Regular readers of this blog have likely noticed that there was a sudden rash of sex toy reviews recently posted. Yeah it’s my blog and I can do what I want, but I do want to mildly apologize because I don’t like it being that way, that high ratio of reviews to regular posts on my blog. MY blog, not other blogs. Just sayin’, I’m not saying I hate it when other blogs post that way.
K?
K.
I do have good reason though. Part is due to my writing funk in April, I couldn’t fucking review toys. I just couldn’t be arsed to do my usual reviewing. And since I fully believe that the whole damn point to me reviewing them is to cover all pertinent information so that a potential buyer has all the information they need, I didn’t want to do a short post or a half-assed review. Yawn, right?
The other part of the reason is that I’m changing who I review for. I know personally quite a number of other bloggers who review and they review for a number of companies – anywhere from 2 or 3 up to 6 or 7. But I’m getting picky. My god am I getting to be a picky little bitch. No jelly/rubber toys. Nothing from Doc Johnson, or Topco, or the awful California Exotics. And I won’t bother to review a toy that others have reviewed and have said it wasn’t powerful enough. If nothing else I have learned that if ANY other reviewer claims that the toy isn’t powerful enough to get them off, it surely will not get my clit-o-steel off.
The manifestation of my pickiness then is coming out in multiple ways.
VibeReview – while I still think they’re a great company, just doesn’t have a decent selection of things *I have not tried*. I don’t want to imply that they don’t stock much in general. But it’s time for me to move on from them for now, with fond memories of them being the first ones to let me review toys.
Babeland and Sextoy.com – I had a lot that I wanted to say, but the diplomatic polite side won out. I will leave it at this: I had minor “affiliate/reviewer” issues with both companies, multiple minor things over time and it all added up to “stop”. Also with Sextoy.com, they have not become the site I thought they had the potential to be, back when I first reviewed the site. Too many products, from too many suppliers, and not enough focus on quality over quantity.
There were other retailers that I had sporadically reviewed for or reviewed for once, that I’ll also not be continuing with simply for the fact that I wanted to pare down.
While I decided against publicly airing my issues, if anybody, reviewer or buyer, wants to know more about the whys – email me.
I plan though to stay on as affiliates of these companies, so I will still get credit if you buy things via my links.
The other side of this change now is that I’m only going to be reviewing for one retailer exclusively, and that is EdenFantasys (didja notice the cool banner that I MADE over there in the sidebar, eh eh?? I think it rocks, frankly, and that I was able to make it change photos. I liked doing it, it’s personalized to my site). I know that a couple of bloggers had major issue with them last year. While the company is still owned by the same person, there were TONS of staff changes and other changes, and I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt, clean slate, etc etc and so on.
I’ll also be occasionally reviewing items directly for Liberator.com.
This change up means that I’ll be doing fewer reviews over all. For those that don’t care much about reviews, it’s good news! You can also expect that some reviews will be in a more fluid format, less “inside the box” kinda like this (awesome. hot. steamy.) review that Sinclair did recently.

You guys know that I am nothing if not honest. So contained herein you get my very honest review. I hope that it gets read by potential buyers and by the reviewing community, as well. I also want to note that I did not have to review this toy – I was given the option not to, or to receive another of the same toy that perhaps might not be defective. I declined the replacement toy but I wanted to write the review anyways.
Also….yeah I know. Overload of reviews lately. It’ll be over soon, you can skip them, whatever. There is reason for it though, I promise.
The Boss Lady is apparently a Babeland Exclusive vibe, made by Fun Factory. Therefore, you won’t find this anywhere else.
There was a very strange and confusing mix-up regarding this toy which went out to the reviewers that did not get resolved for a few weeks, or noticed. I’ve decided not to go into it here. If you really want to know, just ask. The bottom line is that what I have is different yet the same as what is now being sold by Babeland. The circumstances though have not only driven home my decision to not review for Babeland anymore, but also I do not feel comfortable fully endorsing them. That right there is MY opinion, not the opinion of many other reviewers.

I’m such a giver – wouldn’t you agree?? I’ve got two things to give away. Well, one is really multiple things!
First is a Quickie Kit. Who’s this from? Me!! I have items that I’ve been given as swag here and there that I haven’t used and why not put it to good use? Unless you review a lot of toys, this sort of a kit isn’t going to be something most people will have, or have spares of.
The kit is housed in a For Your Nymphomation brown faux leather 5 incher case. Comes with a sturdy skeleton-key lock and 2 keys. As with all FYN cases, it’s really well made and it’s such a pretty brown. And all this fits in, with some room to spare:
- * A Babeland Pocket Rocket (brand new, of course). It’s a Doc Johnson manufactured rocket, read on Babeland’s site all about it and the glowing reviews. What good is an emergency quickie kit with no battery?? I have a battery in the case for ya, too.
- * Two LifeStyles Form-Fitting condoms plus a little 3 ml one-shot blister of lube
- * If I happen upon any other little goodies that will fit in, I’ll add it.
Since this is being sent directly to you from me, I’m not going to ship overseas – just too pricey for such a little thing. I will ship to Canada though. What this also means is that you’ll have to give me a name and mailing address. Not ok with that? Well, move on then to the next item up for grabs.
A Babeland $20 Giftcard
Babeland gift cards can be used online or in the brick stores. You’ll deal with Babeland directly on this, and they’ll send you one – they’ll only ship domestic, though.
What do you have to do? It’s simple, really. Just comment here and tell me if you’re entering the drawing for just one or both items, and then tell me what you’ll do with it or why you really need it. My favorite comments will win. When you comment, you must include a working email address in the comment form, but I think that’s required anyways. One entry per person. Also, keep in mind that with every comment, I see your IP address. Don’t try to sneak in extra chances that way :P
Contest ends Tuesday, March 31st

Just in time for a sexy Valentine’s Day gift! When you want a kit that’s all-inclusive, Babeland kits are certainly the way to go! This one is theme for Valentine’s Day with it’s heart wrapper and sweet name, including fun couple items to ensure a pleasurable celebration!
Set the mood with the mini Babeland Jasmine Ginger massage candle. Light it right away so that when you’re ready for the massage, enough of the soy wax has melted to ensure a slippery massage.
A roll of the heavy large metal dice will kick things off in a good direction, while you savor the great combinations (suck nipple, kiss lips) and giggle at the silly ones (stroke lips).
The Babeland Pocket Rocket is a nice quality one – I’ve had ones in which it’s either on, or you’re taking it apart. This one has firm clicks to each position. It’s a lower-pitched buzz, which I find preferable. High-pitched buzzy vibes can get annoying and fail at the task at hand. The kit even includes one AA battery for the vibe!
My only dislike of the kit is the jelly cock-ring. The material can’t be sterilized and it’s vulnerable to getting torn. The placement of the thumb-sized bullet vibe just isn’t right for my body. However, I know that there are good reviews on vibes like this so don’t discount it because of my picky cunt :)
To finish off the kit they have included a large sample of their luxurious Entice lube, and a Crown brand condom that boasts being very thin – it is one that is as close to feeling bare as you can get while wearing a condom.
All in all, I really like it. So Share the Love for Valentine’s Day!
For anyone who decides to get the kit, shoot me an email first. I have a Babeland coupon code I can give you, for 10% off, and also a voucher for 30 minutes free VideoOnDemand so you can heat things up that night with a bit of porn! Porn courtesy of PassionateVOD.com

A bullet vibe is pretty straightforward. But yet some are made better than others. And some just suck.
