It’s getting close to the Holiday season. Well, technically we’re already there, with 3 major holidays between now and the end of the year. So, I’m deciding on my holiday shoes. This pair is fun, strappy and gold, and my first contender for my holiday outfit.

Editor’s Pick
Looking like a cross between a creature of the deep and Cinderella’s sparkly glass slipper, the Octopussy is much different than the rest of my tentacle sex toys. The suckers are actually just bumps and there is a crease down the middle like you would see if you try to fold your tongue in half length-wise. Also, there’s some veining on the underneath that reminds me of a leaf.

Fun Factory is one of my favorite toy brands. I particularly love their rechargeable vibrators like Chester Cheeky and Benjamin Bond, but I adore their battery operated ones like the LayaSpot as well. The Astrovibes line looked interesting when I first saw it – different vibrators designed for each of the astrological signs? Could be fun! I’m not huge into astrology, but I do know the names of the signs. I couldn’t decide on which to get, but since my husband’s a Taurus (well, honestly, also because it’s orange), I figured this would be a fun one to review from EdenFantasys.
The Taurus (which is a Fun Factory Generation 1 toy) comes in a blue box, visible through the front window. The back is closed by magnets, and contains product information on each of the three grey panels, including care and cleaning Inside the package are the Taurus, instruction booklet, and sample of Toyfluid lubricant.
This really is a cute vibrator. Have I said it’s orange? It’s a glorious color for sex toys, and really makes this one appealing. The shape is standard, with the Taurus standing about 7 1/2″ high. It’s insertable up to 6 1/2″ with a maximum diameter of 1 1/2″. The silicone is soft, and just a bit squishy, but while it has drag to the surface it’s not at all tacky. The top portion is flexible, while the rest of the shaft is rigid and you can feel the vibrator inside.
Being named Taurus implies this looks like a bull, and indeed it does in a stylistic way. The tip of the vibrator is the blunt nose of the bull, and two bulges swing down to form the definition between the cheeks and the rest of the head. These swirls join in a V on the bottom side, and looking at the Taurus this way, it resembles a circumsized penis. Two longer swirls fun down from the nose on the top and separate and join to form the bull’s horns. These swirls and ridges provide some interesting texture, although it’s by no means overwhelming during use.
Being a Generation 1, the Taurus has a simple, “old-school” style battery compartment, black with a bottom red dial. The cap takes a 1/4 counter clockwise turn to remove and access the battery compartment. The Taurus takes 2 AA batteries, one facing up and the other facing down.
The red dial on the bottom is easy to turn (somewhat too easy), and dials this Bull from low to high vibrations. Because of the size and location of the vibrator inside, on low the Taurus vibrates most strongly in the middle of the shaft. When turned to high, the vibrations transmit nicely into the head and nose. They are moderate to highly strong and a bit throbby, though mostly buzzy. They are also a bit on the loud side. Not so loud that you’d think your partner was using a chainsaw in the bedroom – some background sound like a TV or radio, or a low fan, would adequately mask the sound the Taurus makes.
The Taurus is phthalates-free and non porous, and is easy to clean with mild soap and warm water, but do take care not to get water too close to the base as it isn’t a waterproof vibe. If the base needs cleaning, wiping it with a wet cloth should do the trick. Since the Taurus is silicone, only water-based lubricants are safe to use.
So, Did it Work? I like the Taurus. The color was a huge draw, and I like the stylized design of this. It’s a bit on the thin side for me, but it’s easy and comfortable to use. While the low vibrations don’t do much for me, on high they are strong enough to feel sumptuous inside. I like the blunt nose on this bull as well. It’s firm with just a bit of squish, and it feels good pressing on my clit with the vibrations on high. They’re enough to get me to orgasm, although they don’t get me there as fast as other toys.
The dial base on the Taurus is my least favorite part. It’s not that this vibrator only has steady vibrations – I don’t mind toys that only have steady because that’s often what I use them on. The dial is just a bit too easy to turn. Even when grasping this on the side, my hand will move against it and change the strength of the vibrations. A bit harder to twist would make this quite a bit better. My husband had some trouble with this as well, as he had this idea to twist the Taurus, and his hand kept turning them down.
Since the silicone isn’t slick, the Taurus will mount in the Liberator Wing (the best invention since sliced bread) and not slip too far down into the pocket to use it hands free.
Overall, the Taurus is a fun vibe, with moderate vibrations and a great look. It’s one you’ll enjoy if you like medium sized vibrators and steady vibrations.

