It takes a lot to impress me. At this point I’ve been doing this for just under 4 years, and with almost 100 reviews under my belt (and many more sex toys under my bed), I find it harder and harder to be wow’d by a toy. But last year one really stood out for me, and it was a simple $20 rabbit vibrator. I’m talking about the Paloqueth G-Spot Vibrator, or the Paloqueth Mermaid as they’ve now renamed it. This toy came in at Number 3 on my Top 10 Sex Toys of 2018 list, and ranking it so high was not an easy decision. Could a simple and generic $20 vibe really make it that far on my list? Could a company with no stockists, that only sell their toys on Amazon to the US and Germany really be included? What’s more, myself and a few other bloggers experienced harassment by one of the staff members in November last year. I felt by including Paloqueth’s product on my list it would make it lose credibility, but at the end of the day my mission here at the blog is to give you folks my honest opinions: and honestly, my G-Spot adored this toy. Since then I’m happy to report that the company has reached out and apologised for the issues I had with one of their staff, and have offered to send me some new toys for review. If it was any other company I think I would have said no, but since this was the maker of a toy I enjoyed so throughly, I couldn’t help but accept.
Review: Hot Octopuss Queen Bee
The Hot Octopuss Queen Bee is one of those toys that everyone knew about and wanted when it was released. The UK brand is known for their innovative penis-oriented pleasure products, so when they announced they were working on a toy for the clitoris, it was a big deal. Not just for sex toy reviewers like me either, as Hot Octopuss have a fantastic marketing team that had even the general public literally lining up to try this toy. Just the PR for this product was so good that it beat out McDonalds for an award on it, which I can’t imagine is an easy feat. But when the toy was finally released into the hands of reviewers… the thoughts were, well, mixed. I’ve heard fantastic things and I’ve heard not-so-fantastic things about this product. But that only made me want it more, how could a product have so many different opinions? Due to all this I was super excited when Hot Octopuss got in contact with me recently to review it for them.
Review: ZALO Queen Set
Back in 2017 I worked with a Chinese sex toy manufacturer that was looking to reach out to the western market. Their name was ZALO, and their products were like nothing I’ve ever seen before. While their designs weren’t particularly new, the actual appearance of their products were amazing, taking design cues from Versailles and Lolita styles (which these collections are adequately named after) to create a range of products fit for a princess, or even a magical girl if you check out their Sweet Magic collection. I promoted ZALO as a sponsor for 3 months, and spent every minute of it lusting after their products, but my tight schedule back then meant I never actually got to test anything. Since then I’ve heard nothing but good things about the company and their US expansion, with their newly released Queen Set winning the coveted Luxury Pleasure Product of the Year award at XBIZ Europa. So when JOUJOU recently approached me to review it, therefore finally giving me the opportunity to try a ZALO toy for myself, what do you think I said?
Review: KINK by Doc Johnson Drencher
The best thing about giveaways is it gives me the opportunity to connect with you, my readers, and find out exactly what sort of content you want to see here. One thing that often comes up a lot is for reviews of more kink-orientated sex toys, as these are generally products not covered by the mainstream reviewers. Now, I am definitely not the most kinky person out there, and if not for my affinity with sex toys then I’d go so far as to say that I am pretty vanilla. But, while I may not be as qualified to discuss these items as a true kinkster, I don’t see why I can’t still review them from my own perspective. After all, you folks clearly want to hear about them and there is definitely a gap in the market for these sorts of reviews! Who knows, perhaps I’ll awaken a hidden fetish I never knew I had? To go about this I’ve acquired a few items from the recent collaboration by Doc Johnson and Kink.com, and today I’ll be starting by reviewing their Drencher.
Review: Funkit Toys NoFrillDo R
It’s not too often I get really excited about being sent a product these days. But when Nikki Darling recently announced they would be bringing the NoFrillDo by Funkit Toys to Australia, I knew I had to get one. I’ve been interested in the creations of Funkit Toys for a few years now, and even wrote about their Signet, a silicone ring designed to help further stimulate the clitoris when masturbating with your hand, early last year in my Top New Sex Toys I Want in 2017 post. Unfortunately, the Signet was part of a crowd-funding campaign which didn’t make its goal, and so I never ended up testing it out. But then late last year Funkit decided to try their luck at crowdfunding once more, this time for the NoFrillDo, and it was an astounding success, raising 465% of its goal. Obviously this caught my eye, and so I was over the moon when I heard they would soon be available to purchase in my own country. Nikki Darling must have read my mind, because soon after they asked me whether I wanted to review one!
Review: Adorime Rabbit Vibrator
I feel like I’ve had some pretty good luck with sex toys this year, which is almost surprising since I’ve mostly been testing products from lesser-known brands, rather than the usual big industry players. It’s taught me to not judge a book by its cover, or in this case a sex toy by its manufacturer’s reputation, or lack thereof. On that note, today’s review is on the Adorime Rabbit, a G-Spot and clitoral vibrator with two motors for dual stimulation. I hadn’t heard of Adorime previously to them contacting me, but they’ve actually been manufacturing products in China since 2015, and have since signed on as one of my blog’s sponsors! I’ve really enjoyed working alongside their company during this time, and so was eager to also try out one of their products for the blog. They offered to send me their popular rabbit vibe, which I was more than happy to accept.
