AfterCare Afterglow Wipes

I stumbled across this brand when they first started selling Afterglow on the DevineToys website.  As I understand Sexual Health Enthusiasts AfterCare is a branch off of DevineToys.  This line supports sexual health and care.  The line consists of 4 products: Afterglow, AfterIt, AfterShave, and AfterTrace.  I really want the whole set of AfterCare products, but price is a BIG factor in why I haven't gotten anything but the Afterglow wipes.  From the AfterCare website the total full sized product package is $60 and by the time you finish the ordering process it's close to $75.  I've done the whole process to see the total price and I've back down every time I've had the cash.  They sell each product individually and the prices are as follows: Afterglow $9, AfterIt $22, AfterShave $20 and AfterTrace $16.  They also have a travel set for $29.

I've only tired the Afterglow and I really liked it.  On the AfterCare website it's only sold in a pack of 20 wipes, but EdenFantasys sells them in individually wrapped packages (24 single wipes for $20) as well as the 20 pack.  I find that I like both packages for different reasons, but I feel like I'm getting gipped when I only get 20 wipes for $9 when baby wipes are 75 for $3.  If you shop around you'll find different prices.  For instance, $7 for 20 wipes at Kamasutracloset (one of my favorite sites).  They also sell the individual wipes for $0.95 each instead of a in a set of 24.   


Now, the wipes themselves are really awesome.  When you take one out of the packaging you are confronted with a very pleasant smell of Beragomt.  They used bergamot because it's a natural antiseptic and I find that it has a very low irritation level.  Since the wipes are meant to used on your most sensitive areas it's nice to know you won't be assaulted with something that will give you a rash or irritate your skin.  These wipes are designed to be used before and/or after sex.  They, for the lack of better words, disinfect the skin and make you feel clean without having to hop in the shower.  It's wonderful to use before sex, but it's real power is when it's used after sex.  It helps removes lubes and body fluids from the skin.  You can almost be a pile of goo and use one of these to get rid of the sticky feel as you bask in the afterglow.  The wipes are also gentle enough that you can use them on your toys.  The fabric of the wipe is very sturdy and remains moist for a very long time when outside the packaging.  As for the two packaging formats there is advantages to each.

The individually wrapped wipes are perfect for on the go uses and are consistently moist every time you open a packet.  They're wrappers are smaller than a birthday card but considerably larger than a condom wrapper so they will fit in a purse with ease, but not a clutch (depending on the size) or a pocket.  The large pack of wipes is about the size of makeup removing wipes and opens in basically the same way.  It can easily fit in a purse, but I've never tried.  I do have one con to this.  Do to gravity, the liquid in the wipes migrate to the bottom making the top wipes less moist than the bottom ones.  I've found that if you flip the packaging every other day it keeps all the wipes equally moist.  It just sucks when I would forget and would have a slightly dry wipe, but if I kept up the flipping I wouldn't have an issue.

I really do love these wipes, but I wish I got more per pack.  Other than that I have no negatives.  I would also love to review the other products from AfterCare, but I can't until I manage to swing $75 for it.  Until then, I hope you enjoy the Afterglow.

JimmyJane Massage Stones

As you read you can see I was super happy and having a good day.  That rapidly changed while I was writing this, but at least I managed to post it even if it was a few day later than when I started.  Please forgive any misspelling and grammar errors. 

Enjoy!

Bonjour everone!

I don't speak French by any means, but this morning is a good morning!  It's a crisp 40 degrees in the Sunshine State and I'm ready to drink large amounts of hot tea and write a few reviews.  I thought that since no one wants to see anything in particular that I would review JimmyJane's Contour M, I and Q.  These are premium massage stones that I think everyone should own.

