Early2Bed is a toy shop that I am working with for the first time. They sent over a small shipment of toys, one of which is this ruler that I am reviewing now. I mentioned how interested I was in this ruler and they were nice enough to send me one. Being a girl that can appreciate a good spanking and some fun school–time roleplay, I thought that this ruler would hit all the right spots. What I was surprised to find was that it was much better quality than I was expecting.

The ruler is actually quite thick. It’s definitely not anything you will find as you travel that back to school aisle, looking for school supplies. Instead, what you get is a ruler that is a quarter of an inch thick. Measurements for this bad boy are 12″ x 1 1/2″. The end of the ruler is wrapped in leather for the spanker’s convenience and comfort. The leather wrapping begins after the ruler has surpassed 8 inches.

I was immediately sold by the look of the ruler. In all honesty, for the price, I expected it to be much thinner. Of course, price and look aside, I had no idea how it would feel. I gave it a few playful smacks along my hand to discover that the possibility for quite a sting actually exists. After handing it over to the appropriate party I found out how big of a sting this could provide. The ruler is rigid and offers a sharp bite to each spanking. You can expect some nice marks (or not) if you prefer them.

As a role-play toy it works well. It is easy to drift into that Teacher-student scenario with the right toys in hand. Since this looks just like a ruler, you have the perfect play prop in waiting. This ruler, being anything but ordinary, allows you to step up your play with a much bigger sting. Under the right circumstances you will hear the beautiful sound of a firm ruler against supple flesh creating that smack sound so many of us love. You might even get to hear some moaning and groaning under the right conditions. I suppose that depends on what you’re going for.

Toys that you can strap on and wear in public are usually fun to play with. Of course, most of them cannot really be worn and used in public unless you want someone to hear the familiar buzzing sound coming from under your skirt. So, naturally, when it’s review time and this type of toy is being tested that is one of the first things that I pay attention to. The Beautiful G-Spot Butterfly passes the test by being quiet enough for use in public. Of course, it’s not a wireless unit, so you might have to be crafty with your switch unit depending on where you are going.

This Butterfly is special because it has a dong attachment that is meant to target your g-spot. Meanwhile it has specific pointed ends that are meant to target both the clit and the anus on opposite ends. On the surface this one sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well in many ways it is. The Beautiful G-Spot Butterfly has some definite positive points, but for $50 there are better toys and better butterflies on the market.

For a Jelly toy this isn’t so bad. It’s firmer than a lot of the others I have come in contact with and it has potential. However, there are some issues. For starters, and perhaps one of the biggest negatives, is the weight of the toy. It’s incredibly heavy. In fact, it’s heavy enough to not want to stay inserted unless you have on some form-fitting panties on to keep it in place, and even then it seems to fall out. So, if you’re planning to wear this out for a night on the town, despite its quiet nature it probably won’t work out.

Next is the issue of the penis and the length. The toy is five inches long. While it does serve a purpose at the length it is, a few added inches wouldn’t have hurt. However, it probably wouldn’t have helped the weight of this either. So, I guess you’re screwed (though not literally) either way, eh? It does not target the G-spot as effectively as I would have liked it to at this length. A nicer way to put it is that it’s limited in how it targets those sweet spots. When lying down you are going to be in a better position to reach orgasm. Sitting up with this may end up making you feel uncomfortable instead of overly stimulated.

While the penis has its issues, the stimulating ends do, as well. Likewise, these are just a bit too small, especially when sitting up, to do their job with precision. Again if you are lying down you can position the ends better, but this won’t work when you are up and moving. Of course, this is the type of toy that you want to use in different positions whether you are on the go or not. The problem is that you have to lie down to get the best use out of the Beautiful G-Spot Butterfly.

The unit offers five different speeds that deal with the vibration of the ends and the rotation of the penis. Even at the highest speed I felt that the levels were not high enough to do anything, but get me hot and leave me frustrated. That was probably the worst part of all, though I am sure that in the right position this could make some women feel mighty nice. I just do not feel that it ends up being worth it if you have to position yourself to make it work the way that it should in any position (given the nature of the toy). Due to these issues and taking in the factor of the price, I have to say that you can find plenty of better vibrators out there in this price range.

