Brand:

MEO RushTime Anal Sex Lube review: Sensation lubes are brilliant for introducing an exciting new dimension to sex. Warming, cooling or tingling sensations can really heighten sensitivity and spice things up.

Sportsheets Bondage Bar Review

Price:
£33.99
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Neoprene
I can get it out of the cupboard and installed on my limbs in under a minute. I do my own ankles, then kneel, curl up, arms backward, and place my wrists in the outer cuffs. All Xena has to do is fasten the velcro on my wrists.

The Rabbit Company Rabbit Ears Vibrator Review

The Rabbit Company Rabbit Ears Vibrator Review

6 out of 10
Price:
£44.95
I am shocked how powerful these speeds are to say how many there are. Having 10 speeds, you could afford to have a couple of filler speeds at the beginning (enough vibrators have these filler speeds as the actual speeds!), but even the lowest speed is powerful.
MEO XXL Anal Reaming Realistic Cock Vibrator Review

MEO XXL Anal Reaming Realistic Cock Vibrator Review

Price:
£53.00
Brand:
MEO
Shop:
MEO.de
Materials:
PVC
A sex toy that caught my eye in the latest offerings from Cara Sutra for sex toy testers was the MEO XXL Anal Reaming Realistic Cock Vibrator. Hardly surprising as it was huge, hence the name! well, imagine my surprise when I found that I had won the lottery and been granted a go at the beast.
Durex Pleasure Me Condoms Review

Durex Pleasure Me Condoms Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£8.99
Brand:
Durex
Materials:
Latex
I used the Durex Pleasure Me Condoms with my VixSkin Mustang- dildo. The condom is easy to roll on, just pinch the tip so no air gets trapped between the condom and the dildo and roll the rim to the base of the dildo. I also added some extra water based lube (My favourite is any sliquid lube) because the condom itself wasn't lubey enough for my vagina.
Durex Play Massage Gel 2in1 Review

Durex Play Massage Gel 2in1 Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
Brand:
Durex
Materials:
Water
This Durex Massage Gel is condom compatible, light, non-greasy and won't stain. The added aloe vera soothes your skin and intimate areas and compliments the fact that it's a water-based lube. It's also fragrance-free and suitable for pretty much anything (anal, vaginal and oral sex, foreplay etc).

Recently I reviewed the Aneros Progasm which packs a punch. It's an intense toy for an intense ride. Today I am writing about its smaller relation, the Aneros Helix Classic Prostate Massager

Brand:
MEO
Shop:

Overall this lube does everything it says on the bottle it's not misleading and it works, boy does it work! If you're into heavy anal sessions or are even a little afraid of trying anal this might just be for you.
Cal Exotics Booty Call Vibrating Anal Beads Review

Cal Exotics Booty Call Vibrating Anal Beads Review

7 out of 10
Price:
£35.00
Once all of the beads were in I switched the vibrations on, ooooh it felt really good, I love powerful vibrations so I turned it up to speed 3. The vibrations reached all those sensitive nerve endings, which felt delightful. I found it difficult to move the beads due to the length of them, leaving it stationary and with a little clitoral stimulation I had a very intense orgasm.

Tracey Cox Supersex Twin Silicone Vibrating Love Ring Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£24.99
We purchased the Tracey Cox Supersex Twin Silicone Vibrating Love Ring For Couples from Lovehoney following a game of Monogamy as one of the cards suggested the purchase of a cock ring to heighten our sexual pleasures - so we did!

System JO H2O Raspberry Sorbet Flavoured Lube Review

3 out of 10
Price:
£11.00
Brand:
System JO
Materials:
Water
The System JO H2O Raspberry Sorbet Flavoured Lube is just one of a dozen flavours System JO offers, promising silky smooth texture with a great taste. Flavoured lube is obviously primarily intended for use during oral sex, but I've put the lube through its paces with varying results.

Bondara Silver Nipple Clamps Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£6.99
Brand:
Bondara
Shop:
Bondara
Materials:
Metal
The Bondara Silver Nipple Clamps are my third try with nipple toys.  Didn't have much luck with the last two sets.  The first pair I got didn't have a good amount of pressure on them so the sensation just wasn't there. The second pair had a gold finish to them and the natural oils from my skin made the finish tarnish and blister away looking very unattractive.

Lovehoney Enjoy Water Based Lube Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£6.99
Brand:
Lovehoney
Materials:
Water
I wanted to get a bottle of lube that was affordable and overcomes some of the things I dislike about other more popular brands I’ve tried, so I decided to give the Lovehoney Enjoy Water Based Lube a go after seeing how highly rated it is on the Lovehoney website.

Pjur Back Door Silicone Anal Lube Review

5 out of 10
Price:
£14.99
I enjoyed using the Pjur Back Door Silicone Anal Lube. I personally felt numb, which is odd because there are no antithetic properties; so I personally think that the numbing I experienced was my body reacting to one of the ingredients. Keep in mind that this lube is silicone, so I was limited about what toys I would test with it. I have a hard time putting in my glass plug from Lovehoney, it usually takes me around 10 minutes to insert from start to finish. Using the Pjur Back Door Lube it only took me about 3 minutes.

MEO AlphaMale Water Based Anal Lube Review

3 out of 10
Price:
£11.50
Brand:
MEO
Shop:
MEO.de
Materials:
Water
The lube arrived wrapped in plastic, which is great for those who like the piece of mind knowing that their lube hasn't been tampered with before use. The MEO AlphaMale Water Based Anal Lube is free from parabens, but it does contain glycerin and propylene glycol, so if you have known sensitivities to these ingredients, I'd give this lube a miss. I have encountered sensitivities to these things before, although it doesn't happen with every product, so I knew a patch test would be essential. All seemed to be fine following this, so we went ahead and used it for its designed purpose.
Durex Play Vibrations Cock Ring Review

Durex Play Vibrations Cock Ring Review

7 out of 10
Price:
£4.99
Brand:
Durex
Materials:
Jelly
My wife very much enjoyed it. If being picky, she would prefer a stronger vibration but the Durex Play Vibrations Cock Ring is a single use toy. We feel it's aimed more at those looking to expand their own sexual exploits than as an experienced couple's bedroom addition.
Durex Real Feel Condoms Review

Durex Real Feel Condoms Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£16.99
Brand:
Durex
Materials:
Latex
I had the very lucky pleasure of receiving the Durex Real Feel Condoms to review on behalf of Cara Sutra! I'm not one for condoms usually as I use the usual excuse of it doesn’t feel the same, it’s a passion killer etc but I was pleasantly surprised by these.

Durex Play Feel Lube Review

6 out of 10
Price:
£4.99
Brand:
Durex
Materials:
Water
All in all, the Durex Play Feel Lube is a pretty good lubricant that is suitable for various kinds of play and is gentle to your skin. If you’re looking for a fuss-free lubricant, this might be it!

Aneros Progasm Classic Review

Price:
£39.99
Brand:
Aneros
Shop:
Aneros
Materials:
Plastic
The Aneros Progasm Classic Prostate Massager is not my first anal sex toy. As a bisexual man I have experimented a lot and my female partner loves experimenting anally with me too. I have tried the Aneros Helix before which is a little smaller and for a beginner you might want to start with the Helix.
