Fun and Femme Plus Size Sexy Lingerie

When we think about lingerie, the image that comes to mind is of sexy, skimpy and fragile garments women wear in the privacy of their bedrooms. This perception of what lingerie is started at the end of the twentieth century. Before that the word �lingerie� simply meant the French word for �undergarments.� In those days, undergarments for ladies were bulky and worn for modesty, hygiene or to alter their body shape. Nowadays the main function of lingerie is to seduce (and at times, to be torn off!), but if you are a plus size, sexy lingerie can be hard to choose. What type of lingerie do you need to bring out the best in you?
Among the most popular choices of plus size sexy lingerie is the babydoll, a short nightgown often trimmed with ruffles, lace, fur, bows, ribbons or spaghetti straps. The fabric it is made of can be almost anything but sheer fabrics are, of course, preferred. Nylon, chiffon and silk are the default choices. The neck is low enough to show a little cleavage and the hemline falls above the knees, making it all the more provocative. You can find them sold as a set with matching panties, or you can buy the panties separately should you want them.
Teddies are also an extremely popular choice. A combination of camisole and panty, teddies are loose and easy to slip off as well as made of extremely light fabric. The shoulder straps are usually there for decoration rather than functional reasons. Some teddies are designed as clothing that can be practical while the other type is purely for the visual pleasure gained from it.
Last but not least is the corset, a garment traditionally worn to mold the torso into the desired shape and occasionally used for medical purposes. The function of a corset is to reduce the waist and exaggerate the bust and hips. When it comes to plus size sexy lingerie, the corset is very popular for the obvious reasons. Not everyone is comfortable wearing one however, so we strongly suggest that you experiment and choose something you feel good in. Because if you don�t feel good, it�s hard to feel sexy, and that�s what it is all about. It is possible to wear a combination of different types of lingerie, like a corset with a bedjacket or a bodice with bloomers underneath. Try out different things and have fun while doing it.

How Can I Achieve Orgasm Quicker?

Filed under Ask a Diva
I am a 30ish year old female and it takes a REALLY long time for me to reach orgasm, if I even have one. It usually will take over an hour for me to reach orgasm and my husband will have finished long before that. I have no hard feelings towards him finishing before me, I cannot expect him to go on forever. Is there anything I can do, positions, etc. that will help me orgasm more quickly?

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CLITORAL & VAGINAL ORGASMS:
First you must understand your body and how it works to reach an Orgasm, so you will know what type of toy you are seeking. This information will help you understand the type of orgasms you can accomplish before deciding on a type of toy you are seeking.
Clitoral Orgasms is achieved by stimulation of the clitoris. This can be achieved either manually, orally, during intercourse or with sex toys. The clitoral orgasm is probably the most common form of orgasm among women. These orgasms are typically described as higher and more intense and can be accompanied by a sense of over stimulation. Many women report that their clitoris is too sensitive to be touched directly following an orgasm.
Vaginal Orgasms is achieved by stimulation of the interior of the vagina and the G-Spot. Vaginal orgasms are usually described as “deep” and “relaxing”, and can be followed by a profound sense of calm. There is a difference in response between the two types of orgasms as well
VIRATOR BASICS & INFORMATION:
Here are some basic factors about vibrators, which is an important first step toward making decisions regarding what you buy. The more information you have the more satisfied you will be with your selection. There are many sizes, shapes, colors, functions and materials available it’s no surprise you feel overwhelmed when choosing your first vibrator.
Decide on a Power Source: The first and most basic issue to consider when choosing a vibrator is the power source. The difference in performance between electric vibrators and battery-powered vibrators can be significant. The question you want to answer is: Would you prefer a portable vibrator that you can use where and when you like, or are you willing to sacrifice portability for a bit more power? Electric vibrators are typically more powerful than battery-powered vibrators, but you need to have access to a wall socket to use them.
Battery Powered Vibrators: Majority of vibrators is battery operated and their popularity is warranted. Portability and price have combined to make battery power the most popular choice. Battery powered vibrators come in all shapes, sizes and colors, and can be used almost anywhere.
Electric Vibrators: Have a reputation for being among the most powerful and reliable sex toys on the market. While the benefits of electric vibrators include solid construction, quiet operation and reliability, the downside is that most electric vibrators are not portable as battery-powered vibrators.
