Let’s face it: we’re nearing Valentine’s Day after being stuck at home for nearly a year, and the temptation to text an ex is greater than ever. Normally that wouldn’t worry you at all, but it’s all weird and if you’ve been watching a lot of TV and movies lately, you’ve probably seen tons of Valentine’s Day storylines by this point and they may have reached you.

But You probably don’t want to write to your ex. And as an added incentive, a company offers free (can) wine (spritzes) to those who text them instead of their ex. Here’s how to take advantage of this.

How to get free wine when you’re not texting your ex

The premise is simple. Instead of texting your ex, type “U UP?” to 73255. You will then receive instructions on how to request your free wine. Courtesy MOVO Wine Spritzers (which is part of the Molson Coors Beverage Company).

It’s kind of a process.

First of all, you have to buy a four-pack with all flavors of the canned wine spritzer at your local beverage store by February 28, 2021. (And yes, this means you must be 21 years old to participate.)

Then take a photo of your receipt, which must include the retailer’s name and product name or code. (So ​​if your local liquor store is using those tiny scraps of paper with fading blue ink that is just a series of numbers and nothing else, you may want to make your purchase elsewhere – for that reason at least. Otherwise, support your local liquor store dealer regardless of the quality of their earnings.)

Send your receipt to MOVO on or before March 7, 2021, according to the original instructions you received via text. Once your receipt is received, you will receive a discount payment of up to $ 13 through Paypal or Venmo. If you do not have a PayPal or Venmo account, you will receive a notification with instructions on how to create an account and you will have to accept payment within 30 days. Otherwise the discount is forfeited. More information and The fine print here.

Additional fine print

Yes, of course this is just a clever way for Molson Coors to get your cell phone number and personal information and get you to try the canned spritzer. Plus, they don’t need proof that you didn’t text your ex. So technically, you can get your free canned wine spritzer and have an awkward text exchange with your ex.

Personally, I won’t take up this offer, but I have no doubt what would happen if I did: After settling in for an evening of sitcom reruns, I’d whip up a can (or more) of splashes. The second I started feeling it (which, to be honest, would happen quickly after a year without alcohol, to be honest) I would remember how I got that can of splash in the first place, and laugh out loud, alone in my flat.

I would inevitably think, “Do you know who would find this whole situation really weird?” – obviously related to an ex. Deciding it was too good not to share, I wrote to the person I was for was rewarded for not texting at all and telling them all about the specific reason I contacted (the promotion and absolutely no other reason). .

Perhaps this is MOVO’s true marketing strategy – in which case I’d raise a can of spritzer for this bizarrely specific but ingenious move. Anyway, please drink and write responsibly.

Driving in winter can be difficult for a number of reasons. Nobody likes brushing snow or scraping ice off windows. Fog up windshields or Crack– and that’s all after you’ve taken the time make your car winterproof even before the season started.

Also, the roads may not be in the best condition after a winter storm. And this is where salt comes in. While it’s critical to making driving safer (or in some cases possible) at this time of year, the salt put on the road can have a number of effects on your vehicle. Here are some ways to minimize the damage.

What kind of salt is used on roads?

There are three different types of road salt (vacuum, rock, and sea) that are typically a component of four different formulations of the material put on the road: sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, and potassium chloride. (You can read more about it all of this here.)

G / O Media can receive a commission

Plus, in some areas, a Brine is put on the road before the winter weather even hits: ideal for safety, but especially bad for your car. If you want to learn more about the science behind why salt is put on roads in winter, read this Article from Jalopnik.

What does salt do to cars?

For a quick look at how road salt is likely to damage your vehicle, we’re giving it to Chris Jenak, a mechanic at Glastonbury Oil and Service in Connecticut recently spoke to News 8 to this topic:

“Before when we used salt and sand, you had rust and corrosion, but it seems like everything on vehicles has rotted with that calcium chloride in the last 10 years … Rotten brake lines, rotten fuel lines … fuel pumps … some frames are rotten. Anything that has a metal composite, that chemical just comes in and eats and rots and corrodes. “

This contains parts like that::

• Exhaust system
• silencer
• Springs
• Subframe
• Hydraulic braking system

Now, back to Jenak for a breakdown of what this has to do with rust:

“It’s a combination of normal rusting of every vehicle because every car rusts. But this calcium chloride basically sets the degree of corrosion and the corrosion factor in full swing. It is a moisture activated chemical. Even when winter is over, you get a nice, rainy day in summer or a damp, humid day. It activates the chemical. It continues to sit there and react and eat away all the metal. “

