Those who have read my sex toy reviews for a long time will know that I love a curvy dildo. That’s why, in my latest batch of review products from Mr Hankey’s Toys, I requested… More

[Toy Review] Mr Hankey’s Dildos & Dragons
I sometimes feel like I am the only polyamorous person on the planet who doesn’t play Dungeons & Dragons. (I’m also ambivalent towards most board games. I know, I know, just revoke my polyamory card now!) Even so, given the reputation my community has for being utter nerds, how could I resist a DnD-themed fantasy sex toy? Mr Hankey’s Toys kindly sent me their Dildos & Dragons dildo to try out.
Dungeons & Dragons: A DnD-Themed Adult Toy
The Dildos & Dragons dildo by Mr Hankey’s is a fantasy sex toy made, like all Mr Hankey’s toys, from 100% quality and body-safe silicone. It features a large base and a gently curved shaft, with a pronounced head and some superbly intricate dragon scale detailing.
This dildo comes in four sizes, ranging from Small/Med (10.25″ in overall length, 2.38″ in diameter at the widest point) up to XXXL (15.6″ in overall length, 3.74″ in diameter at the widest point.) The Dildos & Dragons dildo is available in a choice of 24 colours, with the option to add a metallic effect. You can also choose from four firmness levels and add a vac-u-lock hole (for use with some fucking machines) if you wish. One reviewer noted in their post that this toy worked well with their mini sex machine.
I requested the small/med size, medium-firm, in metallic blood red. It is, as I’ve come to expect from Mr Hankey’s toys, far from anything I would personally define as “small.”
Personally, I wish I’d opted for a brighter colour. The dark reddish-brown is striking, and felt thematically appropriate for this toy, but on reflection it isn’t really my style. Fortunately, you can get your dildo in any colour you want so you can customise it in whatever way feels right for you. Hot pink dragon? Bright orange dragon? Sure, why not?
Whatever colour you go for, I recommend adding the metallic effect. It gives the toy a gorgeous shimmer under the light. It adds nothing but aesthetic value, but aesthetics matter when it comes to fantasy sex toy choices.
Dildos & Dragons Fantasy Sex Toy: What I Liked
Every Mr Hankey’s fantasy dildo I’ve tried so far has blown me away with its sheer level of and attention to detail. The Dildos & Dragons is no exception. This dragon-themed dildo is simply gorgeous. From the feathering detail towards the base to the ridges up the side and the small scales decorating the head, every inch of this toy has been thoughtfully and intricately crafted.
If you want an immersive fantasy experience with your toys, Mr Hankey’s is consistently hard to beat.
The other thing that really drew me to the Dildos & Dragons dildo was its shape. The curve makes it ideal for targeting the G-spot (or prostate, if you prefer.) And, since the curve is primarily located towards the top of the shaft, you don’t need to insert the entire toy to enjoy it. Want to play with just the first few inches? Chances are, you’ll still be able to hit the good spots with this toy.
The head on this toy is pretty pronounced. If you enjoy the feeling of having the sensitive opening of your vagina or anus stimulated, you’ll likely enjoy the “pop” sensation this head gives you when you thrust the Dildos & Dragons dildo in and out. It also provides additional pressure against the G-spot or prostate, which many people find very pleasurable.
Finally, let’s talk about that texturing. It’s intense, but not overly so. Much of the detailing is fairly “flat” (i.e. there aren’t large bumps or ridges sticking out,) making it definitely noticeable in use without being so much that it becomes uncomfortable. The texturing is most noticeable around that aforementioned head ridge.
Dildos & Dragons Fantasy Sex Toy: Things to Be Aware Of
I can’t really find anything to “dislike” about this toy. Even though mythical creatures aren’t my kink, I can appreciate the Dildos & Dragons dildo as both a beautifully made piece of art and a fantastically designed sex toy from a sensation perspective.
Just a couple of things to be aware of to help you make the right fantasy sex toy buying decision for you:
- There really is no “small” here. This toy’s size options range from “pretty large” to “holy fucking shit, nope.” Take note of the dimensions before you buy, because if you’re used to more standard dildos (or, like, regular human penises) you might be surprised at how eye-wateringly huge these things are. With that said, as I mentioned above, the Dildos & Dragons design lends itself to just using the first few inches if you prefer. And, despite its overall large size, the Dildos & Dragons dildo has a relatively small head diameter compared to many other Mr Hankey’s toys.
- Your firmness choice can really make or break your experience. I went with “medium firm,” which seems about right for this toy. I think “extra firm” might make the texturing too intense, while one of the softer levels might not give enough internal pressure. Obviously it’s all down to your preferences. In general, though, firmer silicone = a more intense experience.
- The silicone is pretty matte. You’ll definitely need a lot of lubrication with this one. It also picks up a lot of lint and dust in storage, so always give it a quick wash before use.
Verdict: The Perfect Toy for Adult Dungeons & Dragons Fans
If you are (or your partner is) a DnD nerd, or if you’ve ever fantasised about fucking a mythical creature, you’ll probably love the Dildos & Dragons dildo. This is a beautifully crafted and well-designed fantasy sex toy that offers aesthetic appeal and functionality in equal measure.
The Dildos & Dragons dildo retails for prices starting from $130.95 for the smallest size in any standard colour. Larger sizes and various customisations increase the price.

[Toy Review] Funzze Pink O Clitoral Sucker
These days, I go into every clit sucker review I write preparing to be surprised. For every high-end toy in this category I’ve loved, there’s also at least one disappointing flop and at least one cheap clit sucker that gets the job done surprisingly well. The Funzze Pink O? That turned out to be one of the latter.
Funzze Pink O: Details
The Funzze Pink O clit sucker is the latest toy Funzze have kindly sent me to review. I wasn’t fully prepared for how small this toy would be! It arrived in a tiny box, and the toy measures just over 3.5″ in total length and weighs just 73g. As I said: tiny! This makes it a travel-friendly option I can throw in my bag when I visit my long-distance love.
Like the many other toys in this category, the Funzze Pink O has a nozzle that sits over the clitoris and stimulates it indirectly via air pulses. Some retailers still insist on claiming that this sensation feels like receiving cunnilingus. It doesn’t. Let’s put that myth to bed. I’m pleased to see Funzze hasn’t leaned too deeply into this misconception.
