Lovehoney Complete Sex Toy Care Kit (3 Piece)

Essential to any collection

I ordered this product recently when I saw that several offers applied to it, so I was able to get it at a fantastic price. Lovehoney has the best offers and promotions of any adult store that I’ve bought from. It’s amazing what you can get for your money here.

I had already purchased each of the products in this kit in the past, so I knew what to expect, but for those who haven’t tried any of these before here you go:

The lube is my go-to lube. It doesn’t have an odd smell, it’s smooth and feels natural, lasts ages and doesn’t dry tacky or sticky. You get a good amount in each bottle. I bought this kit because I like to keep well stocked, but my first bottle isn’t even a quarter gone yet and I use it all the time. The pump function dispenser is really useful, a lot easier than the ones you have to squeeze. I love this lubricant.

The wipes are easy to use, clean really well, don’t smell too chemically and are very convenient. If I clean with the bottled sex toy cleaner it takes far longer than just getting these wipes out, so I’ve decided to use these more often. I you can’t be bothered to go to the sink to clean your toys ater every use keeoing some of thse close by is a great idea.

The storage bag is large enough to contain a rabbit or something sizeable like that, or alternatively lots of smaller toys and essentials. It’s a product that may not seem that exciting compared to other things you can buy on here, but you will doubtless find a use for it. I have several now and it has helped me organise my toys so much.

Even at full price this kit is a great bargain compared to how much these three items would cost if you bought them individually. If it’s reduced or part of any promoion or offer I wouldn’t hesitate.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Great variety of high quality products, great value for money.

Cons: No complaints.

Botom Line: Great for keeping your toys at their best, buy it!

Lovehoney Classic Mains Powered Magic Wand Vibrator

Hole-y Grail

Having spent years of buying batteries and burning out motors of traditional vibes, I was excited to learn about mains-powered magic wand vibrators. I was even more excited when, back in the day where the Hitachi was the only one on the market, Lovehoney brought out their model and it was a) available in the UK and b) crazy affordable. Believe the hype, because this is incredible. I’ve had mine for about 3 years now, and she’s still going strong.

It’s been on the front lines of both my solo and partnered sessions, and has given me many an orgasm. Definitely a step up if you’re used to bullet or plastic vibes, so you may want to proceed with caution the first time you use it, but after that you’ll probably never go back because nothing else compares to the raw power that this thing provides. Seriously, it’s awesome.

(To get into specifics of the actual product: the power cable is a decent length, so you don’t need to sweat if you’re not immediately near a power source. You can adjust the speed/vibration with the wheel, which makes it great for changing it on a whim for total control. If you’re worried about noise, be warned this isn’t the quietest, but could probably be muffled by a towel or something similar.)

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: Full frontal, mains-powered orgasmic fury.

Cons: Has ruined all other vibrators for me.

Bottom Line: The holy grail of vibes.

Womanizer Premium

Improved Design

I love this toy. It is a fantastic, well designed product that is easy to use, more discreet than any other clitoral stimulator of this type, and gives me easy to achieve intense orgasms. It is similar to the Pro 40, but with improvements in design that really make a great difference.

The whole toy iscovered in super soft seamless silicone, except for a small gold accent in plastic. Mine is a wonderful rich red colour, which I adore; it makes a refreshing change from all my black, purple and pink toys.

One simple, yet greatly appreciated improvement is that the plus button (increases intensity) is larger and raised higher than the minus button (decreases intensity), making it easy to tell these buttons apart by touch alone. That might sound like a minor detail, but it makes such a difference when you’re trying to find the correct button in the heat of the moment!

The charging system has also been improved to a magnetic USB charger. It snaps into place with minimal effort and stays there. It also has three little lights just above the charging point that indicate how charged it is when you turn it on. One light is low charge, three lights is fully charged. All three light flash up in order as the Womanizer Premium Rechargeable Smart Silence is charging and remain on once it is fully charged.

The new silence feature is so wonderfully clever in it’s simplicity. Basically, this kind of stimulator is normally loud. However, the sound is greatly muffled when the silicone head is held against your skin. This is where the smart silence feature comes in! The toy till only begin stimulating when the head touches something. As soon as you remove it from the skin it immediately turns off. This means you can make it silent as quick as you need to, simply by removing it from your skin, and it is only on when the sound will be much quieter anyway. It is a really cool feature, worth having as the sound of these products can often be off-putting, especially if you need to be discreet.

In use, like all the other Womanizer products I’ve tried, I loved it! The silicone cup encased my clit perfectly and delivered pressure waves that seemed to stimulate the very essence of all clitoral nerves, in a deep, satisfying way.

There are 12 levels of intensity which you can scroll up and down by pressing the plus and minus buttons.

If you press the button with a wave on it, just above the gold accent, it switches in to auto pilot mode. You might be forgiven in thinking that pressing this button will give you patterns, but that’s not really what it does. What happens is the intensity level of the pressure waves are gradually increased and decreased within a 4 level window. When auto pilot mode is first switched on, the intensity levels included are the first four levels (perfect for me). It selects the intensity level and stays there for about 20 seconds before changing. Although it appears that the levels are gradually going up then back down then back up again, it’s actually more varied than that, meaning that which intensity level is coming next unpredictable. This is great if you want to delay your orgasm for a more intense ending, or you enjoy be edged up and down intensity levels in an unpredictable way. If you press the plus button in auto pilot mode, the window of levels it uses shifts up a level (e.g. levels 2 to 5). You can keep ramping up until it’s only giving you levels 9 to 12 if you wish, and use the minus button to decrease back down.

