One of the most memorable products I’ve reviewed this year so far has to be the Pink Punch Peachu. Whilst the suction toy sadly wasn’t able to satisfy me as well as I hoped, I was blown away by every other aspect of it. Despite being a relatively new brand with only one other product under their belt, Pink Punch had clearly applied a high level of thought and consideration into their flagship stimulator, with the design of the toy itself and everything else relating to it being exceptional. The Peachu, based appropriately on a peach, is a mini work of art, as is its discreet packaging, unique storage case (which doubled as a charging dock), and cyberpunk-style phone app for long-distance control. So, when that review was done, the only thing on my mind was getting my hands on Pink Punch’s other release, the Sunset Mushroom.
Review: YoYoLemon Mini Wand
Wand massagers are my second favourite type of sex toy (for a long time they were my first, until my love for suction toys finally won out), although until recently I hadn’t really reviewed that many. Over the last few weeks, however, I’ve shared my thoughts on a huge range of shapes and sizes, and all at a lower price point than I usually review. Last week’s post seemed to be a culmination of this, with it not only being my longest massager ever, but my cheapest, and it was pretty dang good too. But I’m not done yet, because this week I’m turning around and going in the opposite direction, with the smallest massager I’ve reviewed so far. In fact, the YoYoLemon Mini Wand is so small, I’m not even sure calling it a wand is appropriate. Thankfully size is the only big difference between this toy and the Funzze Massager, though, as at just $60 AUD / $40 USD it is still very reasonably priced.
Review: Uncover Creations Tentacle Grinder II
Going from never trying a grinder before to reviewing six of them at once last year in my Grinder Round-Up was certainly a risky decision, but one that I’m so glad I made, with this new style of sex toy being one of the highlights of 2022. Since then, I’ve reviewed three more, (the luxury Vibe Pad and innovative Godemiche Grind Ring in Pyramids and Bubbles), and with another three now on the way (Banana Pant’s Bumpher, Shagger & Honeybunch), this exciting new trend is showing no signs of slowing down. Of course, today’s review is also on a grinder, and this one is a real beauty. The Tentacle Grinder II from small business Uncover Creations is certainly a sight to behold, with its large singular tentacle protruding from the ocean depths that is its base.
Review: Funzze Couple Sharing Vibrator Ⅱ
Last week at the blog I looked at a new range of toys based around the idea of not using gendered marketing or specifying a particular use, so that users could instead make their own decisions on how to go about enjoying them. But whilst the Sunflower and the rest of Evolved Novelties’ Gender X range were certainly non-gendered, their line of mostly classic sex toys still couldn’t shake off the methods of use that we’ve already come to associate them with. So for today’s review, I’m looking to take this idea one step further, with a vibrator that’ll really get your imagination going. The Funzze Couple Sharing Vibrator II is a new style of sex toy that I’ve watched go viral over the past few years. With two rounded prongs at one end and a large shaft at the other, there is no immediately obvious way to use this product, and this sense of choice has made the design a popular option when shopping with white-label retailers.
Review: Gender X Sunflower
Navigating the world of sex toys as a non-binary queer person is not easy. Go to almost any online sex store, and you’ll see a menu with categories like “female”, “male”, “couples”, “gay” and “lesbian”. But where do I fit? I could choose female, my gender assigned at birth, but what if I want a toy I can use solo and with a partner, and what if I don’t know the gender of said partner? It gives me a headache just thinking about it, and that’s as someone with almost a decade of experience in the industry. So I can’t imagine the difficulties that arise for someone new to all this, regardless of how you identify. Because at the end of the day, it’s all bullshit. Sex toys have no gender or sexuality, and the vast majority of them can be used by anyone, regardless of your genitals or preference of partner. So when Betty’s Toy Box (one of the few retailers doing the right thing by categorising toys by type and which body part they stimulate) recently introduced me to Evolved Novelties’ new brand Gender X, which offers a range of gender-neutral sex toys, I signed right up to review the Sunflower.
Review: Doxy Bullet
Way back in 2017 I published a post talking all about the top new sex toys that I wanted. Half designed as a space for me to express my excitement over new releases and share the news with you all, and half intended as a *wink wink* to brands, the second part didn’t exactly work out considering I never ended up getting any of them. That is until late last year anyway, when I finally reviewed the Doxy Die Cast 3R, the smaller version of the UK brand’s popular massager wand. On that list, however, there were actually two Doxy products featured, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment that the long awaited Doxy Bullet never came to pass when reviewing the wand last year. So, you can imagine my surprise when out of seemingly nowhere, Doxy finally released it to the world just a few months ago!