Getting all these toys for review means I need somewhere to keep them. I need to keep them away from the prying eyes of others. The Sugar Sak does just that. It’s a designer style bag made of satin on the outside and a special, microbiostatic barrier on the inside to keep your toys safe and clean. I received the Red Sugar Sak in Large to test out. From the looks of things Adam & Eve stocks Small to X-Large in colors red, black, and pink.

I receive a lot of toys so even if I get rid of some of them, my collection has become fairly large. It’s not an option of hiding that special one under the pillow or at the bedside table. In fact, most of them remain in the locked closet. Of course, having some closer to the bed would be a definite advantage. That’s where the Sugar Sak comes in. My biggest concern was the amount of toys that it would be able to hold. Even at the largest size, it’s not huge. Still, it does end up being large enough to hold a nice selection of your favorite toys and other items. Currently, mine is holding about four vibrators and one small bottle of stimulation cream. Depending on the size of the vibrators or toys, it’s possible that you could fit more into the Sak.

I am a big fan of the aesthetic appeal of the Sugar Sak. The red satin is gorgeous and the black ribbon straps that close the Sak are a nice fit. You can put your toys in this and keep it where people cannot see it or you can leave it out in plain view amongst your bed pillows. Either way, it gets the job done and looks good doing it.

When it comes to Rabbit Vibrators my feelings are fairly well known. I cannot stand them. Alright, it’s not all that bad, but I do feel they are highly overrated. When it comes to rabbits I find that the clit attachments are usually all but useless because they either are positioned in a spot that does you no good or the power in the vibrations is not steady enough or strong enough to suit the purpose. Up until now I have not found a rabbit that I have used more than once, for review purposes. As I said, that was until now.

The Rotating Rabbit was sent to me for review by Adam and Eve. When I first saw it, I actually rolled my eyes. The thought of tossing another rabbit in the trash was not appealing at all. However, I popped in the batteries (3 AA to be exact) and convinced myself that this Rabbit would be different. Aesthetically this Rabbit is different. There are deep ridges running down the shaft and the rabbit attachment is extremely detailed. I couldn’t help but laugh at the little pert nose and the eyes that are on the bunny’s face. Meanwhile, the ears were incredibly pliable, which is important since the meat (and pleasure center) of this attachment is not in the ears, but in the bullet that resides in the rabbit itself.

The Rotating Rabbit offers six main speeds, but there are some variations in there that are available. Three of the speeds rotate the shaft and the other three vibrate the bunny. You can switch the speeds to various heights to suit your needs. Wanting to know the full power of the rabbit, I used them both at the top.

There are some pretty big positives and a few small negatives to this toy. Let’s start with the negatives to get them out of the way. When I first tested this toy on my hand the rotation was highly noticeable. You could easily see it twirl and you could feel it if you gripped it. I’ve used this about three times now (I needed to be sure it worked, didn’t I?) and after using this, the rotations have moved on to a dull roar.

Receiving a sex toy with Sue Johanson’s name and face on the box can immediately initiate a giggle or two. I’ve watched her show before and I think she offers great advice. For some reason though, it always makes me laugh that someone that might be considered elderly is the sex goddess of national television.

Still, if she has what it takes and it appears she does, then more power to her. I am sure that I have tried out some of her recommendations in the past, but this is the first one that comes with her bona fide seal of approval. So, naturally I was more than excited to try it out.

I will admit it, when I receive toys for review I am like a kid at Christmastime. I rip open the package and hope that there is time for me to test them out, right that second (any excuse for sex, right?). Some days I am able to whip them out and determine if the magic is there and other days I have to wait. With the Royal Ripple, I got lucky, and when I say that I mean in more ways than one.

When I first went to try this out, I discovered that the toy would need two AA batteries. This would be fine if I had any, but I was all out. Being the resourceful, pseudo-slut I can sometimes be, I reached for the remote just to get an idea if half-strength batteries would show that this toy was worth using more than once. I turned it on with a twist of the knob and held it to my hand. I considered the strength for a moment, and then asked my boyfriend what he thought. We both concluded that it was of decent power for having batteries that were not full strength and proceeded to get into testing it out.

