When I saw the candy cane glass dildo on Edenfantasys I just couldn't resist. It's absolutely beautiful and I have a slight history with using candy canes as sex toys. Not actual candy canes! Putting anything containing sugar near your vagina is just asking for a yeast infection.
No, this was different, and probably not very healthy for me either. But, I was young and had no clue about phthalates or anything like that. Remember those big plastic candy canes that would have little jelly jars in them during the holidays? (I think they just put candy in them now. I haven't seen the little jelly jar ones for years.) Well, I used to use the red hook part to get off. Yes... I know I'm strange... I got rid of it two years ago when I got married, though.
So...back to the candy cane glass dildo! Upon first inspection, I was disappointed. I took it out of the packaging and looked it over. The red just isn't as vibrant. Mine doesn't have that bright red stripe. It's somewhat pale and looks like watered-down ketchup swirls. On the upside, it comes with a packet of Wet silicone-based lube and a soft, padded pouch to store it in. Pink seems odd for this, though.
For me: Personally, I like the hooked end the best. It gives me that great g-spot stimulation that I've been missing for a couple years. Using it like that, the shaft of the candy cane rubs against my clit and provides extra stimulation (It may be too smooth for some to have enough friction for clitoral stimulation. It took me a little while.).
It also looks like a candy cane cock, when I do that. For those of you who have penis envy like me, you can pretend you have your own cock and see what it feels to jack off, sort of. This pretty much works the same way if I insert the hooked end into my keister; anal stimulation and clitoral stimulation in one tug of a candy cane cock. That’s the wettest I've been in a long time.
For hubby: Both hubby and I would recommend using the hooked end for guys, since it’s good for prostate stimulation. Once I got this in him, I had to snicker a little, though. It was kind of funny seeing a slender candy cane cock under his own penis.
He hasn't really been too keen on trying anal stimulation himself. But, with the thought of having two cocks to fuck me, he agreed to try it out. So, I slipped the hooked end in his keister, and awkwardly tried to line the candy cane and my husband up so I could get them both in me. After a little while, the shaft put too much pressure on his balls. Maybe we just haven’t figured it out yet, but I wouldn’t really recommend it.
Size:
Material: Glass is very durable and non-porous. Because of this, there's no smell, taste, or danger of bacteria thriving. It also holds onto temperatures well.
Although glass is one of the safest materials, precautions should still be taken. Always wash anything that has been in the anus thoroughly before it is inserted in to the vagina. Also, always wash before sharing. If you notice any scratches or cracks in your glass sex toys, dispose of them immediately!
Also, some companies use a toxic coating to color the glass. Always make sure the coloring is in the glass and not just a coating that could chip off.
Care:
- Try not to drop it in the sink, on the floor, or on any other hard surface.
- Don't expose glass to rapid and extreme temperature changes like very cold to very hot or vice versa. If you've ever poured hot water in a cold bowl or cold water in a hot bowl, you'll know why.
- If you want your glass toy a certain temperature, put it either in warm or cool water. Never put it in the freezer or just drop it in boiling water. Place the toy in the pot while it is coming to a boil.
- Many glass sex toys come with padded pouches. Always make sure to put your glass toys back in their individual pouches.
- Clean your glass sex toys by boiling, soap and hot water, dishwasher (I wouldn't recommend it with a full load, though. You don't want things bumping into it and causing little chips, cracks, or scratches that could cause internal damage when you use the toy. Be careful!), wipe it down with rubbing alcohol, or you could wipe it down with 10% bleach (I hate the smell, though.)
Packaging: Don't have to worry about this one too much. There's a small picture of a woman clutching her breasts on the back but not enough to make me feel insecure about my own.
Pros: Great for both genders, discreet (You could probably even use it as a holiday decoration!), compatible with any lube, comes with a small packet of Wet silicone-based lube, smoothness a plus for anal insertion, you can use either end
Cons: Stripes aren't as brightly colored as in the picture, pinkish-lilac bag doesn't really fit the Christmas theme with the candy cane (a nice green, red, or white would've been more appropriate), may be too smooth and not provide enough friction for some
Summary: Aside from the candy cane not having really bright red stripes like the picture, which was a major disappointment, and the pouch having a weird color choice, I really love my first glass toy. 4/5 for the candy cane glass dildo! Merry Christmas in July everyone! (Yes, I know July is almost over... )

I remember when my hubby was still in the Navy, miles apart, the only thing to connect us was our phones. I remember the sexting and the role play. It was just like having each other there. Well, almost. And when Babeland introduced the door jam cuffs for review, I couldn't help but snap up the opportunity to bring some of our sexting escapades back to life. We used to be so wild and unihibited on the phone while sexting. Things have never been that spicy IRL. (Pardon the text-speak) Well, at least he never has been. He thinks he was a werewolf in a past life. Well, I want to see it, damnit! I want him to take control! I want him to ravage me!So what better way to encourage it then to have me bound to something? He can't expect me to do anything because I bloody well can't. That forces him to act. And act he did. ~_^
Experiment Time!: Alright, so naturally I couldn't wait to try the cuffs out before hubby got home. I mean, I have to make sure I can use them properly before I decide to spring them on him. So I popped them out of the package and went to work.
