Review: Tantus Vamp Super Soft

For avid readers of my blog, you might recall the Tantus Vamp from my earlier review of it back in March last year. That review is one of my favourites, because I always felt like it was a turning point both for my blog and for my body. When I first purchased the Vamp I had no idea about any limitations I may have in my ability to enjoy sex toys. I was just starting out as a blogger, and I happily added the Vamp to my shopping cart during a sale of Tantus’s grab bags. Little did I know, that it would actually be too large in girth for my vagina to comfortably accommodate. I tried many times to be able to use it, as I had heard such great feedback from my fellow bloggers, until eventually I admitted defeat, and decided large toys just weren’t for me. I have come to accept that now, and it is one of the traits that makes my blog a little bit different from others. But I always wished I could enjoy the Tantus Vamp like so many others had. So, you only can imagine my excitement when I heard Tantus were releasing a new version of the Vamp, in their Super Soft silicone formula. It was a dream come true, and I quickly set my heart upon owning one. Thankfully, Peepshow Toys were kind enough to send one my way for review.

Review: Dame Fin

I love seeing sex toys being talked about in the mainstream media, and if there is one company that is superb at getting attention from media that would usually see sex toys as taboo, it is Dame Products. It’s no surprise, their branding is that of a minimalist and trendy gadget start-up for millennials rather than a sex toy, and quite frankly it is refreshing to see. Their second product Fin, that I am reviewing today, broke records as the first ever sex toy campaign on Kickstarter, and brought in almost $400,000 worth of pledges, despite only having a $50,000 goal. This immediately told me that this toy was going to be a big deal. Since I never tried their first product, Eva, which had a similar crowdfunding success, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. But I did remember hearing that it wasn’t all that great. The Fin’s Kickstarter video looked so good though that I truly believed it would finally cement Dame as a quality sex toy manufacturer. But, then I read this interview, where the product designer states their ‘research‘ of sex toys is based on their purchases from Amazon…. and it all went downhill from there.

Top 5 DIY Sex Toys To Try

I was an early bloomer, so masturbation became a big part of my life pretty early on. As I got older and discovered porn, I also discovered sex toys, and excitedly awaited the day when I was old enough to get one. I tried to make my own but it did not turn out very well, and I can only wish I had a guide like this back then. Even though I sadly can’t reach back in time and let myself know what I know now, I decided to make this guide anyway for everyone who may be in a similar position to I was. It’s not just age either, I am very fortunate to live in a country where a sex shop seems to be on every road, but I am aware not everyone is. I can also now afford to spend my money once in awhile on a $100+ sex toy, something I am sure seems insane to quite a lot of people. So this DIY sex toy guide is for everyone who, for whatever reason, isn’t as fortunate as me to own a range of sex toys. Plus, these options are actually better than just buying a cheap non-body safe toy, so if you were thinking of just caving and purchasing a jelly dildo, perhaps try these first.

Ask A Sex Toy Reviewer: Issue 1

Welcome to my first edition of Ask A Sex Toy Reviewer! In this series I want to hear directly from you, my readers, and find out what queries or questions you guys have about anything from sex toys, sexual health, how to run a sex blog, to even myself! I initially put out the call for questions during my Valentine’s Day Giveaway earlier this year, and was so overwhelmed by the great responses! Due to the questions I got asked I decided to put together my recent Sex Toy Materials Guide, which answers many of the queries you folks had, and soon I’ll also be publishing a similar guide on lube. But there are still plenty of questions left over that won’t be covered in those guides, so I’ll be answering them here in this new series. This’ll run whenever I have enough questions for a post, but I’ll be limiting it to once a month. So without further ado, here they are!

Review: Zumio X

Usually when I first get offered a product for review I have a basic idea of how much I’m going to like it. A big reason for this is if I’ve read other blogger’s reviews of the same item, but what about when it’s a brand new product? Well, I can usually get an idea either from the manufacturer (do they have a good track record of other products?), or the type of toy (is it a style that I usually enjoy?). There are rare exceptions to this rule however, such as when brand new companies come out with innovative new toys I’ve never even considered before, such as when Womanizer first released their clitoral suction toy. I would have never guessed how big they would become if I had been reviewing for them back then. So, when JOUJOU approached me about reviewing the Zumio X, a completely new style of toy from a brand new company, it felt like Womanizer all over again and I had no idea what to expect. Now, full disclosure, when I first saw it I literally lol’d and straight up told JOUJOU I didn’t think it would work. But, being ever curious I accepted it anyway because I just had to find out more, and as always, I hoped to be proven wrong.

Guide: Sex Toy Materials

If you are new to the world of pleasure products then it may surprise you just how important sex toy materials are when choosing a product. Sadly sex toys aren’t regulated very well so not all are made with body-safe materials, and despite blogger’s best efforts to educate consumers about this many toxic toys are still sold. Furthermore, body-safe sex toy materials are very varied and will offer different experiences depending on which type you use and what your preferences are. I’ve put together this guide for consulting when making sex toy purchases to ensure you are not only spending your money wisely and getting a longer lasting product, but most importantly that you are not putting your health at risk.
