The Astrea I vibrating brief is “one size fits most,” which of course means “one size fits size small.” It cuts into my skin very efficiently. Being from the Berman Center line, it comes with a tacky purple organza bag and batteries (2 AAAs for the vibrating piece and one 12V for the remote control). [...]

There’s only so much you can say about a $20 vibrator, and so I won’t say much. The Waterproof Slender Probe measures 6 3/4″ in length, with a diameter of 1″. It takes two AAA batteries, easily loaded into the base. There are horizontal seams galore — one on the shaft, and one on the [...]

There are two surprising things about California Exotic’s Aluminum Mini butt plugs. First, uh, they’re made of aluminum, and since when does CE consider that a valid material? And second, each one comes in fairly non-offensive packaging — a small black box with a plastic covering. No naked ladies on the cover; instead, the word [...]

A while back, I wrote up a post entitled “Cal Exotic inches toward integrity,” which detailed the new and hilariously titled “Couture Collection,” a line of 100% silicone toys from California Exotic Novelties. CE is not known as a body-safe company, and many of their toys are still made of jelly, so the premiere of [...]

It may be packaged in a psuedo new age purple box and endorsed by Dr. Laura Berman. It may be named after a Roman/Greek goddess. It may be made of somewhat hygienic TPR silicone. [...]

Don’t ask me why I had to try a strap-on vibrator. I’m ashamed to admit that I ever thought it would work. It’s just that I’m getting so desperate to find something that clearly doesn’t exist — something that can adequately stimulate me hands-free during sex, and bring me to orgasm. Oh, it’s a laugh, [...]

TabuToys has taken notice of my ridiculous and unhealthy obsession with my Xtreme Pack G-spot bullet, and they presented me with an offer I could not refuse: the chance to give one away to one of my readers! My love affair with my Xtreme Pack G-spot bullet began in January of 2008, and it has [...]

Bare With Me is a sex game, so unsurprisingly, the box is beyond ridiculous; it features a jungle scene with a woman bathing, a creepy-ass park ranger leering, and a bear eating a bra. Subtlety is not California Exotics’s strong suit. The game goes like this: find 3 to 8 players. Each player gets a [...]
