Review: Tunti Illuminating Boudoir Toybox

Written by Scarlet Lotus St. Syr

All lit up in the dark.

As I mentioned in my last review of The Original ToiBocks I recently spent a few months living with my father. During this time I started really understanding the need for secure and discreet sex toy storage. While I really enjoy the product I reviewed yesterday and these both are toy storage they are also radically different. Well, maybe not radically, but definitely quite different. The Tunti Illuminating Boudoir Toybox is still discreet, but not trying to be a dresser, nightstand, or bathroom item like the ToiBocks. Where the Tunti shines (no pun intended–more on that in a moment) is as a secure and solid transportation and storage device.

The Tunti is hard on the outside and soft on the inside and looks much like an expensive camera case which is actually the base of the design for the toybox. Or perhaps like something James Bond would carry around and whip out a camera, gun, bomb, or some clever gadget from Q. Either way it’s pretty classy. There are no markings on the outside of the box to give away what might be stashed inside of it. It opens with two latches on either side of the handle, both of which lock, and comes with two identical keys (I keep one on my keychain at all times and one in a drawer).

What I love about it probably more than any other feature is the row of LED lights it has on the top side of the case, hence the “illuminating” part of the name of course. These make it very easy to see every inch inside the case, not to mention in a dark or dimly lit room. It’s so easy to find exactly what I’m looking for, and should I need to reach for something in a dark room I don’t have to fumble around or turn on a light to get to it. I like this a lot.

It has a mesh pocket in the top side of the case which I think is perfect for lubes and massage oils (as you can see in the images). A pink plastic divider (shown below but not in the image directly above) separates the top and bottom halves keeping your toys free from mess in case any of the liquid spills. It’s pretty perfect, really, although I would prefer another color for the divider, but that’s not a big deal. The divider is the only place that has any indication of the company you purchased from, so for an added measure of security (if you were to use this case for something other than sex toys, for example, and you didn’t want it to be associated with sex toys) you could not use the divider.

One downside of the divider is it makes it so some toys won’t fit into the case, or the divider will sit unevenly in the case. Basically anything with a large base or body that exceeds approximately 2 1/2?. Many Fun Factory dildos have triangular bases which don’t fit, and anything large won’t fit either. However they can fit without the divider, and most toys aren’t that tall.

The little box at the bottom of the right hand side of the top section of the case holds the batteries for the LED lights, I like how it blends in with the case and doesn’t really look out of place. I would love to have more of these little compartments across the bottom to hold spare batteries as well, I think that would be an excellent addition to the case. The only downside of the illumination and batteries is there is no on/off switch, basically in order to turn off the LED’s while the case is open you have to take the batteries out. Again, this isn’t really a big annoyance, just a minor one, but the battery-saving option of an on/off switch would be nice to have.

Battery compartment!

My other favorite feature, and the one that makes my inner obsessive-compulsive perfectionist squeel with glee, is the ability to customize the layout of the bottom section of the case. The only things that are not customizable are the horizontal divider right in the center and the mesh pocket at the very back. The rest, the three vertical dividers and one horizontal divider, can each be moved around however you see fit, so you can make sure the slots fit the toys perfectly to avoid unnecessary rolling around and the potential to chip glass or mush into unwanted materials such as silicone to TPE.

There are eleven toys. Can you name them all? A lot of these I haven’t reviewed yet.

Because of the mesh pocket at the top it’s easiest to use the vertical dividers on the bottom half of the case, though not impossible to use on the top half. I thought a couple of pictures illustrating a variation would show this best, so as you can see I chose some of the same toys and some different and most of the dividers that can move are in different spots. It is ridiculously easy to use the dividers, just slide them into place in the slots on the sides and they fit in perfectly. The dividers and sides are made of foam, but pretty sturdy stuff, and don’t bend or crease very easily.

Organized slightly differently, now there are fourteen toys.

Because of it’s wonderful portability, stability, and organizational properties I am in love with The Tunti Illuminating Boudoir Toybox. It is definitely my favorite sex toy storage device, though I do have two six-drawer organizers for most of my toys and a few other storage options. Thank you so much Tunti Enterprises for sending me your Illuminating Boudoir Toybox to review!

