I really, really love scratching things.<sup>1</sup> If you're not into scratching, you should check out an Agreeable Agony <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/03/pitcher-candle.html">candle</a> or <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/03/kinky-hp-school-kits-ravenclaw.html">rope kit</a> instead.<sup>2</sup> If you are though, these claws absolutely rock. Made of brass or stainless steel depending on your preference, these can be easily molded to your (or a friend's) exact finger tip size with pliers. <br />
<br />
Sensation-wise, these claws can as easily tickle as they can leave raised marks. As the tips are slightly curved, far more pressure is required than one would expect to break skin. Depending on where you rest the claw, and the length of your nails, changes play. With shorter nails or the claw set close enough to your nail bed so your nail is covered before the metal tapers, the person getting scratched will only feel the claw's tip, and thus get sensitized to its pinpoint location. Worn this way with the claw as the only focal point, far more pain can be felt. With longer nails, or the claws set far back enough that when angling them downwards both the finger nail and claw scratch skin, is the second option. I preferred this method as the dual sensation of a wider scrape followed by a sharp scratch is lovely. Either method can include the cool metal band making contact first, followed by a finger tip, and then the claw(s).<br />
<br />
The Finger Claws make for a lovely accessory at any kinky event, especially one with a later play party. These are also great backup claws for reducing the need of long nails for scratching. Cleaning for either the brass claws or stainless steel claws can be done with rubbing alcohol. Be sure to clean before and after use.<br />
<br />

Glow-in-the-dark lube sounds like perfection- glowing genitals, glowing toys, and the perfect addition to any sci-fi role play.<sup>1</sup> Though the concept is glorious, the product did not deliver quite enough glowing for my taste.<br />
<br />
The lube itself is fairly squishy, and has a faint odor. Taste-wise it's very close to neutral, with a touch of sourness. This lube does have a bit of grittiness to it that becomes more apparent when using orally. For this reason, I would not recommend this lube for anal play. I found this lube a bit reminiscent of <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.tumblr.com/post/43687283268/and-the-sliquid-collection-grows-larger-d">Sliquid Sea</a>, and was pleasantly surprised as this easily could have been a gambit lube, with terrible quality excused by its novelty factor. This is a water-based lube, and can be used with any toys, such as: wood, latex, and rubber. It's easily washed off with soap and water, and is non-staining. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Ingredients: Deionized Water, Zinc Sulfide Copper Doped, Propylene Grycol, Carragenan, Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose Gum, Sodium Lactate, Citric Acid, Carbomer, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Dimethyl Polysiloxane, L-lysine Hydrochloride </span><br />
<br />
There is a tiny amount of silicone in this lube, so if using with silicone be sure to test it on a toy's base first. I haven't had it react with a silicone toy yet, and the silicone gives the lube a nice glide. There isn't any information on the type of carbomer used, though otherwise all the ingredients are safe. Regardless, before using test a bit of lube on your thigh or wrist for any reactions. <br />
<br />
The glowing is a lovely bright green, and it can be refreshed with bright light. If you're not moving, and have a layer of lube down, you'll glow for a long period of time, and it'll be fantastic.<sup>2</sup> Also as one would expect, the thicker or more blob-like, the longer and stronger it glows. However, if you begin to actually use the Cosmic Bear as a lubricant, and rub around, the glowing goes away even if you shine light on it. I automatically rub lube, so when I want to glow for more than ten seconds, I go through <i>a lot</i>. As the glowing factor is the deciding point, I advise thinking about how you enjoy using lube to determine if it's worth it. <br />
<br />

<sup>2</sup><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Coolest moment was definitely looking down at my glowing green vulva. I'm an alien!</span><br />

These <a href="http://www.uberkinky.co.uk/medical-play/bdsm-sensation-play/wax-play-candles.html" rel="nofollow">candles</a> are made of a paraffin wax that melts around 130-135 degrees. Though this is cooler than dining room candles, which are likely to burn, these aren't quite as cool as some candles specifically made for wax play.<sup>1</sup> The paraffin also ensures that you can flip the candle upside down with minimal soot forming, over one particularly twisty session, I only counted three specks. Due to the design of these candles, they work best for creating droplets or splatters rather than pouring lines. <br />
<br />
These candles are color dipped, rather than solid, and you can see the effect this had on the wax. I found this to be a great aesthetic disappointment, as I was looking forward to the sharp contrast of the red and black. Like any candles, the further the wax falls before hitting skin the cooler it will be, and vice-versa. Varying the distance between skin and candle is an easy way to keep things interesting. Do keep in mind though that it is harder to aim the further away you get, and completely avoid any negatively-sensitive areas. Wax play also conveniently works well with other kinks, especially knife play, predicament bondage, and flogging. Though obviously these candles can't be used underwater, they can give rubber duckies a run for their money during bath time. Hot wax on a body chilled by the air, but warmed by water is a rather awesome sensation. These candles were the perfect temperature for bath play. <br />
<br />
These candles drip quite a bit, and can last through multiple sessions. Above I have their first use photographed with the amount of wax used and how far the candles burned down. Removal is fairly easy and painless if the wax is only one or two drops deep. If however you covered a part with more than that, removal will tug on both skin and hair (though it won't remove any). These candles were shipped in clear bag and surrounded with bubble wrap. If you're not a stickler for aesthetics, then these are the candles for you.<br />

