In honour of Earth Day, let’s take a look at a couple of eco-friendly dildo options from Babeland: the Octopussy and the Laid Stone.
Description: Whether you’ve got a thing for sea creatures or you just love the wonderful sensations of textured glass, the Octopussy Dildo is waiting for you. Two rows of smoothly textured nubs run along the shaft for extra sensation during penetration; the looped handle makes the Octopussy easy to hold and maneuver (perfect for G-spot stimulation). And of course, boilable Pyrex holds temperature beautifully — pop it in the fridge or a bowl of warm water, then add some lube and enjoy unparalleled slickness. Put this compact, weighty wonder to good use, and your deep-sea adventures are sure to yield some very pleasurable results.
Review: The Octopussy looks almost exactly like an octopus tentacle, which has irrevocably changed the way I feel about sea life in general. It’s not overly large or heavy, and that, coupled with its pink tint, makes the Octopussy pretty friendly looking.
The tip of this toy is upturned, so getting to your G-spot is not a problem. Not at all. And the absolute best part of this dildo is the loopy finger grip at the end. Every dildo should have a loopy finger grip at the end! Whether you’re using the Octopussy alone or with a partner, that nifty little handle makes it almost effortless. Also clean-up is as easy as soap and water!
Description: Imagine the smooth, heavy sensation of glimmering, polished black Norwegian Moonstone against your G-spot: that’s the Laid Stone Dildo. This hand-held, perfectly weighted and stunning dildo is contoured on one end to hit the G-spot with just the right angle, crafted with your anatomy in mind. The other end, meanwhile, is narrower for a different penetrative feel. Place it in a bowl of warm or cool water to change its temperature. Makes a one-of-a-kind gift, and it’s great for couples; you’ll never again complain that your hand’s too tired to keep going. Brought to you by Laid, a new sex toy design company from Norway whose toys are at the cutting edge of form and pleasure.
Review: I don’t know what Norwegian Moonstone is, but I can say that this toy is not for the faint of heart. You know the brooding, mysterious, drop-dead sexy beast who’s been giving you fuck-me eyes all night but hasn’t said a word? That’s the Laid Stone dildo. It’s dark, heavy and slick, and there’s something mildly-to-extremely intimidating about it, but in a good way.
I don’t know, it’s just fucking sexy.
The Laid Stone starts out cool, temperature-wise, but warms up after a bit. I found it a little more fun to use with a partner and, as the giver, both ends fit comfortably in your hand. Because of its weight, there’s really no fear of the toy slipping out of either your partner or your grip.
I would still recommend the Laid Stone for solo use. Bonus: any future partners will instantly know what’s up when they see this baby in your nightstand.
Babeland is donating 10% of eco-friendly toy sales in April to Grist, an online magazine that’s been called “The Daily Show of the environment,” and I know how much you like the Daily Show.

this was an extremely… informative NSFW;)
“I don’t know why but it’s totally addictive.”
Autostraddle, I won’t accuse you of lying to me very often, but I call bullshit on the “I don’t know why” part.
Thanks for this. A very pleasurable NSFW.
“I don’t know why but it’s totally addictive.”
It’s boobs.
Did I spy a picture of EVAN RACHEL WOOD BISEXUAL?
indeed yes that was EVAN RACHEL WOOD BISEXUAL
I’m really enjoying the sex toy reviews. Sex toys are always a difficult buy without good reviews. I’m not sure I’m ready to look at octupi in a whole new way though…
yeah, too hentai for my taste…
it’s just hentai enough for me
BRING IT ON, YES! Bring It On is what made me realize I was gay. Even at the tender age of 6.
You were 6?? How old did that make me? How old does that make me? I feel old now.
Bring It On came out in 2000. It doesn’t seem like that long ago, but now that I actually stop and think about it, it was 11 years ago. ELEVEN YEARS AGO! It seems like only yesterday I was admiring Eliza Dushku’s…everything.
i was 19 when bring it on came out
14. Missy. omg
i was 8.
my sister was an idea.
I guess I was 12 then. I LOVED that movie.

The OMG cat.
