Beyond the usual; realistic versus abstract design preferences, I suppose aesthetics usually don’t play a huge factor in most folks’ decisions on whether or not to buy a dildo.
Maybe I’m wrong here, but I imagine, most people read online product specs, with the hope of accurately gauging whether a dildo’s overall dimensions, (i.e., length, width, and girth) will be compatible with their personal preferences. All while holding their breath that the toy they ultimately wind up choosing,
Okay, I have to make a quick confession. The Noje W3 is one of the rare instances where the size of a toy took me by complete and utter surprise. This was in large part, due to a (slightly-embarrassing) oversight of mine. My failure to read the product guide in its entirety. Whoops!
Another factor, which led to my severe misjudgment of the Noje W3’s size and scale, stems from my (wrongheaded,
Earlier this year, Tantus, announced the release of their new, beginner-friendly, Super Soft Silicone™ formula. With Vamp, one of Tantus’s mainstays, being the first dildo to undergo the transformation.
I’ll give Tantus’s marketing team credit. They certainly know how to stir up a buzz. I personally, caught my first glimpses of the Super Soft Vamp via one of Tantus’s promotional emails.
In the days before my discovery of sex toy reviewers and sex blogs, if someone were to ask me, “What is your ideal sex toy?”
I would have little doubt, unabashedly replied, “A hands-free one!” Just like that, with little to no consideration. (My second choice, most likely, a rabbit, ha!)
Ignorance ≠ Bliss
Similar to the child who wants a puppy for Christmas having no concept of the amount of work that goes into caring for a pet,
I’m a sucker for novelty of any kind. So is it any wonder that I’m partial to the strangest types of lubricant I can find? I have a habit of seeking out and experimenting with the most unusual varieties available. This is exactly why I had to try Sliquid’s Sizzle. A water-based, menthol-infused lube. For those who may be unfamiliar, Sizzle is a highly ethical company. Intent on producing top quality lubrication products.
These bloggers are the very people who inspired me to do what I do. I want them to know that even though it can feel as though they are not having an impact, on the world that they truly are! Without their combined voices bringing awareness to toxic toys and their horrible consequences, sex toy companies would have free reign. Thanks for holding them accountable.
Toy manufacturers would yet be using unsafe materials and utilizing hurtful and offensive marketing tactics in the manufacturing and selling of sex toys had these brave bloggers not stood together in solidarity,
I’ll let you in on a little secret. I’ve never tried a realistic dildo. It’s not that they freak me out or anything. It’s just that there is such a huge range of abstract shapes and sizes to choose from, that I always find myself drawn to features that can’t be found in nature. So it was not particularly surprising that I was instantly attracted to a swirly, ridged dildo like the Mini Rippler.
I’ve heard all the unfavorable sentiments surrounding dual stimulation or “rabbit style” vibrators. The most common criticism being, how they rarely work with every body’s unique anatomy. Yet, I find myself choosing my sex toys like I choose my partners. Meaning, I’d never allowed a bit of a bad reputation to scare me off.
For those of you who may be new to sex toys and may be wondering why The G-Tickler is described as a “rabbit style” vibrator.
