[Toy Review] Lovehoney x ROMP Switch Suction Clitoral Stimulator

I love many of Womanizer’s products and their suction-based clitoral stimulators are second to none. (Which is probably why so many companies have shamelessly ripped them off since!) But they’re also seriously pricey. Reviewers and fans have been calling for a more affordable version for ages. The ROMP Switch, a collaboration between Lovehoney and ROMP by Womanizer, is a more affordable clit sucker that I recently received to review.

ROMP Switch Clit Sucker: Details

The ROMP Switch is a clitoral suction toy utilising the same trademarked Pleasure Air technology as the rest of the Womanizer range. It came attractively packaged in a branded green box with a picture of the toy on the front:

The Switch measures 5″ in length and features a tapered ergonomic handle. Its body is made of ABS plastic in an attractive lilac purple, and its nozzle is made of body-safe silicone. The nozzle is removable for easy cleaning.

ROMP Switch clitoral suction toy

The ROMP Switch is a battery-powered toy, requiring 2 x AAA batteries (included.) You’ll get a seriously impressive 300 minutes (around 5 hours) of runtime out of a set of batteries! For reference, I’ve never had a rechargeable toy last that long on a single charge. The ROMP Switch is splashproof but not waterproof, so bear that in mind if it’s relevant to you.

The ROMP Switch retails for £29.99/$34.99. If you’re specifically looking for a rechargeable toy, you can get the rechargeable ROMP Shine for slightly more.

ROMP Switch Review: Experience

Ultimately, the litmus test for any sex toy is “does it get me off reliably?” In that regard, the ROMP Switch delivers.

Nozzle of clitoral suction vibrator

The shape is good, and the gentle curve means it was easy to get a good seal around my clit with the nozzle. I found it easiest to hold the toy with the handle pointing downwards, but some may find rotating it 90 degrees (so the handle points up towards your stomach) is more comfortable. Experiment and see what works for you.

The ROMP Switch has six power settings, ranging from a gentle lapping up to “powerful” and then “holy shit”. The two-button interface is simple, and features +/- controls so you can change the setting either up or down. The buttons are easy to press, intuitively placed on the front of the toy in the middle, and easy to feel for without looking.

The ROMP Switch’s nozzle is quite firm. Pro tip: put some water-based lube on the toy’s nozzle and/or your body before you get started.

It’s important to note that if you’re used to traditional vibrators, suction clitoral stimulators feel very different. Some people liken it to the feeling of cunnilingus, though I personally don’t experience them as similar. The best way I can describe it is a kind of very rapid tapping sensation on your clit.

The ROMP Switch gets me off every bit as well as many of the more expensive suction toys I’ve reviewed, and better than some. Yes, it’s lean on extra features (for example, it doesn’t offer additional vibrations, patterns, or a fancy silencing function.) But all those things are just that: extras, not essentials. This is a simple but effective toy that does the job it’s designed to do, and does it damn well.

Womanizer ROMP Switch clit sucker with pleasure air technology

If I have one complaint about this toy, it’s the noise. It is noticeably noisier than some of the pricier suction sex toys I’ve used, though the noise is somewhat dampened when it’s pressed against the body. I didn’t find it particularly intrusive or problematic, but it’s something to be aware of if discretion is important to you.

Verdict

If you’ve never tried a clitoral suction toy and you’re curious, you could do a lot worse than the ROMP Switch. Likewise if you’re into that kind of sensation and you’re on a budget. Effective, affordable, and cute. What’s not to like?

The ROMP Switch is available from Lovehoney US, ROMP Europe, ROMP North America, Good Vibes, and Babeland.

[Toy Review] Hot Octopuss Kurve

Every now and then, I get my hands on a sex toy that is so pretty that it delights me just to look at it. Even more occasionally, that toy is as good in function as in form. The new Hot Octopuss Kurve is one such toy. Hot Octopuss kindly sent me the Kurve to review.

