Lovehoney Raspberry Flavoured Lubricant 100ml

Berry Nice

The first thing I did upon opening my Lovehoney parcel containing this lube was pump a little on the back of my hand and taste it. I can imagine the sweetness being a little overpowering in a large amount but a small blob massaged over your OH’s privates makes things incredibly tempting and hard to resist. If you have hesitations about going down on your OH due to smells or tastes, this is ideal.

It smells just as it tastes - like you’ve just walked into a sweet shop, full of fruity, sweet treats. It smells just like a pick n mix sweet but I can’t quite put my finger on which. I guess I’ll just have to taste it more…

The pump action bottle is my favourite for lube application and dispenses a good amount. We found 2 pumps was adequate to keep things comfortable, and were able to “re-activate” the lube with a little saliva. This was a little different for a handjob though and things dried out quicker and required more applications. It’s a good sized bottle; perfect for travel or hiding in the bedside drawer.

This is a great all-rounder for vaginal, anal and oral play, as well as solo, and, being water-based, you can use it with whichever toy(s) or condoms you want. I always consider water-based to be a safe option and don’t worry about any irritations.

After play, I find it quite easy to wash off toys/myself/my partner. I always wish for the raspberry smell to linger because it’s so lovely but it washes away!

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Pros: Smell, taste, bottle, water-based

Cons: Does appear to dry out quicker with solo play/handjobs

Bottom Line: Mouth wateringly good and perfect to have to hand for a number of activities.

Doc Johnson OptiMALE Extra 2 Inch Girthy Penis Extender with Balls Strap

Girthy and Versatile!

So … welcome to my very first Tester Review! I was very excited to have been selected to review the Doc Johnson OptiMALE Extra 2 Inch Girthy Penis Extender with Balls Strap, and so I shall do my best to review this most intriguing sleeve. It was my choice of those items offered for Australian reviewers, and it looked the most fun, despite me not normally being into sleeves or the like – I had the snip decades ago and so sex with my wife Sexterminatrix is almost exclusively bareback. The benefits of monogamy!

The only downside to this whole adventure is the 20+ days the item took to arrive. But that is the fault of Australia Post, not LoveHoney; perhaps if it had been packed with the consignment of Cartier watches, I would’ve received it in mere days, but here we are, and we must make of it what we may. Luckily, the tester period was one month, which means my testing obligations could still be fulfilled. Huzzah!

Arrival was plain and discrete as always, and the unboxing was laced with the usual carnal anticipation associated with New Toy Acquisition. Nicely plastic-sealed inside the proper packaging, I was bemused to glance over my new silicone toy.

The silicone was soft and squishy, with none of the stickiness you sometimes find with inferior silicone products and no discernible odour. There was a nice translucent motif to the item too – kind of when you look at a naked body through a shower room window; you can’t see anything clearly, but you definitely know it’s there. The sleeve is also very thick; not so thick that it had to repeat the second grade, but perhaps 60% of the thickness of a normal masturbator sleeve such as the Fleshlight Quickshot. There were exciting nubs on the inside of the sleeve to provide extra stimulation for the wearer, but the piece-de-resistance was undoubtedly the ball hoop/hole at the end to ensure the whole thing didn’t slip off you when you used it for its intended purpose, while additionally giving you an exciting tug on your balls when engaged in either intercourse or solo play.

The blurb on the box promises you an extra 2 inches to your length AND girth, which is believable given the thickness of the sleeve. Given that I am already around 6.5 inches, however, I was able to fill the sleeve to the end, meaning that length-wise there was no discernible difference. Girth, on the other hand… at last measurement, I probably sit about 5.25 inches as far as girth is concerned, however with the sleeve equipped this flexed me out to an impressive 7.75 inches. The expression on Sexterminatrix’s face when she saw the measurements was priceless, as it was when we got down to business and during test-driving the sleeve, as one orgasm after the other slammed into her. At one point I had to wonder if I was testing a penis sleeve or breaking in a temperamental magic carpet, thinking my weight was the only thing that was keeping her from flying through the roof. My wife does like a bit of girth as a rule, so of course individual experiences may vary; but suffice to say that it was a very positive test result, one that Sexterminatrix is very eager to repeat as soon as she recovers from this experience!

For our first usage, I omitted the lubricant from the inside in order to increase the stability of the product for penetration, and for my wife it was like I had instantly thickened by at least 2 inches (turns out, it was closer to 2.5). The sleeve was right-and tight, as they say, with no slippage issues, however I needn’t have worried as, being a closed sleeve, the suction would have been more than enough to keep the toy in place. A little later, we applied some lube to the inside as well, which made things even more interesting as the internal nubs came into play for me, whilst effectively randomizing how thrusts were received. Sometimes, I would slide in and out of the sleeve, and at other times the sleeve would follow me out, and so neither of us were sure what would be felt or when, which is an awesome way to switch things up without having to change position or even rhythm. That, of course, didn’t stop us from trying new positions, but the potential is there for stimulation changes without additional effort, which can be a boon for couples with limited mobility/flexibility.

For someone who doesn’t use sleeves, or even condoms (except for occasional anal play), I’ll give this a solid 5 stars. For sheer variety, novelty and fun factor, it’s hard to imagine this sleeve not being in our repertoire anymore, and is a solid contender for being the new favourite toy for a good while to come. Highly recommended…!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Wonderfully thick, enhances girth as promised; ideal for partnered or solo play; ball strap/hole provides great stability to the product while simultaneously providing a delicious ball-tugging effect. And did I mention the girth…?

Cons: Unusually thick, weird-looking when worn, especially if length isn’t added to girth. But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing per se, merely visually different.

Bottom Line: A seriously awesome, multi-functional addition to any toy box. A must-have.

Womanizer Premium Eco Smart Silence Clitoral Stimulator

Loving Our Planet IS Orgasmic

Let’s get straight to the point: I love this toy.

It arrived in true Lovehoney fashion: quickly and discretely. Inside the plain outer packaging sat the Womanizer box. “Loving Our Planet can be Orgasmic” is printed on the sleeve of the brown box, and no truer words have ever been spoken. The sleeve provides plenty of useful information that I… absolutely definitely ignored to begin with because I was so keen to get my hands on the toy. I slipped the sleeve to the side and opened the box, pulling off the hygiene seal. There is a simple how-to printed on the packaging, and beneath is further instructions, a change of head and the charging cable. Next to it sits the toy in a simple, thoughtful, cotton drawstring bag which has a little tag attached which I later discovered is a handy tool to remove the casing for a battery change.

I had a little inspection of the toy before charging it. Never has a toy felt like it belonged in the palm of my hand like this one. The biolene material, which is totally biodegradable and recyclable, is smooth throughout and the pink is just beautiful.