Of the <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.tumblr.com/post/67440155442/the-damn-average-toys-came-in-look-at-the">four</a> Damn Average toys I've tested, the Orc is by far my favorite. If you were curious about the <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/12/flint.html">Flint</a>'s bumps, but worried about size, this toy is a great option. The Orc is one of those lovely toys that looks like a moderate size, but feels far girthier. Its insertable length is 5.4", and at widest its circumference hits 6.25". This toy is covered in piercings, with three ladder piercings, a prince albert, and a pubic bar. These nubs are very noticeable even in super soft, and I imagine would be even more stimulating in soft or hard.<br />
<br />
Damn Average can do most things regarding color, whether it's glow-in-the-dark, striped, marbled, and/or metallic. I really love how this loose blue, salmon, and white marble came out. This toy especially showcases an intense level of realistic detail- from delicate wrinkles around the piercings and foreskin, to slightly uneven balls, and to the lovely veins. <br />
<br />
During vaginal use, the ladder piercings quickly became the best feature of the Orc. These six nubs are fantastic for massaging vaginal walls and evoking gushing, and I assume would also do well anally. The super soft firmness I found to be too floppy for anal, and would suggest going with soft if you're considering anal use. The super soft firmness is however great for thrusting as quickly or as hard as one can without it causing any discomfort. It's also soft enough to use with any menstrual cycles or with sleep play. The middle portion of this dildo swells slightly to create a filling sensation, and the pubic bar piercing works well to grind against. The balls are also heavy enough to slap, and they tended to hit my perineum. I found the Orc to work well alone, and also well as a toy to prep for larger dildos. If you're specifically interested in stretch, the Orc's shaft may be a little too short, and you should check out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DamnAverage/search?search_query=rudolph&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search" rel="nofollow">Rudolph</a>. <br />

<br />
The Sqweel Go<sup>1</sup> was a very pleasant surprise for me- I was initially worried that due to it's tiny size it simply wouldn't cut it. Instead, it quickly became my favored Sqweel. At around three inches long, it's half the size of my palm and very easy to manipulate. Although it's loud for a toy its size, in the grand scheme of things, it's a reasonable volume. This Sqweel has three speeds and three patterns, and charges via usb port. It charges for two hours for an hour of play, and glows blue while charging. The wheel does not detach for sterilization like in the previous two versions; this is unfortunate as it would probably make for a great rimming toy. This toy requires a ton of <a href="http://www.lovehoney.com/sex/lubricants/water-based-lubes/" rel="nofollow">water-based lube</a> for it's size, and the easiest application is to roll the Sqweel through a palm full of lube.<sup>2</sup> <br />
<br />
As with the previous Sqweels, though they are marketed as oral sex stimulators, they simply don't feel like it.<sup>3</sup> This Sqweel is especially great at nipple stimulation and piercing stimulation. In fact if it weren't for my <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.tumblr.com/post/44510263834/pierced-this-week-i-got-my-first-ever-piercing" rel="nofollow">vch piercing</a>, I doubt I would have enjoyed this toy simply as a foreplay tool. With my piercing out, I found the Sqweel Go to be too featherlight for any notable orgasms. Unfortunately I don't have any other piercings to compare it to, but the Sqweel Go is the only external vibrator I've used so far that is purely pleasurable against my piercing.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately the Sqweel Go still has a major pitfall that the other Sqweels have- when pressure is applied, it stops rotating. Though this Sqweel is a little faster than the Sqweel 2, it's still not strong enough to withstand moving hips. Unless you're really into edge play, this is one of the most annoying faults when approaching orgasm. It's also fairly difficult to clean as the wheel doesn't detach. The tininess of the tongues also cover less area than previous sqweels, which may be unattractive to some users. Due to its small size though, it can be used easily with insertable toys. The Sqweel Go is not waterproof, though it is splash proof, so cleaning needs to be done carefully to avoid water getting in the motor. Cleaning the tongues with a toothbrush and then washing them off by rotation under running water seems to be the best way to clean this toy. Alternatively one could use a toy cleaner or wipes. <br />
<br />
All in all, the Sqweel 2 is a better bet if you're looking for a toy to stimulate rimming or want larger areas covered, and you don't mind a loud toy. The Sqweel Go is superior for foreplay- especially nipple play, using with other toys, and piercing stimulation. <br />
<br />
<sup>1</sup> <span style="font-size: x-small;">I can't stop imagining a small dog named Sqweel, and yelling at the dog to go fetch something. </span><br />
<sup>2</sup> <span style="font-size: x-small;">Please use lube with this toy. It's not worth the awkward dry tugs and pulls to save a few drops of lube.</span><br />
<sup>3</sup><span style="font-size: x-small;"> I'm betting on the lack of warmth, breath, and that the ten tongues can only rotate rather than do randomized motions.</span><br />

