Lust Buster Pump

Exceeded expectations - simply amazing for erection issues

Well where to start. I have now used it for 4 days. Prior to purchase I had been suffering poor erections and have seen a gradual decline in these over the last 3/4 years. I am 62. My sex drive has always been high, just that the body hasn’t been cooperating lately. Very depressing and not good for self-esteem at all. I am reasonably fit and have no health issues. When I have had an erection I have not had any staying power and needed to cum quite quickly and the whole experience was a struggle. Well to cap it all I noticed suddenly I had significant lean to left. It occurred to me that perhaps one of the chambers that fill with blood was not working and the other only partially so.

Anyway, been reading about pumps and thought I had nothing to lose so bought this one. Always thought they were just a gimmick. What I am about to say is true - I have nothing to gain by exaggerating. After the first day using it for about 30mins early morning during the afternoon started to feel some life and when we went to bed we had the most great sex. This is not just a warm-up before sex. Afterwards it feels it has had a workout and has to recover. Anyway I had plenty of stamina and it stayed hard without the urge to cum quickly. Somehow the pump seems to have opened the blood vessels and usual business is restored.

Needless to say my wife is also very excited about the whole thing. Believe it, or not, it’s up to you. Used it now 4 times and will keep doing so. The lean is still there but to a lesser extent and not a hindrance. And if it gets bigger that’s a bonus. My purpose in buying was to try and breath some life into it and the results have been simply astonishing. To feel my penis engorged with blood while having sex is a feeling I thought was long gone and is wonderful.

Word of caution. On the 3rd day I left it on too long and had a fat end to my foreskin which took most of the day to go down.

Anyway I feel I have got my life back and my wife thinks she’s got a new man in her bed.

The results are so good I just had to share and if my story strikes a cord with someone and they benefit then great.

Every man should have one of these to keep in trim and in tip top condition.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Well made and easy to use. Creates a good seal.

Cons: The vibrator a bit pointless although the wife likes it.

Bottom Line: After only one session improved stiffness and stamina which had been declining gradually.

Tracey Cox Supersex Stroker

Supersex indeed

A few months back I tried a TENGA egg and was pretty disappointed (as you can see from my review). But I decided to give the world of male sex toys another go! I was seriously put off by the look of the Fleshlights and clones, and the price of those and the Flips. Just as I was giving up hope I had a quick poke at the cheaper end and suddenly discovered a range of “strokers”. I was expecting something pretty small and unexciting but I was very mistaken!

To start off with, this thing is BIG. Okay, it’s not as big as a Fleshlight but its walls are something like 2cm thick and it’s easily long enough to take most sensible sized penises even without stretching, and taking into account the stretch it’s pretty unlikely you’ll have any issues stimulating your full length!

The two textures aren’t a world apart. They are both pretty subtle, but I guess you’d want something more like a Flip for anything particularly interesting. But that aside, this thing really gets the job done. Well, I’ve had it since this morning (despite getting the free delivery somehow LH managed to deliver the next day!) and so far I think I’ve already had two of the best orgasms of my life intensity-wise. The lack of a hard casing means you can squeeze as hard as you like where you like or just enjoy its normal snugness. Just give it a good few squirts of lube and you’re away!

It’s pretty easy to clean really - just flip it inside-out and it’s easy to get clean under a tap. It seems well made and reasonably sturdy, the walls are pretty thick and it’s SO STRETCHY! Barely more expensive than a TENGA egg, far more fun and built to last - I look forward to getting a lot more use out of it!

The only downside is the smell… It really does smell of petrol. When I first unpacked it it was very strong and obvious even before I opened the sealed plastic bag. It seems to be getting better after a few good washe and I personally don’t mind it at all but it’s worth considering if you have particular issues with that sort of smell.

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: It works!

Cons: Smells of petrol…

Bottom Line: It does what it does amazingly well, and cheaply!

Seven Til Midnight Sheer Ruffle Bustier Set

The look of a corset with none of the faff

Having ummed and ahhed over this bustier for a while I eventually bought it and I’m so glad I did.

I have a couple of ‘proper’ corsets already (with metal boning and rear lacing) but I wanted something that was more like this bustier - easier to get into and comfier to wear.

My delivery arrived next day (fantastic once again LH) with my several items I had ordered together in a plain brown box. This particular bustier comes in a plastic pouch with a press-stud fastening and hook to the top so you could store it hung in your wardrobe to keep it in shape. A nice idea I thought.

When I read the description I thought it was more of a stretchy top which looked like a bustier and wasn’t expecting amazing shaping from it or anything. I was surprised and delighted to realise that it has hook and eye fastenings up the back (three rows of them for the perfect fit) which makes it more corset like than I expected.

