For such a cute sex toy, the OSUGA Cuddly Bird sure had a lot of drama attached to it. So much so that when I reviewed it back in 2021, I had to do a deep dive into figuring out who actually made this toy, something you think would be easy. Luckily, it just so happened to be the brand I had agreed to review it for, and since then it has been a pleasure to watch OSUGA flourish, despite what could have very easily been seen as a regrettable venture into the sex industry for the Chinese company. Rather, they’ve continued to push the boundaries when it comes to mixing aesthetics with pleasure, and I’m always amazed at the unique designs they release. So, when they recently got back in touch and asked if I wanted to review their quirky new Flow vibrator, I was immediately hooked.
Review: SVAKOM Cici 2
My favourite sex toy trend this year so far has to be the rise of the slim vibe. These kinds of toys have always been around, whether for beginners, those who struggle with penetration, or just for people who simply prefer them. But until now they haven’t really been highlighted, instead relegated to the back of the shelf just in case someone happens to ask. Not to mention that many of them have a medical, rather than pleasure, spin, and whilst there is certainly still a place for these, it doesn’t need to be the standard. Recognising this fact, brands like AROSUM, whom I spoke about in my recent guide on Vaginal Tightness, are now meeting the demand, and consumers have been showing just how hungry they were for pleasure-focused vibrators with a reduced girth. SVAKOM’s popular Cici, for instance, has been so successful that they’ve now added the follow-up model to their app-controlled catalogue, and that’s exactly what I’m going to be exploring today.
Review: Dame Com
Whilst I’m always open to trying new things, there are brands I tend to work with more frequently than others. Admittedly, I am very lucky that these brands mostly represent the very best of the sex toy industry, allowing me to easily cover any new releases that seem particularly promising. But, like any good reviewer, I am constantly reading other people’s verdicts on toys or brands I haven’t tried, and just generally keeping my eyes out to ensure I don’t miss something worthwhile. One such brand that keeps popping up on my radar lately is Dame, as whilst I have reviewed for them in the past, they have an almost entirely new range now. It seems that after their (in my opinion) disastrous start, things have continued to turn around since I reviewed their Kip back in 2019, as these days I hear nothing but positives about the US-based brand, with this praise seemingly culminating with the release of their Com massager. So, when Good Vibes approached me recently and asked me to choose something from their store to review, the choice was easy.
Review: Magic Wand Micro
Last week we celebrated Magic Wand Day. How many other sex toys have holidays dedicated just to them? I can’t think of any, but then again no other toy really compares. It’s been 56 years now since the trademark application for the original Magic Wand was approved and an icon was born. I myself got my first Magic Wand, the Rechargeable, on my 20th birthday, and as my thirties quickly approach, there is no doubt that this is my most used sex toy of all time. It also goes to show the quality that’s put into these things, as despite using it at least once a week for the past nine years, I’ve never had so much as the slightest issue. Its more recent versions, the Magic Wand Plus and Mini, have been similarly beloved, although I was unsure what could possibly be next on the horizon, foolishly thinking that the Mini was surely as small as it gets. Well, Vibratex have certainly proved me wrong, with the release of the Magic Wand Micro!
Review: Bestvibe Sucking Vibrator
I can’t help but feel like I’ve become a bit of a connoisseur of suction toys over the last six years. While I was on the fence when they were first announced, it was simply love at first try, and since then they have become my favourite type of sex toy to both test and use. Powerful and climatic in a way that words struggle to describe, they are the only type of toy I don’t need to watch porn or do some intense visualisation to orgasm with, and playing with them always requires some tissues and a blanket on hand, for my inevitable watery eyes and need to bite down on something. So while Womanizer and Satisfyer are typically a safe bet when I’m recommending them to people, I’m pretty much always down to try new versions when they’re offered to me, and Bestvibe happens to be the latest brand to do so with their popular Sucking Vibrator.
Review: Womanizer Starlet 3
I’ve been on a hunt lately to find good quality suction on a budget. It saw me review the viral Sohimi ROSE, try out the infamous OSUGA Cuddly Bird (also known as the Biird Obii), and even take a second look at the toy that started it all, the Satisfyer Pro 2. But I would be remiss if I didn’t bother trying the beginner’s option from my favourite suction brand, WOW Tech’s Womanizer. Now, I must warn you, while the Womanizer Starlet is the cheapest option in the luxury German brand’s current catalogue, at $120 AUD it is still quite a hefty sum. Plus, with a favourite like the Womanizer Liberty coming in at only $30 more, it had me a little unsure of where this product could possibly fit in with the rest of my toys. But, with a recent rerelease taking it from the Starlet 2 to the Starlet 3, alongside the updated Premium 2 and Classic 2, I just couldn’t resist giving it a go when Lovehoney reached out about a review.
