Review: Tantus Goddess
Dec 20th
Picking a toy for my first review for Vibrator.com was a hard choice. There are so many good things out there. But, I decided to stay to something tried and true – Tantus silicone. I ended up getting the Tantus Goddess for review and I will say I’m not disappointed.
For those of you that haven’t heard of Tantus, then you’re missing out. Tantus makes only 100% premium silicone toys and they manufacture right here in the United States. They hand-pour every single toy and lovingly etch the name “Tantus” by hand on the base. Each toy is unique because no toy will have the exact same marble pattern from when the silicone was poured or the exact same etching on the base. To top that off, Tantus silicone is some of the best out there. It’s not matte and velvety like some, but it’s slick and firm which is how a nice silicone should be. It has just enough give to be comfortable while it’s firm enough to hold its shape.
The Tantus Goddess is one of the many amazing vibrators that Tantus offers. Tantus vibrators are made up of a 100% silicone dildo which has an opening in the base to insert a bullet vibrator. Tantus sends a moderately strong silver bullet for this purpose, but if you happen to have a favorite bullet vibrator that you’d rather use in the base (RO-80MM, anyone?) then it should fit as long as it’s not thicker than a standard silver bullet.
The Goddess is also harness-compatible because of the flared base. However, the flare is small, so you will need to find an appropriate sized o-ring in order to use the Goddess securely in the harness of your choice. Also because of the flare the Goddess can be used anally. If you plan to use it anally make sure you’re comfortable with texture in your anal toys since the Goddess is completely full of it. This is definitely not a toy to be used anally by someone who is new to anal play.
Since I’m not too advanced in anal play and don’t want texture anally, I only used this toy vaginally. Vaginally the Goddess shines. The texture can be felt on every inch of the toy. And I. love. texture. If you’re a fellow texture lover, or even texture whore like some – this toy is going to become one of your best friends. However, if you’re not sure if you like texture this would be a great halfway point. It’s not the Tantus Silk, but it’s also not as textured as something like the Tantus Echo.
When you want to clean the Goddess just wipe down the bullet with a toy wipe or a little soap and warm water on a cloth. To clean the dildo itself, you can either wash it with mild soap and water, boil it on the stove or run it through the dishwasher without soap in the top rack.
I usually prefer to remove the bullet and use it on my clit while using the Goddess as a dildo, but this is because internal vibrations I’ve found don’t really do much for me. I much prefer a nice, steady thrusting motion and pressure applied to my g-spot. What I’m getting at is no matter if you like vibration internally or not, need clit stimulation or not, whatever you may need – the Tantus Goddess can probably provide it.

Review: Blacklight Beauty
Nov 17th
When I saw the cover of Blacklight Beauty I was immediately drawn in and thought, “I have to have that.” Unlike some covers that have a random blonde girl on the cover showing you her pussy, Blacklight Beauty’s cover is stylish and almost puts you in an erotic trance even though the film hasn’t even started.
The beginning of the film starts out kind of slow for my tastes, but I’ve never been one for teasing and looking at the performers in clothing before the scene. I’m more into wall-to-wall sex in my porn. But if you like a nice tease beforehand, you’ll really enjoy the beginning of the scenes. After that it quickly improves with hot scenes and one of the best porn soundtracks I have ever heard. I’m usually not a fan of music in my porn, but if it has to be there, this is the music it should be. It doesn’t take away from the scene at all, but rather, it enhances the mood of the film.
Sitting through all 10 scenes (yes, 10) was neither challenging nor a chore, but I did find one of the latter scenes, which includes clown sex, to not be my cup of tea. If the performer had not been wearing the clown mask however, it may have been one of my favorite scenes. I’ve decided not to do a breakdown scene by scene as covering all 10 would be a bit challenging and also probably put you to sleep. However, I will list some of the best scenes with a short description of why.
1) James Deen and Riley Mason: I may like this scene the best overall since it’s the one I usually watch first, or sometimes it’s the only one I watch. It has no music, which for me is a plus because you get to hear the actors’ voices more clearly. But mainly, let’s face it, James is hot for a porn guy and Riley is adorable as hell. She also has on fun purple PVC boots with black stars on them.