Hot Octopuss Kurve: Details

Kurve is a new vibrator for folks with vulvas from Hot Octopuss, pioneers of sex toy innovations. At first glance, it looks like a fairly standard, curved G-spot vibrator. But this toy is so much more than that.

Hot Octopuss Kurve g-spot vibrator

The Kurve features dual-motor Treble and Bass technology, the same patented tech used in the Hot Octopuss Jett. But instead of sitting in two separate pieces, Kurve brings both motors together in one creative package.

As I mentioned, my first impression of the Hot Octopuss Kurve is just how pretty it is. The silicone body is a rich burgundy colour, and the plastic handle fades from burgundy to black. When I held it up to show my partner and metamour on camera, they declared it “essentially the aubergine emoji in a sex toy!”

The Kurve measures 7.5″ in length, 5″ in insertable length, and 1.6″ in diameter. It weighs 189g.

The Kurve is fully waterproof, USB rechargeable via the included cable, and comes with a silky black storage bag with Hot Octopuss branding.

Hot Octopuss Kurve Review: Let’s Talk About That Shape

Curved toys are usually a big hit with me because they’re fabulous for targeted G-spotting. The Hot Octopuss Kurve’s, well, curve is near perfect. Not only that, but the bulbous head is soft and squishy while the rest of the shaft is rigid.

Hot Octopuss Kurve g-spot and clitoral vibrator

Even before we bring the vibes into the equation, Kurve won me over as a G-spotting dildo alone. Bonus: the plastic handle is comfortable and ergonomic to hold and manipulate.

When it comes to curved vibrators, though, I often find myself complaining that the shape is great but the vibrations are shit. Would the same be true of the Kurve?

All About That Bass (and Treble)

So here’s where things get really fun! The Kurve’s unique selling point is based on its two motor “treble and bass” design. What does that mean, exactly? The toy contains two distinct motors. The “treble” vibrates at a high frequency, while the “bass” vibrates at a lower frequency and therefore gives a deeper sensation. In common sex toy reviewer parlance, we might think of the treble as the “buzz” and the bass as the “rumble.”

The beauty of the Hot Octopuss Kurve is that you can use the two motors together or separately, and at different levels. So if you want a little buzz and a lot of rumble or vice-versa, you can do that. If you want a lot of both? One on its own? Yep, that’s available, too.

I’m not a big fan of buzzy vibrations generally. As a rule, I’m all about the rumble. But holy shit, this toy when they’re both on together…. wow! The multi-layered stimulation is super intense and, for wand of a better word, nuanced. I found that it felt best when I laid it along one side of my vulva and allowed the vibrations to thrum through my labia to my clit.

Hot Octopuss Kurve Review: Controls

The Kurve’s controls require a little getting used to, though they’re fairly intuitive once you learn which button does what. The treble and bass controls are conveniently marked on the handle.

Hot Octopuss Kurve vibrator for g-spot and clitoral stimulation

There are also two small buttons, one that turns both the treble and bass off simultaneously, and one that switches between patterns. The Hot Octopuss Kurve has 5 patterns and each motor has 5 speeds.

The buttons are raised, making it easy to find them without looking, and easy to press. Once you’ve memorised which side is treble and which is bass, you can operate the toy completely by feel.

Verdict

The Hot Octopuss Kurve is a damn good toy.

I do have a couple of small complaints that I hope will be ironed out in subsequent versions. Most notably, the seam between the silicone shaft and plastic handle is uneven in a way that is a little unsightly on an otherwise luxurious looking toy (not to mention a potential bacteria trap.) It would also be nice to be able to control patterns independently for each motor, as well as the speeds.

In the scheme of things, though, they’re small issues and this is a great product that I thoroughly recommend.

The Kurve retails for £89.95 and is available directly from Hot Octopuss.

[Toy Review] We-Vibe Touch X

Earlier this week, I post a review of the Tango X from We-Vibe’s new and updated range; today it’s the turn of the WeVibe Touch X.

However, my perspective on this is slightly different. I’ve never tried or owned the original WeVibe Touch, so this is a stand-alone review of the Touch X rather than a comparison between a newer and older product.