*struggling to reach* Eeeh come on!
*jumping and throwing* Dangit!
Lmao I knew it! I'm too damn short! XD
Wait...my 3” platform sandals! Wh007! That worked!
So, I finally got them over the door. If you're 5'1” or shorter, putting the cuffs up could prove somewhat difficult without help. Yeah, I'm a tiny thing.... Oh well. At least I was able to get them up by myself. I strapped my wrists into the velcro cuffs and kicked off my sandals. Tippy toes! Couldn't exactly stand normal. Then I decided to see how much weight they could hold. I lifted my feet and pulled myself up (I may be little, but I'm mighty). They held! I'm only about 95lbs, though. ^-^
Hmm....I wonder how they'd do under the bed? I pulled them down and sandwiched them between the queen size mattress and the platform that it sits on. Spread out as far as I could, my wrists barely reached them. My arms are too damn short, too! Lol XD Geez. Sometimes I hate being short. Well, anyway, they stay if you don't tug at them too much. Enough to give the illusion of being strapped to the bed. Then I figured out it would just be easier to put them both at the top of the bed. Duh... :P Why didn't I think of that before? O.o They stay better like that, too.
(Of course, strapping in on the door or the bed was no problem for my hubby since he's over 6 feet tall. Darn tall people get all the luck..)
The couple's verdict: The door jam cuffs are great to spice things up without having to put holes into everything. No assembly required! For those who are short like me, just wear some sexy shoes along with your lingerie. Makes it a lot easier to get the cuffs up yourself and it ramps up the sexy level a couple notches. Great to tease your partner to the point of begging. And the cool thing is, you can take these things anywhere! Wherever there's a little crack that you can slide them into, you can use them. We have a big trunk in the living room that we use as a coffee table. Well, you can just open the lid, stick the plastic tubes in, close the lid and there you have it; another bondage station. Wherever there's a door or lid, you can use it. Let your imagination go wild. Use the fridge door, a workbench cabinet, maybe even the washer or dryer.
Packaging: Yeah, you'll want to shred this one. Darn busty package bimbos always making me feel bad. The couple did give me an idea for a position to try with the cuffs, though.Pros: Easy to "install" and take down without leaving marks anywhere, holds at least 95lbs, velcro makes them easy to put on and take off without it being too easy to escape, great to take anywhere (vacation bondage!), and lots of fun for teasing the heck outta my hubby!
Cons: I'm so bloody short! lol No, seriously, there's not too many cons aside from the packaging. Would've been nice if there was 4 in the box instead of just two, but oh well.
Overall: Great for our first time actually using bondage. 5/5 I'd definately think about getting another pair of door jam cuffs for our ankles. ~_^

I have to say that life has been challenging for me. I've always had a high libido, and I've let my hubby talk me into things I shouldn't have let him do. I still blame myself a little for all the trash he looked at behind my back. It's been over for a year now, but it still hurts. It's still so hard to trust him. And it's still hard not to think I don't look good enough. I've always felt a little that my breasts were small, but going behind my back to look at all that stuff just made it worse. I'm pretty much obsessed now. Sad, yes, but true.
But God lets everything happen for a reason. There's always a plan no matter what you might think or how much you hurt. Telling my hubby off was the best thing I ever did for both of us. He's a better man for it. And I think I may have found my own way to spread the Word.
Through every accusation and every denial, I kept feeling worse about my body and kept pulling myself more and more into my shell. After I told him off and everything ended, I had to find a way to get back out of that shell and return to the little nympho I used to be. I had no job, still don't, and I was looking at a blog on how to make money online. I came across a post about affiliate programs and links to different companies. I saw some toy companies and thought that might be my ticket out of this shell. Well, I'm getting there. I've learned a lot and I've been trying to let people know. One of the biggest problems in the toy world is the existence of toys that contain phthalates and parabens. The other problem is disgusting packaging and the various forms of porn.
