For months now, I’ve had a pair of Wickedly Delicious sex toys that attach to the vacuum cleaner, waiting to be tested. I am not sure why I’ve put it off, although for the first two weeks my Oreck was in the shop and then I was out of town for almost a month. I know I should have jumped right on it and posted a review, you know, to be First! with a Scoop!
But when I’ve had time and privacy to try them, I haven’t been in the mood. Not just for the WD, but for anything. I’m anxious to try them, I want to know what it’s all about … and yet … there they sit on the kitchen counter, in sparkly pouches, beautiful colors peeking through.
Now Love Honey carries them or something just like them (here NSFW) so I’m no longer First (not that I care about that; this is not a newsroom, in case you haven’t noticed, and I refuse to stress about competing with the entire blogosphere for a “scoop” unless I’m being paid to do so, heh). But what’s gonna be fun is seeing all the puns on “suck” that the reviewers come up with.
Meanwhile, I’ll make a date with mine soon. Having recently tried the eroscillator I think my interest in such things is returning.

Not to be Debbie downer, but you’d think the noise would be an issue. Quiet toys give way for auditory cues to be experienced. However, solo play doesn’t require as much auditory stimulation unless you can’t hear the porn you’ve got playing.

Thank you for noticing GinaLynn
Yes, the noise is a problem with a vacuum – you can hear how much of a problem on our video – http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/sex-toys-tv/player.cfm?videoid=174
I don’t think anyone’s pretending that a vacuum-powered sex toy is ever going to be quiet, but it’s certainly going to be different.

Since it is an attachment rather then a full device, it probably wouldn’t be too hard to hook to any silent vacuum generator (in labs “silent” is a big selling point in air/vacuum pumps). A more homebrew option might be to simply put the vacuum cleaner itself in a different room and extend the hose and possibly on/off – garage sales are packed with old vacuums ready to slaughter which would probably work once the filter/bag comes off.
Not perhaps for the casual user, but to those for whom it becomes a favorite and a staple item in the toy chest it sure seems like a solvable problem tech wise. At the very least, having quiet vacuum out of the wall would sure catch some geek points for effort..

Regina, Vortex have confirmed to us that the WickedlyDelicious site is theirs, so the product that you have is the same as the one on LoveHoney…
