JimmyJane Focus Sonic Vibrator Review

Even though I’ve been reviewing sex toys in some capacity or another since 2014, my experience with JimmyJane products remains limited and largely negative. On the face of it, their stuff looks classy, well designed, and well deserving of its high-end status. But when it comes down to it, the power payoff just isn’t worth the financial outlay. For this reason, I’ve actively avoided the entire brand. Then I spotted the JimmyJane Focus Sonic Vibrator – their answer to the Zumio – and decided it was time to give them another chance.

It wasn’t because I love the near laser accurate stimulation offered by this type of toy because, on the whole, I don’t. I discovered with the Zumio that there is such a thing as too pinpoint when it comes to my clitoris. I chose to check out the JimmyJane Focus because it had something the Zumio didn’t, something I’ve thought the latter might benefit from. Sleeves. Three silicone attachments that slip over the stimulating tip to change the type of stimulation on offer. Continue reading “JimmyJane Focus Sonic Vibrator Review” →

Cal Exotics Impulse Intimate E-Stimulator Review

When I saw this Cal Exotics Impulse Intimate E-Stimulator Kegel Exerciser up for review at SheVibe I was super excited, but not because I expected it to wow me. Nope, I’ll hold my hands up and admit that I picked it because I was certain that it would be crappy.

See, I really do love me some e-stim, but when it comes to zapping my vagina it’s like using shock paddles on a lump of wood. I’ve had myself hooked up to proper e-stim units with massive torpedo insertables whose entire surfaces were conductive, and I’ve felt nothing. One e-stim dildo did work for me, but that’s about it I think. So I really didn’t think that this little egg thingy with its two tiny conductive slivers – which has to share power with vibrations – could give me even the slightest of tingles.

Lovehoney Desire Love Egg Review

As I’ve probably said in the past, Desire is Lovehoney’s luxury brand. It’s very LELO-esque, which stands to reason given that someone from LELO had a hand in their design. There’s a bit of everything available, from clit vibes to cock rings to wands, all of them rechargeable. The most recent piece I got my paws on is the Lovehoney Desire Love Egg with Remote Control.

I will admit that in picking this piece for review, I was taking an intentional gamble. See, if there’s one other type of sex toy that I sometimes struggle to enjoy it’s the love egg. I’ve had successes, sure, but the majority I’ve tried have been rubbish. Reason being, I just can’t feel them inside of me, and if I can the sensation is so weak as to be pointless. I had high hopes for the Lovehoney Desire Love Egg, though. But was I just letting myself be blinded because it’s from a brand I like? Continue reading “Lovehoney Desire Love Egg Review” →

Blush Novelties Hop Trix Rabbit Review

When I checked out my review pile to see what I had going on, I spied something that made my wee heart sink. It was like, DA-DA-DAAAAA! A bloody rabbit. Honestly, after my last one, I decided that I’m so not here for rabbit vibes. Fighting to ensure that all my hotspots get the attention they deserve got a bit irritating. Why do it to myself when there’s a shit ton of sex toys out there that wanna rock my world. But, there the Blush Novelties Hop Trix Rabbit was, sat all rabbity and waiting for me to notice it, so out it came.

The reason it sat there, being ignored, for several ages of men is all down to its size. Every time it caught my eye I thought, what a teeny, tiny, little bunny. The thing is, it’s actually a standard length both overall (7”) and insertable (4”). The reason I perceived it as being over small is its skinniness. At its widest point, the shaft is just 3.75”, at its thinnest, it’s 3”. That makes the external arm, which is 3,25”, thicker than the majority of the shaft.

LELO Alia External Massager Review

If you ask anyone who is into sex toys to name a luxury brand, there’s a good chance they’ll say LELO. While they may have fallen out of favour in recent years, their products remain global best sellers. Personally, I’m a fan. I’ve enjoyed most of the products of theirs that have come my way, and I really hoped that my latest one, sent to me by my awesome sponsor Crimson Princess, would be another hit. Check out my thoughts on the LELO Insignia Alia to see how that went.

One thing I don’t think I’ll ever be able to call fault with when it comes to LELO is their presentation. Their packaging is sleek, attractive, and useable. They provide everything you need to get started: lube sachet, a plugged pin charger that’s universal to all of their toys, and a storage bag. Oh, and a little code bearing card that lets you register your product and activate the 12-month warranty, 10-year quality guarantee. Continue reading “LELO Alia External Massager Review” →

NU-Sensuelle Curve G-Spot Vibrator Review

It’s been far too long since I rummaged in my box of NU-Sensuelle goodies from Latex Leather & Lace, folks. I’ve been spoilt for choice, with all manner of shapes and sizes and types to choose from. So instead of making a considered selection like an adult would, I’ve slipped my hand in lucky dip style to choose which one to review next. And the winner is the NU-Sensuelle Curve G-Spot Vibrator.

