Even though Gio and I are now husband and wife, we still look for new chances to connect with each other in more intimate ways. The problem is – we donât always make time to do so. Gio and I both work all the time. This means that sometimes we let our intimacy take a back seat to well…sleep!
This Valentineâs Day, Gio and I made a commitment to disconnect from work and reconnect to each other! We are teaming up with our friends at Fun Factory to introduce you to one of the toys we love: .

We partnered with Fun Factory because they are an innovator with more than 25 years in the sex toy industry. Based in Germany, they employ eco-friendly practices and use body safe materials to create pleasurable products.
Gio and I have created our very own fun kit with It features the BE·ONE, the VOLTA and a few other fun surprises! The BE·ONE is one of Fun Factoryâs latest innovations. As a couples vibrator, the BE·ONE helped us reconnect through touch.
is a super rumbly vibe that was designed with the clit in mind, but can be used anywhere that feels good. The shape is unique and it can be used individually or for couples play. Both products are rechargeable. The VOLTA can last for 45 minutes of play. They donât take too long to charge so you can charge one while you use the other then switch! Also, the buttons on both toys light up. This is a great feature if youâre getting busy in the dark.
As a survivor of sexual assault, anything too phallic in appearance or feel can be triggering to me. I personally really like the VOLTA and the BE·ONE because they provide intense stimulation in a way that feels safe and affirming to me.
Both toys are easy to use in terms of grip either on your own or with a partner. The BE·ONE slides right in between your fingers which makes even a shoulder graze full of vibration. I found the BE·ONE to have a lighter vibration than VOLTA. The way that it fits in between the fingers makes it blend really well with your natural touch. Plus, it has two motors that bring vibration to both the palm and the hand. And may I add that this is a great toy for someone with longer nails!
The VOLTA also has an easy-to-hold grip. The ergonomic loop handle is even award-winning earning ââ in 2011. You bend your finger to hold on and let the VOLTA do the rest! Even on each of their most intense settings, keeping your grip is easy and not a distraction.
Donât know where to start with your BE·ONE? We can help with that! Fun Factory has designed to help you explore your BE·ONE with your partner. Letâs jump in!
Date 1 – Unbox Your Desires
The purpose of the first date night with your BE·ONE is to get to know your BE·ONE and your partner better.
What you need:
- Your partner
- Your BE·ONE and its box
- Two writing utensils
- Your favorite things to set a romantic mood and your imagination
Turn on some music. Gio and I both have our favorite Beyonce song to get us in the mood. For Gio, itâs âRocketâ and for me, itâs âDance for You.â After putting on some music, take out your BE·ONE. Take turns trying out each of the settings while holding it in your hands. Next up, itâs game time!
Inside the packaging for the BE·ONE is a little game! Youâll find two checklists of possible sexy scenarios – one for you and one for your partner. Grab a pen or pencil, and each take the time to check off the scenarios with options yes, no and maybe.
Next compare, your lists and see where you and your partner overlap. Gio and I were surprised to see that both of our lists looked pretty similar. Maybe you and your partner will find youâre both interested in something youâve never tried before!
Date 2 – Flirt or Dare
The purpose of this date night is to learn a little more about your partnerâs desires and boundaries. A little game of flirt or dare will kickstart the conversation.
What you need:
- Your partner
- Your BE·ONE and its box
- A coin
- Something sweet to drink
Inside your BE·ONE box, youâll find a Flirt or Dare game. Thereâs a list of prizes. Each pick which one you want to win and game on! Flip a coin to see who goes first. Some of the dares include the BE·ONE so make sure you keep it nearby!
Playing board and card games is one of our favorite things to do as a couple. It should have no surprise to me that my very competitive husband made a competition out of Flirt or Dare. And of course, he won! Can you guess which reward he picked?
Date 3: Stick With Me
The purpose of this last date is to take everything youâve learned about your partner in the first two dates and take it to the next level.
What You Need:
- Your partner
- Your BE·ONE
- The completed Yes-No-Maybe lists
- Stickers or sticky notes
This last date will push you out of your comfort zone. I know it did for us. Take some fun stickers and place them around your space. Each sticker will represent a place you can use later in your play. Try to think beyond the bedroom.
We stuck stickers in the living room, kitchen, dining room and even our spare bedroom which is full of Gioâs sneaker collection. And donât forget you can really get things steamy in the shower.
Next, break out your yes, no and maybe lists to see what else you havenât tried yet. Look for the stickers around the room to find a spot that you can use to mix it up! Are you having fun yet?!
When you buy our special Fun Factory kit, it comes in discreet packaging. Open it up and youâll find an explosion of colorful tissue, a handwritten thank you card from both Gio and I as well as your new toys! Games are included, of course.

We hope that you and your partner enjoy these toys as much as we do!
