I’ve been wanting to expand into reviewing products designed for the penis, testicles, and prostate for years. But as it’s not something I can do myself, it was starting to seem like it was never gong to happen. I haven’t ever met anyone I felt I could trust to do the job professionally enough for me, and sex toys aren’t something my partner has ever shown interest in for himself. That was, however, until Hot Octopuss contacted me about reviewing for them and I showed him the PULSE range. Hot Octopuss are a brand who excel at marketing, and he was quickly drawn in by how cool and modern their website is, as well as the sleek design of their multi-award winning toy. For the first time he actually wanted to try out a toy, and this was definitely helped by the fact that the PULSE DUO can also work for couples. So, here we are, about to jump into my first ever penis masturbator review with the help of my partner!
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.
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: YES WB Lubricant
While I like to test out as many sex toys as I can get my hands on, I’m a bit more picky when it comes to lubricants. I already know I love the Sliquid range, and since they have so many options available it isn’t often I feel the need to try out a new brand. But, I know that even Sliquid isn’t accessible to everyone, whether it’s because of ingredients, price, or availability in your area, and I also feel it’s part of my duty as a sex toy reviewer to test out what is essentially the companion product to almost every sex toy. So if I had to name one lubricant I’ve heard the most raving about lately and been eager to try out for myself, it’s definitely the YES WB lubricant. I’ve been following the company for a while online now, and loved their ethical and organic approach to their products. Therefore, recently when Mojoco approached me about reviewing the YES WB, I was more than glad to accept the opportunity.
Review: Rocks Off Purple Heart
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: 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.
