The best thing about giveaways is it gives me the opportunity to connect with you, my readers, and find out exactly what sort of content you want to see here. One thing that often comes up a lot is for reviews of more kink-orientated sex toys, as these are generally products not covered by the mainstream reviewers. Now, I am definitely not the most kinky person out there, and if not for my affinity with sex toys then I’d go so far as to say that I am pretty vanilla. But, while I may not be as qualified to discuss these items as a true kinkster, I don’t see why I can’t still review them from my own perspective. After all, you folks clearly want to hear about them and there is definitely a gap in the market for these sorts of reviews! Who knows, perhaps I’ll awaken a hidden fetish I never knew I had? To go about this I’ve acquired a few items from the recent collaboration by Doc Johnson and Kink.com, and today I’ll be starting by reviewing their Drencher.
Review: Sola Sync
I always have mixed feelings whenever I am sent wand massagers for review. They are by far my favourite sex toys, so much so that I’m not sure if I could live without them. So the chances are I am probably going to very much enjoy testing any wand massager that happens to come my way. But at the same time, I feel this makes me more critical, as the bar for them has already been set so high, that how on earth can anything possibly attempt to exceed it? Despite all that though, I just can’t help but want as many as possible in my toy box, and my latest addition to this addiction happens to be the Sola Sync. While most wands are all essentially the same thing but with a different look and motor, the Sync stood out to me with its unique shape, and most interesting of all… a remote control! Thankfully Peepshow Toys were kind enough to send me one for review to see if it lives up to my high standards.
Review: California Exotics Luxe
I am a huge sci-fi nut, so the idea of any AI or responsive sex toy design is always something I am hugely interested in. There have been a few, but I haven’t heard of anything ‘wow’ yet, and haven’t tried any myself. I believe these toys are going to continue to pop up though, and I’m sure in 10 or so years time they will dominate the market. So recently when I was approached by my sponsor Femplay to review some of their products, I noticed the California Exotics Luxe amongst their range. I was immediately drawn to it due to its supposed ‘Touch-Sensitive Technology’. This is the sort of innovative idea that I am really excited to see more of in the sex toy industry, so I was super intrigued to find out more and see how it functioned for myself. I requested it from Femplay and they were kind enough to provide it for this review.
Review: Vibease Esthesia
If I had to name one of my favourite and most unique reviews this year then the Vibease clitoral vibrator would surely come up. I had no idea what it would be like and was more than a little cynical about its erotic audio books, but it didn’t take me long to fall in love with it. While it had its faults, namely being difficult to use without its phone app, overall I gave it a good review. After publishing it I was once again contacted by Vibease, who were pleased with the review and offered to send me their only other product, the Esthesia. This toy is essentially the same as the Vibease and is also designed for use alongside their phone app, however rather than being a clit vibe it’s a rabbit vibrator. While I have now tried two dual stimulation vibrators, the MysteryVibe Crescendo and SenseMax SenseVibe, this is the first one that actually features the traditional shape of the rabbit vibrator (without the actual rabbit), so I guess technically this is my first one! Due to this and my love for the Vibease, I have been very excited to try out the Esthesia and write this review.
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.
Review: L’amourose Prism V
Even though I am a sex toy reviewer and it might seem like I can get whatever toy I want there is still a bunch that I desperately desire but have never had the opportunity to review, and up until now this particular toy has been at the top of that list. Even though I had never tried any products from them before, L’amourose is one of my favourite luxury sex toy manufacturers. I hear constant praise for their products and customer service, and I love the designs they come out with. A few times I have had the opportunity to review L’amourose, and so after much research I decided that the Prism V was the toy I wanted most, however all those times ultimately fell through. But when JOUJOU recently approached me and asked if I wanted to review something for them I was overjoyed when I saw they stocked the L’amourose Prism V and requested it straight away.
