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.
Review: Blush Novelties Noje W3
While I love all sorts of sex toys, I have to admit that clitoral vibrators and wand massagers are easily the type I use the most. It’s only sometimes that I am in the mood for dildos, internal vibrators, or butt plugs, but almost daily you can find me using a external vibrator. To me, wand massagers are the ultimate lazy masturbation toys, while clitoral vibrators are the perfect accessory to any sexy-time encounters with my partner. So, when Peepshow Toys approached me recently about reviewing some toys for them, I was drawn to the Blush Novelties Noje W3, as it’s essentially a cross between these two types of external vibrating toys. How? Well, it may look like a wand massager, but at less than half the size of my Magic Wand, it’s even smaller than some of my clitoral vibrators!
Review: Rocks Off Unihorn Stardust
I love working directly with manufacturers. Not only does it mean I get to work alongside the people who actually make the product, but it can also mean I get access to brand new products that might have not even hit the stores yet. So, recently when I saw Rocks Off put out a call for reviewers for their newest toy range, I was super eager to be a part of it. I was then lucky enough to get chosen, and sent a list of items to choose from. This was a tough decision, but ultimately my love for clitoral toys won out, and I requested the Rocks Off Unihorn and Purple Heart, two fantastic looking clitoral vibrators. Today I am just reviewing the Unihorn, but look out for my Purple Heart review in the coming weeks.
Review: Nu Sensuelle Point Bullet
I’ve seen the Nu Sensuelle Point around for awhile, and it has always peaked my interest. If you know your sex toys, you’ll probably notice that while this is essentially just a generic bullet style clit vibrator, it also looks a hell of a lot like the We-Vibe Tango, which just so happens to be one of my all time favourite sex toys. The perks of the Nu Sensuelle Point over the Tango though? Well, it is cheaper, it has more functions, it has a charging stand (instead of the Tango’s frustratingly bad magnetic charger), and it is designed in Australia (you know I love supporting local manufacturers and retailers). Plus, I’ve heard from other bloggers that its vibrations are pretty good too, so it has definitely been on my watch list for review items, especially since I always love to find cheaper and local alternatives to toys for recommendation. So when Femplay, one of my blog sponsors, recently offered me a few toys to review and I noticed the Nu Sensuelle Point on the list, I knew I just had to give it a go.
Review: Dame Fin
I love seeing sex toys being talked about in the mainstream media, and if there is one company that is superb at getting attention from media that would usually see sex toys as taboo, it is Dame Products. It’s no surprise, their branding is that of a minimalist and trendy gadget start-up for millennials rather than a sex toy, and quite frankly it is refreshing to see. Their second product Fin, that I am reviewing today, broke records as the first ever sex toy campaign on Kickstarter, and brought in almost $400,000 worth of pledges, despite only having a $50,000 goal. This immediately told me that this toy was going to be a big deal. Since I never tried their first product, Eva, which had a similar crowdfunding success, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. But I did remember hearing that it wasn’t all that great. The Fin’s Kickstarter video looked so good though that I truly believed it would finally cement Dame as a quality sex toy manufacturer. But, then I read this interview, where the product designer states their ‘research‘ of sex toys is based on their purchases from Amazon…. and it all went downhill from there.
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.
