table, and promptly investigated it, poking at the buttons and waving it around. G, on the other hand, took it from her and proceeded to chase her around my rather small apartment with the vibrating, pink banana.

It was so much fun! I hadn't even tried it, and I loved it.

However, that's about where my enjoyment of it stopped. This truly is a novelty toy, made more for it's incredible uniqueness than it is for actual use. It comes with a bullet vibrator that inserts into the banana itself-- which is incredibly difficult to get out. For someone like me, who has nerve damage in their hands, I couldn't wrestle with it myself. I had to have my husband do it, which was a tad embarrassing-- "Puppy, would you mind getting this bullet vibrator for me? It's stuck in the banana.".

The banana itself didn't translate the vibration well. Maybe it's because the bullet is small, but it just didn't seem to buzz enough to get me to where I needed to be. As I say with most things, I do need a LOT of 'power' to reach climax, especially when it comes to vibrators. This buzzing, hot pink banana just... didn't make my ice cream into a sunday, if you know what I mean.

I definitely think that this is a good toy for something that's more of a novelty or a conversation starter. It's fun to look at, it's great to put on the kitchen counter to get a laugh, and it's really tons of fun-- just not in bed. Or in the kitchen. Or on the couch. Or whereEVER you want to try it! But like with all toys-- your mileage may vary. You might absolutely love the sensations from this. For those of you out there who can climax with little vibration-- or who like food play! -- this might be the right toy for you.

My rating for it as a toy is, honestly, a little low-- I'm giving it a 4 out of 10. But as a centerpiece? This little buddy gets a 9.

Cheers!
