Yes, I did it. I accepted a review for a sex toy. For the record, I picked one that has two uses. One is, of course, to stimulate your erogenous zone. The other is for muscle relaxation. I don’t need help with the first, my husband can take care of that. What I needed it for was for muscle relaxation.
I spend the day on a roller coaster ride. I juggle doctor and therapy appointments. I have to be mom, therapist, and teacher for my son. It’s summer, so I also have to entertain my daughter during the day, too. By the time evening comes around, I am stressed out and exhausted. I want to sleep, but I can’t. I have too many things going on in my head. I think about everything that happened during the day. I think about what I need to do the next day, and the next day. I can’t relax in order to fall asleep. AND, I have a hard time relaxing in order to be with my husband.
He understands and is very good at helping me relax. It takes time, but he doesn’t mind. Nice, long back rubs with massage oils is great for helping me relax. So when I saw that the Aphrodite can be used for muscle relaxation, I decided that it was the one I wanted to review.
The first thing I needed to do was charge it. It requires a 12 hour charge, and you get 1 hour of use from it. At least, that’s what the instruction sheet says. I haven’t used it for a solid hour, so I can’t attest to that. Once charged, it’s good to go.
The Aphrodite comes with 3 attachments. I picked one and used it on my husband. He has really tight muscles in his back, and I was wondering if this would help. He said it felt nice, but it didn’t get deep into his muscles. Then it was my turn.
I turned over and he used it on my back. Where I had it set on high for my husband, he turned it down to low for me. The vibrations that went through my skin and into my muscles were heaven. I immediately felt my muscles relaxing. Then my husband decided to see how good the other use was. I’m not going to go into details, but it was awesome.
Later, we went back and tried the high setting on my back. It really helped the one area on my lower back that gives me the most pain, because the muscles are so tight. The Aphrodite is regularly $74.95, but is on sale right now for $59.95. For a product that can help you relax and feel better, I think it is worth it.
