Playing with bit gags is always a pleasure for me. It’s a great gag to use during pony play or regular scenes. The bit gag by Spartacus is well designed and works perfectly for my uses. The gag portion is made out of silicone which is a nice change from rubber that I’ve experienced before. The joys of using silicone is you don’t get that horrible taste when you bit into it and the smell is minimal. The gag is 5″ in length but only 3″ of that is usable.  The gag is attached to two nickel rings, my only complaint about them is they aren’t sealed and have a small gap in them. If they were a bit more flexible, you would be able to remove the gag to clean it but unfortunately it’s not. Leather (unlined) straps attach to the rings and the gag is locked is closed with a belt style closure. There are 9 holes with a bit of room at the end if you need to make more.

The silcone bit gag allows plenty of breathing room and my one friend who has jaw issues with other gag, can use this one without any trouble. It helps keep the screaming and bratty words at a minimal, the muffles and moaning can still be heard. If you are new to gags or simply like more room, keep it a bit looser until you are ready. Also, with playing with gags, you should come up with a visual safeword like holding something like keys or even humming something (if you are in an environment to hear)

My favourite ways to clean the gag is to use a 10% bleach solution or boil the silicone piece in a pot while holding the rest of the gag.

I really enjoyed playing with the bit gag. PG has one and we mostly use it when we do pony play but it’s a stable in our collection and by simply putting it on, my body relaxes and I’m ready to be a good pony.

I wanted to really try one of these paddles since I laid my eyes on it. I envisioned being able to have slut slapped all over my body.

PG was happy to test it out on me and thought, “Body writing is hot; hitting bodies is hot. What could be hotter than body writing by body hitting? Gotta confess I was a bit sceptical about whether this slapper would work – as far as stencilling the word “SLUT” on, that is. I never doubted it would work as a slapper. Obviously, for maximum contrast, and to avoid “overprinting,” we didn’t want to do a warm-up, or to hit repeatedly. So I wound up and whacked Alpine hard, twice – once on each cheek. You can check out the result in the photo. Several distinct letters, though not the whole word. Clearly, the letter omission was operator error. The inversion was a result of the slapper being made for right-handed folks; I hit hardest with my south paw. I wonder if Ned Flander’s Leftorium would have what I need? Meanwhile, I’ll work on getting the missing letters in by whacking right. It’s a tough job, but….”

As PG said, unfortunately we couldn’t get it to work the way we wanted however it was still fun trying.  The leather paddle is 32 cm in length. The red colour below the leather is actually a sheet of paper but that’s expectable for only $25.18.  After using it multiple times, the paddle is showing. The leather around the S is a bit worn but it’s still holding well.  The leather is of decent quality and you can use either side of the paddle, depending on your results.

The paddle is made by Sportsheets. It’s two pieces of leather that are stitched together with a solid handle that appears to be kept firm with metal.  Due to the two pieces of leather, it makes a nice sound as one piece of leather hits the leather while the other one hits your skin. The Slut Impression Paddle has a bit of a sting to it and can make most bottoms red. Thank you Sextoy.com!

**Note: This toy was provided free of charge. It has no affects on my review as I write it on if I bought it myself and doens’t reflect whether a products gets a glowing or negative review**

Nipple play and nipple torture is one of my favourite BDSM activities. I love the feeling of teeth biting down on them, the flicker of a tongue, lips sucking, clamps pressing on them and generally anything that involves them. Adjustable Clamps

As such as I love clover clamps, you can’t wear them for very long. The adjustable press nipple clamps provides a range of sensations. Since it’s adjustable and provides a broad base, you can play with a range of sensations. At the lightest strength it barely hangs on and provides a nice grasp. After tightening the screw, it provides a firm pinch. You can increase the sensation by pulling on them if you aren’t getting the reaction that you would like.

They are easy to use and are made by Spartacus. I’ve never had any trouble with products by them and my other ones are still going strong.  The only trouble that I had was the screw to adjust it was getting stuck but after adjusting them multiple times, they work like a charm.

To test them out, we used them during scenes and while having sex. The chain is sturdy and thick which makes pulling them easy. We adjusted them to the tightest setting while he pulled. The pulling sensation on them can easily put me over the edge and allow a stronger orgasm when I’m close.

We were going to test them out for a fancy dinner but due to having to re-schedule for over a month, we couldn’t. I didn’t want to wait any longer to post this review so I tested the endurance part on my own.

