[Toy Review] Lovehoney Happy Rabbit Wand Vibrator

It’s May (where has the year gone so far!?) and that means it’s Masturbation Month! I’m pleased to be working with Lovehoney again to bring you a serious of product reviews this month. First up is a very appropriately spring-themed toy: the Happy Rabbit Wand vibrator.

Happy Rabbit Wand Vibrator: Info

Happy Rabbit is Lovehoney’s own-brand range of rabbit vibrators and, based on my experience of the line, they’re damn good. The Happy Rabbit Wand is a little different from its fellow bunnies, though. Instead of following the basic rabbit vibrator dual stimulation design, this is an external vibrator based on the “bunny ears” that you find on most rabbit toys. It’s kind of like a giant version of the Je Joue Rabbit Bullet.

Happy Rabbit Wand rabbit vibrator for clitoral stimulation

The Happy Rabbit Wand is a hefty 10.5″ in length. The handle is gently curved and the head looks like, well, a rabbit head with long ears.

The Happy Rabbit Wand is made of body-safe matte black silicone, with a decorative silver ABS plastic band around the handle. The shaft is fairly rigid (the top half has a tiny bit of flex) and the ears are flexible.

The wand is rechargeable via the included cable, and is waterproof and submersible. It also has a travel lock.

I had high hopes for this toy for two reasons. Firstly, because the external “ears” tend to be my favourite thing about rabbit vibes. Secondly, because I know from experience that Happy Rabbit products tend to be both well-designed and powerful.

Happy Rabbit Wand: Form & Function

The Happy Rabbit Wand Vibrator uses a simple two-button interface. The smaller bottom button turns the toy on and off and switches between speeds, and the larger top button switches between patterns.

Vibrator buttons for Happy Rabbit ears vibrator

This toy has 10 different patterns, each of which you can use on any of three speeds. The patterns button only scrolls through one way, but I can’t bring myself to care all that much because I don’t like patterns anyway. The smaller button allows me to switch the toy on, stick it on the highest constant vibration setting, and leave it there until I’m done. Perfect.

The handle is comfortable to hold and the buttons are intuitively positioned and easy to press. Because they are raised, they’re also easy to feel with your fingers without needing to look.

Let’s Talk About That Motor

The Happy Rabbit Wand is powerful as fuck on the highest setting. Interestingly, there’s a really big jump between the lowest and middle levels, then a smaller jump up to the top level. I guess I’d define them as “very low,” “high,” and “knock your socks off,” respectively.

Best of all, the vibrations are not only powerful but also rumbly and concentrated in the tips of the ears.

Rabbit ears wand vibrator

I found there were two main ways I could use this toy to get off. If I hold it parallel to my body with the head pointing downwards, the ears surround my clit for powerful but indirect stimulation. If I turn it at a 90 degree angle, I can get direct clitoral contact from one or both ears.

The Happy Rabbit Wand can get pretty intense. Though the ears are flexible, the silicone is also dense and firm.

Anything I Didn’t Like?

Honestly, I have no significant negative things to say about this toy. The Happy Rabbit Wand is a stellar product.

It is a little loud, so that’s something to bear in mind if it matters to you. But you’ll always have a trade-off between level of power and level of noise, so I can’t be too critical.

The only other thing worth noting is that the Happy Rabbit Wand is a little heavy which, again, is to be expected for something of this size and power. I still find it easier to hold for lengthy sessions than a full-sized traditional wand.

Verdict

Yes! The Happy Rabbit Wand is everything I hoped it would be, and more. The shape, power, and flexibility of the ears all combine to make my clit very happy indeed. Top marks.

The Happy Rabbit Wand retails for £84.99/$119.99 and is available from Lovehoney UK and Lovehoney US.

[Toy Review] Tracy’s Dog OG Pro2

The original Tracy’s Dog [1] original clit sucker went viral a couple of years back due to a hilariously lengthy and detailed Amazon review. No matter how long I work as a sex toy reviewer, I will likely never write anything as hilarious as “My legs went straight out like those goats who faint when scared.” I did not try that toy, but I have just received the Tracy’s Dog OG Pro 2 to review.

What is the Tracy’s Dog OG Pro 2?

The Tracy’s Dog OG Pro 2 is a dual stimulation insertable vibrator and clit sucker. It looks like this:

Tracys Dog OG Pro2 dual stimulation sex toy

The bulb-shaped insertable arm is a basic vibrator, while the external arm provides suction-based clitoral stimulation. Its shape reminds me of wearable toys like the We-Vibe Chorus, only with a much larger internal shaft.

Dual stimulation vibrator from Tracys Dog

The OG Pro 2 is made of soft and body-safe silicone in a minty turquoise green. It comes with a charging cable, instruction leaflet, warranty card, some fun stickers, and a purple satin storage bag.

OG Pro2 clitoral vibrator G-spot vibrator suction toy

The toy is USB rechargeable, but the remote control requires a CR2032 battery (included.) The OG Pro 2 is fully waterproof, which makes it easy to clean as well as bath or shower friendly.

Controls and Interface

The OG Pro 2 features a two-button interface on the toy and also comes with a two-button remote control. They work in broadly the same way: one button controls the internal vibrations, the other controls the clitoral sucker.

Clitoral suction toy from OG Pro2

As I often say, I would have liked two-way controls. It’s frustrating having to scroll through all the settings to get back to the one you like. The buttons are responsive, easy to press, and intuitively located on the back of the external arm of the toy. However, I do appreciate being able to control the two motors separately.

When I have the OG Pro 2 inserted, it’s easier to use the remote control rather than the buttons on the toy itself. The remote control is small and light.

Tracy’s Dog OG Pro 2 Clit Sucker: In Use

I’ll admit that I was a little skeptical about this toy. Dual stimulation toys are very hit and miss for me generally. So how did the Tracy’s Dog OG Pro 2 fare in use?

Tracys Dog OG Pro2 dual sex toy

Full disclosure: I don’t like internal vibrations. The internal motor has a reasonable level of power, though it’s pretty buzzy, but I quickly realised I enjoyed this toy more when I kept it switched off. The vibrating arm has 3 constant speeds and 7 vibrating patterns.

Though internal vibrations are not really for me, I do like the shape of the OG Pro 2’s insertable portion. It was a gentle curve and a ridged underside. The bulbed head also helps it to stay in place. That means this toy has one major thing to recommend it: I can actually use it hands-free! It stays in place far better than I expected.

The clit sucker portion of this toy has 10 escalating speeds. Personally, the lower five speeds are too gentle to do much for me. But if you prefer gentler stimulation or a slower warm-up, they might suit you just fine. I like to start with speed 6 or 7, and then slowly ramp up and finish at 9 or 10.

Something to be aware of: the clitoral stimulator nozzle is pretty small. If you have a larger clitoris or prefer to have more of your clitoral area covered by the nozzle, this might be an issue for you.

Verdict

A mixed bag, but better than I expected. My body is pretty picky about dual stimulation toys, so I didn’t think this one would do much for me. The internal motor was pretty disappointing. But the good shape, flexible design, and quality clitoral stimulator were all pleasant surprises!

The Tracy’s Dog OG Pro 2 retails for $59.99.

[1] Yeah I’m baffled by this company name, too. Check out their Youtube channel. It is delightfully bizarre.

[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:

Lovehoney Womanizer ROMP Switch sex toy packaging

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] 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, 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 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.

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.