I always try to let my readers know whether or not the package has some busty bimbo or something lewd on it. I don't want my husband seeing that. I don't want that sort of temptation. I'm supposed to be the only one he lays eyes on. And it's hard going through affiliate products and not knowing what the package has on it. You pray that it's clean. Sometimes it's not. At least he's always at work when they arrive, so if it's disgusting I can shred it.
Well, God helped me stumble across something a little while ago. It's a Christian Nympho blog. All the info you need without the filth. Women aren't just supposed to put up with sex once every month to keep their hubbies happy. God doesn't want us to put up with it, God wants us to enjoy it. We're supposed to keep the fire burning and love and lust after them. Just because you have a tendency to sneak onto him and ride him in his sleep every week doesn't mean that you're not a good Christian girl. Christian girls can use toys too! There are Christian toy shops too! Can you believe it? I almost cried when I found them and I almost cried when I told my hubby. You know what he told me? "I'm happy for you, sweetie. Go out and spread the gospel!" Is that not sweet, or what? Great..I'm getting a bit teary. Can't help it...
This is my mission: I'm going to spread the word about body-friendly sex toys and I'm going to honor God doing it. For those girls who hate porn on their product packages (and I know now that I'm not the only one) I will always list if there is something nasty on the package. And, I'm going to check out these Christian toy companies and see what they're all about.
One company, Christian Love Toys, has been very nice. They state directly at the top of their page that they make sure there are no pornographic packaged toys in their store. Thank God! A company after my own heart. I told them in a thank you letter that I would just hug every one of them if I could. They're going to keep me in the loop on their company progress. I really hope I can join their affiliate program when they get one.
God said to spread the Word and be fishermen of men. I think I've finally found a way to do that in a way that I'm comfortable with. I've never been comfortable preaching to people. I always feel too pushy and I know people are put off by that. People have to come by God in their own way sometimes. I think that's why I stumbled on that Christian Nympho blog. I may be a little kinky at times..and I may use certain words sometimes..I may have strange thoughts pop in and out..I may have strange fantasies..I'm not perfect. Nobody is. We screwed that up a long time ago by eating the forbidden fruit.
And I'm sorry if this post may put some people off because it deals with my religion or because I hate porn, but that's just too bad. It's my blog and my right to say whatever I want. God gave me the gift of gab with writing, and I'm going to use it to honor God and help others. Whether you need help finding out if a product will cause cancer or make you sick, or whether you need to know if a product package is safe and porn free, you can come here and know that I try to the best of my ability to make sure that info is available and accurate.
To all the Christian nymphos out there and all the Christian toy stores, God Bless. I'm so thankful I'm not the only one who cares.

Yet another pheromone laced product to play with. I had tried the Wish pheromone candle before with no luck, so I was a bit skeptical on Silky Sheets. The fragrance, Vanilla Fields, is nice and seems to last a couple days (Doesn't seem to make me crave cake as much as the Wish candle did, though. It doesn't smell like cake, more like vanilla extract). I had sprayed it on the couch and smelled it for a day or so after each time I plopped onto the couch. Do make sure not to hold it too close to anything unless you want a powder splotch (Which can be useful for those little post-sex messes. We'll get to that later).
Experiment: 10 minutes before hubby comes home. Time to put the plan into action. Like the time with the Wish candle, I didn't really let him know what was going on. This way, it's easier to see if the pheromones are really working and it's not just in his head that he should be aroused by the candle, or spray in this case. I sprayed the couch...and then thought maybe I'll just spray the whole bloody room. lol Why not? It would be fun to have him jump me. ~_^
Results: .....nothing.... Just a, "It smells good in here. Did you bake something?". *sighs* Oy. Yeah, and I spilled vanilla extract all over the couch....No, I didn't bake anything! Seriously, I'm really starting to think he's immune to pheromones. At least the ones in the Wish candle and Silky Sheets. He seems to react to mine, but I tend to smell like onions even when I haven't eaten any. He really likes onions and garlic. Maybe that's why. But I remember him telling me when we were just dating that if I wore vanilla perfume that he wouldn't be able to keep his paws off me. I guess he's just changed.