The fabric has plenty firm stretch to it so you probably could even pull it on and up without unfastening it if you wanted to. I’ll maybe give that a try the first time I’m getting into it by myself. Once on it really holds you in without feeling to restrictive. The ‘boning’ feel like plastic strips so don’t dig in at all but helps the bustier follow your curves and hold you in a little. I wouldn’t think this would reduce your waist size but it definitely stops bits jiggling around.

There are ruffles and bows to the upper and lower edge along with shaping to the bustline to enhance the cleavage and removable suspenders.

I am the upper end of the size range for the 3X/4X option and it fits me perfectly - even with J cup boobs! I am sure it would be even more flattering on someone a little more in proportion than I am but, nonetheless, it felt sexy and flattering to wear and it did exactly what I wanted it to do.

Thank you Lovehoney and Seven Til Midnight for another lovely sexy item to add to my collection.

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: Easy to wear and very flattering.

Cons: Can’t think of anything.

Bottom Line: A lovely flattering bustier that delivers what it promises.

Wand Essentials Magic Wand Rabbit Tip Attachment

This rabbit didn’t successfully munch my lady garden…

After using my Bodywand (which I will get round to reviewing soon) quite a lot, I figured an attachment might be a good plan to enhance its use and this rabbit attachment seemed a good idea.

My main frustration with the wand can be that the ‘head’ covers a large surface area and sometimes I like more precise contact on my clit, so thought this would be perfect. Cue much disappointment…

Looks great when you unwrap it from the simple inoffensive packaging. It’s a pale purple jelly rubber, so is fairly flexible. You have to ease it slowly over the wand head and it is a snug fit and can be a wriggle to get the attachment to sit all the way down the head. When putting it on, make sure you think about how you will be holding the wand and where the controls will be to make sure you position it correctly. For me I made sure the rabbit lined up with the power control on the wand so that I could use it and adjust the speed without having to fiddle around too much.

You have to scroll to almost half-way to actually feel any vibes through the attachment. But then they do travel through quite nicely, or so it feels on your fingers, and the actual shaft which you insert feels good too.

It was the rabbit ears that I just couldn’t get right at all. I do have other rabbits so it’s not that I’m one of the people for whom a rabbit just doesn’t work, but try as I might, I just couldn’t get them at the right speed and place to be pleasurable. In fact it was quite painful on the odd occasion I thought I had it right.

The best way I did find to get some more precise clit stim was to insert the shaft and then press the ears right down to make a kind of L-shape so that the rabbit ‘body’ lay on my clit and I put a finger under the ears to keep them away from me. Sounds weird but once I had relaxed in that position it did work, and the power of the wand both internally and on my clit was good, and did make me orgasm.

All in all, though, I don’t think I will be using this attachment all that much. I have better clit stim toys and the wand on its own gives a much deeper satisfying orgasm.

Removing the attachment was more tricky as it had created a vacuum, but you just have to slide something thing between the attachment and the head to break the seal and then peel the attachment off. I ended up turning it in on itself more than once, but as it was jelly rubber this was fine and then very simple to clean.

I marked strength of vibe and quietness as N/A as it is the wand itself that does this not the attachment.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 10 stars

Pros: The power when it was inserted.

Cons: Ears damn near killed my clit trying to get it right.

Bottom Line: Offered a lot but delivered little, disappointing.

Lovehoney Powerful Pocket Vibrator

A lot of buzz for your buck

I’ve been wanting a Pocket Rocket for a while but somehow always forgot to “add to basket” before. BIG MISTAKE. This toy is a must!

Reasons why you NEED it:

1. It may be small but it is very powerful. I found that to begin with it was better to hold above my clitoris and press down as I got closer as I can sometimes be over-sensitive.

2. It is discreet. For such a powerful bullet I was impressed at how quiet it is.

3. It takes 1 AA battery - very convenient and easily sourced. Battery life is also good with this toy too.

4. It’s great for a couples toy. My partner enjoyed the feel of it on his head, and pressed between us it was great at stimulating my clit during sex and did not get in the way.

5. It’s vaguely innocuous looking. If you happen to leave your Rocket out family/friends won’t be any the wiser, unless they happen to be particularly well acquainted with sex toys!

6. It’s super cheap! What have you got to lose?!

Tips and Tricks:

1. It feels great pressed into the ‘Venus mound’ before direct clitoral stimulation.

2. My OH enjoyed the buzz of this on his balls and perineum - it can be a great little starter toy if your man is unfamiliar with vibes.

3. This is a great alternative to a vibrating cock ring. Personally I prefer it as some vibe rings can actually get in the way during sex, but holding this down the length of my body I got a great amount of stimulation without any ‘obstruction’ so to speak!

4. Used during sex my partner could feel the vibrations while inside me and this intensified the experience for us both.

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: A nice size and very powerful.

Cons: Nothing.

