The iVibe Rabbit
[ 12 January 2009 ]
A few days ago, in my mailbox appeared
A pink iVibe rabbit, the one that’s revered
For Charlotte’s addiction to staying in bed
Avoiding Carrie & Sam & that mouthy redhead.
So what does it look like? Well, it’s quite bright
With pearls which rotate to give coy delight
It’s safe in the water & has great speed control
To assist you in getting your orgasmic goal!
I cannot explain why it’s shaped like a rabbit
All I know is it’s a fab new bad habit.
You’ll smile blissfully & glide past your spouse
Before awakening everyone in your house.
The reason for its fame is apparent & clear,
This vibe is one you will want to keep near.
Madame Rouge is doing an excellent deal
Perhaps you’ll pass out from its sheer sex appeal!
With your rabbit you’ll also receive a free book
With erotic tales to get you all shook,
As well as free batteries & a discreet little pouch
So it doesn’t get “discovered” behind the couch!
So flock to the shop & buy a sweet toy
It’s one thing you’re guaranteed to enjoy.
& more orgasms as a new year’s resolution?
Yes! You should start a self-love revolution!
Love letters & feather headdresses,

hah very poetic miss darling!
Hmmm i’ve been wanting one of these for a while.
Excelent deal you say?
I might have to ‘jump right on it!’
:x
[ t a y l o r ] — Haha. I love mine! I have owned several! I think every girl should have one, they’re a foolproof staple!
I was just wondering which vibrator you were writing a poem about. A very worthy one I see!
cat — For real! Ode to the rabbit!
Videos! Poems! Rabbits! Love the documentation of your adventures!
Have you ever been to Bliss in Newmarket (Auckland) Gala? It is the most wonderful wonderful reflexology session ever in the whole world! I was in Auckland for NLP trainers training and spent every spare second at Bliss recovering from all the ‘hard’ work!
There is also one in Wellington! It could be wonderful recovery from heaps of hooping! Although maybe the rabbit is enough!
what adorable presentation! if only i could throw down the $160 for this beauty…
I am sure a more poetic ode to a sex toy has never been written. Well done, lady. :)
Gala you’re so highly amusing & ridiculousa!
Awesome poem I must admit! You should try & rap it!
I asked my beloved what did he think, and he said “Brave!”
hehe :P
Hah! Not falling for it this time. After the ohMiBod I have decided that we definitely differ in sex toy taste.
Nelly! — No, I’ve never been to Bliss, but it sounds good! Reflexology is amazing, I haven’t had any for ages. I am going to look into it…
Althea — Aahahahha. You just KNOW I’m going to go through the instrumentals in my iTunes & try it now!
witnit — You weirdo! What was your issue with the OhMiBod? It is a little controversial I admit, but I have yet to meet ANYONE who doesn’t like the rabbit!
I thought the OhMiBod was just half-arsed. Noisy, cheap-looking, and the motor didn’t really vary in intensity so much as either buzz annoyingly or flutter on and off sporadically like a wounded bird. Maybe it didn’t like my music, but I’m not going to change my musical tastes for anybody, least of all a vibrator.
Actually, I’m sure the rabbit is just lovely, but I have other priorities as far as expensive toys go.
witnit — I agree that it isn’t spectacular in the aesthetic stakes, but I do think it’s a whole lot of fun once you get used to it! I hear you on expensive toys too. Enormous monitor, anyone? (Mmmmmm.)
witnit — Actually having said, I just glanced at the pile of Naughtibods I have in the corner of my room, haha. They look completely different — coloured & cute, actually the sort of thing Apple would design as opposed to the old style of OhMiBod which just looked like a fluorescent light.
I actually want jimmyjane to make an iPod companion one. I have never played with their stuff, but it would look the bizness with a colour/finish to match your iPod.
Expensive toys, yes, I would like me a 30” Apple display and a Fun Factory Delight, plz ;)
Haha SWEET RHYME :D
Strangely enough I took delivery of a ‘new friend’ today. It’s not a rabbit but it has little blue diamante sparklies so I love it all the same :D
I did notice that the Naughtibod looked much cuter, but once bitten, and all that.
witnit — I have never tried ye olde jimmyjane, but I have heard good things. They have a pretty significant celebrity following too, which is not to say that people who get sprung by the paparazzi know more about their vaginas than the rest of us, but it must stand for something!
Joanne — Blue diamante sparklies, AHHHHH! I’m such a magpie & totally jealous! I hope you’re enjoying it, you little vixen!
Well, they are the people with enough money to blow on a gold, diamond-studded vibrator, right?
witnit — Truth. I always wonder how much of that stuff is just given to them though. It’s pretty good for promo. Send your product to famous people, ask them what they think, then say “____ IS A FAN!”.