We-Vibe Touch X Review: Details and Interface

The WeVibe Touch X is a petite, palm-sized clitoral vibrator with a concave side and a tapered tip.

We-Vibe Touch X clitoral vibrator

It measures 4″ in total length and is made of 100% body-safe, smooth silicone. Mine is pink (well, it’s really more pinkish orange.) It is also available in a dark sea-green.

Clitoral vibrator with tapered tip for pinpoint clit stimulation. Vibrator by We-Vibe

The Touch X is fully waterproof and USB rechargeable. It comes with a small white silky storage bag.

The WeVibe Touch X features 8 levels of intensity and 7 patterns. The simple user interface is identical to that of the Tango X: two buttons to change the intensity up and down, and a central button to switch between patterns.

Vibrator buttons on the We-Vibe Touch X powerful external vibrator

The buttons are intuitively placed and relatively easy to press. However, they’re a bit fiddly due to their small size. I would have liked them to be a little bigger. The Touch X also features a cool press-and-hold button functionality, so you can just hold the up or down button until you get the exact level of intensity you’re after.

WeVibe Tango Review: In use

I think the new generation Touch has the same motor as the new Tango X. However, I found that the silicone dampened the vibrations to such an extent that they felt far weaker and more buzzy.

Side view of We-Vibe Touch X new generation clit vibe

Though I can get off with the Touch X, I found it a pretty frustrating experience. As a big lover of We-Vibe products, I kept thinking that this couldn’t be as high as the power goes. But it was.

I do like the tapered shape, but the vibrations themselves were disappointing. I can comfortably say this is by far the most underwhelming We-Vibe product I’ve tried, and I doubt I’ll be reaching for it again.

WeVibe Touch X Review: Verdict

Perhaps it’s because I tested and wrote my review of the Tango X first, which I loved, but I found the Touch X just okay.

It’s well-designed and I like the shape. The motor itself is decent. However, I think the silicone just dampened the vibrations a little too much for me. The result was all buzz and not intense enough. I don’t get the deep, satisfying rumble from the Touch X that both Tango models provide.

If you like a still-respectable-but-slightly-gentler vibration, get the Touch. If you need pinpoint stimulation or intense, rumbly power, the Tango X will be your new best friend.

The Touch X retails for £89.99/$109 and is available from retailers such as Lovehoney UK, Lovehoney US, Good Vibes, Babeland, Sex Toys UK, The Pleasure Garden, and Shevibe.

[Toy Review] We-Vibe Tango X

One of the world’s most powerful bullet vibrators, not to mention one of the most popular, has had a makeover: the WeVibe Tango has become the Tango X, which can only mean it’s time for another WeVibe review.

WeVibe Tango X Bullet: What’s Changed?

There are a few notable differences between the WeVibe Tango X and the original Tango bullet. The X is slightly larger, measuring just under 10cm in from base to tip (the original is around 8.5cm.)

We-Vibe Tango X and Tango Original comparison

The new Tango X retains the signature lipstick-style tapered tip of the original, but features a silicone grip around the base. This makes it more comfortable to hold and means that your hand gets vibrated slightly less in use.

The Tango X has had a motor upgrade, taking this already super-powerful bullet vibe up to the next level. Its battery life has had a boost, too. You’ll now get around 2 hours runtime out of a 90 minute charge.

Finally—and this is a big deal—the controls have been upgraded. Instead of the original Tango’s one-button interface in the base of the toy, the Tango X features three buttons, allowing you to cycle between patterns and change speeds up and down with ease. The power buttons also feature a press-and-hold function, allowing you to choose exactly what level of power you want simply by holding the button down.

The WeVibe Tango X bullet offers 7 patterns and 8 intensity levels. It is waterproof, USB rechargeable, and has a travel lock. In the box, you’ll also find the charging cable, a sachet of WeVibe water-based lube, and a white silky storage bag. My Tango X is navy blue, but it’s also available in pink.