Looking at the sleek, slim design of the Hummingbird, I have to admit I wasn’t imagining anything remotely positive when it came to the thought of having an orgasm with it. The Hummingbird is much thinner than your average vibrator. All in all, it’s bigger than a pencil, but not much. There are a lot of sensory options here that people will love. The shaft has thorns running up and down because it resembles a flower stalk with the end tip being a flowery blossom. On the side, the vibrator sports a hummingbird (hence the name), which is in the rabbit-style that so many people are fond of in their vibrators.

One of my favorite parts of this toy was the aesthetic value. The bright purple and green of this toy just work so well together. With the average toy colors matching some flesh color in some way, this one just stands out from the pack. Obviously, it needs a hook and in many ways it seems that hook is all about the looks of this small wonder.

It’s important to note that this is not recommended as your main toy. By that I mean that it is encouraged that this is used as a side/occasional toy and that you own others, as well. Backups are always important because they allow you to choose the kind of sex or orgasm you are interested in. With one, you end up in that monotonous space that won’t do you any good. Having a couple gives you options and that’s something that everyone needs.

The Hummingbird would be a fabulous foreplay toy for couples that are more timid about their toy choices. The problem with using this as your main orgasm source is that before you get to the mind blowing final event, the feeling will fizzle out. It’s a frustration toy. It does a hell of a nice job getting you in the mood, but since there is no orgasm and you just sit on the brink, you’re more likely to want to throw it against the wall at some point. However, using it in couples play gives you the chance to take what it does best and then add in a whole lot more after you’ve used this toy for its purpose. The goal with the Hummingbird is to know how to use it. It’s not a bad toy, but if you’re depending on it for all things sex-oriented you will be let down.

Another thing that struck me about the size of this toy was that it would be a nice choice for adjusting to anal penetration. It’s small enough to allow people the pleasure of learning anal, but not so big to scare them away from it. The same can also be said for double penetration. If you’ve been looking for a way to try it, but have been nervous, this would be the perfect toy to test things out. After all, the Hummingbird is only one inch in width so it’s not a very intimidating toy in that respect.

I like to think of myself as a vibrator aficionado. I know my way around a sex shop and I have certainly tried my fair share of toys…for review purposes, of course. However, when I received a Hitachi several months back I was expecting it to be overrated. Plenty of people have told me of their experiences, but I just didn’t buy it. I owned a Wahl 7-in-1 at one point and it was decent, especially for the price, but I had others that I liked equally as much. Just knowing the Hitachi is like the Grand Daddy of all vibrators made me want to try it even more.

So, I contacted some friends over at Babeland.com and I nabbed one for review. Come to find out, it would only take one use, for me to fall madly in love with the Hitachi. That was months ago though. I tend to try something out and whether I like it or not at the time, it does not mean that it will last forever. It certainly doesn’t mean that months down the line it will be the favorite toy in my arsenal. So, did the Hitachi hold up?

In an answer…hell yes it did.

In fact, I feel like it kind of ruined me for other sex toys. If I want something powerful, the Hitachi is right where I go. It gets the job done and months later it is still as amazingly powerful as it once was. In the beginning I felt the price was somewhat of a downfall. Babeland currently has the Hitachi with the G-Whiz attachment (which was what I received for review) available for around $85.

When I first saw the Adam & Eve Body Blossom with its cute design and the flowery blossom in just the right spot, I honestly was not expecting too much. I didn’t think anything that cute could pack the force that I was interested in feeling when it came time to test it out. However, I was wrong. It might look small, but looks can be deceiving. This toy will definitely do you right (pun intended, all the way) if you let it.

This is going to be a great option for someone that does not want to spend a lot of money, but still wants to get a quality sex toy out of the deal. The Body Blossom retails for about $40, which isn’t bad for all the pleasure that you will get from this innocent looking flower. If you cannot afford a luxury vibrator you will love the Body Blossom. Not only that, but there are so many great uses to this toy. It will end up working wonders on all of your pleasure spots. The Body Blossom is good for both penetration and clitoral stimulation.

Lately, I have been leaning heavily towards the luxury line of toys. Some of them I absolutely love and others I try and realize that they are a big waste of money. So, I didn’t know whether I would enjoy this toy or not. I looked at it for a moment, but after that I was all but convinced that it was cute, but would be too timid for my tastes. As this was for a review, I was hoping that it would wow my senses, but I tried to put all bias from my mind either way until I had tried it out, once and for all.