Other Uses: Well, if your man tends to tease you and nag that you made a mess on the bed because his mess leaked out of you, Silky Sheets is a nice remedy. Just spray a little directly on the spot and the powder will soak up most of the mess in a couple seconds. The powder will still be there, but at least you won't be sleeping on a cold wet spot. Spraying it on the sheets does give a slight softness, but our sheets are already pretty soft since they're t-shirt material. Great for freshening up after a good romp. My husband and I both have strong scents and we don't need our company to know what we've been up to.
Any Residue: It did leave a slight white residue, but it seemed to leave after a couple days. Our sheets are bright red, so it shows up more than it would on light sheets. That's if you spray from a distance. If you spray it pretty close to something, you'll have a white splotch that will either need to be wiped away to get rid of it or toss it in the laundry if you haven't just done that to dry up a wet spot.
The Verdict: Since EdenFantasys won't let you give only half a point, I guess I'll have to give Silky Sheets a 5/5. I was going to give it a 4.5/5 since the only reason I'm taking anything off is because the pheromones don't work. But I guess that would seem unfair since, after trying two different products, I don't think my hubby will really react to any pheromone product.
Silky Sheets comes in 7 different fragrances: Mystical Musk, Botanical Breeze, Spring Rain, Vanilla Fields, Pear Blossom, Plumeria, and Orange Mango. I plan to try a couple more of them.

Babeland will be selecting a blogger with the most comments on their post to have a $125 Babeland gift card and one of their commentors will win a $125 gift card too! So, you know what that means, right? If you want a chance to win gift card, better get commenting on my list!
1. G Curve Dildo ($60) : What's not to love about a g-spot dildo? Plus, it's purple! I have a thing for purple dildos, ok? I blame Enzai. (Comes in purple or black)
2. We-Vibe ($130) : What looks to be the best toy for couples. Wish I had enough money to get my hands on it.
3. Penetration Station ($69) : First off, does anyone else find it funny that this is 69 dollars? ^_^ Anyway, sometimes the hubby and I have trouble getting into position. When your tiny and he's a giant, that makes a difference. And even though I'm uncomfortable with the lewd images (insecure about my boobs), this does look fun.
4. Share ($119) : Alright, so maybe I have a little penis envy. Sigmund Freud says all women do. I'm not so sure of that, but I think it does apply to me a bit. This looks fun for solo play and it's got a nice little handle for my hubby to thrust it in me with. And it comes in purple. You know how much I love that. (Also comes in pink and black)
5.Sliquid Organics 8oz. ($24.99) I've already tried one of Sliquid's products and absolutely love it! I'd love to try their lube. ^_^
6. Contour Massage Stones ($25) : The hubby and I massage each other a lot. After a while, your hands tend to get tired or maybe you just want a little deeper massage. These look great to relieve your tired hands and to give a deep massage at the same time.
7. Lover's Massage ($9.95) : Like I said, the hubby and I like to massage. It would be nice to learn some new techniques. Plus, the book looks pretty safe in a no huge boobs non-threatening kind of way.
8. The Orgasmic Diet ($13.95) : I've done a lot of research on how to eat for natural breast enlargement. It's helped a bit. If I can change my diet to have better orgasms, that would be really interesting. Herbs and nutrition are my biggest interest. Pair them with sex, what could be better?
9. Tricks To Please A Man ($13.95) : I have a man, and he needs pleasing. You're never too old to learn new tricks.
10. Beyond Cooling ($15) : I've been looking for a good cooling gel for a while now since the parabens in Good Head Gel made me sick.11. Beyond Euphoric ($15) : This sounds exciting. I wonder if it would help me climax sooner?And that brings me to a grand total of $493.86 for the whole shebang. If you want a chance at that $125 gift card, leave a a comment. The more comments, the more likely you are to win. Babeland is picking the blog post with the most comments to win!
Ok, this looked interesting and I couldn't help wanting to try it out. A vibe that buzzes to music and voices around you? Sounds fun to me!The Club Vibe comes with a velvety soft "OHMIBOD" pouch for easy and discreet transport, a black lace thong, a smooth pink bullet, and a control with lots of settings. Lots to cover. Let's go through things one-by-one, shall we? (P.S. Batteries are included!)
Carrying Pouch
Soft to the touch and easily holds all of your equipment. Great for stashing in your purse on the run, taking it on vacation, or just taking it anywhere you bloody well please. I accidentally left it on the couch and my hubby didn't even give it a second thought. He had no idea it was for a sex toy.