<br />
If you're having trouble eating enough daily vegetables, this dildo probably won't help, but it'll definitely be a more fun way to consume cucumbers.<sup>1</sup> There are four Cucumbers <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/165322360/soft-homegrown-cucumber-in-green" rel="nofollow">in</a> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/171091289/soft-hot-pink-and-hard-blue-base" rel="nofollow">stock</a> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/162418296/hard-pearlescent-pink-and-black" rel="nofollow">currently</a>, and there is a hiatus on custom-made creations. The Cucumbers can come in near natural coloring (it has a lovely glimmer), or can be any solid color, glow in the dark, metallics, stripes, etc. This toy was actually molded from a homegrown cucumber, and has a small dirt base. Though in soft and super soft, the toy can't stand<sup>2</sup>, the base does work for easy grasping, harness play, and safe anal insertion. <br />
<br />
The Cucumber is on the long and slim side of things, with most of the circumference at six inches, the top portion is around four, while the insertable length is at seven and a half inches. The simple design is great for thrusting, and the toy gently inserts. For myself this is a great warm-up dildo before moving to bigger toys. There are a few minor raised pinprick bubbles on the Cucumber, but it's nothing that interferes with its functionality. <br />
<br />
My Cucumber is cast in the super soft firmness, which is a little softer than Bad Dragon's soft. Although I didn't find this too soft for the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/162437205/soft-red-and-green-orc">Orc</a>, it was a little too soft for this toy, and I'd recommend going with soft or hard. Soft is comparable to slightly stale gummy candy, and hard is like salami- though bendier. The super soft was too floppy for me to use anally<sup>3</sup>, and even when using vaginally, the Cucumber needed to be inserted halfway before any thrusting was possible. This degree of softness also dials back the textures, which is unfortunate for this model as the Cucumber's bumps would be far more exciting in soft or hard. On the bright side, the super soft is the squishiest silicone I've ever tried, and thus I was able to painlessly use it while sore and menstruating. If you're into play related to falling asleep with a toy inserted or being awoken with one, the super soft is squishy enough for comfy sleep play.<br />
<br />
At this point, you may be thinking that you should just buy a natural cucumber, as they are a fairly cheap veggie, and worst case scenario, you'll be out fifty cents<sup>4</sup>. However, with an edible cucumber you wouldn't be able to safely engage in anal play or easily attach it to a harness. For vaginal use, you'd need to use condoms to ensure hygiene. Finally, even if you found the perfect cucumber, it would still perish. If you're curious about vegetable play and have a vagina, that would be a good place to start, but for a long term toy or another orifice, you'll want to go silicone. <br />
<br />
<sup>1</sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">The only other silicone cucumber I've found is this <a href="http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/634977073/Custom_new_style_100_FDA_silicone.html" rel="nofollow">wine cork</a>.</span><br />
<sup>2</sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">The jury's still out on if it can stand with a hard firmness.</span><br />
<sup>3</sup> <span style="font-size: x-small;">Which is very disappointing, as I bet this would make a fabulous anal dildo and double-penetration toy.</span> <br />
<sup>4</sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">Or more perhaps if it's organic/depending on where you live- hopefully you're not from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/709913/3064168850/" rel="nofollow">Falkland</a>. </span><br />

Jackhammer Jesus is one of the more provocative Divine Interventions creations, and certainly the most provocative toy I own. People new to my collection often eye <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/search/label/bad%20dragon">gigantic fantasy cocks</a>, long knives, and a ridiculous amount of partially used lube bottles<sup>1</sup>, without comment; but talking tends to start the moment they see a silicone crucifix.<br />
<br />
Jackhammer Jesus checks in at an insertable seven and a half inches, with a width of an inch and three-quarters. The cross top allows for both harness use and safe anal play, it's also a great handle. Divine Interventions' silicone is on the firm side, and also fairly static-y. Beyond blue, this toy comes in red, purple, black, gray, gold, and glow in the dark. As you can see in the image above of the toy's back, there was a cosmetic defect which did not affect use. <br />
<br />
The start of this dildo is fabulous, with a sloped head and three ribs for stimulation. The feet unfortunately, are rather abrupt. Even with lots of lube, I found them uncomfortable during insertion. For vaginal use, after a few thrusts any discomfort went away, and the feet tended to press against my g-spot. Between the ridges rubbing against my vaginal walls and feet kicking my g-spot, this dildo was particularly orgasmic and easy to produce multiple orgasms with.<sup>2</sup> For anal use, the feet made any thrusts have too much drag, though stationary use like a plug was fine.<br />
<br />
<sup>1</sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">Does anyone here actually finish their lube? I always pause once it's halfway empty unless I have another bottle of the exact brand and style. </span><br />
<sup>2</sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">After around a dozen I lost count. </span><br />

Flint is a monster.<sup>1</sup> The dildo pictured above is a <i>small</i>. This is the first Bad Dragon toy I've disagreed with their sizing on. Due to its width, at two and a half inches, I'd classify it as a medium even if it is short enough to pass off as a small. Below are the specs for the small and the three even larger sizes: <br />
<br />
<table class="divided" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<br />
Like all Bad Dragon toys, there are a ton of customizable features. To start with, there are three different firmnesses: soft, medium, and hard. I went with the medium firmness to make sure I'd be able to feel the studs, but still have some squish. Generally I'd recommend the medium firmness, but if you are worried about Flint's girth, then soft is the way to go. At this time, Flint does not have a suction cup in any size. Cumtubes are available in all sizes though, which come with a bottle of <a href="http://bad-dragon.com/products/cumlube" rel="nofollow">cumlube</a>. For coloration, almost anything can be done with marbles, stripes, metallics, and glow in the dark. Flint does have some rather lovely toy-specific colors, which you can view <a href="http://cdnassets.bad-dragon.com/images/product_images/product02_k_full.jpg" rel="nofollow">here</a>. My Flint is in Sinister Pumpkin, a super gorgeous orange/blue-black marble, and it even has a bowler hat<a href="http://avertyoureyeballs.tumblr.com/post/67628771456/sextoyreviewland-flint-came-in-today-along" rel="nofollow"><sup>2</sup></a>. This color can in fact be ordered at any time of year, as a blank custom marble with a comment on the checkout page that the toy is intended to be Sinister Pumpkin. <br />
<br />
Though Flint certainly needed lube, due to the lack of knot and gradual size increase I only needed four drops. This is a smooth hefty toy, and has a solid base for gripping. The scales/plates are as fabulous as they look, especially for textured thrusting. The foreskin was also fairly noticeable, and my vagina focused on it rather than the tip of the head during penetration. Luckily for myself, Flint's foreskin did not pop under my pubic bone, but I expect for some vulva owning users, Flint may. The middle has a slight bulge to ensure a full feeling. This toy also has a few fun rivulets, such as the two near the top of the base for bottoming-out easily<sup>3</sup>. My favorite thing about the Flint, is that it not only stretches, but is also easy to take entirely. As much as I love Bad Dragon's <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/02/bruiser-fusion.html">Bruiser</a> and <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/10/xar-karabos.html">Xar</a>, both of them take a while to engulf. Flint can actually be used for a quick session. This toy also gives a strong feeling of emptiness or stretchiness after being removed. Flint is safe for anal use, though far too large for myself. All in all, this is certainly a lovely toy for size queens.<br />

