Lovehoney Fierce Leather Look Lace-Up Black Crotchless Thong

Just not quite right, fit wise, for me

So, there’s good and not so good for me with this thong.

On the positives, it’s really, really open. There is no way this thong needs to come off for PIV, oral or anal. Everything is fully accessible. For me this is a big plus as generally I put on sexy lingerie and it’s off again before the action really starts as it’s in the way. Not the case here, it is fully open front to back.

The trim material with the eyelets and lacing in is excellent. It looks good, is comfortable and is also very sturdy. All the stitching and eyelets are neat and secure. The top band is fairly wide elastic and adjustable, in fact everything is stretchy.

However…

Size wise, I’d say my bum is a perky but rotund UK 14. I have this thong in “one size”. The elastic waist band is adjustable and I have it set on the loosest setting for a comfortable fit just below my waist. I don’t have a big waist so I’m going to say this one part might be very snug on a UK 16 and could maybe have been made a little longer. It will certainly stretch on but might cut in more than you want. The trouble then, is, even on this loosest waist setting the hip bands, not being adjustable, seem too long. This causes the sections of very stretchy polyester and elastane material (which I absolutely love in other pieces of the Fierce range) to look distorted, stretched outwards at the top and slack and wrinkled below due to the looser hip elastic. I just can’t get it to sit quite right.

From the back, it looks great. Everything is framed and the straps look great. From the front, I just don’t find it very flattering and if I don’t feel comfortable in something the mood it’s meant to create is lost.

I also have the Bra and Skirt set from this Lace Up Fierce range (in Medium UK 10-12) and I love that! It fits beautifully and makes me feel amazing. Look wise, this fits in well with that to make it either a bra set or a full three piece kinky outfit but generally I’ll leave this piece off.

In conclusion, I love the Fierce range, but this piece is not a highlight as the fit just doesn’t quite work for me.

Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Pros: Easy access everywhere, good material and make quality.

Cons: Tight on the waist, loose on the hips.

Bottom Line: It will work for some but the fit is not right for me.

Lovehoney Boudoir Belle Cherry High-Waisted Brazilian Suspender Knickers

Burlesque Babe

High-waisted undies are nearly always an absolute winner for me; there’s an element of comfort and security while, in this case with the Boudoir Belle Brazilian, looking absolutely beautiful.

The Boudoir Belle collection oozes class and elegance and luxury, and this Brazilian alone features the straps, lace and mesh to support that. Despite plenty of coverage, the mesh allows for a peak at the skin underneath, particularly of the behind, but what I enjoy more is the beautiful open corset-style back. Something about it is so incredibly sexy, it’s enough to have anyone weak at the knees.

As always, I appreciate the suspender straps being detachable. The piece looks incredible with them attached, particularly paired with some lace-top stockings, however I would happily wear without and it wouldn’t detract from the immense sex-appeal.

The deep cherry colour is one of my favourites too, and contrasts the black very well.

I’m a size 12 bottom and find no fault whatsoever with the fit of these. The materials hold plenty of stretch and sit across my hips very comfortably. The standard of quality, as always with Lovehoney, is very high. There are no loose threads or snags and the stitching is perfect.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Style, fit, comfort, colour

Cons: Nothing

Bottom Line: Classic, luxurious and elegant!

Lovehoney Boudoir Belle Cherry Suspender Thong

Boudoir Babe

The boudoir belle collection is absolutely beautiful – it’s classic, playful, and encapsulates a wonderful burlesque/boudoir style with straps, mesh and lace. Although this thong is potentially a small component to a put-together lingerie set, it has it all, bows n’ all!

I’m a size 12 bottom and find the thong fits very well. It has a good amount of stretch and sits just above my hips to allow a lovely shape. It’s comfy throughout with the materials being soft and gentle against the skin, and it’s evidently made to a high standard.

The pop of colour oozes luxury and contrasts the black of the rest of the piece. I also really like the colour on the ribbons. They look absolutely fantastic against a black pair of lace-top stockings! I also appreciate that the suspender straps are detachable so the thong can be worn on its own without getting dressed up; I’d happily wear this thong under every-day wear – it’s not only comfy enough but would feed me with plenty of confidence knowing I had something so sexy on underneath.