Lube Review: Sliquid Swirl Blue Raspberry

Written by Scarlet Lotus St. Syr

Sliquid Swirl Blue Raspberry is very similar in texture to Sliquid’s Original H2O with one big difference. As one would guess from the name, this Sliquid lube is flavored. Sliquid Swirl only has two additional ingredients that Original H2O doesn’t: Blueberry & Raspberry flavoring and Aspertame. Unlike many other flavored lubes it actually tastes pretty good.

Like all of Sliquid‘s lubes it is both glycerin- and paraben-free so it is completely body-safe. Why should you care about glycerin and parabens? Well, glycerin is extremely genital unfriendly. It is a sugar derivative and any sugar on or in the cunt can lead to yeast infections, especially in those prone to them. It is also used as a suppository to prevent constipation, in other words it can give you the runs. Definitely not sexy. Parabens are endocrine-disrupting chemicals and can disrupt the reproductive system and are associated with a number of cancers as well as liver toxicity. There are plenty of other evil nasty chemicals in other lubes, especially commercial ones, and Sliquid lubes are happily free of them all.

The lack of glycerin also makes sure the lube will never become sticky. All Sliquid lubes are also hypoallergenic, non-toxic, non-staining, vegan, and compatible with all types of condoms and every sex toy material. They even have an Organics line, but do not currently have any flavored organics lubes.

Other flavored lubes I’ve tried either leave a funny aftertaste or smell divine but lack taste, Sliquid Swirl Blue Raspberry, however, actually both smells and tastes good. The flavoring isn’t overly sweet or overpowering, doesn’t have that weird fake sugar aftertaste despite being made with aspertame, and is a pleasant addition to already wonderful lube.

The only other flavored lube I’ve liked the smell and taste of was incredibly thin so you would have to reapply and reapply and reapply it while using it. Granted, most water-based lubes need to be reapplied at some point in long sessions, but the thicker they are generally the less they need to be. Comparatively, Sliquid Swirl is more like a gel than a watery lube, though they do have a much thicker self-proclaimed gel lube in both regular and organic versions.

Flavored lube is excellent for oral sex of any kind, especially if you are planning on any oral to genital contact post or during penetration. There are actually three other Sliquid Swirl flavors, Cherry Vanilla. Green Apple, and Pina Colada. Now I want to try all four!

Much thanks to Trystology for letting me review Sliquid Swirl Blue Raspberry!

Vibrator Review: Nomi Tang Better Than Chocolate

Written by Scarlet Lotus St. Syr

Now, I am an avid chocolate fanatic, but I was still underwhelmed with the name of Nomi Tang, Better than Chocolate in general, as if chocolate would automatically win over normal vibrators? Sorry, no, I would choose getting off over chocolate just about any day of the week barring soreness or other impeding factors. The name aside I was intrigued by it’s ability to be used in a shower or bath and the innovative control strip used to set the vibration pattern. Unlike other reviewers I was able to get off with it and therefore it has strong enough vibrations for me, but being able to get off with it is only one part of the puzzle.

BtC comes in a small and elegant white box with a slip-cover and reminds me very much of other luxury toy packaging such as LELO or Njoy. The toy is presented well in the box, nestled in a divider and includes a product manual and white velvety bag beneath it. The storage bag is a little strange for the toy, in my opinion, the drawstring is on the long side rather than the short side of it and barely larger than the toy itself, which makes it odd to close.

The controlls of BtC really are fantastic. Instead of buttons or switches like most vibrators it is controlled by a touch strip. Onyx remarked that it’s what Apple would make if they weren’t prudes, of course. Well, it does have one power button on the opposite tip of it’s diamond-like shape which simply turns it on and off, very handy to have and much easier than having to cycle through the vibration patterns like some other toys require you to do.

There is a little Nomi Tang logo on the touch strip which lights up blue when the toy is turned on. A touch to the opposite end of the touch strip and the logo turns red indicating it is locked, and when there is water or lube covering the touch strip the logo turns purple indicating it has auto-locked. A touch over the logo on the strip changes the vibration pattern and depending on the pattern the light blink. By stroking your finger up or down the touch strip when it is not locked you can increase or decrease either the vibration strength or pulse speed depending on the vibration pattern. BtC has three vibration patterns: constant and two pulses.