Bottom Line: Excellent value sex toy - a must for any collection.

Lovehoney Mains Powered Wand

It doesn’t leave my bedside

So from the outset, let me say that I have wanted a wand for over a year, so I eagerly awaited the arrival of mine. Sadly my postman is great at “ringing and running” so the morning this arrived I found myself running down the road barefoot with nowt but a dressing gown on!

After ambushing the postman I came home and tore open the box. There was a faint plasticky smell, but nowhere near as strong as I’ve had with other toys - certainly not something that would put me off. The wand itself is very large (I will add pictures for scale), when I first plugged it in I scrolled the wheel a tiny bit, and laughed as it was quite weak… I then scrolled up… and up… and up… this toy is insanely powerful! The range of speeds is amazing, and I always find myself marvelling at how much more I have to scroll to get to full power.

So after a week or two of fully testing out this toy here’s the pros and cons that my partner and I have found:

Pros:

1. It is seriously powerful, I’d never felt anything like it before, I couldn’t take the full speed until I’d warmed up with lower ones for quite a while. However for those of you worried you might be too sensitive, the scroll wheel means that you have full control of the power. It starts out low and rumbly, which is really nice.

2. It is a great couples toy. My OH loved using it on me during foreplay as he had control of the power, and I think this could be even better if I had been tied up. It is also really good for clitoral stimulation during sex when you are in a position which gives you room to use the wand (e.g. doggy, reverse cowgirl).

3. The scroll wheel allows for huge amounts of control, and this is what really sets this wand apart from many others, which may only have 2 speeds!

4. The vibrations really travel well, I can press this to my Venus mound, and still feel the vibrations on my clit, and all down the rest of my vulva.

5. I used this by myself with the Lovemoiselle Aveline ceramic dildo. Pressed into the base of the dildo I could feel the intense vibrations inside and out. It has a similar effect during sex, turning my partners penis into a real life vibrator.

6. The massages! This is after all what wands were designed for. Ours does not leave our bedside table for this reason. The vibrations go really deep into your muscles, relieving any pain or tension; and the neck of the wand is incredibly flexible, so it can get into every curve of your body.

7. During massage I put the wand against my partners bum, and he actually really enjoyed the feeling - so despite a few years of telling me he doesn’t want me going near his prostate, we’ve just ordered some anal toys.

8. Mains powered means I’m never going to run out of batteries at an important time.

9. Considering how powerful the wand is I’m impressed that it isn’t louder. It could be masked with medium volume mood music.

10. It is incredibly sturdy, I can see this bad boy lasting me years!

Cons:

1. The scroll wheel is perhaps a tad too loose, and can easily be knocked just as you’re getting to the crucial moment!

2. The wand is very thick, so can get in the way during sex depending upon the position you’re in.

3. The ridges on the head of the wand can be quite difficult to clean as they are very tightly spaced.

4. An extension cable might be necessary for those whose bed/sofa/dining table is quite far away from a plug socket, however my partner and I have found it an ample length, reaching to the other side of our double bed. We do have a socket right next to us however.

5. You need to be careful while giving a massage with this wand on high, as if you place the wand directly on the bone it feels very strange, and can be painful.

To conclude, I really do think everyone needs one of these, it’s not just for the single girl, but makes a great couples toy too. The massages are amazing, and on top of this the packaging mentioned some LH wand attachments in the pipeline - I can’t wait!

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Amazing couples toy. Insanely powerful at its highest but scrollwheel gives you brilliant control!

Cons: Ridges on the head of the wand are difficult to clean.

Bottom Line: Three words: you NEED one.

China Brush Delay Solution 3ml

Ancient Chinese Secrets to Epic Sex

Again, following some umming and ahhing of my own, I thought, “What the heck… What’s the worst that can happen, right?” and ordered some. Landed the very next day and very happy not to have to go to the post office to collect it!

So I opened it up and immediately I thought WTF to the very small bottle inside and the very strong cough medicine smell coming from the brown liquid inside. The broken English explanation was confusing to say the least but straight to the Lovehoney site and the comments lead me in the right direction.

Well first, listen to the advise of others here! I can’t stress this enough!

Less is more people! Less is most definitely more!

I coated the head of my penis and the underside of my shaft. I’m ashamed to say I’m a bit of a one thrust wonder and I thought if I’m going to coat my cock in this foul smelling liquid and hope for the best I may as well give it a good one!

I wish I hadn’t!

About 30 minutes later the tingling started kicking in. “Not as bad as everyone was making out,” I thought. Wrong. 10 minutes later it started burning in the same manner as cystitis does. I persevered through another 10 minutes then washed it off. It took another 15 minutes for the feeling to subside and after this I wasn’t really in the mood for any hanky panky.

Well, Mrs D was. My cock wasn’t really interested. I mean, he was but it took a bit more persuading that usual. For me this was probably a good thing!

