Now let’s take our adjective, wave our magic wand, and turn it into a noun with an entirely new spelling: SaSi. Still vigorous and lively, definitively smart and stylish, and above all possessing more than a soupçon of sass, it seems that we’ve been discussing the SaSi a lot around these parts. Perhaps I should also tell you that we’ve beautiful, glossy signage of the SaSi in our retail boutiques; or that we spend large portions of our staff meetings discussing the SaSi’s merits; or that we’re planning an upcoming event on sensation play with the SaSi. Would you believe that there is already a waiting list for the SaSi; or that Wired and MSNBC have reported on its cutting-edge technology; or that my coworker, a discerning sex-toy aficionado, is already planning to purchase one for his partner? These are dyed in the wool truisms as well. Despite all the hype (both internet-ally and real-worldly), I can also offer a list of why the SaSi is going to be the best sex toy since sliced bread:

1. The SaSi is the first toy to utilize Sensual Intelligence (e.g. it learns and remembers what you like). To quote JeJoue, the makers of SaSi:

A smooth, rounded head undulates under a thin, silky cover, creating a soft kneading sensation that can be customized by adjusting movement type, speed and vibration.
SaSi has two modes. In Natural Mode SaSi does what it is told. It comes pre-programmed with 5 movements, which are easily selected by navigating left or right.
In Learn Mode SaSi gradually morphs from one movement to another, trying new sensations. If you dislike a particular movement simply skip to the next one. SaSi will remember this and is less likely to use it again. If SaSi creates a sensation you really like, press the “don’t stop” button. SaSi will remember and use it again next time.
Just like a good partner, SaSi gives a different experience every time whilst still incorporating the movements you like best.

2. The SaSi is body-friendly. Make of sleek, elegantly colored hard plastic, it is coated with an ultra-thin, medical-grade, latex- and phthalate-free silicone membrane. Cleaning is a breeze, as the membrane is removable; and word on the street has it that different colored and textured membranes will be available to further customize your onanistic experience.

3. The SaSi is elegant, ergonomic, and discreet. Available in lush plum, tender violet, or classic black, the SaSi resembles high-end cyberpunk accoutrement moreso than it does, say, a classic vibrator like the Slimline or Hitachi Magic Wand. You needn’t hide SaSi in your underwear drawer, but instead can safely place it by your MacBook Pro for all to admire (I, for one, first thought it was a next generation wireless mouse).

4. The SaSi is wonderfully, greenly eco-friendly. Do you worry about the number of batteries hitting landfills? Worry no more, for SaSi comes equipped with its own recharging base; and because it is rechargeable, you’ll be patting your wallet knowing that you’ve side stepped purchasing about 100 batteries per year.

5. The SaSi is unique. To put it simply, there is nothing (and I mean nothing) on the market like it. If you are like me, and crave beautifully designed, tech-savvy, and utterly functional erotic toys, the SaSi is calling to you with its sweet, sweet siren’s song. But don’t just take my word for it: view our YouTube demonstration of the SaSi, or take in a thoughtful, titillating guest review… then join the masses in placing your own name on the waiting list for this delightful, sassy new treat.

When you walk into Babeland, there are three shelves filled with dildos. How do you find the right one for you? Understandably, this can feel a little overwhelming but if you follow these guidelines, it should make things much easier.

Go smaller than you think: It’s a hard and fast rule among dildo sellers that our eyes are often bigger than our orifices. So, when you think you’ve found the perfect size for you, think about going one size down. If you’re looking for a dildo that is approximately the same size as your partner, try picking one out that is about 75% the size of your partner. Dildos feel bigger inside the body than penises do so if you go a bit smaller, it will feel just about right.

Think about texture: Dildos range in texture from incredibly smooth to very ridgy to bumpy to veiny. What you get depends on what feels good inside your body and what you want to use it for. Some of the larger bumped dildos can work well for G-spotting whereas I wouldn’t recommend anything but the smoothest dildos for anal play unless you know you like the texture.
Material: Silicone. Just get silicone. There are other dildos made out of sub-standard materials like jelly rubber and cyberskin but silicone is incredibly safe and long lasting, easy to clean (sterilize!) and easy to use. You might pay a bit more but you’re getting so much more for your money. Plus, silicone can vibrate.

Vibration: Many silicone dildos now come with the option of vibration. There’s a little removable vibrator tucked into a space at the bottom of the toy. This is great because in almost any toy, the thing that will break is the battery compartment. If that happens here, you just get a new vibrator and you keep the dildo. It also means that you can take the vibrator out to clean the dildo or use the vibrator somewhere else on your body!

Once you’ve taken these things into consideration, it’s just a matter of finding the right dildo for you. Check out our How-To on picking out dildos if you’d like some suggestions.