The Pink O Clitoral Sucker is made of pink body-safe silicone and white ABS plastic. It is rechargeable (you get about an hour of runtime for an hour charge) with a USB cable included. Confusingly, the Funzze website describes this toy as suitable for “pleasure in the shower, bathtub, or pool,” but then says it is only splashproof. The included instruction booklet also cautions against keeping it in water for long. I recommend assuming it’s only splashproof rather than fully waterproof, and not using it in the bath or submerging it in water.
The Pink O clit sucker is a cheap option for those on a budget, retailing for just $33.99. This also makes it a good entry-level option if you’re trying clitoral suckers for the first time… though, as we’ll see, this little beauty is so good you may not feel the need to upgrade to a pricier model!
Funzze Pink O Clit Sucker Review: What I Liked
The shape and size of this toy endeared me to it straight away. It fits comfortably in my hand, it’s light enough to hold for an extended session, and the slight curve makes it easy to angle it against my vulva without needing to curl my hand or arm into uncomfortable positions. The relatively large nozzle diameter compared to other toys in this category (around 0.5″) and wide, flat nozzle rim provides a consistent and comfortable seal around my clit.
The Funzze Pink O has 8 settings: 2 constant speeds and 6 patterns. Its single button interface is straightforward, and the relatively large silicone button set into the ABS plastic body makes it easy to locate by touch alone.
Also, the button is shaped like a little heart. So that’s cute!
Now the most important question for any clit sucker review, did it get me off? The answer for this one is a resounding yes. On its second constant speed, this toy can make me come reliably. That’s pretty rare for a toy at this price-point!
In terms of sensation, the suction is pretty smooth. It’s harder to quantify clitoral suction toys as “buzzy” or “rumbly” the way I normally would with vibrators, but I can best describe the quality of this toy’s suction as “deep.” It feels like it’s really getting into the nerve-endings of both my internal and external clit, not just tickling the surface. It also doesn’t have any unpleasant numbing or desensitising effects.
Funzze Pink O Clit Sucker Review: What I Didn’t Like
I would have preferred more constant suction speeds and fewer patterns, personally. Anecdotally, as someone who’s been in this industry for a long time and spoken to hundreds of people about their sex toy preferences, almost no-one actually likes patterns. I certainly don’t. However, more constant speeds would allow for a more gradual warm-up to the higher intensities.
I also would have preferred dual-directional controls. The simple interface is nice, but having to scroll through all those patterns to switch from the higher constant speed to the lower is pretty annoying.
I wouldn’t really describe the Funzze Pink O as quiet. It also doesn’t get quieter when it’s against my body, unlike some clitoral suction toys. Something to be aware of if discretion is important to you.
Verdict: A Cheap Yet Effective Clit Sucker That Gets the Job Done
The Funzze Pink O clitoral sucker is a surprising gem and an absolute bargain. Its thoughtful ergonomic body, excellent nozzle design, and good power level elevate this one beyond its budget-friendly price point. If you’re looking for an entry-level clitoral suction toy, you could do much worse than this one. The next iteration just needs a few more constant speeds and fewer patterns!

If You Related to Francesca Bridgerton’s Orgasm Difficulties, You’re Not Alone
Season 4 of Netflix’s Bridgerton, based on the book series of the same name by Julia Quinn, focuses primarily on the love story between Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek. However, the subplot follows Francesca Bridgerton and her new husband, John Stirling, as they navigate sexual challenges in their marriage. Specifically, Francesca experiences orgasm difficulties: she’s unable to climax and she never has.
Fair warning: this post contains spoilers for Bridgerton, including the recently-dropped first half of Season 4.
Francesca, who has been married and trying for a baby for several months, doesn’t even know what an orgasm (or “pinnacle,” as they euphemistically call it) is. I found this storyline refreshing in a series that has given us a lot of “zero-to-fucking-in-ten-seconds” and “all simultaneous orgasms from penetration all the time” sex scenes.
People who have never experienced challenges with pleasure or been unable to climax might write this off as a product of the times. But if, in relatively sexually liberated 2026, you related to Francesca’s difficulties with orgasm? You’re not alone.
What Francesca’s Orgasm Difficulties Says About Sex Education
A recurring theme in the Bridgerton universe is women entering married life without a single clue about sex or their bodies. From Simon lying to Daphne about his “inability” to have children (when he’s actually just using the notoriously-unreliable pull-out method) to Eloise and Penelope wondering how an unmarried woman could become pregnant so that they can prevent it from happening to them, the naivety of these characters may be exaggerated for television but points to something real: in many times and places throughout history, a lack of basic knowledge about sex and their bodies helped to keep women in a place of powerlessness.
Things are no longer so bleak for young women, of course, and not just because our families aren’t generally marrying us off when we’re barely out of our teens. Most of us receive at least some education about the physical mechanics of sex, however incomplete and heteronormative that education may be. If all else fails, we can turn to the internet with questions like “how does a lady come to be with child?” (Love you Eloise.) But in a different way, misinformation and a lack of comprehensive sex education is still harming people of all genders.
How much time did your sex education curriculum dedicate to pleasure? If it was anything like mine, very little if any at all. In my school, the boys learned about female masturbation but the girls didn’t. Make that make sense. (Hint: it’s misogyny.) The messaging the girls received? That boys would pressure us for sex and it was our job to say no. That sex meant unwanted pregnancies and STIs, not pleasure. It wasn’t quite “don’t have sex, because you will get pregnant… and die,” but it wasn’t far off.
Mention of the clitoris? Completely absent. I learned of its existence from a slightly older friend who talked very openly about her masturbation habits. I have to assume no-one taught us about women’s pleasure for one of two reasons: an assumption it wasn’t important, or a fear that it would make us want to have sex, undermining the “don’t do it” messaging.
But when we don’t learn about pleasure, we don’t know how to get it. More importantly, we don’t internalise the message that we deserve it. This insidious messaging leads people, and especially people with vulvas, to endure unsatisfying sex, feel obligated to fake orgasms, and minimise pain during sex.
Orgasm Difficulties Are Super Common
Very few people will come every time they have sex. Not being able to get there occasionally is not, generally, a cause for concern. But anorgasmia, or the persistent inability to reach orgasm even with extensive sexual stimulation, is far more common than you might think.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, up to 15% of cis women report never having had an orgasm (primary anorgasmia) and far more struggle with orgasm at least some of the time. The numbers for cis men are lower, with around 10% reporting orgasm difficulties according to San Diego Sexual Medicine. One study suggested that around 1.5 men in 1000 suffers from primary anorgasmia.