After a bout of lengthy foreplay it was time to test the waters. A few thrusts in and I thought I was about to blow so I backed off a bit and let it fade off. This was the last time I felt the build up until the missus had orgasmed twice and the second time we exploded together after some serious hard action from my behalf.

Seriously, I was like the Energizer Bunny. At Christmas. On Crack. And Horny as Hell!

Not quite sure what they put in this stuff but it’s damn good! Going to give it another go with about half the coverage next time though. When she’s not walking like John Wayne that is!

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Shagging like the Energizer Bunny.

Cons: Feeling like I had cystitis.

Bottom Line: Use less, shag more and shag hard!

TENGA 3D Module Male Masturbator

Pleasure: The Third Dimension

Strokers are my favourite kind of toy. In fact you could say that I am a little obsessed with them. So when I heard that TENGA had released a new range of male masturbators I naturally couldn’t wait to try one out.

Like its bigger brothers in the TENGA stable, the 3D Module Male Masturbator comes in a solid plastic display case which does a superb job of keeping the toy clean and safe when not in use.

The sleeve itself is made from a lovely soft squidgy material. I have used strokers that are fractionally softer but they tend not to be very durable and are a real pain to look after. There are also toys that are a tiny bit more durable but they are made from much harder and less enjoyable materials. TENGA has got the mix absolutely perfect here.

Both sides of this stroker deliver incredibly intense pleasure, although the “module” side is my favourite. While my other “real feel” toys attempt to mimic vaginal intercourse, this toy provides feelings that are more like oral sex. Either way, I cannot fault the TENGA 3D in this area. The sensations are wonderful!

Something that bugs me with strokers is when they are unwieldy or difficult to use. Nothing kills the mood faster than losing control of your toy. Thankfully TENGA has got it just right: the sleeve is light, easy to grip and the perfect length for easy one-handed use.

Another area where this toy really shines is volume. I can honestly say I have never used a quieter stroker so there are no annoying noises to detract from the amazing sensations either.

Cleaning and drying it is a piece of cake. Simply clean the sleeve under a tap then place it on the supplied stand until it is dry. Another well thought out design from the TENGA boffins.

Even though the sleeve is soft it is not sticky so it does not pick up fluff and dust like other “real feel” toys, and there is no need for renewal powder to keep the sleeve in good condition either. This sleeve is as maintenance free as it is likely to get.

The TENGA 3D Module Male Masturbator is the complete package: soft, durable, quiet, easy to use and simple to maintain. There might be strokers that match it in certain areas but none have the TENGA’s all-round consistency. It is at or near the top in every single category. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Amazing sensations, quiet, durable, easy to use and clean.

Cons: None.

Bottom Line: The best all-round stroker I have ever used.

PicoBong Kiki Silicone Clitoral Vibrator

PicoBong Kiki

An unmarked brown envelope for me?

It must only be from Lovehoney. I ripped open the ever-so discreet packaging and found a pretty little Picobong Kiki vibrator - made by the luxury toy company Lelo - in blue looking back at me.

Upon first glance, the Kiki looks very much like a G-Spot vibrator because of the curved shape. The only difference is that it is considerably smaller. PicoBong claims it’s a “C-Spot” vibrator (why they couldn’t just call it a clit vibe to save the hassle of confusing people is beyond me). It claims to be waterproof, near silent and body safe.

The material is silky to the touch and the overall quality of the toy is very impressive.

The range of vibration is also very good. You are able to change the speed and intensity by simply pushing the + and - buttons within the PicoBong logo. There is a setting for every taste on this little vibe.

I found it to be a very good vibe to stroke and tease but I am a fan of strong vibrations, which this can do but I can already feel the battery dying off after a couple of intense uses (I’m an advocate of the rechargeable vibrator).

It DOES work fine in the bath as well, which was a lot of fun

It’s a fantastically made toy and a little bit of luxury for a lower budget.

Just don’t be fooled into thinking this will make a good G-Spot vibe… it’s too small to use comfortably for that.

Overall Rating: 8 out of 10 stars

Pros: I like the shape and the speed/pulsation variations.

Cons: It’s deceptive. Looks like a G-spot toy but it’s not.

Bottom Line: A well made, pocket friendly clit vibe.

Lelo Ina Luxury Rechargeable Rabbit Vibrator

I may be in love with this brand now

I’m pretty much a sex toy virgin. The only sex toy I’ve ever owned or used prior to the Lelo Ina is a silver bullet that a friend gave me. I thought that vibrators were all garish, either frighteningly large, distressingly exaggerated, or childishly detailed with marketing by Lisa Frank; in short, items that put me off aesthetically and made me uncomfortable, not interested.