Although I think that autopilot mode may not suit everyone (and that’s completely fine because manual mode allows you to achieve tailor made awesomeness), I really enjoyed the way it teased my body to orgasmic glory. My orgasm took me by surprise in this mode, and it was freeing to not worry about being in control; I just lay back and enjoyed the ride.

Overall, I think this toy is fantastic! The silence feature works wonderfully, the autopilot feature adds something interesting and the charging, material and button design are all better than previous models. All this and I still get spectacular, easy to achieve, deeply satisfying clitoral orgasms. What more can I ask for?

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Improved design features, intense orgasms!

Cons: Nothing, it’s damn near perfect!

Bottom Line: Fantastic, beautifully designed product, recommend to everyone with a clit!

Lovehoney Plus Size Love Me Lace Deep Suspender Belt Black

Sexy must have suspender belt

A suspender belt is a must have for any lingerie lover, particularly if stockings are involved. The Lovehoney Plus Size Love Me Lace Deep Suspender Belt Black is a great choice for any plus sized people who are wanting to add one to their collection. The four suspender straps successfully hold up stockings and are easily adjustable. The suspender clips are a little fiddly the first few times, but once I got the hang of attaching stockings I have found them very sturdy and reliable.

The tease of lace is always sexy, especially in black and the small detail of the Lovehoney charm and satin ribbon will catch your lover’s eye, only increasing the seductive power of this piece. The delicate floral lace pattern and deep width of this suspender belt makes it great for covering up and flattering stomachs and hips. Having recently had major abdominal surgery, I love being able to cover up the scar in a sexy and feminine way, while leaving the rest of my torso exposed.

The stretch in the lace makes this a very comfortable piece of lingerie to wear for hours, but not so lose that it falls or rides up. The X1/X2 fits my size 16-18 AU well on the smallest fastening so will certainly fit larger sizes. One of the clasps on mine was damaged when it arrived, but I was easily able to fix this myself. Otherwise the quality has been up to the usual Lovehoney standard.

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: Sexy and functional. The delicacy of the floral pattern is highly feminine.

Cons: One of the fastenings on mine was damaged.

Bottom Line: A great piece of lingerie that designed for plus size and will expand any wardrobe.

Lovehoney Plus Size Seduce Me Push-Up Basque Set

Haven’t felt that sexy in 10 years

I’ve always been plus sized and with my DD/E cup I had given up hope of fitting into anything sexy that has a bra. It would either be too small or not offer any support. However, I was very happy with some of Lovehoney’s knickers and decided to give this basque a chance. I’m so happy I did!

I wasn’t sure which size to choose, so I contacted customer support and they were extremely helpful - as they always are. I received my order 3-4 days later even though I live abroad.

The materials are of good quality and there were very few loose threads, but generally, it is very well made. The hook-and-eye closure is somewhat of a hassle, but they say ‘‘no pain - no gain’’ and I agree. It helps if you have your partner do it for you!

I was surprised by how comfortable it feels! It’s like wearing a shirt. It softly hugs my body and is truly flattering my hourglass figure. I had not felt that sexy since my late teens!

The only problem I had was that the bra straps were too long. Even though they are adjustable, I had to cut and shorten them on the back. It was well worth it though, because it now keeps my boobs in place and makes them look yummy!

Bottom line, this is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: Comfortable! Well made, fits great, extremely flattering and sexy.

Cons: I had to shorten the bra straps. But I don’t care, it looks gorgeous!

Bottom Line: I love it and wish the same fit came in more designs and colours.

Lovehoney Deluxe Extra Powerful Mains Powered Magic Wand Vibrator

Superb vibrations

There’s no hiding that this is on the more expensive end of the vibrating wand products out there, but when we received a 30% off offer from Lovehoney it seemed too good to pass up. We weren’t looking for a wand, but saw the price and reviews, and thought why not.

Opening your delivery. The outer packaging for this item was non-identifiable as with all our purchases so far. But given the shape and size of the box, it is fairly obvious what is inside, so not one to have delivered to the office.

The product. When we first opened this at home, we were a bit taken aback by the size and weight. Before even plugging it in we could tell this screamed quality. perfectly textured vibrating head, and easy to use controls: two for intensity (higher or lower) and one for the type of vibration setting. The flexible head means you can apply varying degrees of pressure at different angles too.

First use. We decided to test out the different vibrations when we plugged it in (in contrast to some toys where we have just dived straight in). The initial vibration is incredible, far more powerful than any vibrator or chargeable wand we own. I have a corded DeWalt chisel and am pretty sure this wand could give it a run for its money. Having flicked through the different settings, we eventually settled on the constant vibration, sometimes you can have too many options to choose from. We actually purchased this as a massager for my wife’s back and shoulders, so decided to see how it felt when applied to her lower back. Unbelievable is the answer. Some reviews mention loud noise when in use. I guess if you live somewhere completely quiet you will hear this. But, if you live in an urban area with traffic, trains, have neighbours or any level of noise outside your bedroom, this will fade into the background no problem.

