This time around I was feeling the need for sensual selfishness of the highest order, so I was overjoyed to get a bath time toy like Bath Therapy from System JO. Marketed as an aromatherapy bathing experience, Bath Therapy comes in a variety of three different scents that can perk you up or put you down after a weary day, depending on which you choose.
As lavender makes me sneeze and I can’t see lemon as being soothing or perking (though it might have induced me to try gobbling large quantities of soap), I chose peppermint. Unfortunately other than the scent, I don’t have much more to say about the ingredients contained in System JO’s products. While I know the company professes to use natural plant based ingredients and essential oils, I couldn’t find a list of them anywhere I looked - neither on the bottle nor online later. Apparently System JO has a habit of not listing their ingredients in any of their products, which I find troubling. Hopefully I haven’t been bathing in happy little skin mutating carcinogens.
While it’s probably one of the most cliché clichés of all time, it is in fact true that necessity really is the mother of invention. When it all boils down to it, all the greatest ideas have been born out of a specific need to be filled. And sometimes that need is purely to have hotter sex. Amen to that!
In what I assume was an epic battle of wanting to fuck longer vs. having tired legs from holding them up and out for long periods of time, the sex sling was born! A simple strap that keeps your legs up and open, the Sex Sling is the perfect accessory for extending the action into the wee hours! Read the rest of this entry »
I hate shaving. I really cannot express how much I hate taking sharp implements to tender bits. In grown hairs are a plague, re-growing hairs are an itchy nuisance, then the decision – do I grow it back out or keep keeping it off because it’ll stop the itch? I’ve tried side stepping the whole shaving issue with waxes, but I get the same problems, in grown hairs, itchiness, for some reason I seem to be allergic to the wax, so I break out and it never seems to last a week. I moved onto epilating which works better than both shaving and waxing for me, but is about 20x’s slower to do and equally more painful (try tweezing the last few hairs inside your lips sometime – yeah my eyes well up just thinking about it).
So I’m always on the lookout for something to help me with my hair problems, always ready to jump on the next potential helpful product that promises to sooth or smooth quickly and painlessly (I’ve even tried sugaring – I don’t recommend it) and when I heard about Coochy Protection, I had to give it a shot. Thanks to my continued ill health (and the onset of winter laziness) I was sporting a rather thick coat of winter wool with little hope or likeliness of getting out the ol’ epilator any time soon, so I decided to put this soothing spritz to the ultimate test – shaving.
While some sex toys are purely for pleasure, there are others that are designed to both feel awesome on your most sensitive bits, as well do wonders for your health and physical wellness. One of these fabulous multi-tasking toys is the Kegel exercisers.
Originally created to work a woman’s pubococcygeus (or PC) muscle, which is otherwise known as the Kegel muscle, by being inserted into the vagina and gripped by the muscles, these toys just so happen to feel pretty amazing as well. Kegel exercisers come in a bunch of shapes, sizes, and weights. Two of the most popular options in muscle strengthening sex toys are the barbell exercisers and the ball exercisers. And one awesome option in ball exercisers is Fun Factory’s Smartballs. Read the rest of this entry »
I have to admit that before the Liberace came into my hands, I firmly placed myself in the ‘virginal but curious’ category of anal play. I’d experimented, licked, fingered, tingled and played, but not really explored the depths of my back hole very far. So this nubby little silicone toy was a whole new territory for me.
To be really, really, honest – I think I enjoyed the toy’s silicone makeup more than the play sessions themselves. It’s the first pure silicone toy in my personal collection and I’ve heard all kinds of awesome stuff about silicone’s magical cleaning abilities, so first thing I did was take it home, boil a big pot of water and drop it in (followed shortly by me walking away from the stove, forgetting about it and nearly burning a hole in my pot, but that’s another story for another day). Not only did my brand new Liberace magically resist turning into a puddle of useless goo and ruining my pan in the process, but it got nice and warm (hot, hot, hot – then warm when it cooled a bit), which was certainly a big bonus and step above my other (colder) toys.
I’ve been lusting after one of these softskin dildos for a while, so when Tulip offered me the chance to review the Bette Softskin from Vamp, I jumped on it.
At just 5.5 x .75 inches, this is a pretty small dildo, so it’s really great for beginners, anal and, thanks to the great base, strap-on sex. It’s made from super softskin 100% platinum-cured silicone, which is a really great material that feels amazing. It’s soft to the touch, but firm enough to control with precision and definitely gets the job done. Of course, you can sterilize it by placing it in boiling water for a few minutes, which means it’s both sexy and safe for sharing!
There are a couple things about this dildo that really stand out for me, besides the amazing feel of Softskin. The curve is really great for g-spot stimulation, especially when combined with a harness. I’m guessing it also is really good for p-spot stim and it’s definitely sized for beginner’s anal sex.
Another thing I really love about this toy is the octagon base. It’s extra thick, which keeps it nice and secure in a harness no matter how frantic the action gets. This may seem like a silly thing to point out, but it’s a small thing many companies may not consider that makes this product stand out.
The only thing I would suggest you consider before picking up this dong is the size. It’s pretty small, so if you’re an experienced player who’s looking for a little more size, you may want to consider one of Vamp’s larger Softskin toys.
I have to say that this is currently my favorite smallish dildo and that I don’t see that changing any time in the near future. It’s really great in a harness, the curve is perfect and it’s made from body safe silicone.
I have a few glass dildos in my arsenal, buy couldn’t pass up the chance to check out another once I saw this hand blown toy. Unlike the rest of my collection, this one is completely unique since it’s handcrafted and I think that’s pretty fantastic!
