Way back in 2017 I published a post talking all about the top new sex toys that I wanted. Half designed as a space for me to express my excitement over new releases and share the news with you all, and half intended as a *wink wink* to brands, the second part didn’t exactly work out considering I never ended up getting any of them. That is until late last year anyway, when I finally reviewed the Doxy Die Cast 3R, the smaller version of the UK brand’s popular massager wand. On that list, however, there were actually two Doxy products featured, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment that the long awaited Doxy Bullet never came to pass when reviewing the wand last year. So, you can imagine my surprise when out of seemingly nowhere, Doxy finally released it to the world just a few months ago!
Review: Allovers 4-in-1 Thruster
Over the last few weeks I’ve been taking a look at a string of new product types at the blog, from grinders, rotating panty toys, and even seated vibrators! But today’s review really takes the cake for the most elaborate new category of sex toy that I’ve been game enough to try. Sent to me by blog sponsor AcmeJoy, the Allovers 4-in-1 Thruster is the first realistic electronic toy that I’ve tried, combining the phallic dildos that I so adore with thrusting powers for the first time. But it’s not just that, because as the name suggests, this toy offers four unique functions! In addition to the thrusting, there is also vibrations, rotating, and heating, making this multi-purpose vibe one of the most versatile I’ve seen.
Review: SquarePegToys Nathan Firmer
One of last year’s stand-out posts for me has to be my review of the SquarePegToys G squeeze. Coming in at Number 3 in my Top 10 Sex Toys of 2021, I don’t think it’d be an exaggeration to say it was also one of the year’s most anticipated reviews, and has since become one of my most popular too. Taking on the often under-appreciated vaginal plug and reimagining it for the future, the only thing that equalled my love for the G squeeze was my desire to try more from the US maker. So when Peepshow Toys reached out to me recently to let me know SquarePegToys had a new release on the horizon that they were exclusive retailers for, I couldn’t have said yes to reviewing it quicker.
Review: Vibe Pad
My passion project for the last few months, a huge round-up of some of the industry’s best grinding sex toys, is now out to the world. But with such a diverse range of products already making up this emerging trend, there was more than a few toys I was interested in including that just didn’t make the cut. One of them had to be the intriguing Vibe Pad from ORION Wholesale, which one of the round-up’s main contributors, Nudie Co, had just recently gotten in stock. However, whilst very much a grinder just like the toys in that post, it was at the same time completely different, and ultimately it was left out, feeling too unique to be adequately compared to the others. Thankfully for everyone though, Nudie Co were still kind enough to send one out, so that I might give it a review of its own!
Review: Honey Play Box Crave
My inbox is always open. So when a reader recently reached out to me for help finding her dream sex toy, I was more than happy to assist. They were after a wearable toy, similar to a panty vibe like the popular Lovense Lush 2, but rather than vibrations, they wanted something that moved. While thrusters were okay, what they envisioned was something that could “flex like a penis” or use a “come hither” motion to stimulate the G-Spot. Despite not having something like this already reviewed at the blog, I still figured I could find a product suitable enough to recommend, until I realised just how unique an idea it was. I kept looking though, and couldn’t have been more pleased when my very own site sponsor, Honey Play Box, announced their G-Spot Master Collection, and in it was the wearable yet rotating Crave.
Review Round-Up: Grinders
Like many people, grinding was my entry point into the world of masturbation. Whether it meant rubbing at my vulva by hand or going on top of my pillows at night, I was doing it long before I even knew what a vibrator was. But now, after seven years of testing hundreds of sex toys, it’s not often I find myself resorting to this kind of “acoustic” play anymore. After all, I have all kinds of gadgets that can achieve the same thing for far less effort, and thus grinding had become but a distant memory. So, you can imagine my surprise when in 2021 a new toy trend seemingly emerged out of nowhere: grinders. From indie makers releasing a wave of textured non-insertables, to retailers relabelling old favourites like the We-Vibe Touch and Tenga Iroha+ Kushi as grindable toys, clearly something was going on, and I wanted in. Which is why I sought out six of the best for today’s very special grinder review round-up!