Second use. Well, you can imagine it was only a matter of time before this made it downstairs so to speak. I guess you can use without lube, but we applied a little and tried it out on my wife. This is not for internal use (although fair play if you want it to be), so positioned over the clitoris. That is where it stayed for about 60 seconds before a back arching orgasm and huge ear to ear smile. My wife says it’s better than any vibrator we have as the vibration covers a wider area and is still more intense, literally feels like waves moving through you. So good in fact, she kept talking about it throughout the night. Obviously, I was intrigued and decided to see what happens if it’s used on a penis… buy one and see, you won’t regret it.

All our toys stay in a box in the wardrobe, apart from this one which lives in the bedside table drawer for regular use. Gents, if you want to get a treat for your wife (and yourself), buy this. She will love you for it.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Extremely powerful.

Cons: No complaints.

Bottom Line: Best wand on sale.

Lovehoney Supreme Sensation Pussy Pump

Pumptastic fun

I bought this as a surprise for my partner having read the reviews and watched the videos at LH. The videos are clearly explained and really useful.

I was away at the time, so once the discreet package arrived which contained the pump and a variety of other items, she sent me a text saying she was expecting flip-flops and fairy lights and asking what the hell have I been watching!?

I think her initial reactions were bordering on “this is a seedy sex toy and I’m not sure this is for me”. Yet she was game to try, so when I got back we went into the bedroom, opened up the pussy pump and coupled with a few giggles, she laid back and was happy to experiment with our new toy. We warmed up beforehand with me going down on her. We thought it would be good to compare the difference before/after the pump, and also a great way to relax.

Her initial reactions to the toy were that the plastic cup felt too solid and would have preferred it to be softer. I don’t think she found it as exciting as I did at first – a plastic contraption, that seems like it belongs more in a biological lab than in the bedroom! - Although I had done the research and therefore had an idea of what was to come.

Having applied some water-based lube and then initially attached the cup to her thigh to get an idea of how the pump and the 2 release valves worked; she then released it and put the cup over her pussy. I wanted her to take control as I knew she wasn’t 100% comfortable with the idea. She also has a clit piercing so this probably added to the slight anxiety of using a toy designed to bring an obviously increased blood flow to an extremely delicate and sensitive area!

She started off slowly with a few half squeezes to the pump. At one point it was obvious that the seal wasn’t working as a continuous trumpet farting noise came out which we both pissed ourselves at! She repositioned herself by laying back and spreading her legs and pussy more so that the seal would be better and away we went again after applying a bit more lube.

Several half pumps later and it became noticeable that the pump was doing what it was supposed to. The pump started to slowly suck up her entire pussy. It wasn’t overly obvious but enough to notice a difference. Her labia and clit became more pronounced and the effect of this was a real turn on for me. Being the first time, we left the suction at that point and kept it on for about 10 minutes while we entertained ourselves with some of the other items I had bought.

When we released the pussy pump, visually there didn’t really appear to be much difference when compared to it being on; the clit was slightly puffier but it wasn’t too enlarged and the labia seemed to be the same size as before the pump was applied.

However, it was immediately obvious that there was a definite increase in sensitivity. My partner was obviously experiencing an increase in sensations and she came much faster and stronger than previously. This was closely followed by amazing sex as we were both incredibly turned on from what had just happened.

Seedy sex toy – my ass! Pleasant pumping pulsations more like! Now we know what we’re doing, it’s time to experiment. This pump is great and is highly recommended to add that extra wow factor to your relationship. We’re now wondering if there is a softer cup option/upgrade but are happy to experiment with this pussy pump for the time being.

Happy pumping, everyone!

Overall Ratings: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: The suction and how the pussy looked whilst on. The extra sensitivity afterwards.

Cons: The solid plastic cup - but this is probably an important aspect.

Bottom Line: Great toy - Do what Arnie does and get pumping!

Bathmate HYDROMAX7 WIDE BOY Penis Pump Clear 5-7 Inches

It really works

Like a lot of men I had that thought… it would be nice to be that bit bigger.

In this review I am going to cover the Bathmate Hydromax X30 Wide Boy Hydrotherapy Penis Pump and a little bit of info on my routine I have been using and the results I have got.

At the time of writing this review Bathmate have just done a name change on their range of Penis Pumps so the Bathmate Hydromax X30 Wide Boy is now called the Bathmate HYDROMAX 7 Wide Boy in some places but they are the same product.

First off, I did loads of research into penis growth including looking and asking questions on the ace Lovehoney forum. There are a lot of options out there for penis growth, most of them wanting to take your money in return for non-guaranteed results. For me I discounted any “Magic” pills as you just don’t know what is in them. I also discounted walking round with weights tied to the end of my penis as that’s not exactly safe or fun either.

After all my research I ending up at Penis Stretchers, a device that you attach for a few hours and it stretches you over time. I decided not to go for this as I can’t have it attached for hours and hours at work and you can’t have them on a night as they fall off most the time.

