Review: Lovehoney Lifelike 8 Inch Realistic Vibrator

The Lovehoney Lifelike 8 Inch Realistic Vibrator

Packaging

The lovehoney lifelike 8 inch realistic vibrator packaging is a very basic white box, with a simple yet tasteful design and a moulded plastic sleeve inserted inside that holds the toy in place, suitable for its purpose but not very discrete given the vibrator is pictured on the front in full view of anyone who may come into contact with it so therefore it's not ideal if you have curious children that like to explore your room contents (awkward questions will follow on discovery of this one). A storage bag would have been nice along with this for me personally as I do have prying eyes in the house and the packaging can be a little fiddly and bulky for long term storage purposes but you can always purchase one separately on the site when you buy this if you wish to do so.

Product description/features

This is a wired vibrator that comes with its own remote that can be unplugged after each use, which I find is always a bonus as a lot of the old style wired vibrators tended to brake quite easily due to the wires working loose.

The title of this toy however is a little misleading stating it is 8 inches, please note that this in not in reference to its actual insertable length it is referring to its overall length, there are actually only 6 inches of insertable length on this vibrators shaft.

It has a flexible suction cup base which makes it suitable for hands free play or even with the use of a strap-on harness.

 It's easy to use and operate with the remote that attaches via a wire to the base of the vibrator, just push the button to switch on and keep pressing to skip through the various speed and pulse settings, to switch off just press and hold the button until it switches off. It has 10 functions, 3 speeds that vary from light vibrations to high and 7 alternate trembling, pulse pattern vibrations.

Summary

This toy is very well designed and has a lot more to offer other than just its length and generous girth, the contoured head, veined shaft and realistic materials really do feel amazing a long with the varying speeds and pulse pattern functions it provides. It is extremely quiet given the power that this packs, the vibrations are good an strong and there is a great variety of speeds and pulse patterns to chose from, so there is a combination to suit any mood.

The button on the remote lights up and flashes in time with the setting you are currently using which makes it easier to judge which setting you are on at the time.

I really like the suction cup base on this one, I have had others in the past that just wouldn't stay put, but the way this is designed it sticks to many different smooth hard surfaces and holds for as long as you need it too. It's firm yet very flexible, it flex's and moves with you as you use it without coming unstuck whichever position you chose to use it in. when your done just pop a finger under the bottom rim to pop it up and remove it from its surface.

For extra intense fun hand the remote to your partner to allow them to tease you with random various speeds and patterns so you won't know what your getting next, after all us women do love a little anticipation don't we? I know I do!

There really isn't much I can fault on this vibrator, I just love everything about it and the price is very low considering the quality of the toy.

One of the most realistic feeling types of this toy I have tried to date, it feels incredibly real.

Pros:

Length, girth, powerful vibrations, multispeed, veined texture, detachable remote, realistic feel, flexibility, suction cup base, affordable, easy to clean.

Cons:

There is only 6 inches of insertable length so its title is a little misleading! A thicker more durable wire would be better to prolong its life span.


Materials: Skin safe rubber (no latex or phthalates)
Size: 8.75" total length, 6" insertable length,
Battery: 2 AAA batteries (not included)

Review: Tracey Cox Supersex Remote Control Love Egg

Tracey Cox Supersex Remote Control Love Egg Vibrator

Packaging

The supersex love egg arrives packaged in a small, discrete, simple but well designed box as you would expect from the Tracey Cox range (pictured above). It is not immediately obvious to the untrained eye what the box contains, which is what I like about this packaging in regards to long term storage purposes as it does not arrive with its own storage pouch. If like me you have a child/children that like to explore your bedroom contents this is ideal (no awkward questions from curious little ones). This is also easy to disguise with a little wrapping paper or gift bag if you're buying this as a gift for your partner.

Contents inside: 1 love egg, 1 remote, batteries.

Product description/features

The egg and remote are designed with a very stylish black and chrome finish making it very pleasing to the eye and it is made from plastic so it's ridged with a smooth covering that is silky to the touch.

The egg itself is just the right size to fit snugly inside you and is easily inserted and removed via the attached cord, the remote is simple to use also with just two buttons (clearly labelled as you can see in the picture above), one to turn the power on and off and the other to skip through its seven speeds and pulse patterns.

