After a lovely break over the last few weeks I’m feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready to get back to reviewing! So to kick things off I thought we’d take a look at a toy I teased a fair bit last year and that is the follow-up to my previous review featuring the Cosmopolitan G-Spot Romance. That’s right, it’s finally time for my review of the Cosmopolitan Enchantment Bullet, the second toy from the popular magazine’s new range that My Little Secret were kind enough to send me recently. Now, I quite enjoyed the G-Spot Romance, but the biggest issue I faced with it was that I felt its luxury price tag did not reflect what was essentially a very basic vibrator. The Enchantment Bullet on the other hand is a lot more reasonable, as with a price of $59.95 AUD / $42 USD this toy costs about the same, if not less, as a lot of other bullet vibrators of its kind. Still, after my review of the G-Spot Romance I couldn’t help but feel less than confident with the Cosmopolitan range, but that just made me even more eager to try out the Enchantment Bullet to see if it would be able to help renew my excitement for this brand.
Review: Blush Novelties Aria Flutter Tongue
My favourite new sex toy trend this year, and it seems the entire internet’s, has to be the flicky tongue-like stimulators that appear to keep popping up out of nowhere. It seemed to all start with the Zumio back in 2017, which ZALO then put their spin on by making the moving element more like a silicone tongue. Since then I’ve seen countless other companies implementing this same idea for their own toys, with some going so far as to make the “tongue” literally move back and forth, and others just using vibrations to give the appearance of movement. These sorts of oral-sex imitators aren’t entirely new, but the renewed public interest has certainly been encouraging companies to develop new and exciting tech for it, which seems to go hand in hand with creating even wackier designs than usual. Two toys that have gone viral this year because of their hilarious looking (but also oddly seductive) flapping tongues are the Pipedream Fantasy for Her Ultimate Pleasure and the Blush Novelties Aria Flutter Tongue. So I knew I wouldn’t be doing my duty as a sex toy reviewer if I didn’t try at least one of them before the end of the year, and since Pipedream is on my blacklist, it had to be the Aria Flutter Tongue!
Review: ZALO HERO
Confidence is sexy. So when I received a press release from ZALO a few weeks ago that introduced themselves as “the leading luxury sex toy manufacturer” I was both surprised and intrigued. For a company who only branched out to the western market a few years ago, they are still considered by many the new kid on the block, that is if you even know who they are. ZALO’s products are beautiful and their packaging is exquisite, and even though I’ve only tried one of their toys, the Queen, I loved it. But “the leading luxury sex toy manufacturer”? That’s a bold claim. It is one, however, I expected them to at least be able to back up, and that is what got me first interested in the toy that the press release featured. It was HERO, their “newest and most advanced” toy yet, and as the second toy in their Legend series it was also the follow-up to the success of the Queen. Of course, with this I knew I had to get my hands on the HERO, and I was lucky enough to have ZALO and JOUJOU team up to send it my way.
Review: Blush Novelties The Collection Sweet Bunny
At this point in my sexual journey I am pretty good at picking out adult toys that I am going to like. I know what brands and retailers I can trust to provide good quality products, and I know what types of toys I enjoy. In fact, I know what sub-types of toys I enjoy, and what sub-types of those sub-types I enjoy. When you’re a reviewer you have to analyse each product you try, which lets you pick up on things that most people wouldn’t even notice, and in turn you really get to understand your preferences when it comes to your own sexual pleasure. So, due to all this I’m usually pretty careful when choosing toys. But there is just one thing that always ruins this otherwise foolproof plan for me… One thing that I just can’t resist! Cute toys. And Blush Novelties’ new Sweet Bunny Classic Slim Vibe from their The Collection range is one of the cutest I’ve seen for awhile.
Review: The Rabbit Company Come Hither Rabbit
If I had a bucket list of sex toys, a traditional style rabbit vibrator would have certainly been present on it until very recently. I’ve tried a few toys over the years that take their inspiration from the dual stimulation first pioneered by rabbits, such as the SenseMax SenseVibe, Adorime Rabbit and Vibease Esthesia, but until late last month I had never actually tried a design where the external arm included the classic rabbit ears, which is where the name stems from. So, in true reviewer style, after longing over one of these vibes for so long, when I finally get one I get two at once. The first was the Paloqueth Rabbit, which I reviewed last week, while today’s review is on The Rabbit Company Come Hither, which I received shortly after. Trying the two out at the same time was certainly interesting, as while they look very similar, they couldn’t be more different. While Paloqueth’s Rabbit is only a simple, low-budget vibe, The Come Hither is an expensive luxury toy with more than a few tricks up its sleeve.
Review: ZALO Queen Set
Back in 2017 I worked with a Chinese sex toy manufacturer that was looking to reach out to the western market. Their name was ZALO, and their products were like nothing I’ve ever seen before. While their designs weren’t particularly new, the actual appearance of their products were amazing, taking design cues from Versailles and Lolita styles (which these collections are adequately named after) to create a range of products fit for a princess, or even a magical girl if you check out their Sweet Magic collection. I promoted ZALO as a sponsor for 3 months, and spent every minute of it lusting after their products, but my tight schedule back then meant I never actually got to test anything. Since then I’ve heard nothing but good things about the company and their US expansion, with their newly released Queen Set winning the coveted Luxury Pleasure Product of the Year award at XBIZ Europa. So when JOUJOU recently approached me to review it, therefore finally giving me the opportunity to try a ZALO toy for myself, what do you think I said?