Black Lace ThongOne size fits most... Yeah, not when you're a bean pole. lol I'm too damn skinny! I'm usually a 4 or 5 panty, so this fits me kinda loose. No worries. You can use it with any other panties you want. Some panties have that little pouch type thing in the crotch, some don't. Didn't really matter to me. I just slipped on a pair and went to town.
Pink Bullet
The bullet for the Club Vibe is made of hard plastic and easy to clean. I just used a little rubbing alcohol and a soft paper towel....Alright, that's a lie. We didn't have rubbing alcohol, so I rubbed it down with whisky and then with a water dampened paper towel. Same concept, right? I mean, the alcohol is killing off any bacteria.
The ControllerWell, you've got 3 different settings on the side. You can set the Club Vibe to ambient for it to buzz along to the noise around you, manual to use it as a normal bullet, or you can set it to music and let it buzz along to your tunes.
Ambient - Can be controlled through a sensitivity dial on the bottom of the controller. If the vibes from the thumping club music are too much, you can just dial it down a notch. Don't expect to get any vibes from watching TV. Tried that. It won't work unless you're deaf and have the TV turned up high. Also, even with the sensitivity dial turned all the way up, it's hard to get much of a buzz just talking if you have the controller attached to your pants or panties with the clip. For some reason, when I was curled up on the couch and talking, I got a little buzz. That was only when I was curled up. If you want some vibes from talking, have the controller close to your face. (Great for naughty talk if you do, though. If you and your partner don't really do naughty talk and feel a bit awkward getting into it, this is a great way to introduce and encourage it!)
After lots of experimenting and sitting on the couch watching TV, hubby came home and shut the door loudly. A vibe went through me and I sat there waiting for him to ask what that was. He hadn't heard it! Dinner time, the plates clanking as he got them out. That felt good... And he still didn't hear it. The good thing about the Club Vibe is when it reacts to noise, it's usually loud enough to cover up the sound of the vibrator! Oh, and it's great to make chores more enjoyable. Wear it while you're doing to dishes. The clanking of plates and silverware makes the Club Vibe a great dish washing pal. Vacuuming is fun, too. ^_^ Plus, ambient is great if your partner is always slapping your behind. I get spanked a lot because apparently I don't behave.
Manual - Has 7 different vibrations. You've got the standard low, medium, high, and then some very exciting patterns. I love manual. You can select different vibrations with the "O" button and stop them with the "X" button
Music - This is really fun. The Club Vibe comes with a splitter so you can hook it up to your MP3 player and listen along at the same time. You can do this with anything that has a headphone jack. Use it on your computer or on a portable dvd player. I've used it to watch a couple things on my portable dvd player and it's great feeling the buzz from the Club Vibe every time someone says something.
Packaging: Straight to recycling. This one's got a busty gal on it. Just a warning to those who are like me, small and slightly insecure. For those of you who are wondering what the heck I'm talking about, the busty gal is on the back not shown in the picture.Pros: reacts well to most noise/ very customizable with 3 different modes, 7 different vibrations, and a sensitivity dial/ has a clip to attach to your pants, skirt, whatever/ batteries included, nice velvety pouch to carry or store everything/ phthalates-free/discreet
Cons: Doesn't react well to normal voice when on hip/ thong too big (but I'm way too skinny, so no worries for most people)
Summary: Loads of fun! Glad it's mine! 4.5/5 for the Club Vibe. I'm just taking half a point off because I can't get it to work with just talking. You really have to just talk into it. But talking into it is nice. Have your lover whisper naughty things into it. You'll not only get that thrill from them saying it, but you'll get a buzz from the Club Vibe too! I wouldn't give mine up for the world. ^_^ Use it on your guy too! Who says it's only for women? Get him a pair of briefs or something. Maybe you'd rather see him in a thong. That's your business, not mine. My point, let your guy get in on the action too!

Hey everyone!
It's time for nominations for the Sexiest Blogger awards! If you've been reading my reviews and like what you see, please do me the honor of nominating me! The rules are below, you can visit the website to nominate me here: Nominations for Sexiest Bloggers of 2009 Thank you in advance to those who nominate me! ^_^
All you have to do to nominate a sexy blogger you know is leave a comment. Here are some general rules:
1. Nominate by blog, not by blogger. Yes, this is a sexy blogger list, but if someone has two blogs that make the list, they’ll be listed with the highest rated blog. Couples who write a blog together (or groups who write a blog together) will be judged together, unless they also write other places separately.