Overall, a stunning piece of lingerie!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: fit, comfort, colour, style

Cons: Nothing!

Bottom Line: Sexy and luxurious!

Lovehoney Fierce Leather-Look Lace-Up Red Leggings

Leather-Look Lusting

Any leggings that aren’t super comfortable day-to-day wear are new to me, so to receive these from Lovehoney was a very welcome and exciting addition to my collection.

I’m a size 12 bottoms usually although have previously had to wear size 14 with other brands, so was a little apprehensive receiving these in a size Medium. It’s handy to note that there’s an element of stretch throughout: the waistband is elasticated, the material is, and the criss-crosses down the sides of the legs are very stretchy too. Handling the leggings before putting them on eased my mind. Although they felt snug putting on, once I had pulled and twisted them into place, they sat comfortably. The waistband sits just under my ribs, almost cinching me in, and the materials sit close against my bum, thighs and legs.

I’m 5ft6 and the leggings sit on my ankles, although if I want them to sit a little higher I can pull them up slightly without the material bunching up.

I’d suggest not wearing underwear when wearing these leggings as you can see it through the open sides, plus there may be some VPL going on, however seeing the skin down each leg and also noticing no underwear is being worn may be quite the turn-on.

I find the materials can get quite warm after a while, although I’d totally expect that, and have experienced many times before, with wet-look lingerie and clothing. On the upside it’s easier to clean (and incredibly sexy).

The first time I tried these on I was wearing a black bralette and it paired wonderfully, and teamed with a pair of black heels… even better. There’s a lot of potential with dressing these up.

I wouldn’t personally wear these outside of the bedroom unless an occasion called for a specific theme or colour or the environment was suited, although I know many people who would wear these to go about their day or night. It may be a fun personal challenge for myself to wear the leggings out one evening…

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Colour, design, something different!

Cons: Nothing

Bottom Line: Very sexy, and something different to add to my collection.

Lovehoney Fierce Leather-Look Lace-Up Red Skirt

Sexy in Scarlet

I am a huge fan of many of Lovehoney’s Fierce Collection Pieces but this is my first in red. Those familiar with the pieces will know how incredibly stretchy and flattering the material is, stretching over and smoothing any lumps and bumps and the red is very similar to the black. Personally, I don’t think it’s exactly the same, the red is a little more matt, not quite as shiny and feels ever so slightly thicker and less slippy to the touch from the outside. It is, however, still extremely stretchy in all directions.

Onto make quality and this skirt is brilliant, all stitching and hems are neat and very secure. The eyelets are all in perfect placement and again, securely applied. The material used is super stretchy, including the elastic lacing which makes for a very wide ranging and flattering fit. The only non stretch part is the trim the eyelets are placed into and this is comfy and looks really great styled, in contrast to and complimenting, the rest.

Sizing wise, I am overall a UK 12-14 but very much a pear shape and bigger below than on top. My bottom and thighs are a generous UK 14. I have the black bra and skirt set in this same Fierce Lace Up Collection in a Medium (UK 10-12) and the fit is surprisingly fabulous all over but in just the skirt I decided to size up and try the Large (UK 14-16). Since, bar very slightly different material the skirt supplied with the set is identical to this one, I can give a clear comparison. For me, I prefer the smaller size option. Both look good, both stretch over my rotund bottom leaving it looking peachy, perky and smooth but the large, in red, is just a little big on me at the waist and not quite snug to my skin. In neither, the Medium or the Large does the material or lacing cut in at all, neither at the band on my thighs or my waist. I think it’s best to go with the sizes quoted but if you’re between sizes, I would advise you size down for the more flattering look.

I teamed this skirt with a silver, chain harness bra and the combination is great. The silver eyelets matching the chain hoops of the bra. It’s a very sexual look. In use, the skirt stays well where I have positioned it on my thighs, it doesn’t ride up or wrinkle and only comes up if my OH or myself pull it up.

I have definitely seen more revealing skirts on pretty much any student night out and at a Halloween Party this could certainly be teamed with horns and a tail for a very, very sexy devil look. This is a piece that, if you have the confidence, doesn’t have to be restricted to the bedroom though you might need more than a chain bra to team with it.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Great materials, styling and make quality.

Cons: No negatives.

