Whenever the folks at Fun Factory come out with a new toy, you can bet it’s going to go on my sex toy wish list. I love their stuff and am very rarely disappointed. While I have about 4000 bullets like the Fly Micro Vibe, I just had to try it out!
The best thing about it is that, like the majority of Fun Factory’s products, the sleeve is made out of really nice medical grade silicone. The bullet can be removed and then the sleeve can be sterilized for safety’s sake. One tip I would recommend is applying a drop or two of water-based lube to the bullet before insertion each time. It’ll make the bullet easier to remove when it’s time to boil the sleeve. There aren’t a ton of bullet style vibes like this that are so well made, so paying a few extra bucks is certainly worth it, in my opinion.
This toy runs on three micro-batteries, which are included. It’s not the most powerful vibe in the world, but it does the job and you have to appreciate any toy that’s ready to go right out of the box. There are three levels of intensity, the first barely registers for me, but options are always a good thing, especially with a small toy like this.
Another thing I dig about the Fly Micro Vibe is that it’s completely waterproof. I’ve used it in the shower a bunch and haven’t had any issues at all. It’s put together really well, so I never had any doubts as to whether or not it would stand up to a good soaking.
If you’re the type of person who can’t get off with anything but a Hitachi, this is not the toy for you. If you’re like me, and love what a bullet vibe can add to a night of debauchery, you should definitely check this one out. I think it’s especially good for those of you who live in a house full of people who don’t need to know you’re getting off. It’s discreet, quiet and a great reason to take a long bath!
Add this high-quality vibe to your toy chest today!

Let me just come out and say that I have been lusting after Lelo’s Gigi for at least a year. I’ve read so many good things about this little rechargeable vibe and I super love Lelo, so I just had to get my hands on my very own! Thanks to Babeland, I can now cross another toy off my wish list because I am now the proud owner of this high-end vibrator.
I hate to do this, but the best way to start off describing the Gigi is to say it’s freaking adorable. At 6.5 inches long (4.5 insertable) it fits in the palm of my hand quite nicely and the 3.5 inch diameter is a great for newbies who are trying to get to their g-spot, not train for the DP Olympics. The most notable thing about this vibrator is head, which is designed to seek out your g-spot without much effort.
The insertable end is made from medical grade silicone and can be sterilized by wiping it down with a 10 percent bleach solution. It’s quite firm and very smooth, which when combined with the diminutive size and some water-based lube, makes insertion a breeze. The flatish head also makes it great for external stimulation because it’s really easy to focus the vibrations wherever you’d like.
I’ve used this toy a bunch of different ways already and see myself reaching for it often. Whether I’m using it for g-spot massage or clitoral stimulation combined with my Pure Wand, it’s pretty damn awesome.
Like all Lelo toys, the Gigi comes with a couple of storage options. I keep mine in the fancy black box that provides storage space for the charger underneath the tray, but there is also a white satin pouch if you prefer something that takes up a little less space.
My only complaint would have to be the control panel. This toy is operated by a single round button that has an X on it to help guide you. Press the left and right buttons you scroll through the seven speeds – the up and down buttons take you through the five function buttons. It seems pretty simple, but I have changed the function when I’ve wanted to change the speed enough times to mention it here. Of course, it is complicated even further when you factor in lube…
Despite that one small issue, this is still a really great vibe. It’s perfect for those of you who are just starting out with g-spot stimulation because it really takes all of the guess work out of it. I’m guessing those of you with a lot of toy experience don’t really need me to convince you that this is a great toy – you probably know enough about Lelo to have figured that out!
Get your own Gigi – it’s currently on sale but the low price won’t last!

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.

