Top Toy Round-Up 2014 – Part Three: … and the Rest

I had originally planned this to be a post where I talked about the best vibrators that have wowed and rocked my world – but I realised that actually, I haven’t reviewed or used nearly as many vibrators as I thought I had – and I even though I could recommend all of them, it kind of defeats the point of choosing my ‘top picks’. So instead, I’ve chosen to list my final ‘Top Picks’ here.

Hopefully, by this time next year, I will have much more to choose from when creating my shortlists! I also have decided that I may end up going ‘off blog’ and referring to reviews I have hosted on Lovehoney – so whilst some of the choices on my list haven’t been included on the blog, they have indeed been used and rated – I will link to the external review where applicable. So without further ado, let’s get this ‘wrapped’ up…

Top Prostate Massager

L’Amourose Rosa Extra Quiet G-Spot and P-Spot Rechargeable Vibrator

Score: 10 out of 10

RRP: £129.99

Material: Silicone/ABS Plastic

Special Requirements: N/A

The choice for my top prostate massager was actually surprisingly difficult, as there were 2 battling out for supremacy – in fact, I did an article a little while back comparing the 2 as a lot of people were asking me what the best one was. After all considerations, I decided that the Rosa would indeed be my top pick for 2014. The reason? Well firstly, in terms of look and style – it’s really second to none. The whole thing just looks and feels gorgeous (and it’s packaged so beautifully too!). It’s also amazingly powerful – if you want it to be. The independent motors can provide gentle to intense stimulation. It just really ticks all my boxes and so much more.

Top Bullet Vibrator 

We-Vibe Tango

Score: 10 out of 10

Price: On it’s own, £69.99 / Pleasure Mate Collection: £104.99

Materials: ABS Plastic / Silicone (Pleasure Mate Collection)

Special Requirements: N/A

I may not have given the Pleasure Mate Collection the best review, but I really cannot fault the We-Vibe Tango Bullet on it’s own. I have never, in my life, experienced anything quite like the vibrations that the Tango can kick out, especially in something so incredibly small! In fact, I’ve spoken to lots of people (ladies mainly) who have expressed it’s the best bullet vibrator they have ever used – and I’m here to say us blokes can get a lot of pleasure from it too! On it’s own, it’s fantastic at stimulating the frenulum and perineum (just remember to use LOTS of lube!). But also, the Tango helped a lot of my other bullet operated toys find new life – I have a few toys powered by the Rocks-Off 80mm bullet and the Lovehoney Bionic Bullet – the Tango kicks their butts in terms of power and have made what were previously sub-par toys become something much more exciting.

Top Cleanliness Product

Bathmate Hydrodouche Advanced Shower System

Score: 8 out of 10

RRP: £99.99

Materials: ABS Plastic / Silicone

Special Requirements: N/A

OK – hear me out. I know this is the only douche that I have physically reviewed on the blog, but I do own another regular ‘bulb’ style douche and I have to say, this one does indeed take the cake. The reason? Well personally, I just think it’s much more hygienic than the bulb douche – with a regular bulb, you always have the possibility of sucking up ‘dirty’ water back into the bulb, and then you have to clean it all out before you use it again. The Hydrodouche is a continuous stream of water, and you can incorporate it into your regular shower routine (should you choose too). I haven’t used a product that has left me feeling so thoroughly clean with little effort – although I will say, getting it all ready is a bit of a ball ache, but once it’s all done and you start using it, it’s worth the hassle!

Top Romance Product

Monogamy: A Hot Affair Board Game

Score: 7 out of 10

RRP: £24.99

Special Requirements: You will need some light nibbles, plenty of wine, possibly a few sex toys…

OK, so a random choice for ‘romance’ but I think it works. If you set the right atmosphere, not only can this be incredibly romantic, it can also be hilarious, sexy, weird and wonderful. When we took this away with us on holiday, I honestly didn’t expect much – and despite over-coming a few issues with some of the question and tasks, it was great to not only re-connect with my husband on an intimate level, but also on a more intellectual and spiritual level as we learnt new things about each other, even after being together for over 10 years. It also led to some incredibly sensual and passionate sex, and that’s what’s important, right? The game also continues even after playing as you explore different fantasy scenarios and tasks that have to be completed long after the game has been packed away.

Well that’s it for this year. Next years top picks will be SO MUCH BETTER! I’ll have a whole years worth of products to choose from! But we’ve all got to start somewhere, right?

Until next year…