Bottom Line: Extremely flattering.


Another where all reviews so far are agreed, 5* and really flattering. A great review write up from @Woolyfrog on the male figure fit as well if guys are interested :ok_hand:.

Blowmotion Hands-Free Real Feel Suction Masturbator

Sucking amazing!

TL;DR

This toy is a mystical monolith with convincing sucking action to quaff your cucumber! It has powerful dual rumbling vibrator which are surprisingly quiet. The internal ridges and bumps feel amazing especially when the suction is just right, it felt like getting sucked off by someone with a tongue piercing! It really made my toes curl and milked that one eyed snake for every last drop!

Full review;

Sorry if this gets wordy, but the way this works take a bit of explaining that wasn’t evident from the manual or product blurb!

The toy is packaged in a towering box which is adorned with evocative low-key photography and the promises of sucking your salami to satisfaction. I opened the box and was greeted with the obscure obelisk, about the length of my forearm, and has a decent weight to it. I put it on charge straight away with its fancy magnetic lead, and the buttons illuminated with a cycle of rainbow colours. The instructions say on a full charge it will last for 65 minutes of play (if you can last that long!).

Once charged, I familiarised myself with its buttons and functions. The ‘on/off’, ‘vibration’ and ‘sound’ buttons were easy enough. I was intrigued as to how the ‘suction’ buttons work and how this function is achieved by the toy. The manual describes how one button is ‘suck’, and one is ‘release’. I popped off the cap that protects the business end, and peered inside while holding the ‘suck’ button. What I could see was the inside walls of the masturbation sleeve actually squeezing together, while the ‘release’ button did the opposite.

From what I could gather, this works by blowing air in the cavity between the walls of the toy and the sleeve, increasing the pressure, which causes the canal walls to constrict. I was a little confused a first, because what was advertised as a ‘suction’ action seemed more like it was a ‘squeezing’ one. But actually there is a trick to it which I found after some time playing. I’ll elaborate in a moment.

I applied a generous helping of lube and pushed my perked up pork inside. Fair warning, when you push inside, the air has to escape, and let’s rip an almighty fart sound! It was pretty funny actually. Once inside I activated the ‘suck’ function, which is actually a squeeze action as discussed, and squeezes even more air out (with more fart noises!). The sleeve tightened around my cock and felt good to thrust inside.

I found that the suction actually comes with the ‘release’ button. I pulled myself out until just the tip was at the entrance, while still remaining an air tight seal. The ‘release’ button let’s out the high pressure and the walls of the sleeve can relax open again. If you know a bit of physics, you know this would now make low pressure which wants to equalise. It does this by filling that low pressure with… you guessed it! Your penis! Now as you push back inside you can also feel it sucking you in too! Once I got thrusting like this I could really feel the sucking feeling.

The schlong slurping toy has bumps and ridges on the inside, and there’s a specific spot I found where I could thrust in and feel a tight sucking section and a thud as the glans of my head popped through. It’s hard to describe but it felt like when my wife goes down on me and is bobbing her head, and the ball of her tongue bar is rolling up and down on my glans. Honestly, it feels divine!

Better yet was the auto mode when double clicking the ‘suck’ button. It cycles through the suck and release phases and varies the speed and patterns at which it does so, creating a convincing feeling of getting your snake siphoned.

Activating the vibrator is where this toy went from amazing to mind blowing! There are two powerful vibrators embedded in the sleeve, one mid shaft, and one on the tip. The rumble is like an earthquake while also being whisper quiet! The suction mode is only slightly louder, but not that loud at all. It’s actually quite impressive. In fact the fart noises as you first enter are louder!

I played though the various speeds and patterns while sliding the toy up and down my pole, and it wasn’t long before I was erupting like Krakatoa! I seriously came hard and physically curled up in a ball while this thing continued to relentlessly rock my rod and suck me off! My heart’s racing now thinking back to it and typing this.

Cleaning is very easy, just pull out the sleeve and take care not to tug on the wires to the vibrators. Take the vibes out of the pockets on the sleeve, turn the whole sleeve inside out and wash with sex toy cleaner. The outside body of the main unit just wipe down with a wipe or damp cloth to get any lube marks off.

