  • raddit vibrators | May 25, 2009 14:37

    Rabbit Vibrators(http://www.risqueboutique.com/) have been designed for simultaneous internal (vaginal) and external (clitoral) stimulation. The rabbit-shaped stimulator is positioned against the clitoris (or anus), whilst the shaft is inserted into the vagina. Due to the fact that the popularity among many women is growing to simply use the rabbit for clitoral stimulation, one may find to this end that a number of newer 'rabbit' style toys are being manufactured which simply consist of the vibrating bunny ears without a penetrative shaft. However, dual-action vibe and clitoral Rabbit stimulators maintain to be among today's best online selling sex toys. They normally offer a choice between two shaft rotation speeds and two patterns of clitoral stimulation, or allow the user to enjoy both functions at the same time.

  • Recycled Record Cover Journals | Jun 09, 2008 00:52

    Thanks for the kind words.

    It was nice to find RiverWired and the innovative products that try to make a difference.

    I should note that the cover is 100% Post Consumer waste. And is actually more green than recycled papers because there is no de-inking necessary.

    I like to think that your best musical memories are recycled too.
