Community Reviews

Our Cara Sutra community reviews are adult product reviews which have been written by the Cara Sutra sex blog community as well as other guests. These reviews were previously part of the Pleasure Panel project; this was an outsourced sex toy reviews feature which ran between 2015 and 2019 and was an incredibly popular monthly activity.

Thanks to the Cara Sutra community, the number of adult toy reviews and reviews for other bedroom gear grew enormously during the time the project was active. Sex toy shops and adult product retailers would send me a box of their products they’d like honest reviews for. Then, I would then distribute them to members of the team after monthly 'rounds' where the Panel would volunteer for the item of their choice. Obviously the prospect of 'free sex toys' is always incredibly appealing to people, and in time I was forced to limit the number of new members to those who were Cara Sutra Patrons only, who had pledged more than $5 a month at Patreon towards my expenses and the general running of my blog and the reviews project.

Mid-2019 it was decided that it was time for the Pleasure Panel to close, sadly, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it was taking far too much of my time each month to arrange sourcing new review items, creating the draft community reviews and list of linked items for the team to volunteer for, then chasing up people’s reviews when they were late. Secondly, the amount of reviews which remained late or indeed never arrived at all meant that less adult products were being sent by adult business brands for the team to review, as well as discouraging me from continuing the project in general.

A number of Pleasure Panel members remain as loyal and trustworthy reviewers who submit their reviews of products they’ve bought or been sent from time to time. I hope you enjoy reading all of our community reviews below – there are reviews for pretty much everything! All reviews not written by myself will appear under this category.

Swan Vibes Princess Rabbit Vibrator Review

Swan Vibes Princess Rabbit Vibrator Review

5 out of 10
Price:
£89.99
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Silicone
The Swan Vibes Princess Rabbit Vibrator has two buttons, one for controlling the internal arm and one for controlling the clitoral arm. I love that the two motors are controlled individually. My body really likes strong internal vibration paired with weaker clitoral vibration, which is the opposite of how most rabbit vibes tend to work.

John Thomas Toys Curly Twirly Dildo Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£199.00
Looking for a dildo you can literally screw? John Thomas Toys, purveyors of all kinds of fantasy and monster cocks, has one that might be suitable in the form of the Curly Twirly.

Sinloli Premium Ukulele Sex Machine Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£235.00
Brand:
Sinloli
Shop:
Amazon
Materials:
Metal
I'm a massive fan of the HiSmith Premium fucking machine, and while I think it's worth every penny, £600 is still a lot of money. Sinloli realised that it's beyond most people's budget, so the Sinloli Premium Ukulele Sex Machine is their answer—at a much more palatable less-than-£300. It has the same powerful design, a remote control with built-in programs, and you can even adjust the angle for that perfect penetrative position.

Sinloli Extra Large Sparkly Purple Anal Dildo Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£45.00
Brand:
Sinloli
Shop:
Amazon
Materials:
Silicone
It's silicone, massive, marbled galaxy pink and purple colour, and has sparkly glitter bits in. That's at least four of my boxes on "ultimate dildo design wishlist" ticked right there. But you're probably expecting more of a review than that, so read on!

John Thomas Toys Thingy Bob Multi Cock Head Dildo Review

7 out of 10
Price:
£119.00
What's the best part of a dick? I think we can all agree it's the head. So what could possibly be more satisfying than a dildo with a big dick head on it? That's not a rhetorical question: a dildo with FOUR nice big dick heads on it would obviously be better.

John Thomas Dino Slug XL Silicone Anal Stretcher Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£239.00
In my search for ever more exotic alien and monster cocks to submit to, this week I've found myself on the prehistoric planet of Arrakis. After slipping on a particularly slimy rock, I found myself face to face with this sizeable slug-like entity. Suffice to say, I had no hesitation in dropping my space trousers and allowing it to explore my hole.
Master Series Extreme Steel Chastity Cage Review

Master Series Extreme Steel Chastity Cage Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£199.99
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Metal
My favourite aspect of the design is the locking system. No padlock is required and your sub is locked in via a specially designed locking system likened to a locking wheel nut on your car alloys. So no actual key is required as such, rather a specifically designed tool.
Master Series Asylum Locking Chastity Cage Review

SheVibe
Materials:

I’ll not go into the benefits of caging your man too much but I will say this... expect lots of extra attention... and household chores actually getting done! Yes it's true, putting your man's cock into a cage makes him a better person. He will literally do anything to get a release. Now... on to this chastity device in particular.
Nu Sensuelle Pearl Rechargeable Silicone Vibrator Review

Nu Sensuelle Pearl Rechargeable Silicone Vibrator Review (Pink)

8 out of 10
Price:
£46.00
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Silicone
I was pretty excited to try the Pearl properly, so I made sure I had plenty of time to try each action and function of the toy. It felt lovely when the pearl moved on my clitoris and I soon moved it up quickly to the third level then adding vibration. Now that felt amazing.

Sinloli Sucking and Vibrating Masturbator Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£30.00
Brand:
Sinloli
Shop:
Amazon
Materials:
Plastic, TPR
It's not often you come across a masturbating sleeve that includes powerful suction features for under $50, but that's precisely what Sinloli has brought us. So is this merely a gimmick, or is the Sinloli sucking and vibrating masturbator the gadget to take your wank to the next level?

John Thomas XTRO Fusion Colour Dildo Review

9 out of 10
XTRO was trying to communicate his dark hunger for me. A series of guttural clicks were followed by a deep angry growl, as he grew impatient for me to understand, let alone reciprocate his need. I tried to scrabble away, but couldn't help myself glancing back to find that wasn't the only thing that was growing. Luminous green drool dripped down his gaping maw, landing on his now huge cock. I froze, but at least I could be confident he didn't want to devour me for dinner.

John Thomas Umbungo’s Finger Anal Probe Review

8 out of 10
Who is Umbungo, and why is his finger so unreasonably long? Your guess is as good as mine. But what I can tell you is that his finger feels utterly lovely going up my bum.

John Thomas Woody Purple Silicone Dildo Review

8 out of 10
The John Thomas Toys Woody is aimed at people who, while watching Lord of the Rings, saw the enormous Ents emerge from the forest, and thought to themselves "I wonder what an Ent's cock looks like? I'd love to fuck one and find out".

KIIROO Keon Interactive Penis Stroker Review (& FeelStar Rae Lil Black Sleeve)

8 out of 10

Brand:
KIIROO
Shop:
KIIROO
Materials:
Plastic, TPE
KIIROO are masters of interactive sex toys, so when they make their own automatic interactive penis stroker, your dick should definitely be paying attention. Paired with a selection of luscious FeelStars stroker sleeves, the KIIROO Keon is about as close to a realistic automated sexual experience you can get.

Seven Creations H2O Waterproof Patriot Penis Vibrator Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£13.95
We were sent the Seven Creations H2O Waterproof Patriot Penis Vibrator to review for Cara Sutra's sex blog. Initially, we weren't sure if we wanted to review it, as it would not go with our collection which is all black and purple, but we decided to give it a go.
Boy Butter Original Oil Based Personal Lubricant Review

Boy Butter Original Oil Based Personal Lubricant Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£7.95
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Oil
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.

Nu Sensuelle 10 Function Remote Control Cock Ring Review

5 out of 10
Price:
£30.00
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Silicone
The Nu Sensuelle 10 Function Remote Control Cock Ring is a surprisingly natty piece of kit. Supplied with batteries already fitted, and even some spare for when you inevitably run them down, the cock ring features 10 functions and a smooth velvet feel along with the added benefits of it being waterproof, black coloured and phthalates free (beware the remote is NOT waterproof).

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.
