3 Sexy Last Minute Halloween Costumes

October 19, 2018 by Velvet Box

Did you know that halloween is just over a week away? With the days counting down until All Hallows Eve, our inboxes are filled with last minute costume party invites, costumed bar crawls and date night plans. But since I originally planned on having a night of scary movies and pizza, I have no costume prepared. And I know i’m not alone in this! So, I put together 3 last minute costumes, that are sexy as hell!

Black Swan

This gorgeous Dreamgirl teddy is perfect for an ultra sexy, super stressed out, possibly insane ballet dancer. Just pair with a tulle skirt, ballet flats and crown. There are several incredible tutorials on how to perfectly recreate this makeup on youtube. You could also throw on a pair of black wings with this look and be a dark angel.

Queen Of Hearts

“OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!” Heads will roll when you show up in this incredibly hot get up. Our Dreamgirl velour teddy paired with any black skirt and the perfect red heels will have everyone painting the roses red for you. And as far as makeup looks go there are some killer ones! Bonus points if you add any nod to playing cards in your ensemble. You could also change that crown for a halo and add some wings and be Cupid.

Sultry Caped Crusader

This is my personal favorite. When I saw this image of this Teddy and Cape set from Allure, the first thing I thought was, “If Batwoman wore lingerie this is what it would look like.” So, I had to include this set in this post. Add a mask, gloves and the boldest lip ever and you’re almost ready to save the day. This belt-bag makes the perfect utility belt to hold your ID & phone so no need to carry that purse. This is not for the faint of heart. However, we do have another full glitter teddy by Allure that provides a bit more coverage.

We have lingerie for all shapes and sizes of beautiful bodies from XS – 4X! Stop in to any of our 5 locations and look at our selection and with a little creativity our team can help you come up with a sexy last minute costume.

10 Staff Favorites Under $100

August 8, 2018 by Velvet Box

Generally speaking, with sex toys, the phrase ‘You get what you pay for.’ is applicable. That $10 bullet from china that you got online, will most likely die at the most inopportune time, if it worked at all. The world of adult toys can be overwhelming. What works? What doesn’t? Were those reviews paid for? Is it a knock-off? Why is that vibrator $400!? These are all valid doubts you may have when purchasing a toy online. And while we do have several favorites in the $100-$200 range, there are quite a few new staff favorites that are well under the $100 mark. So, we narrowed it down to 10 of our staff’s favorite affordable hidden gems. This way you can get one, or build an entire bed side collection without breaking the bank.

1. Exposed Bullet $49.99 – Is it just me or do these look like the prettiest shades of lipstick that ever existed? I admit, that it was the sole reason I initially wanted to test one. However, when I took it out of the box I was truly in shock. The power was insane, even on the low setting! It truly out powers some of the higher end bullets on the market.

2. Jimmy Jane Massage Candles $29.99 – A candle that melts in to warm massage oil, that doesn’t leave you feeling sticky and gross. 2 years ago I wrote this article on these babies and our customers’ obsession with them. That obsession has only grown! Pro Tip – Let this burn while you’re in the shower and pour it on freshly shaven areas for an amazing moisturizer!

3. Pocket Pulse $89.99 – A powerful dual motored pocket stroker and the portable version of the world’s first Guybrator. The oscillating discs, give a completely unique experience unlike any other men’s toys on the market. Make waves when you try it under water.

4. Under-bed Restraint Kit $64.99 – No need to damage a bed post or put in a red room to be tied up with this kit. The weight of the mattress holds these straps in place for some incredible fun. This kit includes two pair of ankle/wrist cuffs and can be tucked under the mattress when not in use. This is the most versatile thing on the list, as this enhances the experience of everything else. Pro Tip – Pair this with a blindfold and a massage candle for an insanely good time.

5. Womanizer Starlet $89.99 – Will there ever be a time when we are not raving about the Womanizer toys? Probably not. These toys changed the game and we talked all about that here and here. The Starlet is the Womanizer Pro’s sweet little sister. She only has 4 functions instead of 11 and fits right in the palm of your hand. Available in 3 colors this baby is perfect to throw in your bag for a sleepover.