I'm going to start with the Contour M since I find this to be the most versatile.  As the name implies, the massage stone is in the shape of an "m".  I see the "m" shape, but I think it looks more like a jellyfish than a letter.  However, that's just me.  Moving on!  I find this to be the most ergonomic massage stone I have ever had the pleasure of using and it can be used to massage in 1 of 3 ways.  The first is the most natural feeling because you place the curve of the stone in the palm on your hand and use the feet to massage.  Using it this way makes it easy for even pressure and keeps you from being too harsh.  You can use the stone this way all over the body and it feels heavenly.  The second way you can use this is by flipping it over so that the feet are in the palm of your hand.  This is wonderful because this way you can add more pressure and try to work out tight muscles.  I find that it feels the best on the lower back because if curves so easily.  The last way you can use this is by tilting the stone so that you're using only 1 of the feet.  By using only 1 foot you can target problem areas and really work them out.  Use caution because you can put a lot of force behind the stone and hurt or bruise the person who is getting the massage.  Be deliberate, firm, but in control.  Also be aware that this is the heaviest of the massage stones.

The next best massage stone is the Contour I.  This massage stone is shaped like a dumbbell and is lighter than the Contour M.  This stone have a lot of uses and it all comes down to what you want to use it for.  I like using it for targeting muscles.  You can also lay it flat and roll it on the body, but I find that it doesn't really feel like anything.  You can't put a lot of pressure when you roll it, so using one of the ends is better.  It's very easy to hold and it takes very little pressure to get the effect you want.

There is also the Contour Q.  This is currently not sold on the JimmyJane website, but I think they plan to sell them in the next few months.  In the mean time, you can find them on other websites.  The one thing that is kind of cool is that you get 2 massage stones when you buy the Contour I.  One has ripples and the other has bumps.  These are wicked awesome on the feet.  I love to place them on the floor and push my feet back and forth on them to make them roll.  It feels so good at the end of the day.  If you do this make sure the stones are on carpet or on a towel.  Rolling them on a hard surface might damage the stones or your floor.  Neither sound good.

Each Contour is sold separately and are all $25 (the Contour I might be sold at $15 for a short time) at JimmyJane with the exception the Contour Q.  All the massage stones are made out of porcelain and are non porous.  This makes it perfect for when you clean them.  While I suggest that you do clean them, I don't suggest that you let them sit in any water for a long length of time.  I find that cleaning wipes are easy to clean them with, but a light rinse with soap and water is also fine.  There is also ways to use 2 massage stones at once.  The Contour M forms a cup and Contour I and Q fit in the void of the M.  The stones will make noise while they rub together, but the more massage oil you use the less noise they make.  On the subject of oils, I find that the JimmyJane products work the best with the stones.  The oil from the candles are perfect and also the Euphoric lotion (which I will review) are what I prefer because normal oils seems to be too runny and make a large mess.  You can also use the Contour M as a bowl for you massage oil so that you can dip your fingers in it and then rub with your hands.  I like doing that for the temples before flipping it over and using the left over oil for the massage.  For storage I would suggest a padded pouch or case.  I have mine (plus Euphoric Lotion) in a zippered case.  It works really well, but you want to make sure that you don't drop them or jostle them about too roughly.  Broken massage tools are useless so protect yous!

While these are pricey, they last forever and the look beautiful.  You can pack them away when they're not in use or you can put them in a basket and leave them on your bathroom counter or bedside table.  Like all JimmyJane products, you're getting superior quality and beauty that last.

-I did purchase one set of the massage stones, I did win another set of them in a giveaway.-

SALES!!!!


Let's start out the New Year right!  If you're in the market for new sex toys you really need to head over to EdenFantasys.  They're having a major New Year clearance event.  This takes you directly to the sales navigation page.  They also are having a 20% off site wide when you use the code PLEASURE.  As usual they have free 3-5 day shipping of orders over $25 and UPS 2 day shipping on orders over $80.  Also, remember to pick out your free gift.  I suggest the VROOM shirt.  If you do get the shirt, select a size larger than what you normally wear.

There are some awesome deals, so start looking!

Ready, set, GO!
