Chino, CA – Armed with information, willing to try new things — and blog about it — a new generation of adult consumers is finding more fun and enjoyment in their sex lives than ever before. The Sexperts blog program from California Exotic Novelties gives these users a platform to share their experiences and inspire others to try something new.

California Exotic Novelties Vice President of Sales, Jackie White, knows first hand: “there’s no question that online information-sharing has been an amazing asset to the adult toy industry,” says White. “The Cal Exotics ‘Sexperts’ blog program allows users to compare notes about what works for them. And ‘word of mouth’ from satisfied customers is the best kind of advertising!”

Since its introduction at the 2009 ANME show, Sexperts has grown to 100 qualified bloggers worldwide and nearly 1,000,000 views each month. The program operates by sending Sexperts a monthly toy to review and monitoring the results. The products are a cross-section of new releases from low, middle and top price points.

“When Al Bloom and Dave Newman Advertising first came to me with this program, I was a little skeptical about what it would mean for us,” says California Exotic Novelties President and Founder, Susan Colvin. “But after almost a year we realize that social networking is a valuable marketing tool and I’m just thrilled with the results!”

Director of Marketing, Al Bloom, adds: “We’ve been able to refine the list of Sexperts to identify the ones with a unique voice, who are serious about supporting the program and providing valuable feedback.” A monthly report keeps track of Sexpert reviews, reaction and web traffic.

“Most of the time we hit it out of the park… but even when we don’t, we get valuable information,” says Bloom. “The Sexperts and their followers give our product design team an unvarnished view of what they want and need from our products. And consumer trust is strengthened because they know Cal Exotics is really listening to them.”

On the sales side, White knows there’s power in the blogged word. “It’s not a coincidence that the products reviewed by our Sexperts are selling more rapidly than usual,” assures White. “Blog readers are also consumers. The Sexperts provide information and spark new ideas that drive sales. It really is amazing!”

Today’s consumers are turning to the internet for honest information and frank opinions about their intimate lives — and California Exotic Novelties is at the forefront of social networking for the adult toy industry. Qualified bloggers may apply to join the program at www.calexotics.com.

Sex Toy Review – Crystal Chic Wand by CalExotics

Posted by mitzirae on November 15, 2009

This is my first review for CalExotics and I’m playing with possible formats to use. So, if you have suggestions, feel free to let me know.

The evening this toy was delivered was the first time I’d handled a “wand”. Keep in mind that I have limited exposure and experience with sex toys – so you will get a slightly different perspective from me — but I plan for each of us to have fun with these reviews. And, I hope that I can share some pros, cons, tips and maybe some offbeat suggestions that will help you find toys that would be the best for you.

So – a Crystal Chic Wand — initially, I didn’t have a lot of ideas for this toy, but that changed. I prefer to use my imagination and not to be swayed by other people, so I only read the cleaning instructions, which I’ll share soon.

What is your first impression of this toy? I’ll share the specifics from the CalExotics site:

Waterproof is good – makes it easier to clean and you never know when you might want to spice up a bath or shower. The finish is very smooth and soft – so it feels great on your skin. Let’s skip bendable for a minute, but trust me – we’ll cum back to it. 3 speeds is nice – you need multiple speeds because you never know what mood you may be in and I like to be able to change the speed or vibration depending on how aroused I am. 6 hours on high speed – nice battery life and if you alter speeds, you can get up to 12 hours of use – but batteries are cheap and it only needs 1 AA. The dimensions are unique – I’m used to toys with a wider diameter – but it sort of resembles a long finger. Hmm, more about that soon too – but I will tell you that got my mind working.

So – let’s break it down —

PROS -

Smooth, adjustable and bendable, multi speeds, attractive (black is one of my favorite colors), waterproof, only needs 1 battery (so economical). The tip is small, but not too small – more about that in the suggested options below. This toy is very easy to clean thoroughly – simply pull the top and twist to look into place, clean thoroughly, twist again and it closes.

CONS -

I don’t really like the on/off switch and have had some problems with it.

SUGGESTED OPTIONS -

Here are some suggested uses I can recommend. I am sure there are many other great uses and I invite you to share your ideas with my blog readers. What have you tried that you enjoyed?

• This is ideal for anal play – insert a little or the full length, depending on what feels good for you.