This is similar to my facial expression while looking at that fabulous gallery of pictures.
So much happiness. So many cute girls in bras. This is a good day.
OMG is right! that was the funniest thing i’ve seen online. Ever.
That normal boob site IS addicting! I want to post it to my FB bcz I think lots of women could benefit from seeing the range of “normal” presented, but perhaps the boob site is going a little far for FB…hrm…?
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the pics of ladies in bras.
On a totally separate note, the octopussy looks like something that would be up my alley. The laid stone dildo looks like something that belongs in a toilet in that picture. Maybe it looks different in real life, we can only hope.
“looks like something that would be up my alley”
*cough*COMMENT AWARD*cough*
The Japanese have a whole branch of porn that deals with octopii being up people’s alleys.
Intense. I wonder if they are expressing its up their alley while being in an alley. That happens you know.
You guys, that was the best gallery ever! Such a sexy diverse group of hot ladies
i loved the gallery.
Kind of afraid of the laid stone but for entirely different reasons – it looks like a turd ):
The laid stone brings a whole new meaning to the phrase hard as a rock
A picture gallery that includes both Shane *and* Crystal Renn? OH HELLS YES!
thanks for:
9th row, 2nd in from left
16th row, 2nd in from left
Both dildos are kind of intimidating to me but Im definetly intrigued with the octopussy. I agree that every dildo should have a loopy finger grip at the end!
normal breasts gallery IS an awesome site. i just found myself wanting to say ‘but your boobs are GREAT’ to so many of those girlies! (in a supportive sisterly way, of course)
breasts are cool, but CAN I JUST SAY this was also a damn fine gallery of stomachs (I have a thing… normal? no? I’m waiting for the day a girl will become indignant and yell “my breasts are up here!”)
I would totally support a nsfw lesbosexystomachs edition
amen, sister.
yes to abs
holleration deep in effect.
also someone help me, i now sound like artie.
2 pictures of Sarah Croce scantily clad in the same day?! Gosh Autostraddle, you’re spoiling me. I’m not a pervert – I swear – I just look at her eyes…
UNF.
Awesome, I love the boobies :)
Thank you, the “Cute Ladies” folder on my computer is now significantly larger.
there doesn’t seem to be a way to make the stone one not cold? I don’t think I’ll be having either of dildos on todays menu, thanks, but the curvy grippy thing on the octopussy looks like a very good idea!
the breasts gallery was total win! also sometimes breasts/areolas aren’t the same size, but I mean, everyone knows we dykes love asymmetry anyways.
The description suggests you could heat it in a bowl of warm water. Maybe you could also lay it in the sunshine or heat it by the fireside. That could be sexy…right?
(though, tbh, it looks huge and hard and very intimidating to me)
I blame the breast gallery being open at the same time as my reading the dildo reviews. I remember getting good grades in ERB reading comprehensions!
heating it by the fireside next to your bearskin rug…you’d have to have pipes and leather chairs and tweed, maybe if you had a theme, it could fit in…and then it wouldn’t seem so big and scary and it’d find a home.
That picture of Maggie Gyllenhaal autostraddling just made the site NSFW all over again…HOLLER! but Naya Rivera in Maxim and I didn’t know!!!!!?????!…I might have to rethink this atheist thing…or not. but EXCITEMENT!
How many beaches will I have to comb to find the perfect stone..
Okay, super hot, but also can anyone tell me where the third picture in the gallery came from? It’s a lingerie site that I have been trying to remember for WEEKS!
That normal breast gallery was a blessing to see. I always assumed that breasts looked a certain way for certain reasons. Well when you assume you make an Ass out of U and Me as the saying goes. And I’ve always felt self conscious because I was 115 pounds when I had my first child, obviously boobless and now after two kids well things are different. So nice to see so many women who have never had kids look like I do now or worse. Puts things in perspective. So the short of it, thanks for the perspective. I’m grateful for what I’ve got and who likes ’em. ;)
Oh and thanks a lot for the angelina pics you through in the bra gallery. Dear lord. I was overwhelmed. I think I still am. Too many beautiful girls. O_O
Egh *threw