For trans women and trans men, rates of orgasm difficulties were 29% and 15% respectively according to one study. I haven’t been able to find any reliable statistics on non-binary people specifically.
What Causes Anorgasmia or Struggles with Orgasm?
The short and perhaps unhelpful answer is “it depends.” In no particular order, some of the possible causes can include:
- Insufficient stimulation or the wrong kind of stimulation
- Many medications including SSRI antidepressants and blood pressure medications
- Hormonal changes (for example, due to menopause, pregnancy, or breastfeeding)
- Physical health conditions (including both acute and chronic illness)
- Pain during sex (which itself has many potential causes)
- Mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and stress
- Relationship issues such as conflict or lack of trust
- A history of sexual abuse or assault
- A strict, restrictive upbringing
- Poor self-esteem or body image
- Substance use
- Fatigue
- Ironically, too much pressure to get there (either from yourself or your partner)
What’s Wrong with Me If I’m Unable to Climax!?
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
One of the most touching scenes in Bridgerton Season 4 is when Francesca confides in John that not only did she just fake an orgasm, but she’s never had one. My heart broke for her when she blamed her lack of orgasm for their fertility struggles, saying “forgive me, I do not know what is wrong with me.” Sweet and supportive man that he is, he reassures her that there’s nothing wrong with her and that she, and their relationship, are already just right.
So in case you need to hear the same, I’ll say it again. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken. You’re just struggling with something that is actually incredibly common.
Do Orgasm Difficulties Mean There’s Something Wrong with My Relationship?
Not necessarily!
Many people believe that sexual problems in a relationship mean that there’s something inherently wrong with the relationship itself. But this often isn’t the case. As we established already, anorgasmia and orgasm difficulties can happen for all kinds of reasons. Relationship difficulties are one possible cause, and something you might want to examine if your orgasm problems started during a challenging time for your relationship. But there isn’t necessarily a correlation and even if you determine that there is, it doesn’t necessarily mean your relationship is doomed.
If I’m Unable to Climax, Does It Mean I Don’t Really Fancy My Partner?
Again, no, not necessarily.
In Bridgerton, Francesca has been set up as a queer character who has feelings for her husband’s cousin, Michaela (this change was made for the TV series; in the original book, Michaela was Michael.) However, this doesn’t necessarily mean she doesn’t feel love or attraction for her husband. She could very well be somewhere under the bisexual or pansexual umbrella. In fact, the showrunners have explicitly stated that viewers shouldn’t interpret Francesca’s orgasm difficulties as related to her sexuality.
Of course, problems with sex and orgasm do lead some people to realise they’re not attracted to their partner. This could be because their sexuality is different than they assumed, or because that particular relationship has run its course. But being unable to climax is really common even amongst people who are wildly physically and sexually attracted to their partners. In and of themselves, orgasm difficulties don’t say anything about your attraction to your partner.
So What Now?
If Francesca’s story struck a chord with you… me too. I’ve had plenty of orgasm difficulties throughout my sexual history, from stress-induced loss of desire to pressure-induced faking it to medication-induced anorgasmia.
Bridgerton is not a series that aims for realism. At its heart, it is pseudo-Regency softcore smut, and that’s fine. None of us are watching it for a history lesson. But truth is often wrapped in fiction. And Francesca’s storyline this season highlighted something many of us will relate to.
I’m going to write another post soon about practical strategies for dealing with orgasm difficulties. This one, though, is just to reassure you that if you’re unable to climax (sometimes or always), you’re not alone. You’re not broken. And you’re just right, just as you are.
[Toy Review] VVD RiderGo
Remember the VVD Rider Desire, a ride-on saddle-style sex machine I reviewed last summer? Well, VVD has recently released a new attachment toy to go with the Rider Desire and kindly sent me one to test and review. However, the RiderGo is no ordinary sex machine attachment. Its clever two-part magnetic design makes it both an attachment and a standalone hand-held sex toy.
What is the VVD RiderGo Rider Desire Add-On and How Does This Toy Work?
The RiderGo looks, at first glance, like a straightforward rabbit vibrator. However, it’s actually a clever two-in-one product that functions both as a hand-held standalone rabbit vibe and an extra attachment for VVD’s Rider Desire ride-on sex machine.
A strong magnetic mechanism connects the insertable machine attachment to a handle and clitoral stimulator that allow you to use it as a rabbit vibe. It’s also compatible with the original attachments that came with the Rider Desire, by the way. Simply swap them out to mix and match your experience.
The insertable section makes a back-and-forth oscillating “come hither” motion (hence this toy being dubbed a “finger vibrator”) as well as vibrating.
The VVD RiderGo offers around 4.5″ of insertable length and measures approximately 1.3″ in diameter. It is 8.1″ in total length and weighs in at 230g. Made of body-safe pink silicone, this toy is IPX7 waterproof (i.e. submersible) and USB rechargeable.
VVD RiderGo Rabbit Toy and Sex Machine Attachment: Pros
I have to say, I think this design is pretty cool. I love the versatility offered by the combo of the Rider Desire and the RiderGo, since you can combine the two bases and three attachments in numerous different ways. The clitoral stimulator also still works when the insertable head is detached, and the two motors have independent controls so you can use one without the other if you prefer.
The G-spot stimulation provided by the come hither motion is truly excellent. It’s like being fingered, only faster (unless you have superhuman manual dexterity, anyway.) The short strokes are perfect for people who like intense and repetitive G-spot pressure but not a lot of hard “pounding.” While some reviewers have noted that they didn’t find the 15° curve intense enough, it was just about perfect for my body’s preferences.
I like the flexible clitoral stimulator, which overall maintains pretty good contact with my clit during use. This is helped by the fact that I don’t have to thrust the toy in and out, since the G-spot stimulator mimics that motion by itself. The little “tongue” flap that protrudes from the top of the clitoral stimulator is a little too light and tickly to be truly satisfying, but it does offer an interesting tease or warm-up.
While the relatively small and slimline size of this toy might make it “not enough” for some people who prefer larger insertables, it was pretty ideal for me. I like that I can dive straight into using it without the warmup needed to insert a larger toy.
I like the loop handle, which makes the toy easy and comfortable to hold, and the button placement is intuitive. The controls themselves are straightforward and the buttons are easy to press. There’s an on/off button, a button to control the insertable portion, and a button to control the clitoral stimulator.
Also, VVD’s slogan for this toy—”soft outside, wild within”—is a mood and I want it on a t-shirt.
