Sex toys are as varied and complicated as sex itself, encompassing a range of kinks, sexualities, and tastes. They may be intimate or silly, painful or pleasurable, tasteful or downright tacky, limited only by the desire of the user. A dildo may become an active part of a butch persona, a collar the favored garb of a beloved slave, a massage oil the soothing key that unlocks a wild encounter.
Sadly, it is easier to find a balanced review of a toaster, a device whose sole purpose is to heat bread, than it is to locate a fair appraisal of a vibrator designed to stimulate some of the most sensitive nerve endings in the human body. Reviews based on reliable standards such as durability, functionality, and price, are largely absent, overlooked by writers biased by their professional affiliations and personal tastes.
We're here to change all that. The reviewers at sexherald.com want to help you navigate the nearly boundless morass of toys to help you select the toy that will work best for whatever you have in mind. We'll do this by individually testing each item and evaluating it based on everything from originality to cost...and we're not afraid to say that something is downright lousy. We'd rather give mediocre marks to mediocre products than rate everything the same, so that you know that our top-marked products are really spectacular. Our aim is to give you an honest assessment of everything we try so that when you buy a toy, you will be delighted.
Towards that end, we encourage you to write to us with suggestions for potential toys. If you're in the market for something you don't see here, tell us and we'll see what we can do to find it, rate it, and post it. Until then, happy playing! |
Glass Finger Sleeve
Who doesn’t love a glass toy? I was eager to check out the latest addition to the Adam & Eve glass toy collection as this is the first glass finger sleeve that I’ve had. For starters, this is real glass, no plastic here. The finger sleeve comes in a small box and inside the box is a velvet-carrying pouch where you will find the finger sleeve. Once you take the finger sleeve out you will notice that it does weigh a bit, as glass tends to be heavy so it will be shatterproof. Made of clear glass, the finger sleeve is 3 inches in length and 1 inch in width. There are seven red raised glass nubs on one side, five, which are large, and two that are smaller. At the top of the finger sleeve is a rounded additional glass nub. Read Entire Article
Wildfire Slimline G 8X Dual Pleasure Passionate Pear
It’s not too often that I find more flaws than things to love about a waterproof vibrating dual action sex toy. Unfortunately, this is the case with the Slimline G 8x Dual Pleaser. However, that does not mean the toy is a total flop—there are redeeming qualities! Waterproof toys always have a place in my heart and bathroom. I love them as they are versatile and can be used in so many different environments. This is one of my favorite features of the toy. The phthalate and latex free toy requires 3 AAA batteries (not included). The entire toy is a little over 8 inches in length and an inch and a half in width. The passionate pear color is a soft lime green that is somewhat iridescent as you can see the beads and vibrating item in the longer portion of the toy. The rotating silver beads with a curved end and additional curved tip add to the allure of the toy. Read Entire Article
Grrl Toyz Get Lucky Grrl Kit
Back in my prime, I would have been all about the grrl toyz Get Lucky grrl Kit, but now, as a happy member of the ball-and-chain gang, a kit destined for one-night stands is no longer on my wish list. But thankfully, I still have my distant memories to call on - and roommates (straight gal and gay guy, soo New York!) both of whom are single and more than willing to mingle. If not, have sex with strangers. The packaging of the Get Lucky grrl (or boyyz?) Kit is a little cheap but it's what's on the inside that counts, right? And for a mere $9.99, what is on the inside gets you enough bang for your 10 dolla bill, and, hopefully, for your whole night. The kit comes in a clear case that you can use to tote cosmetics after it's been emptied of its sexy goodies. The packaging wins cute points, sprinkled with clever safe sex sayings, making the whole thing kind of looks like the poor woman's version of the inside of Samantha Jones' clutch. Read Entire Article
