Webbed Latex Diving Gloves Will Terrify Mermaids
Yes, I know what you’re thinking and you, sir, have a filthy mind. And I admit that on first seeing these terrifying webbed-gloves, I thought the exact same thing. So let’s get our minds out of the gutter and take a look at the other advantages of wearing gloves that make you look like an amphibian gimp.
The name doesn’t help any: Darkfin sounds like a lame fish-wizard, but the contoured latex gloves will help you to swim more like a fish. The finger-flaps increase the surface area of your hands by 70%, letting you push harder against the water when diving, swimming, surfing or even sky-diving (in the air, obviously, not the water).
The Darkfin company says that the rubber won’t impede your manual dexterity, and that the gloves – if looked after – are tough enough to outlast a wetsuit. They have one other advantage, too – because of the increased force needed to push, you’ll get some hot-looking upper-body musculature in no time.
Just make sure that you never, ever leave these on your nightstand. $25.

Teledildonic Add-On Turns Wiimote into Remote Vibrator
Mojowijo is a teledildonic accessory for the Nintendo Wiimote, which is somewhat ironic given the console’s family-friendly reputation. The device, currently in private beta, is very simple: You hook the hardware components to two Wiimotes. Wiggling and thrusting on the first remote are detected and sent via Bluetooth to a nearby PC (you don’t need the actual Wii itself).
From there, your movements are sent over the internet and reproduced by a vibrator on the other Wiimote, allowing a remote partner to enjoy your stimulations. Amusingly, the product page touts these teledildonics as just one possibility: the others are sharing the game with someone in the same room, or using the device on yourself. This last seems absurd, a little like riding a bike and steering it using a couple of sticks. It would obviate the need for sitting on your arm until you can’t feel your hand, though.
You can sign up for the beta now, and you’ll get a prototype device to test. The signup page asks for an awful lot of personal details, though, so it might pay to be wary before jumping in, especially as the product shots are just computer-renderings.
If this does take off though, we can see all manner of possibilities, including the inevitable professional services like those seen in FaceTime porn.

Wind-Up Vibrator Is Powered By Your Wrist
The Earth Angel Wind-Up Vibrator is typical of green, wholemeal, tree-hugger penitence. The “worlds first 100% eco-friendly wind-up sex toy” builds the punishment into the pleasure you need to work for your thrills.
The vibrator is made from 100% recycled plastic and parts a do-gooders dream and requires you to do four minutes of furious cranking for every half hour of use. It does store your juice, though, so you can put in the wrist-power now and enjoy the fruits at your leisure.
You get four speeds and easy three button up-down-off control. For those of you for whom size still matters, the length is just 8.5 and the circumference 5.3 (a diameter of 1.7).
We actually like the battery-saving design, although not because its eco-friendly. No, I like it because I now have one more task which I can thrust upon my subservient gimp. Chenll love it. $69 (of course).
