Come for a Cause Kit

From the moment I laid eyes on the Come for a Cause Kit, it was love, or at the very least lust, at first sight. An adorable vibrator, a three-pack of latex protection, and AAA batteries all in one shiny little bag made my heart flutter—but not based on the content alone. The Come for a Cause Kit benefits not one, but two organizations. The condoms benefit Planned Parenthood, while the Papillon vibe proceeds go to Living Beyond Breast Cancer. Charity has never felt so good.

On the safer sex front, never before have I seen such a successful attempt at a stylish repackaging of condoms as in the case of Proper Attire Color. Not only was I unembarrassed to tote these rubbers around, I was almost hoping someone would accidentally discover them in my purse. The modern and bright package design is female-friendly without the “pinkification” so common in today's marketing. Gorgeous is not something most people would describe a condom wrapper as, but Proper Attire is quickly broaching on this territory.

The Papillon vibrator packs a surprisingly strong punch for a toy of its size. Lightweight and discreet, the purple vibe is great for first-timers and experienced users alike. The two-speed vibrator and is waterproof and proved itself durable after many trial runs. While the Papillon is perfect as part of the Come for a Cause kit, purchasing it with intentions of it being one's main source of battery-powered pleasure may not be the wisest decision, though it deserves a position in one's artillery of toys.

Mamba Condoms

Well, I did make a concerted effort, and asked for a deadline extension, and enlisted the assistance of my women’s book group, but it appears that product testing in this case is indefinitely delayed. I’m in good company: one of the most attractive members of the reading circle, a doe-eyed, winsome, gamin brunette, has informed me that she’s also given up. Another responded, “Oh, yeah—I read the e-mail. But I have a dozen in my drawer, gathering dust.” This is sad. Prospective co-testers were eliminated or declined under the following circumstances:

skittish endomorph guaranteed to disappoint me
visitor from a demographic far, far away
aesthetic atrocity
married
asexual
older than my Dad

I even trolled the vast wasteland of the digital world, stating the task at hand (or other parts), and set the bar relatively high by insisting that respondents name a feminist in the subject line of their reply. I decided to accept Edith Piaf. The best writer in terms of volume, literacy and humor displayed discouraging signs, so I asked him if he was married. He said yes, and I declined. He immediately began to prevaricate, saying that he had never expressly stated that he was married, just suggested that I might “enjoy the illicit thrill…”

“What are you?” I typed. “A lawyer?”

Right again. Nature’s way of saying "don’t touch."

There was one individual with whom I would have product-tested on the spot, but he was met in a context that precluded the possibility of follow-through, tragically enough. Even my mother was impressed, and she’s a tough audience. “Wow,” she said when he left the room. “Could you come back and stand there and be handsome and articulate some more?” All males should be of such caliber. Why schtupp a homely dolt? I may be unrealistic, but I decline to product-test until I meet an available male of such grade: physically attractive, personal chemistry, quick and verbal, and knowledgeable in a field that I respect.

Wish me luck.

(Just got another e-mail. Is Liz Phair a feminist…?)

Mini Classic Personal Pleasure Tin

Absolutely adorable! Roughly about the size of an Altoid box, this tin has it all. Each container comes with three different types of lubricant, mints, condoms and a trash baggy for easy clean up (the original version comes with chocolate sauce). Each tin can be customized with the type of essentials that you prefer such as the condom brand, type of lubricant and even a few added toys designed for people on the go such as a flashlight mini vibrator that can go on your key chain. Each tin comes with a collectable position card, a series of sixty nine; these cards explain positions and their variations. The Personal Pleasure tin can be taken anywhere, it fits conveniently in a purse or backpack and is discreet enough to not be an embarrassment in case luggage is searched while traveling. The only suggestion that I would have would be to add personal wipes to help with clean up. Still, the Personal Pleasure Tin is a must for “people with a discriminating, yet voracious sexual appetite,” as the website says.