I spend over 3 hours wearing them (not all the way but enough to be snug). My nipples were sensitive but it wasn’t unbearable. I could easily wear them for a night out in the city for a fun little scenario. Image being at dinner and a gentle tug could easily put you back into the proper headspace. I’m looking forward to doing this in the future.

Before the package even arrived, I quickly realized that this was the first dildo that I had with balls on. I usually stick to ones without but trying new things is always fun and important. When I first got Hank, I was a bit surprised about how small the balls were compared to the shaft. They seemed unproportional. That must of been influenced from my personal experience but I am wondering, does anyone else think that?Hank

The Tantus Hank Dildo is made out of a matte feeling silicone. It has a 6 1/4 ” insertable length which provides a good length for me. It’s not big enough that I need a warm up. I was bent over, doggie-style, the first time I tried it. I was getting fucked with it hard and it felt great in me. Before I knew it, I was orgasming.

I’ve enjoyed using it on myself and the balls come in handy as a handle.  I tried to get PG let me try it on him but he won’t let me however he did help me tested it and always, when it comes to dildos,  he enjoys it when I get off. It can be used in a harness as well but I didn’t have any available play partners to try it out with.

I enjoyed the realistic aspects of the dildo. The veins, uneven texture, indent where the urethra would be. It does pick up lint and hair fairly easily but those can be removed by rinsing it off and drying with a lint free towel.

As always don’t use silicone lube on Hank and to disinfect wipe with a 10% bleach solution, top shelf of a dishwasher (no soap) or boil. The Hank is a win and is a welcomed addition to my toy collection. In the vast selection of realistic dildos, the Hank steps up.

Thank you Vibrator.com, check out their sex toys here .

The Josephine arrived and I couldn’t of been happier. It’s a unique paddle that provides a nice change to your typical impact items. Plus, it’s hand crafted by a Canadian company. Who doesn’t love supporting small independent kinksters.

Josephine“When you first pull this wicker wonder out of the package, you might think they’ve sent you a toy: at under a foot in length, it looks like a scaled-down version of a real carpet beater. Which it is,” PG says. The Josephine designs remains me of a Celtic design. It’s mostly black with a metallic burgundy strand that makes it stand out. It’s made out of leather with a braided handle, according to the description on Trinity Romance it’s a lovely French Grapevine braid that provides a nice grip and really stands out. Josephine HandleIt’s really tough and firm and provides the perfect handle to inflict your will.

As beautiful as the Josephine is, the real test is how it performs. PG thinks, “It wallops way above its weight. The open woven construction lets the wind of its passage whistle through, so no buffering cushion of air forms between it and any flesh it’s directed at. We whacked Alpine’s notoriously hard-to-mark bottom with it, and began raising delicious red marks from the first blows. An excellent toy that delivers a wide, stinging blow, without the need to carry around a tell-tale tennis racket case.” From a bottoms point of view, I loved it. You can use it as a light weight paddle with minimal force or put some weight in it and make your partner squeal. It has a bit of a sting but it’s mostly provides the warm thuddy feeling that a variety of bottoms, submissives etc. love. I tried to test it out on PG however I could only get a couple of light smacks before he would wrestle it away from me.

I’ve really enjoyed trying out the Josephine. The design makes it a unique addition to my collection. PG, my ass and others above.

Trinity Romance Shop was kind enough to provide me with Josephine. They are a local (Squamish, British Columbia) shop who are health conscious, sex-friendly and cares about the toys that you play with. They are a small friendly operator. I’m looking forward to purchasing my own toys from them. As a bonus they offer free shipping for orders over $75.00 and all their prices are in Canadian. Help support a friendly small sex toy shop who is making a positive influence in their local community and beyond.

What makes gags sexy is the way they deny or impede the bottom’s ability to speak – an important part of the objectification that’s so wrong, and therefore so hot. Ring gags up the ante by making it impossible for the bottom to refuse access to their mouth by probing fingers, dils, or cocks – even more objectifying and therefore hotter still. The arrival of this toy was timely, as Alpine and I have been expanding the D/s aspect of our relationship. After some suitable preliminaries to get us both in the headspace, we applied the Ring Gag. It slips easily into a receptive mouth and attaches at the back of the head with a simple  metal loop system – something I like both because it allows infinite adjustment (unlike the incremental notches of a belt buckle style closure) and because it can be  released easily if needed. Once it was in place, I got a solid hank of Alpine’s hair in my hand, and forced myself into her mouth. With her hair as a handle, and her mouth prevented from closing, it was easy to thrust deep enough to make her gag (we’re both sick and twisted, and like this sort of thing. It would be perfectly possible to do shallow, non-gag inducing thrusts if you wanted. But where’s the fun in that?) Both the sensations and the visuals were pretty sweet. The Ring Gag comes in different sizes to accommodate different cocks – we’d recommend going a bit big on the ring size to avoid bruising or chafing a biological cock (not an issue if you’re using a strap-on). If the Top in your partnership isn’t into the forced BJ thing, the Ring Gag can still provide the hot visuals of a helplessly drooling and inarticulate bottom. All in all, fun for any gender combination of Top and bottom.