The hands free sucker attachment is easy to use and sticks to flat surfaces like glass, tiles, fridge doors, etc. with incredible force. Having the option to use hands free is good as you can hold your phone for ‘inspirational videos’ at the same time. I used it sucked to my fridge and it was fantastic, it’s an exciting feeling when standing up, you can imagine you’re in doggy or someone on their knees in front of you! I thought being attached to something would make it louder like a sounding board, but it was just as quiet. My wife said she couldn’t hear it while in the bedroom above.

I’m not overly fond of the built in sound effects. The speaker is small and tinny sounding. You can plug in headphones but the sound isn’t that much better. I feel like if you wanted sound effects you’d get that from whatever porn video you’re also probably watching! I can’t knock any points of for it though, it’s optional.

Overall, I’d highly recommend this Blowmotion toy. It has high quality build and materials, and delivers unique experience with orgasmic results. Can’t wait to put my dick in it again!

Overall Rating: :star::star::star::star::star:

Pros: Beutifully soft sillicone canal. Deep rumbling vibrators. Convincing sword sucking action!

Cons: Not fussed about the built in sound effects.

Bottom Line: It sucks! But in the best kind of way! :wink:

Lovehoney Love Thruster Rechargeable Thrusting Rabbit vibrator

Thrust to Lust

Who knew a girls best friend would be 6 inches long, with a girth of 4.5 inches, and would regularly be taken to bed? This toy is difficult to beat.

The toy comes in the standard Lovehoney packaging we all know and love; punny, informative and easy-to-read. The toy sits inside with a safety guide, operating manual and a USB charging lead.

The instructions advise a full charge of 180 minutes giving 50 minutes of play so I put it on charge and eagerly awaited playtime. Once fully charged I got to grips with the toy, literally, turning it on and allowing it to do its thing in the palm of my hand. I was absolutely mesmerised watching the shaft extend and thrust and the beads rotate while the bunny ears vibrated and pulsed alongside.

The silicone makes it smooth and seamless, and the base of the toy is designed to provide a good grip while in use.

The controls did have me a little lost for a while; there are 3 buttons: one for power, one for the thrust, and another for the vibrations. One long press of the power button puts the toy into standby mode, then you use the other two buttons to control the other functions. In my hand, easy. While inside me, a little more difficult to remember which does what as I clumsily press all 3 buttons.

The thrusting function has 3 speeds although I don’t notice much difference between them. Regardless, it’s the best bit about the toy! There’s something about not having to manually control your pleasure that really hits the spot, literally. Just hold the toy still or secure it somewhere (tucked into the duvet?) and let it do what it does best.

The rabbit ears have 3 speeds and 4 patterns, and you can certainly feel the difference with these! They are POWERFUL. I always like my vibrations on a steady rumble however the patterns change things up a little, and I can turn the vibrations off entirely and keep the thrust going if I so wish, and vice versa.

The size is non-intimidating and perfect for beginners, and with some water-based lube, it slips in with absolute ease. The vibrations help with the comfort too.

Lastly, this certainly isn’t the quietest toy in the toy box… I’d recommend playing under the covers, with music on, or when the house is empty if you really don’t want to be heard. It’s predominantly the thrusting part of the toy that causes the most noise, however it’s totally worth it for the enjoyment it gives.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Pros: design, materials, vibrations, thrust!

Cons: got to get to grips with the buttons, noise

Bottom Line: an absolute joy!!

Escante Plus Size Black Ruffle With Me Heart Crotchless Knickers

Cute and cosy!

These are fairly cute, and the 18-22 fits me quite nicely (AU14), I can have the waistband sit a bit higher on my waist, but still be extremely comfortable. The material is soft, but the ruffles are structed, creating a flattering visual.

I found the tag to be super rigid and itchy, so that had to come off immediately.

I love the black heart details, it fits perfectly into the rest of my wardrobe, and the little red bow on the back makes it a little more cheeky for teasing my OH.

Even being a thong, I found it comfy to wear for long periods of time. The softness of the material means that it doesn’t dig in as I walk.

The front lace panel of the thong, although not too wide, is still enough to cover me nicely, and due to being crotchless, can be shuffled around in order to get the perfect fit.

In addition, having the back section split into two individual strings, allows for easy access, and is also super stretchy, so adjustments are never an issue.