Thanksgiving is here and we are ready to celebrate! Sure, most people associate the holiday with turkey and pumpkin pie, but we here at HM4Her are all about being thankful for what we have. I guess when you get paid to write about sexin’ all day, you’ve got a lot to be thankful for! While that is on the top of my list, there are a few other things that have really made this year amazing. So, in no particular order, the here are the top few things that I am truly thankful for this year.
Queen Beds
After a long time of sleeping on smaller beds, a queen sized bed has made it’s way into my life and I am in love. Finally, my girl and I can cuddle our faces off for as long as we want, then separate to sleep and never even have to touch each other if we don’t want to. No more “I have an inch til I fall of the bed and you have a mile” bickering! Oh and let’s just say that all that extra room is quite nice when it comes to my other favorite horizontal activities… like watching movies in bed! I am so, so thankful for this lovely new bed (courtesy of my girlfriend moving into a bigger house).
Silicone
Silicone toys rock my world. No matter what shape or size (though Talula, pictured, is my absolute favorite), this material is body safe, tough and comes in such a variety of colors and textures that you could never get bored. It’s freaking amazing! Plus you can boil silicone toys to sterilize them. I don’t know what I like more – that my toys are super clean, or that I get to have a pot full o’ dildos on my stove from time to time. I like to call it Dildo Soup. (I have a special dildo pot too!)
Queer Porn
I don’t know if you guys have noticed, but our queer porn catalog has grown exponentially in the last year and I am seriously thankful for that. It means we get to make sure that the way we fuck is represented on the site and that we can offer the best queer porn out there to people all over the world. We’ve got so many amazing new movies up on the site that I barely know where to start, but here are some of the ones I’m most thankful for:
NoFauxxx Roulette (pictured above)
Butch Boi Lansing Raw
Seven Minutes In Heaven: Coming Out
Belladonna’s Strapped Dykes
Lesbian Life – Real Sex NYC
Crash Pad Series – Episode 10: Vai’s Solo
My iPhone
I know, I know, it’s kind of obnoxious to be thankful for my stupid phone, but I went through the most annoying freelance editing experience ever to make the extra funds to indulge my techy side. Four words for you: gay, vampire, teen, novel. Enough said? Ug. I love my phone and I am thankful for it. Plus I got an app that turns it into a “massager.” Woohoo!
Pure Wand
Ok, I got this steel bad boy back in spring of ‘08, so technically it doesn’t count as something new this year, but every time I go within 2 feet of the pretty black box that houses my Pure Wand, my knees go weak. Still, nearly two years later. So, I think it’s safe to say that I am just as thankful for this 1.5 lb steel wand than I was the first day it landed on my desk. And, if I ever get njoy’s Eleven, I’ll probably be so thankful that I’ll build a shrine and make ritual sacrifices from my toybox. Anyway, these steel toys are so awesomely hot. Thank you njoy!
Of course, I’m thankful for my family, my rad girlfriend and my friends as well. I know I’ve got it good and I enjoy celebrating all the stuff that keeps me happy and healthy. So, thanks to all the great people in my life too!
Happy Thanksgiving!
xoxo

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!

I like toys that are versatile and as soon as I got my hands on this little vibe my mind started racing with the possibilities. It’s marketed as a g-spot toy, but there was no doubt in my mind that it would end up in my ass with a flared base like that!
Let’s start off with the details. This is the smallest version of the G-Play and perfect for beginners. It’s made out of high-grade silicone that is phthalate-free and can be sterilized by wiping it down with a ten percent bleach solution. This small toy is 3.5 inches long with a circumference of just 2.5 inches. It’s really not much bigger than my pointer finger and has a thought out curve that fits well with my body.
The vibrator is pretty simple and runs on one AAAA battery, which is included. It hasn’t run out of juice yet and hoping it lasts a while, since I’ve never seen a AAAA battery in my life. There’s only one speed, and while it’s not super powerful, it definitely adds a new dimension to the toy that I appreciate.
When it comes to performance, I have to say I’m happy with this toy and love it’s versatility. I’ve used it vaginally and anally, and while it’s not something I’d grab for a quick O, it’s a lot of fun to just wear while fooling around. It also really added to my orgasms and who am I to complain about that. I thought it was great for anal play and is currently my go to anal toy. I’m not big into hardcore anal, but do realize a little extra stim goes a long way!
The Nexus G-Play is definitely a toy that should be considered by every one. I’m not a dude, but I’m guessing that it would be great for men who are interested in anal play and p-spot stimulation and are looking for a small toy to get started with. Of course, if you’re a seasoned veteran, you can get the same smart design in bigger sizes – medium and large.

Reviewing sex toys is a great way to explore new frontiers and expand your sexual boundaries, something I love doing, so I went in an unusual direction for myself and picked the Stranger II by Fun Factory for this particular review. I’m not usually a great fan of the insertable type toys, but I reason that’s simply because I haven’t found just the right one to rock my world yet and unlike with dates (and certain vegetables), I’ll try anything once. Actually when it comes to sex toys, I insist on trying it way more than once, because I reason I didn’t like my favorite vibe the first time out of the box either.
Speaking of boxes, when this one came in the mail I was in for a bit of a shock. It was right about then that I started to suspect I’d bitten off more than I could chew. Because boxed up, the Stranger II was almost as long as my forearm! Out of the box and still nearly as long as my arm, the Stranger II is supposedly 6.75 inches long which is a little longer than your average guy is likely to be endowed. Luckily my Stranger also has a gently tapered head and a soft pliable silicone body, so I wasn’t running for cover just yet; even if my mind was screaming ‘are you kidding me, it’s 9 inches if it’s anything!’
The Stranger, like most vibrators is pretty simple to operate, just turn the dial at the base to increase or decrease the vibrations as well as turn the device off and on. The only complex part of the Stranger’s design is where to put the batteries. I actually had to get the instructional booklet out for that one. Turns out that in order to put batteries in the Stranger, you first have to squeeze either side of the base to get to the compartment, not unlike some safety caps on pill bottles. Now’s a good time to mention that I hate safety caps – if you have any kind of problems with your hands, they are absolutely impossible to get off.

