Clitoral Stimulator, Reviews, Silicone, USB Rechargeable, Womanizer

Review: Womanizer Premium 2

Unlike most other major toy manufacturers, luxury clitoral stimulator brand Womanizer only offers a small catalogue of products. The five core designs, whose differences mostly relate to their increasing price tags, are the Starlet, Liberty, Classic, Premium and DUO, and while I have tried all of them, I have reviewed only three so far. Without a doubt, however, my favourite is the Womanizer Premium. In fact, it’s not just my favourite Womanizer, but my favourite suction toy in general, and my second favourite toy of all time (just behind the Magic Wand Rechargeable). So when I heard the German brand was upgrading three of their designs and the Premium was one of them, I was all in. Keeping it simple with the addition of a quick version number, the new models are the Starlet 3, Classic 2, and Premium 2, with their older versions since being discontinued (although there is still plenty around to buy and with most stores offering them at a discount!). As for the differences, in addition to new colours and updated branding (including more sustainable packaging!), Womanizer have also up the ante with their suction levels, which suggests updates for the Liberty and DUO might not be far away either.

Review: Momotaro Apotheca Salve

You know how they say bad things happen for a reason? Well I don’t really believe that, but I do have one such example. I had just turned 18 and a month after my birthday was Melbourne’s biannual sex convention. I knew next to nothing about sex toys, asides from the fact that I wanted them, and embarrassingly picked out a few options from a popular “$10 or less” stand. I saved them for an upcoming trip away with my ex and was so excited to try them out on that first night, yet as soon as I did I felt some of the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. It felt like my vagina was literally on fire, but being young and in an unfamiliar area, we didn’t seek help. At the time I thought it must be my problem, and I continued thinking that way until I finally decided I needed answers. I learned about the dangers of unsafe sex toys and how my experience was extremely common yet unspoken. With that, I knew I wanted to dedicate myself to helping to spread awareness, and shortly after I started Princess Previews.

Closetplay Sex Toys, Dildos, Reviews, Silicone

Review: Closetplay Speedster

In October 2021 the sex toy world suffered a huge loss. Geeky Sex Toys, Australia’s first (and, for a long time, only) independent maker of silicone toys, closed their virtual doors. Pioneers of the fantasy genre, they introduced the idea of mixing pop culture with sex toys for all us “naughty nerds” out there, and as it turned out, there were a lot of us. But while they might have been the first to bring us the lightsaber dildo and Pikachu butt plug, they certainly won’t be the last. Many retailers, from other indie makers such as Deep N’ Geek to big brands like The Realm by Blush Novelties, have taken inspiration from Geeky Sex Toys over the years. However, I don’t think any have quite captured their almost chaotic creativity quite like newcomer Closetplay Sex Toys.

5 Inside Tips For Camming Success

In case you didn’t know, I was a webcam performer for years before I started reviewing sex toys professionally. Not only was it a great source of income for an 18-year-old me who had just moved out of home, but it was damn fun. In fact, when I started it was simply because of how much I enjoyed the attention and creative outlets it provided, and only later did I start to think of it as work. But make no mistake, whilst camming can often be seen as some kind of get-rich-quick scheme, being successful takes a lot of effort, and that’s something I learned the hard way. With a million fantastic guides out there already on how to get started with camming though, I wanted to do things a little differently in order to share my experiences. So rather than writing another beginners how-to today, I instead thought I’d tell you how I took my webcamming to the next level with my 5 Inside Tips For Camming Success.

Reviews, Silicone, Spiritus & Co, USB Rechargeable, Vibrators

Review: Snail Vibe

As a sex toy tester, I hear terms like “innovative”, “first of its kind”, and “revolutionary” a lot when looking at products to review, with every company seemingly trying to “reinvent” the vibrator. The thing is, they really don’t need reinventing. Sure, new features like app compatibility and Smart Silence are great, and motors can always be improved upon, but designs like wand massagers and G-Spot vibrators are classics for a reason, and don’t need entire overhauls. The exception to this, and the one product where I do think there is room for change, however, is the rabbit. Despite their popularity, these dual-stimulation toys are well known to be very hit-and-miss depending on how the user’s body matches up to the toy’s typically rigid measurements, and often considered a big risk to purchase. In fact, after seven years of reviewing them, the recent We-Vibe Nova 2 is the only one I feel even remotely safe in recommending to people, but even that doesn’t work for everyone. So when I heard about an entirely new type of dual stimulator that had just won an award for its universal design, I was excited. At least I was, until I saw it…

Top 10 Sex Toys of 2021

Another year has come and gone, and while I know we all have a lot to say about 2021, at least we got some damn good sex toys out of it! From new trends to remakes of classics, not much can stop the sex industry, including a global pandemic it would seem, and nothing has quite reaffirmed my choice to do this kind of work like the last two years. Of course, working on my annual Top 10 Sex Toys Of The Year always gets me feeling this way, as giving myself the time and space for the reflection that it brings has become one of my favourite yearly rituals. So, as difficult as choosing favourites always is, getting to take stock and really think about which toys I not only reviewed positively at the time, but continue to love and use, is always worth it. As usual, alongside the toy countdown I’ve also provided my yearly wrap-up here, and as you’ll read, 2022 is already looking like it’s going to be a cracker. But for now, sit back and relax as I revisit 2021, look at what’s ahead in 2022, and share my Top 10 Sex Toys of 2021 with you all.
