Bondara Velvet Touch Silicone Rechargeable Midi Wand Vibrator Review | Pleasure Panel

9 out of 10
Price:
£31.99
Brand:
Bondara
Shop:
Bondara
Materials:
Silicone
I have to admit that I didn't expect much from the Bondara Velvet Touch Silicone Rechargeable Midi Wand Vibrator. For starters, it was smaller than I expected (although the clue was in the name, it's not called midi for nothing) and the head of the vibrator is flexible. I didn't think I would be able to apply enough pressure on my vulva to be able to come.
Rocks Off Petite Sensations 7 Speed Butt Plug Review

Rocks Off Petite Sensations 7 Speed Butt Plug Review

7 out of 10
Price:
£17.99
Anal exploration is something I desire.  Whether it is on my wife or myself, a new pleasure zone is enticing.  For myself, I own two prostate massagers.  For us as a couple, we have the We-Vibe Dusk and now have the Rocks Off Petite Sensations 7 Speed Butt Plug.  Thank you, Cara Sutra, for providing us with this toy as part of the sex toy tester program.

System JO Premium Jelly Silicone Based Personal Lubricant Review

9 out of 10
We can never understand when someone does not have a supply on hand.  Silicone lube is new for us though.  We started with and have yet to deviate from water-based products.  When we were asked to review the System JO Premium Jelly Silicone Based Personal Lubricant for this month's Pleasure Panel, we were more than thrilled.

Lovehoney Moonlight Black Plunge Basque Set Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£39.99
Brand:
Lovehoney
Materials:
Lace
I was thrilled to be selected to review an absolutely gorgeous basque from Lovehoney. I have always been a fan of their lingerie as it seems the perfect mix of sexy, yet comfortable and practical! Thank you to the Pleasure Panel for this great opportunity.
Rocks Off Petite Sensations Teazer Purple Vibrating Butt Plug Review

Rocks Off Petite Sensations Teazer Purple Vibrating Butt Plug Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£16.99
I like the look of the Teazer butt plug and don't find it intimidating at all like some anal toys can appear to be. The feeling differs with vibration and the different modes. Not just because of its smooth and thin design and flexibility, I'd definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to begin exploring anal play.

Bondara Essentials Cooling Tingling Lubricant Review | Pleasure Panel

8 out of 10
Price:
£5.99
Brand:
Bondara
Shop:
Bondara
Materials:
Silicone, Water
I really enjoyed the use of the Bondara Essentials Cooling Tingling Lubricant, the overwhelming senses did lead to a brilliant orgasm and boy does the cooling hanging around for a long time – the smell is very strong, it’s quite medicinal, normally I’d be all over this lube as it has menthol in it but it does honk and the intense feelings are a fine line between enjoyment and pain but overall if it didn’t have glycerine in it, I’d rate this lube quite high.

Loving Joy Bound to Please Through-Hole Penis Plug 25mm Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£12.95
Materials:
Metal
I was given the opportunity to review the Loving Joy Bound to Please Through-Hole Penis Plug for the Pleasure Panel this month and I’m glad I did.  After a couple of months of “finding” myself after discovering the absolute joy of urethral sounding, I was more than keen to try out a penis plug and see if a more shallow insertion which is worn longer is equally as enjoyable.

Bondara Essentials Anal Relax Lubricant Review | Pleasure Panel

Materials:

I received the Bondara Essentials Anal Relax Lubricant from Bondara via the Pleasure Panel for an open and honest review.

Bondara Small Black Silicone Heart Vibrating Butt Plug Review | Pleasure Panel

9 out of 10
Price:
£14.99
Brand:
Bondara
Shop:
Bondara
Materials:
Silicone
...at the January Pleasure Panel round I thought the best thing to do was to volunteer to test only the smallest plug available for review, and here I am with the pretty, non-intimidating Bondara Small Black Silicone Heart Vibrating Butt Plug.

Bondara Essentials Chocolate Lubricant Review | Pleasure Panel

8 out of 10
Price:
£4.99
Brand:
Bondara
Shop:
Bondara
Materials:
Water
Well, let’s first admit I am really into kissable/edible sex essentials, not only lube but also massage oils, body paint, flavoured lip glosses and clitoral balms. Not only because I’m blatantly someone who REALLY loves food – and sweet food, sadly, is on the top ten of my favourites – but also because I feel they really bring new sensations to sex...

