Review: njoy Pure Plug Medium
Feb 15th
When Pinkcherry.com offered me the Pure Plug to review I was psyched, but also kept waffling on what size to get. Medium or large? I decided on medium even thought the large is not too big because I didn’t want the weight to be an issue. Better safe than sorry. When the Pure Plug arrived I was shocked that it was so. . . little. But then I thought, “Yay, I don’t have to warm up with another plug first.” Which was true and I’ve got to say pretty damn awesome.
First things first – make sure you warm up your plug in your hand for a while or run under hot water for a couple seconds before using it. I made the mistake of thinking it was no big deal and I could use it room temperature – my ass thought otherwise. So just trust me and warm it up, your ass will thank you.
The Specifics
The njoy plug is definitely the nicest designed plug I’ve seen and used thus far. I might even be bold enough to say that it’s the perfect design (*gasp* – I know, big statement there). The head of the plug (for lack of a better term) is only 1 1/4″ diameter, but honestly I’m not sure if I’d want it any bigger since I’d have to put another plug in to warm up for it if it were a bigger size.
The base is probably the greatest thing in the universe. The neck is thin and long, so your plug won’t fall out due to the weight and the handle. . oh the handle <wax poetic> The handle is something out of this world. Firstly, it’s fucking gorgeous with njoy engraved on the end. Secondly, it’s thin, which is awesome because it’s sits perfectly between my cheeks without any kind of irritation or annoying sensations. Thirdly, it’s short, so it doesn’t poke out and give you a tail like another plug I tried so hard to love. </wax poetic>.
Other Rather Awesome Things
It’s so easy to clean! This is one of my favorite points of njoy products. Since they’re stainless steel they require less lube than other toys do and also clean up in a snap. Soap + hot water + scrub scrub scrub = happy clean toy. Just make sure you don’t use anything abrasive when you’re cleaning it. Also, it looks like a giant cufflink, which is never a negative point.
Thanks so much to PinkCherry.com for letting me review the Pure Plug Medium. In Canada and need a Pure Plug? Go to Pinkcherry.ca!
Review: Tantus Ripple Small
Dec 31st
When I saw the small Tantus Ripple was a free product of the week on Naughty and Discreet, I knew I had to have it. I’m more advanced in anal play and also don’t like thrusting, but my boyfriend has quite the reluctant ass, so I needed the smallest thing I could get that wasn’t the same size as my finger. The Ripple was obviously the perfect choice.
I got the Ripple in the mail in a very timely manner, for which I truly applaud Naughty and Discreet – my mail usually doesn’t come that fast, ever. I showed the Ripple to the boyfriend and his first response was, “Oh god, bumps.” He was really scared that they were going to hurt, but I insisted that it was small enough that it would be just fine.
The Ripple itself only goes up to 1” diameter at its widest point while the starting point of the Ripple is about the size of my pinky finger (I wear a ring size 5, if that helps you visualize). The Ripple is made of 100% silicone and is from Tantus, so you know it will be a quality product. Tantus silicone is usually towards the firm end of the silicone spectrum, which is why many people (myself included) love it. However, because the Ripple is so small in diameter, the silicone is rather squishy. You will have to grip it in a couple of places to get it to glide into your ass at first, since just pushing from the base will only cause it to double over.
<obviously necessary “Hi, Tantus. I love you” rave>
For those of you not acquainted with the awesomeness that is Tantus, I’ll provide you with the most biased introduction ever. Yes, biased. I love them and I can’t hide it, so why bother trying?
Tantus is a small company based in California that makes 100% silicone toys and also has a small line of aluminum toys called Alumina, which I would love to get my hands on. I have only 3 Tantus toys so far and I couldn’t me more impressed. Their silicone has an awesome firm quality that I have grown to love, but it also has enough give to be comfortable. Even though other companies are said to have more “life-like” silicone, to me Tantus has the same firmness as a hard cock. I know this can be argued, so I’ll leave it to you to find out by buying something awesome from them.
Tantus also has an awesome woman president who is easily contacted on Facebook and Twitter to answer questions. She’s incredibly friendly and wonderful.

Overall, my partner really liked the Ripple as an ass toy. While he said it’s definitely not as stimulating to his prostate as other toys we’ve tried, it does have a more manageable size for him so he can relax knowing that it’s not going to hurt. We only got it inserted up to the last bump, but hey, where’s the fun if you can instantly shove anything in your ass that you desire? Okay, yeah, that would be fun. I lied. But it’s not like that for everyone and that’s okay.
As far as cleaning the Ripple, I’m sure you know the drill, but if you don’t I’ll lay it out for you again. I really recommend sanitizing ass toys between uses every time. You can do this by boiling it for a few minutes, putting it in the top rack of your dishwasher with no soap for a cycle or you can wipe it down with a 1 part bleach, 9 parts water solution.
Overall, if you have a scared ass, or someone you know does, do yourself a favor and buy the Tantus Ripple – it’s unintimidating and is a great introduction to anal play. You can get your own over at Naughty and Discreet.

Review: Naughty Boy
Sep 9th
I ordered the Naughty Boy almost on a whim right after my boyfriend expressed that he liked the feeling of me using my LELO Mia around his asshole. I figured, “This is my chance!” He said he was open to the idea, but wanted to make sure whatever we got was not too big. Enter Naughty Boy. After a brief conversation with anal toy guru Jimbo Jones, the Naughty Boy was in my cart, purchased and coming for my boyfriend’s asshole via USPS.
The Rocks Off Naughty Boy is made of 100% silicone with a removable bullet vibe. Because it’s silicone you shouldn’t use silicone based lubricant with the Naughty Boy as it can erode the pretty, velvety texture of the toy. The great thing about silicone is that it’s hypoallergenic and also can be sterilized, which is something I find to be required for an anal toy. Just make sure you remove the bullet first if you’re going to put in into boiling water or the dishwasher.
The bullet has the option of replacing the battery so that your toy can last a lifetime. Also, Rocks Off sells replaceable bullets, but I have not seen them online yet. The batteries can easily be found at a battery store or even WalMart and are cheap enough that you won’t be complaining every time you have to replace the batteries.
The silicone does have a slight seam running up the toy, but it is not a hindrance. If you have or have seen the LELO Ella, it is about the same size of seam. Neither of us complained about the seam because we couldn’t feel it.
When the Naughty Boy got to my house, I got so excited that we almost forgot that we had to let out the neighbor’s dog that day! We ran into the house and put the Naughty Boy to work. After warming up my boyfriend a little bit with some oral then added copious amounts of lube to both his ass and the Naughty Boy and inserted it. Insertion was a slow process and we finally had to stop before the bump in the toy because his ass wasn’t ready for that yet and we didn’t want to strain any muscles. After some oral combined with the Naughty Boy he experienced the longest orgasm of his life. It was actually a big shock because it was nearing a whole minute!
I tried the Naughty Boy vaginally for a bit, but the size is too small to provide enough stimulation for me and the vibrations don’t carry that well vaginally. I have yet to try it in my ass, but that is definitely on our to-do list.
Overall I would recommend the Naughty Boy to anyone new to anal play and prostate play. It’s very unintimidating and easy to use, as well as easy to clean and care for. Get your own Naughty Boy at EdenFantasys!