I’ll definitely continue to keep this in my rotation, which for thongs is often a rarity. It’s light and comfy, perfect for short skirts and sundresses.

Product size:
One Size Queen
Pros:
Very soft, super comfy
Cons:
Itchy tag, a little finnicky to remove
Bottom Line:
A really cute, comfy crotchless thong

Lovehoney Fierce Leather-Look Lace-Up Dress

Unreal.

Another Fierce dress? Yes please. Make it mini, wet-look, and kinky.

At size 10 on top, 12 bottoms, 5ft6 and 36C, I received this dress in a size Medium. The sizing is quite precise considering the leniency it can give. The material is stretchy itself, but you can also adjust the lace-up back to give more or less room, plus the lace-up detailing to the sides is elasticated, AND the halterneck can be tied to whatever snugness you are most comfortable with. The dress is designed to be bodycon style so is a close fit. The dress sits just below my bum and hugs my body, almost providing a bit of uplift in the boob department.

I found the best way to put the dress on was to wrap it around me, zip it up and then secure the halterneck. After a little adjusting and pulling in the right places, it looked absolutely incredible. The wet-look and lace-up design on the hips is just… delicious. And then you turn around and see your bum and back accentuated and framed by the beautiful corset-style lacing and it is truly divine. The wet-look provides a shine to any curves and really draws the eye to them!

The zip and the halterneck are easy enough to secure on your own, and I’m sure, with some twisting or fancy hand-work, you can also secure the back tie, however I required a little helping hand to pull and secure to my desired fit.

The lacing, the silver eyelets, the wet-look, and even the front zip, all feed into the kinky, fetish-inspired vibe I absolutely love. A pair of black heels and an accessory (or two) work a treat alongside.

As always with Lovehoney, this dress has been made to a high standard with great quality materials.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: design, sizing, materials

Cons: nothing!

Bottom Line: a gorgeous fetish-inspired dress with endless sex-appeal.

Lovehoney Fierce Leather Look Lace-Up Black Long Sleeve Dress

Slightly Disappointing

It’s not often I’m a little disappointed in a Lovehoney piece, particularly from the Fierce range, but this just didn’t “do” it for me.

I’m a size 10 on top, 12 bottoms, 5ft6 and 36C. I received this dress in a medium. Putting it on was easy enough; unzipping it, putting it on (almost like a jacket) and zipping it up and shimmying it into place. The dress comes to just below my bum and the sleeves are a nice length, sitting on my wrists.

I love the wet look, and the fetish vibe that this dress gives off is everything that makes me weak at the knees. The light bounces off my curves (particularly my bum), and the lace-up details to the hips and back are sexy additions alongside the silver eyelets and zip. I like that the zip reaches the bottom of the dress, for both sex-appeal and ease of getting on/off, and the material has a rather good amount of stretch.

I have heaps of lingerie and I love to photograph my collection, but I really struggled to get any shots I liked of this piece. Not only does the material appear to crease really easily, but it doesn’t sit well on my body. It somehow flattens my chest while also appearing as if I don’t have big enough boobs to fill out the dress. There seems to be extra room in the shoulders which didn’t really sit and fall anywhere in particular, and as lovely as the wet-look looks on my bum, it kind of flattens it too…

I love the concept, and would love to see this dress on somebody with bigger boobs than me, however it just didn’t work for me.

Overall Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

Pros: concept, lace-up details, zip

Cons: sizing

Bottom Line: sexy in theory, not-so-sexy in practise.

Fantasy Mystique Unicorn Silicone Dildo (Coming to the UK site soon)

Mystique - My Magical Maritime Mermember :merman:

I spend a lot of time riding horses, I don’t want to have sex with them and I don’t fantasise about shagging a Unicorn. Thankfully, that’s fine, as to me this penis belongs wholly to a Seductive Selkie or Mindblowing Merman, certainly a sexy creature of the sea not an equine of the land. The base is shell like and the colours are straight from a living, vibrant coral reef scene. Yes, it’s gorgeous. I also love that it’s called Mystique, that’s a suitable name for my Merman’s mesmerising member.

Let’s get down to business though, the most important things for a mindblowing dildo. Feel, shape, size and function and this one ticks all those boxes.