2) Joanna Angel and the Clown Guy: Yes, there’s a clown. Yes, it’s creepy. But I like Joanna so much that I don’t really care. You can tell she’s into what she’s doing and that for me makes any scene so much better.
3) Allie Sin and two random guys: I usually hate blowjob scenes, but this one is an exception. The trance-like music gives it a more artistic appeal than a traditional mainstream blowjob scene.
Although the style of the film is unique, I could see some getting annoyed with the constant color-tinting (ex. A scene will look entirely washed in purple or green, etc.) and flashing to black & white and back again. While this annoyed me a little bit at times, mostly it was just entertaining and helped Blacklight Beauty to stand out from some other films I have seen.
Attention blowjob lovers: This film is full of them. And I do mean full. There are blowjobs in almost every scene and a couple that only feature and actresses sucking multiple guys’ cocks at once. And oddly, I like them. One scene is shot with Faith and multiple men only lit by a flashlight. While it doesn’t give that highly-produced feel some like, it does make you feel more like you are there or that the scene could have actually happened.
This film was very hard to review, but in closing, if you like alternative porn and are up for a trance-like soundtrack give this one a try. The cast is great and it will definitely break you out of the mainstream porn rut.

Review: Hathor Body Exotic Love Oil
Oct 14th
Exotic Love Oil is made by Hathor Body, a Canadian company run by a mother and daughter duo who have a passion for aromatherapy, herbology and massage. Upon receiving the Exotic Love Oil for review, I decided to do some more investigation about Hathor Body as I had not heard of the company before. Their entire line consists of lubricants, lotions, oil and lickable products. All of their products are formulated with natural and vegan ingredients. They also pride themselves in using organic ingredients when possible.
I was very excited to open and smell the oil as the ingredients really sounded wonderful. The oil base is pecan, which I found interesting since most nut-based massage oils are based in almond. The essential oils are ylang ylang, cedarwood, geranium, cinnamon and ginger, as well as a healthy dose of vitamin E to make your skin soft (and to minimize scars if you happen to have any!). Well, wanting to smell it was the right thing, because it smells heavenly! It’s very earthy and even a bit herbal, but with a hint of spice from the cinnamon and ginger. If you like natural smelling products rather than products with artificial scents (think green apple and strawberry) this is totally the product for you. Imagine walking into a marketplace somewhere in Asia and smelling all of the spices, wooden handcrafted bowls and fresh flowers for sale. Now imagine that scent all compacted into a 4 ounce bottle – yeah, it’s pretty fabulous.
The packaging of the bottle itself is minimalist, but I like it. It’s a basic apothecary deep blue glass bottle with a black screw on cap and the golden label common to all Hathor Body products. It lists the ingredients as well as touts the skin smoothing benefits of the oil. At the bottom of the bottle is also the tagline “All we need is love.” I personally think they should change it to “All we need is love and 100,000 bottles of Exotic Love Oil.”
And now the good stuff! We decided to put the oil to use and my boyfriend gave me a massage after my long day in classes. He used about a teaspoon of the oil for my entire body. He did mention to me afterwards that he thinks he could use less and it would work just as well, so that is something to keep in mind. It smoothed on like silk and made his hands glide gracefully all over my body. The smell instantly filled the room and made me relax even more. The oil stayed slick and never greasy through the entire 45 minute massage. I felt pampered instead of like a squeaky door hinge smothered in WD-40, which some oils in the past have done to me. The oil absorbed into my skin by the end and left it soft and smooth. I didn’t have to shower at all and my boyfriend didn’t have to wash his hands off. I’m currently sitting here and touching my back constantly to feel how smooth and moisturized it feels! I also still smell like a heavenly, spice filled paradise. A massage with this oil works better than any moisturizer I have tried, and trust me, I’ve tried a ton.
I couldn’t recommend this product more. It’s amazing and definitely worth the price. If you don’t have this in your cart on EdenFantasys yet, you’re making a big mistake.
