LELO reinvents the rabbit.

November 18th, 2009 by Lux Alptraum

cat_ina_orange_320_320The dual action–or “rabbit” vibrator–is probably one of the best known sex toys on the market. It’s also one of the most overrated. Most rabbit vibrators are cheaply made, using toxic materials, and running on weak motors that give out long before you’re done with them. But one company is about to change all that.

Swedish sex toy makers LELO have just announced the debut of the Ina, a dual action vibe that’s sleeker than your typical rabbit. Gone is the actual rabbit, the pouch of pearls, the jelly rubber, and even the double A batteries: the Ina is a rechargeable silicone toy that promises to have you going at it like, well, a rabbit.

I, for one, can’t wait to have one in my hot little hands.

Sometimes a girl (or boy) really can have too many toys–sex toys, that is. If your toy chest is overflowing with products you’ve no time to use, check out this inspirational page full of ideas for repurposed toys. Turn that buttplug into a door stopper, or use it to stop up your leaky sink. And did someone say cyberskin stroker beer cozy?

[Obligatory buzz kill: some of these ideas are, ahem, less than hygienic and perhaps better left to fantasy than reality. Really looking for something to do with your worn out toys? Be green and ship them to Florida for sex toy recycling.]

Historically, sex toys haven’t been known for their beautiful design (unless you’re partial to jelly rubber and molded plastic genitals)—but over the past few years, that’s begun to change. One company that’s been leading the charge for sex toys that are both beautiful to look at and fun to use is Lelo, a Sweden-based operation that creates “pleasure objects” for both men and women (or, in the company’s parlance, “femme” and “homme.”).

Take, for instance, the Gigi: a slight, beautiful vibrator that looks more like something you’d find at the Apple store than at your local porn shop. Though it’s powerful enough to rev any girl’s engine, its dainty design makes it look like some innocent objet d’art—which could be why Lelo’s toys are now being stocked by Walgreens.