I put it on charge using the magnetic charging cable. Being pink, brown and white, it fits with the colour scheme of the toy and its packaging and makes a change from the dull black wires you normally get. It also fits in with being eco-friendly, boasting a shorter wire to save materials (and my time untangling). It indicated it was charging by flashing which then stopped and remained on once fully charged.

I soon got down to business.

Before reviewing this toy, I made sure to road test it a few times. And by a “few,” I mean every time I got into bed each night… and many times in between.

Incredibly easy to use, you hold the + button to turn on and increase suction, and the - button to decrease suction. Again, holding to turn off. It’s so simple to operate, even in the highest throes of passion.

I always apply a little lube before play time then allow my Womanizer to find the right spot. The first intensity level is very gentle, very comfortable, and for a slow solo session is great. If you have a particularly sensitive clit, also great! I’d say the same for the following 2 levels. I tend to find my favourite is the third. The fourth is a bit of a jump but is still comfortable. I’ve not yet mastered too much direct contact with the others (of which there is 8!).

The Smart Silence technology is always handy when trying to be discrete, although with increasing intensity levels, the noise of the toy also increases and isn’t so subtle. Similarly, the Pleasure Air Technology is the beauty of Womanizer. 95% of my orgasms are through clitoral stimulation (and 100% of those have been thanks to this toy since receiving it).

Despite so much play, I still haven’t yet had to recharge it, however the instructions say the LED will flash slowly to inform me.

From the packaging to the toy bag, the charging cable to the instructions, the small touches like the tab to the toy itself, it all screams top, high-end quality while taking a massive step towards turning our orgasms green.

Lovehoney Desert Princess Costume

Arid Charm

Thank you Lovehoney for sending me this set to review.

The royal colours go well together and the purple complements my pale skin nicely. It’s an overall flowy piece with soft and light materials. The way it was designed makes it look appealing from every angle. Open back, legs on show, low riding waist and bold colours to boot. My partner couldn’t wait to give it a raunchy road test after I showed him the full thing.

I needed assistance with the bra as it’s just all straps like a bikini top. It looked great on, though! Comfortable, too. The cups covered my small breasts pleasantly and had enough material to hide the nipples. It took a little fiddling to figure out which way up to wear it as the edges of the cups were different shapes. After my partner tied it once, I didn’t have to undo and start again as it held the knots even after it got washed. Because there’s a lot of straps (including the hip ones), it was easier to twist them when you moved about which is expected.

I was worried about the long skirt at first since I’m only 5’1 with short legs. Thankfully, it’s a few inches off the floor for me. Yay! No concern of tripping ass over tit then. Glad I didn’t have to lift it up with heels as I think it suits my bare feet more. I like the way it covers the front and back of my lower half but keeps my legs on show from the side. Very sexy look that doesn’t reveal all! The straps on the hips are adjustable and as a UK size 8, I had them tightened all the way. Not too loose on and it wasn’t falling off me. It rides low to show off your belly like an exotic dancer. One thing I will say is that the gold part there is quite baggy. Reminds me of a little pouch or bum bag. It’s not that distracting, though. The long skirt made it cumbersome during sex as the last thing you want to do is put your hand or knee in the wrong place and rip the thing. So if you are going to keep it on you have to be extra cautious.

The thong is attached to the skirt but still manages to sit comfortably. If you want to keep the skirt on during sex (and why wouldn’t you?), then it has to be pulled to the side. This can make it a bit awkward and there’s a chance of chaffing against it when thrusting. We both enjoyed our time with it, but think it would have been better if the thong could be removable.

Ugh! I hate the collar. It’s just a bit of fabric with a Velcro fixture at the back. It doesn’t even line-up properly. The outline goes in around the edges of one side (like a bone shape). So if you wanted to make it tighter, you would have more exposed Velcro popping out on the opposite side. This was a nuisance as it kept pulling on the back of my hair even when I done it up in a high ponytail to keep it out the way. Boo! Kind of an eyesore. It also spun around my neck easily which would ruin the look a bit. I took a bunch of photos and was disappointed to see that the collar had shifted halfway through to make it look like I was wearing a tacky bow-tie or something. My advice is to scrap the thing and just use a proper collar - even a pet one would be better than that.

As it’s one size, most of the parts are adjustable in some way. One thing that did noticeably hang loose were the wrist cuffs. They’re stretchy to get over your hands, but there’s no real way to tighten them. I tried to use hair pins and then quickly gave up. I’m not falling out of them, but they don’t have a feeling of restraint either. Oh, well. It’s just for the look of the costume anyway and they aren’t supposed to be practical. The chains attach to the rings on the hips and you can remove them, too. I like the rattle sound they make as they move - great when it comes to lovemaking. They’re metal and not the cheap plastic kind. Can’t be too rough as yanking them may pull them off your wrists. Their length meant you still had a fair bit of free movement, though. In the same way as the collar, if you don’t like them you can always take them off or replace with something you may already have to be more practical.

As the thong is attached to the skirt, it means the whole thing basically has to be cleaned. Of course, it gets super dirty if you pull it to the side during sex. Instructions say to hand wash it, but I stupidly thought it would be safe on a gentle wash cycle in a mesh bag. Both the bra and skirt went in and they didn’t come out unscathed. Oops! It seems some of the gold parts have lost their shine a little. More of a “dirty gold” now, but I like to think of it as ancient gold to go with the theme. Some gold flecks also got on the rest of the material to add a bit of sparkle. Sort of turned a fail into win there? I don’t think the cuffs and collar will need to be thoroughly cleaned in the same way. A wipe should deal with those.

Overall, we both liked this set but agreed it’s not as golden as it appears. The bra and skirt are great by themselves and has a more belly-dancer vibe to it this way. While the cuffs and collar complete the slave look, they also reduce the enjoyment and dare I say cheapen it. All for show and not that practical so it depends on how you use it. Still very alluring and adds to those sex servant fantasies. Throw me to the dungeon, please!

(My photos here)

Overall Rating: 4/5

Pros: Sexy from every angle. Bra and skirt strong by themselves. Light and flowy. Lovely colours.

Cons: Velcro collar. Loose fabric cuffs. Thong is attached to skirt. Baggy pouch. Cleaning care.

Bottom Line: An alluring set. Just wish some aspects were better. Luckily, the base design can carry itself.

Doc Johnson Silicone Flogger Whip with Dildo Handle

Squid-deesh!

I can’t say I’m exactly into whips and chains, but I do like unusual toys like this. When it first arrived, it wasn’t in its own box - just its sealed bag. Going by the product page, it looks like the box is super long so I can understand why it wasn’t sent in it. I’m not that bothered about this because I always get rid of my boxes anyway. However, it may be something to be aware of in case this was intended as a gift or something.