Silicone Vibrators: Silicone is an ideal material for sex toys for penetration. It warms up to body temperature, transmits vibrations well, is non-porous, easy to clean, and much more durable. Silicone is recommended for people concerned about having allergic reactions to sex toys materials. It is available in a wide variety of densities, shapes, and colors. Toys that are 100% silicone are soft, chemically inert and hypoallergenic. This material does not contain phthalates.
How do vibrators work Vibrators contain an electric or battery powered motor that produces vibrations. When the power is turned on the vibrating motor is activated, creating the vibrations.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF VIBRATOR:
Consider Vibrator Styles and Types: There are a variety of styles and types of vibrators to choose from, and the style you choose will depend on what kind of stimulation you’re looking for. For example, do you think you’d enjoy a vibrator that would stimulate just your clitoris; would you prefer that your vibrator stimulate your G-Spot; or Both the clitoral and the G-Spot??? The type of stimulation you choose is critical to your success at finding the right vibrator. The best and easiest way to determine what kind of stimulation you like is to think about what you enjoy when you’re masturbating or having sex with a partner. Do you orgasm when you or your partner stimulates your clitoris, or do you find direct clitoral stimulation too intense? Do you crave deep G-Spot stimulation, or do all of your best orgasms come from clitoral stimulation? Once you know what turns you on you’re in a very good position to decide what type or style of vibrator would work best for you.
Traditional Vibrators are slim, straight, between four and eight inches in length, and are usually made of plastic. They are available in many different finishes, including bright colors and metallic. Most traditional vibrators are adjustable, allowing the user full control over the vibration level. The hard plastic outer casing helps maintain the strength of the vibrations by transferring them directly from the motor.
G-Spot Vibrators: are usually shaped like a traditional vibrator, with the exception that they are curved at the end to allow contact with the G-Spot. They are typically between four and eight inches in length and have a base-mounted controller for easy vibration control. The best G-Spot orgasms come when you apply firm pressure.
Clitoral Vibrators: These are vibrators that were designed to stimulate the clitoris exclusively. They are not usually the best choice for vaginal insertion. They do have a head, ball or egg that were designed to stimulate the clitoris. These toys are usually small and compact, making them great for travel. These orgasms are achieved by stimulating the clitoris is intense and satisfying. Women have demanded a vibrator that speaks to their needs a vibrator that offers direct and intense clitoral stimulation, one that leaves them feeling as satisfied.
Electric Vibrators: are designed to stimulate the clitoris. Electric powered vibrators usually double as muscle massagers and are constructed of high quality materials.
Butterfly Vibrators or Venus vibrators or hands-free stimulators: They tare designed to directly stimulate the clitoris. They are small devices about the circumference of a soda can that nestle up to the vagina and clitoris and are held in place by waist or leg straps. Butterfly vibrators are quiet. Many people find that the best thing about butterfly vibrators is that they are virtually hands-free, which leaves the vagina exposed and ready for oral or manual stimulation and most can be worn during intercourse.
Vibrating Eggs: A small egg shaped capsule, usually two inches or so in length houses a powerful vibration motor. These eggs can be used internally (with a bullet buddy) or externally and usually come with a remote battery pack that lets you choose between several vibration options and multiple vibration intensity levels.
Combination Vibrators Known as multipurpose vibrators: A combination vibrator is a vibrator that incorporates a combination of features. The Jack Rabbit is a good example of a combination vibrator. The Jack Rabbit stimulates the clitoris with the “bunny” while stimulating the G-Spot with the twisting shaft and the outer-vaginal area with the spinning beads. These versatile toys are designed with both the clitoris and G-Spot in mind. Usually having it’s own control knob. These vibrators really do it all and are worth a look whether you enjoy clitoral stimulation, G-Spot or vaginal stimulation or both.
Non-waterproof vibrators are easy to clean. Either spray the shaft with adult toy cleaner and dry it off with a clean towel, or wipe the shaft with a moist washcloth and a little soap. Be very careful not to expose the base of the vibrator to water. Moisture can corrode the electronic equipment inside the vibrator.
Waterproof Vibrators: A waterproof vibrator is designed for the bathtub, hot tub, pool, or any other body of water. The delicate internal electronic parts are sealed in to prevent moisture from entering, and the battery compartment is watertight. They are easy to clean because you do not have to worry about exposing the internal electrical components to moisture. Just be sure the cap is tightened securely.
