My Buddy - Sex Toy Review
Not this buddy 
When P. emailed me about his new product, My Buddy (and again no, it's not the doll that was created for boys that also bares more than a little resemblance to Chucky the killer, psycho toy), I wasn’t all that into the concept. It’s not that I didn’t think it was a good idea, I did, but it’s designed to work with a Hitachi Magic Wand or another powerful back massager, and those types of vibes are a bit too much for a sensitive clitty like mine. I own a wand, but I don’t use it. At least not on my sensitive bits. I do use it on my back, or on my boyfriends back, because on the low setting the magic wand does make for a good back toy.
So, yeah, when P. sent me his idea and asked me if I wanted to help him arrange a study, I wasn’t all that quick to dive in. I did however request a sample (as a sexplorer I want to explore). So, we communicate for months before the product is actually complete and then one day I get a voicemail from P.
He tells me he thinks I’m an indigo kind of girl (actually I’m more of a green or pink) and so he’s sending me one of his My Buddy’s for testing. It takes about a month to make its way into my home. I happen to live near the worst post office in the world, and therefore when I’m not home to accept shipment, it takes them almost three weeks to get me the package (as an aside, it takes them another two months to find and redeliver my diploma this summer).
It’s a bit bulky, this My Buddy, and my boyfriend rolls his eyes with that “oh great, another sex toy that is going to take up room in our space” sort of expression. I promise to test it, and then find a good, caring, Hitachi Magic Wand loving home for the buddy.
So, another month passes and now I’m ready to take My Buddy for a ride. I realize I’ve yet to accurately describe what a My Buddy is, and while I will link to the site, truth is, it’s a hard site to read. Between the black background, and the type that moves itself, spending too much time on the sight may make you queasy. But that’s not the point.
Okay so My Buddy is sort of like the Mini-me version of a Liberator Shape in that it allows you to get in certain positions that you might not be able to get into without its help. It looks sort of like a warped pillow with a glory hole drilled out of its middle. It’s designed with one end to grasp your thighs around, and you can essentially ride it. Stare at the picture up top and you’ll understand better…
I squatted on it and let the Magic Wand work it’s uh, magic. I also kept both my pants and underwear on at this time too (it still does the job this way, trust me). I felt like I was putting too much weight on the buddy, and I wasn’t always comfortable in this position. When I tried to get more comfortable, then the Wand wasn’t in the right spot. I imagine it would actually work well if I was in doggie style, getting fucked from behind. But I don’t think I can take the intensity of the wand and the sex, at least not at the same time.
So, do I recommend this product? Well, I do think it’s a nice way to play with your Wand without needing your hands. I do think that it’s going to work well for a group of women who like power and position. I like that it comes in a number of colors and that P. is really passionate about his buddy. Still, it’s too big for my apartment, and ironically it’s not that big at all. But it’s a unique-ish idea, and something that, if you can’t live without a Wand, you may consider buying. Just to change things up a bit.