It can take a bit of practice to flick your hand right to get that whip feel and hit with accuracy. The silicone is exquisitely silky and bouncy so even the tails tend to go all jiggly when they move. But don’t let the material fool you. The weighted ends hit with an almighty thud and can really sting! It’s like being punched by a jellyfish. A more gentle approach is more my thing. I like sliding and wrapping the tassels over my body in a tickly but sensual manner. The dildo/handle is comfortable to hold, too. It’s probably unintentional, but it reminds me of a small squid alien thing when I look at it. I don’t mind a bit of Hentai (or Tentai, in this case), so this with the “tentacles” can add to those other worldly vibes when they’re coiling all over you.

It’s a bit of an odd design choice to put not one but two brand stamps right on the dildo head. I understand this also works as the handle for the whip, but I still think these should have been more out the way. How about near or under the base? Luckily, I can only feel these brandings with my fingers and not my vagina. Even though there’s seams, they are barely noticeable. I actually thought it was seamless at first. I can feel more of the dildo head than the bumpy shaft as it seems thinner there. Girth is more my thing, so I don’t find it the most filling of toys. Despite it being half naughty flogger, I think the dimensions of the dildo are quite beginner friendly. It’s still stimulating - I just want more of it! The flared base rubs my opening the right way so I don’t even need a clit vibe to climax. If you can manage to get your fingers between the tails on the base, it will give you a bit more control and turn it into a decent little thruster.

The area where the tendrils connect to the base is probably the most awkward bit to get into to clean. I can’t reach it with my trusty toy brush, but I can slide my fingers in between for better access. Because everything is jet black, gunk and lint really stand out. At least I can see them easily when the toy is dry so I know where to focus next time, right? Drying the toy is less hassle, though. I usually leave things to air-dry on top of a paper towel on my chest of draws. The four tails can be a bit cumbersome, but they can bent around or left dangling over an edge. I suppose it depends how and where you dry it at the end of the day.

I think a dual use whip dildo is a cool idea. It’s great quality and all that, but the dildo part just doesn’t fit my personal taste in size. So that means that it’s more enjoyable as a whip than an insertable to me. I just wish they were equally as fun as one another. Packing as a whip, but lacking as a dildo.

Overall Rating: 4/5

Pros: Quality. Whip power. Sensual tendrils. Comfortable to hold.

Cons: Cleaning. Dildo girth. Whip needs practice. Brand stamps.

Bottom Line: Double trouble, indeed. I just wish the dildo part was bigger since I’m greedy.

Lelo Ora 3 Rechargeable Luxury Clitoral Pleasure Stimulator

Lickety Clit

The Ora 3 comes in a lovely gift-worthy box and includes its own swish storage bag. The toy itself doesn’t come with a manual so you will have go online to the Lelo site and download it instead. This was easy to do on my smartphone, but could be a nuisance if you didn’t have one. The PDF is simple with clear text and illustrations to follow. I found it funny how the box included instructions for the sachet of lube but not the main toy. It arrives in locked mode, so you will definitely need some guidance (or luck) to unlock it. Another thing you can do while you are on the site is to register the toy for the 10-year guarantee to get 50% off a replacement item if faulty. This again was quick and easy to set up and worth doing just in case.

The Ora 3 may look luxurious, but I was surprised that the soft silicone body isn’t fully seamless. One seam runs near the buttons and the other is on the licking area. Luckily, I can’t feel these seams during use and is more aesthetic than anything. It lubes up nicely, but can get slippery at times so hold on tight! It’s lightweight and feels comfortable in the hand. It’s also waterproof, so cleaning or bathroom play are more care-free. The only mildly tricky parts to clean are the buttons and plastic-to-silicone gaps.

Charging is simple; just put the prong in the hole. The wire is tiny, though. When charging, the insignia shape around the buttons flashes on and off - how fancy! The battery life isn’t the best and only seems to last about 4-5 sessions. It will flash briefly when the power is low during use, but it doesn’t give you much warning before it goes off.

Sticking your fingers in the centre hole makes it comfortable to hold and allows your thumb to easily access the 3 buttons. The middle button flips through the patterns and the top/bottom ones increase or decrease the intensity of each when you hold them down. The intensity change is more apparent in the vibrations of the toy than in the rotating nub. I enjoyed the constant speeds and several of the consistent patterns. There were some patterns that seemed to be almost random, so I tended to avoid those. For patterns with a pause, the rolling nub would fill in the gap so I was surprisingly able to climax on a few of those.

The nub can roll in a circle or “C” pattern and with or without vibrations. The vibes are pretty rumbly and satisfying. Sometimes I don’t know if it was the vibrations alone, the nub or both that brought me to climax. Using the toy without vibration was fun for foreplay, but not enough to orgasm for me. The toy will remember your settings when you next turn it on. This can be convenient if you have a favourite that you enjoy going back to.

The worst thing about this toy is the noise. I’m used to the general hum of a vibrator - even when it’s pretty loud. I can keep calm and carry on. While this toy does have a loud vibration sound, it’s the other whirring wail from the tongue that makes it very off-putting. It sounds like I’m being eaten out by a distressed fax machine. My personal solution is to ram my headphones in as they can block out almost anything. This probably isn’t the best if you need your ears for other things, though. Just like nails on a chalkboard, I can’t seem to get used to this noise.

The new licky-licky sensation does take some getting used to. I think it’s about finding the right position more than anything. Sometimes the tongue will feel like it’s barely there, and other times it’s unmistakeable depending where you hold it. The size and shape aren’t too fiddly if you’re just using it by itself, but pairing it with a penis/dildo can get cumbersome. I found it was easier to hold a dildo with my arm going under my body than over it. It seems the Ora just wants to hog the clit area which can make things more limited.

It makes a good attempt at oral sex, but it still doesn’t compete with the soft wetness of a real tongue. Saying that, it does make me have more oral sex fantasies when I masturbate with it. The rolling nub has a slight press and flick sensation. This can get quite over-stimulating, so that’s why it pays to practice with the position, power and setting. I found after getting in the right position with a favoured setting that I climaxed quickly and easily. The first few times were a definite learning curve, so it was good to figure out what worked and where. Letting the tongue roll over my clit right after I came felt amazing and it even seemed to prolong those pleasurable aftershocks.

I think I’m in the middle. On one hand, the licking sensation can feel great and prolongs my orgasms. But on the other hand, the noise makes it the most irritating toy I own. For such an expensive brand, I expected something a bit more fine-tuned. However, if you can work around some of its flaws and put in some practice, it can turn into a tasty bit of tech.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5 (original score before site update)

Pros: Storage bag. Easy to clean. Presentation. Rumbly vibes. Licking sensation. Lightweight.

Cons: Nub’s whirring noise. Battery life. Takes practice to use. Cumbersome with other toys. Wire.

Bottom Line: With practice, it’s a great attempt at oral if you can stand the noise.

Lovehoney Sensual Glass Glow-in-the-Dark Dildo

To the Moon and Back

When I learnt I was going to receive a glow in the dark glass dildo from the ever generous Lovehoney to test, I expected something overall greenish opaque similar to my silicone one. However, what I received was truly out of this world! The adorable crescent moon on top gives me serious Sailor Moon vibes and the general shape/size is not intimidating. The glass body is flawless and that beautiful internal whirlwind of stars will leave you spellbound. Another plus is that it comes with its own velvet storage bag.