Cyberskin Vibrators: Realistic vibrators will amaze you with their skin-like textured surface and their very realistic appearance. They are a good choice if you are seeking something that feels soft like skin. You must use a water-based lubricant because silicone lubes will damage the outer surface.
Jelly Vibrators: are soft and are good choices if you prefer a softer feel. These toys made from jelly need to be stored in a cool place with good circulation as they can be damaged by prolonged, excessive heat.
Plastic Vibrators: are hard and inflexible which transfers vibrations very well. Plastic may be a good material if you like your sex toys to have a solid, hard feel to them.
Silicone: is a popular material because it combines the best of both worlds. It is soft and supple like some of the realistic materials but very durable. Silicone can be subjected to temperatures up to about 400 degrees before it will melt and silicone toys do not degrade over time.
Vibrator Kits: Basic kits usually include several types of vibrators, a few sleeves of various shapes and sizes, and often some lubricant. If you want to get fancy you can find kits with items like feathers, blindfolds, masks, beads…you name it. People find that the kits are a great way to sample several types of vibrators.
Strap On Butterfly Vibrator A butterfly vibrator is a small vibrator designed to fit snugly against the vagina. They are usually held in place by leg and/or waist straps. These toys can often be used during intercourse, allowing both people to be stimulated.
Glass: and glass dildos Glass toys are completely safe. They are made from clear medical grade borosilicate(Pyrex) chip free glass, are lead-free crystal, non-toxic, and will withstand extreme temperatures and will withstand up to 3,000 lbs of pressure and extreme heat and cold. They are non porous and can be sterilized to help prevent infection. Glass is extremely hard and smooth, and can be boiled without any adverse effects. Glass and other hard materials transfer vibrations very well and are a good choice if you want powerful vibrations and/or you like the feeling of hardness. These types of sex toys are not only durable, but also very appealing to the eye. Many people considered them to be a work of art.
HOW TO AND WHY
How do you adjust the vibrators on the vibrator? Base vibration control: Most traditional vibrators are controlled by a dial mounted on the base and these controllers are typically adjusted by turning the dial clockwise to turn up the vibrations, and counterclockwise to turn them down or off.
Separate controller: Some vibrators have a separate unit that holds the batteries and contains the vibration controls. The control unit is connected to the vibrator with a cord. Pushing buttons to increase or decrease the intensity of the vibrations operates some, and some are dials similar to those found on the base of most traditional vibrators.
How long does a vibrator last? The average vibrator will typically last a year or more, depending on how often they are used and how well they are maintained. The better you take care of your vibe the longer it will last.
How does the battery compartment open on a vibrator? Standard Base: Most Slimline vibrators have a base controller that falls into the “standard base” category. The simple base consists of a cap at the bottom of the vibrator that can be removed by twisting it in a counterclockwise These base controllers usually have two parts - one part that twists onto the vibrator shaft, and another part that is used to adjust the vibration levels. Be careful not to twist the adjustment knob when tightening or loosening the cap - only twist the part of the base that actually connects to the vibrator. It is possible to damage the adjuster knob with forceful twisting. Once the battery compartment is exposed it is usually a simple matter of inserting the correct size batteries and securing the base back into place.
Multi-component Base: Some vibrators, for example clitoral vibrators or dual-purpose vibrators, have a base controller with multiple switches or knobs. This type of battery compartment is usually accessible through the back of the base controller. If you turn it over there should be an arrow or a “thumb grip” marked by an arrow or a series of parallel lines. To open the battery compartment, simply place your thumb on the thumb grip and slide the door in the direction of the arrow, and some will slide down slightly and then require that you lift the door upwards. Once the battery compartment is exposed, insert the batteries in the direction shown in the battery compartment, close the door and you’re ready to enjoy.
Remote Battery Pack: Some vibrators are connected to a battery pack extension or power cord. This is a common setup for butterfly vibrators and hands-free clitoral massagers. To open the battery compartment, take a look to see if there is an arrow, or a note that says, “push to open”, or other similar instructions. Once you find the arrow or the indented area with instructions, place your thumb there and slide the door downward. The door should open, exposing your vibrator’s battery compartment.