6. BlewIt! $74.99 – The first version of this baby sold out so fast it made our heads spin. So of course when version 2 came out, with more intense suction and faster drying time, we ordered triple the amount and sold out again. This affordable male masturbator is beautiful on the outside and an intense blow job party on the inside. You can also use your Blewit! as a phenomenal stamina trainer, to help you learn to last longer.

7. Red Hot Spark $79.99 – I mean… did you see that video? What else can I say about this? There are several insanely powerful flickering modes to drive you over the edge again and again. Furthermore, it makes a fantastic bathtub toy, as it is completely submergible.

8. Mini Plug $54.99 – $89.99 – The Mini Plug is a perfectly petite, yet super powerful anal plug, great for beginners and experts a like. It has 20 vibrating functions and a rocker base that fits snuggly between the cheeks. Available with remote so that you can change the setting without having to be an expert level yoga master.

9. My Secret Remote Controlled Vibrating Panty $74.99 – First of all, as powerful as this little guy is, whatever the secret is, it won’t be staying secret much longer. Super-powered and remote controlled with a discreet ring style controller, it’s sure to make your night out a lot more interesting. If worn to the movies, I recommend pairing with a ball gag to muffle the moans as not to disrupt other movie goers. Screaming 0 has an entire line of incredible rechargeable yet affordable toys.

10. Pivot $99.99 – Screeching in right under that $100 mark, is the Pivot by We-Vibe. Frankly, with it’s super rumbly motor, recharge-ability and app capability that lets you control it near or far, we are surprised it was affordable enough to make this list at all. This has been highly reviewed by several staff members and their partners. Finally, our customers are also a huge fan of the app’s ability to control the toy even from a separate country.

This is a small sampling of the amazing and affordable toy options here at Velvet Box. Come in and check out some of the other staff favorites. Pick them up, feel them and take few home. Start a sexy time kit, or just re-vamp a stale one. Whatever spice your looking for, we’ve got something for you.

June’s New & Naughty

June 19, 2018 by Velvet Box

Its June in Texas and with that brings some hot hot heat. So we thought we would stick with that theme and bring you some hot hot new items. I narrowed it down to these four stand out items. You will not be disappointed if you get one or all four.

Let’s start this off with something delicious and yummy. Handi Pop by Sensuva is a perfect for giving him an extra slippery rub down. Because all the flavors taste like dessert, you can and should lick it like your favorite lollipop.

Guys is you are looking to treat your self, might I suggest the Zeppelin by Zolo? With it’s spinning beads, massaging texture, soft lips and sleek design the Zeppelin is already flying off the shelves and shows no sign of slowing down.

You’ve heard of the original Come Hither Rabbit right? NO? Here go read this, I’ll wait. *Whistles* If you read that, then you know that this toy does what we have been trying to get men to do for years, it moves in a come hither motion. So as the name suggests this is just a larger version of the same glorious thing.

Next we are bringing back an oldie but a goodie. First of all this lubricant maybe one of the most popular lubes on the market for male masturbation and male masturbation toys. This lube provides a layer of slickness second to none and therefore is the perfect way to lubricate your weapon. (wink wink)

April 19, 2018 by Velvet Box

There are so many new and naughty things this month at Velvet Box. Literally new things in every category. So without further adieu let’s just jump right in!

1. First of all, the new line of lingerie from coquette is to DIE FOR! There were so many incredibly sexy options that we had a hard time picking, so naturally, we just BOUGHT IT ALL! There are gorgeous styles and flattering cuts in every size and color. Pieces that can even be transitioned to a sexy look outside of the bedroom.

2. For the very naughty, we have brought in some amazing pieces from Doc Johnson’s Kink line. There are pumps, paddles and a MACHINE! You read that right. A machine, and the reviews are amazing! We also brought in some super soft waterproof sheets and throws that pair perfectly with any of your BDSM or toys.

3. If you’re looking to simulate the perfect blow job, seems like the BlowPro by Zolo is up for the challenge. This toy has 3 intense pleasure stroking modes with dynamic inner massage beads all in an ultra-realistic feeling chamber. Consequently, this thing is already selling out and we can understand why!These are just a few of the many hot new items that have hit our shelves (and our end table drawers) this month. Before I go, who wants a sneak peek of an exciting new item coming very very soon?

4. Tired of vibration and looking for something entirely different? The Zumio is a mind-blowing, earth shattering, ground breaking new product. This little guy is here for pinpoint stimulation for the clitoris. We were unsure about this newness so we tested it out. And here’s what I have to say about it.