2. No self-nominating! You can (and I hope you do) post information about this list on your website, but the point is to nominate people you love, not yourself.
3. Any sex-related blogger qualifies, as long as they aren’t doing anything illegal (like promoting kiddie porn). Gay, bi, straight, vanilla, BDSM, poly, whatever! It doesn’t have to be erotica, either. It can be sex advice, thoughts on feminism, pictures and videos, poetry, an online journal…everything goes. As long as the blogger writes about sex topics at least, say, half the time, they qualify.Blogs only, and no porn aggregation websites.
4. The blog must be active. I’ll consider it active if the blogger posted during June, unless they have announced that they’ll no longer be posting.
5. The blog should be at least a year old, but I’ll consider anyone who has been blogging since at least Jan 1, 2009. I’ll make special considerations for blogs that are new because the blogger moved or wrote elsewhere, as long as we have enough to judge.
6. If you see that someone else has already nominated a blog you like, feel free to nominate them again to show your support!
7. Please include the full name of the blog and a link to the blog so I’m sure about your nomination intentions.
8. Yes, bloggers who were nominated last year are eligible this year as well!
9. Someone asked me, so I’m adding this rule: You can nominate as many bloggers as you want. I’m hoping that most of you well edit yourselves though, sticking to maybe 5-10 at most. Remember, you should be nominating the best of the best!
I’ll keep nominations option until July 31, so start nomination and tell all your friends too! The more nominations we get, the better the list will be. I promise not to delete anything this time around.
Oh, and if you’re uncomfortable nominating people via a public comment, feel free to DM me on twitter (@SweetRori) or email me at rori@betweenmysheets.com.

So, what prompted me to get the glow-in-the-dark reversible sleeve? It glows, duh! Seriously, I love glow stuff. I've been fascinated with it ever since I was little. Well, I'm still little (5'1") but that's beside the point. :p
Material
No worries. I'd never get anything with phthalates. It's TPR silicone, and it says "phthalate-free" on the packaging. The one thing that bothers me slightly is that the package says "pleasantly scented"... O.o Ok.... So, what does that mean? What kind of stuff did they put in there to make it smell pleasant, or do they just mean it doesn't have that chemical smell of phthalates? Well, it doesn't smell like any of my other TPR silicone toys. It does have a slightly different scent to it.
Oh goody... I just found this: "If a product says it’s scented or has a "touch me" area in the box for you to stick your finger into to feel the material, it’s most likely toxic". Eheh... I wish I would've known that before. -.-;
Does it glow well?
You bet! Just make sure you've had it under a light source for a little bit and you're good to go. Glow-in-the-dark products tend to need light to charge. Not all of them do, but some. Perfect for a late night romp or even in a dark closet. ~_^
How does it fit?
Just fine. It's really stretchy, so it was no problem getting it over him. It's fine in most positions except spooning. The sleeve seemed to want to sneak off of him. The nice thing is, he couldn't bug me because I left a mess. When he cums in me and I drip, he teases me and gets on my case. This time his mess was in the sleeve, just like a condom. And the description says "add some girth". Trust me, it's not much girth.
How does it look?
Side 1 (feathery top with ribbed bottom in picture): *snickers* Like some kind of freaky alien dick.
Side 2 (dotted with small bumps not pictured): *snickers* Like a catepillar!
Hubby's Perspective
Well, he said he didn't really feel much difference. I'm wondering if that's because the sleeve was stretched kind of tight. I could see the flesh from his head through the top of the sleeve. We tried both sides and he said he really didn't feel much from either. I saw the previous reviews on this sleeve and thought it would be great for him. Didn't really live up to my expectations. Although, he does like to watch and this sleeve is great when it's dark. Glows just enough to be able to see him going in-and-out and to see me rub my clit. He loves that for some reason. The textures on both sides were soft enough not to cause any pain. Maybe the reason why he didn't feel much was because they were too soft. I don't know...
My Perspective:
Well, not much from side 2 (dotted with bumps). Side 1 (feathery top with ribbed bottom) was a little better. I could feel the ribbing going in-and-out, but I couldn't really feel the feathery part. I felt it going in. It reminded me of one of those soft spiked rubber critters you get out of claw machines. Didn't really enhance much, and it got stuck in me a couple times after he pulled out.
Packaging: No problems. Just plastic and paper with some writing. No busty bimbos to rain on my parade.
Pros: It glows and it's phthalates-free
Cons: I'm not so sure if it's non-toxic now given the fact that I found something that says scented toys are most likely toxic. Didn't do much for the hubby or me either.