Vibrator Rattle: The reason for rattles you are missing the battery compartment insert. Most vibrators come with a paper insert that lines the battery compartment. This insert may be an important part of your vibrator. It acts, as insulation between the batteries and the external casing and without the insulation; the battery is free to rattle against the outer shell. The insert also helps prevent any battery leakage from coming in contact with the outer shell. If you lost or threw away your insert, don’t worry just make a replacement for it. Just cut a piece of paper into a rectangle and insert it.
VIBRATORS & ORGASMS QUESTIONS:
What percentages of women have tried a vibrator? Somewhere between 60% and 80% of women report that they’ve used a vibrator at least once in their life. It depends on which study you read.
I tried a vibrator and it didn’t do much for me. Is there something wrong with me? By far the most common reason a woman does not enjoy a vibrator is because she is not using it correctly. You will need to figure out what kind of stimulation you enjoy before buying a vibrator. If you enjoy clitoral stimulation during the course of your normal sexual activity then start with a clitoral vibrator.
Are the orgasms you get from a vibrator more powerful than normal ones? The power of an orgasm greatly depends on the person and the vibrator they are using. The biggest factor in having intense orgasms with a vibrator is using one that gives you the type of stimulation you like.
Can anal vibrators give you an orgasm? Yes it is possible. Anal vibrators are popular because the anus is a very sensitive spot with a lot of pleasure producing nerves. Stimulating these nerves with a vibrator can heighten one’s sexual experience and lead to stronger orgasms.
Can vibrators be used during intercourse? Yes, you can use a vibrator during intercourse. In fact, there are certain vibrators called butterfly vibrators that are designed for this purpose. If you do not have access to a butterfly vibrator any small stimulator will do.
What is a Cock Ring? A cock ring is a device that fits around the penis, constricting the flow of blood and increasing the intensity of an erection. Just before orgasm the cock ring is released, creating a more powerful orgasm.
What is a Penis Pump? A penis pump is a device that increases penis size with vacuum pressure.
What types of Glass Dildos are out there? There are many types of glass dildos out there. I have listed a few here for you… G-Spot Glass Dildos are curved, provide stimulation to those hard to reach areas from unique angles, and are available in a realistic stand up style or in a probe or wand shape.
Straight Glass Dildos: Wrap has a straight shaft and variation in the shape or diameter of the shaft.
Glass Rotary Dildos: commonly known as a twister dildo is a sex toy that is meant for use in a rotating by turning or twisting the handle. These dildos usually feature very interesting signature style textured heads.
Handles and Love Batons: Glass dildos with handles also known as love Batons are very functional toys that work well solo or with a partner. The handle provides a nice grip and allows the love baton better maneuverability to help you work it just the way you or your partner like it.
Huge Glass Dildos and Butt Plugs: These dildos and butt plugs are considered huge because they are above average in some way either in length, girth or both.
Curved Pyrex Sex Toys: Curved toys are designed to provide stimulation from unique angles. A curved sex works great for G-Spot or prostate stimulation and Pyrex makes the experience even better.
MATERIAL CARE & CLEANING:
Different sex toy materials require different care and cleaning methods, as listed below. Sex toys should be cleaned before and after each use.
Why does my new toy have an unusual smell? If you have ever bought a new latex or jelly toy, or if you have just purchased one, you may notice an unusual smell. The quickest way to eliminate the smell is to wash your toy with adult toy cleaner or mild soap, and let it air out before you use it. This should be done any way before using a new toy. The smell is caused by phthalates, a chemical used to soften jelly and some other materials.
Plastic: Sex toy cleaner OR Soap and water
Silicone: Sex toy cleaner, Soap and water, Boiling water
Jelly: Sex toy cleaner OR Mild soap and water
Latex: Sex toy cleaner OR Mild soap and water
Cyberskin: Sex toy cleaner OR Cyberskin cleansing solution
Glass: Sex Toy Cleaner or put in dishwasher

Sex Toys - Myths & Facts
June 9, 2008 by admin
Filed under Romance & Sexuality
Good Evening, Booty Parlor Fans: Here’s a great article by Cory Silverberg that I thought I’d share. This serves as validation to what I’ve been saying all along - SEX TOYS ARE GREAT! They are fun to play with by yourself or with your lover. So happy reading. Oh! Once you finish this blog I expect you to drop me an email at bootyparlorbabe@yahoo.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to book your very own Booty Parlor Party in April - the month we officially launch in San Diego. Book now and receive a free gift from Booty Parlor. Remember, too much of a good thing CAN be wonderful.
