REVIEW #16
Natural Contours Liberte Vibrator
Some of the more illustrious members of Dr Dick’s Product Review Crew showed up for a little confab on the beautiful line of Natural Contours products I have for review. The usual suspects were there — Joy, Gina, Angie and Jada. Surprisingly, Ken and Glenn also joined us. In fact it was Ken who christened us The Ladies Auxiliary. Maybe it was the wine, but we all got a kick out of that. So the name stuck. Political correctness be damned!
As we passed around the products to be reviewed the women were discussing size, shape, design and functionality of the five products I have for review. The Natural Contours line of products is designed by women and made with natural curves to contour to their bodies. They are tasteful, elegant, discreet, stylish and ergonomic.
The boys were feeling totally left out. Glenn finally spoke up; “What are we, chopped liver? I don’t see why any one of these things couldn’t be used by a guy.” Ken nodded his head in agreement. I added: “A lot of ‘female oriented products’ are used by men. In fact, if some of the packaging for these products were a bit more generic, there’d probably be a whole lot more cross-over marketing and purchasing being done.”
The women thought the packaging for the Natural Contours line was pretty neutral; as compared to some “female oriented products” they’ve seen. But there’s no mistaking the feminine slant. None of women present were put off by the suggestion that the men folk might enjoy Natural Contours products too. Jada asked; “But what about the G-Plus Attachment? Men don’t have a G-Spot.” Gina, who is now very familiar with her BF’s butt play said: “Yeah, but they do have a P-Spot. And Ken added; “And we all have a PC muscle so the Energie could be used by everyone!”
I am so proud of my Review Crew. They are such a clever lot. We distributed the products and set a date for our debriefing session. I convened the follow up meeting of The Ladies Auxiliary a couple of weeks later to discuss our findings.
Natural Contours Liberte Vibrator $29.70
Angie:
I love the shape, size and feel. Even the color is perfect in my estimation. I was very impressed with the stylish packaging. I thought the price was right too. So many toys these days are prohibitively expensive.
The Liberte is very smooth, lightweight and fits comfortably in my hand. It has an easy to manipulate control button. The one button runs through the vibe speeds starting at high-speed. Here’s one thing I didn’t understand. Wouldn’t it have been better to have the vibrator start on a slower speed first and then progress to higher speeds instead of the other way around?
Anyhow, you have to toggle through all the speeds — high, medium, low and pulse — to get to off. This took some getting used to.
When I was by myself, I preferred the pulse action. Oh, and its really quiet.
I introduced the Liberte to my husband. We discovered it to be a very nice addition to our playtime together. I think my husband warmed to it more easily because it doesn’t have that traditional dildo “penis shape.” But he’s such a mechanic he was immediately frustrated with the one button control design. I had to gently remind him that he wasn’t in the machine shop now, but in the bedroom. So I asked him to please just let go of all that for now.
Overall, I was very impressed with this toy and would recommend it to anyone wanting a sleek, nontraditional looking vibrator.
Natural Contours Energie Kegel Exerciser
Natural Contours Energie Kegel Exerciser $49.95
Joy and Glenn
Joy: “Glenn and I decided to team up on this review since we are both so passionate about Kegel exercises.”
Glenn: “Yeah, we want everyone to work their PC (pubococcygeus muscle) for happier, healthier fucking!”
Joy: “The Energie Kegel Exerciser is a ergonomically shaped weighted barbell sorta deal that you insert into your 
pussy or butt (or both if you’re lucky enough to be a woman) to strengthen your PC muscles. You lie on your back, lubricate the Energie, and insert. You can use either water-based or my favorite — silicone-based lube. Once you have it in your vagina, you simply do your Kegels muscle contraction and relaxation exercises like usual, but the results are more dramatic. It’s like takin’ your pussy to the gym!”
Glenn: “Totally! The same is true for Kegel training in your ass. When I was finally able to wrestle the Energie away from Joy for my night with this beauty, I loved it. It’s heftier than other toys I’ve used for this purpose, just over 14 oz. So the workout was great.
I found I needed to put a cushion under my hips to raise my ass off the floor to use the Energie effectively. Ya see, ya have to let gravity do its thing. I mean if half the weight is on the floor, it’s not gonna work your PC muscles to its full potential.”
Joy: “I agree! When I had a chance to use it anally, I also used a couple of pillows. One word of caution; you do have to be careful that you don’t insert the Energie too far up your butt. It’s not likely that you will, because of the weight. And it is, after all, 6 1/2″ long x 1 1/4″ thick at its widest point. It’s also flared at both ends. But this thing is not like a traditional butt plug; it doesn’t have an actual notch in it for your sphincter to close on to for keeping it in place.”
