    Whoopsie - have you seen the insertions for the CGM (i'm assuming that's what you were talking about)? They're about the size of a nickle to a quarter - not too obtrusive and if you pop off the radio-transducer they're even less.

    Okay, this is JMO but Zestra is very interesting. It 'works' in that it has some sort of stimulating factor, moreso than just any old lubricant. It doesn't 'do anything' but certainly makes you know that you have 'something' down there. It's worth checking out IMO. Again, it doesn't necessarily give you anything but definitely makes you aware that you have something 'down there'! HTH?

    Zestra ingredients: borage seed oil, evening primrose oil, angelica extract, coleus extract, vitamin C, vitamin E. (from the box)

    You schmear it on and 'wait' 5 minutes or so and then you begin to 'feel' something. I think it's an enhancer but then I've only used it by myself.

    Linda, any mojo is better than no mojo! As the saying goes, any port in a storm!

    Hi ladies, what is Mr. Big?  Assuming he's a toy!

    I think in this second time around, we just need time.  We've been thru a war here.  The first time for me, I was terrified, looked like crap, etc., etc., and hubby after 7 monthsor so, just picked me up and took me to bed.  And that worked, must have been the cave man approach.

    This time is much, much harder, as I am still a work in progress and am dressing around that.  I just wish I felt pretty, as since I feel like I don't, I can't get my mojo working.   Which is stupid, bec. if we are lucky enough we will all get old and nice and pruney anyway.

    I'm going to go get my hair done and see what that does for me.  :).  This is one great thread and soooo helpful.

    Mr Big is a massager (not really called a vibrator but can be used as one)

    It is the Hitachi Magic Wand Massager.  I ordered mine from Amazon and it cost $37.29 and no shipping charge.  The box was wrapped in black plastic like it had some bad pics on it or something. HA  I did not understand why it was wrapped like that because the only pics on the box was of people using is for therapy!!!  Anyway, no one would know it was being used as a socks toy except you......WOW caveman approach.  I only see that in the movies. How romantic!!

    from the comments this sounds like a nice massager.  After my workout today I might even like this on spots you maybe didn't hit lol : - )

    Linda it's great to hear Mr Big brought back what you've been missing ; )

    Oh Linda....that is awesome news, though I had no doubt whatsoever that it would work for you! Seriously, I cannot imagine anyone with a few sexually responsive nerve endings NOT having an O from it. And its also wonderful that your husband enjoys including it in your lovemaking. Some men are threatened by vibrators because they think that we should be having orgasms from intercourse alone or better yet, a few jiggles or pokes from their fingers. Oy. Personally, oral sex works for me every time, but Mr. Big adds a new and exciting dimension!

    And BTW, rockwell_girl, Mr Big really IS a great massager! I get tension in my shoulders and it melts it away. And after an especially heavy back or glute workout, it feels heavenly. Of course, I can never resist going to ALL of the "needy" areas Wink!

    And Sam, my chica, its great to see you on board again! I hope that all is well with you..? I'm glad that you asked about Zestra and glad that Jay had input (oops!). If it has innocuous ingredients, I might try it! I'm guessing that it's like the warming stuff, but with a tingling sensation....kind of like those lip-plumping glosses Surprised. Oh my goodness...that gives me an idea Undecided Innocent Cool!

    Hiya Marin!

    Thanks for the welcome.I've been around .....mostly reading, not posting.(Actually I have become a bit paranoid about posting ever since I saw one of my posts on the wide open web - just type in your screen name and you will be horrified).

    Things are fine with me - mojo as good as ever......lots of input, haha.

    Am thinking maybe I will give the Zestra a whirl too.Might be an enjoyable experience.However, I notice on the site it says it should not be used for oral....now there's a thought!

    can anyone give me some advise on a 2nd toy

    I have H (Mr Big) but looking for something new

    On a thread way back I read about:

    my favorite handheld is still my Carribean baby...check it out if you wish. http://www.mypleasure.com/store/product.asp?cat=Search&dept_id=701&pf_id=0163

    I also stumbled across these...

    Hi raingirl...Maybe some of the other ladies here know more about dildos, but they're not especially appealing to me. I really love a good vibrator as an accompaniment to sex with my man, but the dildo thing leaves me cold (I'd rather have him inside me!). I also like dressing up and watching some porn occasionally. Erotic literature is another turn-on. Oh yeah, in the toy department, the cock rings with the tiny bullet vibrators are lots of fun! You might also check out The Liberator that we've been discussing.

    Have fun!!!

    Thanks Marin 

    I agree I would much rather have my man in me but sometime due to our schedule it's hard for us to get together and I was just looking for something new to use on my own.  I do have the amazing Hitachi Magic Wand Massager which I do enjoy very much : - )

    Ok ladies, here my situation.  I never had much sex drive before breast cancer.  I'm 5 mos out from chemo and 4 mos post b-lat mx w/ reconstruction, and the sex drive is starting to come back.  While I didn't have much drive before, we had AWESOME sex. 