Even though the glow-in-the-dark flecks look gorgeous by themselves in normal light, it’s the darkness that really sets this worlds apart from other toys. The flecks give off a lovely green glow - it makes me feel like a goddess holding a tiny emerald galaxy (albeit a phallic-shaped one). Twirling it around is quite mesmerising, to say the least. It also lights up against your body when it’s close, giving it a haunting hue. This is quite the show if you have a lucky viewer or just enjoy watching yourself. For glow-in-the-dark items to really shine, they require light to charge the particles. Leaving it to lie on my window sill before using it really made the colours pop under the sheets. When I didn’t put it near light and used it, it still had a decent glow - just not as dazzling.

This being a fancy glass toy allows you to experiment with temperature play. I only like my toys warm, so it was easy for me to simply put it in a sink full of hot water for a few minutes while I got prepared for playtime. It warms up nicely with the water and even with my own body heat. Another thing about glass is the obvious weight. I personally love this as it gives the thrusts an extra oomph factor. However, this paired with the rigidity of glass can feel uncomfortable depending on your position or thrust power. I didn’t have any issues with it other than slightly grazing my cervix during deep thrusts (not in a painful way, though).

You can use any lubricant you want with glass, but I prefer water-based lube and my own natural lube with it. A small amount goes a long way and helps it really glide. After use, it was super easy to clean with some toy cleaner. The only tricky area is the tight gap where the moon is attached to the base. Extra caution is needed with wet glass since it can get slippery and I would never want to drop such a lovely specimen as this. I then leave it to air-dry on a paper towel for a while. Because of the round base, it does have the tendency to roll a bit. A good tip is that it usually rolls until the back curve of the crescent is facing the flat surface it’s on; so if you put it that way to begin with, it shouldn’t roll around too much.

I usually don’t enjoy straight rigid toys, so I’m surprised this one brought me to my knees. The bumps that make up the shaft are quite stimulating (especially between the two bigger ones). They even feel nice to tease with or run along your body. My go-to is to build up slowly with the first two bumps before taking the last one in - magic! The added oomph from the weight of the glass can make this an ace thruster, even with minor hand movements. Not only that, but the inner base kisses against my external area for bonus stimulation. Even without a clit vibe, I can climax quite easily with this toy alone. Things like length and girth didn’t really register to me because I was wholly satisfied with this galactic gem. I mainly go for larger toys, but there is always a special exception, isn’t there?

Despite it having an odd lunar handle, it is easy to hold and control during use. For one, just putting a finger on either side of the crescent and doing a “come hither” motion created quick, shallow thrusts. This works especially well when I’m laying on my front and not using a clit vibe. When I’m laying on my back, I grab it by the crescent tip and thrust that way. This would sometimes make it hit at more of an angle, but I think that’s what I liked about it. Using it this way kept my hand way out of the way from my clit vibe hand which was convenient. The weight didn’t tire my arms out either way I held it. Not having a huge base also enables you to basically use a clit vibe of your choice without anything feeling in the way. Because of the rigid glass material, using a rigid clit vibe was still very doable, but there were a few mini pinches here and there so using a softer vibe is probably better for added comfort. My favourite combination was with my soft ‘n’ squishy Tracey Cox Wand. One word: Nirvana.

Overall, this is an astonishing astral wonder. There’s not much I can really fault it on. It feels as good as it looks - heavenly inside and out. Plus, watching yourself play in the dark is very sensual and fun. If you enjoy the classic traits of glass, then it’s sure to make you see stars.

Overall Rating: 5/5

Pros: Looks beautiful. Glow power. Stimulating shaft. Control. Easy to clean. Storage bag.

Cons: Slippery when wet. Can sometimes roll around on flat surfaces.

Bottom Line: Turn off the lights and turn on the magic!

Lovehoney Bed Ringer Rechargeable Double Cock Ring

A Bumpy Ride

I bought this as an upgrade to my cheap battery cock ring that hardly gets used. This ring feels well made with good quality silicone that is silky to the touch. However, the main vibrating part is bulky and weighty which can turn it into a bit of a clitoral battering ram when you’re under it. Oof! This is one of the reasons why I prefer to be on top of it.

Charging is simple: just put the metal prod into the large hole and you’re done. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge and the playtime is more than generous from this. The light will flash blue as it charges and will stay lit when it’s full. During use, this light doesn’t come on, which makes it less of a distraction in the dark.

The vibes are pretty strong even on the lowest setting. I can’t really handle powerful vibes, so I mainly stick to the first 2 speeds. These vibes can run through a penis/dildo slightly for some extra stimulation that can be especially nice for teasing. They are also more on the buzzy side, so may not be for everyone. Speaking of buzzing - is that a giant hornet I hear under my duvet? No, it’s this cock ring calling out to the rest of the colony back at Lovehoney HQ. This thing is loud for its size.

I thought the nubby texture on the front could be irritating on my clitoris, but thankfully, it’s not (for the most part). With a sufficient amount of lube the nubs are intensely stimulating - even when it’s switched off. It feels good to grind against and it’s another reason why I enjoy being on top. I can’t seem to get as much out of it the other way.Due to the nubs and buzzy vibes, being in contact with it when climaxing can be uncomfortable as my clitoris becomes extra sensitive at this time, so I have to be more careful with the pressure than usual. This isn’t to say I have trouble climaxing with the ring - far from it. I like to use it switched off for a while before turning it on for the big finish which doesn’t take long.

The rings are stretchy, but still have a good amount of firmness to suit their purpose. My partner didn’t have much issue getting them on - it was getting the ball hoop off that was the tricky part after we’d finished. He got better at this the more times he used it, though. You don’t have to use the ball hoop as putting both of them around a shaft will still hold firmly enough without moving around too much. Sometimes I can feel the ring/rings at my opening which can give me extra sensation…or extra pinches. I like using this toy to spice up some of my dildos, too. Being on top of a dildo with a handheld clit vibe can be very awkward, but it’s pretty effortless with this. It may not feel the most comfortable in the hand, but it will get the job done in the end if you want to use it as a general handheld clit vibe as well.

When my partner wore it, he was as hard as a rock! His penis also felt bigger and more textured to me. It made him last a lot longer than usual which made me exhausted for once. He was very pleased to say the least. Because the ball ring moves them slightly closer to my body, I noticed that his balls were brushing a little against me - this didn’t seem to discourage him, though. From his point of view, he said his climax felt more or less the same as it does when he’s not wearing the ring. His sensations were also dulled, but the fun part of the ring for him is seeing my reaction to it and it’s worth it just for that. When he is on top, the ring can feel way too over-stimulating for its own good, so I like to be in total control of it. My clitoris is also a “righty” and it’s easier for me to get that angle when I’m on top.

