I would say that I am a pretty sexually adventurous person. I like to try new things. Even if I’m not sure what the outcome will be, I’m usually pretty game to at least give it one wholehearted go. So when I was asked to pick out a sex toy to review from an entire website of products, I jumped at the chance to try something totally different than anything I already had. And seeing as I am a sex toy reviewer, I have a ton of toys - from a 24 ounce steel barbell to a trio of finger vibes plugged into a battery operated power pack strapped to your wrist. Let’s just say my cup runneth over. But one thing I was really lacking was butt specific toys. Deciding that’s where I wanted to fill my gap, so to speak, I flipped to the anal toy page and picked the first interesting thing I found – 100% silicone anal beads. Two weeks later Flexi Felix landed on my desk.
To be perfectly honest, even though I had previously seen pictures of Flexi Felix before considering it for my own personal ass, I was surprised how much it looked like a kid’s teething toy. And yes, I know how gross that association is when, in fact, you shove this toy up your ass. Shaped like a hot pink Caterpillar with big eyes that double as finger handles and a long, snake-like body, Felix is perfectly nubbed with size increasing bumps. And a big smile – can’t forget that. I’m not usually one to go for a toy with an animal face, mostly because they freak me out a little bit, but I gave in for this one because it’s made of Fun Factory’s amazingly velvetly 100% silicone and the continuous chain of “beads” appealed to me more than beads on a string. I would have gone with Fun Factory’s Bendybeads, but another reviewer beat me to the punch.
Personification (or animalification) aside, Flexi Felix ended up being a good set of anal beads - used by someone that, as it turns out, doesn’t really enjoy anal beads. You learn new things about yourself all the time.
While I realized early on in my anal bead adventure that they weren’t really for me, I will say that Felix is super smooth and silky and easy to insert. The chain starts with smaller beads which get bigger as you get closer to the Caterpillar face handle. And speaking of the handle, it turned out to fit my fingers perfectly and was great to have for pushing and pulling the beads in and out. The silicone parts between the beads are fairly thin and keep the whole toy a little on the floppy side for me. At times it was difficult to maneuver the beads because the whole chain would squirm around as I moved it, but I mostly countered that by abandoning the handle and just pushing and pulling directly on the bead needing to move. Though, paired with lots of lube on both the toy and my hands, this proved to be a slippery situation.
All in all, great phthalate-free material, super easy clean up and sterilization, and Fun Factory’s signature quality all make this toy a great choice if you’re in the market for anal beads. And though I now know I may not belong to that group of consumers, I’m glad I picked up something different and expanded my sex toy horizons. Plus, just because I don’t like anal beads doesn’t mean my partner won’t. Maybe Felix will make it to the top of my toy chest after all… and maybe you’ll get an update… if you’re up for an adventure.

I have been in the market for a new vibrator for too long, so you can only imagine how extremely excited I was when I was presented with the G Twist. My eyes got wide with anticipation and I couldn’t wait for the clock to strike 6 so I could pedal my bike home and try it out. Of course it was all I could talk about while riding home with my boyfriend, who in turn became equally as excited.
Before I actually go into all the juicy details of trying it out, I have to comment on the packaging - I’m a sucker for anything graphic design related. The packaging plays a huge role in sex toy selection for me, and the G Twist is totally on par. The box is white and teal with G Twist written in large, orange text. It looks very 1950’s advertisement-ish which is most likely due to the fact that Good Vibrations is located in San Francisco (the actual toy is made by Fun Factory for Good Vibes). There’s a window on the front of the box that allows for viewing the vibrator while it’s still in the packaging, and a flap that details important features of the G Twist on the back that opens and closes with a magnet.
After I finally got over my ‘ooos’ and ‘ahhs’ of the packaging, I was ready to try it out and by the look on my boyfriend face, he was ready too.
The round control was very user friendly and allowed me to easily control the toy while I was using it alone. All I needed was a tiny motion of one or two fingers and I was either vibin’ full force or taking it easy and working my way up. The control was also user friendly for my boyfriend who found it exciting to surprise me with different speeds. I highly recommend letting go of the reins and letting someone else get in the drivers’ seat!
I think the G Twist was a little long for me. The curve at the end of the toy that is meant for g-spot stimulation went above and beyond where it needed to for me (not in a good way.) I found the toy slightly uncomfortable when it was fully inserted, which is why I probably enjoyed it more for clit stimulation or when it was only inserted half way.
This toy produces very little noise, and I mean it! When I was using it I couldn’t hear it at all and had to hold it up to my ear to even hear the vibrating. It’s definitely good for those of you living in close quarters or at home. The silicone G Twist is also very smooth to the touch and pretty light weight (you don’t have to worry about bulging biceps after using it for a month) and is of course made free of phthalates which is very important.
Let’s just sum it by saying I definitely plan to keep the G Twist within arm’s reach of my bed.
Grab a G Twist a G-G-G-Go Crazy!

