A Little Bit Of Passion

I love the idea of strap-ons. Not for pegging or fucking someone else, but for strapping on for hands-free stimulation of myself. Recently, I received the Passion Flower G, a hands-free vibrator that is strap-compatible, from Cal Exotics to review.

The Passion Flower G is billed as a triple action vibrator. It comes in a colorful box, and it is sealed in plastic inside.

It is a pretty, light pink color, and translucent. It’s made of unscented TPE, and it has no smell out of the box. The TPE makes it a bit tacky to the touch, so it needs to be washed both before and after use with an antibacterial soap and warm water, or a toy cleaner. It is porous, so if you plan on sharing your Passion Flower, make sure to use a condom. A water-based and lubricant is the best choice to use.

The Passion Flower is 6 1/2″ long overall, measured straight from the tip to the bottom of the bullet. The 4” insertable portion is 1 1/4″ in diameter at its widest. The g-spot tip is quite flexible, and the shaft harrows a bit below the tip. The shaft has a gently rippled design which is more aesthetic than stimulating, but it is pretty. A noticeable seam runs up and over the toy. You can feel it with your finger, but it’s not noticeable or distracting during use.

The flower base is 4 1/4″ wide, and has two small stimulators. The front one is 3/4″ high and looks a bit like a shark fin. The back stimulator is a small, thin nub. The rest of the flower is smooth to the touch, with some contouring.

The flower has four holes around it through which straps can be attached. The Passion Flower doesn’t come with any, and the box suggests using your favorite straps. This is great if you have some, but unfortunate if you don’t because you won’t be able to strap it in place. I happen to have some, so I was able to try this both with and without.

The vibrations of the Passion Flower are powered by a non-removable bullet. The bullet is 4” long, and sticks out of the bottom below the flower base. It is controlled by a push button on the bottom, and just has 1 speed. The bullet is made of ABS plastic with silver plating, and is not removable from the base. It is powered by 1 AAA battery, which is inserted by unscrewing the bullet’s base and dropping it in + side down. There is an O-ring between the bullet and its base to make this toy waterproof.

The vibrations are moderately strong, and are felt decently throughout the toy. It’s fairly quiet as well – about as loud as a cell phone on vibrate.

So, did it work? Unfortunately, not well for me. I found the shaft was much too flexible for me to get any kind of pressure on my g-spot, and while the vibrations felt nice and stimulating, they weren’t enough to get me off, even when thrusting.

The flower base was a bit too wide to be comfortable for me in anything but a reclining position. It was too wide for me to close my legs comfortably. The two stimulators on the flower were too small and too close to the shaft to do any stimulating of either my clitoris or anus like I hoped they would.

I did find some straps that worked and was able to get this to stay on relatively well, but other than holding it more in place as I reclined, they didn’t do much for me. I tried to use this seated as well, but the bullet sticks out too far at the bottom, and I kept hitting the power button and turning the bullet off.

If you like milder vibrations, and are looking for a toy that can be strapped on for internal stimulation, this is one you might consider. Thank you to Cal Exotics for sending this to me for free to review!

  • LELO Ina by Raven Quince
  • Yes! Yes! Yes! Do it again! Mmmmmm! Wow. Thank you, baby.INA has given me insta-orgasms. On my first try, despite not knowing how to work the controller and accidentally attempting to insert both parts of it into me, I fumbled my way to a gushing orgasm in just a few quick minutes. The second trial included my husband’s cock and a butt plug – I came strongly and in no time flat. INA my new best friend.

    Note: Possibly the most adorable LELO review ever! Who doesn’t love to see photos of the reviewer in a bunny suit to celebrate LELO’s awesome rabbit vibe! Seriously, go look at the pictures and read it.

Sqweel of Disappointment

I’ve been itching to try LoveHoney’s Sqweel since I first saw it. I love oral sex, and since this is supposed to simulate a licking tongue, I jumped at the chance to review this for Babeland when they offered it for review.

The Sqweel comes in a hinged metal tin with LoveHoney Sqweel embossed on the lid. A cardboard slipcase covers the tin with some information about the product and a picture. Inside the box are the Sqweel, instructions on use and cleaning, and a sample of Sliquid.

I must say that the Sqweel was smaller than I was expecting. For some reason I thought the tongues would be tongue-sized. The Sqweel is 4 1/2″wide, and 5” long, with a thickness of 1 1/2″. It fits easily in the palm of your hand, and is easy to grasp. The whole outer case is black, and smooth and velvety to the touch.

The battery compartment is located on the squared end of the Sqweel. To access, simply press the arrow on the indicated rectangle where it says open, and the lid pops off. The Sqweel takes 3 AAA batteries, and the battery direction is clearly labeled.

The top is easy to remove by holding each side of the case and pressing the round end off in the direction of the arrows. This reveals the tongue wheel. The wheel consists of 10 pink tongues, which look like flower petals with a slight upward curve. Each tongue is 1” long and 1” wide at its widest point. The tongues are soft, flexible, and squishy.I have to say, next to dragon penises, this is one of the strangest looking toys I’ve ever seen! Ten lapping tongues? Well, ok. I’ll try anything once.