Now, I’m living across an ocean from my boyfriend of several years, and my boyfriend told me that he would like to get me a vibrator as a gift while I was away, and I took him up on it. A friend pointed me to LH, and because it defied all of my preconceptions about vibrators and the reviews were excellent. This was one of the things that I told him about.

First of all, most the reasons that I even suggested it are evident before you buy. It comes in purple, which I love. The aesthetics are pleasing, not tacky at all, reminiscent of the ‘hips’ on cars like the Lotus or classic Corvettes. It’s rechargeable, which I was happy about because I’m familiar with the difference between fresh batteries and non-fresh batteries in my bullet. The Lovehoney guarantee and Lelo warranties are great and reassuring of quality. And, most important for me if I was going to get a rechargeable toy while I’m in the UK, it has world voltage. I can order a US or World-Travel adapter from Lelo at any time, or just use a plug adapter on my existing UK charger. If you travel at all regularly, this is a feature that’s difficult to find in a lot of appliances.

When it arrives, the outer packaging is discreet and the Lelo packaging is beautiful, as others have stated, and very appropriate for a gift. I keep my Ina in its black satin pouch, even when it’s charging if my flatmates are home, without any problems.

The tool itself has a velvety-smooth texture on the coloured portion and a glossy-smooth finish with a seam on the bottom part, with silicone buttons. Everything about it is smooth, essentially, and it makes me feel sexy to look at and feel. There is a slight silicone smell, but nothing too intrusive or bothersome. The buttons are simple and intuitive, even for a sex toy novice like myself and even in the midst of use. It has 8 settings, some of which I like better than others, and the power can be turned up or down, so it really is highly customizable. I’m sure that people with quite variable tastes can achieve clitoral, G-spot, or blended orgasms with the Ina if they give it a good chance and play around with the settings a bit.

In fact, at first I was a little confused and hesitant in using the Ina. When I first tried inserting it, the clitoral arm pinched a little and was uncomfortable, but as I became more comfortable with the toy and with using a vibrator in general, I figured out the best ways to position the Ina to get both good G-spot stimulation and good G-spot stimulation. The larger portion is great for clitoral stimulation as well, and the handle is actually quite ergonomic for this when you turn the Ina over with the handle pointing up to the stomach. The motor is strong enough that even though with a bullet I usually need very direct stimulation, I can use more indirect methods with the Ina to prolong and vary my sessions. I tried another reviewer’s suggestion, laying on my stomach, and also had great results turning the Ina somewhat to the side, so that the arm rests alongside the clitoris and along the length of the labia. Despite the strong vibrations, it is very quiet; the highest setting is a low hum when covered by a duvet.

At this point, I’ve gone from not knowing what I was doing at all, to having a pretty good idea of how to please myself. Not only that, but using the Ina gives me more relief from headaches than my bullet did, as the cessation of pain extends beyond the actual masturbatory time, which I think is a factor of the stronger orgasms.

Basically, this toy is a great tool for a healthy sex life, solo or otherwise. It doesn’t replace the deep penetrative sensations of some kinds of sex, but definitely is useful to create a variety of intense, satisfying orgasms. I couldn’t be more pleased with my anniversary present. While it can’t replace my boyfriend, having this in my bedside drawer means that I don’t have to miss feeling sexually satisfied as well.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: It’s elegant, powerful, rechargeable, world-voltage and easy for even a novice.

Cons: The clitoral arm was a little tricky to position at first.

Bottom Line: A wonderful, effective toy that I am proud to own. Great for travel.

Clone-A-Willy Vibrator Moulding Kit

A good bit of fun

What could be better than having the ‘willy’ you love as your vibrator too?!

I bought this, knowing I enjoy a bit of solo fun and also miss my fella’s ‘willy’ during our long-distance relationship!

Well… if it only it was that simple! I ended up having to buy 2 kits in the end as we completely mucked up the first attempt and even the 2nd attempt we didn’t get quite perfect :S

Although to be fair we’re not the creative types so if you are you might get on better than us!

To warn you of our mistakes… Work VERY quickly. The instructions do tell you this but we still managed to let the mixture go hard before getting his willy in there!

The 2nd mistake we made was my fella pushed in too far and so the mould then went flat at the end. Make sure you leave some mixture left at the bottom and don’t let your fella push all the way in so his willy touches the end of the tube!

Don’t be put off though. It is very fun making this. Make sure you have a plan of action to get and keep your man ready as it’s not the sexiest of processes!

And once made the vibrator is pretty cool. My fella gets pretty turned on by me using a replica of him and being able to use 2 of him at the same time

Last tip: Make sure the vibrator sits perfectly in the middle. Mine went wonky! lol

Overall Rating: 7 out of 10 stars

Pros: A good end product when you get it right!

Cons: Difficult to make.

Bottom Line: Worth a try as makes ‘the perfect vibrator’.