I also discounted the traditional Penis Air Pump… I do own one and have used it a few times but it’s not really done anything for me and if it had worked I would not have had the thought of wanting to be bigger!

This left me with three options and from my research which look to have given other men good results. The first is a hand technique called “Jelqing” lots of info on Google and Youtube. The second is a Grape Seed Extract Tablet, they are mainly used by men with Erectile Dysfunction, not something I suffer with. However they increases blood flow to the penis and all I can say is “WOW” we are talking the best rock-solid morning glory erections you have ever had. The last and most important being the Hydromax range.

The Hydromax Penis Pumps come in a range of sizes and it’s important that you get the right size. DO NOT do the bloke thing and order the biggest one as you will not get results you want. If you go to the Hydromax website it has a find my size tool. However, in my research a lot of men say that you gain girth faster than length (this is not a bad thing), so this is why I decided to go for the Wide Boy as I did not want to get into the situation of using it for a while and then running out of room girth wise… and I am really glad I did this!

The Bathmate Hydromax X30 Wide Boy Hydrotherapy Penis Pump is a quality product. It is built very well, it’s not flimsy at all, in fact its solid. It is simple to use and almost self-cleaning and the best bit is it feels good when it’s on. There is a Lovehoney product video that I suggest you watch on how to use it and this also saves me typing out how to use it.

The only small criticism I have is the measuring scale on the cylinder. Its not 100% accurate as it depends how hard you compress the bellows to your body. I have found that 6.5 Inches on the cylinder is more like 7 Inches when measured with a ruler.

My routine that includes the Hydromax X30 Wide Boy Hydrotherapy Penis Pump.

Before you do anything measure yourself and note it down somewhere safe. You want to know your starting point so you can see your gains! I normally do my routine every other day so this allows time for penis recovery and growth. You will need to do a bit of hair trimming as you need to get a good seal, hair under the seal allows air to creep in. I have worked up over a month to maximum pressure don’t rush things you will only set yourself back. As with anything this is what works for me and you may wish to change things up, you should also listen to your body and not overdo it as this will just set you back!

1. Warm up your penis with a wet hot flannel for a few mins do this twice.

2. Fill your Hydromax with warm water and leave in the bathroom to warm up.

3. 100x Length Jelqing using Lovehoney Liquid Silk Lube.

4. 100x Girth Jelqing using Lovehoney Liquid Silk Lube.

5. Enter the Hydromax while erect, get a good seal and pump until comfortable.

6. After 5 mins increase pressure.

7. After 5 mins increase to max pressure. (you can go max pressure sooner if you like)

8. After a total of 15 mins remove Hydromax.

My results so far after two months. Length increase of 1.1 Inch to 6.5 Inches and a girth increase of 1.2 Inches to 5.7 Inches. I am still increasing both. However, the rate of increase has slowed from the first month and I am now seeing a steady increase each week.

To sum up the Bathmate Hydromax X30 Wide Boy Hydrotherapy Penis Pump, if you want to increase Girth and Length buy it! It’s easily the best thing I have purchased this year full stop. However, please remember that you need to use it to increase length, so put in the effort and share your rewards.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Increase in both length and girth.

Cons: The measuring scale on the cylinder - it’s not 100% accurate.

Bottom Line: The best thing I have purchased this year full stop.

Mantric Rechargeable Realistic Vibrator

Just what I needed

So my first ever vibe (a Lovehoney G-spot bullet, a trusty and quiet beast) finally gave out after many years of service, leaving a gap in my collection and in my heart. I also made the critical error of taking a 2-week trip home and completely forgetting to raid my toy drawer when packing, so when I saw that this was reduced to half price I knew the stars had aligned.

My emergency care package arrived promptly as always, and I set about charging it immediately. Imagine my surprise when, not only does it tick all the boxes (rechargeable, submersible, body-safe) but it has a snazzy colour-changing light show included! And a secret charge cable port! Very Star Trek, I dig it.

This toy is worth every penny, and exactly the kind of all-rounder I needed. The curve makes it super ergonomic, and I am a fan of the single-button style of controls (the first push makes the light fade through all the colours!). That ridge doesn’t look like much, but damn. The silicone is so nice and soft (will confess to rubbing it on my face when I got it out of the box), but as a result, it sure does soak up lube! I’m not above slathering it on though, so it’s not an issue for me, but just be warned.

I can attest that it works great both on and off, in whichever spot you fancy fitting it. Indeed, the tapered middle section made it feel pretty secure for butt stuff, which is a bonus. The head is also pretty well-shaped for external stimulation: my body prefers a larger surface to precise vibrations. Because I am a simple creature, I mainly used the 3 constant settings, and they are pretty well designed. The slowest setting is a little bit gravelly, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I haven’t attempted using it with a partner yet, but I am confident it will come in very handy.

Overall, this little thing is hard to fault. Well-made, great shape, versatile, and just a little bit disco. It has saved my holiday!

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: Versatile, ergonomic, nice and smooth, jazzy lights!

Cons: Thirsty silicone, slowest vibe setting slightly gravelly?

Bottom Line: Excellent all-rounder, hard to fault!

Lovehoney Release Masturbation Lubricant 100ml

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!

