Review: The Ruby Glow

Thanks to the lovely people of TheRocksOff and thanks to the lovely Tabitha Rayne, I was able to review the Ruby Glow.

At Eroticon I already had a quick peek at the Ruby Glow and it had made me quite curious about it. Because for me, clitoral stimulation is the way to go for orgasms. So this definitely seemed like the toy to try out. I’m not the easiest when it comes to orgasms so one more potential way seemed like a good idea.

So taking it out of the box, I immediately tried it on and tried pushing buttons at random. There are two buttons on there, one for every separate motor that is in there. Of course just randomly pushing buttons, you might end up making music with the Ruby Glow. It can do a march quite handsomely. So yes the Ruby Glow definitely has rhythm. So with the two separate motors, you can decide what you want while sitting on it.

First step: Trying to figure out how to sit on it. Because you know, for science, I of course tried it the way it isn’t intended for as well. As well with and without a pillow under it. And of course with a hard chair and a soft one. Because, of course,  I need to test it properly under all circumstances. You know… for science! Also still works as a regular toy laying down or standing up, it’s just more of a hassle because you have to hold it. And in my opinion, it’s better with a hard surface underneath you. That way, if you get the right position and spot, it’s not instantly gone if you move.

Playing with the various settings, and with lots of shifting back and forth on it. It definitely works for me in terms of it actually is arousing and hitting the right spots. It does take some practice and some trying out with all the different settings what works for you. Personally I found the clitoris stimulation part a bit hard and I couldn’t find a good spot for it to work for me. The other part I found quite nice and stimulating. Especially just sitting with that part between my legs did the trick for getting enough stimuli.

A few of the patterns cracked me up though, one sounds exactly like your phone going off while on silent with vibration on. I managed to get a tango out of it. Almost got something like it sounding like it’s saying help. So yes, it has some interesting features and rhythms to work with, both along with a continuous vibration and a steady flow of vibrations.

The controls are quite easy to handle with only two buttons. You just have to keep clicking to rotate the pattern and if you want to shut it off, just press and hold the button for a bit. A good feature is that, because of the two separate motors, you can also just only use one of them.

The vibration was also more intense and harder than I would expect and certainly sufficient for proper stimulation. The material was also softer and more smooth than I expected. It does have a funny smell when it comes out of the box, but that’s not uncommon with new toys.

I personally prefer using clitoral toys with at least one layer of clothing, because it can get quite intense and sensitive with direct contact. The vibrations of the Ruby Glow are strong enough to make up for that extra layer and it feels quite nice as well. Because of the smoothness, you can easily slide back and forth on it while not getting friction.

For me, it didn’t do the trick though. It was nice but for me the clitoral part was too rigid and hard. I do like that the fact you have to sit on it and if you do, it’s quite comfortable. And yes obviously, part of this review is written while actually sitting on it. It does make a nice distraction or motivator. It’s all good vibrations!

So in short:

  • Good, good vibrations! The two separate motors are easy to match.
  • Body safe silicone, easy to clean and splash safe.
  • Well designed and long battery life (takes two AAA batteries)
  • Sitting on it and hitting the right place takes some practice
  • Some movements may feel uncomfortable and hard while sitting on it if you shift or flinch a little when it hits the right spot.

Review: She Makes The Rules

smtr_cover_sm

 

When I heard about She Makes The Rules (SMTH) and that it was all about Female Led Relationships (FLR) I was really curious about reading it because it is something that interests me greatly.

When I first saw the index of what was contained in this book, I already got excited. Lots of fun things and lots of information, my favorite! The writing style is also very fun and it is good to read.

I had lots of giggles on numerous occasions and if you take your time reading all the footnotes you will definitely find some funny things in there.

The set up of the book is quite simple but very informative. It is both good for people who don’t know much about the subject, and those already more knowledgeable.

The book treats the different kinds of FLR there are and debunks some myths about them along the way. There is quite a bit of information you can use to make a existing relationship work better or to carefully start one.

Everything is written very clearly and it is very good to read. One of the things that is very recognizable is are the unofficial FLR relationships. FLR is everywhere, even when you might not realize it. Who knows, you might be in one and not have realized it!

Regarding a lot of topics and for me already basic things I agree with Nookie. For instance about how important trust and communication are. These are for me very logical things but might not be as self explanatory if you are just starting out.

Reading it definitely gave me some new insights, tips, tools and handles on how I would like to have a FLR. Very recommendable for beginners to the subject but also for those who are not so new anymore. There are plenty of different things you can pick up or who knows, you might get some good inspiration for naughty, naughty things. I know I did. 😉

You can go over to Nookie her site and have a look yourself what kind of interesting things topics will be discussed, enjoy!

Review: Doxy Massager

At Eroticon I got my hands on a wonderful Doxy massager and I must say I couldn’t wait to get home and find out if it can make me orgasm or not.

The Doxy is made in the UK and lucky for me they also make them with an EU socket so I didn’t have to worry about sockets and such. My first impression after seeing it in person was: ‘ wow that thing is huge.’ Yes really. I have an eroscillator and next to it, it looks enormous. It comes in a nice cardboard box that fits it nicely and makes you think it is even bigger. But it’s not all about size. With the Doxy it is all about vibrations and very strong ones that is. With tested it a few times and I must say after the Doxy, my regular go to toy seems awfully weak. Make sure if you use it, it’s the last thing you want to use because everything else will seem weak.

The Doxy has three buttons on it and it is easy to navigate them. Next to the low to high settings there also is a pulse setting what you can use and you can also vary that with the plus and minus buttons just like you can adjust the strength in the normal settings.

When I tried the pulse setting, I liked it but it can get too much when it peaks. The pulse you can set in how quick it pulses but it always goes to the highest setting at the peak of the pulse.

A good thing about the Doxy is that you don’t have to worry about batteries because you can just plug it in and the very long cord will give you plenty of range.

The head of the Doxy is made of a material the feels nice and when dry it gives you a nice amount of friction. I have only used it through my panties because I like to have that friction and it is nice to not have the vibrations directly on your clit. You can also use it directly through clothing because it certainly is strong enough to still get the desired effect.

The downside of the head is, if you want to travel with the Doxy, you need to be careful with it and wrap it properly. It would have been perfect if there was a cap for it because it gets easily marked if you travel with it. And the cardboard box it comes in is quite bulky and not really ideal to travel with.

The other thing that can be a downside of the Doxy is the noise. It certainly is not ideal you want to be discreet and you have the Doxy on high. It makes quite a bit of noise, especially if it touches something else then your body. For me for instance, the matras resonates quite a bit and it can be heard in the next room even with it on low. Of course this is due to having so much power, if it’s stronger, it is bound to be more noisey.

After *thoroughly* testing the Doxy, I can say it is one of the very few toys that can make me come and currently resides in my collection of two go-to toys when I’m masturbating. And that is a good thing because a lot of toys can get uncomfortable really quickly. Especially when you masturbate grinding into the toy. So yes, I love it and definitely a keeper!

Sinful Sunday: Love bites

This Sinful Sunday is all about Love Bites, I got these from the lovely Miss Serene and I must say that I quite like them.
They look like normal wooly gloves ( normal vampire gloves also come in leather and by the looks of those they are equally fun) so you can even wear them outdoors 😉
So far I’ve only tried them on myself but I can imagine it being more fun if somebody else were to use them on you. They feel quite nice on your skin and if you haven’t tried it already, you certainly should!
Because the pins aren’t just on the fingers but also on the palm you can get yourself in a whole lot of trouble with them 😉