The manual gives you all of the needed information, such as how to operate the unique controls of BtC, what the different colors mean, vibration pattern information, various tips, and that it can be submerged in water up to one meter (three feet), which is really quite awesome. I have used it in the bath a few times and it had no water or damage to the battery compartment when I did. I did notice some odd behavior when submerged, however. It would occasionally unlock on it’s own while under water even if I had manually locked it, causing the vibration pattern to change mid-use which was mildly annoying.

While I was able to get off with it, as previously mentioned, I wouldn’t say it was nearly as satisfying to play with as other toys. The vibrations just aren’t that strong, though they were stronger than I expected. If you don’t need much in the way of strength, however, you wouldn’t have a problem.

I was really disappointed that a vibrator of this elegant unique design and high luxury-toy price is not rechargeable. It is powered by two AAA batteries which directly contributes to it’s vibration strength or lack thereof. If it was rechargeable (or less expensive) I think that would fix the problems I have with it and make it that much more fantastic of a product.

LELO Tor… cock ring of thunder!

By Amber St. Clare

Introducing Tor. Swedish sex toy manufacturer LELO has come up with their take of the Norse mythological Thor, God of Thunder. You don’t have to be int Greek Mythology to enjoy the roaring thundering vibrations of Tor though, as this cock ring is luxe and functional. The newest addition to the LELO Homme line, LELO Tor boasts 6 vibration modes. Like all Lelo toys, this toy comes packaged in a sleek black Lelo gift box and comes with the limited 1 year warranty and user manual. Upon opening Tor, you’ll find the ring along with a case for it to store the toy when not in use (also perfect for traveling!). Tor is stylish, modern, and pretty sexy looking. Made of smooth black ABS plastic and body-safe TPE, gives the ring a smooth almost silicone-like feeling. The ring comes in two parts, the actual ring, which is firm yet stretchy and will stretch to accommodate a variety of dick sizes, and the top part of the ring, which is where the vibration magic happens. You simply grasp the ring in one hand, and slide the top of the ring on top until it clicks into place. Super easy to set up. On the top of the ring, on the side you’ll notice a + button, to control the vibration. You can browse through all 6 vibration settings to find what works best for you and your lover.Here is the really cool thing though, according to LELO, the Tor has a special “sixth sense” where the toy has a microprocessor which will adapt the vibration to the user’s desires. Not to mention that the toy is rechargeable, which means no fumbling with tiny watch batteries. You can plug Tor into the wall outlet using the charging port and allow the toy to power up, at a full charge it should allow up to 2 hours of use. I had a lot of fun testing out the different vibration settings on this toy, and like most Lelo toys, I really enjoyed the deep resonating feeling from it’s vibrations. I teased Tor on my nipples, down my belly, and across my clit. I found that the vibration control was easy to change with just the click of my thumb. I tried stretching Tor over one of my favorite phallic shaped dildos and it fit nice and snug, without being too tight, and I used the dildo with the added vibration of Tor. Nice! The great thing about Tor is that when having sex with your partner, this cock ring will provide stimulation to both the man and his partner. One of the best cock ring positions seems to be girl on top, to feel the vibration of the toy against the clit as you grinding up and down on top of your mate. You can effectively use it in many positions though, and thats the fun of trying! Not to mention, Tor will help your man hold his erection and can help to prolong the sex by making it take longer to bring the man to climax.

A lot of cock rings on the market today fall short of amazing, but with Tor, I really feel like Lelo is on to something! Their first cock ring Bo as awesome, but I think I like Tor even more. The added functionality of the vibration modes along with the style and design, just make it really ideal in my book. It also comes in two colors, Black and Purple. I like the fact that Tor can be used as a discreet vibrator, and that the toy is small enough to travel with. This toy would be awesome for couples who are looking to prolong their sex sessions or just want to try something new in the sack. Tor is luxurious, and I can’t help but have a huge crush on it. I think this is a toy that men and women alike will enjoy, and one that could easily be used solo or with a partner. A man could wear the cock ring while masturbating if he’d like, and a woman could used the vibrating head of Tor against her clit. So there are fireworks to be made either way. Ladies, if you want some thunder between your thighs during sex…call on Tor.