That’s the one. Apparently it is ‘the Paris Hilton of vibes’. AWESOME.
Seriously…once you have one, you do not look back.
fantastic! now i want one even more!
Joanne: trying to figure out whether “the Paris Hilton of vibes” is a recommendation or a warning ;)
Gala: yeah, it rather annoys me that people with money to burn get freebies while the rest of us have to fork over what little we have.
Gala: This is amazing. I work at a feminist sex toy shop and wish we could play something like this all day.
Also, Fun Factory for the win. They make the best, most well constructed toys. T
I’d like to preface this comment with the fact that I have tried sex toys, lots of them, and am not at all inhibited in bed, but ummm, I like my hand just fine. Combine my hand and my brain and it’s lovely times.
I always feel like I’m in some sort of sexual dark ages when I say that, ha!
Ashleigh: FF really are awesome, huh? Gotta love that German engineering. Wish they were a little less pricey here, but then pretty much everything is in this country.
Aw… I’d love a rabbit, but every time I gingerly approach one in an adult store I’m intimidated by all of its “bits”. It looks complicated!
Vanessa — It’s all about personal preference. & if you can do it for yourself, that’s completely awesome. I’m sure it makes life easier for your lovers, too, since you are more aware of what’s going on & what you want, etc.!
Panda — Aw! Don’t be afraid! It wants to be your friend!
ROTFL!
Witnit: I would say they are the best quality toys out there. Though, there are some other lovely toys out there like those made by Lelo and Vibratex. Plus, there are the really nice ones made by Jimmy Jane (quiver) and Babeland (Sasi).
You’ll have to check out “Good Vibrations” when you visit San Francisco. The most laid back, cool sex shop you’ll find!
Ahaha…I was going to reply to Vanessa, saying “different strokes”. Then I giggled like a schoolgirl.
I’m this much closer to getting some sort of sex toy :) that poem definitely helped! Though I came across the ben wah balls on it and now I think I’ll have to get those…
Luckily I have monday off – maybe a field trip to the local sex shops :)
I DO know of people who don’t like the original rabbit. I personally haven’t tried it, but I’ve heard horror stories of how they twist and swivel and spin like an insane helicopter, which is wayyy too much. I like things that simply vibrate, not that do fancy tricks with oscilating beads that flop around like a dying fish.
But obviously some people like it!
nice to see a recommendation for a rabbit vibe that is actually pthalate free, although it doesn’t say what material this one is made out of? the fun factory range is amazing, they do rabbits as well, and are medical grade silicone so they don’t trap yicky bacteria in them…. dvice.co.nz/sex.
J — Yup, there is huge variation from rabbit to rabbit. This one (Doc Johnson) is just right, I think, & not like a miniature tornado inside your… girl passage! ;D
Oh Gala!
A poem about a sex toy!
Haha!
What is it with people and sending you virators for free anyhow?!
Haha!
Ok, well if Gala says so! ;) You’ve also inspired me to try hula hooping. There’s a neon pink hoop propped up against my work desk right now and I’ve been giving it a workout every time the phones are quiet! It has pretty much confirmed my workmates’ suspicions that I’m completely nuts. :D
*vibrators.
My bad.
Mmm looks yum, althought I generally prefer smaller and most discreet lady-part-lovers heh. I’m glad to know it gets the Gala seal of approval though!
Very lovely poem, Gala :)

I love the way you signed off — “self-love revolution”...YEAAAHHH....
Tee hee, adorable!
What a cute poem to receive in my inbox!! :)
for ladies who can’t handle direct and intense clitoral stimulation, stay away from the rabbit. Just buy something else. I found the rabbit ears didn’t have a low enough setting and after 5 minutes I was uncomfortable.
I’d go with the Royal Wizard instead. Far less intense and more comfortable to begin with. Also it’s not too girthy.
Animal faces on my sex toys? No thanks.

My current vibe. Lovely. Perfect in every way.
And it’s similar the Rabbit! Of course mine only has 3 speeds to your 7. Maybe when mine breaks (am I the only one who break their vibes? Like, need a new one every year?) I’ll shell out for the upgrayyed. I like the look of those pearls.
I adore Rabbits, but the beads on mine always get jammed after about a week of use. Even the one that says the beads won’t jam! It’s ridiculous :/
I’m in love with my Onye I got from Babeland a few months ago. It’s quiet, powerful, and it’s pretty too! It does kind of remind me of those memory eraser things from Men In Black though. The button is even at the top! ;D
All I can say is- I have a pet boy rabbit and I can now understand why it’s called that. I have to give him stuffed animals to calm him down… poor thing.
At any rate- looks like a wonderful toy. I’m envious! I got one in Pigalle in Paris after going to a cabaret, and it’s pretty nice, but nothing like this, I can imagine!
Now- to scope out this feminist porn that I am so excited to finally get a hold of. What’s your favorite porn?
Oh dear, Gala, poetry is not your strong point is it?! CRINGE!
However, a review of a vibrator in verse?? I do like the concept!
ooof, want! unfortunately i don’t have $160. maybe someone will buy me it for my birthday tomorrow! hint, hint ;) (what? it’s worth a try! :3) xx
I did some research on line and found a site that has it at 50% off. I don’t know if I can post the website or not (I’m sure Gala probably has some sort of advertising deal with the Madame website so I’ll wait for her to give me OK or the Not ok)
The Hummingbird is also a toy that should be just as revered :)
That was a great SATC episode. Between this one & the OhMiBod, which do you prefer?
Jeanette — Go ahead!
Marisol — I prefer the Rabbit, it’s more versatile! More of a regular use thing, I think! Plus I have owned rabbits for years, so I am much more familiar with them :>
I hated mine. It was the one pictured above. It cost $200 and broke after a few uses. Never once left me feeling …satisfied.
I will NEVER buy one of these again.
``a — That is so disappointing, I’m sorry! I have had nothing but good experiences with them!

This is the site. :) Enjoy.
Gala you are awesome. I love how this site is now a daily routine for many women. I find all of your postings very helpful in many different ways. Inspiring when it comes to fashion and also personal day to day things. I’ve gotten a moleskine because of you and I write in it religiously. It’s my best friend. It’s easier writing down your feelings then explaining them to people. Thank you for giving us something to look forward to. :) Keep up the AWESOME work. ;)
No,no,no,no Cheap and overdone I’ve had 3 rabbits in their various incarnations and none of them ever lasted, this however, might be something to do with having well developed pelvic floor muscles *blush.
I bought the Minx vibrator last year, not only does it look gorgeous, but it’s the best sex toy I’ve ever tried.

there’s no price listed on site but it’s under 200euro’s plus shipping.
best self gift ever.
