The Oral Sex Buddy is part of the Crossbones line from Zero Tolerance. When I first received this, I was really wondering what on earth this had to do with oral sex....

The tiny nubs, rounded tip, and thin flaps on the sides may look awkward and dull, but add some lube and the vibrations and you will have a winning combination. The Buddy is a great oral stimulator for women, when lubed properly and used in a 'licking' motion. The small nubs stimulate like the fleshy part of the tongue, while the flaps rub the labia like the sides of a tongue. Get the vibrations in on the fun and the clitoral stimulation will send you over the top.

Men will also enjoy the flicking of the sides under the frenulum, along the shaft, and around the testicles. The nubs add a slight texture to make this feel more like a tongue and less like a toy. Add a bit of vibration and off he goes, too.

This was fun for using as a couple. It can stimulate the external anal area, lower vulva and testicles while performing oral sex with your mouth. Nipples, beware: it will perk them right up as well! Use this as a sensory teaser and then move in for the grand finale.

The material is TPR, which rates and 8 on the EdenFantasys safety scale. TPR is semi-porous and should not be shared. The sleeve is very soft, flexible and has a pleasing and realistic amount of drag against your skin. For maximum pleasure, lube up with water based lubricant and enjoy the slick, soft, texture of this little sleeve. Add the bullet, which is hard, smooth plastic, for more intense vibrations and really enjoy the sensations.

There was a slight aroma of rubbery plastic, but I had to hold it right up to my nose to notice. This smell went away immediately upon washing, and there was no taste to the sleeve.

This is a great texture for beginners to advanced users and will complete your collection. Use it as a teaser or a pleaser and make sure you explore all your external options. This is not meant to be inserted in any way.

The sleeve is 1 3/4" long and 1 5/8" wide, and is 3/4" deep. The unstretched hole of the sleeve is 1/2", but it will stretch to about 1 1/2". The side flaps are 1/16" thick and 1/4" wide. The bullet measures 1/2" diameter by 2 1/2" long.

There is a series of small, soft nubs on the front and back rounded part of the sleeve that does stimulate your genitals. They are very light, but many (25). The flaps on the side carry the vibrations fairly well and can be pleasantly stimulating when used as a teaser.The material is very thin and stretchy, allowing for different movements and stimulations. You can use this with a bullet or with your finger for more mild, teasing effects. I would definitely not recommend putting this on your tongue: it would either slip off or be very constricting.

The Oral Sex Buddy is very small and easily hidden, making this a great travel toy. Stash it in a purse, pocket or other small container and you have a toy to go. Just remember to grab some lube for maximum pleasure!

The bullet has 7 varieties of vibration, all accessible with a push of the button. The button is located on the bottom, and you do need to cycle through: there is no memory after you turn it off. To purposefully turn the bullet off, however, you do need to push and hold the button in for about 3 seconds.

This is a nicely powerful bullet that is also very quiet. This would be a great one to use in roommate situations or when you are worried about being heard. It does take 3 LR44 watch batteries, included with your purchase, and seems to be pretty good about minimal battery usage. I have used mine approximately 2 1/2 hours without a dip in power.

Vibration Patterns: 1. Low steady vibrations - 2. Medium steady vibrations - 3. High steady vibrations - 4. Hard pulses - 5. Gradual build up and fade - 6. Pulses with varying degrees - 7. Low to high pulse.

Wash the sleeve thoroughly in warm, soapy water. Rinse this very well and let it air dry to prevent lint from attaching to the material. I use a very fine baby's toothbrush to gently scrub the textured areas.

The bullet can also be washed in the same manner, but can be dried with a cloth. Make sure the sleeve and bullet are completely dry before placing the bullet back into the sleeve.

Store these in the original fold-over packaging or in a zip lock bag. It is best to keep the TPR separate from your other toys to prevent discoloration and breakdown of materials. Use water based lube for easy cleaning, or silicone when you use this in the water.
