Very short post, I have just sat and read the most amazing parenting blog, Raising My Rainbow and had to share.

Huge amount of respect for a family who accept and nuture a creative gender child. As a mum I know how hard it is to raise a child who is different in some way. As a family we are trying to get my eldest assessed and recognised as being 'on the spectrum'. The Autistic Spectrum. The difficulty comes from her being the 'wrong' gender to have ASD in any form.

Doc Johnson Wonderland Pleasurepillar 10 Function Silicone Vibrator


I was sent this as a tester by Lovehoney and would normally write a review quickly but this one had me puzzled.


The Alice in Wonderland themed packaging is lovely.  For a company which usually uses cheap looking plastic it was a revelation. The box looks very much like a book, making this a great idea for a gift.

On opening the colour is fantastic. I dislike pink toys and this is an unusual and intense colour.


From there it went downhill and very quickly. The vibrations are too weak for me and the shape was wrong. The Pleasurepillar wouldn't and couldn't hit my G-spot if it had a target painted on it. I have tried this twice and both times I got so frustrated by the weak vibrations I have given up on it and reached for an alternative.


Cleaning the Pleasurepillar is not as easy as it could be. The bumps in the vibe needed careful attention to get them clean, I would be concerned about anything lurking in the grooves after cleaning.


Overall concept and colour are great but form and function let this vibe down badly.

Not a toy I would recommend.

Getting back into the  swing of things.

The tail end of 2012 has been a long spiral downwards for me, in November I hit rock bottom. Very few friends and none of my extended family know but I got caught lining up an attempt to end things. I was found with a pile of pills, some say suicide is a selfish act and in some ways it is: you are not thinking of others and the effect you will have on their lives. You are not thinking at all.

There was a black hole into which I had fallen and couldn't climb out of, every effort resulted in the sides crumbling away.

I am lucky I have a supportive partner, who understands and didn't read the riot act along with a new GP who listens. The start of 2013 has been a more positive one with effective antidepressants leveling my moods. Unfortunately they have stopped my sex drive in its tracks.

I am getting back to being me, taking time out for me. Spending time with the people who are important to me. I have written my first review in six months, it was a tough one to write but I found enjoyment in writing again.

So watch out world GG is back.
