Almost two years ago to this day I launched a new post series called What’s In My Toy Box?. Intended to be a “Where Are They Now?” of all the products I’ve ever reviewed, I wanted it to act as an easy guide to which toys I continue to use regularly, and thus what’s most deserving of your money. After all, just because a review was positive or an item made it onto my Top 10 Sex Toys Of The Year does not mean I’ll keep using it after the fact. As I mentioned back in 2018 however, there really isn’t much point in me producing a new one of these until my toy box has changed enough to warrant one, and I really didn’t feel like this was the case last year. But with this year’s lockdown I’ve had plenty of time to reevaluate and switch things around, and with a toy box now filled with more new toys than old ones, it seemed time to finally resurrect this series, albeit with a new name!
As with my previous post in this series, this is a genuine look at the toys that currently live inside my toy box a.k.a. the bottom drawer of my bedside table. The rest of the products I own are in storage containers under my bed, and while I do use those products too and have favourites in there, it’s not as frequently as the products listed below. As a reviewer who owns literally hundreds of toys, it takes something very special to make it into my small toy box, and staying put is even harder as newer models are released and electronics begin to break down with age. Some of these toys have been in my toy box for years, such as the Magic Wand Rechargeable, which shows their longevity, whilst others, like the Vixen Creations Vixen Mustang, have only been added this month, which shows the level of competition they’ve overcome. Ultimately though, each of these items has risen above the rest to continually impress me and capture my attention, and are quite simply the best of the best in my opinion.
Dildos
Vixen Creations VixSkin Mustang
My review of the Vixen Creations VixSkin Mustang is still hot off the press, but there was never any doubt in my mind that this toy would be going straight into my toy box once I was done putting it through its paces. Other than the subtle realism and shockingly good dual-density, the thing that I like most about this toy is that its shaft increases in size, meaning I can insert it without warming up while still enjoying all the sensations of a larger toy. Perfect for lazy sessions where I only want to use one insertable product.
Funkit Toys NoFrillDo R
The Funkit Toys NoFrillDo R is currently my favourite dildo to use when I need to warm-up prior to taking larger toys. While a great product in its own right, I find its slim size really lends itself to this, as does its spiral design which helps to further loosen me up. As one of the smallest toys in my collection I frequently start sessions with it, making it easily one of my most used products.
Tantus Pack ‘n Play No.2
The Tantus Pack ‘n Play No.2 has long been one of my absolute favourite realistic dildos. While very simple in design, something about it just feels right to me, and sessions with it are always great fun. It is also frequently used as a warm-up toy, usually after the Funkit Toys NoFrillDo R, as it provides a nice middle-ground between that toy and the next size up, which is generally the Tantus Vamp Super Soft.
Tantus Vamp Super Soft
The Tantus Vamp Super Soft is a great dildo to use when I’m craving that “full” feeling, but don’t want to go all out with some of my really large toys. This is due to its soft material, which means that even though it is quite big, it is still somewhat easy to insert. It is also regularly used as a warm-up toy, usually after the Funkit Toys NoFrillDo R and Tantus Pack ‘n Play No.2, as it provides the next step up in size before moving on to larger products.
Uberrime Ripley Alien
Every good toy box needs a fantasy toy and this is mine. The Uberrime Ripley Alien is perfect for when I want something a little different, and particularly when I want something immensely filling. While surprisingly smaller than a toy like the Tantus Vamp Super Soft, the texture allows it to feel larger than it is, making it a perfect note to end most sessions on.
Tantus Splish
The Tantus Splish is my partner’s favourite toy to use on me. Only a little larger than a finger, it is ideal for quick sessions when we don’t want to spend time warming up, and because of this he also knows he can use it on me as much as he wants without risk of injury. For solo use I find this a good product for anal play, however this is something I rarely partake in these days.
Njoy Pure Wand
The Njoy Pure Wand has to be the best dildo in my collection, but I admittedly don’t use it as much as I probably should. It’s kind of like my special occasions toy, not because it takes ages to insert like some, but because I know once it’s in I won’t want to take it out. Orgasms with this thing are crazy addictive and it makes my G-Spot feel things that quite simply aren’t possible with any other product.
Jopen Key Comet Wand
The Jopen Key Comet Wand is essentially a more chilled out version of the Njoy Pure Wand. With a very similar design yet less intense feel due to the different material, this is the toy I’ll pick if I want amazing G-Spot stimulation without all the fuss that the Pure Wand brings. It can also be good for warming-up my G-Spot prior to using toys that are also meant to stimulate it but are more subtle.
Clitoral Vibrators & Stimulators
Magic Wand Rechargeable
Five years later and nothing has even really come close to knocking the Magic Wand Rechargeable from its position as my absolute favourite toy. Powerful and rumbly with a satisfyingly soft head and simple controls, it really doesn’t get much more perfect than this. Easily my most used toy ever, this product comes out when I want a lazy or quick orgasm, which is the vast majority of the time.
We-Vibe Wand
It doesn’t happen very often, but on the rare occasion that my Magic Wand Rechargeable runs out of battery and I can’t be bothered getting its charging cable, the We-Vibe Wand comes out to play. My favourite cordless wand after the Rechargeable, this toy really knows how to rumble and is also easier for my partner to use on me due to the greater variety of vibration speeds and app control.
Dame Kip
After my We-Vibe Tango and Nu Sensuelle Point both died on me last year, I was in desperate need of a new clitoral vibrator that I could use during PIV sex and alongside insertable toys. The Dame Kip was the answer, quickly catapulting it to one of my most used toys ever despite the short time I’ve had it. Absolutely perfect at its job, I dearly hope it stays with me longer than its predecessors.