Summary: *sighs* This was such a let-down. Other than it glowing really well, I don't have much else to say. It gave me a good giggle. I probably shouldn't snicker at him during sex, but his dick looked so funny in it! 2/5 Seriously, I'm not sure if I'll ever use it again now that I've seen that about scented toys. I didn't even know it was scented in the first place. They should really put that on the description.
Well, there's plenty of other sex toys and adult fun at EdenFantasys, so go take a look while you wait for my next review. I'm thinking of trying a candy cane toy they have, so wish me luck. Christmas in July! Whoo!

FTC Statement:The Glow-in-the-dark Reversible Sleeve was donated by EdenFanatsys to review for their affiliate program.
A few month ago, I was contacted by an individual company to review some of their products. I was surprised to see that EdenFantasys had already picked up one of their products a couple days after I had received it.
As with every box I receive in the mail, I opened it with the excitement of a schoolgirl and found a sweet smell rising through the packing peanuts. Packing peanuts are fun, in my opinion. It's like digging through cereal for the prize at the bottom. ^_^ And what did I find? Why, a pheromone soy candle with the scent of vanilla sugar. I popped the lid off and took a whiff. "Mmmm....it smells like cake...." It's as sweet as a sheetcake with cream cheese icing. I'm not sure how many times I went back to the bedroom to smell it before my hubby came home. I touched it a couple times. The wax wasn't as soft as I thought it would be for a massage candle.Of course, being the health nut that I am, I wasted no time in looking at the ingredients. Everything seemed to be in order until I saw "Copulandrone, Copuline-alike and Reconstituted Anronone" and wondered what the heck that was. Naturally, I assumed it was the pheromones, but I figured I'd better check. My assumption was correct.
"Well, I how these pheromones would work on my hubby...." With that thought in my head, I decided to cover the label so he wouldn't know there was anything different about the candle. The only thing I told him was it's a massage candle and that I would be out to massage him after I got done with my shower. I lit the candle and let him relax while I got cleaned up.Immediately after stepping out of the shower, I noticed the whole apartment smelled just like cake. "Dang, that thing makes me kinda hungry." I dried off and went to the bedroom. Not much of the wax was melted, so I was thinking I should've lit it earlier. Wrong. Having it lit for only 10-20 minutes was enough even for his big back.
I filled my little hand with it and went to work. It wasn't long before it started setting up. Soon into the massage, little waxy pills started forming and I decided to give up. My hands weren't sliding anymore, they were sticking. And no, the pheromones didn't do anything to either of us. There was a somewhat waxy film left on him, but he was too relaxed to go wash it off. Needless to say, his side of the bed smelled like cake the next morning. It even still smelled like cake after we had washed the sheets! Not that I'm complaining. ^_^ I'm not sure if it was the candle or the sheets, but the bedroom still smelled like cake for a couple days after.
Pros: smells wonderful, no parabens, nice portable tin to take it anywhere, doesn't take much to melt for a massage
Cons: sets up quickly, pheromones had no effect, left a residue
Summary: Well, even though I love the smell of it, I don't think I'll be using it for massage anymore. And I'm glad my hubby was the guinea pig and not me. I don't enjoy my skin being waxy. It did leave him nice and soft when he washed it off, though. And I couldn't stay way from him. I'm on a low-sugar diet because it really affects my period, and him smelling like cake drove me mad. >.< My rating for the Wish candle: 2/5 because I wish it would've made my hubby horny instead of waxy. Although I won't be using it for any more massages, it does smell wonderful and I'll continue to use it as a candle. Soy candles are nice because they completely burn away and don't produce as much soot. That's definitely true for this candle since it has a hemp wick. (Years ago, there were additives in wicks to help them burn and caused them to put off a lot of carcinogens. That's been taken care of for a while now, though. So, no worries.)
The massage candle from Classic Erotica comes in lots of other scents. If you feel like giving one a try, click on one of the pics or just check out EdenFantasys for lots of other massage options, sex toys, lingerie, etc.

After a somewhat dissapointing experience with the Betty Jo cockring, I decided to go searching for a new one. For some reason, Zeus just screamed perfect boy toy. I mean, what is better than getting a toy for your man named after the king of the Greek gods? There's nothing wrong with pumping up his ego a little, right? lol Just as long as he doesn't turn into Narcissus. The phrase on the package doesn't hurt either; "Reach the orgasmic heights of Mount Olympus". How could I resist? ^-^Sounds interesting. What's it made of?
