Review: Crystal Delights Plug
May 22nd
The CD Plug comes with a padded pouch, Boy Butter H2O lube, a glass charm attached to a business card & two Lifestyles condoms
The Crystal Delights plug is a collaboration between Virtually Adult and RubyGlass21. The most obvious feature is the giant crystal in the base of the plug. They currently are making various colors in both long and short lengths, so you can pick if you want a 1/2″ neck or a whopping 1-1/2″ neck. For those of you unfamiliar with RubyGlass21 – they are a small company in Oregon that makes really, really awesome toys. I have another piece from them that I really like and even though I got it a year ago, I still use it frequently.
I requested the longer version since I had trouble with another glass plug (Luxotiq) with a short neck staying in place. Then I read Britni’s reviews and had a major “Why did I pick the long one?” moment. However, after trying it out, I’m so, so glad I picked it.
If the neck were any shorter, the very wide base would have been painful, but because about 1/4″ of the neck could remain uninserted the base set right at the edge of my cheeks rather than far in between. This totally saved the CD plug from complete failure.
One thing that needs to be shown it just how pretty this plug really is, so I took a lot of pictures for you to see the size compared to my hand as well as the gem in the base:
In my hand. For reference, my hand measures a little over 7" from the base of my palm to my fingertips.

Overall, I really love the Crystal Delights plug, but if I could change one thing I would make the base slightly smaller so it sits between the cheeks instead of right outside. This would also make it less likely to work its way out if you’re walking around a lot. The good news is, unlike most plugs made of harder materials I’ve encountered, this one is pretty comfortable to sit down with. I had no problem sitting on the computer and talking to Epiphora after she demanded me to put the plug in and tell her if it was okay or not.
Basically, if you want some bling for your ass, here it is. You can get the longer or shorter version in a variety of colors from VirtuallyAdult.com. Also, I would like to mention that out of all the companies I’ve worked with, Shellie from Virtually Adult is awesome. She’s incredibly efficient as getting back to you quickly and is friendly as all get out. She’s great and I really encourage you to support her and her awesome company.
Thanks so much to Virtually Adult for sending me the Crystal Delights plug!
Review: Violet Moon Plug
May 14th
Note: This is my last review for EdenFantasys. The giftcards and the free toys are nice, sure, but I don’t feel ethically comfortable in supporting them and giving them more business. The links on old reviews will stay for reference, but banners will be removed. This doesn’t mean I’ll stop reviewing as I still have other companies I work with and love. If you’re out of the loop, go read AAG, Essin’ Em & Epiphora.
I forgot to take a picture before packing the Moon Plug, so just FYI, these toys aren't from Xhale!
The Violet Moon Plug is a glass plug from Xhale, a company based in Arizona. I requested the VMP for review because I wanted to see what the hype was all about. Everyone talks about how flawless and clear Xhale glass is. First things first: I’ve always been pretty happy with the other glass pieces I have, but if I could have something even nicer, why wouldn’t I want it? I was a little skeptical going into reviewing this one considering other people’s experiences with Xhale, but for the sake of comparison, I felt it could be okay.
The first thing I noticed about the Moon Plug is its base is smaller than the widest point, which concerned me. The neck is thin, so the flare is definitely there, but it’s just a little too small for my comfort. I want to get comfortable with it in, but I’m always worried that my ass is going to end up like, “NOM NOM, DO WANT TO EATZ IT.” I really, really don’t want to go to the ER to get a plug removed by a nurse. That would be the greatest level of embarrassment (unless the nurse also was into toys and understood my flare problem).
If you’re a beginner, you won’t want to start out with this one. It’s only 1 1/2″ in diameter, but the taper gets to the widest point very, very quickly. If you are a beginner and still want this plug, I would suggest warming up with a smaller plug for a few minutes before trying to insert it. Maybe something like the Fun Factory Bootie would be a good choice. There are also options that are the same diameter, but have more give, like the Tantus Ryder.
Overall, if you’re an “intermediate” user, I would say that this would be a good choice for you if you like the color and want glass. If you’re more advanced, there are other versions of the plug which are larger in size that can be found on Eden Fantasys as well as other websites.
Glass cleaning: Glass can be put in the dishwasher or boiled. I just wash mine with soap and water as I do not share my toys. If you’re sharing, you need to boil, wash in the dishwasher with no soap or wipe it down with a bleach solution and then rinse to avoid exchanging bacteria and STIs.

