Review: Sh! Women's Emporium Cupid 3 Dildo

She Says:

The Cupid 3 dildo really is an object of beauty. I am always being told off for being overly twee, and in that respect this super-cute dildo certainly reflects my personality. I love the Sh! Women's heart shaped base; this combined with the little pink, decorative, heart-shaped motif in the corner is enough to send me cooing into overload. I guess the design is actually very kitsch, for me it takes me back to my childhood and conjures up images of My Little Pony and The Carebears; a trait that you may consider incompatible with an adult product; but I personally think it's nice to have something with a cute and retro design like this for a change.

The Cupid 3 is made from a super-soft, extremely flexible glossy silicone. This makes it perfect for both anal and vaginal use, and means that you can thrust with all your might and not do any damage (well I guess it depends how much your might amounts to, but certainly not much damage!). I have used this dildo for both these purposes and found it extremely comfortable. It may be very flexible but it is still firm enough to thrust with. And of course, as it is silicone it can be sterilised by boiling for a few minutes in water, making it perfectly safe to enjoy for both uses.

The flared base is not only cute, but practical too. It makes a great handle for you to grasp onto whilst masturbating or using this on a partner, whilst also making sure it wont disappear up your rectum during anal play, and suitable for use in a harness. We have been using it with the excellent Sh! Women's Emporium Harness, the combination looks stunning together and we would thouroughly recommend purchasing both items if you want to achieve this beautiful, pure, bridal look. It would however also fit in any harness with a suitably sized o-ring (1.75" roughly). 

Cupid 3 is reasonably narrow with a tapered head and a 6 inch shaft. The shaft has a slight curve to it and is composed of three subtle bumps which actually feel far less subtle when in use. By using just the first two segments vaginally, this dildo hits my g-spot and gives good stimulation, however it does lack a bit of firmness that would make it a great g-spot toy. I don't see this as a negative though, as you're never going to get a dildo that does everything. As it's not too long I'm able to take its full length both vaginally and anally, and the soft silicone means that it doesn't hurt if it prods against my cervix. The size, shape and softness of the dildo, combined with the large and slightly grippy base means that this has also become a firm favourite of ours to use for (harness-free) double penetration (using this in my ass whilst Alex is fucking me doggy-style). The base sits fairly securely against Alex's pubis, meaning that when he thrusts in and out of me so does the dildo - and let me tell you, that is a totally sensational experience!

In conclusion the Cupid 3 is an absolutely brilliant, top-quality adult product. Its well-proportioned size and unintimidating design would make it perfect as a beginner's dildo, but it also has properties that make it stand out from the crowd and worth purchasing for us sex toy junkies. This is a toy that is going to be used time and time again in our house and I can highly recommend it.

Thank you very much to Sh! Womens Emporium for sending us this dildo to review. Check out their site to find out what other quality toys they have on offer, including more of their silicone dildos. And do make sure you check out the sexy complementary Sh! Women's Corset Back Harness.

He Says:

This dildo was part of a very generous wedding present from Sh!, selected specifically to go with Lucy's wedding dress. It is actually the first Sh! branded dildo we have tried, and, I can tell you, it wont be our last.

The Cupid 3 is made of 100% silicone of a particularly pleasurable variety. It is very soft, squidgy and bendy, but dense and holds its shape well. The surface is glossy and sleek, yet grippy and almost rubbery too. I can't really describe it any further, hopefully our pictures are of some use also.

One entertaining feature of this dildo is the cardioid (a.k.a. heart-shaped, I just love that word though) base. This is both distinctive and practical, providing a secure base for harness use. When in manual (literally "by hand", from the Greek manos as this post seems to have turned into a etymology lesson) use, the base makes it slightly awkward to get a good grip, but by no means impossible.

The shape and size of this dildo are well thought out. There are a couple of subtle bumps, with a slight increase in diameter from tip to base, but nothing that interferes with vigourous thrusting. There is also a pleasant upwards curve (which sags a little bit due to the softness of the silicone). The combination of the size and the softness, with the non-phallic and non-threatening design, make it in my view a perfect beginner's dildo, both for vaginal play (though maybe something firmer and more curved would be worthwhile if you want strong g-spot stimulation) and for anal play.

