It is not often a sex toy gains the amount of popularity that the MysteryVibe Crescendo achieved before it was even released. What started as a crowd funding campaign in 2005, the Crescendo quickly became seen as the next big thing in sex toys by both bloggers and the sex-positive general public alike. The idea of a bendable sex toy with six motors instantly made headlines, and its innovative design of a gender neutral and fully customisable vibrator that could be adjusted to suit the user’s preferences was much welcomed and endorsed by sex bloggers, including me. Plus, combined with its app and six motors (yes, that wasn’t a typo) you can even customise and design your own vibration styles and patterns. The seemingly only downside to the toy was its material, which was TPE, but they have now changed this to wonderful body-safe silicone, making what seemed like a already pretty perfect toy even better!
Review: Tantus Uncut #1
This is my first review of 2017 and this year I’ve got a lot of big goals for the blog. One of them is trying to diversify my posts and review products. Different types of toys, writing more about my opinions on certain topics rather than just reviews, and so forth. So, on that note, even though it’s a little bit of a stretch, I thought that this sex toy would be the perfect way to kick off the year. The Tantus Uncut #1 represents a step forward in dildo diversity. If you hadn’t noticed, this particular dildo is uncircumcised and features a foreskin. I’ve read a lot of reviews on this toy before deciding to get one, and bloggers often talk about how they have never had a uncircumcised partner before, but that is because the majority of them are from the US where around 80% of penises are circumcised. I, on the other hand, live in Australia where only around 30% of penises are circumcised, so as you can imagine all my partners have been ‘uncut’. This also explains why you’ve likely never seen a uncircumcised dildo or penis in the media before, because the majority of our porn and sex toys come from the US! I was so happy to see the penises that I know and love represented when Tantus announced the Uncut, and since have been so glad to see many other sex toy companies continue this awesome trend.
Review: Njoy Pure Wand
When I started reviewing I made a list of all the toys I believed were Sex Toy Reviewer Must-Haves. I’m proud to say I now own all of them, but for awhile there has been one exception to this and that was the Njoy Pure Wand. Renowned for its heavenly G-spotting and squirting abilities in the sex toy world, the Njoy Pure Wand has been a toy I have probably mentioned in my reviews over a hundred times. One of the main reasons I haven’t gotten it till now (other than the price) is that I have a difficult G-spot that loves to hide and I was starting to think it just wasn’t for me. This was until in July when I got the Jopen Comet Wand as a cheaper way for me to explore the world of G-spotting before committing to one of Njoy’s pieces. If you’ve read that review, which I’d recommend if you’re interested in G-spotting and the Pure Wand, you’ll know that I absolutely adored it and instantly made the decision to get a Njoy Pure Wand as soon as humanly possible. So, of course, as soon as I heard one of my favourite stores to work with, JOUJOU, had started stocking Njoy recently, you can bet exactly what I requested!
Review: Tantus Gary
It has been over a year now since I reviewed my first realistic Tantus dildo, the Pack ‘n Play No.2, and declared it my favourite dildo, giving it a whopping 94% review score. Since then I have tried many dildos of all different types, but nothing has really come close to the feelings I get with the Pack ‘n Play. So when I had the recent opportunity to review some of Tantus’ products, I knew I wanted something I thought could stand up to it. I chose the Tantus Gary, because to me it looks like a upgraded version of the Pack ‘n Play. They’re both realistic dildos that use Tantus’ soft silicone (although the Gary has a firmer inner core) and have similar girths. I knew instantly when it arrived that the Gary would make a perfect toy for me and maybe even live up to my love for the Pack ‘n Play No.2.
Review: Satisfyer Pro 2
If I had to name one sex toy that was all the rage back in 2015 when I was still a newbie reviewer, it would definitely have to be Womanizer’s oral sex stimulator. This unique new sex toy that created a suction feeling around the clitoris in order to give off the feeling of cunnilingus put sex toy reviewers in a frenzy, with it being unanimously loved for its exceptional oral sex stimulating and orgasm skills, while also being hated for its name, cringe-worthy designs, and price. Since I was still starting up when it came out I never got the chance to try it despite being a lover of all things clitoral stimulation, plus it was far too expensive for me to buy personally. This year, however, saw the launch of the Satisfyer Pro 2, a cheaper and more stylish looking product (although still a slightly cringe-worthy name) that mimicked the technology used on the Womanizer. With its much more reasonable price I patiently waited for it to arrive in Australia so I could buy one for myself and finally find out what all the fuss was about, but I was lucky enough to be contacted by Mimi De Luxe first and asked if I would like to try one when the first shipment came in.
Review: OVO R1 Rechargeable Remote Bullet
My first experience with OVO was at a sex convention last year. Among a sea of hot pink jelly dildos (as with all Australian sex conventions), their minimalist stall was a beautiful breath of fresh air, with their huge range of white and pastel coloured body-safe silicone sex toys. The majority of their range is internal vibrators such as rabbits, but they also sell clitoral vibes, kegel exercisers and cock rings. Plus, while they are a luxury style brand, their products are generally very reasonably priced. Sadly I wasn’t able to purchase any OVO products that day, but I have kept them in mind ever since and so was very excited when contacted by OVO for a review. While I love the look of their rabbits, I decided to try out their new couples vibrator, the OVO R1, for something a little different and to surprise my partner.
