I always try my best to review budget-friendly sex toys where I can. But when it comes to round-ups like my annual Top 10, it’s easy to forget these kinds of products in favour of the more premium offerings I’m so lucky to have access to. So that’s why it was such a surprise, both to myself and to my readers, when I released my 2023 rankings, only for one of the most inexpensive brands on the net to have not just one, not just two, but three products included! It was the first time since 2020 a single brand has taken out that many top spots, but even that was high-end Womanizer, with products that ranged from $150 AUD to $330 AUD. In stark contrast, Funzze’s three will only set you back a mere $40 AUD to $100 AUD, and the cheapest of the bunch just so happened to be my favourite type of sex toy: a pressure wave stimulator. So, when the brand recently reached out again about completing some more reviews, I went straight to their suction section to see if they had anything that could possibly rival it.
Review: Eden Fantasys Vibro Ride
The recent rise of grinders has caused quite a conundrum for sex toy retailers. Popularised by independent manufacturers, and typically featuring a fantasy twist, these products are not the sort of thing bigger retailers usually stock. Plus, because of their hand-made nature, most don’t have the ability to vibrate, at least not without an external bullet. And since many retailers only sell vibrating toys (or those that offer another form of electronic stimulation), because that’s generally what consumers want, it has meant looking for alternatives to meet the current demand. In the past I reviewed one such grinder-vibrator hybrid, the Vibe Pad, and now today I am doing it all over again for Eden Fantasys’ new Vibro Ride!
Review: Eden Fantasys Wonder
If you’ve spent much time on my blog, you’ll likely know that my two favourite types of pleasure products are, without question, air pressure wave toys and wand massagers. Nothing even comes close to comparing to these, and whilst they have a shared focus on the clitoris, they otherwise couldn’t be more different. Often large and expensive, massagers contain some of the most powerful vibrations a sex toy can offer, and provide a gradual build-up over their broad surface area to a satisfying and, in my opinion, relaxed orgasm. Meanwhile, the small and frequently budget-friendly clitoral stimulator uses air pressure waves to create a pin-point “suction” feeling on the clitoris, creating an intense and tear-jerking experience that is usually over before you know it. So, when Eden Fantasys recently reached out and offered me the chance to review some of their products, I was blown away when I saw the Wonder, a toy that is both a clitoral stimulator and massager in one!
Review: Sohimi Deep Sucker
I know I’m a little late to the party, but a few weeks ago I finally bought my first makeup sponge. I’m already obsessed, and whilst I’m no beauty influencer, I’d highly recommend getting one if you use liquid foundation. So, when Sohimi reached out recently about trying some more of their toys, it felt a bit like fate when I saw a clitoral stimulator cleverly disguised as a beauty blender in their store. They sent the Deep Sucker out to me right away, and whilst the shape is great, I do think the size, which is more than double a typical makeup sponge, offers a clear hint that this item isn’t what it seems. Regardless, with a standing design that places the suction nozzle at its base, this is still a promising sex toy for anyone who needs to maintain their privacy.
Review: Honey Play Box OLY
I’ve already tested a handful of app-controlled toys in 2023, but so far none of them have offered the convenience that makes me want to keep using the app in my spare time. Since I’m mostly using toys solo, the best way to incorporate apps into my routine is during extended wear, rather than bedside play. This is what I had hoped for with my recent review of the We-Vibe Ditto+, but with glitches getting in the way of any enjoyment, I was instead left feeling unfilled. That’s when my long-time sponsor Honey Play Box stepped in, who recently released a sex toy app of their own, complete with long-distance control. Debuting alongside it are six compatible toys, including an upgraded thrusting version of the popular Joi that I reviewed a few months ago, however I only had eyes for the OLY, a wearable panty vibrator that I knew would perfectly fill the hole that the Ditto+ had left… or, should I say, the other hole!
Review: YoYoLemon Rabbit
Thrusting sex toys are experiencing a true renaissance right now, with both stretch- and accordion-styles currently being more popular than ever. In fact, the only style I haven’t reviewed this year, despite holding a special place in my heart as the method many of my early thruster toys used, is magnetic. So when YoYoLemon suggested a review of their magnetic thruster, the Rabbit, I was immediately on board. Of course, as you might have guessed from the name, this isn’t just a thruster, but a rabbit vibrator in its own right, with an external arm and dual motors. Plus, that’s not all, with YoYoLemon continuing the 4-in-1 trend that’s also so hot right now, meaning that just like many of my other recent reviews, this toy has the ability to heat up prior to use!