Coming out of the <a href="https://labs.bad-dragon.com/">Bad Dragon Labs</a>, this was the first staff pick chosen for full production. The sketches there are fun to browse, and if inspired, you can submit a design for a new Bad Dragon toy! <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<sup>3 </sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">Note: easily as the width wasn't too much for me. I would not recommend this toy to people who have not tried two inch wide dildos or larger. </span></div>

This gorgeous beast is the first of the Damn Average <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.tumblr.com/post/67440155442/the-damn-average-toys-came-in-look-at-the">set</a> I'll be reviewing. Aliens can be <a href="http://www.etsy.com/transaction/157558509" rel="nofollow">custom ordered</a>, or chosen if <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DamnAverage/search?search_query=alien&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search" rel="nofollow">in stock</a>.<sup>1</sup> Colors and firmnesses are customizable for all Damn Average toys. For color, any solid color (including metallic and glow-in-the-dark) or two-color marble is included in the custom cost. Additional colors, fades, gradients, and stripes can all be purchased as add-ons. For firmness levels, there is hard, soft, and super soft. Damn Average runner, Sheep, describes hard as being comparable to salami, soft as partly stale gummy candy, and super soft as similar to Bad Dragon's soft. Though I agree with the first two, I found the super soft a little softer than Bad Dragon's soft. With this Alien, I went with soft, which was definitely the right decision, and what I'd recommend. The soft was gentle enough so that none of the barbs caught or caused later soreness, and it was firm enough to appreciate all the bumps and ridges. <br />
<br />
I preferred this toy for vaginal use, it's ridges massaged my vaginal walls, and the base is great to grind against. The ridges also make for fabulous thrusting, and can invoke squirting. However given the small base and short length of the dildo (five and a quarter inches), the base becomes slippery rather easily, and harder to thrust quickly with. Personally, I found it too textured for anal play, but if inclined, it does have just enough of a base for safe anal play. <br />
<br />
As with any pure silicone toy, the Alien can be boiled clean, hand washed, or cleaned with a toy cleaner. Damn Average's silicone is a complete lint magnet, and requires cleaning pretty much right before use. I found a few random pinprick sized raised bumps, but these didn't have any negative impact during use. <br />
<br />

These suckers are intended for sensitizing nipples and clitorises, but can be used on almost any area. These are applied by placing the sucker on a flat stretch of skin, and turning the top clockwise. The toys are easily strengthened by continuing to turn, or removed by turning counter-clockwise. When used without any lubricant, I found the suckers would not completely seal and thus would tip over fairly easily. However, with a dab of <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/04/sliquid-silk.html">lube</a>, the suction stayed strong unless vigorous movement occurred.<br />
<br />
For toys designed for nipples and clitorises, the suction area is fairly large, with a diameter of 3/4 of an inch. Many users may find that the suckers also puff up their areolae, which may not be a positive thing if you're aiming for nipple play. For myself, I was easily able to sensitize my areolae, but not my nipples. For clitoral play, I had difficulty getting the suction cup on a flat enough surface to work. Other parts of my vulva worked better, such as my inner and outer labia, and mons pubis. <br />
<br />
These are an interesting alternative to <a href="http://www.uberkinky.co.uk/bondage-gear/clamps-suckers.html" rel="nofollow">clamps</a>, as the suckers don't have such a sharp bite. If left on long enough, when removed there will be a circular imprint.<sup>1 </sup>The twisted triplets can be used alone or with partner(s), and other toys. They will not retain suction with a vibrator near them though. Made of ABS plastic, these can be easily cleaned with warm water and soap. <br />
<br />
<sup>1</sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">And if you make five imprints overlapping
each other, you too can win the kinky Olympics. Bonus points if you
dribble different colored wax on each ring.</span><br />

The <a href="http://www.naturelabsusa.com/personal-lubricant/nature-lovin/koala" rel="nofollow">Koala line</a> is fairly extensive with flavors like Mojito, Tiramisu, and Orange Creamsickle. I requested the chance to review some of the Koala line, as I'd already tried the <a href="http://www.naturelabsusa.com/productdisplay/koala-raspberry-cheesecake">Raspberry Chessecake</a>- and it was wicked delicious. Unfortunately the flavors I tested, weren't as awesome.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.naturelabsusa.com/productdisplay/koala-strawberry-margarita">Strawberry Margarita</a> was the worst, tasting disturbingly similar to cough syrup. The <a href="http://www.naturelabsusa.com/productdisplay/koala-smores">S'mores</a> flavor is good, but <i>really</i> sweet, and I didn't want more than a few licks of it. Finally <a href="http://www.naturelabsusa.com/productdisplay/koala-papaya-mango">Papaya Mango</a> was my favorite of the bunch with a lovely mango aftertaste- though I still preferred the Raspberry Cheesecake flavor. Koala does offer sample packets, or <a href="http://www.naturelabsusa.com/personal-lubricant/nature-lovin/koala">taste buds</a>, so you can pick out your favorite before committing to an entire bottle. <br />
<br />
Scent-wise, all of the flavors' scents matched, and were fairly strong. These lubes are on the thin side, and with rubbing quickly absorb into skin. These are glycerin and paraben free. As these are water-based lubricants, they don't stain, can be washed away easily, and are safe to use with any toys. <br />
<br />
Due to the thinness and absorbancy rate, I wouldn't advise the Koala line for anything other than oral play. Depending on flavor, some of the Koala line will make genitals taste like their flavor, while others won't. With these three, the S'mores and Strawberry Margarita masked, and the Papaya Mango did not. As with any lubricant, I would recommend testing for an allergic reaction on one's wrist or upper thigh before using genitally. <br />