Summary

I have been wanting to give one of these love eggs ago for quite sometime and when this was put on offer on the lovehoney website I just had to give this a go!

Myself and my partner were very keen to try this out and did so upon its arrival, we were hoping after testing this out in the bedroom that we might be able to use it elsewhere as a little bit of private fun between the two of us when we were out and about in public or in a restaurant etc.. but sadly, it is just not suitable for that purpose due to how loud it is and it is pretty loud! not at all what we were expecting and certainly not discrete enough to be used in a public place, although sufficient enough for private bedroom fun.

Given how noisy this is I was expecting the vibrations to be quite powerful but sadly that just isn't the case. There is not much power in the vibrations at all, even on the highest setting and they really didn't do anything for me, the range for the remote is very limited as well.

This is not a toy I would recommend, I feel it is over priced and over rated and I could not relate to the hype given in previous reviews of this product. 

Of course it could just be that this type of toy is just not to my taste and could very well bring others pleasure but I feel I wasted my money on this one and I am relieved I did not pay the full price for it.

Given my experience with this product I would be very reluctant to purchase anything similar in the future as I was so disappointed by this one. However, having said that I would be happy for other manufacturers of similar products to prove to me that this is not always the case and that their products are much better designed for their purpose.

Pros:

Stylish design, remote, release cord, easy to clean.

Cons:

Noisy, lack of power, remote range.

Materials: Smooth coated plastic (no latex or phthalates)
Size: 3" x 4.5"
Battery: 1 x 23A battery, 2 x N batteries (included)
Retail Price: £34.99

Availability: Purchase from the Lovehoney website

Review: Cupids G-Spot Smoothie Vibrator

Cupids G-Spot Smoothie Vibrator

Packaging

The cupids G-spot smoothie arrives in blister type plastic packaging with a card board sleeve inserted inside with the usual information and instructions printed on it, nothing special and not ideal for long term storage purposes.

Product description/features

The G-spot smoothie is a 5 speed vibrator with 2 speeds and 3 pulse patterns to chose from. It has a smooth C shaped curve to its shaft, which makes it ideal for precision G-spot stimulation. It is made from plastic and is totally ridged but coated in a smooth silky coating that make it smooth to the touch.

This toy is designed to be gently rocked against your front wall for intense stimulation directly to the G-spot.

To turn on the toy just press the button on the front of the handle and keep pushing to skip through the 5 speeds and pulse settings, to turn off just press and hold the button until it shuts off.

Summary

Admittedly I only purchased the G-spot smoothie after reading the reviews from women who stated it made them squirt and as I myself was already trying out a variety of toys to achieve this, I thought what the hell and bought one.

This toy certainly did not disappoint me, it had me gushing within a few minutes the first time I used it, although it does have its flaws which I will go into shortly.

At first glance the toy doesn't appear to be anything special at all but the way it is designed with its smooth angled curve and bulbous tip makes it perfect for precision G-spot stimulation, I also liked the stumpy handle its just the right size and shape to hold comfortably in the palm of my hand and the power button is within easy reach to skip through the speeds and pulse patterns until I find the one I need to get the job done.

Although this toy achieved its purpose for me I was a little let down by the quality of the packaging and the toy itself, which made it look and feel like a poor quality product. The description I gave of the packaging at the beginning of this review explains itself so now for the toy, as I said I loved the design of the shape of it overall but the battery compartment was very tricky to open and close, It's so tight it actually hurts your hands and fingers trying to open or close it and this is what turns me off about this particular toy.

This is an ideal affordable tester model if you want to try it out to see what it is capable of but there are better quality toys of this type out there and personally I would spend a little extra just to get a better quality model with easier to use features.

Overall this is a great little toy, it's just a shame they cut corners on the design and quality.

Pros:

Affordable, shape, power

Cons:

Not waterproof, stiff battery compartment, appearance it looks like a poor quality product.

Materials: Smooth coated plastic (contains no latex or phthalates)
Size: 7" total length 6" insertable length 4" circumference
Battery: 2 x AAA batteries (not included)
Retail Price: £14.99

Availability: Purchase from the Lovehoney website.