Fun Factory Paul and Paulina

By PrettyPowerTools

Fun Factory just keeps doing it! They are always coming out with cute toys that don’t scare you like a penis – in your face.Entwining complete cuteness, personality and effective fun to help you Love Yourself; that’s what Fun Factory is all about.

Welcome Paul and Paulina Twist and Shake to the family! These two adorable worms of love have crawled straight out of this pretty, pink, silicone apple to show you all the pleasures that Snow White didn’t get from her apple. Poor girl; she almost died, and not of a pleasure, just poison!

The Twist and Shake is named for its ability to twistingly gyrate your g-spot and shake your clit until you reach your peak.Snow White’s apple had a hidden treat but it wasn’t one worth taking the apple over.Fun Factory’s apple, however, has a set of pleasure beads which Snow White would have traded her apple for in a heartbeat.The beads are hidden under the 100% silicone sleeve of the worms, located in the lower bumps of Paul’s abs.Call it his hidden six -pack, if you choose.Paulina is so close to him, no wonder she shakes.The battery compartment is the silver plastic part at the bottom.The operation is very simple and has a slide-wheel control for each stimulant and a cute push-button for off/on.These cuties are not waterproof, so just give Paul and Paulina a “sponge-bath” with a wash cloth to clean up.

My date with the worms:Very stimulating.I was surprised with the size, once I pulled it out of the box.This thing feels huge. Once the batteries were inside, my mouth dropped because it was such a spectacle to see Paul whirling around in circles.My husband and his friend were in the room and I got loud “WOWs” from them, too.This toy isn’t your typical rabbit vibe that just goes for speed in its “twists”, this really makes sure to complete your inner circle and fill you up in the mean time.I think it’s more important for the range of motion, rather than speed and smaller rotations.This is what sets Paul and Paulina apart from the rest.My only complaints were that the beads could have been a little higher on Paul, so that I could feel more of them, and that the battery case would be sturdier.The battery compartment just feels a little more plasticky than I’d like.One thing that I would like to point out, this is a toy that is made to be what it is.There isn’t a range of motion on Paulina, the clitoral arm/worm.She doesn’t move to adjust to everyone’s sweet spot.No biggie, we are all made differently, and so are our toys.My suggestion is to get down on Paul as much as possible to help Paulina reach if you have this scenario, as I did.(Works like a charm and even drives your vagina crazier, beads move up, everyone is happier.)

In conclusion, this toy is amazing.I don’t know where else you will be able to find such a range of internal motion.It seriously feels like a soothing G-spot massage that slowly builds up the pleasure.Once you reach your orgasm, it’s going to feel as good as the trip that it took to get there.Fun Factory really knows how to navigate your vagina.Thank you to Trystology, the shop of luxuries! Because of your store, I now know what a full-on G-Spot Massage feels like.

Jimmyjane Form 3 Review

By @ Amber St. Clare

Introducing the newest innovative toy from Jimmyjane, the Form 3! The Form 3 is one of the coolest new sex toys I have seen. Similar in design to the Jimmyjane Form 2, the new Jimmyjane Form 3 is also rechargeable, functional, fun, and made of quality silicone and stainless steel. It’s also fully waterproof! This vibe can be submerged in water, which means it can be used in the tub, pool, or any where else your frisky lil heart desires. Like the Form 2, the Form 3 is charged on a charging base that you plug into the wall outlet. Charging is easy and helps to provide a deep resonating powerful vibration through the toy from the base to the tip. Form 3 comes in either a lovely Pink color or a classic Slate color. The bottom of the toy is rounded out, and features the Pleasure to the People logo from Jimmyjane’s design. This is also the stainless steel part of the toy that when placed on top of the plastic charging base, charges your toy. The toy comes with a user manual, a limited 3 year warranty, and charger. The soft supple feel of the silicone feels wonderful on the skin, and this toy works very well with water-based lubricants. This vibrator fits in the palm of the hand, and it features a thick bottom, smooth back, and smooth front, where we find the seamless yet raised detail of the control buttons. This is where you press to turn the toy on and browse through it’s various vibration speeds and vibration patterns. I love this toy on it’s highest setting! Honestly all of the settings are great though, and even the lowest setting packs quite a powerful kick of vibration. The vibrations are deep and feel fantastic anywhere on the body from the toes to the beck to the nipples to the genitals. The motor of the toy resides in the base of the toy, at the handle. On the Form 2, the previous release from Jimmyjane that looks similar to the Form 3 would have rabbit ears for clitoral stimulation, but this is where the Form 3 is different. The Form 3 offers a slightly curved and pliable responsive touchpad. The touch pad is the thinnest part of the toy, you can feel the vibration in the touchpad, and can place it against your entire vulva, position the flat part of the edge of the touchpad against your clit. The cool thing about the touchpad is that by using your finger to gently press the touchpad, it helps it extend so you can reach exactly the spot that works best for you. You can also use it to apply pressure wherever you want it most. This makes this toy so versatile, as you or your lover can press their fingertip into the touchpad and the tip of the finger not only extends the touchpad, but it can offer added stimulation along with the vibration.

