Onda by Lora diCarlo
" If you're looking for the ultimate g-spot vibe, Onda is the one to beat! The incredible finger-stroke sensation created by the kinetic micro-robotics is
totally unique, delivering intense, focused pressure
exactly where you need it most. The stoke is totally customizable in length and speed, so you can explore and find your body's ideal touch. Best of all, the shape and size is perfect - not too big, but not too small. Not too curved, but not too straight. And the firmness allows you to explore all kinds of new angles. This is the ideal toy to lead your g-spot or squirting exploration!"

UVee Ultraviolet Sanitizer
" This is the year I think we all became really aware of our personal hygiene practices. I first brought the UVee home to sanitize all my sex toys, but in 2020, I ended up using it every single day! It's the most convenient way to
quickly and easily sanitize everything I handle a lot,
especially when I leave the house. I especially love that it's a big enough size for all my stuff - my phone, my keys, my wallet, my credit cards, everything! It's super fast, only requiring ten minutes to kill 99% of germs. Eve though I originally got it fr toys, it gives me such peace of mind to know that all of my most frequently-touched items are all actually clean. "

Pulse Duo Vibrating Sleeve
" I think this is definitely the coolest stroker I've come across. It's a totally singular experience! The unique tapping feeling of the small oscillating plate mixed with the overall vibration of the sleeve feels so nice. It's a
really deep, thuddy sensation that's like no other!
What's really cool about Pulse is that it's specifically designed to stimulate more blood flow and increase sensitivity to the penis, but doesn't actually require an erection to be used! And the sensations feel just as good regardless of how erect the person using it is. Adding Pulse to oral creates an amazing experience, and the vibrating underside makes it very easy to share the stimulation with a partner. It brings foreplay to the next level! "

We-Vibe Smart Wand
" Anyone who knows me knows that I love a good bath, so the fact that this wand is fully submergible is what makes it my pick. I love that the subtle, arched shape gives very gentle vibration on the handle, making this the ideal wand if you have any mobility or grip issues in your hands. I also really love the two amazing, body-safe attachments it comes with: one is
like a million little tongues moving all over your body,
and the other is perfectly sized to use as a stroker for a penis. It can be controlled by app, and it's so much fun to draw your own totally unique vibration patterns to play with. All this versatility is why this wand really is the best toy that couples can get themselves, regardless of their anatomy! "

Review: The Suckler
“When I first heard about suckler toys, I was skeptical. Would it really deliver? The top two brands are the Womanizer and the Satisfyer. I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend the money on one — I am not a clitoral only kind of woman. But an unexpected windfall gave me the opportunity to try out a Satisfyer. The idea behind this toy is that there is a moveable membrane at the back of a small, silicone-lipped opening on the device, This membrane vibrates back and forth creating a vacuum when the silicone “lips” seal around a small area of flesh – most often a nipple or a clitoris.
“The first attempt, I started cold turkey, no foreplay, just a little lube and the suckler itself. It proved to be a great tease, engorging my clit somewhat, arousing me and feeling very nice, but never quite sealing the deal completely. After a little while, I finished myself another way and reported the results to my sweetheart. But when he went off to work and I found myself home alone, I decided that a second try was in order. Holy Moly! This time that little sucker immediately latched onto my clitoris and I reached orgasm in just a few seconds! I barely had time to think, it was just happening! Since then, the Satisfyer has moved to the front of the drawer under my bed.”

The Often-Overlooked Wand
The Often-Overlooked Wand
Back in the day, your option for a good vibrator was limited. To one side was a cheap, pointed plastic tube you’d pop a couple of D sized batteries into (which ALWAYS rattled loudly after a bit). It just screamed THIS IS A VIBRATOR Y’ALL. The plastic tube was the ultimate first vibrator for many of us. It went through batteries like I go through a bag of potato chips and was purely utilitarian. My fondest memories of my first vibrator mostly involved hiding it from parents and roommates.

ON Arousal Gel Review
When my boss came back from a trade show with a bag full of swag and asked me to try out and review ON’s “arousal gel for women”, I was skeptical to say the least. Not only because most arousal products are bunk and/or full of nasty chemicals, but also because my junk is pretty sensitive. This is my ON Arousal Gel review: (more…)
