Need to Get Away? Grab a Calypso 2!

Have you ever felt like you just needed to get away for a bit? (It’s a silly question, and yes, rhetorical.) I know I have. And often, the urge is strongest when I can’t actually go anywhere. Or so I thought, until I met the Calypso 2 …

While the exact origins of Calypso are unclear, it seems that is derived from the Greek “to cover up.”[nbnote ]http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Calypso[/nbnote] I’m most familiar with the mythological figure of Calypso the nymph and her notable role in Homer’s Odyssey.

Calypso was a nymph, the daughter of the Titan Atlas. She lived on the island of Ogygia. After the last of Odysseus‘ men had perished at sea, Odysseus himself was washed ashore on Ogygia, where Calypso became enamored of him, taking him as her lover and promising him immortality if he would stay with her.

Odysseus refused her offer, wishing to return home to Ithaca and to his wife, Penelope. But Calypso refused to let him leave, and held him prisoner for seven years.

Finally Athena complained of Odysseus’ plight to Zeus, and Zeus sent Hermes to Ogygia to order Calypso to set Odysseus free. Calypso complied reluctantly, allowing Odysseus to construct a small boat and set sail from the island.[nbnote ]“Calypso.” Encyclopedia Mythica from Encyclopedia Mythica Online.

And yes, I maintain that sex toys are educational. Quite!

The Calypso 2, part of Cal Exotics’ Couture Collection falls into the category of feel-good sex toy. Looking at its curvy and ribbed body, along with the gorgeous designs on the controller, will make you feel good. Holding it will make you feel great. Using it will make you feel even better! (And no; we’re not going to talk about how it looks like a enormous sperm!)

Its “featherweight” controller really is quite light to hold, and such design makes the cord less cumbersome and awkward. The power and vibration buttons glow a soft neon red when the Calpyso 2 is turned on, making it ideal for use in the dark. Finally, a toy where you can actually find the controls!

There is lavender swirl detailing along the controller, and a tulip-shape encompasses the two buttons It’s a nice touch, especially if you tend to care about aesthetics, and if not, well, no harm done!

This wired bullet vibe is marketed as having 7 speeds. The first is a gentle vibration, and the second is noticeably stronger. The first time I jumped between them, I gasped. And my pussy’s juices started flowing much more freely. The third setting is stronger still, and another fairly good leap. It makes my hips undulate, and moans drift forth from between my parted lips.

The fourth setting marks the beginning of the Calypso 2′s patterns. It’s a soft flutter that escalates, and repeats. A rolling throbbing, perhaps mimicking the natural sensation in your clit? The fifth setting is your standard pulsing. It’s much stronger than the flutter, and provides you with short bursts of higher intensity vibration again and again and again.

Another push of the button, and the sixth setting pulses against your hungry flesh faster. The seventh setting is more a combination of six and four… with a quick pulse pulse pulse followed by a rolling vibration for two counts. Pressing the speed/setting button again will return you to the first setting.

It should be noted, however, that if you hit the power button by accident or in a fit of overstimulation, the speeds and vibration patterns will begin all over again when you turn the Calypso 2 back on.

Another plus? The body of the Calypso 2 is made of hypo-allergenic, pthalates-free silicone, and the toy is waterproof!

If you’re in the market for a sweet bullet vibe that packs a punch, check out the Calypso 2 at CalExotics. A whole new twist on the staycation!

With blissful pleasure,
Mistress Arabella aka your fav Top 100 CalExotics’ Sexpert!
