CARNAL NATION

Like most reviewers, I’m partial to pricey, cutting-edge sex toys. Form combined with function usually doesn’t come cheaply, and happily, I’ve had the privilege of enjoying many high-end toys that look beautiful and make me come really hard. However, this doesn’t mean that I don’t keep an open mind (and open legs—cheap joke, had to do it) when I receive a toy that is bargain priced.  Especially in this economy, give me a well priced toy that gets me off, and I’m going to be a big fan.

At $20.00, the Blueberry Bliss Waterproof Turbo Glider is certainly inexpensive.

Here’s what I like about it.  It’s see through, and the geek that hides deep within me—the one who loves those watches with the glass backs where you can see all the workings working—loves to turn it on and off and see the motor spin and stop, spin and stop. It’s waterproof. I usually don’t masturbate in the shower because I prefer to be horizontal in the comfort of my cozy sofa or warm bed, but when one receives a waterproof toy, one must be prepared to test it under drippy conditions.  It’s doesn’t have a straight shaft, but has a nice tapered head that flares out into a larger bulb and then again into a smaller one.  I greatly prefer this configuration to the simple, straight shaft.  The added sensations when gliding this toy along my outer folds are just lovely, and I always, always prefer to have something to tighten and squeeze my inner muscles against. Having ridges is extra helpful for that. So thumbs up there.  

My only real problem with this toy is the noise level.  It’s an aggressive little buzzer.  Hard plastic really doesn’t muffle sound as well as some of the newer, pricier materials. So if noise is an issue for you, this toy may annoy you.  I found the noise pretty distracting.  It vibrates hard, which is awesome, but when turned to maximum, the sound drove me nuts.  Now, in the shower, with the exhaust fan going and the water running, it’s less obvious and thus, less irksome, but in my bedroom,  no, I couldn’t get past the buzzing.  I did make myself come with this toy once—it’s certainly capable of delivering a great orgasm, but on other trials, I just found it too distracting to my apparently over-sensitive eardrums. 

Before wrapping up, I want to add a note about waterproof toys.  As far as I can tell, what makes a toy waterproof is a tiny rubber gasket that seals off the battery compartment.  I don’t have 100% faith in those seals since you can screw your cap on all cockeyed or seals can get old and cracked. So what I do with waterproof toys, after I use them in the water, is take out the batteries and leave the cap off for a while to dry out any residual moisture that wormed its way in there.  Doing this will help your waterproof toys live a longer, happier life.

So, in summary, great price point, strong vibrations, nicely shaped, but loud.  I’d recommend it if you want to try out a waterproof toy since in the shower that issue becomes much less of a concern and at $20.00, really, you can’t go wrong.

 

Upon first glance, the Blueberry Turbo Glider has a curious shape. It has a long, smooth tube-like shape that bumps out as you get closer to the top. In total, there are 3 bump-outs with a little round nub at the top. It is hard plastic—the kind you could tap your finger nails on—and it is a pretty light blue color that is completely see-through. When it is turned on you can even watch the little metal ring spin inside! It has a fairly average length of about 6 1/2 inches and is somewhat slim in width. The Turbo Glider has a basic turn dial for vibration control at the base and has a little rubber washer inside the battery compartment to maintain its waterproof design.

I have to admit, I've used this little toy a lot this month. The vibration is intensely strong and stimulating. It feels amazing just about anywhere you put it! It's perfect if you want a quickie, and it is well designed for long drawn-out teasing with your honey or when you're all alone in the bathtub. Please be warned though: this toy is LOUD. When cranked up all the way, you can easily here it from the next room, so if your trying to be discreet, use it under water in the bath as the water muffles the buzzing quite a bit.

The Blueberry Turbo Glider is an excellent buy at just $20.00. It reminds me of my very first vibrator and is a welcome addition to my collection. Just make sure the kids are out, and your neighbors aren't around to hear it!

The Turbo Glider (Blueberry) multi-speed vibrator is a perfect vibe for both beginners and more experienced users. Unlike most other vibes, it is quite inexpensive. It's very easy to clean and is 100% water proof for fun in the bath, shower or hot tub. This sexy vibe is made out of translucent blue hard plastic and has delicious curves in all the right places along the shaft. The tip is wonderful for direct clitoral stimulation, and when used for penetration, its firmness is great for applying pressure to the "G" spot. The Turbo Glider vibe has a great vibe sensation that goes from mild to intense and is easy to control with its end cap dial. The vibe is 6 3/8" long and 1 1/8" wide and requires two AA batteries.

The first time I went shopping for a vibrator, I got sticker shock because all of the vibes that offered the more intense sensation that I like were in the higher price range. The ones that were less expensive just didn't do it for me, so I ended up spending much more than I had originally intended. Had this vibe been around years ago, I would have bought it in a heart beat as my first vibrator because the good strong motor inside gives an intense vibe sensation and the size and shape are just right.

I started out by testing out the different speed intensities of the Turbo Glider directly on my clit. I liked being able to change the speed easily as I played. The highest setting was too intense for my personal taste; however, taking it just a step down from there gave me the most delightful orgasms in short order. I like toys that I can rely upon when Im in the mood for a quickie!

I had some good clean fun in the bathtub using my Turbo Glider, too! It was awesome to lay back in the bathtub and use the vibe on my "G" spot while I used my hand-held shower to blast water directly on my clit. The sound level is slightly higher that my other vibes, but using this vibe in the bath while the water was running muffled the sound enough for me to feel that my personal fun was still discreet. However, I do not think that I would feel the same if I were in a silent house with roommates in the next room. Anyway, while I was using it in the bathtub, it felt great on my "G" spot because I could use more intense pressure there as I stimulated that area. The vibe seemed to really send the sensations not only on my "G" spot but also to the surrounding area and at the entrance to my vagina (Yummy!).

I love the hard translucent plastic. The shape of the curves felt great, too. I could feel every ridge each time I moved it in and out.

Because this vibe is made out of hard plastic, it is safe to use either silicone or water based lube. The hard plastic also makes it very easy to clean by running it under hot tap water with a dab of hand soap. I like the fact that the hard plastic is more hygienic and is less likely to harbor bacteria unlike toys that are made of materials that are softer and more vulnerable to that kind of contamination.   

Another nice aspect of the shape of this vibe (for more adventurous kinky play) is that it has a very good curved ridge towards the base of the shaft and head. I could see myself using this to my advantage by adding it to my rope bondage play with a partner. Those ridges are perfect for securely attaching the vibe during forced orgasm scenes! The end dial is also a plus in this regard.

This is a very well-made vibe that does what it is intended to do and for a price you just can't beat! The vibe would also make an excellent gift. I, for one, am looking forward to using the Turbo Glider in my next rope bondage play; I know it will add some serious fun to my play!