PG did a great job in describing the Ring Gag. We love it and it is a welcomed addition to our toy collection. Being able to have a cock in my mouth while being gag is always something I wanted. Typically, being gagged and sucking cock (fingers, toys etc) was impossible. I found the size works well for me however everyone is different. I found this tip online by Mouse Army. “I guess my advice is that if when you get x-rays at the dentist, they feel a little uncomfortable, get the small size!`` For me, the larger size works better but it may not for you. If you would like to be able to accomodate a parter or toy, simply measure the diameter and give a bit extra to be safe.  Add a 2 cm on each side (one on each side) due to the strap. The Mouth Gag is a nickel-plated steel ring that is covered in leather. It is easily cared for with using a damp cloth and leather condition if desired.

The thing I love about this gag is how helpless it makes me and the drool that comes out from my mouth. PG and I find these things both extremely sexy and with his cock in my mouth, I am utterly helpless to react. A great gag to enhance your play.

The Ring Gag was supplied by Extreme Restraints

Sextoy.com was nice enough to send me the Ultimate Personal Shaver Kit. When I was waiting for the package to arrive, I was excited about receiving it. I use to get bikini waxes monthly but I wasn’t happy waiting for the time in between and after traveling often I didn’t trust anyone besides my regular waxer. I switched to shaving and after some ups and down, I’ve learned the tips and tricks to a smooth shave. The only thing I don’t like is the time and how often you have to do a proper shave.

Ultimate Personal ShaverThe shaver kit comes with a Trimming Shaver, Finishing Shaver, Brush for Talc, Brush for shaver, Talc and stencils. Unfortunately the Ultimate Personal Shaver Kit didn’t meet my  expectations. I followed the directions twice and tried other alternations with it but both times left disappointed.

The trimming shaver worked as expected, I grew out my hair as an experiment and it did a fairly good job at trimming down the extra hair in preparation for the finishing shaver. As the directions stated, the trimmer is suppose to do the majority of the job and you should use the trimmer to cut your hair to stubble.  The next step was to use the trimmer for a smooth surface. After applying more talc, I pulled my skin tight and rotated it in a circle direction as directed. The result was the surface of my skin was smoother but not as smooth as I get from shaving. If you would like the full directions, click here.

I tried using it a couple of different times and the results didn’t get much better. I was left with short stubble and not a smooth desired surface. The kit comes packaged in a black box with the promotion above it. It makes for easy storage and keeping everything nice and neat. Besides battery, the kit comes with everything you need to try the shaver kit on your own. Cleaning was easy and the instructions are simple to follow.

Results may vary as with any hair removal treatment. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me but I’ve given the the trimmer to a friend who trims and I’ll keep the stencils for myself.

Review: Leo

Reviews Tagged with:
Oct 112009

The Leo by Vixen Creations is a silicone dildo that delivers. The Leo has a slight curve to it, thick head, semi-realistic design and  a suction base at the end. It comes in 4 different colours, including a sparkle silver colour. LeoOnce I receive the Leo, my first mission was to test it out in the bathroom. I stuck it to the edge of the tub and squatted over it. The Leo held up with my movements and provided the flexibility needed.  The curve of the dildo allowed it to stimulate my G-spot. Unfortunately my legs gave out before I could orgasms. As well, almost slipping a couple of times made me realize that it may be time to bring it to the bed.  I did try using the Leo on other surface such as wood and plastic but the suction cup came loose after moving around on it.

The Leo is harness compatible. The black looked great with my La Femme Harness and if you are into colour co-ordinating, you can choose from 4 different ones. I liked the fact that the Leo was longer then other dildos that I have. Even with the inches off from the harness, there was plenty of room left over to please me.

I love the flexibility and smoothness of the Leo. Even with the flexibility, the Leo stands strong and in place. The Leo is 7 1/8″ in length and 1 1/2″ in width.  He is made out of quality silicone which is  hypoallergenic and phthalate-free. Easy to clean (as all silicone is) with a 10% bleach solution, dishwasher (top shelf, no soap) or boiling him. If sanitizing him isn’t important, he can be cleaned with soap and water or a toy cleaner.