Cons
As we’ve seen, there’s a lot to like about the VVD RiderGo. However, there are also a few downsides you’ll want to be aware of:
- The battery life isn’t great, with a 1.5 hour charge giving just 45 minutes of runtime.
- No dual-directional speed controls. This isn’t too egregious given there are only 6 stroking speeds and 7 vibration settings to choose from, but it’s still pretty annoying when you want to go back a step.
- It makes the same high-pitched mechanical squeaking noise as virtually every other toy in this category. I can’t really fault VVD for this, since I don’t think any manufacturer has yet cracked this problem, but it definitely affects the user experience.
- As is so often the problem with toys of this type, the vibrations are super buzzy and not particularly strong. Does it feel good? Yes, for a bit. Can it get me off before my clit gets numbed out? Sadly, not so far.
How Use the VVD RiderGo Detachable Toy With the Rider Desire Sex Saddle
Using the RiderGo with your Rider Desire saddle is super easy. Simply detach the RiderGo head from its base with a gentle pull, and slot it into the attachment space on the Rider Desire using the slit in the plastic as a guide. You’ll feel the magnets click it into place. Once in, it’s very secure and shouldn’t go anywhere even if you ride it pretty vigorously. (That said, just to be on the safe side, I wouldn’t recommend using this one anally.)
Do I Need to Own the Rider Desire to Use the RiderGo?
No. The RiderGo is fully functional on its own as a rabbit vibrator. Pairing it with the Rider Desire sex saddle isn’t necessary, but offers a few fun additional ways to use it. Let’s finish by looking at some of the possibilities…
Try This: Stimulate Your Clit While You Ride
Since the RiderGo clitoral stimulator still works when the insertable arm is detached, you (or your partner) can use it manually on your clit while you straddle the Rider Desire saddle.
Try This: Play a Sexy Guessing Game
Ask your partner to blindfold you and choose an attachment for the RiderGo or Rider Desire, then use it on you. Your job is to correctly identify which one they’ve chosen. What do you get if you win? Well, that’s for you two to negotiate.
RiderGo Rabbit Toy and Sex Machine Attachment: Verdict
Overall, the VVD RiderGo is a decent standalone toy as long as you don’t need intense or rumbly clitoral stimulation to get off. Its finger-like motion is excellent. However, it is the innovative interchangeable design and compatibility with the Rider Desire that really elevates this one for me. As a companion product to the existing machine, it’s excellent.
The RiderGo retails for $79. My readers can enjoy a 12% discount on the VVD Rider Desire, RiderGo, or both with code “Coffee”.
Thanks to Viva Desire (VVD), an all-woman team with decades of combined experience in the pleasure products industry, for sending me this toy and sponsoring this post. All views and writing are, as always, mine.
[Kink Product Review] BDSM Zapper 2.0 Electro Wand
I’ve been testing sex toys and kink gear for a living for over nine years (!) at this point. That means I’ve tried a lot of stuff, from the run-of-the-mill to the “wait, what?” Even so, I still get excited when I have a chance to try something that’s actually new to me. Kink Store, the retail arm of the company that owns the famous Kink.com, sent me their BDSM Zapper 2.0 electro wand to try out.
What is a Zapper?
It’s a small, handheld device with a rubberised handle, a long plastic shaft, and two little metal prongs poking out of the end. When you hold down the button and tap the tip against the skin, it releases static electricity with a loud “ZAP” sound (hence the name.) First popularised by its use in many of Kink’s famous BDSM films, the Zapper has had a complete redesign and the result is this Zapper 2.0.
Unlike other electroplay toys such as violet/neon wands and E-stim products, the Zapper delivers all its power in a single, sharp sting. It has three settings to choose from: 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5kV. Since you need to press the button and wait for the red light before using it, there’s no danger of it discharging when you don’t want it to.
The Zapper 2.0 electro wand requires 2 AA batteries. Each set of batteries is good for around 300 zaps.
Are Electro Wands Like the BDSM Zapper 2.0 Safe?
Toys like this are designed with low amperage (current) to give a superficial shock only. No kink activity (or sexual activity) is 100% safe, and all BDSM carries some level of risk. With that said, many of the risks of using an electro wand toy like the Zapper 2.0 can be mitigated if you follow some basic safety protocols and take some precautions.
Safety Precautions
First, never use the Zapper on anyone who has a heart condition, is fitted with a pacemaker or similar internal medical device, or is pregnant. If you have underlying health conditions and you’re not sure how safe using the Zapper is for you, talk to your healthcare professional first.
Never use the Zapper internally, never use it on or near the face or head, and don’t zap the same spot multiple times. Fleshy, below-the-waist areas such as the butt and thighs are the lowest risk. It’s also not waterproof, so keep your Zapper far away from water and never use it in damp environments or on wet skin. We all know water and electricity don’t mix, don’t we?
Inspect your electro wand for damage before use, communicate with your partner, and don’t take unnecessary risks. Most importantly, do your own risk assessment and understand your and your partner’s body and health before you attempt any BDSM activity, including using the Zapper.
What Does It Feel Like?
Like getting a pretty intense static shock.
It makes you jump and it definitely stings, but it’s nowhere near as painful as I imagined it would be based on the sound this thing makes. In my experience, though, the pain disappeared almost instantly. It was a split second of very intense sensation.
I think this is one of those sensations people will experience very differently. Based on other reviews, some find it extremely intense, while I found it middling (mostly it just made me giggle!) We’re all different. Aren’t bodies cool?
Weirdly, my partner and I both agreed that the BDSM Zapper’s highest setting, though the loudest, was also the least physically intense. The middle setting was the most physically intense (i.e. painful.) Your mileage may vary and I always suggest starting on the bottom setting and working up if you want to.
I think the main reason a lot of kinksters like Zappers and electro wands is because they play on a sense of fear. First, because we are all somewhat conditioned to see electricity as dangerous (which it often is!) Second, because the anticipation of being zapped is “worse” than the actual feeling for a lot of people. And third, because yes, it’s really loud. Even when I know it’s coming, it makes me jump.
BDSM Zapper 2.0 Electro Wand: Verdict
I didn’t find the Zapper 2.0 particularly erotic in and of itself. Electro-play is an interesting sensation to me, but not one that really turns me on. This isn’t really a criticism, because kink is often about “let’s explore this weird sensation” for me and doesn’t necessarily need to involve my genitals every time. However, I can definitely see potential for using the Zapper in scenes in ways that I would probably find sexy.
