Review: Xcitme Sym-B Sensual Collection

Xcitme Sym-B Sensual Collection

Versatility is one of the most sought-after and important traits for a sex toy, yet it’s something that continues to seem out of reach for a lot of companies. Whether it’s creating a single toy with multiple uses, such as the MysteryVibe Crescendo or ZALO Amorette, supplements for an existing product, such as the We-Vibe Wand’s attachments or the Uberrime Tentare Tentacle, or a modular toy that can be adapted for alternative uses, such as the Ooh by Je Joue, in my experience these products generally never seem to live up to the lofty claims of their advertising. Out everything I just touched on, however, modular design is the only type that I haven’t personally reviewed before, but it is something I’ve always liked the sound of. I still remember how excited I was when the Ooh by Je Joue first came out in 2015, and how obsessed I was with the idea of being able to buy just one base product and then mix-and-match the attachments I wanted. Which is why it was so upsetting when I finally tested it out at a convention and found that the core toy’s vibrations barely transferred through the modular pieces. As such, when I was recently contacted by Xcitme about their new modular product, the Sym-B, I was both cautious and intrigued. The thing that ultimately made me accept it for review, however, was that unlike the Ooh by Je Joue and similar products, the Sym-B’s attachments have their own motors, which is a game-changer.

Review: Womanizer Premium

Womanizer Premium

It always surprises me that despite suction toys now being my favourite type of adult product, I have only ever tested one toy from the company who arguably invented the technology. In fact, even that toy I only got a few months ago, and while brand new at the time, the Womanizer X Lovehoney Pro40 ultimately was a re-release of one of Womanizer’s early products, and as such didn’t really do much to show me what the company is capable of now. Still, even with that it was good enough to make it on my Top 10 Sex Toys of 2019 list, which is no easy feat. Afterwards it was pretty clear what needed to be done, I had to get my hands on one of Womanizer’s newer products and finally find out what I’ve been missing out on. So, after much consideration of the brand’s impressive catalogue of toys, I decided to go with one of their latest releases and current flagship product, the Womanizer Premium. Plus, since it has just been re-released in two beautiful new colours, Blueberry and Raspberry, I was lucky enough to secure one of these for review!

Review: Rocks Off Regala

Rocks Off Regala

If there is any product I am most weary of trying these days, it would have to be rabbit vibrators. It’s not that I have anything against them, but just that out of all other sex toys they have the biggest capacity for failure. Designing a product that stimulates both the clitoris and G-Spot perfectly is no easy task and one that I wouldn’t wish on anybody, since the distance between these two lauded stimulation points can vary so much between bodies. Toys like this need to be both flexible, in order to work for as many people as possible, and firm, so that enough pressure is applied to achieve pleasure, and that’s before you even start to consider the amount of power required in both arms. Due to all this, it takes a lot for me to put my faith in one of these toys enough to test it for review, especially since my G-Spot is typically not friendly to vibrators in general. So, when Rocks Off recently contacted me about their latest dual stimulation vibe, I wasn’t interested at first, but that was until I read a bit further into it… because the Regala isn’t just your typical G-Spot and clitoral vibrator, but rather an A-Spot and clitoral vibrator!

Review: We-Vibe Wand

We-Vibe Wand

Ask me my favourite and most used type of sex toy, and I’ll tell you that it’s without a doubt wand massagers (although I will admit that suction toys are seeing more and more use in my personal masturbation routines these days). Then ask me my favourite manufacturer of vibrators, and I’ll tell you that it’s We-Vibe, since the motors in their clitoral toys, such as the Tango and Moxie, are some of the most powerful out there. These have been my answers for almost as long as I’ve been blogging, but there has always been a big incompatibility between them… because We-Vibe doesn’t make wand massagers! That is, they didn’t make wand massagers… until now! When I first heard the rumours of the We-Vibe Wand I tried hard to keep my cool in case it wasn’t true, but I couldn’t help being excited for a toy that I had dreamed about for so long. So when I finally received the official release notice from We-Vibe about the toy (and an offer to review it!) I was overjoyed, and now today I’m even more excited to be bringing my review of it to you all.

Review: ZALO Desire

ZALO Desire

In my recent review of the ZALO Amorette I spoke a lot about how I have adored the brand’s magical girl inspired line of toys, Sweet Magic, for years, and about how getting to try the latest addition to the range was a dream come true. But today’s review is even more special for me, because I’ll be taking a look at one of the original products from the range, and one that I feel like I’ve had my eye on forever. First released in 2017, but currently being re-promoted as ZALO continue to expand to the western market, the Desire is a true wish-list item for me and I was overjoyed when the brand asked if I wanted to review it. I’ll admit that its stunning appearance has a lot to do with why I wanted it so badly, as it looks more like a staff that one of the powerful anime girls from my childhood would wield rather than a sex toy, but there is a lot more to it than just that. As ZALO’s first thruster style toy, a toy type that I love but have yet to have much experience with, this product also boasts a self-heating function and turbo mode. Oh, and did I mention it’s also really cute?

Review: Hot Octopuss AMO

Hot Octopuss AMO

One of my most anticipated products to review in 2019 was the Hot Octopuss DiGiT. As one of my favourite manufacturers, primarily due to their ability to harness powerful yet rumbly vibes in their sex toys, the announcement that they were going to release their first clitoral vibrator was a big deal. It was well worth all the fuss too, because the DiGiT was one of my favourite toys of the year, coming in at Number 8 on my Top 10 Sex Toys of 2019 list. But whilst the vibrations were certainly there, I did have a little bit of an issue with the non-removable finger band the toy featured. While one of the main design features, so I can’t really fault it, I did find it restricted my use of the toy, and also mentioned that it might pose a greater issue for others, for instance those who are left-handed. As such, I suggested an upgrade to the DiGiT where the band could be removed, or alternatively a version without the band at all, as a fix. So, as Hot Octopuss are a fantastic bunch who actually listen to reviewer feedback, here we are again with the brand new AMO, a toy that’s very similar to the DiGiT… just without the band!
