Review: Tantus Alumina Motion
Jul 18th
First things first – why the hell did I pass the Alumina line up for so long? I’ll tell you why: I’m an idiot. I, for some reason, heard the word aluminum and immediately thought “soda can.” I then assumed it would be easily dented, light and hollow like it’s cheap soda counterpart. Well, I was really wrong.
The Motion is heavy, streamlined and, for lack of a better phrase – plain fucking awesome. While it’s not Pure Wand heavy, it does have a weight that can be felt. Its finish is a cross between completely shiny and matte – which may make little to no sense, but I swear it’s true. It has to do with the way the aluminum is polished.
The Motion isn’t just any normal dildo, because it’s also interchangeable with the Alumina Flow and the Alumina Revolve. Which, of course, made me think it was awesome even more so than I did before.
I thought I would be irritated by o-ring in the middle that keeps the two sides of the Motion together nice a snug, but it actually added a lot of stimulation. I realize everyone’s vagina is totally different, but with my anatomy the o-ring barely brushes the opening of my vagina and adds a tickling sensation like you would get with a rabbit vibration that has rotating pearls inside.
If you asked me to state a downfall it would only be that after washing, you’ll want to keep it separated to let the two parts dry before screwing them back together. I don’t see this as being hard, but if you’re a person who can’t leave your sex toys out for a few minutes after use to dry it is something to think about before purchasing. It’s really not a big deal and if you didn’t have time, you could easily grab a hair dryer and dry it on cool for 1-2 minutes before putting it back together.
I really can’t tell you how much I love the Motion. It provides everything I want in a good dildo:
- G-spot stimulation (light)
- Stimulation of the first couple inches of the vagina
- Can be used with silicone or water-based lubes
- Has a weight that can be felt
- Is made out of high quality aeronautical grade aluminum
- Made in the USA from Tantus, who is a great company
If you want one of these (and really, why wouldn’t you?), head over to PinkCherry.com and snag one. Just click on the banner below to be taken to the site.
Thanks so much to Pink Cherry for sending me the Motion for review! I love it!
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!

Review: Vixen Creations Astrovibe
Jan 6th
The first time I saw the Astrovibe from Vixen one thought went through my mind – “Giant lime green dildo. DO WANT.” At the time I really wanted to request it for review, but by the time it came out I already had another assignment and therefore wasn’t able to get it.
After the reviewers that had it got their reviews written I absolutely had to have it since both of them gave it five stars. I definitely couldn’t turn down a giant lime green dildo of death that was obviously miraculous. So I put in the famous Big Order of Death and made sure I included the Astrovibe.
I also really, really love Vixen silicone. It’s some of the softest silicone I’ve come across, but still has enough firmness to keep its form. I now have three things in Vixen silicone just because I love its texture so much. I haven’t tried Vixskin and definitely want to, but for the moment I’m totally happy with the original silicone.
The Astrovibe is definitely big, or at least bigger than I’m used to in toys. It’s around 6 inches around (circumference) at its widest point. That’s not any bigger than my partner, but since it’s silicone and not human it obviously feels a little more intense. Because of its size and the angle of the toy I did encounter a slight problem.
I usually don’t have any issues with toys hitting my cervix in an uncomfortable way. Maybe it’s just my anatomy or maybe it’s that my luck has run out, but with the Astrovibe inserted most of the way (3/4 or so) it really hits my cervix in a painful way. Past discomfort and into pain territory. This doesn’t stop me from recommending it for people to try, however, as everyone’s anatomy is different and the Astrovibe does have a lot of redeeming qualities. Some of which are,
1) It’s huge and lime green, so if you’re a size queen who is bored with black or flesh-colored dildos, the Astrovibe is your man for the job.
2) It’s silicone, so it’s 100% sterilizable. If you’re sharing with a partner this is an important point to consider.
3) It has subtle ridges, so most people (minus the texture whores out there) are sure to be satisfied with the approachable amount of texture.
4) The head is curved, so you can achieve a decent amount of g-spot stimulation from this as long as it’s not inserted too deep (then it’s cervix bumping time).
5) Did I mention it’s lime green?
I’m going to keep trying with the Astrovibe and hopefully my anatomy will learn to accept it. It’s way too cool to put up for swap and I am in love with the color so much that sometimes I just have it sitting out to say, “Yep, I’ve got a lime green dildo.”
As I said, since there are so many positive reviews and mine isn’t fully negative, I would recommend the Astrovibe to anyone, but I’m probably biased because of my insane obsession with the color green.