If you enjoy sharp, stingy pain, electro play turns you on, or you like playing with fear and anticipation, the Zapper could be a fun addition to your toybag. It retails for $49.99. At the time of writing, you can also get a free Zapper if you spend $149+ on Kink Store and enter code FREE-Z150P at checkout.

[Toy Review] Lovense Lush 4
One of my most controversial sex toy opinions ever? That the Lovense Lush (specifically the Lush 2) was utterly mediocre. Its vibrations were weak and its shape failed to stimulate my G-spot. However, past experience has taught me that a previous iteration of a toy being bad doesn’t necessarily mean the new version will be bad (the Queen Bee to Pulse Queen glow-up has entered the chat.) With that in mind, I went into this Lovense Lush 4 review with an open mind, hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
At the time of writing this review, the Lovense Lush 4 has 4.7 stars out of 5 on Lovense’s on-site review system and 4 out of 5 on Lovehoney. So the general consensus is that this thing is pretty good. Let’s find out if I agreed.
What is the Lovense Lush 4?
The Lovense Lush 4 is the latest iteration in Lovense’s “Lush” line of egg-shaped, insertable vibrators. It has just under 4″ of insertable length and a long tail, the end of which sits against the clitoris when the toy is inserted (allegedly. More on that in a minute.) Its diameter is 1.46″ at the widest point.
Made of hot pink silicone, the Lush 4 is designed to provide hands-free internal stimulation. Like previous versions of this product, it is app-controllable via Bluetooth. It is also IPX7 waterproof, i.e. submersible, and USB rechargeable. Strangely, the Lovense website claims that the Lush 4 comes with a storage pouch, but mine didn’t (nor did there seem to be space for one in the box.)
App-controlled products tend to be popular with people in long-distance relationships due to their ability to be controlled from anywhere in the world with an internet connection, facilitating long-distance and even inter-continental sex. However, Lovense products are unique in that they are designed with one particular group of users in mind: online sex workers such as cam models. Lovense toys, including the Lush 4, integrate with many online camming platforms and allows workers to hand over control to viewers or even set the toy to respond to tips from fans.
What’s New?
Fans of previous Lovense Lush products will probably be wondering what’s new about this version and whether it’s worth upgrading. Here’s what’s new with the Lovense Lush 4 compared to the 3 and earlier versions:
- Improved Bluetooth connectivity.
- A refined neck design, intended to be more comfortable and stay in place more effectively.
- Rapid charging, with 5 minutes charging giving you an hour of use.
- Extended battery life, with around 350 minutes (about 6 hours) of runtime for a 45 minute charge.
- More powerful than the Lush 1 & 2, the 3 and 4 use the same 7000 RPM motor.
- The quietest Lush yet, with maximum volume of 36dB (compared to 45.5dB and 38dB for previous models.)
- A slightly redesigned and wider end to the external arm, possibly designed to stimulate more of the clit.
- A decorative electroplated panel on the back of the external piece. This has optional and customizable LED lights that change depending on which mode you’re using. Unnecessary, but pretty.
Lovense Lush 4 Review: Pros
Outside of its specific applications designed for camming, the biggest selling point of the Lush 4 is the Lovense app and the extra functionalities it offers. The app connectivity is fast and reliable, and offers an array of features such as:
- Setting the vibration level more precisely
- Handing over control to a partner
- Syncing the toy to music
- Syncing with content such as videos
- Syncing your toy with a partner’s toy so you both feel the same vibrations
- Text, voice, or video chat with a partner
- Play group games with other users online
However, despite these fun features, I’m struggling to recommend the Lush 4 on the basis of its app for reasons we’ll discuss in a minute.
Compared to the Lush 2, the Lush 4’s motor is excellent. It’s both stronger and rumblier. It might not be the toy’s intended purpose, but pressing it against my clit can get me off relatively easily. And while we’re on that subject, the slight bulge on the underside of the bulb is dreamy for clitoral stimulation.
Downsides, Issues, and Things to Be Aware Of
First, and this is a huge issue, Lovense has come under fire for some pretty major security breaches in the last year. Experts claim they exposed users’ email addresses in the supposedly-anonymous app. Though the company claims to have patched this issue, this is the tip of a very large privacy iceberg when it comes to app-controlled sex toys in general. I am far from a cybersecurity expert, but I strongly advise caution with sex toy apps. If you’re going to use them, you can reduce your risk with simple steps like using a throwaway email address not connected to your real identity.
If you decide to proceed using the app, its functionality is a double-edged sword. The options it offers are numerous and varied, turning this into an incredibly versatile toy and opening up various options for online and long-distance play. However, for a toy that retails for £219 at full price, the manual mode options are poor. It has a one-button interface located on the tail, with which you can scroll through three speeds and four patterns. And… that’s it.
An app-controlled toy is never going to be as fully featured in manual mode. But at the very least I’d have liked a few more speed options and dual-directional controls.
Used in its intended form, the Lush 4 offers almost nothing in the way of clitoral stimulation. When I have the toy inserted, the external portion curves away from my vulva and the tail tip ends somewhere around my pubic bone. It certainly gets nowhere near my clit unless I either push the toy in uncomfortably deep (ouch) or smush it against my vulva with my hard (awkward and annoying.) The tail is also pretty floppy, meaning it doesn’t stay in place very well. When I insert it and don’t hold it in place, it sort of flops sideways.
With vibrations transmitting down the tail, I can kinda-sorta feel something through it if I hold it against my clit. However, due to the lack of an actual motor in this part of the toy, the vibrations are pretty weak. I (like the vast majority of vulva-havers, by the way) need clitoral stimulation to get off. This means I’m pretty much never going to use this toy in its intended manner. Of course, you can always pair the Lush 4 with a clitoral vibrator if you enjoy dual stimulation.
The positioning of the button, on the underside of the tail end, also means you have to interrupt what little clit stim it does provide if you want to change the setting manually.
Lovense Lush 4 Review: Verdict
Is it worth upgrading to the Lush 4? If you’ve currently got the Lush 3, I’d say probably not unless the new features like rapid charging and pretty LED lights matter a lot to you. The basic functionality is very similar. If you’ve got a Lush 1 or 2, though, then the Lush 4 is a marked upgrade.
Ultimately, as someone who doesn’t like internal vibrations and is “meh” about most sexual stimulation that doesn’t make my clit the main event, the Lush 4 is never going to be a go-to toy for me. With that said, if you do enjoy internal vibrations and don’t need a lot of clit stimulation to have fun, and if you’re happy to either use an app or put up with limited manual functionality, the Lush 4 might be a great match for you.