Review: Fun Factory Smartballs Teneo Uno
Oct 13th
I’ve been putting off writing this review for quite a while because there are so many reviews on vaginal balls and I’m just not sure what to say. Also, being my first kegel exerciser, I’m not experienced enough to provide the insight that some reviewers have. Nevertheless, I’ve decided to review them and give you my opinion, however inexperienced it may be.
I had been looking for kegel exercisers for quite some time because my pelvic floor muscles are exceptionally weak. I can’t flex and hold them for any time at all, not to mention the 3 grueling seconds mentioned in many kegel exercise regimens. I chose the Fun Factory Smartballs teneouno for a variety of reasons. Firstly, they’re silicone, so they’re superior to the old Smartballs and other vaginal ball exercisers. I like that they can be sanitized, although since it’s just me using them, I doubt this will be something I’ll do. Secondly, in the teneouno there is just one vaginal ball. I’d heard that the original balls were too long for some people’s anatomy; I wasn’t sure if my anatomy was shorter, but I wasn’t going to take a chance on buying something I potentially couldn’t use.
Upon insertion they’re pretty damn comfortable. My vagina didn’t start bitching about something not being right in there, so I’m taking that as a good sign. It actually is just like when I put in my Diva Cup, comfortable as hell and I can barely feel it. However, the not feeling it really is also the part I’m disappointed in.
Smartballs are meant to be stimulating, at least mildly, while being worn and walking around. The teneouno, although very nice, is not very stimulating at all. I wasn’t expecting it to be like having a Hitachi in my vagina, but I wanted them to be felt. I’m assuming the teneoduo or the original Smartballs would have more of this effect.
Removal is something with which beginning users may have trouble. Although there is a silicone retrieval string, it is very thin and I am afraid putting too much pressure on it may cause it to snap. Therefore, it’s best to bear down and push the ball out of your vagina until you can get a grip on the base of the strings to help it out. This should sound very familiar is you use a Diva Cup or any menstrual cup – they all have to be pushed out slightly with the vaginal muscles. For those who haven’t had to do this, it’s like pooping only with your vagina instead of your ass.
I haven’t used them enough to notice any strengthening of my PC muscles, but they do give you something to clench while doing your daily kegels. Overall, I would recommend the teneouno if you are looking for some beginning vaginal balls to help you out with your kegel exercises. They’re definitely going to get some use.
Review: Sliquid Sassy
Sep 19th
Sliquid Sassy booty formula is the first anal lube I have tried, since my adventures into the world of anal play are only just now beginning. I had tried Sliquid Silver before and liked it enough that I wanted to look at more Sliquid lubes. I’m very glad I did!
Sliquid Sassy is a thick, gel-like water-based lube that stays where it is put. It comes in a 4oz. bottle that is a great size, but if you want to take it on the airplane with you, you would need to put it into a smaller bottle since the airlines currently only allows 3oz. bottles on aircraft. I plan on taking it to Spain next summer to continue my anal adventures, so I’ll be putting it in a new bottle. I’ll be there for 3 months and can’t survive without good lube!
The flip top on the bottle works well. It is easy to dispense from, yet keeps too much from coming out at once. This way you won’t be swimming in lube when you just want a little spot. It also won’t pop open at an inopportune moment, so your bag won’t be dripping lube when you’re having dinner with your parents!
I have used Sliquid Sassy both anally and vaginally and I have to say it stands up very well for both uses. One of the greatest things is that you don’t have to worry about yeast infections or any sort of burning sensation when using it because it is glycerin, paraben and petro-chemical free! It provides a great moisturizing feel when used both anally and vaginally.
You won’t have to reapply every 3 minutes because this lube is built to last. I first used it when using my Fun Factory Bootie plug and during a 35 minute time of having it in, never felt like it was drying up or becoming uncomfortable in any way. Also, used vaginally it rivaled the lasting time of silicone lubricant, but without the problems I seem to have with silicone (it builds up in my vagina & tries to camp out for days).
I would definitely recommend Sliquid Sassy for anyone who wants a good lube that lasts and is free of infection and irritation causing nasties. You can get your own bottle over at EdenFantasys!
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!
