Review: Blush Novelties The Collection Sweet Bunny

At this point in my sexual journey I am pretty good at picking out adult toys that I am going to like. I know what brands and retailers I can trust to provide good quality products, and I know what types of toys I enjoy. In fact, I know what sub-types of toys I enjoy, and what sub-types of those sub-types I enjoy. When you’re a reviewer you have to analyse each product you try, which lets you pick up on things that most people wouldn’t even notice, and in turn you really get to understand your preferences when it comes to your own sexual pleasure. So, due to all this I’m usually pretty careful when choosing toys. But there is just one thing that always ruins this otherwise foolproof plan for me… One thing that I just can’t resist! Cute toys. And Blush Novelties’ new Sweet Bunny Classic Slim Vibe from their The Collection range is one of the cutest I’ve seen for awhile.

The Sender

This toy was offered to me by Betty’s Toy Box for review, and while it’s not the sort of thing I am focusing on this year, I just couldn’t resist accepting it! It was also my first opportunity to work with Betty’s Toy Box for a review, and as they are one of my favourite retailers it was a chance not to be missed. Based in the Canada, their pin-up girl style branding is on point, as is the range of toys they stock. While they don’t offer body-safe toys exclusively like most of my other favourite stores, they do put care into only featuring high quality products. I often find that if I can’t get my hands on a toy from any of my other recommended retailers then they will have it. Plus, they also offer sexual health and wellness information on their site, as well as their own reviews on the products they stock. Betty’s Toy Box ship worldwide, and while their shipping prices are very reasonable if you live in the US or Canada (free on orders over $39 for the US and $99 for Canada), they are also not too bad for us international folks, with it being free on orders over $225 and a flat-rate of $50 for orders under that.

Product Description

As has happened far too many times in my sex toy reviewing career, I was blinded by the aesthetic appearance of a toy and forgot to actually read any information on it. What I thought I was receiving was a small bullet vibrator, similar in size and style to my We-Vibe Tango or Nu Sensuelle Point, but what I actually got was a far longer and insertable version of this type of toy, a ‘Classic Slim Vibe’. I’ve tried toys like this before when I first started experimenting with adult products, as they are often low budget and aimed at beginners, but they aren’t as common these days. Despite my misunderstanding, I was still excited to try this out and see how it compared to the cheap toys of my teenage years!

Blush Novelties have taken all the typical cheap slim vibe features and applied them to The Collection Sweet Bunny, but in a refined way that elevates it from the products I remember. It’s battery operated, splash-proof, and controlled by turning a dial at the base of the toy, rather than using buttons. Made with a silky smooth ABS plastic, this toy is non-porous and body-safe, so it can be used internally as well as externally. It is, of course, quite slim, with a width of only 1″ / 2.5cm in diameter, so this is a good toy for warming up internally or if you have issues with penetration. It then has a length of 7″ / 17.8cm, and 5.5″ / 14cm of those are insertable. The real highlight for me however, is the adorable bunny character that is all over the insertable length of it. I particularly love that this isn’t just a repeated pattern, but that each bunny has its own little expression. This is a great design, and the sort of thing I would get on pyjamas or bedsheets, so it’s amazing to have it on a vibrator instead! This, combined with the pink and white colour scheme and red base, is exactly my aesthetic. The only downside to the appearance of the toy is the very tip of it, which has a little discoloured dent, and the gold band that separates the base and shaft of the toy, as this also has a few minor flaws.

Packaging

My order with Betty’s Toy Box for the Blush Novelties The Collection Sweet Bunny was made around the 7th of June and I received it on the 21st of June. The box was 100% discreet, with no mention of what was inside or who the sender was. The packaging for the Sweet Bunny was then very simple, but considering its low price it’s nicer than I thought it would be. Its simple and well designed box, with all the information you could possibly need for the toy displayed on it, highlights the product by presenting it in a plastic clamshell so you know exactly what you’re buying. The product doesn’t come with any accessories, and for those in the US and Canada Blush offers a 90 day warranty.

