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.

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.

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

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.

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
Price:
£14.99
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.

Price:
£24.99
Materials:
Plastic, Vinyl
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
Price:
£15.99
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.

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.

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.

Seven til Midnight Bodystocking Review

7 out of 10
Price:
£10.00
Materials:
Lace
Everyone knows that I love lingerie, in particular, bodystockings. The reason that I love them so much is that they are ultra-flattering, especially for someone like me who has smaller breasts and a larger bottom. Because of my pear shape figure, ‘one size lingerie’ usually fits easily on my bottom half, and gapes horribly at the top, which isn’t very flattering at all.

I love sexy lingerie and bodystockings, thanks Cara for sending me the Seven til Midnight Floral Seamless Cami Bodystocking to review!  I have other Seven till Midnight lingerie which is gorgeous and fantastic quality, so I jumped at the chance to review this piece.
