Open (from Lovehoney.com) :

Thus far, I've reviewed two other vibrators made by Lovehoney- the Sqweel 2 and Happy Rabbit Natural. 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.

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 deep¹. 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.

The Flash has a silicone finish, so you want to stick with water-based lubricants. 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 entire hive was active. This toy has a contoured tip, which didn't affect my experience positively or negatively.

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. 

¹Such as say the We-Vibe Salsa or Touch.

Not worth it unless you really like buzzy vibrations.

Aesthetics: 19/20

Overall I like its appearance,

though I'd prefer the lovehoney band be made of a nicer metal.

Pleasure: 45/75

Intended Functionality: 2/5

Easy to use, but not powerful.

Reusability: 18/20

Can be quickly wiped down with a toy cleaner,

and charges quickly.

I found its best use was teasing and foreplay,

it simply produced bland orgasms.

Thanks Lovehoney!

Chiffon and Faux Leather Cami Set

For today's review I'll be looking at the Chiffon and Faux Leather Cami Set by Dreamgirl. As always, click any image to see the full version!

Neckband:

Best View:

To start with, the name of this outfit seems a little ridiculous as the outfit is labeled as 100% polyester. Moving on from that, this outfit consists of a peasant style top with four front buckles securing it, a sheer thong, and a neckband. The back of the top is sheer, as are the sleeves. The faux leather straps for the front-closure buckles don't feel very durable. Also the faux leather panels are only in the front. There are mini ribs going down the bottom half to make the top appear like an under-the-bust corset. These ribs are just decorative though, and don't hold you in. There is a helpful strap between the shoulder cuffs to keep them in place. The sheer thong is labeled as a one-size, and is a shade smaller than I would expect. Generally though, it's a decent polyester thong- it has a mini pantyliner and the back is wide enough to not encourage wedgies. The neckband is a pink ribbon with a front buckle that matches the top. As this is ribbon, it becomes crinkled rather easily. Also the buckle is decorative, and the ribbon has to be tied. All together, these make for a pretty rather soft and feminine set. 

This outfit should be hand washed in cool water and tumble dried on low. It also comes on a basic plastic hanger. This set should work better for less curvy bodies, and if you're curvy you may want to order a size up. There also isn't any chest support. Unfortunately there are currently only three sizes offered- S, M, L. On top of that, besides the buckles having three holes, this isn't adjustable. This would be a really cool piece if it was made of sturdier materials. As is, it can be a fun surprise for an evening, but I wouldn't anticipate wearing it lasting long.

Pleasure 1

For today's review I'll be looking at Pleasure 1 by Happy Valley Silicone.

This adorable skinny butt plug is made of pure silicone. The silicone is fairly soft and flexible, it also does not collect much lint. The plug itself measures four inches by seven-eighths of an inch. Thus, the plug feels like a single finger. It inserts easily with a little water-based lube. This plug can be boiled clean, cleaned with a 10% bleach mix, or cleaned with a toy cleaner. 

I found this plug to be far too skinny to use anally, and slipped out often. People new to anal play may particularly enjoy this toy, as a cute non-threatening first anal plug. Or for anyone who enjoys skinnier plugs, this one is lovely. This plug can also be used for vaginal teasing, though it will need some reinforcement to stay in place.

Happy Valley Silicone also makes larger plugs and dildos, and they're all in gorgeous colors. Much like the CD Vintage Plug, it's simply too small for me, though may be a perfect fit for some people.

this is a great high-quality cheaply priced toy.

I'd like it a little more if it was more red than orange.

For me the shape was too skinny.

Reusability: 20/20
Can be used by anyone with an anus, and is easily cleaned.

It was just too skinny for me.

I don't anticipate using this toy often.
