The Rabbit Habit

Into the Rabbit Hole! Er, Into the Hole, Rabbit!

Okay, I guess I need to admit that I may be the only woman in America who hadn’t tried one of these vibrating rabbit vibrators. After its big appearance on Sex and the City, The Rabbit became more famous than some of the more lifelike vaginal insertion devices on the show. Hah! Still I resisted. Newfangled doo-hickies? Bah. But in the interest of science—and enlightening you, my dear readers—I took this latest incarnation of The Rabbit for a test drive down my, uh, rabbit hole.

The gizmo takes three AA batteries, which were thoughtfully provided by Babeland. It is touted as being “100% Elastomer” and “phthalate-free,” but I had no idea what the hell that meant. A quick check of the web site and I found that Elastomer is a “super soft, high quality material that is both latex- and phthalate-free.” When I researched further to find out what phthalate is, I discovered it’s a less-than-desirable chemical of some sort that is used in many sex toys, making them porous and thus unable to be totally disinfected. This soft Elastomer stuff is superior. Whatever, it feels nice. Squishy and giving and wonderfully washable.  I was eager to get next to it!

The handle has two sliding controls, one for the gyrating penis and rotating beads, the other for the clit-centric rabbit. They each slide from subtle to OHMIGOD with an imperceptible click.

Is it just me, or are sex toys like this kinda complicated? I mean, every woman’s angles and openings are pretty unique, and I just don’t know that I get hit in all the same ways that the inventors promise I will. When I crammed this cute lavender cockette inside me, while holding onto the vibrating handle, it sort of stalled. I had to let go of the handle in order for the pearls to keep on spinning. Maybe I was gripping it too hard, I dunno. They mention hitting the G spot, but no amount of angling could make that happen for me either. I’ve seen all sorts of oddly shaped contraptions that are, purportedly, more suitable for G spot spelunking. So let’s just concentrate on the rabbit part, shall we? Cause that’s what this toy is all about. And stimulating my clit is what I’m all about! Hey, I’m an immediate gratification kinda gal.

This toy is designed so the rabbit’s ears on the Rabbit Habit twitter and flutter alongside your clit. And may I say, enthusiastically, that they do! Though it wasn’t exactly easy for me to get just the right angle of spinning and shoving to work in conjunction with the fabulous fluttering, once I did it was one long, exquisite “Ooooooh, yessssssss!” It was, by far, the best sex toy-induced orgasm I’ve ever experienced. Which is saying a lot! So the Rabbit Habit gets two thumbs up from me. I would prefer, however, something similar that offered a little more “play” with the distance between rabbit and cockette, cause it would’ve been nice to be able to sink the penis in a little deeper while the most efficient little bunny did his (her?) thing. Hello, Japan, our vaginas aren’t one size fits all! Overall, a most rabbity-gratifying experience!
