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.

NS Novelties Crystal Premium Glass Eggs Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£19.99
Materials:
Glass
I was delighted to receive the NS Novelties Crystal Premium Glass Eggs to review. I adore glass toys but had never tried glass kegel eggs before. I have had a serious problem with your standard kegel exercisers, getting them to 'fit' is a nightmare but I think it was more to do with the shape so was hoping I'd have more luck with these egg shaped ones.
Leg Avenue Red Plus Size Sheer Stockings Review

Leg Avenue Red Plus Size Sheer Stockings Review

5 out of 10
Price:
£11.00
I really enjoy dressing up and being in sexy underwear. I have quite the nylons collection, so being given the chance to review the Leg Avenue Red Plus Size Sheer Stockings made me jump for joy.

John Thomas Toys Parasite Platinum Silicone Dildo Review

8 out of 10
The Parasite is, without doubt, the oddest looking dildo I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of fantasy dildos. But it's that uniqueness that draws me to it. It doesn't look even remotely penis-shaped, and I suspect you could hide it in plain sight on a hallway shelf alongside other movie props and quirky memorabilia. It's pretty hideous, actually, but this is exactly why I was delighted at the thought of getting penetrated by it.

John Thomas Toys Beastli Platinum Silicone Dildo Review

9 out of 10
Beastli is a gentle demon, really, but his member is so full of devilishly delightful textures that you couldn't possibly say no to such a handsome beast. You'll coax him out of the forest, scream in delight as his demonic head probes your inner depths, and suddenly find yourself taking a detour to those parts of the woods a little more often.

For those looking to spice things up in the bedroom, the Sportsheets Bondage Door Jam Cuffs promise to turn any door frame into an instant BDSM dungeon.

Seven Creations Black Silicone Classic Vibe Review

We're so happy to be reviewing the TENGA Egg Misty, one of the many variations of the TENGA one-use egg masturbators available.

3 out of 10
Price:
£9.99
Brand:
ID Glide
Materials:
Water
I grabbed the chance to try this ID Glide Pleasure Tingling Sensation Lube as I haven't tried this brand before. I am not a stranger to tingle lubes, in fact I have a large variation of them from light sensation to ones that would burn the bits off you.

9 out of 10
Price:
£40.00
Materials:
TPE
Over the last few years I’ve written hundreds of Fleshlight product descriptions for various different sex toy companies, but I’ve never actually seen Fleshlights 'in the flesh', so to speak. That was, until I was contacted by a lovely online sex toy shop who asked if I’d like to try the Fleshlight Sex in a Can Lady Lager Penis Masturbator.

Brand:

Materials:

This LELO LUNA Smart Bead was sent to me from the manufacturers, LELO in return for an honest and unbiased review of the product.

I was sent the LELO ORA 2, an oral sex simulating sex toy by LELO, in return for my honest and unbiased review. After being slightly disappointed by the lacklustre LELO ORA (as Cara also was -read her original LELO ORA review), I had high hopes for the new and improved ORA 2.

BS Atelier Rainbow Drops Silicone Dildo Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£70.00
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:

As a past enthusiastic attendee of Manchester Pride, I decided to embrace my love of diversity and acceptance by reviewing a Pride-themed dildo from an online sex shop.

HiSmith Premium App-Controlled Sex Machine Review

10 out of 10
The HiSmith Premium App-Controlled Sex Machine is quite simply the best thrusting fucking machine you can buy. It'll fuck you in ways you never dreamed of, at speeds beyond those possible by any mere mortal, plus it features industry-leading Bluetooth app and web control.

The Handy Smart WiFi Connected Penis Masturbator Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£175.00
Brand:
The Handy
Materials:
Plastic, TPR
If you can afford it, the Handy is the best masturbator you'll find. It shines when combined with a VR headset, but it's a powerful machine that any dick will love, even without the video sync features. The modular strap design means that you can easily swap out for something else if the included sleeve doesn't fit you. Or if you're smaller than average, you can tighten it up.
