Novelty sex toys can be lots of fun, and the most common kind are rose-shaped clitoral stimulators. But are they as good as they look? Well, I’ve tested one and here are my thoughts!

Aesthetics

This is where rose toys get top marks. They are so cute to look at! The design is simple and elegant. They are pretty easy to clean, as they are usually made from silicone, and the top section is often removable so you can reach all the nooks and crannies. You can even buy versions now that have a ‘stem’ which works as a G-spot stimulator or have egg vibrators attached (these don’t look as nice, in my opinion).

Size

The size of the rose toy is another bonus! They are quite small, so fit nicely in your hands and are easy to store. Also, most versions come with at least two different sizes for the head to fit different types of clits. So if you travel a lot or are short on space, this would be a great toy for you.

Stimulation

Now this is where the rose toy falls behind. For a newbie to clitoral stimulators, this would be great. I’ve found the vibrations to be pretty light to medium, so it still feels nice but isn’t super overwhelming. They are also very easy to use, with only a couple of buttons, and once you turn it on, you can just move it around your clitoris until you find the perfect spot for you. You can also use the vibrations to tease other parts of your body or those of your partner. However, if you have used other stimulators and often use higher settings, this might not work for you. 

Overall, rose toys are a great first toy and a really good choice if you are looking for something small and compact. You can find a range of rose toys in person at Harlots Canberra or on online retailers such as Lovehoney or Amazon.

Finding the right sex toy for you can be extremely difficult. There are so many different kinds, it can be hard to choose. This week, I’m going to help you narrow it down by telling you the pros and cons of the three main materials sex toys are made from.

Silicone

Silicone is the most common material for sex toys to be made from. It’s easy to clean, non-porous and great for transmitting tantalising vibrations. It can be used on a range of toys, like dildos, butt plugs, vibrators and many more. The main drawbacks of silicone-based toys is that they pick up fluff, hair and dust like you wouldn’t believe, so you’ll want to store them in a bag or drawer away from potential contaminants. You also need to be careful not to use silicone-based lubes, as they will degrade your toys over time, so stick with water-based lubricants instead.

Glass

Smooth, hard and gorgeous to look at, glass sex toys feel decadent against your skin. But they aren’t just beautiful, they are also perfect for temperature play. Whether you want to heat them up or cool them down, they can do both. They are also deliciously firm, perfect for hitting those internal pleasure spots. They’re also very easy to clean, just a rinse with hot water and then leave them to dry, and they’ll be ready for your next session. You can also use any lubricant you like; no need to worry about damaging your toy.
Looking at a glass sex toy, you might start to worry about it breaking, but don’t worry, they are made from borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is super durable and won’t shatter into lots of sharp little pieces if dropped.

Metal

Metal toys are very similar to glass ones. They are great for temperature play, durable, and compatible with all kinds of lube. Where metal toys excel is with weight play. If you enjoy a heftiness to your toys, then a metal toy will be perfect for you, and they come in a range of weights so you can find one that suits you best. Some metal toys can also work with an electric current. So, if you want to try out electronic stimulation, they are the toy for you. Just make sure you get a metal toy designed specifically for electronic stimulation.

Ready to try out some new sex toys? You can find a range of toys for sale in-house at Harlots Canberra or online at retailers like Lovehoney or Lelo. Have fun experimenting!

Have you been thinking about buying a new vibrator for yourself or your partner? Well, do I have the recommendation for you! 

Womanizer is one of the top sex toy brands, and their Womanizer Duo 2 is proof of it. The Duo 2 combines a clitoral stimulator with a powerful G-spot vibrator, so you can hit both pleasure centres at the same time. There are 14 intensity levels and 10 different vibration patterns to choose from. As well as two different stimulation heads to fit different-shaped vaginas. Finding the right rhythm for your pleasure has never been easier. 

The Duo 2 is easy to clean and quick to charge. Although the magnetic charger can be a bit finicky. I would recommend you double-check that the charging light is flashing, the toy is secure, and it won’t be easily bumped to ensure it is fully charged when you want to play. There is nothing worse than being ready for a round of pleasure only to find out your favourite toy is out of battery.

One of the best features of the Duo 2 is its Afterglow function. Once you’ve brought yourself to a mind-numbing orgasm, you can short-press the power button to bring the intensity level down to the lowest setting. This means you can drag your orgasm out for longer without overstimulating your clitoris.

Another bonus of buying a Womanizer product is their 5-year warranty. If your vibrator breaks, simply submit a warranty request with the retailer you purchased it from and you will be well on your way to receiving a replacement.

If this piqued your interest, you can buy a Womanizer Duo 2 from Amazon or Lovehoney.

Happy Shopping!