As I’ve said in previous NU-Sensuelle reviews, I’m rather taken with this brand. Each product of theirs I’ve tried so far has impressed me with their decent vibes. I like that they’re body safe, I like that they’re rechargeable, this one in a cute little dock. One thing that strikes me as odd, though, is that they’re not even splash-proof. These days, water resistance should be a standard feature in all sex toys, considering how essential thorough cleaning is. Not to mention the fact that many vibrators are used on a body part that goes through various stages of being wet. Do not get the base (where the magnetic charging pins are) wet is just…yeah.

Lovehoney Desire Studded Clitoral Vibrator Review

Way back in the summer of 2014, I wrote my first ever sex toy review for Lovehoney. My reviewing skills sucked hard, but I stuck at it and quickly realised that I loved trying new things and writing about my experiences. Fast forward to winter 2019 and I’m still reviewing for Lovehoney, but instead of doing it on their site I’m doing it on mine. Next week I’ll be writing about a love egg from one of their luxury lines, but this week it’s all about the Lovehoney Desire Studded Clitoral Vibrator.

This piece is a revamped version of a Desire classic, and my thoughts on the original can be found here. Spoiler alert, it ain’t pretty. I couldn’t get the satisfaction I needed from the OG Desire Clit Vibe. It left me wanting and I didn’t rate it highly at all. Don’t let that put you off reading this review, though, cos things have changed. And I don’t just mean with the toy. Continue reading “Lovehoney Desire Studded Clitoral Vibrator Review” →

You2Toys Bendy Vibrators Review

A couple of months ago, Orion Versand launched a new line of vibrators under their well-known You2Toys brand. Comprising of five black silicone vibrators, all of them different in shape, the You2Toys Bendy Vibrators range looks slick and pretty. I was given the opportunity to pick two to review. While the Wavy, Tulip, and Ripple Clit shapes are all appealing to the eye, I plumped for the standard Ripple and the Flower in the end.

I was excited for these products to arrive. Big brands like We-Vibe and Womanizer are always exciting to try, but I usually know going in that I’m gonna like what I find. That’s why I was so shocked when this piece did little more than infuriate me. But brands like You2Toys are so vast and offer so many different kinds of products, I never know how it’s gonna go. But so far, I’ve been mostly impressed. Continue reading “You2Toys Bendy Vibrators Review” →

Santa Monica Starlet Pulsating Rabbit Review

It’s time for me to be honest with myself, folks. I’ve been in denial for years, but it’s time for me to accept that I am never gonna find my perfect rabbit vibe cos it just (probably) doesn’t exist. I’ve come close a couple of times, but to me, the holy grail of rabbits would be one that I can use as a standalone toy without intervention from my fingers or too much strain on my wrists. When I saw its special feature, I really did think the Santa Monica Starlet by California Exotics might be in with a chance. But after the lovely SheVibe sent it to me for review, I quickly learnt that I was wrong.

On the face of it, it’s a really lovely little vibe. It has all the basic features that I expect to see in vibrators of any price point. It’s USB rechargeable, waterproof, and its outer layer of smooth, silky silicone makes it body safe. Continue reading “Santa Monica Starlet Pulsating Rabbit Review” →

Kama Sutra Rhythm Natya Review

As much as I love my tried and true favourite brands, I’m always extra excited when I get to review a product from a brand that’s completely new to me. See, if I’m trying something from, say, Fun Factory, I know that there’s a 99% chance that I’m gonna love it. But if it’s something completely new, like the rather lovely looking Kama Sutra Rhythm Natya, I go in with no expectations whatsoever. And to a time served sex toy reviewer, that’s a thrilling feeling.

Okay, I know that some folks see packaging as little more than the stuff that protected their goods in the post, but I’m one of those people who is easily dazzled by pretty things. I loathe nasty clamshell cases and flimsy, titty covered cardboard boxes that tear when I try to open them. What I like is tasteful, informative (throwaway) sleeves that clearly show me what I’m getting. And I like hard, sturdy, boxes that I can store my toys in. Basically, I like to be impressed at first sight, and that’s exactly what happened with the Kama Sutra Rhythm Natya. Continue reading “Kama Sutra Rhythm Natya Review” →