“This is mouth open, toes curling, forget your name, grip the sheets, kind of good!”

So do yourself a favor and watch our social media for the day this hits shelves. I don’t throw this phrase around lightly, but, Zumio is a must have!

Kegel Balls: Change Your Life In A Week!

April 12, 2018 by Velvet Box

Kegel balls? Ben wa balls? Duo-tone balls? Vibrating? Non-vibrating? Glass? Stainless? And all of these options come in different sizes and weights. This can be completely overwhelming, especially for a beginner. Have no fear, we are here with a super easy guide to help you pick out the right set for you.

There are plenty of common misconceptions about kegel balls. Here are a few of our faves.

“When I first saw Ben Wa balls, I thought they were strictly for butt play.” – Ali

“When I was younger I always wondered if they made noises. Not clicky noises, but like…gong noises when they touched.” – Alicia

“I thought they were just for kinky people. Like you only owned a set if you also owned a gimp mask or something.” – Chandra

So what do kegel balls even do? Kegel balls are small weighted balls that help build up your pelvic floor muscles. This can help with urinary incontinence, that’s right ladies, no more crossing your legs when you sneeze, in the fear of the trickle! It can also make you tighter, it can make your orgasms stronger!

Why use kegel balls instead of just doing regular old kegel exercises? The difference between regular kegels and using kegel balls, is like the difference between power walking around the mall and running a 5K with a trainer, if that trainer was The Rock and the 5K was through mud… in the rain.

How long until I see results? Everyone’s body is different. However, if you use the kegel balls as instructed, you and your partner could feel a difference in a week!

What kind is the best to start with? My recommendation is that you start with a progressive set. A set that has 3-5 balls all of different weights, such as the She Ology Set seen above. Don’t even look at those tiny metal balls. Those are for advanced players as they are much smaller and harder to hold on to. The last thing you want is it to slip out, hit the ground and roll away. Because there you are scurrying across the lobby trying to catch your “magic vagina ball” in front of the all your co-worker, your boss and the hot UberEats guy. Believe us, there are many horror stories. So to avoid an Indiana Jones style situation, maybe go for a larger set.

How do I use these?

Use the restroom
Before using the kegel ball(s) make sure to clean them thoroughly with toy cleaner.
Apply lubricant to the kegel ball(s) and insert one ball at a time. This will feel similar to inserting a tampon. If you are having trouble try lifting one leg up or lying on your back to insert.
Squeeze leg muscles together and then your PC muscles to hold the balls in place. The balls should push down a little bit inside the vaginal canal.
Hold the balls inside for as long as possible (minimum 15minutes). Your body is naturally fighting to keep these in. So you are doing kegels without much thought.
If the balls slip out, wash them well with toy cleaner, apply lubricant and insert again.
There are several ways to remove kegel balls including: Jumping up and down, cough, sit and push or just use your fingers and fish them out. If you are worried about this, try getting a set with a retrieval cord.

How long should I wear them? Women are supposed to be doing kegels every single day 3 sets of 10, 3 times a day. No one is doing that. We get busy we forget. So we have kegel balls to cut that time in 1/2. To begin, wear them while you’re getting dressed in the morning (approx. 30 mins) 3-5 times a week. When you start to become more comfortable and feel that they are more secure, wear them out. Go to work, go shopping, out on a date and if you’re really brave wear them to the gym. Your body is fighting to keep them in, which means you’re doing kegels the whole time! Think of this like going to the gym for your vagina. Eventually you’ll become a pro and your lady bits will be juggling those things!

So I saw that guy use them in 50 Shades, what’s that about? Once you feel secure enough to wear them out and about, you can and should wear them out on a date. Every time you sit, stand, every time he makes you laugh they move inside you. This can make for a big build up of antici…

What is better, vibrating or non? The answer to this question is pretty straight forward. YES. Yes to both. There are progressive weighted ones on each side of the isle. There are even app controlled kegel toys, where you are basically playing a game on your phone and strengthening your vagina AT THE SAME TIME! What a world. For app enabled options check out the We-Vibe Bloom.

So in short, every woman needs a set or two of kegel balls. Stop by and let one of sex toy gurus help you pick out your perfect set.