Even though it looks like the button is in the danger zone of being accidentally pressed, I’ve never had any issues with it. It’s easy enough to slip your finger around the back to switch settings during use. I noticed that there’s a small delay in the button response by about half a second. It’s not a big problem, though. There’re plenty of patterns to play around with, but I prefer the simple constant or consistent ones. A couple of the patterns I like are near the back of the line-up, so I have to keep pressing the single button to get all the way there if I fancy them.

This cock ring isn’t bad to clean, but some areas need more attention than others. You will definitely need a brush to get into the nubs and tight nooks where the rings meet up. Luckily, the toy is waterproof, so it makes the task less of a hassle. Sometimes I worry about the big charging hole and the toy being ruined if water got in, but nothing bad has happened. Thank you, technology.

Overall, this is a fun ring for partner and solo sex. For me, I really had to be the boss with it otherwise it can be too much to handle. Even though I prefer to ride it with my partner/dildo, it can still be versatile and enjoyable. It’s a bumpy ride, but in a good way.

Overall Rating: 4/5

Pros: Quality feel. Rechargeable. Made partner bigger and last longer.

Cons: Combination of buzzy vibes and nubs can feel over-stimulating. Loud. Bulky and heavy.

Bottom Line: A fun ride toy for partner or solo sex.

Lovehoney Rechargeable Remote Control Large Love Egg

Egg of Arousal

The egg itself feels well made while the remote seems to be on the cheaper side. However, both of them have a pretty swish design and colour scheme. The egg has some weight to it, making it also useful for kegel exercises. Despite its size, it sits in the vagina comfortably with the aid of that silky silicone skin. You could easily forget you’re wearing it - this can make it even more exciting if your partner turns it on out of nowhere to give you a joyous jolt! I like this potential element of surprise. Insertion and removal can feel a tad troublesome without sufficient lube, so always make sure to use a generous amount. The cord feels strong, but is soft enough so it doesn’t irritate when being worn. You can easily retrieve the cord with a finger or two after use. If you have trouble finding it, you can also use your vagina muscles to help lay the egg.

The egg is rechargeable and uses the prong and self-healing silicone method while the remote uses a button battery - it would have been nice if both were rechargeable. The egg seems to last longer than the 40 minutes stated on the box. This could be down to me mainly using 2 lower intensities, though. Interestingly, the egg has 2 lights instead of 1 making it look like it has a pair of glaring eyes. These lights will pulse and brighten to match the vibration patterns/intensities and flash during charging or when on low power. You may not be able to tell if the egg is on low battery or not in time because it could already be inside you, flashing away. The egg needs to be awakened to standby mode before it will be responsive to the remote. It’s alive!

The remote is small enough to hold discreetly in the hand and is accessible to the thumbs. The controls let you flick forwards/back between the patterns and increase/decrease the 4 intensities of each setting. The response time between the egg and the remote was decent within a short distance of about 3 metres or so. Anything further than that or going behind a wall made it lose connection. It won’t reconnect again until you are in very close proximity with the egg and pressing the remote buttons a few times.

The egg has a single button which lets you use it without the remote. However, the egg settings don’t match up to the remote settings. Starting with the egg button will automatically put it on the highest intensity. But if you turn it on via the remote, it will start on the lowest intensity. Pressing the egg button continuously will only allow you to flick through the patterns and there appears to be no way to change the intensities. If you press the egg button after using the remote, it will also go to the next one except on the highest intensity. So if you lose or break the remote, you will be stuck with a very powerful vibe. This may not be a problem if you love strong, buzzy vibes, but it could end up being unusable for those that can’t handle them (like me). Maybe an extra egg button for intensity would have been a good idea? Just take care of that remote for your own sake.

My partner enjoyed being in charge of the controls and he couldn’t wait to enter me… with the egg still inside! It was such a huge turn on. However, my partner said that the cord can sometimes irritate his penis and the vibes on his tip can be slightly over stimulating. During one session he somehow managed to press the button on the egg with his penis, changing the setting. I didn’t think he could reach it. Odd. Sound-wise, it’s not over the top (especially on the lower settings). I don’t think it could be used that discreetly unless it’s in a noisy place.

The deep vibes get me going in no time. They tend to be rumbly on the first two intensities and buzzier on the last two. I don’t like 2-in-1 patterns in general, but I enjoy the constant and consistent settings this egg offers. The combination of size and power allows the egg to stimulate a wider area. For example, it can still stimulate my clitoris if I hold it in my opening. The constant pressure from the size and pulsing vibes feels amazing for me! I’ve started calling this technique alone Egg Sex. Alternatively, it can be used as a clit vibe itself or even paired with another clit vibe while the egg is inserted. How versatile! The orgasms feel great against it, too. Unfortunately, the vibes can numb your fingers if you’re taking a while.

The egg is pretty easy to clean after use with some toy cleaner and running it under a tap. Dirt tends to get stuck in the indentation marks of the silicone and the cord base - a little brush should sort these tricky areas out. A simple wet wipe will do for the remote.

Many thanks to Lovehoney for sending me this to review. Overall, I’m really taken with this egg. The versatility is really impressive: kegel weight, clit vibe, internal vibrator, PIV sex buddy and Egg Sex device. More than eggs-pected!

Overall Rating: 4/5

Pros: Versatility. Comfortable to wear. Deep low/mid vibes. Fun partner play.

Cons: Egg and remote controls don’t match up so pretty useless without it. Quite noisy.

Bottom Line: A great versatile toy. Just don’t lose the remote!

Seven 'til Midnight Red Sequin Crotchless Butterfly Thong

Love this revealing strappy thong!

I wear size 2/4 US, 5’00” with a 27” waist and 35” hips , and I bought the one size (2-10). I wanted black, but it was out of stock, so I got red. I like this thong, and the fit is perfect. It’s super strappy, and the butterflies are cute. I like the way the straps in the back look going across my butt. I can’t get the butterfly in the back to lay flat like the LH model, but it’s ok, I guess it’s just like it’s flapping its wings : ) The material and straps are comfortable and stretchy, but not soft. The sequins would be scratchy if they were up against my skin, but they’re on the outer side of the thong.

The two straps from the front start at the bottom of each butterfly wing, so there’s good open access to my clit (some of my other crotchless panties, the opening starts at or below my clit). I wear it higher in the front if I want my lips (labia) to hang out more, and if I want to be a little more modest or coy, I can wear it lower and pull the bottom of the wings to go down along my labia instead of spreading on each side. The two straps from the front connect with the three straps from the back halfway up the back, so it’s not really open for anal play unless you pull the straps to the side. Even though the two front straps seem like they’re supposed to run along each side of my labia then up the crack, they kinda just go to the center right across my vagina, so they need to be pulled to the side or held open if he wants to get in there. Because of that, I haven’t kept them on for piv or anal sex, just foreplay.

