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 [...]

The grapevine says that the Minerva cock ring by California Exotic is a pretty good cock ring. The grapevine is wrong. 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. [...]

In celebration of my graduation and my leap back into reviewing and blogging, I am excited to announce a bumpy giveaway. The wonderful Domina Doll and SexToy.com helped procure a prize for me: a set of two glass dildos made by RubyGlass21!

Subtlety is not California Exotics’s strong suit. The game goes like this: find 3 to 8 players. Each player gets a [...]

I’ve been curious for a while now about the Xtreme Kit. I am unabashed in my creepy allegiance to the Xtreme Pack G-spot bullet, but I always wondered if the Xtreme Kit was just as good. No, the bullet shapes aren’t the same, and I figured the Xtreme Pack would still win in that area, [...]

[From here on out, all my short and to-the-point reviews will be entitled Pop Shots.] I needed gloves to wear for my product videos. The Erotique Sheer Lace Gloves looked fairly cute. They’re black, lacy, and have roses on them. California Exotic makes them, so the package has a druid woman on the front. Putting [...]
