Review: Uberrime Ripley

Ripley is the gorgeous Earth-toned alien dildo created by Uberrime. It has an amazing spine-like texture on the underside of the shaft as well as some veiny texture by the base. For texture-lovers and those who enjoy fantasy dildos that double as art pieces, I recommend you give Ripley a try.

A Dildo by Any Other Name

Something I’ve noticed a lot during my years as a sex toy reviewer is that many companies use human names for their sex toys. It’s always irked me just a little bit, but for a while I couldn’t quite put my finger on why. However, I think it’s time we have a discussion about this practice and how we can improve people’s sex-toy-buying experiences by avoiding it entirely.

Review: SXOhh Sixty

SXOhh is a new brand made in partnership with Nu Sensuelle. So far, SXOhh’s only product is a vibrator model called “Sixty,” and normally, I’m skeptical of new brands with only a single product on the market but in this case, I’m incredibly thankful that I gave them a try.

Justin is a rainbow silicone dildo by Addiction that has the amazing “squish” factor of a dual-density toy at an affordable price. This body-safe option is not only great for those looking to display some LGBT pride, but anyone who loves a nice thick, plush toy.

Review: Fun Factory Laya 2

Even though the Laya 2 is meant to be used while lying on one’s back, the best pleasure I got from it was from riding it. It has some decent power, but the execution of this toy being used as a “lay on” vibrator just wasn’t realistic for me so I encourage folks to use this toy differently than expected.

Here are ten concepts from Harry Potter that could apply to the sex lives of witches and wizards alike.
