The Essential Couple Toy

Foreplay is an essential part of a couple’s sex life; without it, you run the risk of not really being fully “there” during sex or coming up short–literally. Without the art form of foreplay, sex has a tendency to do a whole lot of nothing; for us women, anyway.

And so I present to you lovely ladies out there looking for just a little something to spice up the act before intercourse or something just a whole lot of fun to play around with–The Remote Butterfly from Babeland.

The butterfly is worn by a woman the same way panties are, just slip your legs through the elastic straps and pull the butterfly up to you so it rests just the way you like it. The remote control ranges from 15 to 20 feet so even if you and your partner aren’t in the same room, you can still enjoy tingling sensations the butterfly sends to your clitoris and know that your partner is thinking of you when they press that magical button on the remote.

With a range of 15 to 20 feet, the Remote Butterfly sets up a whole new range of options for play time and not only that, but play time can now be done virtually anywhere; and that is the first thing I thought of when I had first stumbled across this product. Imagine the possibilities! Perhaps you and your partner need a date night–After even a few months of living together, couples sometimes fall into the pattern of wearing sweatpants all the time or just not really paying a lot of attention to themselves anymore because hey, it’s your house too and you’re going to be comfortable! I am the same, exact way; hell, it’s a special occasion if I get out of the shower and don’t put pajamas right back on. So for you couples out there like my boyfriend and I who really need a date night every once in a while, why not strap the butterfly on under your dress or your pants? It can be worn under your panties or you can really spice your night up and skip the underwear completely. When in use, the butterfly sounds exactly like a cell phone on vibrate, so using it in a movie theater is a fabulous idea, perhaps to dinner if the restaurant is a little loud, or even a bar. The possibilities are virtually endless; running errands will never be the same again, just imagine asking your partner to go grocery shopping with you and if they refuse, hand them the remote and I bet their tune changes.

The first time the boyfriend and I had the pleasure of using it, we decided that because I am always working–and I mean always, it was about time that I was given a little reward for all of my hard work and not just that, but work needed to be fun again. I’m a freelancer and work from home on the computer, so sitting at a computer all day can be one of the most mundane tasks there are and the afternoon we used the butterfly throughout the day was surprisingly the one day in the past few weeks where I actually got a ton of work done. See, a little motivation goes a long way!

The vibrations the butterfly releases on your clit are described by Babeland to be medium-strength and while it is a pleasant feeling, the vibrations weren’t enough for me to be brought to orgasm; however, it did work phenomenally to bring me to full arousal, which can sometimes take a little while for most women anyway.

The only thing that I don’t like about this product is that the batteries go way, way too fast, so if you have rechargeable AAA batteries, stock up. The elastic waist works great, but the butterfly may need to be adjusted every now and then because it really does its best work while tucked “inside” so it has a direct connection with your clit.

Overall, this product is great and definitely something I would recommend to anyone wanting to either spice up their love life or want something that can be worn discreetly and allows you to have some fun alone time and engage in some kick ass partnered, foreplay. Although, on the con side of this vibrator, the vibrations are just enough to bring you to the level of being incredibly turned on, but it didn’t pack enough punch to get me “over the edge.”