Whenever I put them on, I usually have to really examine them first to make sure they’re not inside out and that I put my legs through the right straps. I definitely can’t put them on correctly on in the dark. The only thing I don’t like about them is the label. It’s sewn in on the front of the panties behind the butterfly, and the label is long so if left on, it juts out past the edge of the butterfly. I wanted to rip out the stitches to cleanly remove the label, but it wasn’t clear which stitches were just for the label and which stitches were actually holding the panties together, so I ended up cutting the label off instead, but I couldn’t get it all off cleanly, and you can still see the stitched on bit of it when I wear them (which is annoying to me, but my husband doesn’t seem to notice or care). After lots of begging (from me), my husband tried them on, and the straps fit him just fine (he’s 6’00” with a 32” waist). It was hot to see his junk hanging out beneath the sequin lined butterfly, but he prefers them on me. They’re easy to hand wash, and since they’re so strappy, they store up pretty compactly. I’d recommend this thong if you’re looking to frame up your cheeks and put your labia on display!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Cute sequin lined butterflies. Revealing open access to clit. Super strappy.

Cons: Not really open access to vagina and anal play without holding straps. Label stitching and placement.

Bottom Line: Very sexy thong to put on a show for your partner!

Coquette Crotchless Fishnet Panties

Completely open access to the goods!

The fit is perfect. I wear size 2/4 US, 5’00” with a 27” waist and 35” hips, and I bought the one size (2-10). While I definitely prefer the look and feel of black lace lingerie when I want to look and feel sexy, these panties are my comfiest and most convenient crotchless pair because they’re just so comfortable to wear and the opening is so big and wide for any type of play (the opening starts above the labia, since you can’t tell from the LH model’s picture, and goes up pretty far up the back). The mesh is really soft and stretchy. The elastic around the waist, legs, and butt has plenty of stretch and is very comfy. They typically stay pretty clean because the material is far enough away from where the action is happening (and that’s coming from someone who gets lube everywhere), and when I do clean them, they’re very easy to hand wash and spot clean. My husband prefers my other panties and lingerie because they’re more visually appealing to him (lacy/strappy/wet look/etc), but he still really likes these because of how big the opening is and because they’re soft when he’s holding my hips or feeling the tops of my cheeks.

If you like taking sexy pics, be forewarned that it’s hard to get a good booty pic in these panties unless you get the angle and lighting just right (which I haven’t been able to so far), because the mesh texture on your crack comes out looking blurry and warped. You can even see it a little on the LH model’s picture, but it’s worse in my pictures since I’m an amateur : )

Love these panties and highly recommend them!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Wide opening. Soft, stretchy and comfy.

Cons: No complaints, just still trying to get a good booty pic : )

Bottom Line: Love these comfy, easy access panties!

Lovehoney Black Lace and Fishnet Thong Teddy

My husband’s favorite of my lingerie so far!

This teddy doesn’t fit me perfectly, but I love it because it’s so sexy! I wear size 2/4 US, 36C, 5’00” with a 27” waist and 35” hips, and I bought the one size (4-12). I wasn’t sure if it would fit because I have a shorter torso, but it arrived looking tiny and stretched to fit me as I pulled it on. The fit around the edges are good (around my neck, back and legs), but it bunches and wrinkles a bit on my sides and stomach (although it seems to do the same in the LH model’s pictures). You can tell it has a lot of give to stretch to fit different body types. The stretchy material is very soft with delicate black floral designs and netting. I do worry about snagging when putting this on and taking it off. The netting down the center is especially delicate. While the material does hug my curves, it doesn’t give much support or lift to my boobs. If you position the material just right, you can get the darker flowers to cover your nipples, but with any movement, they’re easily visible through the netting.

Where the neck material connects to the thick tie ribbon, the stitching is awkward, mainly because it’s connecting a soft netting material to a firmer silky material. The stitching isn’t done poorly, but it visibly puts a lot of strain on the stretchy netting side, so I think that’s the first spot on the teddy that would give out (so long as I didn’t accidentally snag or tear the netting). Also, even when brand new, the edges along the top of the back, around each side up to the neck, and around the legs already looked like they were fraying a bit.

My favorite parts of this teddy are the edging that goes around the front of my neck like a choker and the revealing netting that goes down the center of the front and back. My husband absolutely loves this teddy on me, and it really riles him up. When I’ve given him the option to choose my lingerie, he’s chosen this one every time so far. He likes the floral design across my body and thinks it looks elegant. Because it hugs my curves, he loves to feel up my sides and down around the back. The fabric going down over the crotch and up the back is stretchy, like thick pantyhose material. Not open crotch, but it’s easy and comfortable to pull to the side when he wants to get to my privates. It’s not the easiest piece to clean. I spot clean when I can, otherwise hand wash. There are some quality and fit issues, but I still really like this teddy and recommend it!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: The floral design, the netting going around each side, and the revealing strips down the center.

Cons: Fraying edges. Material is delicate and easy to snag. Not the easiest to clean.

Bottom Line: A very sexy piece. Great stretch to fit different body types!

Icicle no. 88 g-spot glass textured dildo with removable suction cup

Stuck on You

If you like textured glass, this is definitely one to consider. Lube is a must though as the ribbed glass is intense to use and for me really needs it to go from almost too much to brilliant. The shape is fabulous and somehow manages to be pleasingly filling without overdoing it, mix this with the fact it hits the g spot perfectly and its a really great design.

The toy is really well made, feels solid in the hand and the glass is great quality. I also liked that the glass section is removable and, with the bump on the base, very fun to use without the suction cup element. due to the shape, the base can get quite slippery at times if you use it like this and i did find myself occasionally wishing it had more of handhold. its much easier to handle without the inconvenience of the suction cup getting in the way though and the texture is also nice to use externally. especially as this is a really fantastic toy to use cold and seems to hold its temperature better than others I’ve tried.

The silicone is quite rigid and hold the glass element nice and strongly. I never had any issue with it accidentally dropping out, though removing it to clean and reinserting it where a tad tricky. The suction cup itself is reasonably strong and stuck to ceramic, shiny or varnished surfaces very well, though it just wouldn’t grip unpainted wood well enough to work attached to my headboard sadly. The tab also makes removing it much easier, which on anything shiny is definitely very helpful.

Despite the ridged section needing a bit of extra attention, the entire thing is reasonably easy to both dismantle and clean. Unsurprisingly it takes a bit of convincing to remove (and reinsert) the dildo from the base. But the silicone section is in one piece and very simple to wash, though the inside part can take a while to dry. like all glass, not dropping it in the sink is sort of important, and i found the shape surprisingly slippery to hold when washing. So you definitely need to be a take a little extra care once its soaped up.

Overall i really liked this toy. The shape is just brilliant and As much as i wish the suction cup was a little better, it didn’t detract from my enjoyment of it. Definitely one i’ll be using again.

