Toni is made from a fairly firm silicone with a slightly matte finish. The quality is extremely high with no visible mould marks. The shape of the dildo is somewhat curved upwards, with a couple of very subtle bumps (as you can see from our diagram there is only a difference of 1cm in circumference between the largest and narrowest points).

This dildo is one of the most versatile we own and therefore gets a lot of use. For me I find the width just right if I want some quick penetration without any warm up. Alternatively, this is often what I start off with if I am in the mood for some serious stretching. I have also found one of my favourite uses of this dildo is to strap it to a chair, facing towards my back, and bounce up and down on it. The advantage of this position for me is that it hits my prostate. I do enjoy prostate stimulation, but personally don't get off on it in the way some guys seem to. But it is worth bearing in mind if that is something that really appeals to you (though, as they say, everybody's anatomy is a bit different down there!).
The other way I enjoy anal stimulation is by being pegged by Lucy. I would say this toy is not really good for that in most positions as it is a bit short, and does have a tendency to slide out if the thrusting gets too vigorous (which is prone to happen...).
Aesthetics vary from person to person, but this toy is exactly the right level of "phallic" for me. It obviously looks nothing like a real cock, you are thinking, but there is something about the size and shape that I find particularly reminiscent of a cock. I don't often think of dildos this way, but this one does raise that connection in me.
We bought them as a replacement to our original Lovehoney Beginners Anal Beads as we began to lust after silicone replacements for all our existing toys. For those of you who aren't yet convinced on this front, silcone is great because it's body-safe, it's soft, it's non-porous and it's easy to clean - even sterilise in most cases (by boiling for a few minutes in water). There are lots of different types of silicone, some are very soft and flexible, whilst others are more firm. Unfortunately I think that the silicone that has been used to make these beads is too soft and flexible. Maybe you think soft and flexible are good qualities for something you're going to be sticking up your bum? Maybe so for a dildo, but one of the most pleasurable things to do with anal beads is to pull them out just as you're climaxing. I find that as I get closer to orgasm all my muscles tense up, at this point I am squeezing very tight around the beads in my ass. As the material is so stretchy, when I try to pull them out the connecting part between the beads just stretches, the beads are stuck in there, held securely by my tight little asshole. I never had this issue with the previous beads, so I am really disappointed that this is the case with these. I would love to find some beads made of a firmer silicone, or perhaps with a metal/firm plastic core to them in order to avoid this problem but still allow me to enjoy the benefits of silicone.
In ancient greek mythology Tantalus was sentenced to punishment in the deepest level of hell. There, he was condemned to stand in a pool of water, underneath a fruit tree. As he would reach down to attempt to quench his thirst the water receded from his grasp, whilst the branches of the tree would arch away whenever he tried to sate his hunger with a piece of fruit. It is from this unfortunate that we get the word tantalising, only too apt to describe the look of the tantus silk (do you see what I did there?).
The Rampant Rabbit Thruster has now been replaced with Rampant Rabbit The Thrusting One, but looking at it it appears to be exactly the same only re-branded and in a different colour. You can also get one which I can only assume is from the same manufacturer but with different branding from Lovehoney, the Deluxe Ultra Thrusting Waterproof Rabbit Vibrator.
As for the Cosmos in particular, it is a very beautiful object which has a pleasing shape and design. The coloured swirl that runs through the centre is rather attractive. It comes in a little velvet drawstring bag which is perfect for storing it in and makes sure it doesn't get chipped up against your other glass toys.
Angela was our first ever dildo from Babes n Horny. Babes n Horny, for those who don't know, are a UK based manufacturer of silicone sex toys. Pretty much everything is made to order, with an absolutely huge range of over 50 models, in over 40 different colours and patterns. These range from roughly the size of a finger to the size of a fist. We ordered Angela in the 'Babes Blue' from the Babes Value Range - meaning we got a top class dildo for a much lower price. As BnH put it, "this is still a handmade dildo, but by utilizing the principle of the model T-Ford (any colour as long as it's BLUE) and streamlining the means of production with basic moulds, we can offer lower prices and a faster service".
