When the great people over at Vixen Creations went; “We’re gonna send one of our fabulous toys for you guys to review. Have a great weekend!”, – I was like ‘eh?!’… I mean; have you guys seen the selection of great mother *blip*ing dildos they have? I mean, seriously?
So I thought long and hard and found a few I really liked and one that definitely caught my eye. – And begged asked very politely… I guess they have a soft spot for people with no grammar skills whatsoever, because I got exactly what I wanted!
That Vixen Creations make great dildos is just stating facts. I guess you could ask every sex toy reviewer out there for top 5 lists of silicone toy makers, and Vixen Creations would be on 9 out of 10 of them… – But since this is our first Vixen dildo, we wanted to try and forget all that, and really see how well this dildo actually performs. And trust me; we were very thorough *cough*.
But first things first: The VixSkin Raquel is just plain wonderful. At 8½ inches in length, where 7½ is insertable, and 1½ inches in diameter, it’s not only the perfect medium sized dildo; but the larger 3 inch flared base makes the dildo perfect for harness-play as well. The head is pronounced, but not too big, and will offer you – and give you – some seriously amazing g/p-spot stimulation, I kid you not!
Now the VixSkin itself is a trade mark secret of a pure medical-grade silicone that’s soft and squishy and scrumptiously awesome. It’s made by molding a softer outer layer over a firmer inner core, making the two layers come together makes the dildo feel real, lifelike and will probably be as close to the real thing as you’ll ever get.
Even with the firm core though, Raquel is still a floppy toy that bends easily to pressure, – so you can bend it in an arch if you want to, but you’ll still feel the core as firm vs. the outer squishy layer.
But to begin with my OH actually looked at the round see-through tube the Raquel came in and went; “I thought it would be bigger…”, and I could almost see and hear a note of disappointment in her voice. After the usual look at each other when we get new toys, and the following chase to the bedroom to see who gets to ‘receive’ first (a chase she won… again), we fondled the VixSkin for a while. – Trying to get a feel for just what kind of animal we were dealing with here. I went down on her a while, making her hot, wet and ready before slobbering up Raquel with some lube and went to work. – A water-based lube is essential here of course, Raquel being silicone and all.

There’s nothing better (in a sex toy reviewer sort’a way anyways) than finding a cool, different and seriously alluring toy to play with. – And oh my God did I ever find one! The G-Pops have been around for a while, even gotten a little attention in the sex toy blogosphere, but nowhere near what it deserves…
The G-Pop we received was a Red 1.5”, and should I make guess right off the bat here; I would guess that one to be their bestseller as well. They come in beautiful and artistic glass, several semi stone types, stainless steels and a bunch of sizes as well, so there’s certainly something for everyone and every occasion. Let’s face it; it would be a fun gift. – But for this review, let’s stick with the one we actually received.
Though it might look more like a lollypop than a sex toy, it’s made exclusively by Steel Vineyards, and most definitely meant to be an insertable sex toy of deepest pleasure. Any which way you look at it though; it looks like a lollypop, or a long-handled stick with a ball on the end of it. – And in all fairness, that’s precisely what it is… Well, the last part anyway.
However, being what it is; first impressions will sometimes play tricks on you more than you realize. – Hell, if you’ve been doing this as long as I have, that’s more often the case than not.
Now, the “stick” – or “rod” – itself is about 11¾ inches and made from raw brushed stainless-steel, and it has a rubber “glove” – or “handle” – on the end of it. – Presumably to give you a better grip, which is definitely needed when it’s all coated in lube, juices and what not. It’s a nice addition but also a slightly badly executed one. – The glove has a tendency to simply slide off the steel rod. It could just be something intended, to simply be able to wash and clean everything, but I doubt that… In my opinion; it’s not the best during the show when you lie there trying to achieve orgasm and the handle pops off. – Pun intended.
The ball is also made from stainless steel, and ours is 1½ inches in diameter. The ball itself is hollow on the inside and painted with a red, slightly sparkling coating on the outside. It’s a deep red and a really vibrant tone too. – I really like it, it’s… well, cool. – Like a Ferrari or something. (Hey, I’m a dude okay!). I have no idea what the coating is made from, but presumably it’s something human-safe. – I do know it’s durable as hell; even after several trips in the dishwasher – top rack – it’s still as vibrant and pretty as it was the day we got it.

