Review: Wands of Lust Co Hercules

Wands of Lust Co Hercules

The world of crystals and harnessing their energy for healing and meditation is a truly fascinating one. I’ve tried a few sex toys now that make use of this unique material, and learning about their different properties and how they can bring positive change to your life is just as mesmerising as actually using them. But alas, despite my interest and efforts, I don’t know how much I find myself truly understanding these things beyond reading about them. Instead, I mostly just think crystals look pretty, and that’s okay too. So when Wands of Lust Co recently approached me about sending another of their products, I knew I wanted to go in a totally different direction visually than my previous review on their Aphrodite. And what’s more different from the translucent pink of rose quartz, than the endless black of pure obsidian?

Review: Wands of Lust Co Aphrodite

Wands of Lust Co Aphrodite

Sex toys are a unique product in that, as something that is generally seen as risqué and not socially acceptable, people tend to find ways to categorise them so that they become acceptable. It means that rather than just being seen as a plain old vibrator or dildo, with nothing to offer but pleasure (so scary), alternative uses are found that can help take some of that edge off and make them more approachable. There are the geeks and fantasy lovers, who create toys based around pop culture for the ultimate roleplay experience, the artists and design lovers who see toys more like sculptures to be admired, and the nerds and tech lovers who want to innovate sex by connecting toys to our smartphones. But the type I want to talk about today is the wellness and spirituality lovers, who see sex toys as a way to deeply connect with your body and soul. And no product is more popular with this crowd than the iconic rose quartz wand.

Review: Nephrite Jade Yoni Egg

Nephrite Jade Yoni Egg

Two things I am hoping to try more of this year are toys made of stone or crystal, and kegel toys. So when I was recently browsing Mojoco’s website to choose toys to review for them, you can imagine my excitement when I saw they sell yoni eggs. Yoni eggs, for those of you who are unfamiliar with them, are essentially the two things I was after combined: a stone egg designed to strengthen your kegel muscles. While I have tried other types of kegel toys previously, I’ve always been a little hesitant to request a yoni egg for review, since unlike the rest they do not come with an attached string for easy removal, and the idea of struggling to retrieve it from my vagina has always freaked me out. But I decided it was about time to face that fear, and was excited when Mojoco decided to send me their Certified Nephrite Jade Egg.

Review: Laid D.1 Stone Dildo

Laid D.1 Stone

I’ve always been very interested in the healing and enhancement properties that come with different types of stones or crystals. I have very fond memories as a kid of picking out stones that were supposed to help me in certain areas, such as ‘improves your art’ or ‘helps you make friends’, and I still have a rather large collection. As such, I have lusted after the stone collection of toys from Laid ever since I first saw them. Unfortunately Laid products are both expensive and not very common to see in Australia, so they quickly fell to the bottom of my wishlist. Last month however I announced my partnership and affiliation with Australian retailer JOUJOU. As part of this I was able to choose a product from their range to review, and you can imagine my excitement when I saw they stocked Laid. I was most interested in their original dildo design, the Laid D.1 Stone, and set about eagerly waiting for it to arrive.