How to protect your car from salt damage

While different salt formulations can cause damage faster than others, these are general tips from DMV.org are your best choices regardless of the type used in your region:

1. Grow your vehicle every yearjust before the winter weather starts.
2. Get the salt out of your car ASAP after driving through. (Even if you prefer to wash your car yourself, this is a great excuse for a trip to the car wash.)
3. Don’t skip the landing gear. Whether you wash your car yourself or choose a car wash, make sure the lower / lower part of the car can be sprayed.
4. Consider pre-treating the landing gear. This is something that some body shops offer.
5. Carry out a vehicle inspection before winter. Either slide under the car yourself (if you know what you’re doing) or have a professional do it. The aim is to identify possible weak or rusty parts and remove them before the winter road salt.
6. Stay away from puddles and plow carts. This is generally good advice for winter driving (you never know how deep that puddle will be), but also helpful with regards to salt. Puddles are usually high in salt, and while this seems safer, driving just behind (or near) a plow / salt truck positions your vehicle for maximum salt exposure.

An Insignia 5-qt. analog air fryer and an Epson EcoTank ET-2720 wireless inkjet printer lead Saturday’s best deals.

Promoted Deal: Up To 80% off Sex Toys | Lelo

Hey hey, for a short time, Lelo is having a Valentine’s Day sale on their sex toys. You’ll get up to 80% off select sex toys, and they’ve even separated their site into 20%, 25%, and 50% categories for you to get the most savings on the items you would most like to take you to orgasmic bliss.

They’re both $135 after discounts of 20% and 25%! I don’t know what you’re waiting for, orgasms are just a couple of clicks away!

I’ve made the switch to an inkjet printer, and I’m not going back. It felt like I was buying new ink cartridges way too often, which was bad for my budget and it also felt just plain wasteful. This Epson EcoTank ET-2720 inkjet printer should provide the average household with up to two years of printing— or 4,500 prints, whichever comes first. The calculation Epson made is based on 125 prints a month. And that’s all just in the one ink kit that the wireless all-in-one printer comes with! The equivalent in traditional ink cartridges would be about 80 cartridges.

The Epson EcoTank ET-2720 is $50 off right now at both Best Buy and Amazon, and that’s a deal you should seriously jump on. Not only will you get lots of clean prints, you can also scan documents and make copies in a snap! Grab it while the deal is still good.

Amazon makes the cheapest brand-name tablets around, and while we wouldn’t put them on par with proper iPads, they’re solid budget-friendly options for use-anywhere streaming media, ebooks, web browsing, and more. Usually, the dirt-cheap Fire 7—currently just $40—and the Fire HD 8 (now $65) catch our attention, but it’s the sizable Fire HD 10 tablet that might be Amazon’s best bargain at the moment.

Right now, the large 1080p slate is just $95, a 37% savings off the $150 list price. This sizable Android tablet gives you a solidly crisp screen ideal for media, apps, browsing, and even games, plus the 12-hour battery life will keep you entertained whether kicking around at home right now or hopefully on future, safe travels.

Amazon’s tablets aren’t the most powerful devices around, so keep your expectations in check as far as glossy 3D gaming and speedy multitasking. However, they hit a sweet spot in terms of function and price and are ideal for consuming media. Amazon customers give the Fire HD 10 a 4.6-star rating and the $95 price is for the 32GB version with ads on the lock screen. The ad-less version is $110, or you can always pay a fee to remove the ads later.

True wireless earbuds with active noise canceling smarts don’t have to break the bank.

In his roundup of the best VPNs at Gizmodo, Andrew Couts called NordVPN “fast and easy to use,” citing accessibility and affordability as reasons to subscribe. Though it’s almost always marked down from its $287 list price, the 2-year plan is nonetheless the cheapest option to get started with the service and continue using it long-term. For a limited time only, though, it’s not only 68% off, bringing your total to just $89 for 730 days, but it also comes with an extra 1-month, 1-year, or 2-year plan, randomly applied by the Nordic gods at checkout, through the end of February.

Couts says in his abbreviated review:

No matter what you pay, you’ll get access to more than 5,400 servers in more than 60 countries, a bunch of features you may or may not want, and, because the company is based in Panama, assurances that your data—or lack of data, as the case may be—is outside of U.S. and European jurisdictions. Like every other VPN on this list, NordVPN claims to have a “strict no-logs policy,” so most of your data isn’t collected, the company says. It does still collect your email address, payment information, and the timestamp of the last time you launched the VPN.