Lelo Luna Pleasure Bead System

Jiggle jiggle jiggle jiggle jiggle Yeah

I had been wanting to try Ben Wa balls for a while after reading the reviews on there. I’m always looking to add to my toy box. I have some pretty intense orgasms but I wondered if they could be made better somehow. So I gave these a try.

I chose the luxury, pricier brand as they looked and sounded better made than the other options. I also liked the fact that you could change the weights as you got more used to them.

I discovered I had a kind of weak pelvic floor when I sneeze but after using these half a dozen times, I noticed a definite improvement and found it much easier to do Kegel exercises without the balls. Something I had struggled to get the hang of before I used them.

I even had a guy comment that I was “really, really tight”, something that I had never been told before using them. Results right there.

Another thing I love about this product is that, if you can hold them in comfortably, you can wear them anywhere. I wore them to the gym, and knowing that no one else knew I had them inside me as a bit of a turn-on. I also felt that they had given my vagina a better work out with all that jumping around! Must have been working harder to hold them in. They also feel pretty nice when going down the stairs.

If you are after these to make you orgasm they are probably not the product you are after as with these alone you probably would not. Hence the reasonably low Orgasm Rating. But as an aid to make orgasms better they are a definite must for any woman.

They are easy to clean and the packaging they come in is beautiful! They do not look seedy or sleazy in any way. The vibration they emit is less of a vibration and more of a gentle jiggle. It is pleasurable not to an orgasmic extent. You won\t be shaking uncontrollably in the middle of Asda.

It might take a few tries to get them in properly. They come with a full set of instructions, which I thought was really good. I found it easier, at first, to put them in lying down. Some might need lube, or running them under the tap first might work.

Overall, a fantastic product that I would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to improve their sexual health, sex life and pelvic floor muscles. Which must be pretty much everyone?

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: Discreet, beautiful packaging and improves pelvic floor noticeably.

Cons: On the pricey side - but worth every penny.

Bottom Line: A must for a woman of any age. Improves pelvic floor and ultimately, orgasms!

Fun Factory Bootie Butt Plug

Perfectly formed

It arrived in inoffensive packaging, which is always a plus point; I’ve never understood why you wouldn’t want sleazy porn pictures on the box for a sex toy.

The plug will sit easily in the palm of your hand and is made of a high quality silicone. The plug itself is quite flexible with the exception of the part actually making entry, which is a bit firmer.

There is no smell or greasy residue from the plug and with a small amount of lube it’s good to go.

In use the firmness of the tip of the plug allows it to be slid inside without any difficulty, the plug being quite small. There is a difference of about an inch in circumference between the neck and head of the plug, and once past the head the body tends to suck up the rest.

My partner enjoyed the plug immensely, being able to feel the motion of my cock inside her being transmitted to her ass. The curve of the plug making it move backwards and forwards as I thrusted in and out.

The one problem I had was that the base of the plug was slightly too long for my partner, spanning the distance between her ass and pussy easily and giving a bit of overlap, meaning that during sex I could feel the plug rubbing uncomfortably against me for some of the time. It was not something overly painful though, just an annoyance in certain positions, and likely to only be a problem if you are petite.

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars

Pros: High quality, colour, value and feels amazing.

Cons: The base is slightly lengthy.

Bottom Line: Excellent product, one of the best butt plugs for beginners or pros.

Bondage Boutique Luxury Gift Set

Great set

This is a great gift set for anyone wanting to experiment a little with bondage. All the items are of good quality and comfortable to use.

May seem strange to mention comfort when talking about bondage but, personally speaking, bondage is more about submission than anything else. Pain and discomfort would kind of kill the mood for me.

The feather tipped crop we already own and find it better for stroking and teasing than anything else. The part that holds the feathers is a bit too solid to be hit with for my taste.

The blindfold does what you would expect. It is comfortable and, as long as you don’t peek downwards, effective. All mask type blindfolds seem to have this problem. There is just no one size fits all where noses are concerned.

The ball gag may be the only letdown for me. It is effective but not something that floats my boat. Why obstruct a perfectly serviceable mouth?

I was very surprised by the softness of the shibari rope as well as the amount. 10 meters is enough to restrain just about anyone. Not something we have experimented with in the past but there is certainly some further investigating going to happen.

The big surprise was the cuffs. They were great!

I thought that the material was a bit too lightweight but the soft fabric allows them to fit perfectly round your wrist and, unlike many other cuffs, the fastening has enough adjustment to allow for slimmer wrists.

The velvet finish is soft enough for these to be worn for a prolonged period without any discomfort and the tie between the cuffs is, for us, an ideal length.

All in all I would rate this as the best bondage set I have seen for people looking to try something new over the festive season while not looking overly Christmassy for any other time of year.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Really is a complete set. Everything for a fun filled night.

