I won the Happy Rabbit Natural on a Twitter give away, it arrived quickly as is normal for Lovehoney.

The Happy Rabbit comes in a slip cover over a tasteful and classy black box. There is nothing on the inside box which screams sex toy so it is perfect for storing your new best friend. Inside the rabbit and charger nestle in a plastic insert along with a high quality drawstring storage bag.

The Happy Rabbit needs 6 hours of charge before first use but there were no flashing lights just a discrete light at the base which changes to green for go when fully charged.

The controls on the rabbit are simple big button for the shaft, little button for the clit stim. I own other rabbits and I like them however I was glad to see the end of the pearls inside the rotating shaft design. For two reasons: firstly the noise levels are usually high secondly and most important I find the rotation unpleasantly uncomfortable.


Happy Rabbit has no pearls and is very quiet in use, I made more noise than the toy. This rabbit takes solo pleasure to a whole new level for me. I used just a little Pjure Woman Toy Lube, the shaft was easy to insert and the ears hit the correct spot, no more having to trim the ears because they are too long and miss. The three motors in this toy are powerful and quiet, within minutes I was on my knees and orgasming.

Cleaning was easy, the toy is splashproof so can be cleaned with soap and water. While cleaning I did notice a seam in the silicone shaft of the rabbit but hadn’t noticed it in use so  feel sure it isn’t a problem.

I would recommend this rabbit to any woman, regardless of their experience with sextoys.

PicoBong Koa

This was sent to me as a tester by Lovehoney


This vibe is very small and the quietest I have used. Running on the highest speed in the bedroom it couldn't be heard from the ensuite. Perfect if you share a house or live with nosey relatives.

Originally when I tried it my initial reaction was that the vibrations were strong with a good range of patterns so there would be one to suit most women. However on further testing, although not too many times I have been frustrated at the lack of power and needed to change to another bullet to finish the job.

The smooth curved end makes a great handle, so even when well lubed you can keep a good grip.

The Koa is advertised as a couples toy. We didn't test it as such mainly because the curved plastic end has very little give in it and is not particularly large. I am not sure that it would make a comfortable cock ring for anyone of average girth and to be brutally honest there was no way I was going to inflict that on my partner.


The packaging was also a let down. Priced at almost £30 I would expect a storage bag or at the very least a  box that I could keep in order to store the toy. The box split when I opened it and the vibe is held in place with a small card insert which I couldn't reuse to store the toy.


Overall the Koa is a weak clitoral vibe although almost silent, but it is fiddly to use, the control buttons are hiden in the name and with lots of lube on it are difficult to find and push. The other big issue I had was that I found it difficult to clean due to the embossed PicoBong name on the silicone part. Time to get graphic, the embossed area attracts cum and lube, if the toy isn't cleaned immediately it dries into the embossing. As someone who likes to go to sleep after a good orgasm I need toys that are easy to clean when things have dried on them. This isn't.


For the new range from Lelo I have to say I expected a lot more and was a little disappointed.

Rene Rofe Crotchless Lace French Knickers with Ribbon Ties

These arrived quickly after being ordered, as is normal for Lovehoney. The packaging is simple throwaway plastic, nothing to embarrass you if the dustmen see it.

 First impressions: I loved the fabric and the way it felt, wasn't sure about the ribbon ties. The way they join the fabric didn't look very strong. They fitted well and for me the sizing was right.

Wore these on a trip to see BF, they were comfortable and easy to forget that they were 'naughty' knickers, even during a 20 minute drive. It took him a while to realise what these were but the look on his face was worth the cost of buying them. Oh and the ribbon ties held up to a long session so no worries about them for next time.

The knickers were washed by hand and have washed well, which is always worth considering when spending £10.99 on a pair.

Overall I would recommend these as a first pair of crotchless knickers.