Batteries

The Sweet Bunny is run by two AA batteries, which are not included. Installing them is easy though, as you just unscrew the base of the toy and place them inside. When doing this, at first I thought the batteries would not fit, but you just really need to force the spring on the base down to screw the cap back on. Battery powered products aren’t ideal and are quite dated these days, but it can be handy to have a few around for when all my rechargeable toys are flat, and considering this is a low budget toy aimed at beginners I don’t mind it.

Controls

Controlling the toy is incredibly simple and takes no instructions to learn, as there is no buttons! All you need to do is twist the base of the toy, and the vibrations will turn on. It’s pretty easy to work out which way to turn it as there is very little resistance, but just in case you want to check it does also have a “Low – High” guide printed on the bottom (right next to the “Made in China” text, which is pretty funny but also makes the toy feel a bit cheaper). The vibrations do increase the more you twist the cap, but this increase is very subtle, and if I was to put it into levels then I would say there is only two. But these aren’t the weak vibrations you might expect from a battery-powered toy, and instead actually feel quite strong and deep. Additionally, while they may not be as “whisper-quiet” as the product packaging suggests, this toy is relatively quiet and I would feel safe using it behind a closed door.

My Experience

There are two main ways to use this toy, either on your clitoris externally, or inside your vagina internally (this toy is not for anal play as it has no flared base), which makes it a perfect two-in-one toy for beginners. Personally, I am far more interested in using this externally, as I have far nicer dildos and vibrators that I can use internally. As such, I first tried using it on my clitoris, and I was really pleased to find that I quite enjoy its vibrations. While they are not as strong as some of my other more expensive clitoral vibrators, such as the We-Vibe Tango and Nu Sensuelle Point, it is still enough to stimulate me quite well. I also found the vibrations a lot more rumbly and deep than on other cheap clitoral vibes I own, which was ideal for what my clit likes. Whether I am using the toy alone, paired with an insertable toy, or during PIV sex, I really enjoy it and it gives me good orgasms. My only complaint would be the lack of variety in the vibration intensities, and the fact that my hand can get numb after awhile due to the residual vibrations that travel up the toy.

Testing the toy internally was also a good experience. As the toy is so thin, no warm up and only a small amount of lube was needed to insert it. Thrusting it inside of me is a pleasant experience, with or without the vibrations, but as expected it is not as stimulating as most of my other internal toys, due to the fact that it lacks any girth, texture, or shape. The vibrations don’t make a massive difference in this regard, but they are a nice addition, and combining them with a good clitoral vibrator means that I am in for a good time. I only have two frustrations about using this toy internally. Firstly, as this toy is made with hard plastic and most clitoral vibes are also made from it, my skin can often get pinched between them during use which is a bit off-putting. Secondly, controlling the vibrations while using the toy in this way can be a harder than usual, as my messy fingers combined with the short length of the toy mean that the base can get various fluids on it, making it a little more difficult to turn.

Cleaning & Care

Cleaning the Blush Novelties The Collection Sweet Bunny is fairly straightforward as it is made from non-porous ABS plastic, but as it is only splashproof you do need to put a bit of care into not getting it too wet. Personally, I just wipe mine down with warm soapy water, rinse it, and then either towel dry it or leave it to air dry. My biggest concern with the cleaning process is that bacteria may hide under the gold bar that separates the shaft from the base. So after using the toy internally a few times I would recommend disassembling it to carefully clean this area with a toothbrush.

Final Thoughts

Overall I have loved testing The Collection Sweet Bunny from Blush Novelties. This toy is special because of its limited edition, and frankly adorable, design. But otherwise I didn’t expect much beyond a cheap novelty vibe aimed at sex toy newbies. Instead, I got a powerful and rumbly vibrator, yet still at its budget-friendly price. This toy is super accessible to beginners, as its battery-operated nature and twist-to-vibrate cap means that no instructions or prior understanding of how vibrators work are needed. Plus, like I mentioned before, it’s essentially a two-in-one toy, as you can use it both internally and externally. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to start on their sex toy journey, but as I have proven, it’s also just a great addition to any toy collection!

Sadly, the Blush Novelties The Collection Sweet Bunny has now been discontinued.