WeVibe Tango X Review: In Use

The small but mighty Tango has always been a great toy, and this new iteration continues that tradition. It is light (less than 40g!), the new handle makes it ergonomic and comfortable to hold, and it’s small enough to pop in your bag or pocket. The dream travel toy when you need to maximise space!

We-Vibe Tango X clitoral bullet vibrator

And those vibrations… wow.

This new edition Tango delivers in that department and then some. The vibrations are powerful as fuck. Not only that, they’re also rumbly as fuck. There’s no surface-level, numbing buzz here. It’s all powerful, intense rumbles that penetrate deep into the body. Think of it as like a deep tissue massage for your genitals.

The WeVibe Tango X is also surprisingly quiet, making it a great choice if discretion is a must for you. The new style buttons are a little smaller than I would ideally like, but intuitively located and easy enough to press.

Like the original Tango, the Tango X’s shape is dreamy. You can use the shaft for broader stimulation, or the tapered end for perfect, precision clit stim. It’s also small enough to slide between bodies during penetrative sex, if that’s your thing.

We-Vibe Tango X bullet vibrator

Honestly, I’m a simple creature when it comes to my sex toys. I want intense, rumbly power that is easy to use and gets me off. In that respect, the Tango X delivers and then some.

Verdict

An upgrade in every way! I often roll my eyes when toy companies release “new and improved” versions, adding features that no-one asked for and upping the price. But the WeVibe X is legitimately an improvement on an already great product.

It has everything you love about the original Tango, only with better controls, a more comfortable grip, and even more power.

The Tango X retails for £79.99/$79 and is available from retailers such as Lovehoney UK, Lovehoney US, SheVibe, Good Vibes, Babeland, or directly from the manufacturer (North America/Europe) and help me out by sending a small commission my way!

[Toy Review] Avant Pride P8 Bi Pride Dildo

What better way to show your bisexual pride than through your sex toys? Today I’m pleased to be reviewing the P8 dildo from the Avant Pride range.

Avant Pride P8 Dildo: Details

The Avant Pride P8 by Blush sex toys is a hand-poured silicone dildo in the bisexual pride colours: pink, blue, and purple.

Avant Pride P8 bisexual pride dildo

Aesthetically, I love this toy straight away. Weirdly, it looks super shiny in the product pic but the real version is definitely more matte (though no less beautiful.)

The Pride P8 offers 6.9″ (17.7cm) in insertable length, and just under 1.5″ (3.8cm) in girth. It is semi-realistic in shape, with a veined shaft leading to a lifelike pronounced head.

The Avant Pride P8 comes with a strong suction cup base, allowing you to affix it to any solid surface. This toy is also harness-compatible. You’ll need a 1.5″ O-ring to pair it with your favourite strap-on harness.

Avant Sex Toys Bisexual Pride P8: In Use

This toy’s silicone is super silky, squishy and velvety. It feels lovely to the touch.

The Pride P8 dildo’s shaft is straight, but very flexible. It has tonnes of give which allows for comfortable insertion and thrusting, and it flexes with your body so you can angle it in the way that works for you. Honestly, if anything, I might have liked a little LESS flex. I occasionally found it hard to get the amount of G-spot pressure I prefer. I also would have preferred a little more of a curve to the shaft.

People who like girthier sex toys might find the Bisexual Pride P8 too narrow for their tastes. Personally, I love a good slimline dick sometimes (too much girth can hurt) and the P8 is an ideal size.

Avant Pride P8 bisexual pride sex toy in bi pride flag colors

With that said, the P8 still feels great in use. The ridges provide gentle internal stimulation and the head is just the right size and shape. I’m likely to reach for this dildo when my body is craving something gentler than my rigid toys.

Bi flag sex toy from Avant Pride dildo range

This toy is also anal-safe, thanks to its flared base. The Bisexual Pride P8’s slim design might make it particularly good for those who are just exploring anal play and find thicker sex toys intimidating.

Verdict

The Avant Pride P8 is a simple yet stylish, effective, and versatile dildo. It’s comfortable to use and visually gorgeous.