However, I am by no means an anal beginner: so did I find this enjoyable? The answer is a resounding yes! I find this dildo excels in a very specific fashion for me. Playing with or being pegged with a large or highly textured dildo is a wonderful but extremely intense experience, and often I don't last all that long, so it doesn't really matter if I can't take a fucking for too long. However, sometimes I am in the mood for a longer session, or just something less harsh, but I often still find that after a while I get irritation and have to stop. The softness and shape of the Cupid 3 make it incredibly comfortable, and I have enjoyed some long, romantic sessions with it.

I love this dildo. It would be a brilliant, though not cheap, beginner's option, especially for anal play. The design may not appeal to everyone, though a variety of colours including some lovely looking marbled options are available. I am a believer in the principle that whilst only some people can enjoy big toys, everybody can enjoy the right small toy, and I think this is a versatile, comfortable and enjoyable option for all.

Review: Babes n Horny Frisco Harness and Mack Dildo

She Says:

We were very generously sent this fantastic harness and dildo set from the lovely people at Babes n Horny as a bit of a treat a while back. So many of you will have seen the pictures we took originally of them, it has proven to be an extremely popular post of ours, and I'm not surprised; it's an extremely sexy set. So here we are finally getting round to doing the review, but fear not, it was worth the wait...

Stepping away from the traditional sex toy colours we have the Mack in an electric blue and the Frisco harness in red denim (combined with the white shoes and socks I have on it's very patriotic don't you think? I should have done this post for the jubilee weekend!). I absolutely love the colours, often strap-on sex can be seen only as a BDSM activity, but these fun, vibrant colours shout out to the world that strap-on's can be for anyone!

I'll start with the harness first. Frisco was extremely easy to put on, even for the first time. All you have to do is step into the leg pieces and then tighten the straps up by pulling the excess material through the D-rings. I'm not sure what size I got sent, but there is a lot of excess material. For me this is probably one of the only downsides to this harness, I might get round to cutting the ends off and sewing them at some point, but in the meanwhile I tend to just double the straps back over on themselves and tuck them in somewhere so that they're not dangling about and getting in the way. On the plus side, this does mean that this harness will fit a huge range of figures (perhaps up to about a UK 22... don't quote me on that, it's a guess!). There are two ways of wearing the straps, either with them spread wide and going around your bum like a jock-strap (I find this more comfortable) or with the straps closer together at the back, more like a g-string.

Frisco is not only extremely comfortable, but it is by far the strongest of our harnesses.  Mack (the dildo) is absolutely huge, and weighs in at a whopping 800g! The Frisco harness supports it's huge weight effortlessly, without causing any discomfort to the wearer. It is the only harness we own that is able to cope with this beast! Because the straps have no give in them, once the harness is tightened, it stays tightened. If you have used strap-on's before you will be aware that one of the most annoying things is when the base of the dildo pulls away from your pubic area when you're trying to thrust, resulting in a lack of control of the toy and a much less satisfying experience. We've used the Frisco and Mack combination loads of times and we've never had this issue. In fact this is probably our most secure set, it allows me to have much more finely-tuned control over my actions and because of that I find it extremely satisfying to use.

If you decide to buy a Frisco harness you have to make a decision on what size O-ring (the ring that holds the dildo) you would like, as this is permanently sewn in and is not interchangeable. This does mean that it is slightly less versatile than other harnesses, but there are few positives that emerge from that. Firstly, it's much stronger as there aren't any fastenings to come undone. Secondly, it's much easier to use as there's no faffing around changing O-rings. In addition to this it also adds a luxury personal touch, to know that this harness is being hand-made for you to your specification; something which I think certainly helps justify the price tag. Obviously there is also the fact that many of your dildos (if you have a large collection!) will actually fit into the same sized O-ring. However, I would say that a Babes n Horny Harness is a must if you want to get a Mack (or similarly large dildo from them) for strap-on use; but I will talk more about that later.

The Mack dildo itself is an absolute beaut. Like all Babes n Horny dildos it comes with a choice of 39 different colour options! These range from classic primary colours, through to neons, skin tones, metalics and even camo; so there really is something for everyone. I would highly recommend checking out all the colour options on their website if you haven't been there before; it really is very impressive. In addition to this, if you're not too fussed about colour you can save some pennies and opt for the "random colour" option.