I expected the Grim Reaper to be similar to the <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-devil.html">Devil</a>- they're around the same size, seem to have the same amount of pointy-ness, have almost identical bases, and are about the same weight. They even both have raised arrows on their backs- though the Reaper's are closer together and also has a scythe. However while the Devil's pointy areas are slightly rounded (nose, horns, ears), the Reaper's hood is not rounded- those two tips <i>are</i> as pointy as they look. <br />
<br />
Grim requires lots of <a href="http://divine-interventions.com/holywaterlube.php">water-based lube</a>, and even then can still cause discomfort when inserting as the hood's points are at the beginning of the dildo. The only time I inserted this toy painlessly was after an orgasm, and even then Grim needed to be slathered in lube. Now for anyone who enjoys the bittersweet line between pain and pleasure, this is a lovely dildo. The two tips scratch against one's front vaginal wall in a pleasing manner<sup>1</sup>, and the Reaper's ridges make for great thrusting. I found doggy style put too much weight on the dildo's pointy areas, and crossed toeing the pleasure/pain line to death-needs-to-get-out-of-my-vagina-now. Also spinning death around while inserted was a terrible idea. Theoretically this toy can be used anally, though I suspect tears would be rather likely.<br />
<br />
As the Reaper's hood overhangs its skull, this is a rather loud and squelchy toy.<sup>2</sup> This is the only insertable toy I've ever used that has made me sore. That being said, I still anticipate using it for high energy/adrenalin self play. And if you're into that, or any sexual pain play, this is a fabulous dildo.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>2</sup></span> Also if you fall asleep post-orgasm and thus don't clean Grim, when you wake up your toy may have a cum grill. </span><br />

The Brief is a close fitting harness that avoids any of the hassle or awkwardness of straps. This easy-on harness is comfortable for short term or long term wear, making it a lovely choice for packing or substituting for underwear. Depending on how the Brief fits you dictates if you can switch dildos while wearing, naturally it is harder to do this with thicker dildos. There are nine different sizes, to ensure a close fit. The O-ring is non-interchangeable, and has a bit of stretch, but not that much. The ring has a diameter of one and a half inches, and can take slightly larger dildos/plugs if they are squishy. <br />
<br />
Heavier dildos will droop and not be supported as well, making accurate movements more difficult. Users that only have experience with strap harnesses may find this harness a bit unwieldy at first. Due to the required tightness of this harness, it works best for vulva owners. There is a layer of material for a toy's base to avoid any chafing while the giver is thrusting. <br />
<br />
This is a definitely the sexiest harness I own.<sup>1</sup> From the small splashes of red, to wearing it with low cut jeans so the lettering is visible, it's a blast. It also came with a RodeoH dogtag necklace, which is fun to wear around, especially if a partner has sexy associations with it.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Xar is a monster. A glorious monster to be sure, but a monster made of silicone all the same. This hefty two-pound<sup>1</sup> beast is excellent to place weight on orifices or consensually slap people with.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">For firmness, I decided to do the wide split. This means that the shaft is a soft firmness and the base is firm; for myself and this size, this was the best possible firmness. The soft squishy shaft allowed me to insert far more than I could have if it were a medium or firm. And the firm base allowed for textured friction, and stiffer ridges. Alternatively one can get a medium/firm split, or entirely soft, medium, or firm.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Color-wise, I went with surprise me with a note to go crazy. I'm very pleased with the level of crazy achieved; the base is a sea foam green sheen with brown poking through in places and the shaft has a blue and golden marbling. Bad Dragon can do any custom color(s), marbling, splits, metallics and glow-in-the-dark. The <a href="http://bad-dragon.com/inventorytoys/showlist/flops">flops page</a> has toys with minor defects, and some are very cool looking franken pours<sup>2</sup>. This month, there's a lovely metallic orange and black marbling called sinister pumpkin for Halloween. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You can also get either a cum tube or suction cup with Xar, and if you go with the extra large size, you can get both. I went with the suction cup as I like having dragon dildos hanging on my walls. Suction cups are also great if you want to stabilize shower play. On the flip side, a cum tube makes sure you stay properly lubricated and makes for awesome lube fights. And with the Xar, lots of <a href="http://bad-dragon.com/products/cumlube">water-based lube</a> is necessary with its bumps and huge knot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Bad Dragon now also offers character print images, and prompts the option when creating a toy. If you'd rather get a ready-made toy, there are currently many black Xars <a href="http://bad-dragon.com/products/xar">in stock</a> and a brilliant crimson one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Xar is not a toy I would recommend to anyone starting out with insertion play. For a more common size comparison, Xar's knot is a little over half an inch wider than <a href="http://www.vixencreations.com/maverick.php">Maverick</a>. This feels like the widest dildo I currently own, and is always a delightful challenge. My medium <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/02/bruiser-fusion.html">Bruiser</a> is actually a little bit wider, but as its shaft is thinner, it's easier to knot. For the stretchy and adventurous, Xar is a lovely dildo. It has a rounder top, interesting divots, and tons of texture around the base. Its fun base makes it both harness and anal friendly. I only used this dildo vaginally, and happily its head did not hook or pop under my pubic bone, which may have been because it was cast soft. With its almost conical shape, it's a fantastic dildo for doggy style, and in that position I found it easiest to hit my g-spot. </span><br />

