Suzy’ Sex Toy Review: Lelo Siri

I’d like to begin this toy review for the Lelo Siri by stating that this is easily my favorite vibrator to date!  I definitely intend on updating to the Siri 2 just because the Siri by Lelo is incredible. The packaging for Lelo products is always gorgeous which is  why I’m always s excited about a new Lelo toy.

This particular toy is primarily intended for clitoral stimulation. First impressions being, it is a very small and discreet egg shaped vibe that is visually very cute but also very soft to the touch with it’s phthalate-free silicone. Siri is very discreet in size not to mention very quiet as well for any of you out there where a quiet vibrator is a must.

Siri has a number of popular functions such as slow pulse, quick pulse, escalating pulse, decreasing pulsations as well as a steady vibration option with the ability to gradually increase or decrease intensity.  I am a bit of a Goldie-Locks when it comes to finding just the right intensity with a toy. Some are not enough, some are too much and then sometimes there is the toy that offers the perfect combination of the two. I find this perfect combination of intensities with low rumbling vibrations and high buzzy vibrations in the Siri. Siri is rechargeable and can last for up to approximately 4 hours so I do find it to be a very reliable toy. The shape of the toy is a huge plus for those of you that need to reach that exact spot that drives you crazy. The egg shape provides that slight point while still being soft and curved so that it still feels very comfortable.

The only con I can think of with Siri is that it’s not fully sumersible  in water. It’s not a toy that can be brought into the bath. I wouldn’t even risk bringing it into the shower  because the charging port does not have a seal on it and the buttons are exposed. This  leaves  space for water to get in and damage the toy. Just because some toys claim to be “waterproof” does not mean that they are. Bodily fluids? Sure! Submerged underwater? Bad idea. Sadly there are companies out there that will not honor the warranty on a toy with water damage even though they claimed it to be waterproof.

Always keep an eye when purchasing a toy to make sure that the charging port is sealed/covered and that the buttons for functions and speeds do not have cracks along the edges that water can get into. I’ve found that some of the best fully waterproof toys are 100% silicone meaning the entire exterior of the toy is silicone. If you don’t mind not being able to take your vibrator into the bath then Siri is a 10/10 score.  It is a must try if you’re seeking a cute, long lasting, small clitoral vibe. I’d highly recommend checking out Siri and Lelo’s selection at your local sex shop!

Guelph Sexuality Conference 2016: Challenges, Barriers & Rewards Inside Oasis Aqualounge

On Thursday June 23rd, Marketing Director/Event Producer, Fatima Mechtab presented at the 38th Annual Guelph Sexuality Conference. The theme of this year’s conference was ‘Pleasure,’ and Fatima developed a topic entitled ‘Inclusivity & Pleasure-Barriers, Challenges & Rewards Inside Oasis Aqualounge.’   This presentation aimed to address the broad concept of inclusivity as relates to a business such as Oasis Aqualounge.  It posed such questions as: how does a business strive to be inclusive when faced with such issues of accessibility and how can a business maintain the needs of it’s core demographic while expanding to include other identities and interests?

Celebrating 3 Years of Sapphic Aquatica on January 31st.

Sapphic Aquatica-the exclusive event for women and trans people -celebrated 3 years of sexuality and freedom on Sunday January 31st. Producer, promoter and host, Miss F brought an amazing group to assist in the festivities, which also included a fundraiser for Rainbow Rainbow-a registered, charitable organization that helps LGBTQ+ people, all over the world.

Any money towards to Rainbow Railroad included raffle tickets towards great prizes. A special thank you to LJ Studios and Purple Video Productions  for their donations of prizes. 4 winners were chosen and we appreciate all who donated towards this important cause.  A special mention to long standing S.A. volunteer and supporter Shona Fraser for her assistance with the raffle on site.

DJ Cozmic Cat provided sexy beats and had the crowd dancing on the main floor. A lap dance workshop by Sasha, held in the Oasis Ballroom,  kicked off the night and drew quite a number of spectators. They remained and more guests joined in the room once Sybian rides started, operated by a trained, female-identified staff member.  Guests were treated to this high-powered pleasure machine to the back drop of   porn, filmed on location, featuring  actors Sophie Rose, Jemma Valentine, Billy Autumn, Mara Dyne and more.  Stay tuned for more from the Lady Lips brand-queer, femme born that teases and pleases!

The main floor welcomed three fantastic performances; a poetry reading from Hoa Nguyen, transgender drag queen Judy Virago and burlesque sensation Belle Jumelles.  These performers entertained, seduced and added an element of art and glamour to the party.

Sapphic Aquatica is a bi-monthly event, held on the last Sunday. The next event is Sunday March 27th. For more information, please contact fatima@oasisaqualounge.com.