As I've said already, Mack is absolutely huge; it's classed as extra large on their website; but if you're not into massive dildos I really wouldn't let this put you off. Mack might be long (roughly 25cm full length) and girthy around the base, but the realistic head is actually quite small, and the top 15cm or so a completely workable size for most people. This not only means that insertion is very easy, but that you can warm up by just thrusting with the top half before taking the plunge for some deeper thrusts. In fact, sometimes I will use only the top part of the dildo for the whole session (only occasionally, normally Alex is begging for more by the time he's warmed up!). The length is one of the factors that make the Mack so fantastic for use when pegging. It can be very difficult for girls to thrust in the same way as our male counterparts, just because of our anatomy; our hips are made in a different way. I find that longer dildos make lots of pegging positions much easier (and would of course do the same for lesbian strap-on sex). So although I wouldn't class this toy as a beginner's option, I wouldn't say it's solely for advanced users either. It is definitely suitable for someone who enjoys a medium sized dildo, but has the added benefit of being able to act as a training tool to get you up to wider girths gradually; as well as being able to satisfy those who are more advanced with their anal play.

I think when it comes to attractiveness of the set, the pictures speak for themselves. I do feel very sexy in this get-up; that stunning erect angle of the Mack in the harness is just to die for. It really is a work of art.

I have actually used the Mack on myself vaginally without the harness. It was perfectly fine to use, but as it's so heavy it did really hurt my wrist. I continued with the show however as Alex found it incredibly sexy to see me using such an over-sized cock! I know Alex doesn't find the harness that comfortable to wear (it is designed for women after all), but if ever I had a sexy woman to play with I'd love her to try this dildo and harness combination out on me.; I imagine it would be a lot of fun!

If you're considering buying the Mack dildo for use in a strap-on harness, I would strongly advise that you buy a harness from the Babes n Horny range to go with it. Frisco is the only harness we have that is strong enough to hold this bad boy firmly in place to allow for a really fantastic experience. Not only this, it is the only harness we have with a large enough O-ring, we've not actually managed to find somewhere to buy interchangeable O-rings in this size (65mm) yet, though I'm sure they're out there somewhere. I realise the combination of the two products is very expensive, but I can assure you that you definitely get what you pay for. This is a top quality, reinforced, extra-strong, super-luxury harness with a huge hunk of silicone that has been carefully hand-crafted for your orgasmic pleasure. This is my absolute favourite set for use when pegging Alex, we come back to it time and time again and I know that it is a product that is going to last us for years to come. I cannot recommend these two products highly enough.

He Says:

We received these a while ago, but wanted to give them a through testing before posting a review. Which takes a while, as I'm not always up for such an experience. But when I am... Well.

We have decided to review this as a set for the reasons Lucy outlined above, but obviously you could use this dildo with a different harness or vice-versa. But the combination of the two looks striking and stunning on Lucy; the Frisco harness supports the dildo at a delicious angle, and the size and boldness of the dildo definitely excite me. The Mack dildo is a hefty chunk of fairly firm silicone, meaning it maintains its shape well, but there is a little bit of bounce and give in the material so it is not too unforgiving, in that regard at least.

Of course, being silicone means that this dildo can be sterilised by boiling for a few minutes (if you have a large enough pan, we use a jam pan which we also make our dildo soup in), as well as cleaning normally with a sex toy cleaner or a 10% bleach solution. In addition to this the Frisco harness is fully machine washable as it is made of denim, which is a rather brilliant thing as our harnesses often end up covered with a bit of lube (and perhaps on a rare occasion a bit of Santorum - if you don't know, don't ask), and it is pretty tricky to clean leather satisfactorily.


So how is this monster in me? Well, I don't want to worry people but I find it pretty comfortable - dare I say easy - to use. Before you start backing away slowly, hear me out. Despite the massive length, and huge girth at the base, the first few inches are not such an abnormal size. Therefore the initial penetration is not so brutal. You then have the choice of how much you want to take, with the advantage that you have plenty of handle to work with.

I wouldn't really recommend this dildo for prostate play, as it is somewhat difficult to manoeuvre into precise positions. It also simply seems a bit wasteful if this was your main use, as you wont be able to take advantage of the majority of this dildo.

This is similarly the case for vaginal use. It looks absolutely amazing when Lucy uses it, a real show and treat for me, but it seems to me if you are paying for all that silicone you should be able to use it!

It is in a harness that the Mack dildo really comes into its own. Providing you have a serious harness to tame this beast. The length means you can play in a variety of positions, including those such as (anal) missionary that can be tricky with a shorter dildo. Furthermore, if you find yourself in need of a real seeing to, the length and shape make that possible. I have particularly enjoyed this pairing in doggy-style, where I am able to take it to the hilt.