Satisfyer Royal One App Controlled Rechargeable Vibrating Cock Ring

Vorsprung Durch Technik!

Just wow! This cock ring is extremely high quality, I’m very impressed. After learning Satisfyer is a German company I had high hopes for their design and engineering reputation, which they deliver and more! You can tell they are confident since they’ve given this a 15 year guarantee!

The design of the shape is really pleasing to look and the premium quality silicone is gorgeously silky to the touch. The way the toy charges is via USB with magnetic contacts on the top. It’s super easy and love it compared to the more common ‘headphone jack’-looking thing that feels like you’re piercing the silicone to charge it.

The toy has a nice hefty weight to it, enough to know it’s packing a decent sized motor in there, without being to heavy when worn. Pressing the shiny silver mode button fires it up and straight away it lives up to my hopes of being a strong rumble of a vibrator! None of this piddly little buzzy nonsense that wouldn’t tickle a gnat! It’s also pretty quiet too. Not silent obviously but under the covers and behind closed doors, no-one else in the house would hear it. It genuinely feels amazing for both me and the missis. My rod is like steel with it on!

There’s 10 pre-made modes that cycle with the mode button which can be used like any normal cock ring. But the unique point here is that you can expand that with the Satisfyer app with Bluetooth control! I have to say the app is actually fantastic. It’s similar to the Lovense line of toys and app but I love the Satisfyer app much more. The design of the UI is gorgeous, and there’s a finer grain of control for vibration intensity.

There are so many different modes to try and you can put them all together in any order, intensity, or duration in a super easy to use playlist editor. There are modes for live control, pattern looping, sound/music reactive vibrations, save your own patterns, share them… The list goes on.

You can also connect up with other users over the internet which it’s great for a long distance partner where you can chat and control toys. Again, since this is a German company, they are hot on the topic of privacy and data protection, and as a privacy advocate myself I was happy to hear that all communication through the app is encrypted. The same can’t be said for Lovense. Well done Satisfyer!

Also, let me just say how impressed I am with the box! It’s got some brilliant packaging that is high quality and well thought out. The box is a hard cover and opens like a book. There’s a silky ribbon tab that lets you easily open the case which is secured by a little magnet. Inside the case in another box with a clear viewing window that displays the product inside. This inner box has a hygiene seal tear off strip before you can open it. It’s really nice to see something like that so you know what you are getting has never been touched, and reduces the need for plastic shrink wrap.

Everything about this toy has been extremely well thought out and overall I can’t find a fault. Really impressed and so is the wife!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Gives me a steel rod. Feels amazing. Amazing app. German engineering and privacy values.

Cons: Not a fault

Bottom Line: Hands down the best cock ring I’ve tried!

Lovehoney Position of the Week 52 Sex Positions Book

A must have for the bedside table

A fantastic compendium of sex positions! The silhouette style graphics are excellent and are easy to visualise, and my wife and I had a lot of fun looking through (and trying!) them. There are a couple of positions that on first glance look the same, but they are in fact different on closer inspection. No need for hours of reading; straight to the point description is all that is needed, but it does add some tips and tricks here and there. This is a cute little book about hand size and a finger width thick. The hardback cover has a silky satin feel lovingly adorned with debossed lettering which boldly shouts it's name. Each page is brightly coloured alternating pink or blue with a double spread feature of a sex position illustration and description. I like that the various degrees of difficulty appear in no particular order which keeps things fresh. Be warned though there are a couple of acrobatic moves in there that may end you up on the floor in a pile, laughing!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Love the style of the illustrations! Easy to follow

Cons: Nothing bad here

Bottom Line: Excellent way to add some variety to the bedroom.

Lovehoney Quiver Tingling Lubricant 100ml

A tempting tantalising tingle!

Took a little to get used to, but it's an exciting feeling of added stimulus to sex or masturbation. It's hard to put in to words what this sensation feels like. I would describe it as halfway between the tingle your skin feels when you get into a hot bath, and the tingle of a chilly winter breeze on wet skin; both of these but without the temperature aspect. It takes a coupe of minutes to build up the effect but you know it when you feel it! But it's not overly in your face either.

The lube water based so are safe with all sex toys, don’t stain, easy clean and slippery! The bottles are nicely sized for travel with the benefit of a cap that clicks over the pump. I like that they are clear and easy to see how much is left. Confusingly the descriptions on the back say “for external use only” but, c’mon, this is lube… probably just to cover all bases if someone were silly enough to put it in an open wound! I’ve used this lube perfectly fine as normal with no issues; just thought I’d mention it.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Good tinglies but not too over the top

Cons: Nothing

Bottom Line: Great for giving heightened sensations for sex or masturbation.

Lovehoney Fierce Wet Look Cut-Out Mini Dress

The LBD with the Greatest Sex Appeal

This dress is incredible, it makes me feel so sexy and I adore everything about it. If you’re considering it, I have no hesitation in saying, “Buy It!”.

I love the Fierce range generally as I find the sizing is very forgiving both up and down due to the great fabric. I am generally a size 12-14 so right between the sizing options. I am pear shaped with a big bottom and thunder thighs but a narrow waist and only 36A boobs. I have a bra set from the Fierce range in medium (10-12) which fits well, however, I am quite regularly referred to as Popeye by my girlfriends, I have big shoulders and very big muscly man arms. As a result, I was recommended to go for the large (14-16) in this dress and I’m so happy I did. It’s super stretchy material so although it could be smaller for me across the chest (somewhat) and belly (certainly) it doesn’t look baggy and is still streamlined over my body. It fits perfectly over my bum and hips, I should add I’m 5’9" and it sits just below my bottom, however I wouldn’t want it any smaller on my arms. In this area because there is less material area it is less forgiving so if you have big arms I would say size up rather than down.

Now the actual dress. It is gorgeous. It is very well made, no errors in stitching, no loose seams and as I’ve already mentioned a flattering material that I love. It’s easy to put on, having a full length zip down the front and a comfortable bra style fixture in 3 adjustable lengths at the neck, it would have been better for me if this went slightly tighter though. The material moves with you and skims every bit of you in a great way and being touched through it feels wonderful.

I admit, on me, for full on visual sex appeal… it looks better with a push up bra underneath but that still only takes me to maybe a C cup and it looks amazing then so even small boobs look like killer cleavage with the framing this dress produces. Honestly, in real life it looks so much better than it appears to on the models.

I have worn this dress a lot in the month I’ve had it and it is now a firm favourite. I don’t tend to wear any other underwear with it as it just feels so good with nothing spoiling the silhouette and the ability to have your nipples tweaked through it is essential. Thankfully it still looks good even with very small boobs underneath. I think this will look great on most people but if you’re in that divine hour glass figure set please buy it, you’ll look incredible.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: The material, the cut, the look, the feel, everything!

Cons: The neck setting could be a little tighter.

Bottom Line: Sensational, I adore this dress!

