Briana Banks is probably only second to Jenna Jameson as Vivid's most popular contract girl, so it was really only a matter of time before we got
Briana's Vibrating Pussy & Ass, a nicely packaged cyberskin masturbator from Doc Johnson and Vivid.
I've tried a couple of these vaginas now, and Briana's new model falls somewhere just above average in both design and the ability to help you get off. There are basically two designs for the molds on these items - one that gives you the "doggy" view (with the asshole on top, the pussy on the bottom and "cheeks" to grip onto) and one that gives you the "missionary" view (pussy on top, asshole on bottom).
Briana's Vibrating Pussy & Ass is the latter of the two.
Although the box doesn't specifically say so, one can assume that this item was molded from Briana's real private parts - as is the case with almost all of these types of adult toys. The item is made from Doc Johnson's UR3 material - which provides a more realistic feel than the older molds that were made a few years back...but quite honestly, still doesn't really simulate the feeling of a real pussy. The makers of the toy have taken the time to add a little pink coloring around Briana's clit, as well as a small patch of hair above it - to give it a more "realistic" look.
The secret to getting the best session out of these types of toys is to use lube...and plenty of it! Fortunately, this item comes with 1 oz. of Vivid lube, which isn't quite as good as
Astroglide or
Wet lube, but will do the trick. Perhaps the nicest addition to this toy is the inclusion of a small, but powerful bullet device, which you can stick inside to enhance the pleasure. The remote for the bullet requires three AA batteries (not included), but is quite powerful and has adjustable speed and five different settings: vibrate, pulsate, surge, escalate and roller coaster.
When first using this toy (and others like it), you'll note that the openings (particularly the one for her ass) are tight -
very tight. But don't worry, you'll appreciate that fact once you are able to slide in, since the UR3 material really grips the sides of your cock as you start pumping in and out. The anal opening seemed to have little bumps inside - and although I wasn't sure if this was a small defect or by design, the anal opening actually felt a little better than the vaginal one.
It's up to the user how best to situate the item for maximum effect, but after trying it on a flat surface and doing it "missionary" for a few minutes, I found it was actually more enjoyable to lie on my back and pump the vagina up and down while holding the sides - as if Briana herself were riding me "cowgirl style".
My biggest problem with these types of toys (other than the fact that they don't feel totally "realistic") is that the user really has to do most of the work to get off. It's a nice alternative to the ol' solo handjob method, but I'm still not convinced these types of products warrant the price tag that the companies are asking for them. However, I've heard others claim they are as close as you can get to the real thing - so it's really just a matter of preference and how much you enjoy the feel of the UR3 material.
Of all the sex toys I have used, these types of realistic vaginas pose the most problems for clean-up...especially if you choose to deposit your load inside the toy. Mild soap and water should be used to clean out the toy, and then give it a good once-over with a towel and allow the rest to air dry. Talc has been included in the box as well for after the toy has properly dried. Apply a little to the surface and it will help maintain the toy's "skin" feel. If you don't use talc every once in a while, you'll find that your toy will get a more "sticky" feel to it. As always, take your time with cleaning - both to do a good job and to avoid any damage to the skin's surface.
Briana's Vibrating Pussy & Ass falls in about the midrange of prices for these types of toys, so if you are looking to try one out - this would be as good as any to start with. It's large enough to accommodate all but the extremely well-endowed and it will give you the opportunity to test out the UR3 skin design to see if it's something that you find pleasurable.