But NordVPN isn’t without its downsides. “…some researchers have found that it sends your email address and Google Ad ID to a marketing company when you register through the Android app and contains some trackers,” Couts explained. “Another downside is that some of NordVPN’s servers are rented, which means another company you need to trust is in the mix. And yes, one of those servers got hacked in 2018.”

Still, if you want one of the most reliable VPN clients, with the budget to support its robust infrastructure, you can’t go wrong with NordVPN. Plus, with availability on virtually every platform imaginable—from macOS to Android TV—this private networking tool is equal parts ubiquitous and acclaimed. Endorsed by PCMag, Wired, CNET, Business Insider, and more, it may be time to board the Nord train if you’re somehow unwedded to a VPN already.

Earbuds come in many styles and forms, and it absolutely comes down to preference. I go back and forth on whether I like the around-the-ear style.

You have a laptop. You have a tablet. But do you have a laptop that’s kind of a tablet? If you want to combine the best of both worlds, there’s plenty of flexible laptops out there capable of folding into a compact piece of tech. Take, for example, this 11.6″ Acer Chromebook. The laptop’s touchscreen can flip around entirely, allowing you to turn it into a sort of standing tablet. That’s perfect for watching movies or playing games without having a keyboard in your way. Other than that little perk, this Chromebook has 10 hours of battery life and 64 GB of storage. It’s currently on sale for $220, so this is an inexpensive option for someone who needs a laptop but doesn’t need the power (AKA, your mom).

I feel like there’s something to using a mechanical keyboard with blue switches— something about that audible clack-clacking of the keys as I type makes me feel more productive. Plus, I just prefer using a mechanical keyboard when gaming.

If you’re looking for a new mechanical keyboard, you gotta check out one of today’s Shell Shocker deals over at Newegg.

Right now, you can snag a Rosewill mechanical gaming keyboard for just $50. That’s half-off from retail and cheaper than you can even find it on Amazon. Plus, just look how bright and shiny its RGB lighting is— don’t you want that on your desk?! You can even adjust it to one of 22 different backlighting pre-programmed modes.

Since this keyboard has Blue Kailh switches rather than Brown Kailh switches, expect the audible clicks as you type, as I mentioned earlier. This keyboard ships for free.

Alright, let’s get something straight. Presidents’ Day? Whatever! It seems like a pretty lame holiday and you’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone that “celebrates” it. But is having a day off from work nice? Yes. And is having a bunch of absolutely random sales because of it also a perk? Yep. So, it’s hard for me to complain when Best Buy is running a massive video game sale for the holiday. What’s discounted? Too much to list here considering there are 12 pages of deals. But here are some highlights none the less. First-party Nintendo Switch games are discounted across the board, and you know how rare that can be. Most notable is the elusive Ring Fit Adventure, which is down to $70. Even the rarely discounted Animal Crossing: New Horizons is down to $50. The Last of Us Part 2 is $30, so you can finally form an opinion on it for half price. The absolutely fantastic Yakuza: Like a Dragon is down to $40 and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

There’s few things I like more than a good buy two get one free gaming sale. As a physical media faithful, it’s an easy way to restock my shelves. Amazon has a B2G1 running right now, which actually includes books, movies, and more as well. You can mix and match if you’d like, but if you’re here for the games, here’s a few recommendations so you don’t have to dig through six pages. First and foremost, yes, Cyberpunk 2077 is included. Both the console versions (proceed with caution there) or the PC version are eligible for the sale. If you’re a Duty Head, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is included as well. PS4 owners can grab Marvel’s Spider-Man, which is one of the best games of last generation. My main man Tony Hawk is even included here. That’s only a small collection of what’s included, so peak through the full list if you’re interested.

Consider this a fair warning: the Super Mario Nintendo Switch is now on sale, and it’s going to go fast. Every time Nintendo releases a new special Switch, listings are up and down within seconds. GameStop is already sold out and we imagine other retailers won’t have it much longer. By the time you’re reading this, it may even be sold out at Target, where you can currently get it. So if you want one, don’t delay. This special Switch is all red and blue, just like the most famous Italian himself. In addition to a custom color scheme, the package comes with a Switch carrying case too, which is a nice bonus. If you were going to buy a Switch at some point anyways, you might as well go this route and get the extra perk.