I’m sure everyone is used to using a bit of lube every now and then, whether playing alone or with a partner. It’s sometimes essential (with larger toys or dependent on where they’re going!), but I’d never come across (pun intended) anything specifically marketed for use during a hand shandy/five-knuckle shuffle.

So having seen this in the sale section, I thought I’d give it a go - for use alone and with the good lady. As others have pointed out, it’s more of a toothpaste consistency than standard lube. In fact the wife gave it a fair old squeeze (after we’d struggled to get any out due to the toothpaste tube-like foil over the end of the tube under the cap - doh!) and out shot a line of thick white paste unlike any lube we’d used before.

Once applied, though, it ‘melts’, is hugely different from water/oil based lubes and has a very smooth, slick, almost ‘buttery’ feel to it and it certainly does the trick. No need for additional applications and a little goes a long way. Lasts as long as required to finish the task at hand, even if it’s a long hard slog and leaves your skin feeling lovely and soft (soft is acceptable after the jobs done of course).

Woke up next morning and my knob felt as if it had been given the full spa treatment the day before. So for an enjoyable, friction and blister-free session that leaves your old chap feeling smoother than a Barry White lyric, get your hands (or your significant other’s hands) on this stuff.

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: Lasts the distance and feels great next day!

Cons: Forgetting to take the foil off the top.

Bottom Line: Excellent stuff. A bedside drawer essential.

Womanizer Classic Rechargeable Clitoral Stimulator

Back to basics

The Womanizer Classic is the ‘little black dress’ design from Womanizer. It is intended to be timeless, simple and effective and I’m pleased to say that I think they pulled all of those things off. It comes in a sturdy storage box along with a spare stimulation head, instruction guide, charging cable and storage pouch. It’s nicely presented and could easily be given as a gift. It may not be the cheapest design that they have made but it stronger than the smaller, cheaper Starlet so it’s worth the extra spend if intensity is your thing.

Made from plastic, this clitoral stimulator is smooth to the touch and comfortable to hold. It has a silicone nozzle that is also smooth and body-safe. It should be used with a coating of water-based lubricant around the rim for comfortable and maximum seal. As with all of their latest releases, this model is waterproof so can be cleaned easily and taken in the bath or shower for aquatic fun. I like to use a wipe on the body then remove the head and give that a more thorough clean with warm soapy water.

Rechargeable via USB, this toy could not be easier to charge. Just attach the USB into a suitable spot and attach the magnetic prongs on the charger to points located on the Classic. It has a strong system which I liked and it shows rapid flashing lights on the base until it’s completely charged, which is useful, and these lights turn to a steady glow once finished. It takes around ninety minutes and it can give up to four hours of use.

Featuring a three-button control panel for ease of use, the Womanizer Classic is a treat to those of us who hated the old one-button system that the brand used. The power button turns the toy on/off when pressed and held for a few seconds. It begins on the lowest intensity which can then be increased via the plus button. To decrease the intensity, simply tap the minus. These controls make accessing your desired functions quick and carefree and as the plus button is larger than the minus it’s easy to differentiate between them mid session.

If you have ever used a clitoral suction style stimulator before, the idea behind the Womanizer Classic is the same as other designs. It uses their popular Pleasure Air technology which works by parting the labia, as much or as little as is necessary to reveal the clitoris, then placing the nozzle over the area and holding it steady in the most comfortable position.

It needs to be kept still as any motions will break the seal and stop the stimulation getting through. It’s perfect for lazy masturbators like myself or people who can’t move their wrists and arms around much due to a condition or injury. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone in the above circumstances who likes clitoral stimulation who needs or wants most of the work done for them.

Stimulation wise, I cannot fault the Womanizer range at all. This technology absolutely works for me and it ticks all of my boxes and although there are models with more intensities than this one, I’m still extremely satisfied with the sensations that this one can offer. I use settings five and above generally as I feel these work best for me but the lower options are great for people who don’t need as much intensity as I do, like to tease themselves or their partner, prolong their orgasms or simply warm up with a lower level of strength. I don’t get much from the lower four personally but I can see them being great for people who like any of the above-mentioned qualities.

Everything about the Womanizer Classic was impressive to me but I will say that this device is not groundbreaking. It doesn’t have anything new or different about it, unlike the new Premium model, so I don’t think it’s a must-have if you already own of the older models. However, I would be happy to point people who’ve never tried a Womanizer before in the direction of this one if the Starlet’s petite size and lower intensity levels don’t appeal.

Overall, the Classic is another great product from Womanizer. It might not any exciting upgrades to brag about but it is a fantastic take on a classic and it shows how far the brand has come since the days of leopard print and gemstone buttons. It has a great shape, the ergonomics are on point and the intensities are just about right. Noise wise, it is not the quietest stimulator on the market as that award goes to its premium sibling but it’s not unbearable. Ultimately I’d recommend this toy to anyone who is looking for a first-time suction style stimulator that will last a lifetime.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Everything!

Cons: N/a

Bottom Line: Fantastic clitoral stimulator with simple controls, comfortable handle and strong intensities.