    The two times we've done anything since chemo and surgery have been . . . . different.  DH says the consistency of my vaginal secretions has changed, not in a good way, so not as pleasurable for him.  I was always very orgasmic and am having the big O with oral sex now.  But I want it with intercourse!  Is that too much to ask?  LOL  As for me, I feel like a virgin again and I'm hoping that I'll stretch back out with practice.  Also, it just doesn't feel the same.  It feels like all my insides have sunk to the bottom of my abdomenal cavity and are getting slammed with each thrust.

    Please tell me it will just take some time and practice.  Or are there particular lubricants I should try?  I don't want to hang from the chandelier.  I just want it to feel good again, for the both of us.

    I should probably also add that I'm on Tamoxifen which I'm sure isn't helping matters.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Monica, you and I are in the same boat.  If anyone had told me that one day I'd be talking about this stuff on the internet, I'd have called them crazy!  Thank goodness, though, for this forum!

    Okay, I'm new coming over here and hoping for some help for me and my fabulous husband of 18 years.  Dry as the desert.  We are both sick of this problem.  The spontaneity is practically gone because we can't seem to just "go" like we used to.  For me, the mental desire is there, but the electricity "down there" is non-existent.  I used to enjoy regular O's with oral sex, and was really into "self help" in my younger adult years, but we never made that part of our sex life together.  Maybe that needs to change.

    Some basic questions:

    Will using a vib help me by "reawakening" things?  Does this help with dryness, also?  Does having an orgasm with a toy help you feel excited spontaneously again, later? Does the horniness come back?  That would be AWESOME!

    Then there's the problem of pain with penetration.  I'm anxious to try some of the lubricants that have been suggested.  I've done pretty well with KY liquibeads, but I think the shea butter would have a better consistency.  I think I also need to regularly stretch my vagina, like some of the ladies here.  

    So the big question is, what to buy??  A penetrating vib?  Or do I get one of each, a vibrator and a dildo or something to stretch me?  

    Can you guys please make a specific recommendation as to what type dildo you use for stretching?  I think the vibrator could be a fun toy for hubby and I to share, but the dildo would be more of a "medical tool".   Does a penetrating vib make for a better experience alone?

    Please help!  You guys are great,

    Susan

    I'm currently at work and (as always!) have plenty to say, but for now I'll just post this for Susan: http://www.gyneflex.com/vaginal_stretching.html I read about this, I think, in Oprah magazine, in an article about getting your groove back. The sex therapist being interviewed recommended Kegels and having regular orgasms with men or toys or however you can manage it. Stretching was also suggested and this exercizer recommended.

    Wowza!  I heard about this thread on another forum and came to see what was up...

    Lordy, I am only on Page 8 and my head is spinning with all of the information and all of the items I am going to need to order to try to find mojo.  If my DH catches wind of all of this, he will be waiting around for the UPS guy, like a kid in a candy store.  

    I lost my libido ten years ago with menopause at the age of 48, and I have been going through the motions for him - because I love him, but sometimes it is pure torture.  In part though, his libido has remained constant throughout our marriage and we are both the same age [58] and I thought THEIR libidos were supposed to dwindle a little. What's up with that, I ask?  I mean, I am two months status-post bilateral MAST, I have coconut-shell expanders on my chest, and he is hot on my trail like a hound dog. 

    But boy howdy, this is a fun thread.  Gotta go.  I have another 65 pages to read...

    LOL Whippet.....I thought  the same thing when I found it months ago.... hehe...

    What a great place though for women having issues to see that they are normal and to get some great ideas... I personally thought everyone used toys in the bedroom when they were married..hehe... I was able to see on this thread that the dryness of chemopause is normal..... made me feel better... I thought... this dryness is for the birds and I am NOT going to accept it at all.... came here..l got products ideas that work for others...

    Anywhooo.. I saw your reaction.. and had to say... boy howdy huh....:).....

    Love you gals!

    Well Estepp, it is that vaginal dryness issue which is indeed for the birds, as you say.  It is like the little shop of horrors down there, isn't it?  I do think that it would be nice to find something which really would address this issue. 

    Hey, did your Mondor's Cord resolve?

    Hi whippet and Laura!  Good to see you here.  It does seem that many of us are experiencing the same issues, doesn't it?  I need to take some time to read through the past 73 pages of posts and see if I can find some remedies.

    Okay, so I just ordered the Hitachi Magic Wand from Amazon.  There were 103 positive reviews - certainly more than the four-section dog food bowl I ordered from them recently [to keep my dog from snarfing down his food so fast.]  Poor guy - he hates that bowl.  But I think I'm gonna love my Hitachi.
