Blog launch giveaway — win a LELO Gigi!

We’re ready to celebrate!

The She Bop Blog has been in existence for just a few short months. So far, we’ve published a couple posts answering the oft-asked questions “Can I become addicted to my vibrator?” and “What are phthalates?”, we’ve listed our top sexy picks for Valentine’s Day and holiday stocking stuffers, and we’ve shown you how to choose and wear a cock ring.

We’re looking forward to building our blog up even more as a resource on sex toys and sexuality. Now, to commemorate our blog’s first months — and its exciting future! — we’re giving away this beauty.

This is the LELO Gigi — a consistent bestseller in our shop, and all-around awesome luxury vibrator. Gigi is a moderately-sized, rechargeable vibrator with a uniquely-shaped tip that can be used clitorally or against the G-spot. Gigi has a variety of vibration speeds and patterns to suit every taste. It comes in turquoise, light pink, and deep rose, and the winner gets their choice of color!

    Woo! Blue Gigi! :)

    I think it would be interesting to see a post about lube. Comparing the qualities between water-based and silicone based (longevity, compatibility with toys/condoms, that kind of thing), though that would vary by brand. Maybe do a post with explanations of some ingredients…. what should be avoided (like, I know sugar/glycerin can cause yeast issues – but what are some of the not-so-common names companies use for potentially bad ingredients)? Maybe talk about preservatives that can also cause issues. Or how about flavored lubes? I’m never quite sure how they add sweet flavor (sucralose? aspartame?) without it potentially causing issues.

    Reply
  • t-biscuit February 25, 2011 at 3:26 pm

    Info about condoms – materials, spermicides, lubes – and why the local pharmacies are dominated by only two or three brands?
    Why is there a stigma about male masturbation aids, but no such stigma about female masturbation aids? Also, is it aid or aide? Aid is a form of help. Aide is an assistant. A vibrator is, arguably, both. Discuss.
    Do shark tattoos make people better lovers?

I’m not saying that they actively prohibit women who do not look like barely legal porn stars to attend, just that their advertising suggests that the rest of us are unwelcome.

    I would love to see more sex positive posts relating to sex in pregnancy! We talk about the safety and normalcy of sex in pregnancy with our clients, but many women do not receive this information during their prenatal care. I’d love to see sexy brought back into pregnancy for couples. Often women are reduced to a someTHING that is innocent (read: sexually null); it blocks out a woman’s sexuality that STILL exists during her pregnancy. Furthermore, pregnancy often increases the libido in many women (usually after the first trimester when she is feeling better and has more energy).

      Re: Lube: My general experience is that that obnoxious Gross Lube Stickiness is thanks to glycerin. Look for glycerin-free lubes (Sliquids, along with a handful of others, have been kind to me). If you’re shopping somewhere and they’ve got a tester in the store, put a drop between your thumb and forefinger and rub for a while — this makes it pretty clear pretty quickly what’ll happen when the water starts to evaporate (or get absorbed?).

      Getting people off of Astroglide and its ilk has been something of a hobby for a few years now.

    I’m in agreement with the crowd about the lube posting- it would be great to know more about lubes best for specific issues- women with atrophic vaginitis, chemical sensitivities, issues with flora balance like chronic yeast infections and BV ( yes I am in the health care field, why do you ask?)

    I’d also love to see a post about toy materials and phthalates, Bisphenol- A, and other chemical cautions.

    Sex/kinky sex/BDSM during pregnancy

    Book reviews are great, as are film reviews- i.e.-top 5 bondage books, or books/films made by NW locals, what’s new in queer video porn, etc.

    I agree that a post on lube would be really helpful- my bf works at Fantasy video and he brings home stuff that is supposedly “healthy” and then I find out late that is B A D for my kitty! She Bop is the only source in PDX I can trust!

    I’d love it if She Bop would do a workshop on playing consensually with power dynamics to make sex even hotter. Not BDSM techniques per se, how about physical, energic and psychological power dynamic/options. I’m particularly interested in this topic as it relates to sex between women. Sexy!

    my first thought was “THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF LUBES”, and after perusing the comments it seems that I’m not alone in wanting the lowdown on all the different types of slippery substances out there (I love your selection, by the way).

    I think a brief history of the sex toy would be another interesting topic.

    Or a survey of aphrodisiacs and whether or not any of them are actually effective.

    I’d be interested to know more about the brain states during orgasm and the effects on wellbeing.

    A general piece on the pervasive myths out there would be helpful. ie semen contains trace amounts of spinal fluid, the G spot doesn’t exist, etc…

    Regarding lubes: I’m allergic to aloe vera. Thank the Goddess that you have a lube in stock that doesn’t contain aloe! And, thanks so much to your sales goddess who read through all the ingredients to find it for me. More info on lubes for sure.

    Another topic: the proper fitting of a strap to enhance the strap wearer’s orgasm. BTW, I love the strap that I bought from you! So much more comfortable than my gf’s leather one.

    And: quality dyke porn and where to find it.

    And: exploring dirty talk during sex. My girl would love that but I just don’t have the vocabulary for it!

    Love your shop. Love it!

    I would love to see more showcases of mindful and sensual strap-on (female-male) play both in porn and discussion minus the cheesiness and the BDSM aspects. Not that BDSM can’t be awesome, but almost all porn or discussion of the pegging nature tends to be narrowly focused on that realm or uber-cheesy a lá “Bendover Boyfriend”.

    I would like to see advice on how to talk to a partner about using toys together (for example, how to communicate with a partner who worries they’ll be “replaced” by a toy or feels inadequate if toys are desired by the other partner). I would also like to see information about safe storage of toys. Can storing certain toys together damage them? Can toys be damaged by certain storage materials? If your storage place is made of a porous material, do you need to clean your toy before use even if you cleaned it before you put it away?

    Also, as many people have suggested, a guide to lubes. Flavored lubes that are safe for sensitive skin and also taste good? Ingredients to watch out for? Why is the smell so hard to wash off after using Hathor Lube Lickeurs? (and is there a good alternative?)

    Something I’d love to hear some expert advice on: gettin’ it on in the bath/shower. There’s lots of ways to approach the subject, from lubes that work best in watery situations, to good waterproof and water resistant toys, to concerns regarding how bubble bath/jacuzzi chemicals react with body fluids, etc.
