Review: Lovehoney Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl

Lovehoney Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl

As a sex toy reviewer I feel like I’m always looking at new releases and trying to discover that next big thing, but if we were going to talk about products that have stood the test of time to be well loved years after their launch, then I’d be remiss to not mention Lovehoney’s hugely popular Greedy Girl from their Fifty Shades of Grey line. The UK retailer’s collaboration with the best-selling book series is one of their most notable collections, but no product from it has ever quite come close to the cult-status that this classic black rabbit has acquired. For years now I’ve watched it consistently rank as one of Lovehoney’s best selling products, and to be perfectly honest I always just assumed it was because of the FSOG craze, and nothing more. But with the film adaptations over, and the books celebrating their 10th year anniversary, the fad may be gone but the Greedy Girl’s sales have shown no signs of slowing down. So today, with the help of JOUJOU, I think it is finally time to see what all the fuss is about!

Review: Lora DiCarlo Filare

Lora DiCarlo Filare Buttons

One major wish of any sex toy company (at least I would assume) is to break through into the mainstream. After all, every brand wants to be known, and for a industry that is constantly blocked from advertising, social media, and anything else of value, achieving this feels like playing a game that has been rigged against you. There are companies that have come close, of course, but honestly I don’t think any one brand can truly claim the title of being public knowledge in the same way that OnlyFans seems to have recently become. Out of them all though, it is a company called Lora DiCarlo that has recently begun to lead the charge with the passion that only a new brand could muster, and in the short time they’ve been around they have already made a lasting impact on this industry. So, when For Her Box recently reached out to me about reviewing their Filare clitoral stimulator, I couldn’t have been more excited.

Review: Le Wand Rechargeable Massager

Le Wand Rechargeable Massager

Despite being a relatively new brand, Le Wand’s products continually seem to be a topic of debate among sex bloggers, and for good reason. Accused of being a “copy-cat” manufacturer, the luxury toy brand has been releasing products that look suspiciously similar to those from other brands for years now, but with the announcement of their latest Stainless Steel collection, which features toys almost identical to those from Njoy, things have really heated up. Now, my thoughts on this matter could make up an entire post of their own, so for now I’ll just say that taking inspiration from popular products is just part of design, and as frustrating as it might be, it’s something that happens across all industries. Plus, an important thing to consider is that while Njoy’s products (which range from $130 to $520 AUD) are not a possibility for most people, Le Wand’s are significantly cheaper, and I am 100% here for making toys more accessible. At the end of the day though, Le Wand is a luxury brand too, and keeping their prices lower than the toys they take inspiration from isn’t always easy. With that in mind, today I am taking a look at the Le Wand Rechargeable Massager, a toy that’s very similar to one of my personal favourites, the Magic Wand Rechargeable, despite costing more!

Review: We-Vibe Nova 2

We-Vibe Nova 2

Recently I was asked for a rabbit vibrator recommendation from one of my readers whose old toy had just broke, and as I scrolled through almost five years worth of my own reviews to find something suitable, I realised with surprise that there wasn’t a single product I felt I could suggest. I’m not sure whether it’s because rabbit vibrators are so hit or miss and I just haven’t found something I enjoy enough yet, or that they perhaps just aren’t for me, but the bottom line is that I don’t have even one traditional rabbit vibrator that I personally enjoy enough to feel comfortable recommending it to someone else. Of all the rabbits I’ve tried, there have been plenty of alright products, such as The Rabbit Company Come Hither and Vibease Esthesia, but even my current favourite, the Rocks Off Regala, can’t even stimulate my pleasure points effectively. In fact, the best dual-stimulation toys I’ve tried aren’t even rabbits at all, but the Womanizer DUO and SenseMax SenseVibe Warm, two luxury toys that aren’t exactly what people are after when they ask for rabbit recommendations. Plus, the nature of rabbits means that even if I did find one I enjoy, chances are it wouldn’t work for you anyway. But, when I recently heard that We-Vibe were releasing a newer version of their legendary Nova rabbit, a flexible vibrator designed to work with a range of body types and the toy that Womanizer based the DUO’s amazing G-Spot arm on, I was all in.

Review: Le Wand Point

Le Wand Point

For a long time, and perhaps even now, my drive for sex toys was driven by aesthetics. I love cute things, but in no other aspect of my life am I able to justify buying multiple versions of essentially the same product just because it looks different. I would never think to purchase different watches or headphones just to have a variety of styles, even if there were slight technical differences between them, but for some reason sex toys defies this thinking for me (and not just because I’m a reviewer). It feels like you can never have enough of them, and I am more than happy to buy a large range of dildos, butt plugs, vibrators and more, even if I already have one that does what it does, based solely on how they look. In fact, I even have multiple versions of the same product just so I could get it in different colours! My point is that I love the aesthetic possibilities that sex toys provide, and so today I want to talk about a company who has embodied this idea perhaps better than any other, and that is Le Wand.

Review: Lovehoney Gyr8tor

Lovehoney Gyr8tor

If I had to name one initiative in the sex toy industry that I really love, I think I would have to say Lovehoney’s Design a Sex Toy competition. Launched in 2009, the contest is essentially just a way for Lovehoney to come up with new sex toy ideas, except unlike other companies who may just take a customer’s idea and run with it, Lovehoney definitely make it worth your while. Aside from a $5K cash prize upon your idea being chosen, you will also receive royalties from the product if Lovehoney decide to actually make it. In fact, you’ve probably heard of the Sqweel, which, aside from being the first product to win the contest, went on to become so popular that it ended up making its creator over $600K AUD in royalties. So yeah, the Lovehoney Design a Sex Toy competition is a pretty big deal, and if you ever have an idea worth entering I’d highly advise it. Anyway, the reason I’m talking about all of this is because today I will be reviewing the latest winner of the contest, which is a toy so different that Lovehoney have even gone so far as to include the word “revolutionary” in its tagline. Introducing… the Lovehoney Gyr8tor.