On the bottom of the square end is the intensity slider, which has 3 speeds. These speeds are very low, low, and medium low. I suspect this is to better simulate the lapping speed of an average tongue, but I would have preferred a higher speed as well. The Sqweel is pretty quiet, and it won’t be heard if you’ve got it under the covers with some background music on.  You can hold the Sqweel to have the tongues lap up or lap down, whichever is your preference.


The Sqweel’s tongues are made of silicone, while the case is made from ABS plastic. The toy is latex-free and phthalates-free, and can be disasssembled and thoroughly cleaned. To remove the tongue wheel, simply put your thumbs in the teardrop shaped indentations on the back side and twist gently in a clockwise direction. The lid will slide and pop off, allowing you to remove the wheel. The tongues can be cleaned with warm water and antibacterial soap and allowed to dry. The case should be wiped inside and out with a damp cloth.

So, Does it Work? Sadly, not well for me. On any speed, when the tongues are lubed and gently held against my clit, I will say the sensation is delightful. It does feel a bit like lapping tongues. The sensations are nice, gentle, and teasing, and I want them that way for about 1 minute.


The big problem with the Sqweel occurred when I applied any kind of pressure. Now, when I’m getting oral sex, I get to a point pretty quickly where I grab my partner’s hair and grind his face into my clit. Tongue pressure and tongue suction are definitely required. But with the Sqweel, when I applied too much pressure, regardless of the speed I was on, the tongues ground to a halt. This was not good and intensely frustrating, and made me squeal in disappointment. Every time I’d try again, I’d promise myself not to press, and I’d do it again and make the Sqweel stop. 


While this is unique and kind of fun, I didn’t find it useful for any kind of prolonged session since I couldn’t grind into it. I had to switch off to either my partner’s tongue or a good bullet to really get the pressure and vibration I needed.


If you don’t need pressure and like light stimulation, you might enjoy the Sqweel. Otherwise, you’ll be better off with a real tongue or a harder toy.


I’d like to thank Babeland for satisfying my curiousity, and sending me the LoveHoney Sqweel for review!

Cute As A Caterpillar!

I had a lot of fun reviewing the Booster vibrator (Patchy Paul III) from Fun Factory for EdenFantasys.  I even made a video to go along with it!

It’s Really Not Minty

Continuing my quest to find the perfect large dildo, I came across the Radiant Gems Ballsy Cock from Doc Johnson at EdenFantasys. I wanted to try this for a while. It seems the perfect blend of realistic design with fanciful color.

The Ballsy comes packaged in an easy-to-open clamshell case, with the Ballsy visible through the front plastic. Product information is on both the front and back of the package. The Ballsy comes in both mint green and purple, and, being the sucker for colors that I am, I went for the green. The green is very pretty – it’s the color of the filling in an Andes mint.

The package mentions that the Ballsy is lightly scented, apparently with the scent of rubber. I was honestly expecting it to smell minty, so I was a bit disappointed. Although, really, a minty-fresh dildo might be a bit strange! I also wasn’t crazy about my hands smelling like this after handling Ballsy, and it took a few washes and dries of them to get rid of the scent. The underlying rubber smell isn’t as strong as on many toys I’ve had, and it did mostly dissipate after several washings and air dryings, although Ballsy remains lightly smelling of something and my hands still smell after handling him.

The Ballsy is made from SilAGel. SilAGel is made with polyvinyl chloride, so it is a semi-porous material. It is also antibacterial, non-toxic, latex free, and cadmium free. This material attracts dust easily, and it should be protected with a condom if you are planning on sharing this toy.

Ballsy is easy to clean. It should be washed both before and after use with warm water and mild soap, and patted dry with a soft cloth. The Ballsy should be stored out of direct sunlight, and away from other toys.

Both water-based and silicone lubricants are safe to use.

The Ballsy is 8 1/2″ long, with 7” insertable. It has a diameter of 1 3/4”, so it will be enjoyed by those who like their toys a bit thicker. It has a detailed head and veined texture. The texture isn’t overwhelming and can’t be felt much when inserted. The balls at the base make this easy to grip for thrusting, and it can also be used in an O-ring harness.

Ballsy is fun to use. With the flat base you can stand it upright on a table or other flat surface. It’s firm enough to thrust without the dildo bending out of shape. The balls make him easy to grip and control for thrusting. While the Ballsy doesn’t stimulate the g-spot, it can be used with the we-vibe or G-Ki for added stimulation.

My husband enjoyed the size of this one, although he had the same complaint about the smell that I did. He liked the size and shape of the base for control and thrusting, and didn’t find the base to get in the way when he wanted to join in.

This is not a bad dildo. It’s inexpensive, a good size, and a great color. If it didn’t have such an odor, I’d recommend it more highly.

I purchased this one at EdenFantasys, and you can too by clicking here.