The Zeus cockring is made of beautiful cobalt blue TPE (Basically the same as TPR. INFO), which makes it easy to clean. Just a little warm water and anti-bacterial soap. Also, since it's TPE, you can use either silicone-based or water-based lube on Zeus. Since the bullet that comes with Zeus is water-proof, you'll probably want to give it a go in the shower sometime. That being said, it's usually better to use silicone-based lubes for water play. The hubby and I don't do much water play. Mostly because the shower in our apartment is itty bitty and he's not. It helps that I'm a skinny little thing, but it's still a tight squeeze getting both of us in the shower together. I wish we didn't have that stupid tub.... >.< style="font-weight: bold;">
Anyway, back to the bullet.You get batteries with it. Yay! ^-^ And there are 3 speeds that you can cycle through by pushing the little nubby button. I swear, my hubby is a speed demon. Always puts everything on the highest setting. Not that I'm complaining. The vibes that little bullet put out where enough to make him feel like one of my vibrating dildos. ^-^ You'll need to apply a little lube to get the bullet into the sleeve.
So what about Zeus' spiky thundering balls of orgasmic might?
Um...well... They don't really add much. Really, I expected more just looking at it. You sit there looking at the package while the hubby's at work, thinking the little spiky, TPE coated metal balls must strike like the lightning bolts that Zeus throws. You try to cram the bullet into the sleeve (use some lube) and turn it on to see how the little balls do. Well, the outside two move a bit. And even the vibrations on the highest setting don't really transfer to them well.
Then you try it out and it's like...eh. You really have to be in a certain position to feel them. Hubby said he doesn't really feel them that much. (You want to give your guy a thrill, lightly run your nails over his balls. ~_^) In my opinion, girls, doggy style is best if you want to feel the little spiky balls. Ordinarily, he bangs hard enough against me for his balls to hit me with every thrust. With Zeus on, the little spiky balls do add an element of excitement. If I'm lucky, one of them will hit my clit. The only thing with that is I don't get the textured bullet sleeve buzzing my clit. A little buzzing at the back door is a nice change though.
Wait, so there's some kind of texture on the bullet sleeve?Mmhmm. And it feels good... Way better than anything pointy jabbing me or rubbing against something smooth and boring. On one side, Zeus has 3 little raised bumps to sort of surround your clit. Best position for ultimate pleasure is girl on top. That way you can position your clit right in the middle and go to town. The other side of Zeus just has little raised dots. They're nice, but I like the other side better.
That's great and all, but will it fit my guy?
TPE is a very stretchy material and should fit most guys. Seriously, if I can fit it over both his cock and balls, it should fit any guy. Although, fitting it over both really doesn't make much sense with this cockring. It was pretty easy to get on/off. *snickers* When you do it the right way. I let hubby put his own cockring on for the first time. He put it on upside down! lol XD Geez.. Silly thing. ^_^ Ha. Ok, ok, enough making fun. It was funny, though. Anyway, it keeps him hard longer and delays ejaculation like any good cockring would.
Packaging?No problems. Comes in a box with a picture of a hand holding it. Gotta love the marketing on it "Reach the orgasmic heights of Mount Olympus" and "Feel the power!". Somebody had their thinking cap on.
Vibration Level: 3/5 3 levels of vibration. The 3rd one is enough to turn the hubby into a vibrating dildo, so it's pretty strong. It's just that it's pathetic when it comes to vibrating those little balls. If the vibrations transfered, then maybe I'd give it a higher rating.
Noise Level: 2/5 I'd compare it to a cell phone set to vibrate.
Pros: Phthalates-free!, stretchy, visually appealing, nice 3-speed bullet, feels good with the right position, can be used with either silicone-based or water-based lube, water-proof,
Cons: The vibrations don't really transfer to the little balls much. Somewhat a pain to find a position to get the full effect of Zeus.
Summary: So what is my take on all this? Well, it's definitely more fun for me than it is for my hubby. He can't really feel the little balls and he said he just likes the vibes. On the other hand, I get to rub my clit against those nice little bumps and have the little balls smack into me during doggy style. Plus, the kitsch factor with the whole Zeus thing was a lot of fun. ^-^ But, since it's hard to get the full effect and since the little balls don't do much, 3/5 for good old Zeus.
Of course, Zeus isn't the only cockring out there. There are plenty of other cockrings, sex toys, lingerie etc to check out at EdenFantasys.