This toy is awesome! I love the design, Jimmyjane continues to delight and surprise me with their modern designs. Their toys are both stylish and functional. I also love the power of the motor inside of this toy, it offers amazing stimulation. I loved using the Form 3 on my nipples, over my labia, nestled between my labia, and on my clit. The vibration sent me over the edge more than once, and I also like that this toy is easy to use and change speeds and modes while in use. I also found that the toy is both comfortable to use with or without a finger guiding the touchpad.

Though this toy is similar in design to the Form 2, this is a very different type of stimulation. There are definite assets to both designs, and I definitely have enjoyed adding this new toy to my collection. Can’t wait to see what else Jimmyjane comes up with!

Jimmyjane Form 3: an Intro

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that the new Form 3 is out and I wanted to let you know that I will be doing a review soon, so that I can get all the juicy details to you ASAP!

I had the opportunity to meet Form 3 at the ANME Founders Show back in July, so now that it has been revealed, I shall give you my 1st glimpse! I hope that you enjoy the pics and I hope that you are ready for the revolution. This is a very unique toy that turns your finger into a superhero. It has all the power of a Form 2 but it works in mysterious ways and it has a very durable membrane in the center. I’ve used it in-hand but not in-place, so I can’t tell you how it feels, just yet. I must say, it was fun, though! For the review, I will be working with Trystology, known for their selection of Jimmyjane products, so it’s no wonder that they will be ready with the Form 3 very shortly!

SpareParts Theo and Jollies Jack

As you may remember, I’ve had an amazing experience with a strap-on harness. I am now telling you that this setup totally blew my other gear out of the water.

Let’s start with the Harness. I have the lovely Theo harness by SpareParts, but not just any Theo; I have the sexy pale pink version! It is absolutely customizable (size), it hangs low and it’s sturdier than anything else on the market. This thing can even be machine washed once your sexperiences have concluded. You can’t go wrong with this thing. If Theo were a stand-alone and didn’t have any competitors, you wouldn’t be able to fully understand what you were getting for your money. Thankfully, you can see that many-many women and men are fans of the SpareParts brand and can vouch for the quality of their harnesses. (I am one of them!)

The harness has snaps that help you to customize how you want your fit from front to back. It acts like a thong, basically. I super-love the anatomy of Theo because I can just get off on the sensations of the plush thong rubbing in all the right places during my dildo-course and thrusting. The fit is one way that Theo is set apart from the rest of the SpareParts line. Aside from its thong-like shape, it also has a special pouch, behind the dildo-holder. This compartment will hide the back of your dildo by folding a flap of fabric over it, or you can leave it exposed so that you can feel it at the same time as your partner does. To elaborate on this effect, you can imagine a 2-way dildo and just think of all the Shared fun that you will have. The dildo will be held in place through the ring, yet it can protrude right into you, at the same time because of the nifty compartment. Those were my two deciding factors when I wanted to choose the appropriate SpareParts harness for myself. (Thong-fit and versatile accessibility pouch.