Thus far, I've reviewed two other vibrators made by Lovehoney- the <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2012/12/sqweel-2.html">Sqweel 2</a> and <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/02/happy-rabbit-natural.html">Happy Rabbit Natural</a>. Both of these were decent vibrators, and had the potential to be awesome for the right user. The Flash unfortunately does not meet these standards.<br />
<br />
Flash is, like its namesake, flashy- a small toy that can easily be traveled with, it charges via usb, has multiple modes and a single power button to flicker through them all. However its vibrations are buzzy and surface-level, rather than deep<sup>1</sup>. If you are rather sensitive, or want to use this vibrator solely for teasing, then it works. I found it particularly great for orgasm denial play. Though given the level of its buzziness, it can invoke temporary numbness. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/iOs1R.jpg">The Flash</a> has a silicone finish, so you want to stick with <a href="http://www.lovehoney.com/sex/lubricants/water-based-lubes/">water-based lubricants</a>. It's also marketed as waterproof; however the two halves pull apart easily, and I wouldn't use it underwater. I found its noise level greatly fluctuated, sometimes it was quiet, like a single bee buzzing, and other times the <a href="http://www.jonsabo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Oprahs-Bees.gif">entire hive was active</a>. This toy has a contoured tip, which didn't affect my experience positively or negatively. <br />
<br />
I really wanted to love this vibrator- from its sleek and simple appearance, to how easily it can discretely charge off my laptop. Hopefully a second version will come out, with a vastly stronger and rumbly motor. <br />
<br />
<sup>1</sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">Such as say the We-Vibe <a href="http://www.lovehoney.com/product.cfm?p=22889">Salsa</a> or Touch.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The <a href="http://www.i-gino.com/">iGino One</a> is a small external vibrator, in a bright white and pink ABS plastic. This vibrator has a few positives, one being that if one gets the travel version it comes has with a US and European charger. It also has the capability to charge with a computer via usb. Technically this vibrator is on the discrete side as it appears more like a cell phone than anything else, and the color scheme is rather reminiscent of Hello Kitty. There is a plastic cover to protect the toy portion from dust which is pretty cool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Unfortunately, that is the end of this product's positive high notes. The iGino's motor is rather loud and buzzy- high pitched and loud enough to be more annoying than a Hitachi. I found attempting to use the iGino for any long amount of time resulted in far more headaches than orgasms. Though the iGino oscillates,<sup>1</sup> the buzzing portion is too short for the oscillations to be effective, or even strongly distinctive from vibrations. If the vibrating portion were less of a nub, and could cover more area, this would work far better for myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">iGino notes that this vibrator can be used between couples, however this only seems to be true if the vulva owner(s) have flat or concave mons pubis, otherwise there is a lot of jostling and simply not stimulating the clitoral area. The iGino One only has one speed, and is on the powerful side of things. Theoretically one can use the different slim foam bits and vary pressure to try and establish different speeds, though I didn't have much luck with this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This toy takes twelve hours to charge using the USB port, and only charges the toy for forty minutes. Forty minutes. I would expect that kind of ratio for a strong solar powered vibrator. Beyond this though, I would not suggest sharing this toy with anyone you have not fluid bound with. The foamy section seems porous, however the rest of the ABS plastic can be wiped down to sanitize it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This was iGino's first foray into the sex toy world, and even though it didn't take off to the moon- it was made of safe materials and by a company that wants to help people find pleasure. I hope to see another version or model by iGino in the future. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><sup>1</sup> <span style="font-size: x-small;">This is what originally drew me to this product despite the cringeworthy tag line of "what women want".</span></span><br />

<br />
The Countess Clit Dildo is a modest six inches, with four rings. This dildo has a lovely futuristic sleek look to it, and also comes in purple, pink, and pure black. There is also a <a href="http://www.sh-womenstore.com/Sex+Toys/Dildo+Delights/Sh!+Silicone+Dildos/Regal+Silicone+Dildos/Countess_Vibrating+_Dildo.html" target="_blank">vibrating version</a> of this toy. Countess Clit is in Sh!'s <a href="http://www.sh-womenstore.com/Sex+Toys/Dildo+Delights/Sh!+Silicone+Dildos/Regal+Silicone+Dildos.htm" target="_blank">regal line</a>, they have <a href="http://www.sh-womenstore.com/Sex+Toys/Dildo+Delights/Sh!+Silicone+Dildos.htm" target="_blank">seven other lines</a> and a <a href="http://www.sh-womenstore.com/Sex+Toys/Dildo+Delights/Sh!+Silicone+Dildos/Limited+Edition+Silicone+Dildos.htm" target="_blank">limited edition section</a> (which includes glow in the dark dildos). <br />
<br />
This dildo is pure silicone<sup>1 </sup>and thus requires a <a href="http://www.sh-womenstore.com/Lubes+and+Lotions/Water+Based+Lubes.htm?sort=4a&page=1" target="_blank">water-based lubricant</a>. This silicone is fairly firm, so the rings are distinct, but still has a bit of flexibility. The rarity of dildos having clitoris intended attachments makes far more sense to me now- the attachment could provide clitoral pressure, but only if one is grinding against it, and if it ends up hitting one's clitoris. When thrusting for example, the attachment tended to hit above my clit. For users wanting clitoral stimulation, I'd heavily suggest going with the <a href="http://www.sh-womenstore.com/Sex+Toys/Dildo+Delights/Sh!+Silicone+Dildos/Regal+Silicone+Dildos/Countess_Vibrating+_Dildo.html" target="_blank">vibrating version</a>. Regardless, the dildo was lovely. The four rings make for strong sensations, especially upon entry. Countess Clit gets gradually larger to provide a gentle entry, and is angled for g-zone stimulation.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately this dildo has a rather thin heart shaped base standard for Sh! dildos, and is too slim and flexible for myself. This made it awkward to hold during use, and would occasionally mess up my thrusts. Over time I've gotten used to the base, it just requires slightly different handling. These bases also make all Sh! dildos anal friendly and harness friendly. The Countess Clit isn't the best with a harness, as trying to match up the tiny arm exactly with a partner's clitoris isn't the easiest. To clean, one can boil, use toycleaner, or hand wash with warm water and soap. <br />

