It’s hard to believe, but we’re already halfway through the year! It’s been a pretty good one so far here at Princess Previews, but for anyone who read my Top 10 Toys of 2018 post you might have noticed that something has been missing… dildos! That’s right, in that post I declared that 2019 would be the year of dildos, since I had been sorely lacking reviews of my favourite type of toy on the blog last year (I only did one!). Well, it might have taken a little while, but here I am finally with my first dildo review of the year (that is, unless you count the Kink by Doc Johnson Drencher, but I don’t since I couldn’t actually fit it inside of me). It doesn’t stop here either, as SheVibe have been kind enough to send me three of the best looking dildos on the market right now. Coming up soon is the Tantus Magma and Uberrime Ripley Alien, but today I am starting with the Blush Novelties Neo Elite 7.5 Inch.
Review: Paloqueth Dolphin Vibrator
The first sex toy I ever took notice of was the original We-Vibe couples vibrator, which has now been followed up by toys like the We-Vibe Chorus. Even though this was back when I was in high school, I remember it being a big deal and watching the toy break through into the mainstream (or as mainstream as a sex toy can be). I enthusiastically told all my friends how much I loved the idea of it, and tried very hard to win one when I attended my first ever sex convention that year. Despite then going on to work in the sex industry and review toys professionally, I still never got the opportunity to review that infamous style of toy that started it all for me. It certainly hasn’t been without me trying though, as numerous times I’ve had offers to review a couples vibe only for it to fall through. But here I am, finally, after all these years, with my first ever couples vibrator. It may not be a We-Vibe, but I was ridiculously excited to try out the Paloqueth Dolphin anyway.
Review: Paloqueth Rabbit Vibrator
It takes a lot to impress me. At this point I’ve been doing this for just under 4 years, and with almost 100 reviews under my belt (and many more sex toys under my bed), I find it harder and harder to be wow’d by a toy. But last year one really stood out for me, and it was a simple $20 rabbit vibrator. I’m talking about the Paloqueth G-Spot Vibrator, or the Paloqueth Mermaid as they’ve now renamed it. This toy came in at Number 3 on my Top 10 Sex Toys of 2018 list, and ranking it so high was not an easy decision. Could a simple and generic $20 vibe really make it that far on my list? Could a company with no stockists, that only sell their toys on Amazon to the US and Germany really be included? What’s more, myself and a few other bloggers experienced harassment by one of the staff members in November last year. I felt by including Paloqueth’s product on my list it would make it lose credibility, but at the end of the day my mission here at the blog is to give you folks my honest opinions: and honestly, my G-Spot adored this toy. Since then I’m happy to report that the company has reached out and apologised for the issues I had with one of their staff, and have offered to send me some new toys for review. If it was any other company I think I would have said no, but since this was the maker of a toy I enjoyed so throughly, I couldn’t help but accept.
Review: Nephrite Jade Yoni Egg
Two things I am hoping to try more of this year are toys made of stone or crystal, and kegel toys. So when I was recently browsing Mojoco’s website to choose toys to review for them, you can imagine my excitement when I saw they sell yoni eggs. Yoni eggs, for those of you who are unfamiliar with them, are essentially the two things I was after combined: a stone egg designed to strengthen your kegel muscles. While I have tried other types of kegel toys previously, I’ve always been a little hesitant to request a yoni egg for review, since unlike the rest they do not come with an attached string for easy removal, and the idea of struggling to retrieve it from my vagina has always freaked me out. But I decided it was about time to face that fear, and was excited when Mojoco decided to send me their Certified Nephrite Jade Egg.
Review: Paloqueth Bondage Set
I’m not the kinkiest blogger on the block, but I love to try new things and find new ways to play sexually. I remember back when I was 18 and first exploring my sexuality, a BDSM bondage set was one of the first adult purchases I ever made. It was a simple, low-quality set from eBay, but I loved it and still occasionally use it to this day. I’ve had people ask me about it before for themselves, but since it’s not from a proper brand I’ve never been able to really recommend it. So, when Paloqueth approached me recently about testing some of their products, I was immediately drawn to their Bondage Set. It’s very similar to my previous one, except with more items and made to what appeared to be a much higher-quality. I’m excited for the chance to finally review a product like this at my blog, and possibly finally have a bondage set worthy of my recommendation!
Review: Rocks Off Purple Heart
Sex toys can come in all shapes and sizes, but sadly most look pretty much the same, with companies sticking to the traditional designs that have been around for years. This can be great, it means you’re getting something that is known to perform well, but if you want your toy collection to keep expanding after you get these fundamental types, then it can get a little boring as you struggle to find anything new or original. I often feel like this, so when Rocks Off recently approached me about trying their new range of toys, I was instantly drawn to the Purple Heart when I saw it. It isn’t quite a clitoral vibrator, and it isn’t quite a wand massager. In fact, I personally haven’t seen anything like it before. But the design makes a lot of sense to me, plus it looks fantastic. Of course, when designing something new the risk factor that it won’t work is a lot higher, but I think companies need to take these risks occasionally in order to innovate. Either way, this is a toy I was super excited to try out.
