I Rub My Duckie Travel Size Hoodie Kitty


I was recently sent the I Rub My Duckie Travel Size Hoodie Kitty to review by the lovely folks at Sinfreetoys.com. Having had my eye on the ‘I Rub My Duckie’ collection of waterproof vibrating ducks by Big Teaze Toys for a couple years now; I was delighted to finally get to try one for myself.

Sinfreetoys.com is an online store offering a wide selection of bedroom toys for both religious and non-religious couples and individuals. They are a sex positive site, promoting sex as a sinless act. Browsing the site for the first time, I was impressed with the layout which makes the site easy to navigate, and by how well they show the products with clear images.

The I Rub My Duckie arrived surprisingly soon considering I’m in Ireland and used to longer shipping times, and was in sturdy and discreet plain cardboard packaging from Sinfreetoys.

-Packaging

Removing my new Duckie its discreet outer packaging and seeing it in person for the first time, I couldn’t help but quite literally squeal at just how cute she is! With the product packaging made of clear plastic, it really shows off the Hoodie wearing Duckie in all her glory, with only the back panel of the clear plastic box covered with kitten imagery and a bullet list of the toys features (even using kitten paw prints as bullet point marks!)



-Design

Removed from her packaging, the Duckie feel strong, sturdy and heavier than expected. The Duckie I received is a lovely matt black with pink detailing but she can also be bought in white and pink. With her soft and furry kitten eared hoodie which even features an embroidered pink kitten nose and grey whiskers and has two hanging pom-poms, she could easily pass for being an ornament on your bedside lockers. She has bright blue eyes, two pink kitten paw marks on her side and the most beautiful shimmering pink beak, the well thought out attention to detail is what really gives this duck visual appeal, and visual appeal she certainly has!

-Material

Made of Phthalate Free PVC, The I Rub My Duckies are also latex free and Hypo-allergenic. PVC is a water resistant material which offers a long life cycle and does not require much maintenance. PVC toys should be cleaned with warm water and antibacterial soap or with a specialized sex toy cleaner. It is safe to use both Silicone-based and water-based lubricants with this toy.

-Function

Powered by just one AAA battery, the I Rub My Duckie Travel Size Hoodie Kitty is designed like all duckies in the Big Teaze Toys’ range to be a waterproof massager, safe for use in both the shower and bath. Because this toy is designed to be so waterproof the opening of its battery compartment is a little different than most toys I have come across, with either a screwdriver needed or if you don’t have a screwdriver a butter knife will work. It’s not that the compartment is locked into place with strews but it actually twists closed so securely that the base itself is screwed into place, meaning you will most likely need a tool to do this properly, though I have managed to open and close mine using my nails. If you care about your nails or ensuring that your Duckie is fully waterproof before use, I highly recommend having a tool on hand.

Switched on with a simple twist of her control which is located on her base, the Duckie has a single speed which is actually much stronger than I expected from a toy of its size and is definitely powerful enough for me to enjoy either clitorally or even as a massager on the back, neck and shoulders, and she really does work well for neck massage after a long day! One of my favourite ways to use the Duckie is to incorporate her into a back massage by giving my husband control of her and letting him choose a spot to work on with her. She does a remarkable job on my neck and shoulders for such a little massager. When using for massage I find pressing either the base or sides against the spot works best but for a more intimate massage, the tail of the Duckie works perfectly.

Discreetly sitting amongst my non-vibrating rubber Duckies


Pros: Incredibly cute! Discreet enough to sit out on the bath or bedside table, suitable for use in the bath or shower, works well as a back and neck massager.

Cons: Vibrations can be quite noisy so is not discreet in terms of noise level.

In Summary:

The I Rub My Duckie Travel Size Hoodie Kitty is a beautifully designed massager that begs to be sat out on the side of the bath or in the bedroom for decoration. With her strong vibrations and suitability for neck massage, she makes a wonderful choice of romantic gift and is so discreet and non-intimidating in appearance that she makes a perfect choice of first vibrator.



The I Rub My Duckie Travel Size Hoodie Kitty Black is available to buy from Sinfreetoys.com - Here or in the white option - Here

Thank you to the lovely folks at Sinfreetoys for providing me with my Duckie to review.