Sinful Sunday


His  Princess

 Put upon a pedestal
waiting to be worshipped
My toes at the level

for a kneeling man's nose

Don't look up
'til given permission
worship my feet
in your submission





See who else is playing Sinful Sunday


Sinful Sunday

Saturday 5 May 2012


I am going to steal another song lyric and apologise to another band. Sorry Tesla.
Now, if you can imagine this, the whole world sharing one big kiss
These are thoughts all through my brain, that I daydream everyday
That I'm alive and well, and right now, I'm alive, I'm feeling...well
It's my life to live my way, so I'll keep daydreaming away
And who knows, maybe someday, it will all come true
And I will get my way, and we will live as one



I remember how frustrating it was as a mature single woman trying to buy my first sex toy. I didn’t have any friends I could discuss it with and had no idea of where to start. Like I usually do when I am stuck I turned to the internet.
I was still confused, bewildered at the choice and truth be told embarrassed that this is what I was resorting to. I finally chose a rabbit, the Rampant Rabbit Aqua, with it an RO 80 bullet.
The rabbit was a disappointment and rarely sees the light of day.  The bullet died from overuse but has been replaced by another and several of the larger RO bullets.  Given the fact that this rabbit really didn’t do it for me I might have given up, but then I found a website where products are reviewed honestly by customers. All reviews seem to make it onto the site, even the negative ones.
I spent time reading before I spent any more money. Reading the reviews was a revelation. I no longer felt a freak for needing to use sextoys even when I met my partner they stayed as part of our sexual experience. I started to add some of my own reviews, as my collection grew so did my confidence.
When I started my blog I made a very deliberate decision to mix posts about me, my life and my experiences with reviews of sextoys and lingerie. The reason, if it helps just one person to find the right toy for them then it was worth it. Giving one woman the information and advice with which to improve their sexlife

Her eyelids flicker as she wakes
The sunbeams dance around her
Lazily she reaches a hand down
Her fingers start to work
As they do she opens her eyes
The sunbeams dancing through soapy water
Jolt her awake
She grabs the sheet to cover her nakedness
Too late he has seen all

If you could go back and do it all again.

Inspired by a forum post.

 
Dear 16 year old self,


Life seems kind of tough right now but keep going, The things which life throws at you will make you a stronger, better person. It turns you into a woman who is independent, smart, hardworking, fun and sexy. All the things that you admire, in the popular girls, but don't yet see in yourself.

Take the opportunities which come your way, the crap jobs, the crap relationship (walk away from that one when the time comes with no regrets and your head held high, it was the right choice to make and he finds his soul mate in someone else). You will be alone and lonely for a while but he would have stifled you. Holding on to you too tightly, like holding a butterfly it damages your wings. Without him you fly again.

These experiences prepare you for the hardest journey you will ever take.


For becoming a Mum to an angel, for becoming a Mum to 2 survivors, for loving and losing the man you thought you would grow old with. The choices you make for him earn you the respect you don't feel you will ever get. Even Dad eventually has to express some parental pride and makes it clear he respects the way you made the hardest of choices. Don't be afraid of those choices, everything you do is done in his best interests. Stand your ground about taking the children to see him in hospital, they will barely remember him in a few short years so every memory is precious to them.

That part of your journey is hard and you will fall apart afterwards.

You do pick yourself up and with that comes a man who will finally bring out the best in you, who makes you feel special and sexy. Who gives you the confidence to finally overcome the body image issues you have now. Who will take the naughty pictures you post on line. The man who introduces you to the kinky side of you that you hadn't seen up until then. He has his faults, but embrace them, they are part of what makes him special to you.

You will come to a place where you like yourself.

oh and teaching isn't for you but enjoy University it teaches you a lot about people.


With love your 42 year old self

So with appologies to Hinder

Go for it
Run toward it
Dive in head first
Live life with no regret
Put your heart out there
Don't be scared you might get hurt
But it's all worth it in the end
Cause the best is yet to come (Yeah yeah)