[Lube & Massage Product Review] Vibeology Throb Stroking and Massage Cream
This one has been in my to-be-reviewed pile for longer than I’d like to admit, and I kept putting it off. Why? Because, if I’m honest, I don’t like using oil-based lubes. However, Vibeology’s Pure organic water-based lube has become one of my trusted favourites, so I felt I should give the Throb Stroking Cream oil-based formula—a combination masturbation lube and massage cream—a fair shot.
Vibeology Throb: Oil-Based Stroking Lube and Massage Cream
Vibeology Throb is an oil-based lubricant-slash-massage-cream designed specifically for stroking, i.e. masturbation or hand sex. It’s light yellow in colour and comes in a scoopable formula in screw-top tubs.
Let’s look at what’s in it and how safe the ingredients are.
- Butyrospermum parkii butter (AKA shea butter): A common natural skincare ingredient that offers excellent benefits for the skin and is considered safe for use in lubricants that come into contact with genitals.
- Olea Europea (olive) fruit oil: A protective and moisturising oil. Views on its safety in lube are mixed, but it’s likely fine for the external genital area.
- Cocus Nucifera (coconut) oil: Perhaps the oil most commonly used as a lubricant. Good for the skin and safe for external use as long as you’re not allergic. However, it may disrupt the vaginal pH and increase risk of yeast infections for some users.
- Prunus Armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil: A light plant oil rich in fatty acids and vitamins A, C and E. The information I could find indicated it’s likely safe for the external genitals.
- Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) leaf juice: A hydrating and soothing ingredient that’s also in Vibeology’s Pure formula.
- Stearic acid: A fatty acid that acts as an emollient and stabiliser, safe and widely used in many lubricants.
- Sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate,
- Acetic acid: A pH adjuster that is also used in some prescription vaginal products.
- Ascorbic acid: The chemical name for Vitamin C.
- Tocopherol: AKA Vitamin E.
- Sodium Chloride: AKA salt, used here in miniscule quantities.
Overall, this is a great ingredients list. I wouldn’t use this formula inside my vagina due to the risk of irritation and infection from oils, but as a masturbation oil or massage cream it has an excellent safety profile.
What I Like About Vibeology Throb Masturbation Oil
Aside from the great ingredients list, there are a few things I like a lot about this product:
- It has a light and unobtrusive earthy scent, and contains no artificial flavours or fragrances.
- It absorbs into the skin well and does not leave any unpleasant tacky or sticky residue.
- When I apply it to my skin, it leaves it feeling soft and nourished. This makes it a great choice for massage. It can also double up as a moisturiser for dry or sensitive skin.
- It offers a lovely slick, slippery sensation which many users will enjoy.
Things To Be Aware Of
Due to the oils’ excellent absorption, you may need to reapply this lube a few times during a sex/masturbation or massage session. You only need a little at a time, so you’ll still get plenty of uses out of a tub, but it’s not as long-lasting as some products I’ve tried.
As I mentioned above, I wouldn’t consider this a safe product for vaginal use. Therefore, if you’re going to transition from massage, masturbation or hand-sex into penetrative sex or vaginal fingering, it’s best to pause and wash the oil off your hands first. For masturbation or hand sex with a penis, though, it’s a great choice.
Remember that oil-based lubes are not compatible with latex barriers such as condoms or dams. If you’re using barriers, stick to a water-based lube. Oil-based lubes are okay with some non-latex barriers, but always double-check if you’re not sure so you don’t compromise your safety.
On a personal, sensory level, I really struggle with oil-based lubes. I hate the sensation of having slippery stuff all over my hands. I have the same issue when I’m cooking if I get oil on my hands; I just want to wash it off straight away and I’m completely distracted until it’s gone. This doesn’t mean it’s a bad product, it just means it’s a not-for-me product.
Finally, the taste isn’t super pleasant so you probably won’t want to use this one for oral sex.
Vibeology Throb Masturbation and Massage Oil: Verdict
If you’re seeking a body-safe oil-based lube for masturbation, penis stroking or massage, you can’t go far wrong with this one.
Vibeology Throbe Stroking and Massage Cream is available from Shevibe for $19 for 120ml or $29 for 236.5ml.

[Toy Review] We-Vibe Chorus Pro
When I learned that a new version of the We-Vibe Chorus was dropping, this time named the We-Vibe Chorus Pro, my first thought was “already!?” Surely it hasn’t been that long since the first iteration of the Chorus hit the market. However, apparently it’s been well over five years! Time is fake. That can mean only one thing: it’s time for a review of the newly released We-Vibe Chorus Pro.
What is the We-Vibe Chorus Pro?
The Pro is a new, updated version of the original We-Vibe Chorus. It’s the same basic design, and follows the theme of We-Vibe’s classic C-shaped “wear during intercourse” vibrators.
It’s designed to offer additional clitoral stimulation to the wearer during penetrative sex, while also stimulating the inside of their vagina and (if applicable) their partner’s penis with vibrations. It comes with a “Haptic Squeeze Remote” (more on that below) and can also be controlled via the We-Vibe app.
The Chorus Pro is made of body-safe silicone and available in 3 colourways: Cosmic Purple, Satin Black, and Electric Pink. Its internal arm measures ???
The Chorus Pro is rechargeable, with a 2 hour charge giving around 90 minutes of running time. Its sturdy black plastic storage case is also a USB charging case. It is also IPX7 waterproof, i.e. submersible. It’s unclear whether the remote is waterproof, though; the Chorus Original’s remote was only splashproof so the same may be true here.
Chorus vs Chorus Pro: What’s New?
The We-Vibe Chorus Pro offers many of the same features as the previous iteration of this product, including the adjustable hinged design, squeezable remote, app control options, and touch sensors on the main body of the toy. However, it also offers a number of upgrades. Most notably:
Three Motors and Fusion Wave Stimulation
While the original Chorus had two motors, the Chorus Pro has three. There are two motors in the external clitoral stimulator, and one in the insertable arm. This enables something We-Vibe calls “Fusion Wave Technology”, which sounds like something out of Star Trek but actually seems to just mean that the two clitoral motor synchronise to offer rhythmic, rolling and flowing “wave-like” vibrations.
“Haptic Squeeze” Remote
Though the original Chorus had a squeeze-sensitive remote, the Chorus Pro has had a significant upgrade in this regard. The word “haptic” just means something relating to the sense of touch. The new Chorus remote is designed to adjust vibration strength with the intensity of the squeeze, with the remote vibrating at the same strength as the toy to provide immediate feedback to the person holding it.