Silicone has come a long way in the last few years. It used to be, if you wanted a dildo with squish, flexibility and comfortable give you had to get “soft plastic” which is porous and not particularly hygienic. Silicone was hard and not a feel I particularly enjoyed in my vagina. I like the give and more realistic feel of something that can move and flex with me, more like a real penis. I am thrilled to say silicone has now caught up. This toy feels incredible. It is very flexible and every swirl and bump has squish while still being plenty firm enough for easy insertion and to feel every bump and ridge going in and out.

You may have worked out, I also love the shape. The swirling molding feels truly fantastic and it is a full feeling. I am a fan of girth and this seductive Silkie is a well endowed guy who tapers beautifully for easy insertion. With the tape measure out, I make his head a 4.5 inch circumference and his final, insertable circumference a whopping 7.5 inches. His insertable length is also 7.5 inches which is more than enough for me. I haven’t been able to take all of him but that’s down to length rather than girth and it’s good to know there are goals yet to reach.

So far, I haven’t gone anal with him but I think I’ll have to as the ridges and bumps are begging me to do so and length wise he’ll fit better in my back door than my front. Full girth though, will be… a challenge! If you’re into pegging, he’ll work well with the right sized O-ring harness and will be amazing for the more experienced receiver and an excellent choice for anyone who doesn’t like the realistic penis look.

Finally, the suction cup is the best I have used. It sticks securely everywhere! The normal bathroom tiles, side of bath, bed footboard/headboard rails, coffee table, etc. But also, and this is a first for me, skin! I stuck him to my stomach and could walk around the house much to my amusement. I’m not sure that’s a practical use but it impressed me. I do love a good suction cup dildo as it leaves my hands free, one for clit stimulation and one for holding while sucking my OH’s cock. Wins all around.

In terms of the practicals, a little lube is needed due to his size but only a little as he doesn’t absorb it like some silicone dildos do, so a little at the start easily lasts a full session. High marks there. Cleaning is also a breeze, I use a squirt of the JO foaming sex toy cleaner and a rinse under hot water and leave him to air dry. Simple.

The packaging is not for me, pictures on all sides though with some amusing wording. I won’t be keeping the box and simple plastic insert which brings me to my only negative. He should come with a storage bag. He’s a serious lint (and dog hair) magnet so when not boxed always needs a wash pre use. I’ll be getting him his own fancy bag very soon to alleviate this problem.

My Seductive Selkie definitely satisfies me but if the Unicorn does it for you, then swing your leg over and get on but be aware he rides much bigger than he looks when you hit the hay together… (I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself!)

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Feel, size and flexibility. Non realistic look.

Cons: Should come with a storage bag.

Bottom Line: A deliciously, delightful dong.

Lovehoney Apothecary Arouse Scent Massage Candle 160g

Arouse (again and again)

I’m a sucker for the Apothecary range and would be lying if I said I didn’t own it all… with multiple purchases of each item.

The Arouse scent is beautiful; it’s warming and sensual and subtle. It’s a scent that doesn’t overpower or appear artificial.

The box the candle arrives in holds all the information you need for safe use. It’s worth reading and keeping, even just for storage between uses to save the wax from getting a little dusty.

First time using the candle, I didn’t wait to have company; I really wanted to try it on my own. I lit it and waited for the wax to begin to melt. It’s certainly worth lighting the candle in advance and not expecting immediate results. I left it on my bedside unit for a while and the scent filled the room, already setting the mood. The pouring part is much easier with two of you, however manageable on your own if you have a steady hand. I poured the wax into my palm and rubbed it between my hands before massaging over my arms and legs. I found I was able to massage for a while before the wax became a little claggy and clumpy, although rectified this by simply adding more and continuing the massage.

The sensation of the warm wax hitting the palm of your hands, or the sensuality of your partners warm hands running all over your body, is absolutely divine. I love receiving massages and find they either turn me on or send me into total relaxation, and this candle achieved both!

Clean-up was a bit of a task and required a few showers (slightly slippy ones at that…) to remove all the oil/grease. It left my skin feeling soft and smelling delicious though. Even after the massage is complete, I like to continue to burn the candle as the fragrance lingers and slowly fills my home with its scent (If I didn’t have extra Arouse candles, I may be a little more sparing but I just can’t resist…).