Review: The Cone
May 5th
The Cone is one of those toys that I’ve stared at for a couple years, thought it looked interesting and then decided I would never use it, so it just got shoved to the bottom of my wishlist. My interest peaked once again however, when I realized it was offered in black. The idea of a big pink cone was almost too comical, but a big black cone? Why not? So Tickle sent it on over.
Honestly, I was confused about how to use it. I don’t hump things – I just don’t. Ever. So I had to figure out another way to make it work. Firstly, I don’t want to ramble, so I’m going to make lists of the awesome and the not so awesome. There are a lot of things to like about the Cone, but it definitely could have its drawbacks for many people. This toy also is highly dependent on how you like to masturbate. If you’re not a fan of vaginal penetration and you would rather rub up against something (such as pillows, only better), this is your toy. If you like vaginal penetration and are less of a “humper,” this may annoy you.
Things that are awesome about the Cone:
- It doesn’t look like a typical sex toy.
- It has really unique vibration patterns.
- It’s strong as all get out.
- It’s really easy to clean.
Things that are not so hot about the Cone:
- It’s really difficult to figure how to best use it.
- It doesn’t work well in all the recommended positions.
- The pointy end can be stabby if you put a lot of weight on it.
So what’s the verdict? I think the Cone is great, if you can figure out how to use it and don’t mind it blocking vaginal access from most positions. If you’re having sex in a doggie-style position or variant, you can have some vaginal access, although you really have to play with the angle to get the depth of penetration you want while keeping your clit aligned with the point at the top of the Cone.
This also presented a problem as the angle I had to be at caused my partner to put a lot of his weight (he weighs around 175) on me and it caused my pubic bone to grind against the top of the Cone. Less than pleasant. I thought about trying some of the positions listed, but honestly most of them just seem awkward. One of the only ones that is practical is the sitting on-the-Cone-while-giving-a-blowjob position.
For cleaning I just wipe it off since you obviously can’t submerse it well without killing it. I just have mind sitting in a drawer, but if you’re concerned about lint (I just wipe it before using) keep it in a plastic bag.
Overall, get the Cone if you want something new, but if you’re not willing to experiment I would pass this one up. It takes some work figuring out the best way to use it.
Thanks so much to Tickle for letting me review the Cone!
Review: Soju Sugar Drop
Apr 29th
The Soju Sugar Drop is one of those dildos you almost force yourself to love because. . . it’s fucking orange. Seriously, when’s the last time you saw a bright orange sex toy that was silicone as well. I was overly impressed. It also comes with its own clear acrylic stand. While I found this to be incredibly unnecessary, it was still a nice touch.
So, enough about me liking that it’s orange – How does it actually stack up? Sadly. It’s kind of mediocre. It’s both longer and wider than the LELO Ella, which for me fell short because it didn’t have a long enough handle, so I thought it would work out. However, it just doesn’t quite make the cut. It’s g-spot end, in addition to being very girthy, is also kind of sharp around the edges. By this I mean the head is very flat instead of being rounded around the edges and because of this insertion can be painful rather than pleasurable.
The other end isn’t painful and it does provide some g-spot stimulation, but it’s also not amazing. It has some texture on the sides, but it’s not raised enough to be felt much. It seems like it’s more of a decorative design.
The plus side of this is that I wasn’t a big fan of Ella either, so it may just be the shape I don’t like. That means if you’re one of the 99% of people that are in love with Ella, you’ll probably like the Sugar Drop even better, provided you like a little girth in your toys.
Now for the run-down on cleaning: I would assume you all know this, but just to be safe – Since the Sugar Drop is silicone you can clean it with soap & warm water, in the top rack of the dishwasher sans soap or by boiling it for a couple minutes. You can also wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution. If you’re going to be sharing, you need to cover it with a condom or boil/bleach/dishwasher-clean it.
Overall, I’m not nuts for the Sugar Drop. I thought it would be the improved version of the Ella, but it just didn’t make the cut. But as I said before, if you like the Ella, by all means, go buy this one as I’m sure you’ll absolutely love it!

Review: Jollies Thrust
Apr 6th
When I first saw the Jollies Thrust I was a little confused, so I never really paid much attention to it. However, I have both the Jollie and the Jollet from Jollies, so I figured I should add one more two my collection since I loved the two I had so much. The Jollies Thrust is a 100% silicone dildo that is maybe the weirdest looking toy I’ve ever seen. It was sitting on my wishlist forever until I finally decided I need to just face my confusion and try it out. How hard could it be? Dildos are pretty basic. Lube dildo, put in vagina, thrust until heart’s content.
So here I was with my new sense of confidence about the Thrust only for it to arrive and be unbelievably floppy. All that hope and confidence? Down the drain. How the fuck is it supposed to do anything when it’s so incredibly floppy? Again, I was wrong because it pretty much works like a charm.
I absolutely am in love with the Thrust and think everyone with an orifice of any type should have one. The idea is the when you thrust it slightly, the bulged end will massage your g-spot – and it definitely does. Unlike some toys, the pressure provided by the Thrust is constant since the bulged end is always on the g-spot. In one word? Magical.
My only complaint would be that since it’s so floppy, you probably want to skip using it in a harness since you’ll have little to no control of where it’s going. You don’t want to spend half your time getting the Thrust into your ass/pussy/wherever you want it to go.
I know you guys know how to clean silicone, but in case you had a memory lapse, you can clean with soap and water, run it through the dishwasher with no soap or boil it for around 3 minutes in a pot of water. Choose the latter two if you’re planning on sharing, or just use a condom if you don’t feel like doing those steps.
If you want to know more about the Thrust, head over to the EdenFantasys product page and watch my video. The Fleshlight makes a cameo, so don’t miss out!
