Halloween Isn't Just for Kids

Halloween is just around the corner and we've all been inundated with costumes.  With pop-up costume stores on every corner, it may seem impossible to create a unique, adult costume that won't make you look like every other sexy cat in the neighborhood.  Luckily, a creative adult costume doesn't have to come from a package.  With a few basic pieces, you can transform yourself into almost anything you can imagine.  Best of all, these pieces can all be worn again giving you a significant return on your investment.  Ready to start creating?

Step 1.  Start with a great corset.  A great corset is the perfect foundation from which to build your costume.  Best of all, no female wardrobe is complete without one.  A corset is not only sexy on its own at a club, it looks great under a blazer for a sophisticated night out and looks even better alone with a g-string as lingerie.  There are so many wonderful uses for a great corset that if you don't already buy one, now is the perfect opportunity.  Fantasy Gifts in New Jersey has a great selection up to sizes 3X and some are even reversible - giving you even more bang for your buck!

Step 2. Add a tutu.  Almost all fun, sexy costumes for women can incorporate a tutu.  Witches, showgirls, pirates, cats, princess, flappers - the list goes on and on.  Tutus are fun and can show off a great pair of legs.
They are also relatively inexpensive, even the light-up ones cost under $20.00 so go for it!

Step 3. Pick out hosiery.  No matter what the costume - you need to cover those legs on a cold fall night. Fantasy Gifts in New Jersey has a large selection of fishnets, thigh his, back seamed, school girl tights - you name, we have it in your size and color!

Step 4.  Add a wig.  Wigs are fun.  Don't mess with styling your hair - a great wig will instantly transform your appearance while still keeping you super sexy.  For one night, have the hair of your dreams!

Step 5.  Add some lashes.  False eyelashes are the surest way to make your eyes pop.  This is Halloween - make a dramatic statement.

Step 6.  Add your accessories.  You already have a great foundation - now you can accessorize it any way you want to truly make your costume unique.  Add cat ears and a tail and you're a sexy cat.  A witch's hat and a wand - boom!  Some cute wings and you can be a ladybug, bumblebee or anything that flies.  Put your hair in pigtails and add a plaid skirt and you're a naughty school girl.  Accessories are the cheapest and easiest way to take the guess work out of your costume building.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

While October is the time for all things spooky and creepy here's one thing really scary - many women miss the early signs of breast cancer because they either don't do self-exams or do not have a mammogram. According to the National Cancer Institute, if breast cancer is caught early and localized, the 5 year survival rate is 98%.  Think about that.  In comparison, the five year survival rate for lung cancer is only 16%.

Although breast cancer awareness is one of the best funded campaigns, too many women are still dying of this treatable disease.  To aid in breast cancer awareness, we suggest you purchase the
 Evolved Faith Waterproof Vibrator.  You can raise awareness and support for breast cancer while stimulating yourself!  The proceeds from every purchase of this vibrator will go to the Save the Ta Tas Foundation.

If you're a breast cancer survivor, you may be suffering from the effects of your treatment.  These effects could be interfering with your sexual health.  If your libido is low, try reading an erotic novel.  If you've already tapped out the Fifty Shades of Grey series, we suggest trying the Sylvia Day's series Bared to You.  To be honest, we think it's written better and the lead female character is less whiny and virginal!

If a book isn't your thing, try watching a movie together.  Just in time for Halloween we offer Zero Tolerance Official Halloween Parody.  All of the gore of the original Halloween movie, with just enough humor and raunchy sex to entertain!

Another side effect of breast cancer treatment is vaginal dryness.  Although we always recommend all women use a lubricant during sexual intercourse, it is particularly important if your body is not capable of producing normal levels of vaginal secretions.  Although Pjur Eros Original Bodyglide is our number one selling silicone based lubricant - and a fabulous product- for breast cancer survivors we often recommend Pjur Medical Natural Glide.  It is from the same manufacturer, but it is water based and mimics the natural ingredients your body normally produces.

More than 70% of breast cancer survivors report having significant problems in the bedroom more than 2 years after their diagnosis according to the Journal of Sexual Medicine.  The important thing to remember if you are one of them is you are not alone and you do not have to suffer.  A female friendly store like Fantasy Gifts offers knowledgeable, trained women staff who can help you with all of your sexual wellness needs. You can also go online or visit your neighborhood pharmacist.  The important thing is to discuss your sexual issues honestly with your doctor and your partner.  Empower yourself and recognize you deserve a healthy and happy sexual life.

Your Prostate and Sexual Health

September is National Prostate Month!  Why is this little organ so important and why should it be on your radar?  Because over 30 million men suffer from prostate conditions that affect their quality of life.

For those of you who don't know, the prostate is actually a sexual organ.  It's a small gland, about the size of a walnut, that surrounds the urethra.  The urethra carries urine and semen through the penis.  In some men, the prostate begins to grow around age 40.  An enlarged prostate can lead to frequent urination or erectile dysfunction.  Prostate cancer is also the most common cancer found in men and is the second leading cause of death among men (lung cancer is first).

Because the prostate is a sexual organ, the stimulation of it during sexual intercourse is very pleasurable for most men.  Fortunately, unlike the elusive g-spot, it's also easier to find.  While you can use an ordinary g-spot vibrator to stimulate the prostate, we recommend a vibrator specifically meant for the prostate like Dr. Joel Kaplan's Prostate Massager.

There's also a fabulous new line of male prostate devices from Aneros.  Aneros' prostate massagers are designed to trigger multiple orgasms by stimulating and strengthening the prostate.  The tip of the massager rests comfortably against the prostate while the massager pivots back and forth using only the anal muscles.  This enables a man's erection to be harder and last longer.  

As with any massager, we always recommend using a lubricant.  Aneros again comes to the rescue with a line of Marksman Disposable Lubricant Applicators which are pre-filled lubricant shooters designed to deliver the perfect amount of lubricant right on target, every time.  

The important thing to remember is that all men have a prostate.  Like any part of your body, it is important to care for it.  The stimulation of the prostate produces a normal, healthy, sexual response.
