Sample
Introduction:
This is a review of the spectacular MindBlower sonic and air clitoral stimulator. It’s one of my favorite toys I’ve ever used. Low cost, some key features, and works great.
Reader empathy:
Have you ever had a guy just stop licking you saying, “I’m getting tired” or had a guy who didn’t know his way around?
My clit is marvelous and I love it. Sometimes my fingers are perfect, but sometimes I want something more subtle and special.
Target Audience
This is great for those of you that have sensitive clits, looooove to have it licked, but don’t want any complaints or excuses.
Benefits and features
The penguin was invented to do one thing really well.
It’s cute.
It is easy to hold.
Social Proof
As I was researching this and asking my girlfriends, it turns out that many of them are excited about this new batch of sex toys – clitoral stimulation. THey’re amazing. Most of my friends have gotten ones.
And the ones that haven’t, are going to be getting a little gift in the mail soon.
Alternatives
There’s a whole batch of clitoral stimulators. Many of them work the same. Differences come down to size, the feel of the device, and the different settings, speeds, etc.
The MindBlower is similar to the Nuance Air Licker, and the Schmoove Girl Blower. I liked it better than those other ones.
Cost analysis: worth it?
At $42, the MindBlower is at the top of the game. I like it a lot and it’s less expensive than most.
Summarize
So in short, this ia great toy. Highly recommended. And among the most pleasurable toys I own.
