It’s a joy to introduce you to this exceptional toy: Meet the Barbarian! Sent to me by John Thomas Toys, the Barbarian is by far the biggest toy I have ever used! Let me tell you all about how this 3 lb chunk of silicone has been blowing my mind …
The G Spot Slim Mini Vibe
What can I say about the G Spot Slim Mini Vibe from Cloud 9 Novelties except “Yes, please. More.”? It is a small, slim, fabulous vibrator that packs a punch and has become my number one go-to toy. But let me tell you why …
Cloud 9 Novelties Personal Mushroom Massager
The nice folks over at Cloud 9 were kind enough to send me a whole box of goodies and this little mushroom massager is among my favourites. It’s small, quiet, multi-purpose and very cute. I love sex toys you can leave out like objets d’art and this little toadstool is adorable and looks inconspicuous on…
Maker Spotlight: Creative Kink Toys
Canes. Even the word gives me a little shiver, a frisson of emotion and memory, because once you’ve wielded one, and especially after you’ve been struck with one, you never, ever forget. But not all canes are created equal, so let me tell you why here at Chez Violet we LOVE the canes from Creative…
Accommodator Chin Strap Dildo
The Accommodator Chin Strap Dildo is the fifth and final toy sent to me for review from the good folks at HotCherry, and I’d like to say a big thanks to them for sending me some of my new favourite toys like The Seed Plug and the Suga’ Daddy dildo. I wish I could say…
Suga’ Daddy Dildo
I can never decide which I like better: hyper realistic dildos or ones that are fully abstract. I think that ultimately, some of my faves land right in the middle of that spectrum: phallic but not meant to exactly emulate a penis in a natural way. The Suga’ Daddy , made by Rock Candy, perfectly…
Vibrating Puppy Tail Plug Review
This is a strange review to write because, due to personal circumstances, I never got a chance to try wearing this vibrating puppy tail myself. I’m a fan of butt plugs but this one was a big hit with Loverboy and he ended up with it after our recent break up. C’est la vie. I…
“Curve” Dildo
This summer Hotcherry spoiled me with toys for review. My first review of the treasure trove of products they sent me can be read here (spoiler alert: it’s my fave plug of all time!) and this little beauty, the Curve from Tantus is a new favourite too! It’s a great size and shape, perfect density…
The Crucidix
When first I saw The Crucidix, I almost spat out my coffee. I was on Twitter, and it was an image that had been retweeted onto my timeline and I knew I had to know more. I immediately followed their account and began my obsession with this weird and wonderful toy. As it turns out,…
The Devil Horn Dildo from LoveCrafters Toys
As a sex blogger and toy reviewer, there comes a point in your career where you are just sick to death of mainstream, boring, seedy-neighbourhood-XXX- sex-shop-toys, and you develop a taste for things that are more interesting. But what makes a sex toy interesting or good? That’s a question that is beyond subjective, but we…
Toy Review: Atom Plus from Hot Octopuss
I was so hopeful when Hot Octopuss kindly sent me the Atom Plus after my reviews of The Atom and The Queen Bee. The Atom worked well enough for Fantastik Mr. Fawkes but had some fundamental flaws and The Queen Bee was a lost cause in terms of orgasm arrival for me. Despite the first…
Chrystalino Seed Glass Butt Plug
When the good folks at HotCherry reached out to me about reviewing some fun new toys, I was happy to say yes with the usual caveats: that they send me more than one item so I can get a feel for their overall brand quality and that they let me choose the products. The rep…
Shop Review: The Glass Dildo
This is not a single toy review – this is a brand review, of The Glass Dildo, a fabulous online shop from the UK that carries a huge selection of, you guessed it, glass dildos! They’ve also got plugs aplenty, spanking implements and a variety of light BDSM gear and lingerie. My current glass collection…
Toy Review: LoveHoney Advent Calendar
Welcome to the most exciting toy review I have ever posted! I am SO excited to share the LoveHoney “Best Sex of Your Life” Couples’ Advent Calendar with you! As with most commercial advent calendars, this box of sensual delights delivers 24 days of items, however, unlike the waxy chocolates of your childhood advent calendars…
Queen Bee Review
The Queen Bee is the second toy that Hot Octopuss has sent me and I continue to be impressed with them as a sex toy brand. Their products are sleek, understated (no “dildo pink” or “approachable vibrator purple” in their line) and beautifully made with awesome and innovative technology. As a brand I love and…
Toy Review: Noje G Slim Rechargeable Vibrator
I suppose it happens eventually: you come across a toy that you’re testing and reviewing that you really do not like or does not work for you. It doesn’t happen often, but I’m sad to say it’s the case with the Noje G Slim Rechargeable Vibrator by Blush Novelties, sent to me compliments of PeepShow Toys.
