As a sex toy reviewer I feel like I’m always looking at new releases and trying to discover that next big thing, but if we were going to talk about products that have stood the test of time to be well loved years after their launch, then I’d be remiss to not mention Lovehoney’s hugely popular Greedy Girl from their Fifty Shades of Grey line. The UK retailer’s collaboration with the best-selling book series is one of their most notable collections, but no product from it has ever quite come close to the cult-status that this classic black rabbit has acquired. For years now I’ve watched it consistently rank as one of Lovehoney’s best selling products, and to be perfectly honest I always just assumed it was because of the FSOG craze, and nothing more. But with the film adaptations over, and the books celebrating their 10th year anniversary, the fad may be gone but the Greedy Girl’s sales have shown no signs of slowing down. So today, with the help of JOUJOU, I think it is finally time to see what all the fuss is about!
Review: Lora DiCarlo Filare
One major wish of any sex toy company (at least I would assume) is to break through into the mainstream. After all, every brand wants to be known, and for a industry that is constantly blocked from advertising, social media, and anything else of value, achieving this feels like playing a game that has been rigged against you. There are companies that have come close, of course, but honestly I don’t think any one brand can truly claim the title of being public knowledge in the same way that OnlyFans seems to have recently become. Out of them all though, it is a company called Lora DiCarlo that has recently begun to lead the charge with the passion that only a new brand could muster, and in the short time they’ve been around they have already made a lasting impact on this industry. So, when For Her Box recently reached out to me about reviewing their Filare clitoral stimulator, I couldn’t have been more excited.
Top 10 Sex Toys of 2020
2020 is finally over, and thank FUCK. But before we start “thriving” in 2021 (who am I kidding, it’s already gone to shit), I have one last thing to do! My annual Top 10 Sex Toys Of The Year is a chance for me to look back on all of the products I’ve tested and reviewed over the past 12 months and reflect on those that I not only rated positively at the time, but that I’m still enjoying today. In the five years I’ve been doing this it has become a much-loved end-of-year ritual for me, although this time it had far greater meaning and provided much needed closure on a year that took so much, reminding me that even amongst all the bad there were still moments of joy to be found. At times when things all seemed too much last year, sex toys were one of the few things that helped me through, and it’s my pleasure to be able to share with you those that made the biggest impact. Due to all this I feel that this is perhaps the best Top 10 I’ve done, or at least the one with the most meaning. So, get ready as I attempt to take stock of 2020, look at what’s ahead in 2021, and share my Top 10 Sex Toys of 2020.
Review: Lovense Lush 2
After such a long year, it seemed only right I started 2021 off with one of my most anticipated reviews. In fact, not only has this particular item garnered a lot of attention since I announced I was testing it, but it has also been one of my most requested toys for years now. The Lovense Lush 2 was sent to me by the wonderful folks over at JOUJOU, and was the hotly awaited follow-up to the legendary Lush vibrator. But even though this upgrade came out all the way back in 2018, it remains one of the most popular sex toys out there. Why? Well, even if you don’t know anything about sex toys, chances are you’ve seen this one before, because it is absolutely massive in the cam performers community. Visit any cam site and you’ll immediately see it featured on the streams of countless performers (just look out for the little pink string), as they all take advantage of the product’s integrated room features and token-based vibrations. But while it’s obvious that Lovense have made their toy almost a necessity for streamers, what I’m left wondering is whether it’s actually worth it for the rest of us.
Review: Womanizer Liberty
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but my only two reviews of Womanizer’s core products so far have been of their most expensive items. As great as this has been (in a “best orgasms of my life” kinda way), I worry it has given me a false sense of how good their products really are, and it’s also been hard to recommend such pricey items to people, especially when I know full well that without this blog I wouldn’t be able to afford them either. So, it’s because of this that lately I’ve been eyeing the rest of Womanizer’s somewhat small range, particularly their most affordable offerings (which are still really mid-range in terms of price) the Starlet 2 and Liberty. I wasn’t fully set on which I’d prefer, but whilst in the process of finding a company to partner with for the review, something major happened. Womanizer announced they’d teamed up legendary singer Lily Allen to bring out a very special edition of the Liberty… and that’s when I knew I had to have it.
12 Days of Christmas Giveaway!
This holiday season, rather than putting together a huge sales round-up like usual and leaving you all to fend for yourselves, I decided to team up with Lovehoney to curate a list of my favourite items from their store that I thought would make the ultimate Christmas gifts! Called the 12 Days of Christmas, I’ve been highlighting a surprise product from the list each day since the start of December on my social media. But to finish things off with a bang I’ve decided to do things a little differently for Day 12, and instead of just showing off a product, I’m going to be giving one away! That’s right, I’ve searched through every page of the Lovehoney website in order to find the perfect choice for my holiday gift to you, and I finally think I’ve got it! You can find out what it is and enter to win right here, as well as check out the other 11 items in my ultimate holiday gift guide. But hurry, the giveaway is only running for one week, and perhaps more importantly… the Lovehoney Christmas shipping cut-off is today!
