I recently recruited my girlfriend to help review all three formula’s of Jimmy Jane’s massage lotion. Since I’ve supported her career for the past seven years, I thought it was only fair that she do the same for me.
She agreed and I explained to her that, in my professional opinion, the only real way to fairly review these products would be to receive extensive massages on consecutive nights with each product. She bought it hook, line and sinker.
First up, let me tell you a little about the Beyond line of massage lotion. If you’re someone who always checks the ingredient list before you buy a product like this, you’re going to be very happy. Beyond lotions are glycerin-free, paraben-free and take advantage of natural ingredients instead of synthetic ones. Many of you will be pleased to hear that they also never test their products on animals.
I can also say that all three left my skin feeling amazing. There’s no oily residue at all, just a silky softness I seek out and often don’t find. They leave my skin feeling hydrated and nourished – in fact I’ve used it as a moisturizer for my legs a couple of times and loved the results.
Since there are three versions of this lotion, it’s best to speak of each a little individually also. First up is Beyond Cooling, the formulation I’ve found myself reaching for the most often. Since it’s summer, I suppose it makes sense that I’m in love with the cooling version, but there’s more than that to it. What really sets this one apart for me is the combination of the cooling effect of the Organic Willamette Peppermint Oil and Cucumber Extract with the amazing scent. I don’t like to be overwhelmed by scented products and fell in love with the light cucumber and mint smell radiating from skin. I kind of want to drink it.
Regarding the cooling aspect of the product, it’s there and it’s nice, especially on a hot summer night as the breeze rolls in from an open window. It’s definitely not an overwhelming sensation, but I suspect that would take more chemicals than I prefer to expose my body to. Or ice.
Next up is Beyond Warming – guess what it does! Besides the obvious, the big difference for me is in how it smells. It’s spicy, more noticeable and reminds me of drinking a warm mug of chai in winter. According to the company, it’s natural warming extracts that cause the light sensation of heat. Again, it’s not going to set you on fire like Bengay, but it totally adds to the massage. I suspect I’ll like it even more once fall comes along.
Finally, we’ve got Beyond Euphoric, which relies on natural plant extracts to release Beta-Endorphins (whatever those are) and to promote relaxation. Any time I’m getting a massage, I’m pretty freaking relaxed, so I can’t really vouch for that, but I can say it’s another fine lotion. There’s a light citrus scent that I really love and I’m not sure if I’m making this up, but I feel like my skin is just a touch softer after using this than the other two. I should point out that they all leave your skin feeling awesome!
If I had to complain about something I’d say that this lotion isn’t great for super long massages. I have a couple of really good massage oils that don’t leave my girl feeling sticky and rub in nicely, but it takes time. Sometimes the slickness of an oil is a lot more fun that lotion. However, that’s really just me grasping for straws. This stuff rocks and I highly recommend it.
I would struggle if forced to pick out a favorite and think I’ll leave that decision up to you. Each offers something a little different, but all three are great and I really don’t think you can go wrong with any of the Jimmy Jane Beyond Lotions.
ps. They’re totally on sale right now over at babeland.com. I have no clue how long this will last, but I just had to say something!

I popped my edible massage lotion cherry. Wild Cherry, I should say, and it was delicious. Wild Cherry Body Butter is smooth, hydrating, and above all, tasty. I’m not sure who enjoyed it more! Licking or being licked clean – this treat is an all around win-win.
While Body Butter is primarily a massage lotion (and what a massage lotion it is!), I just had to incorporate this Wild Cherry delight into my favorite frisky activity: Oral Sex! I am very generous when it comes to using my mouth and there is nothing I like more than hearing my partner’s moans and knowing that all the pleasure is my doing.
I spread a very small amount of the Body Butter on my partner and massaged it in. The cherry smell was nice and subtle, not overwhelming at all. The taste was just enough to put me in the mood to devour my lover, instead of just a tongue moving ritual. Yum. The idea of treating external genitalia like a gourmet meal is heavenly (and that’s only where you should use this when it comes to genitals – mixing it with your vagina is a yeast infection waiting to happen). Body Butt is definitely a fun, and scrumptious, way to add a little spice to your oral sex life. Between this and my Chocolate Lovers Paintbox, I swear I’ve gained 14 pounds!