Glenn: “Good point!
I also want to say that the Energie felt fantastic on my prostate. It’s like getting a prostate massage while you are working your PC muscle. You can’t beat that!”
Joy: “You can if you’re a gurrl! When I was using the Energie vaginally it was doing a real number on my G-spot.
I want to make sure that all women, especially postpartum or post-menopausal women know about this amazing exerciser. It will revolutionize their sex life, I promise.
The Energie is easy to keep clean, mild soap and warm water will do. You can also sterilize it (before sharing) by dropping it into boiling water for minute or two. And it comes in a really nice storage case.”
Natural Contours Jolie
Natural Contours Waterproof Jolie $16.95
Gina
I think you call this a “lipstick” vibe. (Now that I’m an official member of Dr Dick’s Dr Dick’s Product Review Crew, I figured I would learn some of the industry lingo.) I think they call it that, because it’s not much larger than a lipstick. But it does have a nice kick to it when the batteries are fresh.
The Jolie only has the one speed, but what do ya want for under $20, right?
I was particularly interested in it being waterproof. I love using a vibrator in my bath.
I found that it was hard to turn on/off, particularly with wet or soapy hands. I chalked this up to it needing to be watertight. Here’s something to be aware of — the on/off switch also functions as the cap for changing out the batteries. If you inadvertently turn the cap the wrong way the top pops off instead of turning the thing on. Directions are printed on the thing, but who pays attention to that when it’s playtime? 😉
The Jolie is pretty quiet for as powerful as it is. One Saturday afternoon I decided to slip the vibe into the crotch of my jeans. I figured, what the heck; let’s have a good time while we pick up the apartment. I got so turned on I attacked my napping boyfriend, Kevin (REVIEW #13). He was like, “What’s up with you?” When I showed him my little buddy, he was all like, “Awesome! Here, let me do it.” It was wonderful just letting him pleasure me with it.
You know how we were talking a couple of weeks ago about men using these vibes themselves? Well, I asked Kevin what he thought. He said the Jolie would be great for external use around his testicles and whatnot, but defiantly not for use in his butt. The Jolie is just too small for that. It could easily slip inside and get stuck.

Jada
I was so delighted to be chosen to do this review. I’ve been the proud owner of a Hitachi Magic Wand for over 10 years. It has been my personal favorite for all that time. I was eager for an opportunity to compare the Natural Contours Ideal Vibrator with the one I’ve loved so much for so long.
Both vibrators are the hand held type with a flexible spring ball head. Each has the same oscillating movement. The Ideal Vibrator is not as quite as the Hitachi, but it is as powerful on both speeds. The Ideal is lighter than the Hitachi model I have. I like that a lot.
The thing I like the most about the Ideal is always ready to go and there is no cord to tangle with. I can’t tell you how much I love that. is that is cordless. It doesn’t run on batteries either. It’s rechargeable. I know this may sound petty, but there have been plenty of times in the past when I probably would have used my trusty Hitachi Magic Wand on the spare of the moment. But I wound up putting it off, because I didn’t want to move furniture to plug it in or deal with an extension cord. Now I’ll never have to postpone my pleasure, because the
The Natural Contours Ideal Vibrator is head and shoulders above the Hitachi in terms of its design too. It’s really very pretty and much more elegant than the Hitachi. The grip on the Ideal fits naturally in my hand. It’s as comfortable in my right hand as it is in my left.
Natural Contours Ideal Vibrator is my brand new favorite.
Natural Contours Ideal G-Plus Attachment $16.95
Jada
I feel as though I’ve fallen into a pot of jam. The one thing I always thought was lacking in my wand vibrator is that it was for external use only. Now with this inexpensive Natural Contours Ideal G-Plus Attachment I can change all that.It’s so simple and practical; I can’t believe no one thought of this before now. The attachment fits on either my
Hitachi wand or my new Natural Contours Ideal Vibrator. It has two prongs for G-spot and clitoral stimulation. It is beautifully flexible and yet it is latex-free. (I am allergic to latex.) And I’m delighted to learn that it is also phthalate-free. (Thanks to Dr Dick, I’m becoming a more discerning, conscientious and health wise consumer.)
One last thing, I was struck by something Angie said about her husband’s response to her vibrators. She said something like he is less put off by the Liberte because it didn’t have a “penis shape.” I never realized that my husband had similar reservations. He’s never said anything, but he only likes using my Hitachi wand on me, none of my other insertables. But now with this G-Plus Attachment I get the best of both worlds — external and internal stimulation — and my husband likes it just fine.