The Leo makes a great all-around dildo, he’s anal safe but I wouldn’t recommend him for beginners. Just be careful with not using silicone lube and stay with the water-based ones. As with most silicone toys (especially dark ones) it attracts lint but comes off easily. A small price to pay for the benefits of silicone.

Thank you Babeland for sending me the Leo, a classic that belongs in my collection. If you want something a bit smaller, check out the Mistress or other fun sex toys.

Over the past couple of months, the O2 Revolution has become one of my favourite dildos. If it only had the power of the Hitachi, then it would in me constantly.

The reason that made me fall for the Revolution is the texture of the silicone.  The outer surface is an almost skin like texture. It’s soft and squishy on the surface. Inside is a stiff core that makes its firm and allows it to keep its shape. It comes with a protruding head and veins in the shaft. The Revolution isn’t small, it’s 7″ in length and the diameter at the head is 2″ and about 1.75″ moving down.

O2 RevolutionUsing the Revolution, for me is a bit difficult on the first couple of thrust. Water-based lube and simply allowing my body to embrace the size works wonders. With the texture and how easy it was to thrust on it, I was in lust. In addition, the flared base makes a perfect handle and it’s harness compatible. Unfortunately, my main harness and the only one I haven’t given to eager friends has metal rings on it and wouldn’t give the stretch needed to accommodate it. When I feel like adding vibration to it, I simply use the Hitachi on the base of it to transmit the vibrations inside of me.

Compared to other dildo’s, it is heftier. It is manageable but if you do have limitations with your hands, it may be something to consider or get someone to use it on you. The O2 Revolution is easy to care for and clean. You can use soap and water, toy cleaner or to sanitize it a 10% bleach solution, boiling it or on the top shelf on the dishwasher. It does pick up lint easily but its easy to remove.

I’ve enjoyed the fullness of the toy and partners love seeing me filled up and the response that the Revolution can give.

Finding restraints that are both secure and sustainable to wear can be a challenge. Police-type metal hand and leg cuffs lock solidly, but can bruise, particularly if the subject struggles or is on their back with their hands behind them. Leather cuffs offer a wide, pressure-dispersing hold, but most attach belt-buckle style and can be undone by a bratty bottom. These leather cuffs offer the best of both worlds: the comfort of wide bands, together with the option to lock them by securing your own padlocks through the metal staples (the cuffs have a series of slots, so that the leather itself functions as a hasp). If you don’t have or want to use padlocks, you can slip the integral leather strips through the staples to secure the cuffs.

For our play, we improvised by locking metal handcuffs and leg cuffs through the staples. It worked, but padlocks and chains would let you lock the padlocks into whichever links of the chains you wanted to control the bottom’s range of motion more precisely. They would also be lower profile and more comfortable for hands-behind-the-back-lying-on-the-back positions. (Pro suggestion: get a set of four or more padlocks that are keyed alike; that way you won’t be fumbling to match locks and keys in an emergency or when playtime’s over.)

For our review, we started with Alpine face down in a classic hog-tie position. Purely in the interests of proper product testing, I had to ensure she had a sincere incentive to struggle, so I applied a violet wand to her. On her butt, this resulted in only giggles. On her inner thighs, it made for determined, if unavailing, escape attempts.

After a good (for me), long session of this, I sat Alpine in a metal-framed tall chair, and locked her wrists by her sides and her ankles to a lower rung. I applied several dozen clothespins to her breasts and thighs, let them sit for some time, then twisted off each one in a way calculated to induce maximum sensation. In between removals, I scratched her up with a fid and ran a wartenberg wheel around her. So with the best submissive intentions, she was still forced to thrash. The cuffs held firm.

These cuffs are a stiffer leather, and are not lined with either a softer inner leather or faux fur, so they did chafe a bit over the course of our play. In fairness, we should note that this was a multi-hour session that involved a lot of struggling and that the chafing wasn’t raw or red, and was far less severe than metal cuffs or hemp rope would have caused. We liked the numerous slots for the staples, which let us size the cuffs precisely for a secure fit that didn’t impede blood circulation. Overall, we give them two thumbs (or whatever appendage) up. “

PG words describes the Kinklab leather wrist cuffs and the Kinklab leather ankle cuffs perfectly. As he mentioned they don’t have the soft lining inside but for under $30 each, they are a great buy for those just getting into BDSM or even for those more experienced. They have adjustable sizes which makes it suitable for people of all wrist and ankle sizes.