Jessica Rabbit G-Spot Slim


I was recently contacted by the lovely folks at Adultstoysdirect.com to test a toy of my choice for them. Having recently been disappointed with a rabbit vibrator I had purchased, I jumped at the chance to test the Jessica Rabbit G-Spot Slim vibrator, hoping that it would be the toy to make me fall in love with rabbits again.


The Jessica Rabbit G-Spot Slim vibrator by Loving Joy arrived promptly from Adultstoysdirect.com The packaging of the product itself is plastic and features an image of a sexy bikini-clad cartoon woman along with lots of information about the product, with its functions all well listed on the back of the packaging.



-First Impression

Removed from its packaging, I was impressed with the bright colours of the rabbit. To the feel, it seems that bit sturdier than other rabbits I have tried, which is important to me as my first few rabbit vibrators from my early days of sex toys were all quite quick to break in use, with the rotating functions no match for my kegel muscles. The Jessica Rabbit G-Spot Slim instead feels like it could handle rough use more in its stride. T he base of the toy is waterproof and feel well put together. With this being a slim option of toy, it also has a slimmer base than alot of rabbit vibes which makes it easier and more comfortable to hold onto.

The material of the toy is scent-free and though it has the appearance of a Jelly type material, it doesn’t have that sticky feel to it. Made from TPR, it is Skin Safe, Both Phthalates and latex free and can be used with either water or silicone based lubes.

-Measurements

The insertable length of the shaft measures in at a petite 4 ½ inches, while the circumference of the shaft is 3 ¾ inches , making this a great option for a newcomer to toys or someone like me who’s body has a preference for the more petite. The rabbit part of the vibrator extends out two inches from the shaft.

-Function

Powered by 4 AA batteries, The Jessica Rabbit G-Spot Slim has an amazing total of 36 functions, yes you read that right! The bunny ears alone boast 6 different functions, while the four rows of rotating metallic beads of the shaft offer six speeds and can rotate in either direction. The controls of the rabbit are relatively easy to understand despite there being no real instructions included. Separate buttons control the rotating shaft and the rabbit function, with one button each for switching them on and off and another for moving up through the various speeds and functions. The rabbit part of the toy runs through several modes of vibration and pulsing vibrations modes and the rotating shaft over several speeds of rotation and an rotate in both directions, switching from clockwise to anti-clockwise rotations at certain
intervals.



-Experience

As I mentioned earlier, I haven’t always had the best experiences with rabbit vibes, between rotation functions breaking and some having either faulty or overly-complicated controls. I started my first session with the Jessica G-Spot Slim with an open mind. Inserting the four AA’s into the battery compartment was simple, with the base of the toy removed with one twist. Once open, the compartment id clearly marked, telling you which way to place the batteries. When the lid is screwed back into place it feels secure and features a rubber ring around the base which helps keep it water-tight for use in the bath or shower. 

Switched on, the vibration of the rabbit is strong while the rotation of the shaft is fast, smooth and steady. Being a petite toy, the shaft is incredibly comfortable when inserted and can be angled to help it reach the G-spot. The rabbit part of the toy measuring two inches easily reaches the spot and the strong vibrations carrying right through to the tips of the ears really do the trick.




As someone who finds very few rabbits comfortable in use, I was pleased to find that the Jessica Rabbit G-Spot Slim with all its power and rotation was both pleasing and comfortable, even when angled so as to point towards the G-spot. The base of the toy is easily gripped and the controls are relatively easy to manage after the first couple of uses, one thing I love about this was how no matter how carried away I was in the moment, gripping on to the base tightly didn’t once lead to any accidently pressed buttons. I find there’s nothing worse during a session than having an orgasm ruined by a slip onto a button.

One of my favourite ways to enjoy the Jessica Rabbit G-Spot Slim is to use the rotating beads for external stimulation but pressing them against my clit allowing them to roll over it, even better again, the rabbit part of the toy can be switched on and pressed against the clit still allowing the rotating beads to rest over you clit and lips at the same time for some pretty mind blowing clit stim.