The pot is super cute too, with just the little Lovehoney logo subtly printed on it. Once the candle has been used it’d be lovely to keep, although when I asked Mr FYEO what we could use it for, a “mini gravy jug” was not the answer I was looking for. Although he has a point.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Pros: scent, jug… receiving a massage!

Cons: clean-up wasn’t too easy

Bottom Line: good enough to burn as a normal candle!

Lovehoney Parisienne Charm Red Lace Basque Set

Gorgeous.

Red is one of those colours that just never fails to impress. It is sexy, it is seductive, it is romantic, and it compliments my pale skin tone like no other colour can. What compliments it even more is a beautiful basque set, so thank you Lovehoney, as always, for making me feel fabulous!

At size 10 on top, 12 bottoms, 36C and 5ft6, I received this set in a size Medium. I can’t fault the fit. As I was on my own when trying this set on, I had to put it on backwards due to the multiple hook & eye fastenings on the back! I secured it, shimmied it around my body, put my arms through the straps and got comfortable. I also tightened the shoulder straps to remove a bit of the space left in the upper cups of the basque so my boobs filled them out better.

Speaking of the shoulder straps, they’re pleated! Little thoughtful touches run through the entire set, from the pleated straps to the leafy cups, the lace and mesh panelling, to the dainty charm and the keyhole centre. Even the subtle gold colouring of the suspender straps add a little pop and draw the eye.

The boning throughout the body adds structure and support along with the underwiring which sits comfortably. The perfectly thought-out lace panel adds shape to the body too, bringing the figure in at the waist. Although the cups aren’t necessarily padded, I still feel supported, although not necessarily lifted.

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the open-backed style underwear. I love the idea although it doesn’t always sit how you want with one strap sitting higher than the other etc. However, not knocking it because it looks good! It fits well too as there’s plenty of stretch, and the leafy lace pattern is very attractive.

As always, the set is made to a high, comfortable standard with all the materials being soft, durable and of high quality.

I paired this set with some red stockings that I tried to colour match as best as possible, however a nude pair would suit beautifully too!

Lovehoney Fantasy Officer Honey Police Costume

Officer Honey, reporting for duty!

Lovehoney have produced a very hot take on the police officer uniform. I adore the almost retro, classic feel to the basque, and the purple mesh and wet-look collar and trim contrast each other beautifully.

I received this set in a Medium. The mesh is stretchy and allows a really good fit for my size 10 top, 36C, 5ft6 body! I find there’s a bit of extra material around the shoulders/underarms regardless of how I pull it up and adjust it. This isn’t an issue at all but is visible. Other than this, it fits perfectly and the rest of the mesh sits snugly against my body.

I like the coverage the basque provides with its long sleeves while also allowing a glimpse of the entire body underneath through the mesh. The deep neckline adds extra sex-appeal, and the peek of the bum below the basque is just delicious.
The zip down the front allows for easy getting on/off, or easy revealing when Officer Honey wants to engage in some roleplay.

The matching thong is simple and fits well too. It sits under the basque without detracting the attention from the main costume. The utility belt is a great touch and almost splits the body up a little bit and draws focus to the waist. The pocket is small but I’m sure could fit some essentials in! I paired the basque with some lace-top black stockings personally, although wet-look stockings would look incredible, as well as a pair of handcuffs and maybe a cap?

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Colours, design, matching thong and belt

Cons: Nothing - just a very small sizing issue around the shoulders/underarms

Bottom Line: Very sexy. Will have people begging to be arrested!

TENGA Ultra Size Original Deep Throat Onacup

Loved the Sucking Sensation

For male masterbaters/strokers, I had only used the Fleshlight brand, so I was looking forward to using a Tenga stroker some day, but getting into this one, I had lower expectations since I knew it was a single use product. I thought it would feel cheap, but I was pleasantly surprised with the premium quality. When holding it, the plastic casing was sturdy, not flimsy, and it was nice and soft inside. There is a small hole on the opposite end after you peel off the little sticker that you can put your finger over to create a suction feeling (similar to my Fleshlight Go Torque’s end cap that can unscrew to adjust suction).