Lovehoney Enjoy Water-Based Lubricant 250ml

Perfect for Fleshlight

We’ve used a wide variety of lubes before; different tastes, heat sensations, tingle sensations, wetness, stickiness. Most have been appreciated at the time for various reasons; however, this product really stood out due to the consistency of the liquid and how it complements our new found love of sex toys perfectly.

After recently purchasing a Fleshlight I had tried a number of different lubes to see which enhanced the experience the most. One was distracting as it was too hot and numbing. Another was far too wet and messy, dripping the liquid everywhere when you really want it to stay in the toy. The free sachet of Fleshlight lube seemed appropriate but there was barely any of it and a small bottle seemed expensive in comparison to others.

Then there was Lovehoney Enjoy lubricant. What really stood out to me was the thickness of the lube. Once applied to the toy (we’ve tried it with the Fleshlight, extenders and dildos) it stays where you squirt it, without slopping elsewhere and losing half of it on the bed. It stays where you need it. For the Fleshlight in particular, this was perfect for lubricating the hole before it was pushed further into the toy.

When spread, the thick liquid does exactly what you want it to; make sex toys or sex more lubricated and pleasant without any inappropriate friction. My wife says that it does a job like other lubricants with her dildos but that she doesn’t need much. In addition, it’s not sticky and is very easy to clean away after it has been enjoyed.

So if you’re looking for a good quality lube that is thick and doesn’t have any undesirable additional sensations then this could be ideal for you.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Thick consistency of liquid. Does exactly what you want it to.

Cons: There’s nothing to dislike.

Bottom Line: An ideal product if you want a thick lube with no additional sensations.

Lovehoney Plus Size Rendezvous Black Studded Open-Cup Body

Naughty, yet very nice

We love a bit of open cup lingerie, and when we found out we would be testing the Rendezvous Open-Cup body, we were very excited.

It was described as black and studded, so instantly got us thinking of black leather and gaudy spikes. This, however, was pleasantly not true.

What was received, was a truly beautiful piece of lingerie.

Upon removing from the packaging, you can instantly feel the soft yet high-quality materials in this piece. The lovely contrast between the black lace and the gold studs and accents is just divine.

It may take a few moments to get all the straps straightened out and make sense of where everything needs to go, but when you do it has all been worthwhile.

The quality of this piece shines through when you see all the lovely features, like the nice wide suspender straps, with gold metal clasps. And the little golden Lovehoney accent just finishes it off.

Once you have slipped into this body, you can feel the quality of the soft materials, it really does feel nice to wear, and with the open cups is incredibly sexy. Pair this with the open crotch, and there is little that you cannot access whilst still wearing this body.

Sizing wise, we received the 1x/2x which is geared up for an 18/20, I would say that perhaps it was a little tight for us who normally wear a size 20, and this was evident also in the stretchy collar, which proved a noticeable constriction (although we didn’t mind this).

Perhaps the sizing would be regular for a size 18, and a smaller size 20, but if a comfortable 20, then it may be worth going up a size to make sure.

So on reflection, this is one sexy piece of lingerie, you cannot make more of a statement of intent that when you are wearing this. She looked beautiful wearing this, and so powerfully sexy too.

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: The quality, the contrasting colours.

Cons: Perhaps a little tight for a size 20 at 1x/2x.

Bottom Line: Very sexy indeed, and a pleasure to wear.

Lifelike Lover Classic Realistic Rotating Dildo Vibrator 8 Inch

A great new sensation

Firstly I would love to thank Leanne for giving this to us to test for an honest review.

My wife’s name is Gilly and she loved this Willie.

Five speed settings with a different pace, soon put a smile on Gilly’s face.

Vibrating and rotating soon sent her daft as she rode this 8-inch lifelike shaft.

If you like some good penetration you will love this new sensation.

This is a great new toy for us to enjoy.

This will make you come so hard, if you want the same get our your debit card.

A smile on Gilly’s face she did beam, thanks again to the Lovehoney team.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: My wife’s delight with the toy.

Cons: Absolutely nothing.

Bottom Line: Great toy, vibrating and rotating, took wife to a different level.

Tracey Cox SuperSex Couple’s Kit

Very nice addition to help spice things up

Me and the OH have been having more and more sex since the birth of our second child back in March. We have both lost a lot of weight as well so sex is a whole new ballgame with our new shapes and not to mention our new levels of confidence. So we decided to bring some toys into the mix.

We used to have all manner of naughty objects when we were younger but over the years have gotten rid and become more reserved and we have no idea why. Hello, Lovehoney account!

Decided to start small so bought the Tracy Cox Couples kit which included a cock ring, a little rabbit shaped clit stimulator and a remote-controlled love egg.

Cock ring

We really really enjoyed this. Best cock ring we have used. It fits nicely with a touch of lubrication at the base of OH’s shaft. It didn’t pinch like previous cock rings used and didn’t move from where it was supposed to be. It did need adjusting a few times because we were out of sync with me on top and some of my movements were making the little sticky up ears stab me rather than please me but we soon got the hang of it. And the on/off button was a little hard to locate in the throws. We used it during foreplay so I would just suggest popping it on the highest vibrate option when actual sex begins. Good vibrations, not to intense and easy to put on and remove. Good all round cock ring. Highly recommend.