I have tried this harness on myself, and found it not particularly well suited to a man, as the lower straps pinch the scrotum uncomfortably (though less so than some hard leather straps might). This is unsurprising due to the target market, but it is worth noting that Babes n Horny sell a couple of harnesses designed for male use, if this is something you are interested in.

Overall, I think this combination is pretty spectacular. The harness is very sexy, with a very different look to the vast majority of harnesses, whilst being extremely strong and supportive, not to mention the practical benefits with regards washing. The only major disadvantage is the lack of changeable o-ring, though on the plus side you can choose what size you want. Mack is a wonderfully intimidating dildo (available in an array of colour options), but its bark is definitely worse than its bite. I don't think you would necessarily get the most out of it vaginally (but what do I know- pretty much the point of this blog), but it is capable of satisfying a wide range of tastes and moods anally.

Review: Sh! Women's Emporium Corset Back Harness

He Says:

As regular readers will know Lucy and I were wed a few weeks ago. We had a fantastic day, Lucy looked beautiful, and we received many lovely presents from friends and family. We also received some other fabulous gifts, which we definitely will not be showing to out friends and family. Sh! Women's Store were kind enough to send us this harness (along with the Cupid 3 dildo it is featured with in some of these images, which we will be reviewing shortly). Very bridal don't you think?

This is not a difficult product to review. It is an absolutely brilliant harness. As you can see for yourself, it is beautiful, and I love the contrast of the virginal white with the intended use. The leather is extremely soft and supple, allowing it to conform closely to Lucy's body.

All the stitching and components ooze quality. Another fantastic aspect is that as it comes sized you avoid long dangling straps, and the corset back provides another method to control the size and fit. The small size means I am unable to wear the harness myself, which is a bit of a shame because I wonder whether the soft leather might help avoid the classic harness pinch problem for men.

The Sh! corset harness provides good control for Lucy, holding decent sized dildos in place. The o-rings are interchangeable (it comes with 3 of differing sizes), but perhaps this harness isn't the best for a very weighty dildo, due to the softness of the leather. But the most disappointing thing about this harness for me is how low it sits on Lucy. This means that dildos almost point downwards, and there is nothing I love more than being confronted with an aggressively angled toy.

I am willing to forgive this though, simply for the pure beauty and quality of this harness. If you want a harness that looks innocent and sensual, yet is capable of some very non-innocent action, then this would be a brilliant choice.

She Says:

I spotted this harness in the Sh! Women's Store and immediately knew that this was a must have for our honeymoon. I want to say a huge thank you to the lovely ladies there for organising for us to review this product (and most importantly for helping me keep it secret from Alex beforehand so I really could surprise him with it as his wife). 

If you read our blog regularly you'll know that we're big fans of pegging (where a woman dons a strap-on harness and a dildo to use on a man). One of the most important things for a good pegging experience is a well-fitted, secure and comfortable harness. I am pleased to report that this corset harness not only fulfils those requirements but goes over and above by being absolutely beautiful, which helps to set the scene in the bedroom (or wherever you might be!) and get you both in the mood. It is basically a sexy piece of lingerie with added extras. One of the worst features of a strap-on is it pulling away from the pubic region whilst you're thrusting, this happens with lots of lower quality harnesses and is thankfully not a feature of this product. 

As Alex has said, it comes in different sizes. Being a fairly small person myself I really appreciate this as often one-size-fits-all harnesses are very large on me and I end up with long straps hanging around and getting in the way. It's a quick and easy harness to put on as the large section at the back makes it obvious where the waist band is (sounds trivial but I easily get confused when having to decipher lots of straps that look the same), which makes impromptu pegging sessions more likely! You tighten the straps to your size by pulling the excess through the D-rings. 

I would say that this harness isn't the strongest we own, I doubt it would hold the largest of our dildo collection. But not everyone is a size-queen like Alex, and it would hold a huge variety of small to medium/large dildos. Because of the colouring it works particularly well with the Sh! Women's Cupid 3 dildo, and I'm sure would look fantastic with other quality silicone dildos from their range. 

As you can see, in this colour it works fantastically as a virginal white bridal harness set and made for a brilliant surprise for Alex, if anyone has got any forthcoming nuptuals (or just fancy some bridal themed play!) then I would highly recommend it. If pearly white isn't your thing, you're in luck, as this harness also comes in a range of different colours. The Sh! Women's Store actually have a bridal range on their site, which I think is such a fantastic idea. What better way to start into your married (or civil partnershiped... hopefully married soon!) life than with some beautiful, sensual new toys for you to enjoy together as a couple. 