Review: Ann Summers Glitterati Vibrator

The Glitterati Vibrator From Ann Summers

Packaging

It has been a while since I purchased this vibrator and I store mine in a pouch (not included with this item) but if I remember rightly it came boxed nothing fancy but effect for the purpose not something you could use practically for long term storage purposes but it did its job.

Product description/features

I purchased my glitterati in black with red stones around the base (as in the picture above) not the red with clear stones featured in the picture but they do not appear to sell the black any longer, it is now only available in red.

The glitterati is designed with an ample length of 18cm and a good sized girth for the shaft which is waved or ridged for added sensation. It has a twist base for operation of the multispeeds which get more intense the more you twist, the vibrations themselves are a little hard to explain they are more of a slow throb or rumble rather than the usual vibration sensations you get with other models but that's what makes this one stand out from the rest.

Summary

I loved the smooth feel of this vibrator and it glides over the skin very easily without having to use any oil or lubrication for use on other body parts if you intend to use it for multiple purposes this is always an added bonus but of course lubrication is needed when using it internally.

I was surprised how light this was until I inserted the batteries which makes the toy pretty heavy but I didn't let that put me off as it doesn't effect its real purpose. I turned it on starting with the lowest setting as I tested the vibrations on various body parts such as my nipples and clitoris before sliding it inside me and the vibrations although quite slow felt like a deep throb rather than the usual rush of vibration you get from other models and it was nice, once inside I turned up the dial (which I found to be quite tight to turn and rather fiddly if you get lube on your fingers) but once I managed it I was again surprised at just how powerful the dull throbbing is on full power to me it felt really nice you can feel it like an echo through your entire lower half and with the added sensations you get from the ridged shaft it was quite a treat, it wasn't like anything else I had tried before so it was nice to have something different than the norm.

Now I don't think this is a vibrator for everyone I think this is more attuned to those who like more length, like to feel fuller are a little more power hungry like myself and enjoy the stronger vibrations and so I would only recommend you try this if you think that you would enjoy that, if your a beginner I would opt for something more practical like a clitoris stimulator or rabbit vibrator before you attempt this one.

This is not a vibe I am crazy about or that I use all the time its something I have to be in the mood for but a welcome addition for me none the less.

Pros:

Strong throbbing vibrations, Length, Girth, quiet, appearance, ridges, easy to clean.

Cons:

Fiddly tight twist base operation, heavy when batteries are inserted, not waterproof.

Materials: Silicone, plastic
Size: 180mm x 32mm (at widest points)
Battery: 2 x C 1.5 volt batteries (not included)
Retail Price: £22.00

Review: Death By Orgasm Vampire Bride Bullet

Death By Orgasm The Vampire Bride 10 speed Bullet Vibrator

Packaging

This bullet arrives in it's own little novelty coffin shaped tin as shown in the pictures above and below, which is great for ease of storage long term. Just open the lid and there sits your new bullet vibe just waiting to be used. 

It also arrives with the batteries inserted so all you need to do is unscrew the cap remove the plastic separating the battery from the conductor replace the cap and you're good to go!

Product description/features

This is a 10 function bullet vibrator with 3 speeds, light, medium, high and 7 various pulse patterns to choose from, it is blood red in colour keeping in with the vampire theme given its name.

It is battery powered and easily operated with a small button (as are most bullets of this type) on the top that you press once to turn it on then keep pressing to skip through the various speeds and pulse patterns, just press and hold to turn it off.

Summary

I really wasn't expecting very much from this when I first saw it and given it was at a reduced price when I bought it that only added to my scepticism but boy was I wrong! Looks can certainly be deceiving especially in this case.

This little beauty took me totally by surprise and really packs a punch in terms of power. With 10 different speeds and pulse patterns to play around with there is something for everyone to chose from unless you're like me and like a variety depending on my mood.

It's quiet, and glides around wonderfully with the help of a little lubrication and it has me climaxing within minutes, unless I chose to take my time and let the pleasure build.