There are so many harnesses on the market that are just flat on the back and they require snap-on rings and Velcro to change the dildo. (AKA stuff that you may lose.) No issues here. Straight, smooth, wielding powers of the Theo make everything SO simple. I can’t get over the features and quality of my sexy harness! I’m set. I’m set for a very long time. I will try to show you more details of its workings in the video! Plus, if pink isn’t your thing, Trystology has many styles to choose from. That shop is amazing at giving you a very desirable selection. (Psst…Check out the Shiri Zinn harnesses too, they are more fashion-oriented instead of utility-based, but there’s no problem having the best of both moods. *wink*) =)

Now, let’s talk about Jack. He’s the man. He is a curved glittery penis of fullness for all the ladies to enjoy. When I say that Jack gets around, it’s no joke. He curves to the left and he does it well. Too bad I don’t know the history on this guy, all I have to judge him by is what I can see and feel. As far as that goes, I must say, he’s damn fabulous. I’m sure he can suit you in other colors if you didn’t prefer my Multi Sparkle Jack…but either way, he’s dressed to please. End of story, Happy Endings. My only negative thing to say about Jack is that the silicone can have a tendency to drag. Now, that’s hardly a negative thing to say anyways, that’s why we use lube! So, just make sure to lube him up, all 1.75” of his girth and you can insert away. His seven glittery inches will be sure to send you to your appropriate heaven. You know; that one where you take baths in glitter and masturbate with diamond dildos…Well, Jack may not be a real diamond, but he will still take you there.

Another cool fact about this dildo is that he is perfect for harnessing. If you take a look above the base, there is a lip, or an indented area that is perfect for settling in the ring of your Theo harness. On the bottom of the dildo, there is a small hole/bullet cave. If you have your own bullet vibrator, you can just shove it in there before or after harnessing (depending on your harness), and then click it on to share the good vibes all the way around during your girl sex or masculine pegging.

Speaking of pegging, that’s just what I did. I pegged my husband again, and I was really able to enjoy it more for myself, since I now I have the Theo harness. I really enjoyed the feeling of the Theo rubbing against my skin with every thrust. Any more pressure and I would have had a partially emotional orgasm from the enjoyment. I keep saying “enjoy”. Damn you, Theo. =) Unfortunately, I didn’t get to use Jack on my hubby for too long, nor too deep. Jack was too much for him, and believe me, I don’t blame him. I would never let Jack have anal with me, either. He’s vaginally manageable and that’s where he’s going to stay…until I have to go to work. Lol. So, with my husband, I switched to a smaller dildo in diameter and I just thrusted away in all kinds of positions. The Theo harness enabled me to treat him like he treats me during sex, and I even had him ride me. Craziness. That tells me that the SpareParts brand has been able to make a product that becomes one with the user. That is something to appreciate. I will no longer have memories of back-pack straps rubbing on my inner thighs from lesser harnesses.

Thank you, Trystology for giving me the formal introduction to my Theo Harness of love, and my new curved pleasure penis of magical glitter. (My gosh, you’d think that more girl-toys would have glitter but they don’t, and that’s why I love Jollies to no end. Highest Glitzy Respect to Jollies!) Please don’t forget, check out Trystology to see all the new stuff!

Cloud 9 Does Exist! A Jollies Luna Review.

Okay, so if you’re here reading, you probably know about my history of taming wild butt plugs like the Big Flirt, as well as my adventures with the Bum Rush Rascal and the Sexy Spade. And then there was my play partner’s experience with the AssBerry Raspberry.

I love my butt plugs. Not gonna lie. They are just… heavenly. Even when they do such annoying things as constantly popping out of me, regardless of how I do or do not lube them, or how much duct tape is stuck across my ass to hold them inside.

But lovelies, I’ve had a revelation! (Yes, it’s of the butt plug-variety.) Jollies’ Luna will take you to the moon and back, and let you linger on Cloud 9 as long as you feel like it. Seriously. A huge thanks to Trystology for providing said-revelation.

Luna comes in all sorts of colors. Mine is clear with multi-colored polka dots suspended inside her 100% premium platinum grade silicone body. What does that mean? Well first, she’s cute as all hell. You heard me right: cute. I called a butt plug cute. (I know, I know; it surprised even me the first time.) But as she was sitting oh-so-patiently on my desk waiting (read: begging) to be reviewed, I couldn’t help but realize how freakin’ adorable she is…

Her base is a fluffy cumulus cloud. And her body snakes and twists in the most unusual of ways. So unusual that I wasn’t sure if she was really the butt plug she’s touted to be. I looked her up-and-down; I cocked my head to the side and tried to imagine her curves inside my ass. And then, well… then I got lost in a fit of giggles because her polka dots really are the best touch ever, and they remind me of sprinkles. And who doesn’t get happy when they think of sprinkles? Hee.

