Has anyone else been genuinely surprised by a Lovehoney product they didn’t expect to love?

For me it was the Romp butt plug. I went in with fairly low expectations and a bit of apprehension having never owned a vibrating butt plug…and it ended up being one of those items that completely altered my views on sex toys and pleasure. It was love at first vibration, I genuinely cannot imagine it not being apart of my collection :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I’m curious what surprised other people. Was there a toy or item you bought on a whim or as a beginner option that ended up becoming a favourite? Or something you thought wouldn’t work for your body, but did?

The Womanizer X Lovehoney Pro40. I didn’t expect much at all. Thought it was a gimmick. I didn’t read any reviews or do any research on the product. I remember using a 25% OFF birthday discount code, and just buying it.

Now my whole opinion on sex toys has changed.

I do more research, which I didn’t do. I realised not every sex toy needs powerful vibrations, with a million settings and sometimes gentle, it is just as good, if not better :blush:

Yep, the simple metal glans ring. They are easy to put on and take off, come in different designs and are relatively inexpensive.

You can wear them throughout the day and feel great. Provides the occasional feeling of pleasure when they move, keeping me horny!

Actually it’s quite a new product but the Lovehoney Heart Duo — I knew the licking side probably wasn’t going to be for me but I thought the suction side seemed too shallow to be any good. I kid you not, I saw bloody stars!

I wrote a more thorough review here, if you’re interested :slight_smile:

@WhipSmart I just ordered one of these myself. I didn’t really have any expectations. And like you, I never owned a vibrating plug like this. Now I am very much intrigued, and full of anticipation for it to arrive so I can try it out. I’ll let ya know. Thanks.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed trying sounding rods for the first time!

I’m a fan of sounding rods

@AJSTAR What was it like? I’ve often been intrigued about sounding but as I’m only just starting my adventures, it seems a little advanced for where I am right now.

Same question to @CandB_Toy_Story Care to share more details?

The metal ones are brilliant! And total untapped pleasure points what most guys squirm at the thought of trying!!

First time can feel a bit weird but once you get over the barrier of it and ease in, it actually is very pleasant and can make you precum loads.

I’d always say use metal rods with the proper sterile lube. Some guys even get a full orgasmic climax just by sounding!

Are the sensations felt throughout the penis, or just at the tip as you ease the rod in?

So curious as to how it feels!

I feel the sensation right the way down. Great sensations all the way down my shaft, tingling and intense.

As @AJSTAR says, it is not for every penis owner as I get that the concept of putting a metal rod down your penis can be off putting. Sterile lube, cleaning the rod before and after and going slowly are essential. You cannot force anything. I can get pre cum and also orgasm through doing it. A metal rod should also slip down slowly under gravity and that is a great feeling and look. I have a small selection of metal rods. I really like it and get a lot of pleasure from it, so perhaps one to try when you are ready.

After using a rod you may experience slight stinging when you pee for the first time but that goes.

Definitely throughout for me it was! There’s even a point when it gets further down that it stimulates something good!

Thanks @CandB_Toy_Story @AJSTAR for your thoughts, Sounding has intrigued me since I first happened across it, it’s something that does make me horny thinking about it.

I hadn’t even thought about the rod slipping down by gravity, I kinda assumed that there would be a gentle amount of pressure used, seeing as the entrance would be rather restricted.

So as the rod gets deeper, does it also make the penis feel full, enlarged or something different?

Actually the entrance is the least “restricted” bit. For me it makes my penis feel full and if the rod is ridged you get ripples of pleasure as it goes down. It’s hard to describe the feeling, but it is good :blush: and different from external stimulation

Thanks @CandB_Toy_Story Your comments are really helpful!

It does feel like something I would like to try as I continue my new adventures

Oh my goodness absolutely not. Although I actually did it once by accident with a teaspoon. Hope this doesn’t gross anyone out, but it is the reality of life with a medical condition.

During the worst phimotic conditions prior to my operation last spring, once a week I used to clean between the glans and the non-retractible foresskin with a special spoon reserved for that purpose in lukewarm salty water. I’d bent the very end at 45deg to get into the gap.

Anyway you’ve all guessed what’s coming, one day when a bit blasé over it and rushing, I wondered why all 4” or so of the handle had disappeared rather than the usual 3/4” and I thought I’d somehow pierced the shaft skin and expected to see a huge wound.

Errr no, when I realised it had gone fully inside I was almost sick. Then had to face the prospect of pulling it out……. Luckily no harm done, but not something I want to revisit again soon :rofl:

A total game changer honestly, it’s definitely intense but in a very good way. My partner could feel it too, so it really just enhances and amplifies everything. I even emailed them asking them to develop more sizes :face_with_peeking_eye::face_exhaling:

I hope you like it, feel like I’ve definitely raised expectations haha!

Desire Luxury Beaded Stainless Steel Dildo.

Absolutely amazing. Never even thought about stainless steel items until I got some kegel balls and loved the weight. This thing is heavy, and I have never tried anything like it. It is great at changing temp between hot and cold. Basically indestructible and will last forever.