Every now and again it’s great to take a break from the wham-bam sex toy reviews and check out something a bit more intimate and sensual. So I was pretty eager to try out the new Massage balm by Intimate Organics. Ready for an adventure, I picked the Energizing Fresh Oranges and Wild Ginger flavor and went to town – literally.
The first time I got a chance to try this Massage Balm, I was running late out the door for a day that would include meeting my boyfriend’s mother and I forgot to put lotion on in my haste getting dressed. With a four alarm ashy knees crisis on my hands, I reached for the nearest moisturizer, which just happened to be this massage balm. Straight out of its tube the massage balm looks more like a homemade ointment rather than a lotion or its fancy expensive counterpart, a balm. It starts out translucent and relatively solid but quickly melts, faster than any ointment or lotion I’ve seen before, when you rub it between your palms. It’s also heftier on the palm than your average massage oil, staying put rather than running between your fingers and onto the bed, floor or your partner.

Happy Humpday! Welcome back to the mid-week stretch. It finally stopped downpouring here and I know I, for one, could not be happier about that. Unfortunately this is the only nice day until Saturday, so I know I have to make this Link Love extra amazing to get us (or at least me) through ’til the next sunny day. Good thing I journeyed to the end of the internet to search out as many hot links as I could find. What can I say, I take my Humpday responsibilities very seriously. Alright, let’s get to it!
- Birds do it, bees do it… and even the littlest bug do it! Sundance’s Green Porno helped us get all the details, but now see the actual insects gettin’ busy. Not all that far off from us really. (via WorldSexNews)
- Jezebel asks the age old question: What internet search doesn’t bring up porn these days? “Floral china patterns” and “puppies” top the list. Guess they Google forgot to list this in their results. Sigh, my faith in the Goog is dwindling.
- If I really needed ANOTHER reason to covet the iPhone, now you can ‘massage yourself’ with four different vibration patterns! At least I can send picture texts. Who’s jealous now, huh? (via Babeland Blog)

Let me begin with a confession – I did not get this personal massager with the intention of using it to get off. That probably sounds weird, and I’ve totally put it down my pants, but I was really intrigued by the thought of a nice, heated shoulder massage. Don’t judge me.
Before you read any further, if you’re looking for a super powered “massager” to bring you to mind blowing orgasm, stop reading and go buy the Hitachi Magic Wand.
This Infrared Rechargeable Massager from Cal Exotics can’t compete with the Hitachi. Really, and I’m sure millions of women across the world will agree with me – nothing can compete with the power of the Hitachi. However, if you’re looking for something else like I was, it is pretty good for working out kinks and winding down after a long stressful day.
One really cool thing about this massager is that it’s rechargeable. Because of this you don’t need to worry about tracking down D batteries or stringing a cord across your living room – just grab it and go to town on tension. To be honest, the charge only claims to last for about an hour, but in my opinion that’s plenty of time for a nice rub down.
I also found that the power of the vibration was perfect for a back massage. With two different speeds, you can start slow and work up to the higher level for a more intense session. This is also pretty handy if you get bored with your massage and end up getting frisky with your personal massager. Anyways, it’s powerful enough to work out any kinks, without making your teeth rattle and your head hurt.
It also comes with three attachable heads, which are OK, but I found that the wheel that is attached on one end works best. The good news is that you definitely have options with this one.
While it was the heating element that really caught my attention, I have to admit that I wasn’t very impressed with it. It gets warm, but not hot enough to add much to the situation for me. The heat really doesn’t penetrate your muscles deep enough to be a major selling point.
Overall this is a cheap massager that’s great for an after work rub down. It will totally get you off, but I could never recommend this over the Hitachi if that is your main objective!
Relax with the Infrared Rechargeable Massager from Edenfantasys.com!