• I’ve talked to and been very happy to discover a good number of straight men who are interested in a little anal stimulation. They are fascinated to learn they have a G-Spot and to learn that it can easily be stimulated. (Just ask, I’d be happy to share info about this So, a little anal probe can be stimulating for women and men.

• The wand has a series of balls which all move independently with the vibration and this makes it ideal for stimulating many parts of your body, breasts, anus, clitoris, vagina, etc -

• If you want to stimulate other areas, I see no reason it couldn’t be used to tickle behind your lover’s ear, their knee, along the spine – you could use it anywhere you would use a finger or two…. You will notice I like to play

• This vibrator is small enough that you might want to use it with 1 or 2 others, depending on what you are in the mood for and for various stimulation.

• This is great for female G-Spot stimulation.

Okay – as promised, one of the very cool things about how this wand bends. I was hesitant to bend it very far at first, but found out how far it can be bent. You can bend it to shape something that resembles a horseshoe or your finger if its bent. Are you asking why that is useful? Because it can be shaped to hit your G-spot very easily. Cum on ladies – how many men can find their woman’s G-spot without a road map? There are some, and the ones I know are firmly embedded in my memory – but some guys and some women need help locating their G-Spot.  This wand can help. If you aren’t familiar with how to locate and/or how to stimulate the G-Spot — read this article. Have you ever wanted a very intense and often prolonged orgasm? You have to try this and the crystal chic wand is just the tool to help you find the spot and stimulate it – it will also make it much easier for your lover to find and stimulate your G-Spot.  I’ll plan to post an article about the G-Spot and some suggestions on my blog later this week for people who are interested. Along these same lines, if you have the Crystal Chic Wand – that can be one step toward having a bigasm or trigasm, on your own or with your partner. I’ll include those details in the article too

Finally – this may be off beat for some people, but people who spend any time having phone sex or cyber sex will appreciate this suggestion. Imagine your loved one is out of town on business or lives far away. You want to be intimate with them, but time and space make that impossible sometimes. So, you go into a private chat room, you send racy texts to each other or you get on the phone and fantasize with each other. Often, this includes mutual masturbation – that would mean, you are each masturbating where ever you are. So, not to be crude, but that can get messy if you need to type in a chat or on your phone if you are texting. Now – what if you had a vibrator that had a tip that felt very much like his finger or your finger or maybe his tongue on your body? Are you starting to get some ideas on how you can get some stimulation with the crystal chic wand while you’re on the phone or in the chatroom? I’m not saying this is for everyone, but I think some readers will find it useful.

I would love to hear your ideas and suggestions. How have you used the Crystal Chic Wand or a similar product? I had a good number of male friends send me suggestions – but I’d love to hear some more ideas.

To find out more about this product, visit the CalExotics website and this is the page for this product – http://www.calexotics.com/index.php?MODE=VIEW&TYPE=PRODUCT&PRODUCTID=3492

I’m thinking my review rating system will be silk robes – and I’ll tell you how silk robes will be shed for each product. For the Crystal Chic Wand – Let’s shed 4 1/2 Silk robes.

My mini-miracle massager wand

My second toy to review from California Exotic Novelties is the My Mini-Miracle Massager Wand.

It’s a nifty waterproof wand that has a flexible tip that’s perfect for clitoral and vulval stimulation. It’s eight inches long from top to bottom and the tip is a mere two inches in length. And although the tip is flexible, I don’t recommend bending it too far as the resistance makes me think it would break.

It’s labeled as multi-speed but it seems to have only two speeds–low and high. The vibrations (courtesy of two AA batteries; not included) are pretty strong and might be heard through a blanket but not through a door. The polypropylene handle is small enough to get a good grip without feeling like you’re going to lose it. The PVC tip is nice and smooth and feels great on my skin. Angling the wand just right is not a problem.

The fact that the wand is small or “mini” makes it super easy to use in conjunction with insertable toys. I’ve used it alone and with other toys and the results are excellent either way. It’s perfectly suited for travel because of its size; just slip into a purse or a small bag/case and you’re good to go. It’s truly waterproof so you can use it in the shower or wherever there’s water. When cleaning I use my standard hot water and anti-bacterial soap. Since it’s waterproof you technically don’t have to remove the batteries, but I recommend that you do anyway as it’s a good habit to have.

I recommend the My Mini-Miracle Massager Wand from California Exoctic Novelties because of the convenience of its size and the strength of the vibrations. If you buy one I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