Cons: Nothing.

Bottom Line: Good quality and it is nice to have a matching set.

China Brush Delay Solution

It has changed my sex life

Like all of the others on here I was looking for something to enable me to last longer with my wife and had tried a few other items with limited success. I read the reviews on here and decided for the price that this was worth a trial.

I applied it about 90 minutes before sex and it began to sting after about 60 minutes. I went to shower and it was still stinging so I was getting concerned about what I had done.

The results are fantastic. My wife had 4 orgasms and I ended up forcing myself to cum as we were getting tired. We have used it several times since and are experimenting with how much to use as when I have applied too much I have not been able to cum (however I feel like such a stud I don’t care!).

Not only great for our sex life but great for self-confidence and I have just ordered another two bottles of it just in case it goes out of stock. All I need now is to improve my wife’s sex drive.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: It does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Cons: I was nervous about lack of instructions.

Bottom Line: Fantastic!

Sliquid Ride Dude Lube

The Only Lube You Will Ever Need

Having tried and tested several different lubes (starting with water-based until a little research suggested silicone-based) I was a little sceptical when my OH brandished this bottle in front of me. We were new to anal at this point, mainly due to the issues we were having with lube, and I was all but ready to give up.

Thank God my OH is a nerd who does his research!

Although the bottle is a little bit masculine for me (I have tiny hands compared to the OH) the lube was a lovely consistency from the get go. As it is silicone-based it does not have the “chill factor” I have experienced with water bases. We started with a little on the OH’s hands and a little on my skin. The lube certainly goes a long, long way, so be economical with it to start with and build up as you need to.

We used the lube for fingers, on a non-silicone (do not use with silicone as it will damage your toys!) vibrator and for anal sex. We played with it for a good long while and this lube just does not die. It seems to get more slippy with the body heat too.

After so many bad experiences I have finally found the answer to good, enjoyable anal sex! Buy it!

I will say be careful with your good sheets though as this lube will stain them, so perhaps lay down something you are not scared to ruin! Although, with this lube in hand and some good times ahead, you will more than likely not care.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Does exactly what it should.

Cons: Large masculine bottle.

Bottom Line: Great for anal, I will never turn back.

Lovehoney Booty Buddy Silicone Butt Plug

A fantastic addition to anyone’s collection

I’ll keep this one fairly short. The Lovehoney Booty Buddy Silicone Butt Plug is as cheap and effective toy that you’re going to find if you want to experience some great anal sensations. I was looking to stimulate my prostate easily and effectively, whether during sex with my partner or on my own, and have achieved fantastic sensations with this little butt plug.

I’ve been into anal for a while now, and am still searching for the elusive prostate orgasm. This simple toy (which I got for a fiver on a Deal of the Day!) has gotten me as close as I have ever been to one. I’ve tried out some Aneros toys, larger prostate massagers; at least five or six other, more expensive toys; and have had more fun with this butt plug than I have with all of the rest put together.

It’s not huge, so anal beginners should be able to manage it easily enough, and the shape is such that you’ll feel an instant sensation on your prostate. The toy stays in no problem, and doesn’t require buckets of lube to get in due to its handy size, so it’s perfect to keep in during sex. For solo use, as has been mentioned by another reviewer, slipping this in and rocking away is the most effective way of stimulating the prostate. I’ve not actually orgasmed from this alone yet, but I’ve come damn well close (as such, I’m leaving the orgasm rating for the review at a neutral 5 stars).

As it is quite a small toy, you won’t get that ‘filled up’ feeling, which some people may find necessary to fully enjoy anal. But the butt plug doesn’t advertise this as one of its selling points, so this aspect should be fairly obvious. I just figured it was worth a mention as it can be hard to gauge the exact size from looking at the product page. You can definitely notice that it’s in there, but it won’t stretch you out at all.

The material is light, durable and does not smell a bit; the latter point something I was particularly happy with. It just feels like a quality toy, and at an absolute bargain of a price. I can definitely see this lasting a long time!

Ultimately, I would say that this is a no-brainer if you’re interested in some anal play. Perfect for beginners due to its size and effective enough to warrant some more experienced users giving it a go - I definitely have not regretted it!

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: More effective for prostate stimulation than a lot more expensive toys.

Cons: Nothing at all.

Bottom Line: A no brainer if you’re interested in some anal sensations.

Lovehoney Double Wow Strapless Strap-On Dildo 7 Inch

Double the fun

When I first removed this toy from the box I was a little worried about how big it looked, but when I put the small end in it felt great and I knew it was going to be a keeper.

The first time I used it with my partner I thought I might have trouble with it falling out, but it only seems to be a problem if you’re really wet and even then it is quite controllable. Having experienced both ends it feels really great either way. I highly recommend this toy for lesbian couples.