Clit stimulator

I got a bit excited about using this and asked permission to use it alone when OH was out. I found that it was far too intense to use straight away and personally I need a bit of a warm up with this one. On another occasion when we used it together and it was brought in a little later in the game I really enjoyed it. Definitely a great addition during intercourse as well as foreplay.

Love egg

Loved this! A friend of mine had bought one that had a wire and I just thought it looked like something used during childbirth. So I love the remote control on the Tracy Cox one. It’s discreet and black and small enough to fit in your palm in your pocket. The egg itself is plain and black and doesn’t look too intimidating. A number of vibration settings to enioy.

It was a little noisy. My OH suggested I pop it in one evening when a friend was coming round to watch a film and I said no because it was the first time we’d be using it. The following eve we used it and I was sat on a carpeted floor and it sounded like a phone was vibrating nearby so I’m glad we didn’t have company. My OH could put his head on my stomach/lap and tell which setting was in use. I think if you were in a restaurant or bar it would be fine but I wouldn’t suggest using it in company at home when there is quiet.

My only negative about the entire pack is the batteries. Everything uses different batteries. So you have four pieces of equipment and various batteries are needed, they are not batteries you are likely to have lying about the house (I think the remote needed AAA, as did the clit stimulator) so plan ahead with battery purchases.

We stupidly left the little round batteries inside the love egg when we put them in on first arrival and due to circumstances didn’t get chance to use it for about three weeks, came to use it and the batteries had drained. Luckily they hadn’t leaked but was a tad annoyed with myself about that!

Anyway, a great little set for starting out in the sex toy world, all look nice and sexy and sleek and black and nothing looks intimidating. Well worth it.

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: The look, black and sleek.

Cons: All the different batteries needed.

Bottom Line: Great little set to add some spark.

Lifelike Lover Classic Realistic Dildo 8 Inch

Delicious dildo fun

I’m a fan of dildos and as I planned to use this beauty alone and not with my husband I was happy to go for this pale flesh tone. This dildo just begs to be touched and the head is quite realistic. The girth and length are comparable with the real thing and the squeeze is lovely. I would be a bit worried if my hubby’s veins were as hard as these and with balls that firm would I would send him off to the doctor! For dildo play, however, these features are perfect. There is the ideal balance of flex and rigidity in the shaft to be able to manoeuvre it into the right position for your personal needs.

I have only been able to make the suction cup stay firmly on the bathroom tiles. This wouldn’t be a problem if I was a contortionist but I’ve discovered I’m not quite flexible enough to ride it comfortably that way. My first choice would be the flat wooden leg of my bed, as my feet could stretch either side of it but even though the dildo appears to be firmly attached when I tug on it, as soon as I ride it, it drops off, which is very frustrating.

I use the dildo by holding it in one hand and with a powerful vibe against my clit as I generally need both at the same time. It is quite heavy so if you have weakness in your arms you won’t be able to use it like this. I wouldn’t say this is a large dildo at all, but maybe that is just the slackness of a fifty-something mother’s vagina! Having said that I do understand that for an inexperienced user or someone with a tight vagina this dildo could be too girthy and long. Luckily there are plenty more of this type in smaller (and larger!) sizes, so if you fancy the benefits of a lifelike dildo you should find one to fit.

The balls are very useful when handling it and give more control when thrusting vigorously. The veins and head, being firm, add amazing sensations that I can feel the more aroused I get, so climax is inevitable and powerful.

I was alarmed recently as the surface was becoming tacky and collecting bits, not sure why, but a tiny amount of Fleshlight powder restored it to skin-soft loveliness.

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: Size, shape, head and veins.

Cons: Suction cup only works on tiles.

Bottom Line: A perfect specimen of its type. Dildo play lovers won’t be disappointed.

Lovehoney Plus Size Parisienne Wine Longline Bra and Crotchless Thong Set

Gorgeous set - great quality

What can I say - I love this set!

For context, I’m a size 18, 5’5, with 34 HH/J breasts. My boobs are very heavy, and they have a fair amount of sag!

The bra is as lovely as it looks on the model - the colour is beautiful, and the quality is fabulous. This is obviously not a bra to go for a run in, and in comparison to the feats of human engineering I usually wear, it’s fairly elastic and small in the cup. However, it lifts my breasts in an impressive way. There is obviously some spillage (but I would never hold my disproportionate boobs against a set like this!), but once I’ve arranged my boobs properly, they look amazing in this bra.

The longline is nice and comfortable (no digging in, or rolling up), and the lace is very soft and great quality.

The thong is where I totally fall in love - a supportive, high waisted thong, that doesn’t look frumpy?! It’s amazing. It’s crotchless as well, which I always appreciate for the bedroom sets (it feels such a shame to look amazing in a set, only to have to take half of it off when you get down to business). It comes up to just below my belly button (like on the model), hiding the part of my body I dislike the most (lower stomach), whilst still showing plenty of skin from behind. It’s so comfortable that I’ve actually worn this under my normal clothes. Again, the quality is great.

The suspender clips are well made and perfectly adequate for bedroom activities.

It’s so refreshing to get sexy sets like this for plus size figures. I would buy this again in a heartbeat!

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Gorgeous colour, high waisted thong is endlessly flattering and comfortable.