This is far from what would be classed as a luxury high standard product as it is more of a novelty item but it is great value for the money you pay for it. I am surprised to see that this bullet has been discontinued and is no longer for sale, this is one of the most powerful battery operated bullets I own and is definitely my favourite so far, taking that spot from the RO 80mm ammo bullet as it has slightly more powerful vibrations and more variety of course given the RO 80mm ammo bullet has only one speed option.

Another sleek little number you can slip in your handbag and take with you wherever you go.

Pros:

Design, Length, power, multifunction, batteries last a while before needing to be replaced, affordable and good value for your money, ease of use and cleaning.

Cons:

There isn't any.

Materials: smooth coated plastic
Size: 102mm x 18mm
Battery: 2 x N size LR1 battery (included)
Retail Price: £9.99



Availability: I bought this product from the Lovehoney website but unfortunately this product has been discontinued.

Review: bswish bcute Classic Curve Vibrator

bswish bcute classic curve vibrator

Packaging

The bswish bcute curve arrives in the packaging pictured above, nothing fancy but effective and suitable for long term storage if desired, a small storage pouch is included with this product if you prefer to use that as I do.

Contents inside: 1 bcute curve vibrator, 1 storage pouch, 1 instruction booklet.

Product description/features

The bcute curve is available in three colours: purple, pink and aqua blue, I purchased the aqua blue pictured above. It is 3.9 inches in overall length with 0.8 inches of girth, it's small, simple and made from hygienic silicone materials which are nonporous and silky to the touch. 

This is a multifunction/speed vibrator with a twist base operation, it is powered by 1 AA battery which unfortunately is not included with the toy. It has a curved tip for precision play that can be used to stimulate the clitoris, nipples, head of the penis or any other erogenous zones you desire to try it out on.

Summary

Upon first inspection I really liked the colour, curved/angled tip and silky feel to this toy but sadly after trying it out it did not live up to my expectations at all, try as I might I just could not get a climax out of this toy and ended up tossing it aside out of sheer frustration to finish the job with my trusty bullet.

This vibrator is whisper quiet, you can barely hear it buzzing away at all but is totally lacking in power even on the highest setting, what a disappointment!

I don't really like twist base operating vibrators as a rule but I will overlook this small flaw if it does its job, this one didn't do anything for me at all except get me frustrated. 

Maybe it's just me as I am a little power hungry and I enjoy more powerful vibrations but this is not going to do much for you unless you are a beginner and have never experienced this type of toy before or you enjoy weaker vibrations.

Overall for me this was a waste of money given the price I paid and has just been thrown in a drawer never to see the light of day again.

I'm sorry to say I would not recommend it and if I am totally honest it has put me off purchasing anything else from bswish also.

Only gave it one star due to the design and materials.

Pros:

Other than the colour, quietness, shape and feel of the toy unfortunately I can't find anything I like about this one.

Cons:

The total lack of power makes it useless for it's purpose, twist base control function.

Materials: Silicone, ABS plastic
Size: 100mm x 20mm
Battery: 1 x AA battery (not included)
Retail Price: £15.00

I purchased my bcute curve from the ann summers website which have now understandably stopped selling this product. It is still available to buy from the bswish website for $24.99 should you require one.

Review: Rocks-Off Ltd RO 80mm Gold Ammo Bullet

The Rocks-Off RO 80mm Gold Ammo Style Bullet

Packaging

This bullet will arrive in a basic blister packet, which is just a plain black card folded in half with gold writing displaying the usual information about the toy, what it is, its functions and instructions for use, the bullet itself is inside a clear plastic blister on the front. The blister pack is not suitable for long term storage of the bullet and there is no pouch to store it in so you will have to purchase one separately unless you have a spare one laying around.

Product description/features

If you're like me and you can't live without your bullet style clitoris stimulator's then you must give this one a try. Its sleek, shiny and simple and great for a quick fix, this bullet brings me to climax within minutes. The rocks-Off Ltd website boasts that this is the most powerful battery operated single speed bullet in the world and I have to agree with them, it most certainly is.

It comes in a shiny metallic gold colour bearing the Rocks-Off logo branded into the surface of the toy. The power button is at the top of the bullet and is made of black silicone, simple to operate as it only has one speed, press down to turn on, press and hold to turn off.

Summary

You're probably thinking the same thing that I was when I realised this bullet only has one speed but don't allow that to put you off, what this bullet lacks in features it more than makes up for with power.

