I remember when the Lovemoiselle line first came out. Ohh, did I want the Noemie.  The minute I saw it I wanted it.  Somehow, I ended up with the Aveline and the vibrating Cecile but only just recently broke down and got myself the Noemie.

I? Am very glad I did.

All of the Lovemoiselle ceramic pieces are beautiful but the Noemie really appeals to me on an aesthetic level; her creamy white body, the lovely plum colored flower that embossses her shaft, her gentle curves all beckon me in a way none of the others do.

I particularly like her for gentle, slow, thrusting penetration while manually stimulating my clit.  There’s just something about her that begs to be used with fingers, not other toys.  It’s easier to feel her, to focus on the subtle sensations and sleek surface when you’re not distracted by something buzzing away noisily in the other hand.

The Noemie is, as mentioned, ceramic.  Ceramic dildos are very similar to glass.  They are firm, unyielding, cool and sleek and frictionless to the touch with an odd combination of feeling both sturdy and delicate at the same time.  Like glass, ceramic sex toys are created to withstand a fair amount of banging around but can break if you drop them.  Remember to check the surface each time you use your ceramic toy to be sure the integrity hasn’t been compromised, that there are no scratches, cracks or chips.  I have five different ceramic dildos and, so far, have not had a problem with any of them.  I store them in lightly padded bags either in a drawer, a toy chest or an over the door shoe rack (the pocketed kind) so they don’t get banged around.  You can use any lube you like with the Noemie though if you choose silicone, use a bit of care near the silicone plug in the end of the Noemie.  I haven’t had any issues with it reacting but there is always the chance.  Try to stick to really good quality silicone lubes, water based or natural oil based lubes to be most safe.

Clean up is incredibly easy; the Noemie can be sterilized by wiping with a mild bleach solution or boiling (though you want to avoid rapid changes in temperature so don’t go from fridge to boiling water) or you can simply wash it with soap and warm water in the sink.  Her surface has no real texture other than the curves so lube and secretions wash off very easily.

The Noemie is a fairly thick, substantial dildo.  It measures 8.5″ long with an insertable length of 7″ – meaning you can insert as much of it as you like but will need to leave a bit of it out to hold on to and thrust with.  It has a maximum diameter of 1.5″ – which is average to me, since I tend to buy most of my toys in that size range, but may seem a bit thick to a beginner or a bit small to someone who prefers very large toys.  She starts out with a slightly tapered tip – not pointy, but tapered enough to make insertion easy without being a danger to the cervix. (I really hate pointy toys that try to stab my cervix.)  She bulges out gradually but swiftly to her full diameter and the largest part of her shaft is the first four inches.  I like this, since that’s the main part in insert – I have a shallow vagina – and I’m not really a huge texture fan.   She then dips back in and immediately back out for a bit of a bulge, then back in and out to the base.  If you can insert almost her whole length you’ll feel these dips and bulges as a very gentle texture, just enough to stimulate the vaginal entry but not enough to be painful at all.  It’s a shape, more than a texture, if that makes sense.

The flower decal on the Noemie runs the length of the toy and can be felt if you rub a finger across it but not while in use.  I believe it’s painted on then baked in, because I can’t scratch it off even with effort.  I’d imagine a coarse cleaning pad might damage it so don’t use one!  Also, the silicone plug in the bottom is situated quite firmly. I cannot pull it out without ripping it so it’s a good, tight fit and seals the inside of the toy, keeping water and lube from getting inside.

The the Noemie is hollow, the walls seem quite thick and it feels substantial yet light in the hand.  It’s not a heavy toy but it feels comforting and thick, rather like a favorite coffee mug as opposed to a favorite wine glass.

The Noemie comes packaged in a nice, windowed, black cardboard box – pictured above – with a thick foam insert into which the toy fits perfectly.  It is actually difficult to get out of the foam so be gentle and take your time.  It’s packaged to keep it from breaking and it does the job very well.  You can use the box for storage, though the Noemie also comes with a nice, velvety drawstring bag that is tucked under the foam insert and I tend to use that.  Less bulky and easier to get to.

Ceramic is incredible for temperature play and tends to warm a bit more quickly – and retain more heat  - than glass.  Again, think coffee cup vs drinking glass.  I prefer to use it at room temperature or run it under a bit of cool water and feel it warm to my body temperature as I use it but you can also run it under warm water and start out toasty warm and comfy.  I do not recommend putting it in the microwave or freezer since extreme temperature changes can damage it but you could put it in the fridge for an extra chilly sensation or a bowl of ice water.  You can even take it in the bath with you – though please use care as it does get slippery in water and I’d hate to see it get dropped in the tub.

I know ceramic often looks sort of boring to many compared to the flashy beauty of glass but, seriously, give it a shot.  It’s a feeling unlike any other – similar to metal, wood and glass but not the same.  As I mentioned earlier, for me, it’s a great toy for slow, manual masturbation and gentle thrusting that builds into a long, strong orgasm.  It’s a toy to take my time with, to indulge in, not something I reach for when I want a quick wank.

It’s for sensual me time….  and I love it.
