Review: Honey Play Box Joi

Honey Play Box Joi

As the range of options for clitoral stimulation increases over the years, I suppose it is only inevitable that these new styles will eventually be available in rabbit form. The bane of any sex toy reviewer’s existence, it was difficult enough to find a vibrating dual-stimulator to match your own body measurements, let alone one with a suction nozzle or flicking tongue. Yet while I have had some unexpected success with air pressure rabbits so far in the form of the Womanizer DUO, I have thankfully been able to avoid the latter of the two due to my general indifference to those little flapping pieces of silicone. That is, until now. When Honey Play Box recently approached me to review their brand new product, the Joi, it seemed it was finally time to give this rising star of the sex toy world a go. Which may or may not have been highly influenced by the fact that it comes in my favourite colour, which I’ve never had a vibrator in before.

Review: Share Satisfaction Coco

Share Satisfaction Coco

I spend a lot of time at the blog talking about the flourishing independent dildo maker scene happening in Australia and New Zealand right now. In fact, I even did a full round-up all about the various local small businesses that have recently started selling their own lubricants. But one of the things I haven’t discussed nearly enough is the exciting range of vibrators currently being produced down under. Stores such as Frenchie, LBDO, Normal and Vacation Vibes are just some of the brands leading the charge in Australia right now, whilst across the pond we have Wellington success story Share Satisfaction. I remember watching as their flagship product, Kama, became one of the country’s best-selling sex toys in 2020 and 2021, and since then I’ve been eager to get my hands on their products to try. So when they recently reached out and asked if I would like to review their Coco, it was an instant yes!

Review: Funzze Couple Sharing Vibrator Ⅱ

Funzze Couple Sharing Vibrator Ⅱ

Last week at the blog I looked at a new range of toys based around the idea of not using gendered marketing or specifying a particular use, so that users could instead make their own decisions on how to go about enjoying them. But whilst the Sunflower and the rest of Evolved Novelties’ Gender X range were certainly non-gendered, their line of mostly classic sex toys still couldn’t shake off the methods of use that we’ve already come to associate them with. So for today’s review, I’m looking to take this idea one step further, with a vibrator that’ll really get your imagination going. The Funzze Couple Sharing Vibrator II is a new style of sex toy that I’ve watched go viral over the past few years. With two rounded prongs at one end and a large shaft at the other, there is no immediately obvious way to use this product, and this sense of choice has made the design a popular option when shopping with white-label retailers.

Review: Gender X Sunflower

Gender X Sunflower

Navigating the world of sex toys as a non-binary queer person is not easy. Go to almost any online sex store, and you’ll see a menu with categories like “female”, “male”, “couples”, “gay” and “lesbian”. But where do I fit? I could choose female, my gender assigned at birth, but what if I want a toy I can use solo and with a partner, and what if I don’t know the gender of said partner? It gives me a headache just thinking about it, and that’s as someone with almost a decade of experience in the industry. So I can’t imagine the difficulties that arise for someone new to all this, regardless of how you identify. Because at the end of the day, it’s all bullshit. Sex toys have no gender or sexuality, and the vast majority of them can be used by anyone, regardless of your genitals or preference of partner. So when Betty’s Toy Box (one of the few retailers doing the right thing by categorising toys by type and which body part they stimulate) recently introduced me to Evolved Novelties’ new brand Gender X, which offers a range of gender-neutral sex toys, I signed right up to review the Sunflower.

Review: Funzze Flower Tongue

Funzze Flower Tongue

It was a little over a year ago that I had the pleasure of reviewing the viral Rose Vibe. I had no idea what to expect from a toy TikTok had dubbed the “soul snatcher”, but it didn’t take me long to realise that this was no exaggeration. Since then, this white-label toy and its two siblings, which are now most commonly known as The Rose, The Bloom and The Kiss after US distributor NS Novelties acquired them for their INYA brand, have continued to gain popularity as their availability has soared. So, considering my love for “The Rose”, with it even coming in at Number 5 on my Top 10 of Sex Toys of 2021, it seemed only right that I review another one of these toys, and thanks to retailer Funzze that’s exactly what I’m doing today with The Kiss, or as they like to call it, the Flower Tongue.

Review: Womanizer Marilyn Monroe

Womanizer Marilyn Monroe Special Edition

Of the five core products in Womanizer’s current portfolio, there is only one I have yet to try. The Classic 2, which offers a step up from the Womanizer Liberty while not being quite as powerful as the Premium, has managed to elude my grasp so far. In fact, I had a similar experience with its predecessor, and when I finally did get one, it was sadly discontinued before I could review it. So when I recently heard Womanizer were bringing out a limited edition version of the Classic 2, and Lovehoney asked if I’d like to try it out, I was more than a little excited, not wanting history to repeat. However, the Womanizer Marilyn Monroe Special Edition has since proven to be quite the controversial release, with some fans of the late actress and model praising the German brand for honouring her legacy of empowerment, whilst others have condemned it, noting that her inability to consent to the use of her name runs parallel to the objectification she suffered during her lifetime.
