Review: Banana Pants Bumpher, Shagger & Honeybunch

Banana Pants Bumpher, Shagger & Honeybunch

Despite being a relatively new kind of sex toy, the idea of the grinder is extremely simple. Humans, particularly those with vulvas, already enjoy grinding upon things for stimulation, and these small pieces of silicone just offer a tool designed specifically for it. Coming up with a variety of textures to differentiate them then gives the opportunity for themes, with tentacles for those looking for something otherworldly or flowers for those wanting to keep things a little more discreet on their nightstand, and they can be as unique as you fancy too, with many stores offering them in custom colours. But some makers are taking this simple idea and continuing to innovate. We saw it with the Uncover Creations Tentacle Grinder II and its straps for added security and with the Godemiche Grind Ring and its ability to be attached to dildos and massagers. And now today we’re taking a look at yet another new interpretation, this time with Banana Pants’ range of dildo base cushions.

Review: b-Vibe Rimming Plug Petite

b-Vibe Rimming Plug Petite and remote

It was in 2017 that I first talked about how I just couldn’t get the idea of a rimming butt plug out of my head, and that has remained true until today. b-Vibe’s innovative first-of-its-kind rim job simulator was first released in 2016, acting as the launchpad for their now award-winning company, and was one of the products I featured in my Top New Sex Toys guide a year later. So even though I rarely review anal toys these days, with my last actually being on b-Vibe’s Snug Plug 2 in 2018, when COTR (the company that owns Le Wand and b-Vibe) recently reached out and asked if I’d like to review something from their collection, how could I not request the Rimming Plug Petite? Thankfully they were more than happy to oblige, and now here I am, finally reviewing what has remained the most exciting butt plug I’ve ever seen, even after seven years!

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: Le Wand Hoop

Le Wand Hoop

For almost 20 years, the Njoy Pure Wand has been the go-to stainless steel sex toy, unrivaled in its design and pleasure abilities. So it’s almost impressive, that in an industry where copycat designs run rampant, that the Pure Wand has managed to remain a one-of-a-kind through sheer reputation alone. That is, until now, with the release of the Le Wand Hoop. An almost carbon-copy of the Pure Wand, this kind of move certainly isn’t new ground for the US-based manufacturer, whose entire catalogue is based on reimagining popular designs from other companies. However, as with their take on the legendary Magic Wand Rechargeable, my problem with Le Wand stems from the fact that rather than offering these imitations at a lower price point, they instead ask for even more money. Which begs the question: why would anyone pay more for a knock-off Pure Wand?

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.