Pros: Powerful, Waterproof, offers many speeds and functions, beginner friendly

Cons: Could do with having slightly more of a curve to reach the G-spot

In Summary:

The Jessica Rabbit G-Spot Slim Vibrator turned out to all I had hoped and more, with its easy controls, sturdy Waterproof base, and many pleasing functions it’s everything I want in a Rabbit vibe. Petite enough to suit beginners or those who don’t crave a great deal of size when reaching for a rabbit but still incredibly stimulating with its curved tip and well placed, powerful rabbit function.

The Jessica Rabbit G-Spot Slim is available to buy from Adultstoysdirect.com - Here

Clone-A-Willy Chocolate Kit


Having recently had the pleasure to mould a copy of my partner’s penis using the Clone-A-Willy dildo kit, I was excited to be getting the chance to try out the delicious sounding edible version, The Clone-A-Willy Chocolate Kit.

Like the Clone-A-Willy Dildo Kit, The Chocolate kit arrives packaged in a sturdy cylindrical plastic tube which not only protects the contents of the kit but also means that there is no extra bulk to the product, with all the contents fitting perfectly in the tube. In fact, the tube isn’t just packaging and is later used in the actual moulding of the product. With the amount of sex toys and sex toy packaging that I have around, it is definitely a bonus to notice that there is no excess packaging involved with Clone-A-Willy.



Rolled within the tube is a spread out sheet, covering one side of this sheet is what you see while the kit is still packaged, predominantly pink in colour it features a cartoon couple looking pleased with their moulded chocolate Willy along with some product information and shortened instructions (full instructions are on the back of the sheet) even nutritional information is included.

Once out of the packaging the Kit includes,

- Easy to Follow Directions

-Melt and Mould Chocolate Favoured Chips (10.5 oz)

- Specially Timed Moulding Powder (3 oz)

- Moulding Tube

- Stir Stick

- Thermometer

And now for the practical bit, the making of the chocolate willy. With Thanks to my partner for writing up this section.

-My hubbys practical guide to cloning a chocolate willy-

Having had previous experience with the “Clone A Willy” vibrator I had a fair idea of what to expect from the moulding process. The kit comes with moulding powder, instructions, milk chocolate flavour buttons, a thermometer and a wooden stick. What you will need in addition to this is warm water, a container with measurements on it, a large mixing bowl, a mixing implement (wooden spoon, spatula etc), a microwave safe bowl and a plate.

The casting process is identical to the kit I used before. There are detailed instructions on each step but they are basically as follows,

*Measure erect penis against the side of tube and cut off excess.

*Mix 425ml of water that is 37˚C (98˚F) with the entire bag of moulding gel.

*Stir for around one minute and pour into tube.

*Insert erect penis into gel and allow two minutes to set.

*Leave gel mould in fridge for around twenty minutes, turned upside down to drain on plate.

*Melt chocolate in microwave and pour into mould.

*Return to fridge and allow to set.

*Remove and enjoy!*


And there you have it, though there are much more detailed instructions included with the kit. As far as actual experience goes I found it to be easier the second time around. I had more of an idea what to expect when it came to mixing up the mould. The gel does set quickly so make sure you press the penis into it quickly.

My one problem with the process came when I had the mould made. The instructions say leave the mould upside down on a plate in a fridge, this should help it harden as well as drain excess water. When I put the mould in upside down it began to slip out of the plastic tube, the result was the top of it (where the base of my penis had been) was squashed down a little by the weight of the mould pressing down. 

The chocolate melting is very straightforward. If you have ever worked with cooking chocolate you will know what to expect. You put it in the microwave on a medium heat for thirty seconds, stir and repeat around 4-5 times. Once you have no lumps of chocolate left you pour it into the mould and stir it a little with the wooden stick to make sure it is distributed evenly.

Place the stick into the chocolate to use as a handle and leave to set. The instructions tell you to leave it for five minutes in the fridge to harden but I left it longer as I didn’t think the five minutes would be long enough for the amount of chocolate to solidify.

After about an hour I removed it from the fridge and began to extract the chocolate from the gel mould. Ours slid out with ease but you might need to run water on the base of the plastic to loosen it up. Once the entire mould is out of the plastic, you carefully peel away the gel mould. The substance is quite easy to work with and comes away easy. Once out of the mould the chocolate was covered in water from the gel. We carefully dabbed it with napkins to get rid of this and once dry it was ready to eat.