In this time of great competition of power and endurance (the Olympics, duh), it’s only fitting for the results of the UK Sex Toy Awards to be annouced. And the gold goes to….. drum solo please…
Fun Factory’s Delight vibe!!
This multi-speed, rechargeable silicone and plastic vibrator took top honors as the all around highest ranked toy of the ten tested (they were vibes that went on sale at UK-based LoveHoney between May 2007 and May 2008). Check out the rest of the list here.
Our own HotMoviesForHer Sex Toy Crew got a chance to play with the Delight a little while back. Here is what our lucky reviewer had to say:
Right now, the Delight is my favorite toy in my box - literally and figuratively. The price may seem a little steep at first, but you can’t put a price on a great orgasm. In my opinion, this toy is a must-have.
Read the whole review here.
Then go out and get one. They are pricey, but so worth it. Sure you can get a armload of cheapy sex toys for the price of one Delight, but seriously, sometimes it’s cheaper to pay. This is your pleasure we are talking about!

You’re the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasies…
Pat Benatar may not have been speaking about Fun Factory’s amazing vibrator The Heartbreaker (or was she?), but she manages to capture my exact feelings about this bad boy!
This silicone vibe is the kind of toy that every woman should have. It’s a pretty basic vibe, just better made than most. It’s made of Fun Factory’s amazing silicone, which is basically the best thing in the world. The end is slightly curved for g-spot stimulation and its ribbed texture offers amazing sensations. This flexible toy is designed to please you in a number of ways – so it’s one that I find myself reach in all kinds of situations
The one thing some of you should know is that the vibe of this toy isn’t incredibly strong - in the grand scheme of sex toys it’s probably average. Personally, while I love a strong vibe as much as the next red-blooded American, I often prefer toys with a little less buzz for partnered play and this one has served me well. Personally I think that this toy is best measured for all it offers, not just for the strength of its vibration.
In my opinion, everyone should have a great basic vibe like The Heartbreaker in the drawer of their nightstand, you know, for emergencies.

There’s a first time for everything and this was my first time with a bendy beaded anal toy from Fun Factory. On that note, this was my first time with any anal toy. In knowing that, cut me a break on my cheesy descriptive review.
My Bendybeads are red and as you guessed it, bendy. I prepared myself mentally for what I was about to do. I got out my Wild Fire mini-vibe and a shit load of lube.
In using so much lube, it posed a bit of a problem hanging onto my beaded beast. I started off very slowly, just rubbing the bumps of the beads along my backside. Hmm, that actually felt kind of pleasant. There is a ring at the end of my beads so I could have some sense of control over it.
However, hanging onto the ring and attempting to insert the first bulb was pointless. Like stated above, it bends. Just about landed in the wrong hole, which got me thinking. But we’ll try that a different time. So back to my problem with having a lot of lube on my toy…I got a hold of the first bead and applied a bit of pressure and in it went. Now, this is not so bad, in fact feels kind of nice. I can see why men enjoy each other so much. This can open up a whole new world for me. Since the first bead felt good, the second one should feel better. So, a little more pressure and both are now in.