It arrives with the battery already inserted so all you have to do is unscrew the cap remove the small piece of paper separating the battery from the conductor screw the cap back into place and you are ready to go.

It's also pretty quiet so it won't be heard outside of the privacy of your bedroom or even the bathroom, yes! it's waterproof so you can even have a little fun in the bath of shower. It's also small enough to slip into your handbag and take it with you when you travel.

Overall this is a great little bullet, if you're hungry for power like myself then this would be a welcome addition to your collection. It makes a great solo play toy but also a fun and effective toy to use with your partner. Buy one you won't be disappointed.

I purchased mine from the ann summers website but unfortunately they seem to have stopped selling them, they are still available from the Rocks-Off Ltd website if you buy the set of three shown below.

Pros:

Its Quiet, small and discrete, powerful, waterproof, easy to use and clean.

Cons:

It only has one speed, no long term storage pouch/box.


Materials: metallic plated ABS plastic
Size: 210mm x 210mm x 35mm
Battery: 1 x N size LR1 battery (included)
Retail Price: £9.99 (box set £35.00)

Availability: Box set available from the Rocks-Off Ltd website.

Review: Rocks-Off Ltd RO-LUX 80mm Sparkling Pleasure Bullet

The Rocks-Off RO-LUX 80mm sparkling pleasure bullet vibrator

Packaging

The RO-LUX bullet arrives packaged as shown in the picture above, the packaging is practical and tastefully designed and appears much more luxurious to the eye than most other bullet styles of toy that I have encountered. Although hardly discrete to anyone who may accidentally encounter it, given the small viewing window at the front of the box displaying the toy itself, this would also be suitable for long term storage purposes should you wish to store it in its original box but if not it is also accompanied with a black and purple satin draw string pouch with the same brand logo printed on the front of it, which is always a welcome addition with any toy for easier storage in my opinion.

 

Product description/features

Upon first inspection the first thing that struck me about the RO-LUX bullet was that it's very pleasing to the eye with its foil like shimmering appearance in a lovely shade of dark purple (my favourite colour) and its textured surface for additional sensation. It boasts 7 alternate speeds and pulse patterns to play around with, so there is something to suit a variety of different preferences depending on your mood, it also has the added bonus of being waterproof so it can be used in the bath or shower if you so desire. The RO-LUX is small and discrete and would fit easily into your handbag to carry around with you when you are travelling.

It arrives with the battery already inserted so all you have to do is unscrew the cap remove the small piece of paper separating the battery from the conductor screw the cap back into place and you are ready to go.

The first thing you will notice about the RO-LUX when you first turn it on is how quiet it is compared to other bullets of this type and size. Usually when a toy lacks noise it also lacks power but this is not the case here, it still has ample power behind it despite its quietness.

To operate the bullet there is a small button on the top that you press once to turn it on and keep pressing to skip through the various speeds and pulse patterns, to turn the bullet off just press and hold the button down until it shuts off.

Speeds and pulse patterns:

1) steady light vibrations
2) steady medium vibrations
3) steady high vibrations
4) light pulse pattern
5) medium pulse pattern
6) slow to medium pulse pattern
7) fast pulse pattern

Summary

Overall after hours of playing around with the RO-LUX in various ways and clocking up many orgasms (as fast or slowly as you want them to come), this is one of the better bullet options available to date in my opinion, in fact it's one of the best battery operated bullets that I currently own or have tried and I still use it often. It is easy to operate and keep clean too which is important! This is not just a toy for the ladies it makes a great couples toy as well, it's a great addition to any ones toy collection and I would gladly purchase a replacement should mine ever stop working. 

I would recommend this bullet for anyone as it has so much to offer. There are speed and pulse patterns to suit the fussiest of toy connoisseurs and alongside the textured surface it feels simply amazing.

This would also make a terrific gift if you are looking for a little something extra to surprise your partner with.

Pros:

Size, shape, texture, features, power, design, quality, quietness, waterproof, ease of use and cleaning.

Cons:

The only fault I can find with this toy is that it sheds its colour slightly when it gets wet, although this doesn't seem to affect the appearance of the toy in anyway.
