Even though my last review of a Monster Pub product was all the way back in 2020, they have remained on my mind and on my blog as one of my sponsors for much of the last three years, and it has been exciting to watch their unique collection of toys grow. This is because, unlike other sex toy manufacturers, Monster Pub makes use of characters with different personalities and appearances for their toys, as a way to combat stigma around adult products by reminding us that they really are just toys. When purchasing any of their core catalogue, you can select between their Master Gokilla, Doctor Whale and Mister Devil, and your choice will not only affect the colour your product comes in, but slight visual and textural adjustments will also change the way you’re stimulated. Recently, however, there has been a new addition to the family, and I’m excited for you all to finally meet MOOMA today!
Review: Share Satisfaction Sutra
If we’re talking about sex toys that have managed to break through into the mainstream in recent years, it’s inevitable that names like the Rose Vibe and Satisfyer Pro 2 are going to come up. But another common answer, that I haven’t yet reviewed, has to be the AirVibe. Like the Rose, this white-label productA generic, mass-produced product that is regularly rebranded and sold to different companies, allowing them to all claim it as their own. is known by many names, but it was forever put on the map when ethical porn website Bellesa and the internet’s favourite time-waster Buzzfeed teamed up to release it together in 2020, and have since given away hundreds of copies for free, including a promotion that featured Cardi B. From that point on, I’ve been eager to get my hands on this toy to see what all the fuss was about, and so you can imagine my excitement when I found out New Zealand brand Share Satisfaction had acquired the toy as their very own Sutra.
Review: Honey Play Box Joi
As the range of options for clitoral stimulation increases over the years, I suppose it is only inevitable that these new styles will eventually be available in rabbit form. The bane of any sex toy reviewer’s existence, it was difficult enough to find a vibrating dual-stimulator to match your own body measurements, let alone one with a suction nozzle or flicking tongue. Yet while I have had some unexpected success with air pressure rabbits so far in the form of the Womanizer DUO, I have thankfully been able to avoid the latter of the two due to my general indifference to those little flapping pieces of silicone. That is, until now. When Honey Play Box recently approached me to review their brand new product, the Joi, it seemed it was finally time to give this rising star of the sex toy world a go. Which may or may not have been highly influenced by the fact that it comes in my favourite colour, which I’ve never had a vibrator in before.
Review: Snail Vibe
As a sex toy tester, I hear terms like “innovative”, “first of its kind”, and “revolutionary” a lot when looking at products to review, with every company seemingly trying to “reinvent” the vibrator. The thing is, they really don’t need reinventing. Sure, new features like app compatibility and Smart Silence are great, and motors can always be improved upon, but designs like wand massagers and G-Spot vibrators are classics for a reason, and don’t need entire overhauls. The exception to this, and the one product where I do think there is room for change, however, is the rabbit. Despite their popularity, these dual-stimulation toys are well known to be very hit-and-miss depending on how the user’s body matches up to the toy’s typically rigid measurements, and often considered a big risk to purchase. In fact, after seven years of reviewing them, the recent We-Vibe Nova 2 is the only one I feel even remotely safe in recommending to people, but even that doesn’t work for everyone. So when I heard about an entirely new type of dual stimulator that had just won an award for its universal design, I was excited. At least I was, until I saw it…
Review: YY Horse Mini Banana
Every week I spend hours sorting through press releases and trade magazines to find the best and most exciting new sex toys to bring you reviews of. It’s how I end up finding gems like the Hot Octopuss KURVE and Lovehoney X Love Not War Amore despite them being barely off the manufacturing line, alongside warnings for products that didn’t quite work out before you risk spending your hard earned money on them. So that’s why when a retailer like Honeysx comes along and says I can choose anything from their store to review, I can’t help but want to put my feet up a little and review something purely for fun instead. And that is exactly what the YY Horse Mini Banana is all about. Going full form over function, YY Horse (which is the brand name, and no, I don’t know why) have created what looks to be a terrible sex toy. But with one of the most adorable designs ever, the Mini Banana has truly won my heart.
Review: Irresistible Mythical
Last week’s review was full of firsts. It was my first time reviewing a suction toy outside of those from the major brands, such as Satisfyer and We-Vibe, which was surprising considering they’re my favourite type of sex toy. Plus, it was my first real look at the suction rabbit trend, which has recently risen out of the brilliant success of the Womanizer DUO. So it must be fate, because entirely by coincidence it just so happens that this week’s review item from For Her Box is an almost identical product (I did say it was a big trend, after all!). But while the Sohimi Suction Vibrator offered four different forms of stimulation all within its small little body for the ridiculously low price of $38, the Irresistible Mythical is significantly more simplified yet much more costly, coming in at $165. Still, this is far from the beloved DUO’s $330, making the Mythical a perfect middle ground between the two toys. Whether that actually stays true during testing however… we’re about to find out!