<br />
This devious little wheel is far sharper, and more versatile, than it appears. With almost no pressure it can feel like a tickle and with a firm hand can draw tiny perforations of blood. Made of stainless steel, one can simply boil it or wipe with alcohol to sterilize it. I don't anticipate needing to replace this wheel anytime soon, as it is rather sturdy.<br />
<br />
The small arch on the handle allows for your pointer finger to easily and comfortably control the wheel. The wheel is mostly silent against skin, it occasionally makes a light squeak. Against hard materials, such as hard plastic, it is clearly audible. <br />
<br />
The wheel is fun to run across someone's body, and it also can scrape well when turned sideways. Speed, pressure, and placement of where the wheel is on someone's body all together effectively make this an awesome sensation toy. It can be used solely for pleasure or pain, or be used somewhere in between. For most users it is probably a little too intense to use on genitals, but it can be used anywhere external effectively, such as arms, legs, nipples, etc. UberKinky also offers <a href="http://www.uberkinky.co.uk/medical-play/bdsm-sensation-play/pinwheels.html" target="_blank">more complicated pinwheels</a>, with <a href="http://www.uberkinky.co.uk/double-wartenberg-pinwheel-92424.html" target="_blank">two</a>, <a href="http://www.uberkinky.co.uk/triple-wartenberg-pinwheel-82638.html" target="_blank">three</a>, <a href="http://www.uberkinky.co.uk/five-head-wartenberg-pinwheel-82639.html" target="_blank">five</a>, or <a href="http://www.uberkinky.co.uk/seven-head-pinwheel-92211.html" target="_blank">seven</a> wheels. I would certainly recommend this toy to anyone who's interested in sensation play, especially that errs on the side of pain. <br />

This flavored and scented towelette is a one-time use product
designed to improve oral sex. For ingredients, there are no parabens or
glycerin, though if any irritation occurs one should stop using it. The
towelette is around hand size for myself, so application is easy. The
slight dampness makes it so one can glide the towelette over a body. <br />
<br />
The flavor I tested out is <a href="http://luckyme-luckyyou.com/buy-3" target="_blank">Succulent Strawberry</a>,
and currently other flavors are being created. I found the scent rather
sweet, and a tiny bit cloying. After wiping the towelette on any patch
of skin, it takes on the strawberry scent for a little over an hour. The
flavor's taste unfortunately didn't apply as well as the scent. It was
only noticeable after being applied recently, and wasn't a strong taste.
If you wanted to use this product to make someone's genitals taste like
strawberries, it simply won't do.<sup>1</sup> If you want to make
genitals smell like strawberries though, it will succeed at that. This
also holds for other bodily areas, though the taste comes through a
little more, it still isn't that strong.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">Ingredients:
Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Stevia Rebaudiana Extract, Citric
Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Flavor </span></i><br />
<br />
This
product doesn't interfere with condom use, dental dams, or gloves. It's
worth remembering that it does not prevent STI transmission. All in
all, this product may improve your oral sex life if you would be more
comfortable if your or your partner(s) genitals smelled different.
However, if you want semen or vaginal fluids to taste slightly sweeter,
this product won't help. <br />
<br />
<sup>1</sup> <span style="font-size: x-small;">A better choice for taste would be any of Sliquid's Swirl line, I especially like the Green Apple and Pink Lemonade. </span><br />

The <a href="http://www.myspare.com/product/joque" target="_blank">Joque</a> is a light double strap vegan harness that allows for two bullet vibrators and a dildo. The back is a giant adjustable velcro strap for easy putting on and taking off. The leg straps can also adjust significantly, and have sharp little teeth so they remain stable. This harness comes in black, white, red, pink, blue, and purple.<br />
<br />
The double strap style allows for anal play while wearing the harness, and also creates some cute butt cleavage. This style also allows you to fit snugly in the harness, and for it to remain fitting you even if your weight fluctuates, or to potentially fit a partner. I've found this harness very comfortable to wear on its own, or on top of leggings or underwear. Given how comfortable it is, someone could pack with it, or use <a href="http://www.myspare.com/product/pete" target="_blank">Pete</a> to pack a little more securely. Joque thrusts extremely well, and follows your hip movements perfectly due to the snugly fitting straps. Since it is made of fabric, vulva-owning users will be able to feel every thrust they make- which can get a shade distracting. (Cock-owners may want to check out the <a href="http://www.myspare.com/product/deuce" target="_blank">Deuce harness</a>.)<br />
<br />
This harness can be used with a double ended dildo, such as the <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/04/tango.html" target="_blank">Tango</a>, as long as you slide the inner fabric to the side. When using a typical dildo, this fabric covers the base of the dildo to avoid chaffing. There are two spots for bullet vibrators, these are mostly for the person wearing the harness though the receiver may feel some faint vibrations. Joque can be hand washed, or in a washing machine with delicates. <br />