It is made from a great material and has just enough bend, and once warmed to body temperature, which doesn’t take long, it no longer feels like a dildo - it feels like part of the person.

It has a way of making you feel so intimate with each other. I think it’s the face to face contact that you cannot obtain with a lot of other toys on the market with the added bonus of no unsightly leather straps.

It’s a thumbs up for me. I really can’t fault it. It’s definitely changed my sex life for the better, and has given me and my partner so many memorable orgasms. Every lesbian should have one!

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Great feel, really intimate toy.

Cons: Slipped out every so often but not enough to worry about.

Bottom Line: Best sex toy I own!

Latex Stockings

Fun, if tricky

My boyfriend and I like to experiment, and he LOVES stockings and tights, so we thought that these might be fun! I practiced putting them on before the ‘big night’ and I was glad I did, as if you’re not used to latex (and I’m not - these are my first latex items) they’re more than a bit tricky to get on. First of all you have to peel them apart, and then you have to get them on without a) ripping them or b) trapping air inside so your feet look like balloons… not a good look!

Top tip: to get them on, roll them all the way down to the toe to begin with (think: giant black condom!) and then roll them up your legs. This lets you keep the air out without lots of pulling and tugging.

If you don’t have any already, definitely get some of the latex shiner - these are not at all shiny out of the packet, and it’s worth the extra money to get that shine.

Another point is that, contrary to the box, I couldn’t get these to stay up on their own. Fortunately the latex is strong enough that I could use a suspender belt without tearing, and I must say they looked even sexier with the belt. Might even getting a matching latex one at some point

Finally on to the most important thing: how did they look? Well, very sexy! The boyfriend was very impressed, and they certainly contributed to a very steamy night

Overall Rating: 8 out of 10 stars

Pros: Very sexy, and the latex was stronger than I expected!

Cons: Won’t stay up by themselves, tricky to put on.

Bottom Line: Very fun, and worth the preparation time!

Bondage Boutique Soft Handcuffs

Great value, great fun

I was a bit unsure about Velcro cuffs, thinking they’d be easy to pull off and, to be honest, a bit cheap and nasty. But I was tempted into getting these by the price and the other reviews.

I’m very glad I did. The cuffs are very soft, and exceedingly comfortable. The edges don’t rub, and they don’t need to be ‘broken in’ like some leather cuffs do. The material feels very high quality and the manufacturing does too - all the stitching was strong and they look like they’ll last a long time.

One of the features I like is that they will fit both wrists and ankles easily. The cuffs only clip together, but with the application of a few more you can come up with all sorts of arrangements. We used one pair around the bedposts and one pair around the wrists - joined together, they worked a treat. You can, in theory, undo them by yourself (it was the first thing we tested), but it’s pretty tricky and I don’t think you’d be able to without getting caught.

I’m not sure how easy they’d be to clean if you got anything on them, though - I would have thought they’d be okay to gently handwash, but it would probably be worth trying to avoid spillages if you can.

Overall, these are wonderful value, and an awful lot of fun. It’s worth having a pair even if you already have other cuffs. They’re thin and lightweight enough to travel with, and don’t look quite as dodgy as leather cuffs can. It would be nice if they were available in other colours (especially black), but I like the purple a lot more than I expected to, and it’s not like you really notice when you’re using them anyway…

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: Very comfortable but sturdy, wonderful quality for the price.

Cons: Nothing… Maybe more colours?

Bottom Line: Nice alternatives to leather cuffs, good for all occasions.

Mains Powered 7 Speed Wand Essentials Massage Wand

Massage Wand vs Hitachi

I bought this because I had wanted the Hitachi massager for a while and couldn’t get hold of it so this was the next best thing.

I’m so glad I couldn’t get what I originally wanted! A couple of my friends have the Hitachi version and in comparison the Lovehoney version is much better.

It has 7 different speeds so you can start off on a low setting or you can whack it right up to full. The ones my friends have are only low or high, which can be a bit much for someone using it for the first time.

I really like the variation I can have by switching it from 1 to 3 and up to 6 and back down to 3 etc. It’s super easy to change as you can hold the wand with your thumb on the switch so just flick it up or down while you’re in action.

I also got an attachment with mine and it fits snugly on the end no problem. Although amusingly it does rotate around the head of the wand if it’s not ‘in use’. I believe this wand is the same size as the Hitachi so you can buy attachments intended for either wand.

I commonly use this and a simple realistic dildo together and have saved so much money on batteries because it’s mains-powered!

It can also be used during sex - spoon position is best- but make sure you have an extension cable as you might want to experiment and the cord isn’t very long.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars

Pros: The seven different speeds, mains-powered.

Cons: Small cord but it’s not a major issue.

Bottom Line: Brilliant! My most used sex toy!
