Oil

Massage candles are amongst my top favourite bedroom accessories. I love how they effortlessly combine a relaxing visual & scented ambience with hands-on sensuality. I was therefore very excited to be offered some massage candles from Lovehoney's new Apothecary range to test & review. I have both the Arouse and Seduce scented Lovehoney Apothecary Massage Candles.

This oil is strawberry flavoured and is designed as an edible massage to ensure an erotic and romantic massage. Although I have a smaller size bottle, the full size bottle of Earthly Body Strawberry Edible Massage Oil you can buy through the links contains 236ml - so it's a decent size for if your planning a night away with some goodies and has an easy unscrew lid to allow access to tip easily onto your partners back or where else you might fancy…

The lubricant provided a really smooth feel, and was somewhat sheeny in its appearance but really did not feel sticky or feel like it left too much of a residue after use.  The Boy Butter Original Oil Based Personal Lubricant was fairly long lasting and did not require much of any reapplication during use and did provide quite a consistent slide to it for a a good period of time.

Last week saw the celebration of YES Organic Intimacy Week, highlighted in my recent feature. As part of the awareness campaign, YES sent me a very generous gift hamper full of fun merch, information and the main organic essentials from their well-researched and effective range. As promised, I'm writing up my review of the YES Organic Lubricants and Intimate Moisturisers included in the gift hamper, now I've had a chance to properly use and enjoy them.

I chose to test the YES OB Plant Oil Based Lube with my newest glass dildo which features a very large bulbous head. Normally I would only use a tint drop of water based lube on a glass toy but the sheer size of the head on this made me want to try something more substantial that was going to last.

The YES OB Organic Plant Oil Based Lubricant isn’t the thickest lube I must admit, and over time, perhaps with the oils heating up and being squeezed a few times, this lube seems to have gotten runnier and has thinned out slightly from the first time I used it. I don’t really think it’s thick enough for use anally. The texture does mean, however, that you could use it also as a massage oil in a pinch, a use which the product itself claims you can do.

The always lovely Cara Sutra sent me the DONA Chocolate Mousse Kissable Massage Oil to try out from the DONA by JO collection. Massage oil isn’t something I usually play around with so it’s been interesting testing this one out.

When I saw that there were a couple of miniature bottles of sweet-sounding massage oil up for reviewing during February's round, I eagerly put myself forward.

I was very pleased to have been given the opportunity to review this product (thanks Cara!). I like both massages and strawberries, so this seemed like the perfect combination! DONA by JO is a collection designed by System JO and aimed towards women...

I have to say I adore this lube, I loved inserting it into Mrs Kink and getting her messy, the lube got everywhere.  Our anal lube of choice is normally ID Backslide, however the Crisco Ass Fisting Lube now sits alongside this, for its ease of use and insertion and the fact that it didn't dry out and made the experience very enjoyable for the both of us.