-The end Result

So after moulding and waiting for the chocolate to set (I was surprised at how little time this actually took), our delicious looking (and smelling) solid chocolate Willy was ready for the moment of truth- the taste test. To the smell, the chocolate Willy immediately reminded me of chocolate rice crispy cakes that are made using cooking chocolate so when I had the pleasure of taking the first bite I was pleased to report to my husband that it did indeed also taste like cooking chocolate. Having recently tried a few ready made erotic chocolate treats in the shapes of breasts and such, I can easily say that this is the best tasting chocolate body part we’ve had the pleasure of nibbling on! And there’s great fun to be had when you have a life sized chocolate replica of your partner’s penis on a stick. With me being the Domme, I certainly enjoyed taking those first few bites into the head of our chocolate Willy, all for my partner to watch.



Pros: Quick,fun and easy to make, comes with thorough instructions, makes a very accurate replica.

Cons: The cooking chocolate flavour might not be to everyone’s taste.

In Summary:

Overall the Clone-A-Willy is easy to mould and quick to set, our end result turned out great with just as much detail as the dildo version. A highly recommended experience for chocolate loving kinky couples!

The Love Bone Glass Dildo


-I’m one happy Doggy with this Bone-

Already owning several options of glass dildo including one that quite new and petite like this one, I wasn’t exactly on the lookout for a new glass toy to add to my collection. However, after spotting the Love Bone, it’s beautiful blue colour and unusual shape I fell in love with the thought of it and just had to have one, luckily for me with this being an impulse buy thrown in with an already big order, the Love Bone is also incredibly reasonable in price!

-Packaging-

The Love Bone arrives wrapped up in a small sheet of bubble wrap within a red velvet bag making this a wonderful item to present to someone as a gift. I ordered mine for myself but I know how impressed I would have been if my partner had presented me with such a beautiful glass dildo that arrives in a red velvet bag! The red velvet bag fits the Love Bone perfectly, there’s no tight squeeze to slid it into the bag but no great excess of material either. The bag has a black drawstring at the top which is easily pulled closed. I love else than a sheet of bubble wrap to keep the toy safe during shipping, there is no wasteful packaging involved with the Love Bone. I love that the bag is red too as it gives a more luxurious feel compared to the usual black velvet drawstring bag that you get more often.



-First Impression

Once removed from its velvet bag, I was struck by the Love Bones transparent blue beauty. The base of the Bone looks as much like the top of a heart as a bone and along the length of the toy it gently tapers down to a rounded point. The Bone is heavy for a toy of his petite size but fits comfortably in the hand. The love heart shaped base is easily gripped by placing your thumb on the top of the base and you middle finger on the bottom while placing your index between the groove in the middle, or for heavier thrusting it can be held with your thumb on one side of the base with you bent index finger on the other side gripping it comfortably.

In person the Love Bone is about the size that I would have expected it to be, laid out in my hand it is roughly the same length as it.

-Measurements

Total Length: 5 ¼ Inches

Insertable Length: 4 Inches

Circumference: Around 1 ½ Inches at the tip, 4 ¼ inches at it’s widest insertable point

-Material

The Love Bone is made of Pyrex glass which is an extremely smooth and safe, non-porous material. Being non-porous and smooth, it is very easily cleaned with warm soapy water or specialized toy wipes or spray. It is Non-porous , food-grade material, hypo-allergenic and both Latex free and Phthalates free. Pyrex glass is quite resistant to shattering and breaking and if somehow a Pyrex toy breaks it will not shatter or splinter into tiny pieces but will snap or break in large pieces instead. Pyrex also retains temperature very well meaning it is great for sitting in warm water before use or just warming up in the hands before use. Silicone, water, and oil based lubricants are all safe to use with the Love bone.

-Use/Experience

Being a fan of particularly petite toys I was eager to use the Love Bone for the first time. Not being a fan of cold toys, I decided to warm it between my hands first, with just a few short minutes holding it, it was up to a reasonable temperature for me. With its slim pointed head, it is easy and comfortable to insert and would definitely be a great option for someone wanting to try their first glass toy. I found that just the smallest amount of lube goes quite far with the Bone, lasting the length of a decent self loving session, feeling slippery the whole time.