Ever since I received the amazing Candy Colored Glass Dildos from Standard Glass I have been searching for a cool, safe and secure storage option for them. And I actually ordered a couple of custom-made pouches through wusketeer on etsy. – Before they arrived though, the swell gang over at LoveHoney flung open the doors to their Summer Lovin’ Sale and… well, there was at least one item I just couldn’t steer clear of…
For Your Nymphomation (FYN) is a collection of storage cases designed to store condoms, pads and tampons, adult toys and novelties and anything else that an individual would like to keep private. And having been doing this for quite a while, I know the reputation of FYN cases is a good solid one. – Never have I owned one though, and what better chance yadiyadi and so on. – Basically I just wanted a cool case worthy a couple of incredible glass toys.
In the collection from FYN is the 10 Incher, and on paper it was a match made in heaven… – Or at the very least sort’a in that neighborhood. The case is designed with good quality faux leather, water resistant nylon linings that easily wash up with soap & water, and glow-in-the-dark zipper pullers (so you can find your case in the dark “in the heat of the moment”, – as the ad so fittingly phrased it.
I can easily attest to the good quality faux leather. – When the package arrived with the cases, it very much looks and feels like the real deal. Soft as leather that’s been worn and worked over time, and just really looks great. The black color I chose is rich as the pigment would be on leather that been properly saturated. – It’s just a really nice looking little case.
The FYN collection was created thinking of the privacy of people, particularly parents, college students, and for people who live with roommates and so on. – So all cases come with a tiny little padlock and 2 keys for privacy. I wasn’t after privacy though, and to be honest; I don’t give much for the lock they ship the cases with – which everybody with a toothpick could pry open. But then again, if you were dead set on keeping your family jewels in there, it would be a small matter buying a better lock. It’s a nice little feature though. – I would like to mention the unique feature of how the hardware on the zippers slide together with a small hole through which a lock can be slipped, that’s pretty cool!

I guess everybody knows the Queen bee of vibrators, the Hitachi Magic Wand is known as the most powerful vibrator on the planet, offering orgasms so intense, many actually ‘train’ their privates by placing the vibe over their clothes. But with its big, bulky shape and plug-in power, getting off can be a bit of a hassle. – Which is why companies high and low have tried – with the occasionally ‘close to’ stamp – to make a rival to the throne. – More often than not though; failing miserably in the attempt.
How do you even compete with an immense success like the Magic Wand? – A favorite of women around the world? Well, most companies probably wouldn’t even dare speculate, but if push comes to shove, who better to try than the company that actually made the Hitachi Magic Wand in the first place. And with that, please meet the Mystic Wand.
The amazing girlz over at Sh! Women’s Erotic Emporium – the women run, operated and owned empire for all ladiez out there – was kind enough to ship us this new Princess bee of female ejaculation for a review. At least that’s what the new Mystic Wand is supposed to be…
So then, still made by California based Vibratex, a now well-respected company. – Actually they were probably – or originally – best known for bringing the very popular Rabbit type vibes from Japan to the US market. And still most of the company’s products are of the weird and creepy (to me at least) anthropomorphic Rabbit style and in transparent pastels, so the Mystic Wand really stands out in its functional, no-nonsense design.
First off; it’s a smaller, lighter and all around new-and-improved version of the Magic Wand. The wand again boasts a big, round and soft bulbous head for stimulating soft sensuous and erotic areas, or just simple pleasant massage, – intimate or not. It’s coated with an easy to clean silicone, offering six different speeds and pulsations with flexible positioning via its flexible neck. – The bulbous vibrating head is attached to the body of the toy, where the lights and power button live, via a bendable and rotate-able joint.
I was actually really impressed by the toy when I first took it out of the packaging; The silicone head feels silky smooth, and the handle is better sized for a woman’s hand than the unwieldy Magic Wand. – Making it easy to grip and maneuver… And it’s a reasonable length as well… The complete specs are: Length, 8¼ inches, Girth 5¾ inches and Diameter 1¾ at its widest point.

I have to get it out there right away; this is bigger than it appears, but a hell of a lot easier to get in than it appears.
Look; I know, falling under the spell of a toy so simple is almost blasphemous after having reviewed… well, God knows how many sex toys… – But it just goes to show that when it comes to the largest Godebuster butt plug – in the collection of three sizes of Godebusters from Love 2 Love – you are definitely on the right track if you want a toy that delivers in more ways than one – without having to take out a second mortgage in the process!
The Godebusters are made of soft-yet-firm 100% cured silicone. And it feels and looks great – You know that soft outer layer feel but firmer inner core thing that the O2 range from Tantus or VixSkin from Vixen Creations seems to have patents on these days, – but lots of companies actually make… yeah, just like that. It really feels terrific.
Absolutely free of phthalates, latex, toxins and everything else harmful you’ll find in cheaper jelly or similar toys. – Which obviously makes for an extra star in any review, and so it does with the Godebuster. – No bloody way should having a good time in the bedroom be unsafe or risky for your health.
This firmer core in the Godebuster actually makes this an easy plug to insert, – considering the quite large circumference of 5 ¼ inches. Not only does the smooth surface of the Godebuster alone – tapered as it is – make it an easy plug to insert. But a dollop of good water-based lubricant and you’ll hardly notice that you are dealing with a plug, which could otherwise easily be considering for the advanced crowd only. I was actually quite surprised; I have plugs in approx. the same size and though using them the same way, the easiness with which this one goes in… well, you’d think you were going at it with one quite a few sizes smaller.
But I’m getting ahead of myself; after I unpacked the plug and gave it a good wash, I headed for the bedroom. Just for starters I wanted to see how good the suction of the base was, so I tried it out on more or less anything on my way. – From walls to doors, windows, tiles, wooden floor, tables and so on, and in every case the suction was strong, and definitely powerful enough to make the plug a good one if you plan on being by yourself.