Myth: Sex toys are only for people who have a bad sex life, or no sex life:
Sex Toy Fact: Everyone and anyone you can image is the kind of person who uses sex toys. In fact research on vibrator use suggests that people who are having sex use sex toys more than those who aren’t, and that between 20-30% of people have used sex toys at least once in their lives. Sex toys aren’t a crutch or a cure-all, they are an addition to sexual repertoire.
Myth: Sex toys are addictive:
Sex Toy Fact: Addiction implies harm, and there is nothing harmful about using sex toys (as long as they’re used properly). It’s true that people can become used to using sex toys, and even come to rely on them, but there is no “withdrawal” and anyone can easily get themselves back to masturbation or partner sex without sex toys. People who suggest that vibrator addiction is real tend to be people who think that any sex toy use is too much sex toy use.
Myth: If a woman has a sex toy, she won’t need a man:
Sex Toy Fact: Sex toys are not replacements for people. A sex toy won’t make you breakfast, or cuddle, or tell you how much it loves you. Many men are intimidated by sex toys because they have been raised with the idea that the most important thing about them is what’s between their legs. These myths about male sexuality sink in early, and as a result most men are insecure about their sexual importance. Also, let’s remember that there are lots of women who don’t want a man in the first place, and a sex toy isn’t going to change that one way or the other.
Myth: Guys only use sex toys because they can’t get any “real” sex:
Sex Toy Fact: The clich� about men and sex toys is the guy in the raincoat, buying the “masturbator” and watching porn in his basement while masturbating. The reality about men and sex toys is that millions of them use them, in one study it was 21% of respondents, both when they are in relationships and single. The best way for a man to become a better lover is to learn more about his own sexual response. Masturbation, with or without sex toys, is the key to this, and to learning to control ejaculation. Using sex toys doesn’t mean a man is a loser, it means he’s smart, and likely to be better in bed for it.
Myth: Sex toys make sex less natural:
Sex Toy Fact: Most of us are raised being told many lies about sex among them that “natural sex” means one thing only. Is drawing less “natural” when we use a pencil and paper? Is painting more “natural” if we use our own blood, rather than paints? Of course not. Yet sex is somehow less “natural” if we use tools and toys to make it different. Sex toys are animated not by batteries but by our imaginations, and using sex toys is as natural as the people using them.
Myth: There are bad sex toys and good sex toys:
Sex Toy Fact: With the exception of a few sex toys that pose obvious risks, there is no such thing as a “good” or “bad” sex toy. Sex toys are whatever we do with them. A vibrator that would be too strong, too heavy, and painful for one person might be perfect for another. A dildo that feels sticky and looks weird to one, might be the ideal shape, size and texture for another. The trick is to find the sex toy that’s right for you, but most sex toys will be good for some people, and bad for others.
Myth: The more you pay for a sex toy, the better it is:
Sex Toy Fact: A $6 vibrator might give you more pleasure than a $300 vibrator. More expensive sex toys should last longer, be made of better materials, and maybe come from smaller, more ethically run companies, but they won’t necessarily feel better or give you more pleasure. Sex toys are like most other commercial products in that the budget ones will do the trick, and more often than not, that’s all we’re looking for.
Myth: Sex toys are kinky:
Sex Toy Fact: Words like “kinky” and “normal” are completely relative and while they may govern what you feel comfortable talking about (or doing) in public, the sooner you realize that everyone is “kinky” behind closed doors, the happier and less stressful your sex life will be. Sex toys don’t make sex kinky, and using them doesn’t “say” anything about the kind of person you are, other than the fact that you’re the kind of person who feels worthy of sexual pleasure. Which is a highly respectable reputation to have in any social circle.
Myth: Sex toys can cause damage to your body:
Sex Toy Fact: Those people who would rather us not use sex toys at all come up with a variety of arguments for why they are bad. They’re addictive, their weird, and if you use them you can ruin yourself for “real sex”. For starters, “real sex” is any kind of sex you’re having or thinking about having. Also, there is no evidence whatsoever that sex toys can damage or harm your sexual sensitivity or genitalia. Of course you could always poke out an eye if you don’t use your sex toy properly, but the same is true of your can opener, and no one’s telling you to throw that away.
