Back in my prime, I would have been all about the grrl toyz Get Lucky grrl Kit, but now, as a happy member of the ball-and-chain gang, a kit destined for one-night stands is no longer on my wish list. But thankfully, I still have my distant memories to call on - and roommates (straight gal and gay guy, soo New York!) both of whom are single and more than willing to mingle. If not, have sex with strangers.
The packaging of the Get Lucky grrl (or boyyz?) Kit is a little cheap but it's what's on the inside that counts, right? And for a mere $9.99, what is on the inside gets you enough bang for your 10 dolla bill, and, hopefully, for your whole night. The kit comes in a clear case that you can use to tote cosmetics after it's been emptied of its sexy goodies. The packaging wins cute points, sprinkled with clever safe sex sayings, making the whole thing kind of looks like the poor woman's version of the inside of Samantha Jones' clutch. I would consider ignoring the suggestion to bring one out with you - it might be a little too clunky to carry to da club as is, but emptying the insides into a smaller stealthier, (um, less see through, or something without the phrase "Get Lucky" printed on it,) carrying case should do the trick.
Inside are three condoms, three "SEXNAPs," a pair of dice with salacious suggestions, and a packet of personal lubricant. The condoms are a bust - even before use - as they're everyone's least favorite boning protection: DUREX?! Ew! If you're trying to persuade people to wrap it up, at least sweeten the deal with some Trojans for Her Pleasure. The climax H2O personal lubricant and the SEXNAPs make up for it though. Those naughty little moist towelettes for you-know-where are a must for any time, but especially handy when you're getting down with a new guy and you're miles, minutes, or subway stops away from your own loo. The sex dice were the biggest hit of the bag - one dotted with verbs and the other with body parts. Fairly tame, they're perfect for first-time foreplay. It will be awkward though when the inevitable "Blow" and "Toes" are rolled.
The idea of the Get Lucky grrl Kit is a great one - it's kind of like a reminder from a very cool mom, "hey kids, have fun, get laid, but don't forget about protection!" if such parental figures exist. All tackiness aside, it's a step in the right direction to encourage women to take safe sex matters into their own hands. The number of gals who still balk at the idea of toting their own Trojans is still surprisingly high, so grrltoyz should be commended for their girly kit that promises that protected sex is the best kind of sex.