You can never have too many anal toys. At least that’s the philosophy I subscribe to. Whether they’re probes or plugs, beads or dildos, it’s always good to have a variety. After all, variety is the spice of my sex life. I saw the Don Juan Silicone Anal Toy offered for review from Good Vibrations, and it looked interesting, so I decided to give it a try.
The Don Juan comes in an easy to open clamshell case, with the toy visible through the front. The insert contains product information which can be read from the back.
This is a fun looking plug. It’s about 4” tall, and consists of 3 thin eggs each about 1” wide, that are joined in a gentle curve at the ends and to the base. No seams are visible. The matte black color is nice, and the silicone surface has a bit of drag to it. The base is soft and flexible, longer than it is wide, and it makes the Don Juan comfortable to seat firmly when it’s fully inserted.
Inserting the Don Juan is easy, since it isn’t very large. The rounded tip and narrow diameter make it simple to push in, and the silicone isn’t so soft that it won’t go in. If necessary, a break can be taken between inserting each bead. Once it’s all the way in, the Don Juan is pretty comfortable.
Since this doesn’t have much of a neck, it won’t stay in place easily if you move around or aren’t sitting on it. If you’re wearing it with underwear or pants, they will keep it held in, but it won’t stay seated and will come out if you’re using this during naked play.
Since it’s silicone, the Don Juan is odorless, phthalates-free, non-porous, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean. It should be washed both before and after use with soap and water and patted dry. It can also be boiled or washed in the dishwasher on the top rack. The box it comes in isn’t the best for storing, but you can stand it upright on a shelf or keep it in a toy bag.
So, Did It Work? I liked the Don Juan. While it’s small in size, the beads are fun to insert, and it was very comfortable to wear. While I would have preferred wearing this without something holding it in, a pair of underwear did the trick just fine. It also worked well as a warm-up for larger anal toys.

I love Tantus products. The soft silicone and pleasant shapes and colors of their sex toys are wonderful. I particularly love their anal toys, so I was excited to get the Leisure from Vibrator.com for review.
The Tantus Leisure comes in a see-through box with red and grey accents, with the Leisure and it’s accompanying bullet displayed through the front. Product information is on the back and sides of the box.
This toy is one of many Tantus green sex toys, meaning it’s eco-friendly, non-toxic and body safe, with no phthalates or PVC. It’s made of silicone, and is also hypoallergenic and completely odorless. It’s easy to clean with soap and water, and it can also be boiled, bleached, or run through the dishwasher. Since it’s silicone, only water-based lubricants are safe to use.
The Leisure comes in copper, purple, and white. I chose the copper, which I find to be an unusual color for a sex toy. It’s the color of a shiny penny, and it shimmers in the light. It’s simply gorgeous. This toy is wonderfully soft, just a bit squishy, and super flexible, so it’s comfortable no matter where you choose to insert it. It’s not tacky, but the surface has a bit of drag to it.
This toy is a pleasant 8” long (measured along the curve), with 7 1/4” insertable. It has a gently tapered tip and a diameter of 1 1/4″. The base is about 2 1/4″ in diameter, and large enough to use the Leisure successfully in a harness or slip it into the dildo holder in the Liberator Wing. Without the bullet, you can also use the Leisure with the Tantus Suction Cup, attaching it to your bathroom wall for hands-free play.
The Tantus Leisure comes with a small silver bullet vibrator, which takes 3 LR44 watch batteries (batteries are included). The bullet is removable, and it’s easy to push into the Leisure’s base as well as take it out, and sticks out about 1/2″ from the bottom when fully inserted. It has an O-ring at the bottom of the threads to make it safe for use in the shower or bath.
The bullet has only one speed, and can be turned on and off by pressing the button on the bottom. The vibrations are high speed and buzzy, and transmit throughout the Leisure, although they are strongest at the base. You can replace this bullet with a stronger one if you choose (5/8” in diameter), or use the Leisure without it.
So, Does It Work? Simply put, yes! While the Leisure can be used for vaginal stimulation, I used it almost exclusively for anal play. It’s softness and flexibility make it easy to insert, and the base is a good size for using in the Liberator Wing. It’s large enough to stay in place when inserted between the cover and the foam insert, and with the bullet extending down a bit into the pocket, there’s no worries about turning the vibrations on and off.
While I don’t think the vibrations are overly strong, I was able to feel them, and they were pleasant. The Leisure reminds me a lot of the Smooth Operator from Vixen Creations, both in size and material, but I like the base a lot better on the Leisure.
While we don’t have a standard harness, we do have a hand harness, and the Leisure fit in this well, although my husband had some trouble with the bullet bottom hitting his palm. We found it worked better without the bullet when used this way.
The Leisure also worked well when attached to the wall. Although it doesn’t vibrate this way, it’s still great to attach and move against.
If you’re looking for a thinner vaginal vibrator/dildo, or want a soft, flexible, and comfortable anal toy, the Leisure is a great choice. You’ll enjoy it for a long time to cum!