While I enjoy sex toys with fancy lights and sounds and extra vibrating bits as much as the next person, when it comes to wanting to know that I’m going to get off, there are a few staples in the toy box that I always go to first. For me, one of those basics is a good, flared-based silicone dildo, like the Sedeux Flare.
Part of the foundation of a complete toy box, in my opinion, a simple dildo like the Sedeux Flare, that’s straightforward and to the point is the perfect toy for both partnered and solo sex. It can be slid into a harness and used to fuck like a champ, or directed by hand – either yours or another’s, and held firmly by its base. The Flare is great because it is made of beautiful red pearl 100% silicone, which can be both cleaned and sterilized easily (boil for 3 mins, or put in dishwasher – top rack, no soap). Because it’s silicone, the Flare is also phthalate free – a must have for anything that’s goin’ near my girly parts. Phthalates are plastic softeners that some companies use to make their toys more pliable and are generally not that great for your body, but 100% silicone is hypoallergenic, non-porous and totally phthalate free.

Since I’m a big fan of g-spot toys, I couldn’t pass up the chance to review this dildo from Ophoria, a company that is new to me, but seems to be everywhere lately. I don’t know a lot about them, but appreciate the fact that they’ve created an intriguing line made from 100% pure silicone.
Ophoria’s Beyond #3 is a 9 inch silicone toy with a serious g-spot curve. I was a little surprised how rigid it is, especially compared to some of my other toys, but have to say that this works to its advantage. While 9 inches sounds like a fairly big toy, the diameter is pretty average at 1.75 inches and it’s definitely not a BIG toy. Of course you’ll want to lube up, and since it’s made from silicone, you should never use a silicone lube. It’s also great for sharing, since pure silicone toys can be sterilized by boiling or the other usual methods.
When it comes to getting down and dirty, I have to say I was really impressed with this toy. It’s hard not to compare it to Fun Factory’s Curve, and I have to say, I think the Beyond #3 is better. Although a lot of people don’t like the Curve, I think it’s a pretty good toy. However, I can see a couple of flaws in it that don’t exist in this Ophoria dildo. It does a great job of g-spot stim, fills me up and I love the way the raised rings on the shaft feel. I also love the handle of this toy, which ensures you’ll stay in control no matter how slippery things get!
Ophoria also claims that this is a great toy for anal play, but it’s a little out of my league, so I can’t vouch for that myself. Just something to keep in mind for those of you who went there first!
Overall, I can recommend this toy to anyone who’s looking for a quality g-spot toy. I’m definitely going to keep Ophoria in mind when it comes time to add another sex toy to my collection!

Never a company to rest on their laurels, Fun Factory’s Bloomy is just the latest in a line of innovative sex toys from one of my favorite companies. When this pink plug first showed up on my doorstep, I have to admit I wasn’t exactly sure what to do with it! I mean, I had ideas, but I wanted to make sure I got my money’s worth when it came down to getting off.
The brilliance of the Bloomy is that it is a pretty versatile toy. My first thought was “butt plug,” but once I got it out of the packaging, I realized that this toy had potential for vaginal use also. But before I get to the dirty stuff, the details.
The Bloomy is a made from phthalates-free silicone and a little more pliable that I expected. It’s also non-porous and can be sterilized by the usual methods. I really love that it can be sterilized because it that means I can take advantage of the many uses of this toy without covering it with a condom. As long as it’s cleaned in between uses, you’re good to go!
The shape of this toy is unique to say the least. It’s pretty obvious that it’s meant to resemble a flower in some sort of abstract way. Besides looking different, each curve and loop was designed with pleasure in mind. For example, the small ring at the base functions as a handle, but can also be used to insert a bullet vibe in order to add a little buzz to your session! The small extension off of that loop provides the toy with the flared base that is necessary for butt play, but also found my clit perfectly when inserted vaginally! The folks at Fun Factory weren’t just being whimsical when they created the Bloomy.
Personally, I preferred this toy for vaginal use with the bullet vibe inserted. The curve nestled the head of the toy right against my g-spot and the small extension I mentioned earlier hit my magic button for some hot dual stimulation. I personally thought that it was a bit too pliable for anal play because it tends to bend and twist a little. Of course, I should say that I’m no anal expert and others might find this to be a plus.
Overall, this is a really cool toy that’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. It’s a well-crafted toy that will definitely mix things up in the bedroom.
