Eco Delight Kit — Babeland

With so much focus lately on “going green”, many of us have started to look for more earth-friendly alter­na­tives, even in our sex­ual play. The won­der­ful folks over at Babe­land have taken the entire eco-friendly thing one step fur­ther with their Eco Delight Kit — and I was thrilled to be able to try it out and help the Earth at the same time.

The coolest part of the Eco Delight Kit for me was the pack­ag­ing it arrives in! The gift bag, which is made from recy­cled paper, is also stud­ded with wild­flower seeds so you can plant the entire thing and flow­ers will grow — seri­ously, how cool is that?! I can­not wait for warmer weather to come back so I can plant mine!

The Eco Delight Kit con­tains a Fun Fac­tory Delight vibra­tor — more on this S-shaped won­der in a bit, a bot­tle of vegan friendly Babe­land Nat­u­rals Organic Lube, a soy-based mas­sage can­dle in a sweet rice flower scent, and all nat­ural vegan friendly Mamba con­doms — made by a Swedish non-profit group!

I’m a huge fan of wax play and mas­sage, but mas­sage can­dles were new and unfa­mil­iar ter­ri­tory for me. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I was happy to dis­cover that the soft liq­uidy wax dripped on for warm and sen­sual play, but could be rubbed right into the skin to enhance the sen­sa­tion with mas­sage. The rice flower scent was light and neu­tral enough that my hus­band didn’t com­plain about the smell being “too girly”. I have to say that I’m a con­vert — I’ve actu­ally started shop­ping for other soy-based mas­sage can­dles because I love the addi­tional sen­sa­tion that comes from rub­bing the wax into the skin.

The Babe­land Organic Lube proved to be less pop­u­lar with us — D couldn’t use it at all because it con­tains aloe vera, which he is severely aller­gic to, so I had to test it out solo. It was a lit­tle thicker than I expected, and smelled a lit­tle weird, but worked out okay, if not a lit­tle gummy. I think I per­son­ally pre­fer thin­ner silkier lubes, but if you’re a fan of thick lubes, you might want to try it.

Since D and I don’t really play with any­one else right now, we don’t usu­ally use con­doms, so we weren’t really sure if we would want to test them out. But after a few moments of watch­ing me try out the Babe­land Organic Lube, D couldn’t keep his hands off me, and decided to don a Mambacon­dom to pro­tect him­self from the lube. Nei­ther of us really likes con­doms, but of all the con­doms that we’ve tried, the Mamba con­doms were some of the best. They didn’t smell funny, and they were thin enough that we didn’t lose a lot of sen­sa­tion. We’ve decided to get some more, so that when we do play with other peo­ple, we’ll have some nicer con­doms on hand.

The high­light of the kit, though, for me, was the Fun Fac­tory Delight vibra­tor — I got the pink. I have loved every sin­gle Fun Fac­tory toy that I’ve tried, so I had high hopes for the Delight. And it did not dis­ap­point me — the soft com­bi­na­tion of shiny plas­tic and silky sil­i­cone were pleas­ant to both the eye and the touch. It comes with a small rec­tan­gu­lar case which not only stores the vibra­tor, but also recharges it. After charg­ing it up for a few hours, it was ready to go, and so was I. Using the Delight has actu­ally made me won­der why more vibra­tors aren’t like it — not only is it envi­ron­men­tally friendly by being rechar­gable, but the S-curve shape is ergonomic! This was the first vibra­tor that I’ve ever used that was com­fort­able to use on myself. Usu­ally I end up break­ing my wrist try­ing to bend and twist a vibra­tor, but with the Delight, I could just hook my fin­gers into one end of the curve while the other end fit inside me per­fectly. Even D was impressed with it — he tied me down to the bed, and fit it inside me, and was able to leave it there while he went about other means and meth­ods of teas­ing and tor­ment­ing me.

And it feels amaz­ing. I’m a fan of strong vibra­tions, and so, I can rarely find a vibra­tor strong enough to sat­isfy me cli­torally. But the Delight’s 30+ set­tings (that’s right — it was 32 set­tings) run from barely there to exactly where I like it and then some, so I was able to find a set­ting per­fectly right for me.

I like to use toy clean­ing wipes on toys like these for con­ve­nience, but it also cleans up eas­ily with antibac­te­r­ial soap and water. Since it’s not 100% sil­i­cone, it can’t be ster­il­ized by boil­ing, so this is a toy where every­one will need one of their own.

So, all in all, I think the Eco Delight Kit proves that you can be sexy, have tons of fun in the bed­room, and still be earth-friendly! And don’t orgasms feel that much bet­ter when you know you’re help­ing the environment!
