Iroha women's self care toy.

I'm going to be brave here and talk about something that is still slightly taboo, masturbation. God I hate that word! I am not in the least bit embarrassed about it, nor do I feel uncomfortable talking about sex in general. I think talking about sex and sexuality is healthy.  However I realise many women are still uncomfortable talking about it, despite likely enjoying it and having (maybe) a few toys. Or maybe there are some of you that loathes those fake willy type toys, I know I do.
So here is something a bit different!
 
Iroha designs.
Made by the Japanese company Tenga.
Three in total:

 Yuki
 Midori
 Sakura 
Beautiful designs that look like Japanese candy.
 

Iroha is a Japanese company that make self pleasure/self care toys for women designed by women.
All their designs are very different to what is on the market right now.

I chose to review this toy for you because I don't like all those fake willies and scary looking probing toys that look painful and porn like.They turn me about as off as you can get. If you are a woman that loves that kind of thing, each gal to their own.... we are all different and unique creatures afterall...but I know from talking with friends that when we don't like those big probing numbers,  that we tend not to use anything, so this range is for them in mind. I do feel everyone, no matter what their usual toy, would no doubt love this.

So what are they like?

 The simple controls are underneath the toy with a magnetic stand/charger..keeps the toy in place whilst charging..pretty sleek huh?

 Here is ther stand with acrylic top on...keeps the toy safe whilst not in use/charging.
 The toy feels so soft, which is due to the supple matt silicone, which warms to your skin quickly.
There is a product inside the silicone skin that create a squidgy, soft feel, bliss!
  The silicone is soft and feels just like skin. 
The toy fits comfortably in your hand.
 
Located underneath the toy are + and - buttons. You simply hold down the + to switch the toy on and the - to turn it off. There are 3 settings, one being a pulse setting. All settings are quiet but powerful.
The toy is quiet too.
Charging the toy is so easy, either via USB or the mains, includes a storage case that doubles as a magnetic charging dock.

Despite being little and soft the Yuki (which is what I have)  is a powerful lil thing and gives you very rewarding self care as and when you want it, very quickly!! :) See what I did there?
You can wash the toy with soap and hot water and better to use a water based product with it.

I am so impressed, not just with the toy, that is beautiful and wonderful to use, but in the design, the thought that has gone into this, the technology, everything. Colour me impressed.

With a £63 price tag, you would expect it to be good and it is.
The only downside of the toy is the initial chemical smell which comes from the Polyurethane Elastomer inside the silicone skin...it makes the toy feel soft...the smell does go away though!
The other downside to some will be the price, no it isn't cheap but to be honest you really get what you pay for!
Pros are that it is safe, easy to use, beautiful, fun, different, designed by women for women!

Good for you lass! As a former (short term) Ann Summers rep, I couldn't agree with you more. I sold more of the couples toy (not phallicly shaped at all) than any other vibrator, and kept extolling the virtues of the We-vibe to all the women I met, and guess what, Ann Summers finally caught on. However, it was Lovehoney who were the first to stock the We-vibe, also a good Couples one to consider and marketed at the same price as this is now, if not a bit more. I can assure you, it's the best £50+ gadget you can invest in your marriage/relationship, bar a dishwasher of course ;-) We were late starters with the latter!!!!
