Mates SKYN Natural Condoms Review

Mates SKYN Natural Condoms Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£12.99
Materials:
Latex
The relationship may have come to an end but my love of sex and play has not and my skin to skin play is on hold for the time being so I was in need of plenty more condoms! As it would happen Cara's sex toy tester program had just started and she required a reviewer to test out the Mates SKYN Natural Condoms which I was more than happy to volunteer my dick for.
John Thomas Toys Depth Training Colon Snake Silicone Dildo Review

John Thomas Toys Depth Training Colon Snake Silicone Dildo Review

8 out of 10
...the Colon Snake is one of the longest on the market. Compared to other anal depth trainers which are of uniform width, the head provides a little extra stimulation on the way out too, without being so big that it might get caught on something. It's a fun little feature, and if your fantasy is a snake up the bum, you're sorted.

John Thomas Toys Platinum Silicone Sampson Squirting Dildo Review

10 out of 10
Sampson won’t just fill your every hole with his enormous girth; he’ll also cum all over you. That’s because the Sampson is a rare breed—a squirting dildo—so you can live out all your bukkake or creampie fantasies.
Cottelli Sheer Crotchless Tights Review

Cottelli Sheer Crotchless Tights Review

7 out of 10
I always struggle to find decent tights having a relatively long inside leg measurement of 33”, so when I was given the opportunity to review these Cottelli Sheer Crotchless Tights from Lovehoney for the Cara Sutra sex blog I was interested to see how they would measure up.

Jopen Opal Glass Rabbit Vibrator Review

Brand:
Jopen
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Glass, Silicone
When I first saw the Jopen Opal Glass Rabbit Vibrator online I decided right then that I wanted it. The gorgeous sleek design, the combination of glass and silicone, that bulbous head!! It looked incredible and top quality. So when it was on offer I had to buy it.
Cottelli Hold Up Stockings with Striped Tops Review

Cottelli Hold Up Stockings with Striped Tops Review

3 out of 10
As someone relatively new to the pleasure of hold-ups, I was delighted to receive a pair of Cottelli Hold Up Stockings with Striped Tops to review. I'm a UK size 16 and the stockings came in large, to fit size 16-18.
Cottelli Crotchless Tights with Back Seam Review

Cottelli Crotchless Tights with Back Seam Review

10 out of 10
Delicate, but not fragile, these German minus-the-panty-hose are a gift to the skin. Even without having shaved my legs, these hose made my legs feel silky smooth. Though you can see that, like all beautiful hose, they are in danger of snagging, they are somewhat resistant because of the quality. I’m pretty confident I’ll get more than one wear out of these gorgeous hose.
Lubido Hybrid Lubricant Review

Lubido Hybrid Lubricant Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£9.99
Brand:
Lubido
Shop:
Bondara
Materials:
Silicone, Water
The first thing you can’t miss about the Lubido Hybrid Lubricant is the colour and we love it! The white colour makes a pleasant change from other lubes and its likeness to cum adds to the excitement. The bottle has the Lubido branding with purple bubbles and a pump action dispenser including a handy safety clip to avoid any unwanted squirting.
Fifty Shades Darker Clit Clamp Review

Fifty Shades Darker Clit Clamp Review

10 out of 10
Those who know me know that I’m pretty much up for anything. However, the arrival of the Fifty Shades Darker Clit Clamp from did cause me to cross my legs and whimper for a short time. In short, the thought of clamping anything onto my precious privates was terrifying! But, in the name of science I bit the bullet, locked the front door and got ready to experiment.

Fifty Shades Darker Kinky Fuckery Wild Couples Kit Review

8 out of 10
With the release of the Fifty Shades of Grey books, then movies, came a whole host of fascinating kinky toys. Hardcore 50 Shades fans are no longer classed as 'newbies' to BDSM; some couples have graduated from beginner’s bondage to the more adventurous bondage kits. The Fifty Shades Darker Kinky Fuckery Wild Couples Kit is absolutely suitable for beginners to BDSM, but is also suitable for those who want to go a little further. 
Leg Avenue 1000Q Sheer Backseam Thigh High Stockings Review

Leg Avenue 1000Q Sheer Backseam Thigh High Stockings Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£4.00
Materials:
Nylon
I wore mine attached to a suspender belt and knickers and they felt and looked wonderful.  I also wore them without the suspender belt on another night and they seemed...seamed… :-) to stay up, which isn’t always the case with seamed thigh-high’s --believe me!

Seven Creations Roll Play Medium Butt Plug Review

8 out of 10
The Seven Creations Roll Play Medium Butt Plug (with jiggle ball and suction cup) was ordered from Lovehoney together with three other anal sex toys I thought would be suitably sized for my experience level. They all arrived in the same box within 2 working days of placing the order.

Remote Control Vibrating Panties Review

6 out of 10
Price:
£24.99
The Remote Control Vibrating Panties are made from waterproof fabric and the product has a soft inner lining for comfort. Encased inside the thong is a hidden pouch in which you slip the bullet vibrator during use. On the outer edge of the panty is an elasticated strap which forms the thong part of the underwear and holds the remote control panties in place.
Cottelli Collection Lace Caged Bra and Panty Set Review

Cottelli Collection Lace Caged Bra and Panty Set Review

2 out of 10
There is no boning or padding in the bra so this offers very little support or shaping. Also, the super stretchy straps meant it was difficult to keep the lingerie in place during sex. The double strap on the thong kept bunching together and the bra kept spinning around.
Leg Avenue Kink Faux Leather Studded Eye Mask Review

Leg Avenue Kink Faux Leather Studded Eye Mask Review

7 out of 10
I like comparing products, and with a bit of experience with masks, I thought it was the perfect product for me to cast my eyes over this month and so here are my thoughts on the Leg Avenue Kink Faux Leather Studded Eye Mask.

Seven Til Midnight Lotus Pattern Bodystocking Review

10 out of 10
Once ready, the Seven Til Midnight Lotus Pattern Body Stocking was so easy to put on. The thick fabric is like a giant pair of opaque tights and clings to every curve of my body. You’ll notice that I am wearing my underwear in these photographs because the fabric is very sheer and the body stocking is crotchless.

Brand:
Lubido
Shop:
Bondara
Materials:
Water
Often if I’m doing a bit of online shopping of the risqué nature I will just add a bottle of lube “just in case” or “it always comes in handy!”  Along comes the lubricant we have today, the Lubido Aloe Infused Anal Ease Lubricant to give it its Sunday name.