Is this a good thing? Debatable. We’ll get into this in more detail shortly.
We-Vibe Chorus Pro Review: Pros
Something I appreciate about We-Vibe is that, unlike some toy manufacturers, they don’t constantly churn out new products at an alarmingly fast rate. Instead, they seem to take their time and put real thought into their designs. As a result, the We-Vibe Chorus Pro has a lot to recommend it.
Let’s get into what I like about this product.
- It’s so pretty! The material sort of shimmers.
- The hinged design allows you to adjust the fit according to your body.
- The charging case is convenient for both travel and storage. For an ADHDer like me, it also makes me less likely to lose either the toy or the remote.
- With 7 classic We-Vibe patterns and 3 new “Fusion Wave” patterns built in, as well as constant vibrations and the ability to change the intensity level of any pattern using the remote, the user experience is pretty versatile even before you get the app involved.
- The remote is highly responsive, both in squeeze mode and when just using the buttons.
- The squishy design also makes the motor super comfortable to hold and use.
- I love the texturing on the underside of the external arm. It’s pretty subtle but it adds a little extra stimulation. I can’t personally feel the texturing on the internal arm when I’m wearing it, but other users’ experience may differ.
- The addition of a third motor really does make a difference in use. While I think calling it “Fusion Wave” is a stretch, the synchronised external motors deliver more intense clitoral and all-over vulva stimulation than a single motor can manage on its own.
- The motors! We-Vibe always uses excellent strong and rumbly motors in its toys, and this one is no exception.
Cons
There are also a few things about the We-Vibe Chorus Pro I found frustrating. Namely:
- While the original Chorus had two adjustable hinges for a better fit, the Chorus Pro appears to only have one. It’s a shame to lose the extra adjustability the additional hinge offered.
- There doesn’t seem to be a way to control the motors separately using the toy itself or the remote. If you want to do this, you’ll need the app. As someone who doesn’t like internal vibrations, this is a pretty big downside for me personally.
- The insertable section isn’t long enough (or curved enough) to get anywhere near my G-spot. Instead of providing additional pleasure, it just sort of sits there as an anchor to hold the toy in place (sort of; see below.)
- Overall, as in the original We-Vibe Chorus, I found the “Touch Sense” modes too unpredictable and unreliable to be pleasurable. It’s an interesting concept, but the reality is mostly just annoying.
- I wish there were better controls on the toy itself. The single button interface is very limiting and basically means this toy is only worthwhile with either the remote or the app.
- Like virtually all toys of this type, it doesn’t really stay in place without a helping hand unless you’re staying very still (and sometimes not even then.) If you’re moving or doing any kind of thrusting, you pretty much have to hold it in position with your hand to stop it slipping around all over the place.
Other Things to Be Aware Of
I have really mixed feelings about the haptic feedback of the squeeze remote. On the one hand, having the feedback could be useful if you’re using the toy on a partner and want to get a sense of the intensity of the stimulation for them. On the other hand, having your hand repeatedly vibrated is really annoying and uncomfortable. Ultimately, each user will need to decide if this bothers them (and, if it does, if they like the feature enough to put up with it.)
I also find that, the longer I do this job, the less I care about a toy’s app features. I can count on one hand the times I’ve used an app to control a toy outside of an “I’m testing this product so I can review it” session. I don’t really want to be on my phone when I’m trying to masturbate or have sex, I don’t use toys in public because they’re nowhere near as discreet as some people seem to think they are, and I’ve found ways to have long-distance sex that work better for me personally.
That said, We-Vibe’s app is one of the better options for app-controlled toys out there, and it offers a number of intriguing additional options including:
- Handing control over to a partner anywhere in the world with an internet connection
- Chatting and video-calling with a partner while they control the toy
- As mentioned above, controlling the motors separately
- Activating the three available “Touch Sense” modes
- More finely controlling the intensity of the vibrations
- Touch mode, in which you can control the toy with the swipe of a finger
- Creating your own vibration patterns
- Creating “playlists” of your favourite patterns
We-Vibe Chorus Pro Review: Verdict
Overall, I think the We-Vibe Chorus Pro is an excellent product. It improves on the original in a couple of fun ways, while maintaining We-Vibe’s reputation for good motors and thoughtful design. Despite a few frustrations, I’m still happy to recommend it.
The Chorus Pro retails for £189/$229 and is available from Lovehoney UK, Lovehoney US, Shevibe, Good Vibes, Babeland, or directly from We-Vibe Europe and North America.

[Toy Review] UEROS Remote Control Wearable Vibrator with Detachable Egg Set
Following my UEROS sex machine review a while back, I received another UEROS product to try. This time, we’re looking at the wearable vibe set, or the “UEROS Remote Control Wearable Vibrator with Detachable Egg Set,” to give it its full name.
What is the UEROS Wearable Vibe Set?
At first glance, the UEROS wearable vibrator set is an interesting concept. It contains four main pieces:
- A thin, vaguely saddle-shaped vibrator that sits against the pubis with a protruding clitoral stimulator
- A detachable egg vibrator that fits inside the vagina
- A harness/crotchless panty thing with straps to hold the vibrator against the body
- A remote control
The main intended use for the UEROS vibe set is for it to be wearable during (penetrative) partnered sex. In case you’re struggling to visualise how it’s intended to work, here’s a handy diagram provided by UEROS:
The vibrator and egg are made of body-safe silicone (with plastic accents on the former.) The harness is made of polyester and spandex.
This USB rechargeable toy offers 1 hour of runtime for a 2 hour charge. It is also IPX6 waterproof, i.e. splashproof but not submersible.
UEROS Wearable Vibe Set: The Good
Let’s start with the positive things I can say about this product.
First, I do think the concept is neat. It’s kind of a combination of insertable wearable vibrators (such as the various iterations of We-Vibe’s classic shape) and those “vibrating knickers” that are still inexplicably a thing even though they almost universally suck.
The slim design is thoughtful and means the toy is less obtrusive and “in the way” if you’re using it during partnered sex. Design-wise, I also like the long tail on the egg. This sidesteps the issue of dual-stimulation toys often being designed for one specific type of genitals, making it more likely to fit comfortably with a range of bodies.
The detachable design of the egg vibrator makes this a more versatile product. You could also use the egg on its own as a non-vibrating, leave-in toy, if you like.