Unfortunately I don't have a girlfriend to test this product out for lesbian use, but I'm sure it would be well up to that task too. For the quality you get with this product, it is reasonably priced at £67, especially when you compare it with similar products on the market.

In conclusion, this corset harness is an absolutely beautiful product that is also extremely functional. I would recommend it to anyone wanting something pretty and girly to strap a dildo into!

Sinful Strap-On

As you've probably read, we're big fans of pegging.  This Sinful Sunday I bare all (almost!) in order to show off this seriously sexy strap-on.  The lovely Babes n Horny sent us this set as a little (well huge!) treat, it's the Frisco harness and Mack dildo.  And of course the review will be coming up soon so stay tuned.

Hope you enjoy our entry this week, 

Love Lucy xxx

Review: Tantus General

He Says:

This is one of the largest dildos Tantus make. As far as toy names go, this one seems particularly apt. It is a scene stealer, in charge of any situation. No matter how much I rationally know the dimensions of a big toy, the immediate reaction when I first see it in the flesh will still be an internal "oooph". But it is not only the size of this dildo that conjures this effect. It suits black (red is the other colour option which would also look good, but maybe slightly less intimidating), and also has a wicked curve to it. This dildo looks wonderfully brutal and menacing in a harness. The other thing of beauty about this is that it is not just wide at the base, but also all the way down its length.

Review: Babes n Horny Toni

He Says:

Angela's little sister! 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).

Toni with her big sister Angela!

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.

Review: Tantus Silk Large

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 tantus silk is made of a very smooth silicone, available in either black or purple.  It also comes in different sizes: small, medium and large.  Subjectively we would say that these sizes are modest, with even the large only 12.5 cm around the widest point.  It has a round cross-section, widest around the head, with a gradual narrowing down toward the base.  As with all silicone toys it is perfectly safe and really easy to keep clean (just use sex toy cleaner and warm water, or boil for a few minutes to sterilise) and works really well with a water-based lubricant.

Review: Lovehoney Cosmos Orgasmic Glass Dildo

She says:

Alex bought this toy for me about 2 years ago now. It has been very hard wearing so far and still looks as good as new.  It was my first introduction to glass toys and I remember being very intrigued but also slightly apprehensive about it at the time.  If you've never used glass before, the sensation is very new and intense when you first do - I was in complete bliss the first time I tried this one, and with the help of my trusty vibrator on my clit, ended up coming within seconds!  If you're interested to find out more about my general views on glass toys - I'll be blogging about my experience with them soon!

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.

Review: Silicone Dolphin Vibrator

She Says:

Unfortunately the Silicone Dolphin Vibrator  is one of those toys that sits hidden away in our drawers most of the time.  It's not particularly good, but it's not so bad that we have wanted to throw it out.

The main body is made of matte finished silicone, and the cap is made from a hard plastic.  It takes two AA batteries and is fully waterproof (which I can vouch for).  The silicone it's made from is of a questionable quality. Although it feels nice to the touch, it has become mottled, discoloured (bleached almost) and stained despite being barely used.

There are seven vibration settings, controlled by repeatedly pressing the on-off button which is integrated into the silicone casing (quite a nice feature). They are as follows: strong vibration, medium vibration, weak vibration, strong-weak-strong-weeeeeak (prolonged weak one!), strong-to-low-to-off, strong-pause-strong and weak-medium-strong.  Personally I find that the only one that does anything for me is the strong vibration... and calling it strong is a bit of a misnomer really.  It's not strong at all, in fact it's pretty feeble, but comparatively speaking it's stronger than the other settings.  The silicone does seem to carry the vibration quite well, so it is a shame that the motor isn't a bit stronger.  The shape allows for a concentrated vibration to be aimed at your clit with the tip of the dolphins nose.  The graduated shape also allows for easy penetration, and it does have a reasonable girth for a vibrator - making it a useful toy if you're in the mood for switching between penetration and clitoral stimulation and don't want to use more than one toy/hand.  I don't really enjoy the sensation of using a vibrating toy internally - but this toy would probably be good for that if you did.

Review: Babes n Horny Angela

She says:

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".

All of the BnH toys are handmade in their very own London studio (so you can feel safe in the fact that they're ethically made), to a very high standard, from 100% silicone. This means that they're all fully sterilisable, hypoallergenic, non-toxic and wonderfully safe to use.
