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: 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: New York Toy Collective Ellis
In the sex toy industry, and as with most industries, there are the large brand name companies with huge product ranges and luxury packaging that can be found at practically every store, and then there are the smaller independent manufacturers who hand-make their products and focus on quality over quantity. Both are good and I think a mix of these two styles are important, especially since it is usually the larger companies who can afford to create more entry-level priced collections. However, I have so much more respect for the little guys who put so much love and care into each of their pieces, and basically put their financial (and sometimes personal) lives at risk just to help create great quality sex toys for us all. I want to support these sorts of companies as much as I can, but unfortunately they can be hard to access here in Australia when none of the larger retailers want to stock them. So this is why when I found The Slinky Minx, and was given the opportunity to review the New York Toy Collective Ellis, that I was so ridiculously overjoyed.
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: 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: Tantus Flurry
Since its release Tantus’s Dual Density O2 line has been all the rage in silicone dildos and my dream to own one of these beauties was finally fulfilled recently. In fact, I somehow now own three, which truly is a thought that fills my heart with happiness. This review is all about the Tantus Flurry, however I will soon be reviewing the other two, which are the Gary and Uncut #1. It has been a little while since my last Tantus review, so if you aren’t aware then let me mention once again that Tantus is one of my absolute favourite sex toy manufactures and dildo makers due to their use of body-safe ultra-premium silicone. They are the makers of my current favourite dildo, and if it wasn’t for the fact that their shipping prices to Australia are so high I would likely own every dildo they have on offer. Last year I treated myself and bought a few of their dildos before their shipping prices got so high, however this was my first time asking them for possible review items and I was so glad when they agreed to send me some toys over!