ETA I really do think this flatters a slightly larger body more than it does the model as I believe, excluding the chest area that it is too big for the model. I think more appeal occurs when it skims every inch of you.

Firefly Glow-in-the-Dark 1 Extra Inch Penis Extender 9 Inch

Girthy Blue Monster

The main attraction of this extender is the fact that it glows in the dark! The glow effect isn't particularly strong unless you hold it under a strong light source for a couple of minutes. It's not quite glow stick level of bright and you won't be lighting up your room with it, but once your eyes adjust to the dark it's got a soft blue glow like a bioluminecent jellyfish or something. Admittedly it's pretty cool, but the room has to be pitch black or you won't really see the effect.

The extender is made from a stretchy and flexible TPE. It’s got a smooth but grippy plastic feel, the kind that makes your finger skip as you run it down the surface, rather than the silky feeling of a silicone toy. This isn’t a bad thing, just different. One bonus to this is that it can be used with any kind of lube, even silicone based which lasts longer during than water based!

The material walls are quite thick (about 7mm according to my measurements) which not only helps support it’s shape for penetration but also adds to your girth (about 4.5cm diameter). The extra girth definitely adds a wow factor for my wife and loved the full feeling and came to climax easily! The thickness means you feel less intense sensations as the guy, so that definitely delays things if you’ve problems with being premature or the Mrs just wants to go longer! Personally I found it hard to finish and we ended up doing some mutaul masturbation afterwards which is still fun of course.

The shape is a minamalist penis shape on the outside with no ripples or veins and the head is pretty thick and stiff. The inside of the shaft is completely smooth too. I would have liked to have had some textured ripples and bumps on the inside like a flesh light to make things more interesting as the wearer.

This product, despite being titled as 9 inches (because that’s total including ball loop) actually has an insertable length of 6.5 inches. The inside shaft is also 6.5 inches so check your measurements. Just something to be aware of, but I’ve come to expect that from these types of product. Luckily there are other sizes available. Sometimes it’s more about how things look that get you in the mood. It definitely looks big and impressive when worn and got the Mrs lusting to penetrated by my big blue shaft! It’s certainly a bit of fun

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Pros: Funky blue glow! Safe to use with any lube, even silicone. Adds extra girth.

Cons: No internal bump or ripple textures for the guy.

Bottom Line: Orgasmic for the Mrs but you may need a hand to finish afterwards. Still pretty fun all around

Lovehoney Curve Cruiser 10 Function Remote Control Rechargeable Prostate Massage

Get the Mantric vibrator instead

First impressions of the toy were good. The toy has a good looking bulbous head with a wavy shaft. The silicone is lovely and soft to the touch with no seems. There is a single opening in the base in which a bullet vibe is already inserted. Curious to see it, I attempted to remove it from the toy, and managed but with great difficulty. The bullet vibe is quite substantial in size with a good weight to it. The vibe has a soft silicone button on the side of the base, and the very apex of the base has a charging point. This is one of those types where the charger has to 'peirce' through the silicone to charge, and then re-seals when taking out, meaning it remains water proof. It was a lot easier to replace the bullet vibe back in the toy but it does leave a bit of a seam when fully inserted which could be a nuisance to clean without fully taking out the bullet again.

The remote has an attractive curved leaf shape and a nice smooth feeling texture, however it does feel disappointingly light weight. At first I couldn’t figure out if it was rechargeable or needed a battery. The remote has a single hole which I thought looked like it must be for a little screw to hold the two pieces together, but it really was a hole to insert the charger. I doubt the remote is water proof since there is nothing to seal that hole. So while you could play with the toy in the shower/bath, you couldn’t use the remote. But I couldn’t say for sure since there are no instructions.

Unfortunately the construction quality of the remote seemed pretty cheap. The single soft silicone button clicks upon press, however the first time I pressed it, it was like whatever is holding the silicone button flush with the rest of the remote’s surface, snapped inwards and left it indented. The button is still clickable and works, but it’s now permanently inset and not flush. Turn the toy on and you’re greeted with a glowing light from the bullet, letting you know it’s ready to use with the remote. There’s no need for an on button on the remote; just a press and you start to cycle through the patterns and intensities. The vibrations are reassuringly strong thanks to the chunky bullet.

Keeping the toy inserted is it’s downfall for me here. I can place it in as far as I can, but it never makes it all the way. It’s like it’s forward curvature is too much and starts to press too uncomfortably and perhaps painfully if trying to fully insert.

Strangely, the front part of the T bar rests right up flush with my perineum, indicating it is fully inserted, but the rear part of the T bar sticks out and some part of the shaft is exposed. That seems like it needs to tilt forward to make it fully inside, but again the problem is the forward curvature makes it too uncomfortable to do that.

Because of this, the toy is impossible to hold in place on it’s own since it’s sat there at the widest part of the shaft and will slip down. And in fact, to reach the P-Spot for me, I need to take it out slightly anyway, but then the trouble is by that point most of the shaft where the bullet is, is outside the body and the vibrations aren’t conducted so strongly all the way to the tip. Unfortunately this just isn’t the toy for me. It’s just too much hard work to use and keep in, meaning it’s hard to get relaxed and comfortable enough to have fun with it.

I really can’t recommend this product, when for (at the time of writing) £2.50 more you can get the Love Honey Mantric rechargeable prostate vibrater, which I personally own and absolutely love. It’s much more premium feeling and has two fully integrated vibrating motors, perfect shape to keep in and walk around/sit down with, both fully waterproof toy and remote… it’s a no brainer. I have also reviewed it so check it out.

Sorry, Lovehoney. The Curve Cruiser misses the mark this time.

Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

Pros: Soft Silicone

Cons: Won’t stay in. Uncomfortable. Poor remote. Can’t use standing.

Bottom Line: Get the Mantric instead. It’s only a few quid more but way better!

Mapale Wet Look Cut Out Body

It’s a crotchless transformer

Absolutely loved seeing my wife dress up in this. So amazingly hot! I thought wet look material wouldn't be very breathable against skin, so I was worried that she might feel a bit uncomfortable and sweaty. But actually the material is amazing, it is perfectly breathable yet somehow manages that wet look shine.

The stitching is very high quality and there were no rough or scratchy seems. And I didn’t know at the time I bought it, but the crotch part can be unfastened separately for fun times while still wearing it!! Thumbs up from us both!

The cut for the fabric is very flattering and conforms to every curve and bodily contour. It strikes just the right ratio of fabric and “peep holes” revealing skin beneath to leave you wanting more of what’s hidden. The front bust is like a built it push up bra and made my wife’s tits look even more amazing than usual! The lace-up behind is gorgeous and extremely lustworthy! I’d never seen her in wet look lingerie before, and now I’m a massive fan. She paired it with some wet look thigh highs I bought her and I was blown away with the look. Definitely had lots of fun with it!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Breathable, crotchless options.