If you’re a bisexual babe (or ally) of any gender looking to show off your pride through your sex toys, you’ve come to the right place. The Avant Pride P8 retails from £40/$60 and is available from Good Vibes, Babeland, Shevibe, and Sex Toys UK.

[Toy Review] Je Joue Rabbit Bullet

Today’s review of the Je Joue Rabbit Bullet vibrator comes courtesy of The Pleasure Garden, the UK’s inclusive feminist sex shop.

Je Joue Rabbit Bullet: Details

The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is a small bullet vibrator, petite and lightweight. It is 5″ in length and with two fluttering rabbit ears which make up about 1.5″ of the total length. It’s a bit like a mini version of the Happy Rabbit Wand.

Je Joue Rabbit Bullet powerful clitoral vibrator

This toy is made of soft and body-safe silicone in dark purple. The body of the toy is rigid, while the ears are bendy and flexible.

The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is waterproof and USB rechargeable. Charging is via a hidden port in the base, behind a silicone flap. I got around 90 minutes of runtime from a one hour charge.

Bonus: all Je Joue toys come with a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.

User Interface

The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet operates on a 3-button interface. The top (+) button turns the power up, the bottom (-) button turns the power down, and the central button switches between patterns. To turn the toy on and off, simply hold the + or – button (respectively) down for 2 seconds.

Je Joue Rabbit Bullet rabbit vibrator

The buttons are pretty small, which could be tricky for people who struggle with manual dexterity. However, they’re easy to press and raised so you can feel for them with your fingers without needing to look.

The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet offers five different speeds and five patterns. You can only scroll through the patterns one way, annoyingly, but the +/- intensity controls are a big advantage.

Je Joue Rabbit Bullet: Two Toys in One

What I like the most about the Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is that it’s a little like getting two toys in one. What do I mean by that? Well, you can get very different sensations by using the rigid body of the toy versus using the ears.

I like how the ears feel, but they’re definitely a warm-up sensation for me. Thanks to the shape, they dampen the intensity of the vibrations a lot. When I’m ready to orgasm, I also like to be able to push a toy against my vulva to get a decent amount of pressure, which is almost impossible with these soft, flexible ears.

If you find direct clitoral stimulation too intense, you can position the Rabbit Bullet so that the ears sit either site of your clitoral hood, hugging it and providing indirect pleasure. The ears are great for teasing not just clits, but also labia, nipples, penises, and even assholes (exterior only; this toy is not safe to insert anally as it doesn’t have a flared base.)

The main body of the bullet can pack a pretty good punch, power-wise. The vibrations are powerful and somewhat rumbly and, as the toy is small and rigid, they’re not dampened by a thick layer of silicone.

I found the best way to use this toy was to start by using the ears for a warm-up tease, then switch to using the body of the bullet when I was craving more intensity. I appreciate the ability to ramp it up gradually without needing to switch to a different toy.

For those of you who care about such things, the Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is impressively quiet for the level of power.

Final Thoughts

The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is simple, well-designed, and effective. Whether you’re looking for a toy to provide a range of sensations, or just exploring and aren’t sure what you like yet, it’s a good buy.

The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet retails for £50 and is available from The Pleasure Garden, Babeland, Shevibe, and Sex Toys UK.

[Toy Review] Clone a Willy

Have you ever wanted a lifesize, silicone replica of your or your partner’s penis? Well, you’re in luck! Clone a Willy kits are a popular and supposedly easy way to cast a silicone dildo from an actual cock at home. (There’s also now Clone a Pussy, by the way!) Lovehoney sent me and Mr C&K a Clone a Willy kit to test out and review.

Clone a Willy Kit
Image credit: Lovehoney

What’s in the Clone a Willy Kit?