Well, I think this is the last stop on the Fun Factory train for a while. After reviewing and loving most of their catalog, the Amor was only OK. Please know that this isn’t a reflection of the quality of this dildo, it’s just not the best suited for me personally.
It’s totally a quality product and if you’re looking for a basic dildo for strapping on, I think you’ll be pleased. The Amor also has an excellent suction cup base that’s great for hands free fucking and is a compact little guy with five insertable inches, and a respectable 4 ½ inch girth. It has a slightly curved tip and abstractly resembles a cock, but is far enough removed for any haters out there, especially when you consider the fact that mine is red and white swirls.
Like I said before, this is a high-quality cock with a very reasonable price tag. One thing consistent in Fun Factory toys is their amazing silicone. There’s something luxurious about it that makes their products, including the Amor, superior to most in my opinion. This is a good basic toy for anyone looking for a no frills dildo to get off with.
After falling in love with the Bandito, I’m not sure the Amor ever stood a chance but I’d recommend this as a great starter dildo, especially for someone who’s looking to experiment with strap on play.
It must be Amor!

The day Delight was delivered to the office, I was both confused and excited. I always look forward to toy reviews - who wouldn’t? I like postponing social engagements using the excuse, “I’m just swamped with work.” But when the Delight came, I knew it was going to be a good night – if I could figure out how this was going to work. I’m not saying I’m extra deep down there; it just seemed small for all these rave reviews. Even in my hands it seemed small, and anyone who knows me will vouch for my diminutive hands.
Here’s a tip before we get into the good stuff – charge the Delight right away. I know it seems pretty obvious but trust me, you’re not going to want to wait three hours to use this guy. I charged mine at my desk so when I got home it was ready for me.

I think it’s just about time I buy stock in Fun Factory. Or at least get a shirt that says “Foxy Fun Factory Lady” or something…
Anyways, my latest adventure with this fine company’s products involves the Curve; a toy that has basically revolutionized the dildo for me. When it comes to solo play, I’m a vibration girl. Due to the rigorous demands of my job, I end up test driving a lot of non-vibrating toys, but when it comes down to it, I prefer something that buzzes. Now, the Curve comes along and I have to reconsider everything I’ve ever known about myself.

I’ve been told about the miracle that is the Bandito and as a proud owner, I can verify how fantastic this sleek silicone dildo is. In my humble opinion, you can never go wrong with Fun Factory and this is coming from a girl who’s well on her way to owning the complete collection!
First, let’s talk about appearance. The Bandito is the coolest looking dildo I’ve ever owned. It’s black, which makes me feel like a total bad-ass and has all sorts of fun swirly designs that stimulate your hoo-hah and your artistic sensibilities. I think my friend described it perfectly by saying it “looks a little bit like a starry-eyed hippie, what with her ethereal swirly patterns, but she is totally hardcore hot.” This is a cock that you’ll display proudly on your bedside dresser, or in your office if you’re a sex perv like me.

I was a fast learner in kindergarten. They said share and share I did. Good thing I never lost that skill as I grew up and I am still well acquainted with the give and take. And lucky for me, Fun Factory created Share, the perfect toy for both giving and taking.
A strap-less strap-on dildo, Share uses the PC muscles (or pubococcygeus muscles) to hold the kidney bean shaped end firmly inside the vagina, which in turn lets the wearing have a protruding dick without the use of a harness. Woohoo!
First taking Share out of the box, I was a little hesitant on how well it could work as a double dildo. While the actual silicone is pretty firm when it comes to the insertable bits, I felt like the bridge part was a little on the floppy side to keep the dick up. Before judging it too much, we lubed the sucker up and got down to business.
