Mini Review: Lovehoney Oh! Bath Bomb

It’s been a few years now since I’ve written a ‘Mini Review’ for the blog, a category previously reserved for Toy Cleaners. But recently I’ve acquired a few items as gifts, that while I’m under no obligation to write about and that aren’t even really substantial enough as a product to give a regular review to, I still want to share my thoughts on. As such, Mini Reviews are probably something that will become a bit more regular on the blog now! First up is a product I received from Lovehoney recently to celebrate Sexual Happiness Week, the Lovehoney Oh! Bath Bomb.

Paloqueth, Reviews, Silicone, USB Rechargeable, Vibrators

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.

Clitoral Stimulator, Hot Octopuss, Reviews, TPE, USB Rechargeable

Review: Hot Octopuss Queen Bee

The Hot Octopuss Queen Bee is one of those toys that everyone knew about and wanted when it was released. The UK brand is known for their innovative penis-oriented pleasure products, so when they announced they were working on a toy for the clitoris, it was a big deal. Not just for sex toy reviewers like me either, as Hot Octopuss have a fantastic marketing team that had even the general public literally lining up to try this toy. Just the PR for this product was so good that it beat out McDonalds for an award on it, which I can’t imagine is an easy feat. But when the toy was finally released into the hands of reviewers… the thoughts were, well, mixed. I’ve heard fantastic things and I’ve heard not-so-fantastic things about this product. But that only made me want it more, how could a product have so many different opinions? Due to all this I was super excited when Hot Octopuss got in contact with me recently to review it for them.

Review: KINK by Doc Johnson Drencher

The best thing about giveaways is it gives me the opportunity to connect with you, my readers, and find out exactly what sort of content you want to see here. One thing that often comes up a lot is for reviews of more kink-orientated sex toys, as these are generally products not covered by the mainstream reviewers. Now, I am definitely not the most kinky person out there, and if not for my affinity with sex toys then I’d go so far as to say that I am pretty vanilla. But, while I may not be as qualified to discuss these items as a true kinkster, I don’t see why I can’t still review them from my own perspective. After all, you folks clearly want to hear about them and there is definitely a gap in the market for these sorts of reviews! Who knows, perhaps I’ll awaken a hidden fetish I never knew I had? To go about this I’ve acquired a few items from the recent collaboration by Doc Johnson and Kink.com, and today I’ll be starting by reviewing their Drencher.

Review: Adorime Rabbit Vibrator

I feel like I’ve had some pretty good luck with sex toys this year, which is almost surprising since I’ve mostly been testing products from lesser-known brands, rather than the usual big industry players. It’s taught me to not judge a book by its cover, or in this case a sex toy by its manufacturer’s reputation, or lack thereof. On that note, today’s review is on the Adorime Rabbit, a G-Spot and clitoral vibrator with two motors for dual stimulation. I hadn’t heard of Adorime previously to them contacting me, but they’ve actually been manufacturing products in China since 2015, and have since signed on as one of my blog’s sponsors! I’ve really enjoyed working alongside their company during this time, and so was eager to also try out one of their products for the blog. They offered to send me their popular rabbit vibe, which I was more than happy to accept.

Podcasts, Reviews

Review: The Ersties Podcast

Podcasts are one of the fastest growing content mediums these days, and in our ever busy lives it is easy to understand why. They offer an opportunity to entertain and educate us during our long commutes, boring work routines, and even manage to make household chores more interesting. Plus, in 2018 we are especially spoilt for choice when it comes to finding a podcast to listen to, it seems like there is one for everything! I’ve got to admit though that personally I don’t listen to that many podcasts. My days tend to be made up of managing social media accounts and writing from home, which is generally too involved to be able to listen to podcasts regularly. But whenever I’m doing an absent-minded task such as cleaning or painting, one of my favourite things to do alongside it is to put on a good podcast. My favourite topic is sex (obviously), so I was really excited when The Ersties Podcast contacted me recently about reviewing their show. Being able to listen to a podcast for work is probably one of the best things ever, plus it made doing the spring cleaning this year a lot more fun!