Once inserted its curved shape and solid build has no troubling finding the g-spot. I would say it provides light g-spot stimulation and could do with being a little more curved if you are specifically looking for s-spot stimulation from the Bone. The shape of the bone is different from other toys, though it is rounded for roughly half the total length of the toy, the last couple inches of insertable length become flattened at the sides creating a different sensation than other toys and like, for me it feels like a pleasant stretch, leaving me feeling more full than a toy of this size would usually. One of my favourite ways of using my Love Bone is in the shower so I can run it under warm water from time to time. One more great thing about this dildo is that it works well for those into puppy petplay.



-Overall Impression

The Love Bone is a well priced, beautiful blue coloured glass dildo, petite and unique in design. Perfect as a beginners first glass toy or for those into petite toys or teasing. It works well as a couples toy and even feels great when used on the back during massage! The love Bone is a definite worthwhile investment.

Pros: Beautiful blue coloured glass and unique design, retains temperature, base is easy to grip.

Cons: Not much! Could maybe do with slightly more of a curve.

In Summary:

A very reasonably priced, uniquely designed coloured- glass that comes wonderfully presented in a red velvet bag. The perfect sex toy to give as a gift. Just don’t expect it to be an intense g-spot stimulator.

Qoquette Opaque thigh highs with back seam


-Glittering Seams-


After somehow managing to make it years into my stocking wearing life without ever owning a pair of stocking with a back seam, I was excited to try out a pair of Qoquette’s Opaque thigh highs with back seam.

-Packaging

The Opaque thigh highs arrive packaged in a slim paper sleeve within plastic. On the paper sleeve is a woman modelling the product with only her legs shown alongside the words ‘Flirt with Style’ Within one of the stockings itself is a piece of plain paper/thin cardboard which needs to be carefully removed. The back of the packaging lists the stockings as being hand wash only and not suitable for ironing or tumble drying.



-Wear

Once out of the packaging, the Opaque thigh highs feel light but unstretched do look opaque, when slid onto the hand and over the arm they still seem to keep their promised opaque appearance but put to the real test and worn on the leg they are still quite dark but start getting a whole lot more sheer in appearance even on some of the thinner parts of the leg.

The silver dotted back seem on these does look fantastic in wear, that is once you have ensured that the seam is straight. The hardest part to try and keep straight is, I find right at the tops which insist on skewing slightly. To the touch the little drops of silver glitter which are the back seam feel scratchy and appear to be painted on. At the top of each back seam is a delicate black bow with silver edging. Stitched into place, these are made of quite a thin ribbon but do add to the stockings. My only problem with the is that they are not stitched on very straight on mine so if details like that can ruin a look for you, you might want to avoid these for that reason.

When worn over a period of time the top on they are great at holding up by themselves though adding a garter belt I find completes the look with these. They are even light enough that they don’t make your legs clammy over extended wear. Some of my favourite ways to wear these are with either a garter belt or a pair of garter panties with shiny black ankle shoes. Wearing all black really works at showing off the fine detail of the silver back seam, making the stockings really stand out.



-Sizing


I'm five foot 4 inches and slim and could pull these right up to the top of my legs, indicating that someone of a taller height would have no problem with the fit of these, with only a few wears so far these have yet to snag or tear on me but they do feel like they could, I would say they are a medium risk of snagging and tearing especially around the foot where they are not reinforced and around the tops if used with a garter. While I do think these could stretch to accommodate someone a few sizes larger than myself, the stretch would also makes these quite sheer rather than opaque.

-Washing

As instructed on the packaging, these are hand wash only and not suitable for ironing or tumble drying. I was worried that the glitter back seam would come away in while washing these but following instruction and carefully hand washing, this wasn’t a problem.


Pros: Fine detail of the silver dotted back seam, can stay up without a garter

Cons: Not as Opaque as I would have expected, crooked bows!

In summary:

Great for wear with an all black outfit as the silver back seams are delicate but manage to stand out.