Where were we? Oh, yes. Discussing the meaning of “100% premium platinum grade silicone.” So, not to be too confusing, but you often hear about sex toys that are made of high-quality silicone, but then they come with this warning about not using them with silicone lube. Here’s the kicker, the secret of all secrets: If you really have a toy that’s 100% premium platinum grade silicone like the Jollies’ Luna, you CAN use silicone lube with a silicone toy. The only time you cannot is when the silicone isn’t actually the highest grade.

I love that I can use silicone lube with the Jollies’ Luna. I love that so much that you have no idea because I really can’t express my joy in text. If you saw me right now, I’d be doing a happy dance. Because it’s that awesome. Because the Luna is that awesome. (And then some. But we’ll get to that.)

Now, the Luna is advertised as “blast proof,” and designed as an anal toy comfortable for men or women. What does blast proof mean in English? It means that even when you’re cumming hard, the Luna is not going to go anywhere. She’s not going to sneakily slide her way out of your ass bit by bit as you get more aroused. She’s not going to pop out in one swift motion as your muscles clench, and get shot across the room (possibly taking out a window). She’s going to stay put. In your ass. Exactly where she belongs. A novel idea, I know!

Until I was graced by the awesomeness that is the Luna, I didn’t even know that a blast proof butt plug existed. And let me tell you, ladies & gents, she really is blast-proof, as advertised.

She felt fine upon insertion, as I eased her into my ass, with the help of a favorite silicone lube. Once inside I had the typical oh – my – G-d – she’s – gonna – jump – ship freak-out, but this time it was unfounded. Blame it on residual trauma from taming plugs such as the Big Flirt.

It took me a little while to get used to the feel of Luna. She is definitely shaped differently. In fact, the insertable portion of Luna was molded after an actual rectum. That makes her an anatomically-correct sex toy. And approximated to your anatomy for a comfy, super-snug fit that’s not going anywhere (without being so big that you feel like you’re being ripped into two — ya know, an added feature that I can appreciate!). What will they think of next?

Jollies’ Luna Specs:

Overall Length: 6.5”
Insertable Length: 5.5”
Diameter: 2.75 x 1.75 inch base,
.75” at narrowest point, 1.5” at widest point

I tested the Luna with the mother of all sex toys: The Hitachi Magic Wand. I have to say that it was an unexpected bonus to feel the vibrations applied to my clit traveling all the way into my ass and through the body of the Luna. Yee-haw!

I didn’t have to stop my orgasmic romp to push the Luna back inside of me. In fact, she never moved a millimeter. And that fucking rocks my socks. She gave me that full feeling and subtle pressure that one seeks with a butt plug, without any of the annoyance.

And when I screamed my way to orgasm (again and again), Luna was a good girl, and stayed put. In case you were wondering, yes, that made my orgasms even stronger. Quite.

Drifting into post-orgasmic bliss, it hit me that Luna had introduced me to Cloud 9. And getting there with her is so easy. (And yes, this is a time that easy is a compliment. An incredible compliment.) I fell asleep into a 6-hour nap, and woke up with Luna exactly where I had left her. How awesome is that?

Her fluffy cloud-shaped base makes her a delight to grasp and ease out of your ass, or your partner’s, when so desired.

If there was an award for the most secure butt plug, Jollies’ Luna would win it hands-down.

And butt plug security is rare these days. Too rare. If you’re an anal play aficionado, you need butt plug security. You need the Luna. Click here to get your own from Trystology, and check out their other gorgeous, sexy toys while you’re there!\

P.s. As with all silicone toys, Jollies’ Luna can be boiled or thrown in the dishwasher to sterilize her 100% non-porous, hypo-allergenic, body-friendly body. Hee. You can also wash her with a standard sex toy cleaner, or soap and warm water. Using a 10% bleach solution is yet another option to sterilize her and kill all the ickies. Please wash her immediately before and after each use to minimize risk of infection. She’ll thank you for it, and you’ll both be happier. Trust me! And a friendly reminder, since Jollies’ Luna is 100% premium platinum silicone, you CAN use her with your favorite silicone lube, water-based lube, or hybrid lube.