Bondara Essentials Spunk Lubricant Review | Pleasure Panel

7 out of 10
Price:
£5.99
Brand:
Bondara
Shop:
Bondara
Materials:
Water
I was too curious to try this Bondara Essentials Spunk Lubricant! Since my guy lives in another city because of his work, I have definitely experienced what “I crave a good old facial and I just cannot have it right now” means; also, having some (fake) jizz always ready for some torrid bukkake play on Skype seemed a fun and stimulating idea. In this kind of situations, after all, play and creativity are the only things that help you survive the relationship I’m afraid :)

Fun Factory Stronic G Pulsator 2 Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£142.00
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Silicone
Rarely do I come across a new sensation in what looks like a standard G spot vibrator. But the Fun Factory Stronic G is not a vibrator. It’s a thrusting pulsator, with a motor of the likes I have never encountered before.  To say I was excited to try the Fun Factory Stronic G Pulsator 2 would be an understatement.

Crystal Delights Pink Faux Bunny Tail Butt Plug Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£65.00
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Glass
So finally, I really enjoyed this Crystal Delights Tail Plug, it was fun to play with and I was pleasantly surprised at how soft the tail itself was considering it's faux fur – you really wouldn’t know!
Crystal Delights Clear Green Sphinx Butt Plug Review

Crystal Delights Clear Green Sphinx Butt Plug Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£60.00
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Glass
As you can probably tell, I have fallen in love with the Crystal Delights Clear Green Sphinx Butt Plug. Its high quality, body safe, beautiful, and a pleasure to wear. Its perfect for solo play and couples play. I would recommend it to people who love glass sex toys and are looking for something unique and very special. I would also recommend it to beginners, who have some experience of glass sex toys. 
Crystal Delights Swarovski Crystal Butt Plug Review

Crystal Delights Swarovski Crystal Butt Plug Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£60.00
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Glass
Despite being a lover of all things anal (mainly giving, I must add), I have fairly limited experience when it comes to glass butt plugs and what is available on the market, Crystal Delights made an impact with their Crystal Delights Swarovski Crystal Butt Plug that I will not be forgetting any time soon!

Lovehoney Elixir Luxury Lace Crotchless Cut-Out Body Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£29.99
Brand:
Lovehoney
Materials:
Lace
The Lovehoney Elixir Luxury Lace Crotchless Cut-Out Body is the third item I’ve tried from the new Lovehoney Elixir range. I treated myself to the corset and body chain just before Christmas and love them but couldn’t justify a third piece.

Nexus Revo Slim Prostate Massager Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£150.00
This month we had the pleasure of reviewing the Nexus Revo Slim Prostate Massager from Nexus Range. With a price tag at £150 were expecting good & exciting things. Its going up Mr Strapon_banana’s bum so he will take the lead from now :)
Crystal Delights Pink Rosebud Delight Butt Plug Review

Crystal Delights Pink Rosebud Delight Butt Plug Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£105.00
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Glass
I do not think I am gushing unreasonably when I say that this plug is the most gorgeous toy I’ve seen this year. I am an absolute sucker for things that look like other things, and this piece's "bud" shape that is literally a rosebud shape is positively squeal-worthy. I can envision giving the Crystal Delights Pink Rosebud Delight Plug to a partner in a bundle of short-stemmed roses at the beginning of a date (perhaps with a mandate to put it in immediately before we leave…).

Loving Joy Bound to Please Triple Cock and Ball Ring Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£12.95
Materials:
Metal
I do own several different styles and materials of cock rings. The Loving Joy Bound to Please Triple Cock and Ball Ring is a style of product I haven't experienced. I was pleased when I was selected to test the ring from March Pleasure Panel round, which arrived from Loving Joy via Cara Sutra.

Loving Joy Bound to Please Silicone Dog Bone Gag Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£24.95
Materials:
Silicone
We are delighted to be reviewing the Loving Joy Bound to Please Silicone Dog Bone Gag from Loving Joy as a couple were into bondage and already have a good collection of other gags… Ring gags, cock gags, ball gags you name it! But this gag looks a little bit different, so we’re excited to test it out.