The six straps on the harness/panties hold the vibrator in place very well. Unlikely many “wear during intercourse” toys, it stays securely in position. A rare instance of a supposedly hands-free toy that’s actually suitable for hands-free use.
I like that, when you’re using the external vibrator and the egg together, you can control them completely separately. There’s one button for each part on both the main toy and the remote control. Each has five settings: three constant speeds and two patterns.
The silicone is soft and silky. Aesthetically, it’s also kind of fun. The metallic accents give the whole thing a vaguely sci-fi/techno feel.
UEROS Wearable Vibe Set: The Bad
Buckle in, because once I started actually trying this product, things went sideways fast.
The placement of the buttons on the top side of the toy seems fine initially, but quickly reveals a significant problem. If you’re having penetrative sex in a face-to-face position such as missionary, the chances of the toy getting smushed between bodies and accidentally turned off are very high.
I also want to know why the clitoral stimulator is squishy. This makes the already-poor vibration transmission even worse and makes it hard to get any significant, consistent pressure.
My biggest complaint about this toy, though? The sizing of the included harness/panty, without which the main function of the toy is unusable. UEROS claims this item is size inclusive, which is laughably untrue. It is adjustable, but only accommodates waist sizes of ~28″ to ~38″. Apparently it was “rigorously tested on diverse body types”, which means on women (presumably cis) between 5’3″ and 5’8″ and between 60 and 70kg. That’s not a diverse range of body types. That’s a difference of maybe two or three dress sizes, if that.
If you’re going to design a toy that’s exclusively for thin people… well, first of all, don’t. But if you must, at least be honest about it. Claiming a demonstrably exclusionary product is size-inclusive doesn’t make it so.
Finally, the UEROS wearable vibe’s vibrations are nothing short of useless. They’re as weak and buzzy as they come. There is zero possibility of this toy ever giving me an orgasm, in any configuration. And believe me, I’ve tried.
Verdict
This is a product that is significantly better in theory than in practice. I don’t know if corners were cut to bring it to market faster or if it just wasn’t tested sufficiently, but there’s so much wrong with the execution of what is objectively a good idea.
The UEROS wearable vibe set could have been a great product. Unfortunately, in its current state, it just isn’t.

[Toy Review] Womanizer Enhance
Something that bugs me more than it probably should? When people refer to toys that don’t vibrate as “vibrators.” This term is often erroneously applied to clitoral suction toys, which stimulate the clitoris via air pulses instead of traditional vibrations. However, what if a clitoral suction toy was also a vibrator? That’s the basic premise of the Womanizer Enhance, which I recently received to review.
Womanizer Enhance: Details
The concept of combining clitoral suction with vibrations has been done before. One of the earliest iterations was the surprisingly-good-in-its-day (and now defunct) Satisfyer Pro Plus Vibration. However—spoiler alert for the rest of this review!—I think the Womanizer Enhance is probably the best iteration of this concept I’ve seen so far.
The Womanizer Enhance is a clitoral suction toy in the classic tapering Womanizer shape similar to products such as the Classic, Premium, and Next. However, this one has two important differences:
- There’s no removable nozzle; it’s all one unit
- The toy offers not only suction-based stimulation, but vibrations as well
The Womanizer Enhance is available in three colours: black, pink, and lilac (my personal favourite.) It is made of body-safe silicone with a plastic base. It’s USB rechargeable, taking around 90 minutes to charge and offering up to 2 hours of runtime depending on intensity. The Enhance is also IPX7 waterproof, allowing for full submersion.
Womanizer Enhance Review: Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts
Womanizer claims that “100% of testers had an orgasm!” which, I admit, made me roll my eyes a bit. It’s not quite one of those “orgasm guaranteed!” claims that make me want to scream, but it’s at least skirting around the edges of being one.
However, I’ll give them this: the Womanizer Enhance really is an excellent product.
It offers 10 vibration speeds, 10 suction intensity levels, and 10 vibration patterns. This means that, all-in, there are over 1000 possible combinations to play with. Of course, if you’re anything like me, you’ll find one to maybe five settings you like and stick with those. But, given the versatility, there’s a decent chance of finding at least a few that hit the spot for you.
Suction-wise, the Womanizer Enhance is pretty similar to the many other clitoral suction toys in the Womanizer range. The 10 speeds are well graded, offering a noticeable but not too extreme jump between settings as you move up through them. The suction sensation is intense, yet also smooth and sensual.
In terms of vibrations, I was pleasantly surprised to find them far more rumbly than I was expecting. They’re not the strongest, even at the highest levels, but they’re still pretty good. Overall, though, the beauty of this toy is that it’s greater than the sum of its parts. The suction is good, the vibrations are fine, but together is where the magic really happens.
Compared to other suction-only toys I’ve reviewed, I felt as though the orgasm from the Womanizer Enhance encompassed my whole vulva rather than being concentrated in my clitoris.
Other Things I Liked Include:
- The five button interface makes the toy easy and intuitive to use. There are two buttons to control the vibrations, two to control the suction, and one to change the pattern. Simple to learn, relatively easy to use by feel, and sensibly positioned on the back of the toy’s handle.
- The ability to control the suction and vibrations completely separately means that no matter what combination of stimulation you’re in the mood for, you can fine-tune your experience accordingly.
- It fits comfortably in my hand, with the tapered handle providing ergonomic comfort in use.
Any Downsides?
On my first try with the Womanizer Enhance, I found the positioning slightly awkward. Due to the nozzle being integrated with the main body of the toy, it doesn’t stick out as far from the body as the nozzles on other, similar products. This made it a little challenging to find a position that was both effective and comfortable to hold for a while.
The above positioning issue also makes it challenging to use a penetrative toy such as a dildo at the same time. Not impossible, but… logistically complex. Something to bear in mind if you prefer to use multiple toys together.
Another reason I don’t love the lack of a removable nozzle is that it makes both cleaning the toy and sharing it with a partner more of a faff.
The Womanizer Enhance can also be pretty loud at the higher levels, particularly if you have the suction and vibrations going at the same time.
Womanizer Enhance Review: Verdict
Whether the Enhance is the best Womanizer product yet will be a matter of opinion and personal preference. But for me at least, it’s definitely in the top five and possibly the top three. Yes, the vibrations really do enhance (see what I did there?) the experience that much.
I love this toy.
The Womanizer Enhance retails for around £149/$169 and is available from retailers including Lovehoney UK, Lovehoney US, Shevibe, Good Vibes, Babeland, and of course directly from Womanizer.