We all knew this day was coming. Ever since Cyberpunk 2077 launched just in December, it’s seemed pretty clear that a price drop was imminent. A wave of bad press really hurt the game’s word of mouth, despite the fact that it reportedly sold over 13 million units.

Whether or not this is directly related to all of the fallout, you can now get Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation 4 for $44 or Xbox One for $45 from Amazon. If you’d rather get a PC copy, Eneba has the game down to $27 when you use the discount code CP2027 at checkout. You’ll get a key that’s redeemable on GOG.

Be warned that the game has been widely criticized on consoles for poor performance, especially if you have the original base PS4 or Xbox One hardware (instead of the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X).

CD Projekt Red has announced a roadmap of patches and fixes that will finish rolling out this month, and you’ll also get access to the respective next-generation upgrade on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S once that’s released later this year. However, there is no guarantee of eventual performance quality, so jump in at your own risk.

We’ve seen Ubisoft slash the price on games like Watch Dogs: Legion, Just Dance 2021, and even Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, but the studio just took things to another level. You can now grab Immortals: Fenyx Rising for $30 at Amazon. The game is still relatively brand new, so that’s about as fast a price cut as you can expect. Ubisoft’s latest open world game looks like it takes many cues from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with free climbing, gliding, and rune-like abilities that can be used to solve puzzle shrines. Except it’s about Gods. If that sounds up your alley, you can grab the PS4, Xbox, and Switch versions at a discount now.

Stop wasting money on old alkaline batteries that you’ll eventually throw away and grab some rechargeable packs for your Xbox, whether it’s Xbox Series X/S or Xbox One. This Beboncool set has two batteries and their charger, and it falls down to $17 at Amazon.

The batteries are rated for 2,550mAh capacity, which should get you more than 15 hours of playtime, and it only takes a couple of hours to recharge them once they’re depleted. This is my preferred alternative to plug-and-play kits, as it means I never have to stay attached to the ‘box.

A new year means new opportunities to drop money on crazy gaming collector’s items with no regard for your wallet. I’m usually immune to it, but even I’ve been succumbing recently, buying steelbooks and special editions. This special physical version of Dead Cells is really tempting me to take it to the next level though. The Switch version of the roguelike’s Prisoner’s Edition is down to $80 on Amazon and it’s stacked with extras. It includes a 8.5″ statue of the game’s protagonist and a 7″ vinyl soundtrack. That game’s got jams, so the latter is especially appealing. A DLC code for the Bad Seed DLC is included too, and the entire thing is housed in a snazzy metal tin. So I need this? No. But do I deserve a damn reward for surviving 2020? I’d argue yes for the purposes of making a crazy purchase.

It’s been a quiet year for games so far, and that’s likely to continue considering how many delays have already happened in 2021. But there’s actually a neat little gem coming this week: Little Nightmares II. The first game was a wonderful, creepy puzzle platformer that got a little lost in the 2017 shuffle. With the runway clearer, the sequel looks like it’ll make a bigger impact with its dazzling art direction that makes it look like the second coming of Limbo. The game is out today and you can currently get the PS4 version for $25, the Xbox version for $27 (with promo code EMCESHH49) and the Switch version for $34. I have no idea why they are all slightly different prices, but that feels properly horrifying.

If you’ve ever thought about buying any EA game in the past few years, here’s your moment to shine. Amazon is running a giant EA publisher sale, which includes discounts on some of the company’s greatest hits on PC only. If you don’t want to subscribe to EA Play, this is an excellent chance to pick and choose the games you want for cheap. The sale includes a mix of recent hits and golden oldies. If you’ve been thinking about getting Star Wars Squadrons, it’s on sale for $24. Speaking of the space drama, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is only $20.

The deals don’t stop there! Want to dip into Burnout Paradise Remastered? That’s only $5! There are some rock bottom prices on amazing games in here, like Titanfall 2 for $6 or Dead Space for $2, so browse around and see if there’s anything you’ve been meaning to pick up over the years.

Cyberpunk 2077’s launch has been one of the messiest in recent memory. While some are enjoying CD Projekt Red’s ambitious open world game, others are experiencing a wave of bugs and graphical errors that make immersion next to impossible. The last-gen editions of the game are in especially bad shape, leaving fans to wonder if the studio actively tried to hide the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions ahead of release. The situation is so bad that Sony pulled the game from the PlayStation store entirely, leaving CDPR scrambling for fixes. Oh, and there’s that whole cyberattack drama as well, which is unfortunate.

