Cush O2
For today's review I'll be looking at the Cush O2 by Tantus. As usual, click the pictures to see the larger version.
Packaging:
Four Views:
Size Comparison:
You probably got the memo by now, Cush is a rather girthy toy. (If you're looking for a slightly slimmer toy, the Flurry may be more up your alley.) The white material is Tantus's SuperSoft, while the colored core is firmer; together these make a lovely dual density pure silicone dildo. Cush is 1.75" wide, and has 6.5" of insertable awesomeness. This toy is also on the heavy side, and has a decent thud for slapping a [consenting] face or clitoris.
The Cush O2 is straight up, a fabulous dildo. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it's also shaped excellently. Insertion with any water based lube, I went with Sliquid Satin, is comfortable and pleasurable. For vaginal use, I found the head caressed my front vaginal walls and my g-spot perfectly. The second ridge I didn't notice often in vaginal use as the first one would be rubbing against my g-spot; but when I did notice it, it tended to be right inside at my vaginal opening. For anal use, the toy is safe as it has a wide base. I found it worked fine anally, and I certainly felt the second ridge there. The base is a bit heavy and I noticed this more with anal use, and would strain my wrist a bit. This base also makes Cush o-ring harness friendly. Due to Cush's lovely shape, it's also excellent for thrusting. I did not encounter any pain with this dildo, though I'm sure if it was made of a firmer material, my orifices would not have been nearly so happy with it.
For cleaning, one can simply wash it with soap and water, or boil the toy. As Cush is made of silicone, it will attract lint, though not a ton. One can cover Cush with saran wrap to keep it clean between uses.

This is a marvelous dildo. I would definitely buy it if I didn't have it.

but for texture I really appreciate the thick SuperSoft material.

Also Tantus has a cheeky note on the package that this is a toy that's intended for use.
Reusability: 20/20
Can be used alone or with a partner, and is easily cleaned.
Best Functionality: 49/50
The base is a little clunky, and when using alone can tire the wrist.

Otherwise though: everything's excellent.

Vintage Delight Small Plug
For today's review, I'll be looking at the Vintage Delight Small Plug by Crystal Delights. I finally have a working digital camera, so I figured I'd start out with an extremely gorgeous toy. All images can be clicked for their full version.
Seriously, you should click these to see the big versions. This plug is so, so pretty.
If that didn't convince you that you need to buy a Crystal Delights plug right now, I don't know what will. They're super gorgeous, and can also come with sparkly ends, different colors, or furry tails.
This is by far the most beautiful toy I own, and is always on display instead of in the lovely black pouch it came with. This glass plug can be dropped and will not shatter, which is lovely. The frosted glass turns clear when lube is applied to it, and since it's glass one can use any lube without damaging the toy. For care, it can be simply washed with soap and water, or a 10% bleach solution- one doesn't want to boil this toy because the medallion may get damaged.
For actual use, this plug was unfortunately a little too small for me. The insertable part is 2.8 inches, and the width of the bulb is 1.3 inches. It was certainly fun to wear and admire, it just wasn't quite wide enough for me sexually.
I would highly recommend this toy to anyone who is new to anal play, or enjoys small plugs. Otherwise, I would look into their slightly larger plugs and dildos.
Aesthetics: 20/20
Wins the "most likely to stare at instead of doing work" award.
Pleasure: 48/75

Holiday Scalloped Babydoll and G-String
For today's review I'll be looking at Holiday Scalloped Babydoll and G-String by Coquette. This is going to be an image heavy post, and the images can be clicked for their full size version.
Packaging:
Thong Indent:
Best View:
I have mixed feelings about this magenta, more red than purple, and black set. The top is lovely, and the mesh is surprisingly comfortable and not itchy. However the top is a pain in the neck to get on. There are four little hooks and eyes, and I could only get the top and bottom ones; whenever I went for a middle one, another one would come undone. The top has underwire and light padding. I appreciate that the bow was attached with a safety pin- I personally prefer the set without the bow. The thong was a little tight and bit into my skin. With my body shape, and falling right between Coquette's medium and large, it would have been better to have the large thong, but stick with the medium top. The thong is rather cute though, with magenta and black designs.
The measurements for the piece are as follows, and keep in mind this is for the medium. The bra straps when extended are 15.5", and shortened they are 8.5". The straps are made of a stretchy but sturdy material. The mesh skirt portion is 12.5" long. The babydoll and thong need to be hand washed and hung to dry as they are rather delicate. This set comes with a lovely soft hanger, so it won't get wrinkled when not in use.
I wish Coquette also offered this as a bra and g-string set, as that would just be a little more usable. Lovely as this set is, it won't see the world outside my bedroom. This set is rather comfortable, and given the option to wear it more often, I would.

I loved the way the top fit. The thong, not so much.