The Clone a Willy kit comes packaged in a plastic tube, which also serves as the molding tube. Inside, you’ll find:

  • Instruction leaflet
  • Packet of molding power
  • 2 tubs of silicone
  • Mini thermometer
  • Single speed plastic vibrator
  • Stirring stick
Some of the contents of the Clone a Willy Kit

It’s worth noting that the kit doesn’t include every single thing you need. Fortunately, everything else you need is something you probably already have. You’ll need to have to hand:

  • A mixing pot to mix the molding powder (we used a plastic jug to make pouring easier)
  • A large wooden spoon
  • A disposable container to mix the silicone in (we used a well-cleaned plastic takeaway tub)
  • Means of measuring water in precise quantities
  • A way of keeping time (we used the timer function on my phone)
  • A square of scrap cardboard
Two pots of liquid silicone mix

Clone a Willy Review: How Does it Work?

The process of casting your penis isn’t all that difficult, but it takes a bit of precision and care.

First, you’ll need to cut the Clone a Willy tube to size. It should be half an inch longer than your erect penis. Next, you’ll need to measure out 1 3/4 cups (that’s 414ml) of lukewarm water and let it cool to exactly 90F (32C.) That’s what the thermometer is for. Be aware that this can take longer than you think!

Once the water is at the right temperature, you mix the molding powder in and stir it for exactly 45 seconds. Pour the mix into the tube, insert your erect penis, and hold it still until the mix starts to set. The instructions say 1-2 minutes, but this wasn’t quite enough. All in, this took around 4 minutes during our Clone a Willy test.

Voila, you have a mold! Then all you have to do is mix up the silicone, pour it into the mold, add the vibrator, and leave it to set for 24 hours.

Clone a Willy Review: How Hard is It?

The tricky part of this whole process is the precision. You need to get the right amount of water, making sure it’s exactly the right temperature, and stir the mixture for the right amount of time. Once the molding power goes in the water you have to act quickly, so make sure the penis being cast is erect and ready to go before you start mixing! (Staying hard is also a challenge when your dick is in lukewarm molding mix, I’m told. Have some porn or a sexy naked partner to hand!)

Pro tip: if you have body hair, apply some vaseline before you start casting.

Something else we learned during our Clone a Willy test for this review? It’s messy. You have to hold the tube full of liquid against your groin for several minutes in a slightly upward-tilted angle, and some will inevitably spill out. Put a towel or an old sheet down before you start, and don’t do this in a carpeted area.

Clean-up isn’t too difficult, at least. The molding mix washes off skin easily. And once any leftover mix is dry, it’ll peel off your bowl or spoon.

The molding is by far the hardest bit. Once that’s sorted, mixing up and pouring the silicone is a breeze. The one thing to be aware of is that you have to mix the silicone for several minutes (we did about 8 minutes) and then pour it as slowly as possible.

So How Did It Turn Out?

We got a very promising mold from our dick casting! And the silicone is the most gorgeously bright and vibrant colour:

Silicone mix from the Clone a Willy Kit

As per the advice, we decided to leave the mold to set overnight and then pour the silicone the next morning.

Clone a Willy Review: Outcome

Ta-da! Here it is:

Finished purple silicone dildo made with Clone a Willy Kit

After this adventure, I have a newfound appreciation for folks who make beautiful dildos. This came out pretty well for a first go. It’s structurally sound, useable, and actually a pretty good likeness to its, erm… source material.

But it’s still a far cry from what the professionals can do. Support your favourite dildo-makers, people!

Verdict

This whole experience was messy, awkward, and absolutely hilarious. You’ll need a good sense of humour if you want to make a Clone a Willy, but we had tonnes of fun making ours and writing this review!

The Clone a Willy kit retails for £39.99/$49.99 and is available from retailers including Lovehoney UK, Lovehoney US, Shevibe, Babeland, Good Vibes, Sex Toys UK, and The Pleasure Garden.

I’ll leave you with this:

Me: “What do you think people do with their cloned dick if they have a really bad breakup?”
Him: (beat) “Will it blend?”

[Toy Review] Lovehoney Glow-in-the-Dark Dildo

Because why not, that’s why. Today we’re looking at Lovehoney’s new glow in the dark dildo (described in the product copy as a “dazzling disco stick,” which I find hilariously charming.)