All that said, it’s not really a great time to buy Cyberpunk 2077 if you’re a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One owner. Hell, I played on PC and it still felt like it wasn’t quite ready. So here’s a something to do while you wait for the next big patch: get The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Game of the Year Edition for $10 instead. For those who have yet to play it, it’s a much better introduction to CD Projekt Red and its ability to craft sprawling open world adventures. If you like it, come back to Cyberpunk later this month when the game’s second massive patch is supposed to launch. Or maybe wait until the Complete Edition inevitably drops in a few years.

Here’s a fun fact about sports games: they tend to be the last games released on older consoles. For whatever reason, gamers who just play Madden or FIFA don’t seem to care about upgrading to a new machine right away. They’re happy to just keep their old system as long as the next annual edition of their favorite sports games keep coming to it. With that in mind, here’s a perfect deal for that specific type of gamer. You can get one year of EA Play on PS4 for $26. Just use the code MOSTLYSPORTS at checkout and you’ll shave a few bucks off the usual price. This may seem niche, but we’ve got to look out for all kinds of gamers here. If you really just plan on keeping your PS4 another year to play the next Madden installment, why not get access to EA’s games service and save some money?

Unfortunately, I believe this discount code only works on the black model and not the white one, which can be yours for $24. Just as a heads up, we previously had a discount code for the white model which brought it all the way down to $10— but that was a very short-lived deal that didn’t last through the day. So, this may drop again in price, but the black model is the best bet for now.

The Echo Dot already hits the sweet spot of price and functionality for a voice assistant smart speaker, and the Echo Dot Kids Edition makes it more palatable for a child’s room or play space.

Whether you’re outdoors camping, or your power is out at home, a portable generator comes in handy for recreational activities and emergency situations alike. From Kinja Deals reader-favorite brand Tacklife, this one is solar-powered and boasts a 300 watt-hour battery capacity. Measuring 14″ x 9″ x 7″ and weighing 9.57 pounds in the box, its size is comparable to an industry-grade rugged laptop—compact enough to take on a trip, even in the trunk of a small sedan, but don’t count on fitting it in your pocket. Still, considering its diminutive dimensions, the Portable Power Station packs a real punch, capable of charging a smartphone more than 27 times, a laptop (or refrigerator!) for 6 hours, a 45-watt CPAP for 9 hours, and a car vac for 2.5 consecutive hours.

The generator includes the required three Lithium-ion batteries needed to operate the device and, for a limited time only, is discounted $65 using the promo code FO5YH4MC. As the weather grows colder, you might want to jump on this deal before it spikes back up to its full $215 list price. You’ve got until Friday night to secure a backup plan for any upcoming outdoor expeditions or blizzard-induced power outages bound to arise in the coming months.

Winter can bring some truly frigid days, and if your heating system can’t quite keep up or you don’t want to blast it throughout the house, here’s an option for easily bringing targeted heat to any room that needs it.

TaoTronics’ portable ceramic space heater is lightweight and even has a handle, and it provides up to 1500W of warming relief. It can oscillate too, plus it’ll automatically shut off if knocked over. It also comes with a remote for easy adjustments without leaving your bed, desk, or couch.

Right now, it’s marked down from $77 to just $59 when you use promo code 23KINJA8 for additional savings. I have a similar model and it’s a godsend for the extra-chilly nights in our barely-insulated upstairs bedrooms, which our furnace struggles to reach. It’s a very handy thing to have around!

I’m a big fan of these single-serve K-cup machines because I often make too much coffee and waste a lot of grounds. As a coffee lover, something quick to get me going in the morning is welcome, mostly because I’m still sleepy. The easier to operate, the better. This Keurig K-Mini Plus is just $79, and has a savings of $31.

This sleek black color is great if you’re trying to match it with other appliances or want it to blend in with whatever is already on your counter. It’s slim so that it won’t take up much space, and it has its own K-pod storage of up to nine little java units. You can use any K-pods in this machine as long as they are the same size.

TaoTronics’ 6L Warm and Cool Mist Humidifier is up for the task, holding a sizable amount of water and automatically maintaining a comfortable humidity level, as shown on the LED display. It also has a tray for essential oils, if you please, and promises whisper-quiet operation.