What Makes njoy Pure Wand Great

njoy pure wand dildo

by Carnivalesq

Thank you to the folks at Trystology for sponsoring this review of nJoy’s Pure Wand, something I have coveted for a long time. This has been a rather challenging review for me to write, so please bear with me. The Pure Wand is both simple and more complex than it looks, as most great things are. It will absolutely find your g-spot, even if you’ve never found it before. The first time I tried it with the larger end inserted, I just lifted the toy upwards (forwards, towards my navel) and was surprised by how easily the large ball slid to find my g-spot. It may take a little bit of playing and experimenting starting out, but believe me, if it’s there, you will find it.

I’m pulling out the bullet list because it’s challenging to organize my thoughts about this.

  • The curved shape and differently sized balls have good weight distribution and creates a balance so that when you hold the small ball in your hand, the large ball hovers just below the small one, like a parentheses symbol, making it easy to maneuver inside you, even though it is rather heavy at 1.5 lbs. The balance of weight and the offset balls makes it easy to stimulate the g-spot. When I say offset, I mean the ball is NOT attached to the “stem” like: -O whereby the ball sticks out the same on each side. It IS like this: _O With this orientation of ball to stem, the ball can easily be dragged and positioned because it sticks out from the stem.

Note: People with wrist troubles may have a hard time with Pure Wand due to the weight. To those people, I suggest enlisting a helpful friend to do the work for you.

  • It’s shiny surgical steel and it there’s a nice heft to it. Pure Wand, and all of njoy’s offerings, are made of 316 grade stainless steel. 316 is the stainless steel commonly used for jewelry and watches. The finish will not flake, peel, or wear-off due to rubbing… very very good to have in a sex toy. The only thing you can do to harm it is to clean it with something abrasive, like a scrubby pad, so don’t do that. It could be boiled to sterilize (and then left in the pot to cool before you take it out lest your burn yourself, silly) or rinsed with a 10% bleach solution, and then rinsed again to ensure you get all the bleach off (use common sense). I personally just wash it up with soap and water, rinse and dry with a soft cloth before tucking it back into its lovely satin-lined box or my plastic drawer tower.
  • You can heat it up or cool it down. You think this is not that cool, but it is cool. And hot. It’s effing awesome. No, don’t put it in the freezer or the microwave unless you want to win a Darwin award. However, a glass of ice water works to cool it, and a similar glass or bowl of warm/hot water will warm it to body temperature in the winter. You can also warm it up in summer if you just can’t stand cool steel, because 316 stainless steel always feels cool to the touch and might be too cool for some.
  • I hear tell that the fellows enjoy Pure Wand for their prostates. That may be so, but I don’t have a prostate, so I can’t speak to that. The small end is fun for anal use though, if you’re so inclined. I gave it a shot so I could say I fully tested the thing out for my report back to you guys. It went swimmingly. While I like it best for (vaginal) g-spot stimulation, it’s versatile enough to be used anally.

That’s the end of my bullet points. Now, some rambling.

I know that some gals use the small end (1 inch diameter) vaginally if they feel the large end (1.5 inch diameter) will be too large. You can certainly do that. Pure Wand is able to be used in either direction. I personally prefer the large end inside me, not just because it feels better, but because I find that it’s hard to hold the large end when the small end is inside me. My hand ends up hurting because the weight distribution just doesn’t seem to work as well that way. It somehow seems more heavy when held that way, even though clearly it weighs the same no matter how it’s held.

I have nothing bad to say about Pure Wand aside from the fact that your hand and arm may get tired after using it for a long time. It’s so worth it though. You’ll have the Pure Wand for the rest of your life. You could bury it with you. You can’t say that about many dildos. Even silicone dildos can eventually wear out if you’re not careful.

A lot has already been said about Pure Wand, and there’s not really much left to say. It’s a g-spot homing device. It’s a parenthetical, stainless steel wonder. You know you want one. Go on over to Trystology and pick up your own Pure Wand!