Lovehoney Glow in the Dark Dildo: Details

This clear silicone dildo has a strip of blue glow in the dark material inside (it also comes in pink, if that’s more your colour.) It is semi-realistic in design, with a veined shaft, prominent head, and balls at the base. The total length is 7.5″, the insertable length is 5.5″, and the straight shaft is 1.5″ in diameter.

This translucent silicone is something I don’t see very often. At first glance, it looks a bit like some of the jelly toys I’ve seen over the years, but it’s definitely made of body-safe silicone.

The Lovehoney glow-in-the-dark dildo

The glow-in-the-dark dildo features a suction cup, allowing you to affix it to any firm, flat surface for hands-free use. The suction cup is impressively strong and stays put well. This dildo will fit nicely in many strap-on harnesses (you’ll need a 1.5″ O-ring.) Thanks to the balls and suction cup base, it’s also safe for anal play.

Does the Glow in the Dark Dildo Actually Glow?

Yep!

It does, and it’s impressively bright. The instructions say to keep the dildo in the light for a short while before taking it into a dark space. I sat it next to my daylight lamp for 15 minutes, before taking it into my darkened bedroom to see the glow.

Here’s the result:

The Lovehoney glow-in-the-dark dildo
It is very difficult to get a good picture of something in the dark!

In Use

The glowing is a fun touch and makes this toy a bit different from all the millions of other great silicone dildos out there. But how does it fare in use?

Fortunately, the Lovehoney glow in the dark dildo isn’t all gimmick and no substance. It is also perfectly functional basic dildo that’s fun and pleasurable to use. The shaft is very flexible, making it easy to angle. It’s soft, squishy, and not too girthy.

The Lovehoney glow-in-the-dark dildo

Some reviewers have reported finding the veins pleasurable, but the inside of my vagina isn’t really sensitive enough to notice them. What does feel great is the pronounced, realistic head, which is ideal for targeting the G-spot. The shape is a little straighter than I would prefer, but it’s flexible enough to not be too much of a problem.

Bonus: the balls make a convenient handle for thrusting purposes!

One thing to be aware of is that the silicone is very matte in texture and therefore feels quite “grabby”. You’ll want to use plenty of lube for comfort.

Verdict

This is a decent quality silicone dildo at a great price! It retails for £26.99 from Lovehoney UK or $34.99 from Lovehoney US. If you’re after a functional all-rounder, the glow in the dark dildo is a fun, whimsical, and affordable option.

[Toy Review] Lovehoney Desire Bullet Vibrator

I’ve got another review for you from the Lovehoney Desire range today: the Desire Bullet Vibrator. I first looked at this range in the early days of this blog, and I’m curious to see if my perspective has changed at all.

Desire Bullet Vibrator: Details

The Lovehoney Desire Luxury Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator is a classic vibe in the traditional bullet shape, tapering to a soft point at the tip:

Desire Bullet Vibrator from the Lovehoney Desire range

The Desire Bullet measures a petite 3″ in total length. It is fully waterproof and rechargeable, with a two hour charge giving around an hour of runtime on full power. It also comes with a faux leather storage pouch with a hole for the charging cable.

This rigid Lovehoney bullet vibrator is coated in smooth, body-safe silicone in deep purple and stamped with the Lovehoney insignia.

Lovehoney Desire Bullet Vibrator: Controls

The Desire Bullet operates via a single button situated on the base of the toy. Just press once to switch it on, press repeatedly to cycle through the speeds and patterns, and hold it down for two seconds to switch the toy off.

Desire Bullet Vibrator from the Lovehoney Desire range

The button is raised, making it easy to feel and press without needing to look, and easy to press. I do wish it came with increase/decrease controls. This isn’t a cheap toy, and only being able to scroll through settings in one direction is pretty annoying.

In Use

The simple bullet shape is a classic for a reason, and offers some versatility in use. You can lay it flat against your vulva for a broader sensation, or use the tip for pinpoint clitoral stimulation. The silicone is silky soft and feels lovely, and is a change from the hard plastic of my usual go-to bullet.