The Diskreet Vibe is the companion piece to the Diskreet Air (my favorite toy). This vibe sizes down the tech of the Aurora and Dea but not the potency. They somehow managed to get all that in just a 3.5” diameter toy. Choose how you want to groove with the multiple sides; there are options. This clitoral vibrator is just as cute as the above Air in its beautiful baby blue clamshell case. Both of these cases look like compacts and fit snuggling in your purse. They’re USB charged and waterproof too.

Have you ever thought to yourself, God, I wish my Fleshlight were more like a gaming rig? If you answered yes, then Lelo’s F1s is just the thing for you. Available in Developer’s Kit RED and Prototype variants, it might seem concerning that neither of these sounds like a finished product, but naming isn’t everything. While the company probably should have steered clear of monikers that, in the tech world, are typically synonymous with “works in progress,” both F1s models are nevertheless pretty advanced pieces of equipment. Too advanced, some might argue.

But for the horny desk jockey, it’s also kind of hard to resist a male sex toy that hooks up to your phone using a smartphone app for unbridled customization. But imagine if, on top of being able to control your settings and track performance, you were also able to modify the SDK yourself. Because it’s open-source, either F1s unit lets you create your own patterns and adjust the intensity of its rumble by way of its internal sensors. Add to that Lelo’s patented SenSonic haptics—made famous by the world’s best-selling Lelo Sona—and you’ve got yourself the perfect accompaniment to any high-end gaming setup, and at a price that can’t be beaten.

We know you’re still enamored with The Child because we are too. This Grogu crop top is the cutest way to show your love for the babe of the galaxy.

Fingers crossed, we are getting this Black Widow movie sooner than later. This is a great deal on this ring from RockLove because their pieces rarely go one sale. I actually own this ring, and it’s gorgeous in person. The classic Widow hourglass emblem shines and sparkles with blood-red crystals. Set in sterling silver, it was then plated in polished black ruthenium to give it a more distressed look. It wraps around the finger perfectly to show the world you’re a boss spy babe. As with all their jewelry, this comes in a beautiful collector’s box.

I’m so proud of you for still wearing a mask, it’s super cool of you. But do you need an upgrade or maybe something a little more heavy-duty? Or maybe you just want to put your mind at ease with something a smidge more protective? Grab 40 of the KN95 masks from MorningSave right now for just $29.

These are industry-standard which means they are supposed to filter 95 percent of particles. That is just about as good as you can get. So the mask obviously doesn’t completely eliminate the risk of catching or spreading something but if you wear it correctly it still drastically reduces the likelihood. These are also great if you’ve got severe allergies or asthma and protect against pollen, dander, and whatnot. The KN-95 isn’t made for clinical environments not that you’re performing surgery with these but they will definitely protect you and others against what is currently out there. Not all heroes wear capes, but they do wear masks. So thank you.

If you’ve read a few of our pieces on MorningSave before and you like what you’ve seen they offer a $5 monthly fee to get free shipping on all of your orders no matter how many.

As you’ve seen this week, Lelo designs beautiful adult toys that are gorgeously packaged and meticulously tested. The Soraya 2 is hands down my favorite. Use the code KINJA10 at checkout for a total of 30% off this glorious vibe.

I was not prepared for the power that the Soraya 2 has, and it took some getting used to. But once I did, it quickly rose to the top of my list. As with a classic rabbit, you both g-spot and c-spot stimulation. The difference here is it is precise every use. Lelo’s entire line is made from the plushest ultra-silicone, softer than any vibe in my collection. The Soraya 2 was designed to be the perfect shape because Lelo literally did trans-vaginal ultrasounds to engineer the most elite vibrator on the market. If that’s not dedication, I don’t know what is.

You know I’m a sucker for sex tech, and I was positively surprised by the ingenuity of the Soraya 2. Lelo really took into consideration a woman’s body and needs. There are twelve vibration settings, and it’s effortless to operate with the button placement and the open handle. I wouldn’t say it’s “whisper quiet,” but it’s a lot gentler in the noise department than other toys out there. It absolutely holds its charge and can handle self-love sessions for up to two hours. You also can only use one motor at a time because the dual ones are independent of each other. Which I have to say is a nice feature to mix it up. The Soraya 2 is extremely accomodating, and if you’re looking for something with a kick, this might be the vibe for you. This is approved for watersports, so don’t be afraid to take it on a high seas adventure. Water-based lube is recommended. And please remember to clean your goodies before and after use. Lelo actually has a great spray for that.

This will ship for free.