Cons: Cups too small for my breasts, but this isn’t a fault with the set.

Bottom Line: Stunning set, well designed for the plus-size figure.

Lovehoney Delight Extra Silky Water-Based Lubricant 250ml

Lovely natural feel

My better half had a hysterectomy several years ago and has suffered quite badly due to dryness of the vagina. We’ve tried all sorts of lubrication over the years and never really found anything that helped with her problem, until now. This lubricant has been an answer to both her and my prayers.

The pain she’d suffered when trying to make love was awful and there was even a time when we wouldn’t even have intercourse. This lubricant has been a saviour, our life has changed so much since finding this on LH. Into the bargain when we’re having foreplay I’ve squirted this over her as it just looks like cum and excites both of us even more. Wow!

Thank you, LH for making our sex life wonderful again. We’re now feeling tempted to try the clear water-based version of this to see if it’s just as good. We’ve purchased 2 of these bottles over the last few months as it has such a lovely natural feel to it. By the way, it’s a great size, and easy to use push-type dispenser.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Wonderful soft feeling lubricant.

Cons: Nothing, it’s brilliant.

Bottom Line: A wonderful slippery lubricant.

Mantric Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator

An incredible bullet

I love bullet vibrators. I love that they are small, portable and powerful. Having had a few toys from the Mantric range, I am also really starting to like the brand so a Mantric bullet was just far too tempting despite me already having an awful lot of bullets.

This bullet is made from Mantric’s signature soft, raspberry coloured silicone, other than the small square light panel on the base. The power button is just above the Mantric logo on the front and the charging point is on the side. It is a little bigger than a standard battery operated bullet vibrator (like the Rocks Off 80mm) but it still feels small and discreet. The whole toy just looks good and feels good to hold.

To turn it on, simply press the power button once and the base will light up. Press a second time to start the vibrators. There are three speeds and seven patterns. I am not a patterns person, so that is seven wasted settings on me, unfortunately. It might have been nicer to have a bit more balance with one or two more speeds but that is me being picky.

The three speeds are actually all pretty powerful and surprisingly rumbly. The highest speed is a touch buzzy, but it is powerful enough for it not to be an issue. I am a real power queen who usually has to skip straight through the first setting on a vibrator, but I can actually have an amazing orgasm from the first speed of this toy. It does take a little bit longer than the later speeds, but it is still a really enjoyable experience.

There are even three ways to use the tip of this toy, either the flat side to maximise the contact area (my preference), the very tip to give pinpoint accuracy, or the back of the toy which gives more surface area that the very tip, but not as much as the flat side.

It does only have a one-button control, which is annoying but as I’m only really using the three speeds and the speeds go from slow to fast, this isn’t a massive problem.

Another signature of the Mantric brand is the light panel. I have never been convinced that they are a useful addition to a toy, and this one is probably the least useful yet. Unlike other toys in the range, there is some repetition in the colours used. If you are using the colours to let a partner know your favourite setting you need to let them know if the colour is solid (speeds) or flashing (patterns). There is also a couple of colours that are quite close and could get confusing if your partner hasn’t seen all the colours.

That aside, I really do love this bullet. It is everything a bullet should be in a rechargeable, silicone form. If you are looking to upgrade to a rechargeable bullet, this is a great option. If you just fancy a new toy, this is also a great option!

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: The rumbly vibrations.

Cons: The light panel.

Bottom Line: Definitely a toy I’ll be keeping within reach.

Lovehoney Unisex Crotchless Open-Back Lace Harness Briefs

Perfect for adventures in pegging

The lover expressed a desire for pegging and, me being an obliging kind of gal, I immediately set about discovering my inner sensual goddess. Never having ventured too far in this direction I was a bit bamboozled by the array of harness options - many of which are quite pricey (particularly if you search more, ahem, specialist retailers). And then I spied these nifty pegging pants…

The main advantage is the absence of uncomfortable and obstructive straps. The thinness and figure-hugging design allow for more intimacy without faff. Additionally, the dildo (*not included) is held firmly in place, eliminating a common drawback with more conventional harnesses.

The briefs themselves are comfortable and provide a bit of support. They slip on with ease and allow for immediate access to all areas in the event things get distractedly steamy. The dildo is low enough to provide a little welcome pressure… but well-positioned for the focus of action.

The ring allows for sizing up - we started with the 5.5 which isn’t quite sufficient. You are a little limited in that you require one which fits through said ring (no good if you’re thirsty for girth), and they need one with a flared base. They aren’t machine washable either, which is a pain. I’m not sure how much room a gent would find for his manly junk - foresight would’ve had me getting them on him to see! Upshot is I’m not sure how “unisex” these are, though variety of size is generous. And they seem fairly true to size (I got the L/XL which was fine for my substantial arse).

These are an important piece of kit, and relative to the type of harness available in this price range represent good value for money. I found it hard to resist feeling like a randy chihuahua mounting an arthritic miniature pony but this is no reflection on the pants or my delicious fella… now, off to hone those pegging skillz…

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: Allowed for greater comfort, intimacy and ease of use.

Cons: Wish they could go in the machine!

Bottom Line: Eliminates a number of drawbacks of regular harnesses.