This was my first time using a blow job simulating stroker, and I wasn’t sure what to expect compared to the other strokers I’ve used. The texture (ridges and nubs) inside felt good but didn’t necessarily feel different, but the “mouth” opening was really different. When pulling out after plugging the air hole to create a vacuum, right inside the opening had multiple layers that would move independently and that’s what made it have more of a sucking sensation and feel more like a mouth.

It came with a small packet of lube, which I thought wouldn’t be enough because I tend to use a good amount of lube, but it was plenty for a single use. Unfortunately, the soft plastic is not removable, so there was no way to clean and reuse it. It’s recommended to use a condom if you want to prolong the lifespan of the toy for multiple uses, but I didn’t think of that until after I had used it. Also wanted to mention this single use stroker has 2 sizes, the Original with a 5 inch internal length and the Ultra Size with 7 inches.

Overall, I was very impressed with this Tenga, even as a single use toy. Even if the toy would deteriorate eventually after a few uses, I would have preferred being able to take the insert out to clean and reuse it to make it a better value for the price.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Really enjoyed the different layers/textures around the “mouth” opening and the suction felt great.

Cons: The soft plastic isn’t removable, so it can’t be cleaned out for repeated use unless using a condom.

Bottom Line: Amazing mouth feel. Wish the inside was removable out so I could clean and reuse it a few times!

System JO Foaming Toy Cleaner 200ml

The Pinnacle of Supreme Sex Toy Cleaning

I love this cleaner. It is infinitely better than the sprays and liquid gels you can get and is now the only cleaning product I use for my toys so please Lovehoney, restock it, as I hate buying elsewhere, but for this… I will!

So why is it so great? Firstly, it’s antibac, which a surprising amount of cleaners these days seem not to be. You only need a small squirt of this foaming formula and it expands to fully cover your toy’s surface getting into every nook and cranny without the wastage and inaccuracy you get with sprays. The pump dispenser is also extremely user friendly.

It has no offensive scent and rinsed off afterwards leaves no residue at all. I feel absolutely confident that my toys are clean and hygienic after cleaning. It is a large 200ml can and lasts a really long time, which, I think, makes it great value for money.

Please restock this product Lovehoney.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Antibac, no product wastage, no scent, no residue. A little goes a long way.

Cons: Nothing.

Bottom Line: The BEST sex toy cleaner you can get.

Lovehoney Fantasy Racing Heart Wet Look Nurse Costume

A Dose of Confidence

Mr FYEO and I aren’t ones for roleplay in the bedroom however a nurse may genuinely be required following his reaction to this outfit. The sexy nurse costume is a classic; one that just doesn’t fail to impress. Lovehoney have changed it up a little from the traditional white and red colour scheme and it works so well.

I’m a size 10 on top, 12 bottoms, 5ft6 and 36C. I received this costume in a Medium. The dress is super easy to get on, with the zip running straight down the middle. It doesn’t provide much of a stretch but is true to size and fits me just fine! The dress is rather short, giving glimpses of my chosen underwear (if I’m wearing any), as well as my lower bum. The sleeves are capped and the arm holes give plenty of room so you don’t feel restricted and can freely move for whatever activity you choose to participate in. The dress sits very close to my body and doesn’t tend to wrinkle or crease, and the attached suspender straps tend to keep the dress from riding up. I normally appreciate detachable straps but having these attached works really well, plus you can pair with black, red, nude or wet look stockings and all look equally incredible.

I find wet look materials really flatter curves, and the way the light just bounces off my bum, my hips, and even my boobs, is just to die for (but don’t worry, we have a nurse on hand to help…).

I love the chosen accessories! The belt, again, is a classic, and cinches in the waist while also adding an element for you, or somebody else, to strip off. The headband also adds to the classic look although I haven’t really put it to use. The costume looks stunning with or without it. I would personally like a thong or similar included as I had to go rummaging for one that matched the red to pair nicely with the costume however a black one works great too.

I own plenty of costumes but this has to be up there as one of the sexiest. Although I won’t be incorporating it into bedroom play, it’s Halloween soon and I can’t wait to dress it up!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Colours, design, materials, accessories

Cons: Nothing!

Bottom Line: A fresh take on the classic costume. Absolutely love it!