While this is probably kind of silly, the best thing about mine is that it’s orange. I’m not sure if you’ve looked much, but it’s pretty hard to find orange sex toys, a problem I hope manufactures are working to correct right now. Of course, if it didn’t make my toes curl, I probably wouldn’t feel so fondly about this one!
At about eleven inches long with a maximum circumference of about 1.6 inches, this is a good-sized toy. You should remember that each toy is a little different and from the video I’ve embedded below, you can see that there is a noticeable difference in some.
Between the weight, curve and smooth, hard head of this dildo, it’s one of my favorites for g-spot play. It has all of the same elements that make the pjur wand so amazing, although I still love it the best. This is a great alternative for anyone who is intimidated by the steel wand or that would prefer a more whimsical looking toy.
Of course, glass is a great green material and totally safe for your body. I know some people worry because they can’t get the image of the last juice glass they shattered out of their head, but this dildo is totally sturdy and safe. It’s also non-porous, so it can be sterilized for sharing! Glass is also really smooth, which I absolutely love and great for temperature play.
While this one is a little expensive, it’s really cool to have a toy that no one else in the world has. I suppose it wouldn’t be that rad to have a totally unique toy that left your frustrated or bleeding, but lucky for me the Candy Colored Glass Dildo just left me smiling and spent.
I have a few different dildos, but when I saw the textured shaft of this affordable Doc Johnson toy, I had knew I had to get my hands on it. The good news is that it feels as good as I imagined!
First up, let’s go over glass as a material for sex toys again because, in my opinion, it’s really great. First up, wands made from glass are phthalate-free, non-porous and can be sterilized, so they’re totally body safe. Another thing I enjoy about them is that they are perfect for temperature play. Finally, I personally love the smooth texture of glass, it feels amazing all over my body.
Now about my latest acquisition – the Awesome Blossom. This is a pretty standard sized toy at almost 8 inches long with a circumference of 4.25 inches. There’s a distinct head that’s super smooth, which I really like because it’s a great contrast to the swirled shaft. Speaking of the shaft, let me tell you that those green swirls are not there for looks. I love the subtle texture and think it really makes this wand stand out in the crowd.
I also wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t highlight the cute flower that’s found in the clear glass head. This five petal blossom is orange and white and a really nice touch. Between it and the green swirls, this toy looks almost as good as it makes me feel. Toys don’t have to look amazing to do their job, but it’s nice to see this gorgeous piece of glass up against my partner’s skin.
Because you can sterilize it and it has a flared base, the Awesome Blossom is great for sharing and can be used for anal penetration. My only suggestion is that you go easy if you’ve never used a glass toy before. It’s really hard and therefore a bit unforgiving if you thrust it into someone’s cervix or any other tender bits. If you’re looking for a dildo that’s great for frantic fucking, I suggest you go with something a bit softer!
Overall, this is a great dildo at a pretty reasonable price. With proper care, it’s made to last a lifetime and would make a really great gift!
Silicone really is the greatest sex toy material ever. I know we’ve gleefully gone on and on about the wonders of silicone here at HM4Her, but how can we not when we know something is totally worth raving about!?! I mean really, what’s not to love? So it’s no wonder that I get a thrilling little twinge of excitement (in my pants, obviously) every time that I get a new silicone toy to test. And lucky me, it happens more often than not.
This time it was Leo that landed on my desk. This Vixen Creations dildo is a stunner, with a little extra length (7 1/8”) and a whole lot of attitude. A realistic glans, defined ridge and slight curvature give Leo a bit of true to life charm, while fun colors and ultimate smoothness keep him just the right amount of whimsical. For me, this is the perfect marriage – no animal shapes or cutesy faces, but no veins or balls either. You can get him in a “fleshy” vanilla hue, but I definitely prefer the solid black model that I found sitting next to my stapler. Read the rest of this entry »
Another day, another silicone toy to review… Fortunately for me, Jollies’ Thrust is totally different than any other sex toy I’ve ever gotten my greedy mitts on. I was definitely looking forward to trying out this unique looking dildo for obvious reasons, but there was a little extra thrill associated with the fact that this is my first Jollies experience. They are a company that makes really popular, safe and innovative toys out of platinum based crystal clear silicone and I was itching to experience what everyone has been talking about!
Just one look at the ergonomically designed Thrust and I knew I was in for a treat. This dildo may look a little weird, but it hits all of the right spots thanks to those thoughtful curves. It is 8.5 inches long (6.5 insertable) with a pretty modest 1 3/8 inch diameter. While some people may prefer a little more girth, I think it’s sized perfectly for the design.
When used vaginally I found that this dildo is really great for g-spot massage and, thanks to the distinct curve, it’s almost foolproof! As long as I didn’t try to “thrust” it too deeply, it feels amazing. Another feature I really love is the hole near the base that can be used as a handle or to turn it into a vibrator. After inserting a bullet vibe, I found myself blown away by the combination of g-spot and clitoral stimulation!
Thanks to the handle and flared base, this toy can also be used for anal play and I’ll group it with the other toys I assume would do a great job stimulating the prostate. I wish my girl and I could confirm this for readers, but sadly we just aren’t equipped. Because it’s made from medical grade silicone it can be sterilized – which is one of my requirements for any toys that go in my butt!
Finally, the Thrust is harness compatible although I am not in love with it for strap-on play. Of course, that doesn’t mean others won’t love it, so I had to let you know!
This Jollies toy is definitely made to please and I definitely get why everyone loves the company so much. If you’re looking for a well-made and affordable ($46!) toy that stands out in the crowd, this may be the toy for you!