Hot Octopuss AMO
On the occasion that the Dame Kip runs out of battery, the Hot Octopuss AMO is there waiting in the sidelines. An immensely satisfying clitoral vibrator in its own right, the AMO only plays second fiddle due to its slightly more complicated controls, which aren’t the easiest to fiddle around with during sex. Still, it’s good to know I have such a good back-up for when the Kip fails me.
Rocks Off Purple Heart
The Rocks Off Purple Heart is my back-up to my back-up clitoral vibrator. That’s right, if both the Dame Kip and Hot Octopuss AMO run out of charge, then the Purple Heart’s old-school batteries will save the day. As you guessed that doesn’t happen very often, but this is the best battery-powered clit vibe I’ve tried and I always like to be prepared!
Womanizer Premium
I’ve tried so many suction toys, but nothing has ever quite compared to the Womanizer Premium. My second favourite toy in general after the Magic Wand Rechargeable, this toy has been used extensively in the short time I’ve had it. I pull this out for solo sessions often, particularly when I’ve just finished toy testing new products and am left feeling unsatisfied and wanting something more.
Internal & Dual-Stimulation Vibrators
L’amourose Prism V
When I’m after some serious G-Spot vibrations then the L’amourose Prism V is the toy I grab. With a simple design and control system, alongside rumbly vibrations, this product is simply a pleasure to use. Plus, pairing it with the Dame Kip or Hot Octopuss AMO to incorporate some clitoral vibrations as well is pure bliss.
Paloqueth G-Spot Vibrator
When the L’amourose Prism V needs to charge, the Paloqueth G-Spot Vibrator is the next best thing. Despite being significantly cheaper, this toy can easily take the Prism’s spot, finding my difficult-to-please G-Spot with ease. Plus, while vibrations are admittedly less rumbly than on the Prism, I find I can hardly tell the difference when it comes to internal use.
We-Vibe Nova 2
It took six years, but I finally found a rabbit vibrator that I actually like. The first of its kind to have a permanent spot in my toy box, the We-Vibe Nova 2 re-imagines the classic dual-stimulation toy for those of us whose bodies aren’t the norm. Seamlessly stimulating both my clitoris and G-Spot for sessions where I’m looking for a little something extra, I can’t see this vibrator leaving my toy box anytime soon.
Womanizer DUO
If the We-Vibe Nova 2 comes out when I’m feeling a little something extra, the Womanizer DUO comes out when I’m feeling really EXTRA. Combining the suction power of the Womanizer Premium with the G-Spot vibrations of the Nova 2, this product provides the best of both worlds and is a one-stop shop for pleasure, perhaps more so than any other product on this list.
Lubricant
Lovehoney Delight
Despite having not actually reviewed Lovehoney Delight yet, it is probably my most used product on this entire list. After being sent a bottle as a gift early last year, the two of us have become inseparable, and I actually have my new larger bottle stationed on the top of my bedside table right now, rather than in my toy box (the only product that gets this treatment). I use it for everything and have quite simply never experienced a better lubricant than this.
Sliquid Sassy
While my previously beloved Sliquid Sea doesn’t get much use anymore, I still sometimes grab my bottle of Sassy when I want to engage in anal play or want more cushioning than a lubricant like Lovehoney Delight can provide. Thick and long-lasting, Sassy really is the best lubricant for butt play that I have tried.
Good Clean Love Almost Naked
These days its a rare occasion for me to whip out my bottle of Good Clean Love Almost Naked, but it still lives in my toy box for those times when the moment strikes. My favourite way to use this lubricant has always been with suction toys, as I find its thickness works well for protecting my clit from the intense stimulation, and while I don’t always use lube with these sorts of toys it is super handy when I am testing multiple or am feeling sore.
Other
Lovehoney Booty Buddy
When I first started my blog I was all about that anal play, but as I’ve gotten older I find myself engaging in this sort of stimulation less and less. Still, for when I am feeling particularly peachy the Lovehoney Booty Buddy is the perfect toy to grab as its small size and tapered shape means I can use it straight away, even if it has been awhile.
B-Vibe Snug Plug 2
It’s no secret that the B-Vibe Snug Plug 2 is the best butt plug I’ve ever used, and so even though my play with it is infrequent these days it still lives in my toy box for those rare occasions when I am really craving some good anal stimulation. When this happens the Lovehoney Booty Buddy also comes in handy, serving as a way to get myself ready to take this larger toy.
Hot Octopuss PULSE DUO & LUX
This one is actually a bit of a lie, because these toys aren’t in my toy box, they’re in my partner’s. Nestled amongst his underwear drawer are the Hot Octopuss PULSE DUO and the PULSE DUO LUX, although out of the two he prefers to use the DUO when alone. For when we feel like including a toy amongst our play, however, the DUO LUX is perfect with its two wristwatch style remotes.
Vibease Onyx
My partner and I have both been eager to try new things during lockdown, and so when Vibease sent me their new Onyx earlier this year as a gift it seemed the perfect chance for us to finally explore the world of cock rings for the first time. We’ve been thoroughly enjoying using this for PIV sex so far, with the vibrations feeling amazing for both of us, so hopefully I’ll get the chance to review it soon.
Nephrite Jade Yoni Egg
I’m not much of a Kegel exercise type of gal (or any type of exercise), but when I am I have the Nephrite Jade Yoni Egg to help me out. I love the simplicity of this product, as well as the idea of the healing properties its material contains, and so spending time with it is always a joy and an experience I try to make special rather than just lubing it up and popping it in.