The Lovehoney Desire bullet vibrator is super light, making it a good option if heavy or bulky toys are challenging for you. It’s also pretty quiet.

Power-wise, the Lovehoney Desire bullet vibrator is… fine. It starts out at a low rumble, which is good for getting warmed up, but the vibrations get pretty buzzy. I can get off with the top setting, but it’s a slow and kinda frustrating process.

Desire Bullet Vibrator from the Lovehoney Desire range

The Lovehoney Desire bullet vibrator has three constant speeds and a slightly bonkers seventeen patterns (some of which are very similar to one another. There are only so many variations on bzzz bzzz BZZZZZ in existence!)

The plus side is that this makes it pretty versatile for a bullet, which you’d expect when paying almost £50 for a toy. The downside is that it takes forever to scroll through them all (that damn one button interface again!) Also most of them are bad. More constant speeds would have been better.

Verdict

I’ve had mixed experiences with the Lovehoney Desire range. These products are beautifully designed, but haven’t always been powerful enough for me. Unfortunately, I have to say the same about the Desire Bullet.

A good quality and body-safe bullet vibe is a great addition to any toybag, but I don’t think this is the best one out there. At £64.99/$74.99, it’s pretty overpriced.

The Desire bullet vibrator is available from Lovehoney UK and Lovehoney US.

[Toy Review] Pillow Talk Sassy

The Pillow Talk Sassy has been on my “want to review” list forever. Thanks to Self & More, a women-owned sex shop (update: which has since sadly closed) I’ve managed to get hold of one. Let’s go!

Pillow Talk Sassy: Details

The Pillow Talk Sassy a curved vibrator with a bulbous head, made of body-safe silicone. It measures 7.5″ long with an insertable length of 5″ and a diameter of 1.5″ at the widest post. It is splashproof (not fully waterproof) and USB rechargeable. A full charge gave me around 2 hours of runtime.

The Sassy came attractively packaged in a white, clear front box. Included with the toy, there was a charging cable, a satin storage pouch, and a little cleaning brush to help you clean in those tricky grooves and ridges.

Pillow Talk Sassy Review: What I Liked

Let’s start with what I liked about the Pillow Talk Sassy, because there’s a lot.

  • One of the things that immediately drew me to the Sassy was the gorgeous mint green colour. Its button is also decorated with a little crystal, which is unnecessary but fun for those of us who like sparkly things.
  • It provides deep, rumbly vibrations at all power levels, and the Powerbullet motor packs an impressive punch.
  • The shape! The intense curve of the last couple of inches makes it ideal for both precision G-spot stimulation and for semi-pinpoint clitoral use.
  • The Pillow Talk Sassy’s shaft is somewhat flexible. This makes it a little more gentle and less intense than very rigid toys.
  • The single button (located on the base) is large and easy to press.
  • Instead of having to press the button repeatedly, you hold it down and the power increases smoothly until you release it. To give you an idea of how many intensity levels the Sassy offers, it took nine seconds to get to full power once switched on.
  • No patterns! (I hate patterns. Everyone hates patterns. I’m glad a toy manufacturer finally got the memo.)
  • It has a travel lock.
  • The cushioned, textured handle feels dreamy to hold.

Anything I Didn’t Like?

The Pillow Talk Sassy’s one-button interface isn’t ideal since you can’t turn the intensity back down without turning the toy off and starting again. It’s also a little loud.

Though, as mentioned above, I like the flexible shaft for internal use, it does make it a little difficult to get the amount of clitoral pressure I sometimes prefer for external use.

Verdict

The Pillow Talk Sassy is an awesome all-rounder. It takes a simple premise—a powerful, rumbly vibrator with a curve just made for G-spot pleasure—and it does it damn well. It’s also pleasingly prett, has simple and intuitive controls, and retails for half the price of many toys that are less good.

Excellent on all counts.

This toy retails for £65/$60-65 and is available from The Pleasure Garden, Babeland, and Shevibe.
