THE INTRO

I passively followed the Unbound Babes account for about a year. Learning about sexual expression, sending memes to friends, cracking up at the jokes, lusting after a new toy but I never quite made it to the “checkout” page. Now, this has nothing to do with feeling shy, or embarrassed, or ashamed. I have plenty of toys. You name it, I’ve got it. (well not butt stuff. I ain’t there yet and I don’t know if I ever will be). But battery-operated, water-proof, bluetooth enabled, remote controlled (what is date night without a little public play? 😜) So anyway, it really came down to me being stuck in my comfort zone. I found what I liked, and really didn’t feel the urge to try something new. But 50+ days alone in quarantine will make you curious. Besides, old-faithful had been begging for a break.

well shit, let’s get into it

Size: It’s slender so it’s great for an entry-level toy. Let’s get one thing out the way: If you’re looking to replicate the feeling of an actual penis inside you, this isn’t the toy for you, hun. Dick ain’t always the answer tho so don’t count the Bender out.

Shape: If you’re looking for something that can stimulate your g-spot, this is the one. If you’re looking to find your g-spot, this is the one. If you’ve found your g-spot but need your slow-ass partner to find it, THIS IS THE ONE! As the name implies, the curve on this thing can pretty much hit whatever you’d like it to. The only unfortunate thing is, because it’s flexible the curve tends to move when you, uh, get into the rhythm of things. I found that it inadvertently got me to slow down.

Vibration: I’m not even gon’ hold you, up until recently, I wasn’t bothered with any of the speed/intensity settings on vibrators. I was a low, medium, high kind of girl. I don’t need a vibrator to beat box on my pussy. But I’ve learned how to use the settings to my advantage, enjoy the ride and even tease things out. In that regard, the Bender doesn’t disappoint. The vibration settings were, well, a vibe.

Price: Appropriately priced at $69. I mean, it’s a little pricey but the brand, packaging and design is so beautiful. It’s a lil bougie toy. I’m gone put it on display.

Comparing it to old-faithful: We ain’t gotta pit two bad bitches against each other. I don’t think I’m going to find a vibrator that’s better than the vedo izzy for clit sensation but the beautiful thing is you can use both. and I did. and GODDAMN.

FINAL THOUGHTS

It’s cute, sleek and does the job. It’s a solid toy but for the price, I think you’ll get the best value as a beginner. If you’re faking it with your man (I would say partner but we know which gender lacks in this area), try this toy. It will open your eyes and give you a chance to experiment. What else you got to do?

As for me, don’t worry, I plan to get my money’s worth. I will continue to experiment in my solo sessions and —when we finally get out of the house — with a partner. I’ll update y’all if I find any hacks.

Happy National Masturbation Awareness Month! Cum again soon.
