DW and I introduced a vibe into our bedroom antics about 3 years ago. I took the move when I got a Durex bullet vibe from the condom section at the supermarket. It really did upgrade our sex life - frequency increased from one or twice a month to once a week or more and DW managed to climax every time (and big ones at that). DW came up with the idea of getting something bigger and bought something called a Swoon Wand which I think she got from Boots - this was even better for her - confiding in me that she used it on her own when I worked away. This one is bigger (but smaller than an erect penis) and made from a soft but very frictiony/rubbery/textured material. We then stopped using the bullet because it did not have strong vibes. Fast forward to today and she is convinced that the silicone Swoon is causing irritation/thrush and the old bullet has stopped working having relied on it for the last couple or months. DW has decided that she now wants to avoid vibes and sex has gone back to once a month. I'm thinking of getting something bigger than a bullet that is made from a hard easier to clean) material. DW would not like "sex shop" type novelty stuff - Durex brand or from a pharmacy is the only thing she would consider.
Has anyone else had irritation problems with silicone "inside" vibes (my theory is that it could be soap residue from when it was cleaned). Is there a quality non-silicone vibe that is a modest size? (I have looked on Love Honey and they all seem either cheapo gimmicks or rather too big). The big Durex one looks too big to me.
