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: Hot Octopuss PULSE DUO LUX
Last year my partner and I had the pleasure of reviewing Hot Octopuss’s amazing masturbator meets couples toy, the PULSE III DUO, which has since been renamed as simply the PULSE DUO. Completely unique to anything I’ve ever tried before, it was a huge stand out for me, but as my partner’s first ever toy in general, it was a big deal. Unfortunately, though, right after that review our lives got pretty busy, we moved house and he took on a new full-time job, and so the PULSE DUO sadly got tucked away into his underwear drawer and mostly forgotten about. This year, however, we (like everybody else) have had a lot more time on our hands, and when lockdown started one of the first things my partner asked me was, “What ever happened to that Hot Octopuss toy?”. Well, I was more than happy to remind him of its location, but I also knew that a newer version, dubbed the PULSE DUO LUX, had recently been released, and asked if he would be interested in trying it with me, to which I received a resounding yes. Luckily the lovely folks over at Hot Octopuss were then kind enough to send one out for review, thus making our self-isolation a hell of a lot more fun!
Review: Hot Octopuss PULSE DUO
I’ve been wanting to expand into reviewing products designed for the penis, testicles, and prostate for years. But as it’s not something I can do myself, it was starting to seem like it was never gong to happen. I haven’t ever met anyone I felt I could trust to do the job professionally enough for me, and sex toys aren’t something my partner has ever shown interest in for himself. That was, however, until Hot Octopuss contacted me about reviewing for them and I showed him the PULSE range. Hot Octopuss are a brand who excel at marketing, and he was quickly drawn in by how cool and modern their website is, as well as the sleek design of their multi-award winning toy. For the first time he actually wanted to try out a toy, and this was definitely helped by the fact that the PULSE DUO can also work for couples. So, here we are, about to jump into my first ever penis masturbator review with the help of my partner!
