Wand massagers are my second favourite type of sex toy (for a long time they were my first, until my love for suction toys finally won out), although until recently I hadn’t really reviewed that many. Over the last few weeks, however, I’ve shared my thoughts on a huge range of shapes and sizes, and all at a lower price point than I usually review. Last week’s post seemed to be a culmination of this, with it not only being my longest massager ever, but my cheapest, and it was pretty dang good too. But I’m not done yet, because this week I’m turning around and going in the opposite direction, with the smallest massager I’ve reviewed so far. In fact, the YoYoLemon Mini Wand is so small, I’m not even sure calling it a wand is appropriate. Thankfully size is the only big difference between this toy and the Funzze Massager, though, as at just $60 AUD / $40 USD it is still very reasonably priced.
Review: Funzze Massager
Prices are going up, and as the cost of living crisis continues, standard groceries, household bills and luxuries like beauty goods are costing more than ever. Perhaps it’s not the same in every corner of the globe (I hope), but in Australia it is exhausting. Thankfully, however, this has not seemed to affect sex toys. In fact, they are becoming increasingly affordable, with dildos being made out of body-safe silicone no longer coming at a premium and even the relatively new air pressure wave trend setting you back only $60 AUD / $40 USD if you go with the bestselling Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation. Really the only product this price-drop has not seemed to affect is the wand massager, which is a real shame, because it’s also the one style of toy that I believe everyone should own a copy of. Sure, there’s been improvements, for instance my beloved Magic Wand Rechargeable, which was previously only available for $195 AUD / $130 USD, now has the cheaper Magic Wand Mini for $80 AUD / $55 USD less. But even this can be a lot to pay. So, over the past few months I’ve been on a hunt for budget wands to recommend, and the Funzze Massager is the cheapest I’ve come across so far.
Review: Bestvibe Flirting Magic Wand
It’s been five months now since I moved, and yet I’ve only just finished unpacking all of my sex toys. Rather than having a bedside table filled with all the wonderful perks of my job like usual during this time, I instead had to choose just one toy to get me by. My selection, of course, had to be my beloved Magic Wand Rechargeable, which remains my favourite toy despite also being one of the oldest offerings in my collection. Spending all of this quality time with a wand massager really reminded me just how much I love them, and even though they may not be the trendiest toy right now, they are still unbeatable in terms of versatility and power. So, when Bestvibe approached me about reviewing some toys from their store recently, I told them there had to be a wand massager, and they directed me to their Flirting Magic Wand.
Review: Monster Pub MOOMA
Even though my last review of a Monster Pub product was all the way back in 2020, they have remained on my mind and on my blog as one of my sponsors for much of the last three years, and it has been exciting to watch their unique collection of toys grow. This is because, unlike other sex toy manufacturers, Monster Pub makes use of characters with different personalities and appearances for their toys, as a way to combat stigma around adult products by reminding us that they really are just toys. When purchasing any of their core catalogue, you can select between their Master Gokilla, Doctor Whale and Mister Devil, and your choice will not only affect the colour your product comes in, but slight visual and textural adjustments will also change the way you’re stimulated. Recently, however, there has been a new addition to the family, and I’m excited for you all to finally meet MOOMA today!
Review: 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
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.