<br />
With thirty different levels of vibration to wake you up, the Little Rooster can rouse any vulva owner from sleeping. This toy is made of hard plastic, and is worn completely externally in a pair of panties. The flat base rests against one's pubic bone, and the vibrating stem against one's labia. The toy stays in place surprisingly well, and does not move even if one moves a lot while sleeping. The Little Rooster has both a play setting, to be used like an average bullet vibrator, and an alarm mode to wake one up.<br />
<br />
Though the Little Rooster certainly makes waking up more pleasant, it does not make it any easier. The toy starts off at the vibration level you choose, increasing in intensity over time, and remaining at the highest level you specify for eight minutes before shutting off and beeping. At any point during this, a snooze button can be pushed and all vibrations will cease for ten minutes. For myself, having an orgasm that close to waking up just puts me back to sleep. Luckily, this toy is also excellent in its own right. The first twenty-six levels of vibration are almost silent, making this a great choice for anyone who wants to subtly engage in public play. As the Little Rooster stays in place, even while thrusting, it can also be worn with some harnesses, such as the <a href="http://www.myspare.com/product/joque" target="_blank">Joque</a>. This was my favorite use of the vibrator, as other bullet vibes must be put in pockets and thus have their vibrations dimmed, the Little Rooster can go directly between the harness and flesh.<br />
<br />
The Little Rooster recharges via USB connection, and can be cleaned by wiping it down with a toy cleaner or warm water and soap. Be sure to avoid cleaning the open port, and not to fully submerge this vibrator in water. This toy comes with a thorough and clear instruction manual, and also a small storage bag. <br />

The Siren is a fairly typical silicone dildo, and it comes in purple and black. It has a pronounced head for p-spot or g-spot stimulation, and is o-ring harness compatible. The wide base may make it harder for people with smaller hands to grip this toy. The silicone is fairly tacky feeling<sup>1</sup> and attracts quite a bit of lint.<br />
<br />
As this dildo is on the thin side, an inch and a half width, it works well as a beginning p-spotting or g-spotting dildo. It only applies a little pressure to these spots though, so if you're looking for a more intense feeling, <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/01/gods-immaculate-rod.html" target="_blank">God's Immaculate Rod</a> or the <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2013/04/d1.html" target="_blank">D1</a> would work better. Although it has some flexibility, it's not squishy, making it excellent for anal play. With its simple design, the Siren thrusts rather well. Most will want to use a water-based lube, as this dildo has quite a bit of drag without it, and may be painful. Though I found this toy fun to use with other partners, it was a shade too dull for my own solo use. If it had a squishier material or pressed against my g-spot more firmly, I would have preferred it far more. <br />
<br />
This dildo is easily cleaned via boiling, or hand washing with warm water and soap. The Siren comes in a simple cardboard box and plastic bag, neither of which are adequate for storage purposes.<br />
<br />
<sup>1</sup><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Tacky as it is, it did pass a flame test indicating that it is pure silicone. </span><br />

This squishy silicone matte plug by Fuze is the second Happy Valley Silicone plug I've reviewed, and <a href="http://sextoyreviewland.blogspot.com/2012/12/pleasure-1.html" target="_blank">once again</a>, I wanted to like it far more than I did. The Halo is made of a high grade silicone<sup>1</sup> which is rather flexible and comfortable, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The small ridges all over the plug hold lube well. Dimension-wise the Halo is 1 3/8'' by 4'', so it is on the longer side. This ensures that the plug stays in place, and I have yet to have it pop out during orgasm.<br />
<br />
The base of this plug is a ring and either a finger or bullet vibe can be used as a flange. Be sure to place something in the ring so that an emergency room visit isn't necessary. Most bullet vibes should fit, I found Jimmyjane's Little Chroma to just fit while stretching the ring a bit. All of the Fuze plugs have this design, with a ring for a flange. This is particularly brilliant as it allows for boiling the toy on its own, and for effective vibrations to be easily added. <br />
<br />
Though the bendy aspects of the silicone make it comfortable to wear (especially for long periods of time), they do not make it easy to insert. I often found when inserting that the long stem would bend and make insertion difficult. The <a href="http://happyvalleysilicone.com/butt_plugs.html" target="_blank">pleasure plugs</a> with a rounded tip were far easier to insert, and I would recommend starting there if you're new to butt plugs. <br />
<br />
If you're interested in a plug that's similar to the Halo, but want something slightly easier to manage, Fuze also offers the <a href="http://www.fuzetoys.com/butt_plugs.html" target="_blank">Hero and Whirl</a>. Hero is like the Halo but smooth, and Whirl is a smaller version of the Halo. <br />

<br />
The first thing that caught my eye with this double ended dildo was its ridges that provide clitoral or perineum stimulation. In theory, this is a strapless strap-on that doesn't require anything further for use. The Tango is made of a firm pure silicone and has a small reservoir for a bullet vibrator. Using a bullet vibrator will provide some external stimulation for the giver, and a small amount of internal stimulation for both the giver and receiver. The Tango also comes in a <a href="http://happyvalleysilicone.com/vibrators.html" target="_blank">lovely light blue</a>. <br />
<br />
The Tango has a smooth finish which makes it slightly more difficult to grip as the giver. For myself, the giving portion would slip out a half inch or so during partner or solo use. The receiving end benefits from the smooth finish though, and is easily inserted for vaginal or anal use. It's also on the slimmer side, making it more accessible to more users. For the giver portion, too much lube will make it difficult to maneuver Tango without it slipping out. When using a bullet vibrator, I found a drop of lube aided insertion and removal of the vibrator without making it too slippery to stay in the reservoir. Make sure to use a water-based lube, as a silicone one will destroy this toy. Jimmyjane's Little Chroma just fit, and due to its length, also provided extra external stimulation.<br />
<br />
For myself, the Tango wasn't that great for solo play. Though the ridges made for clitoral stimulation, the internal portion was a little too small and didn't touch my g-spot. Though for other people with closer spots, the curve may be enough for g-spot or p-spot stimulation. The giving portion of the Tango is meant for people who like smaller and slimmer stubs. For partner play, the Tango unfortunately does not stay put. Either a harness that allows for a double ended dildo, or a spare hand is necessary for thrusting with Tango.<br />
<br />
The Tango attracts a ton of lint, and needs to be cleaned before and after every use. This can be done, after removing the bullet, via boiling, a dishwasher, a 10% bleach solution, or warm water and soap. The Tango is made of high quality materials, and may work well for other users, the exact shape simply did not work well for myself. <br />
