simply blown 300x266 The Siamese by Simply Blown

Glass sex toys are about the sexiest adult toys on the market, and Simply Blown makes the sexiest erotic creations out of glass in the industry.  I’m not kidding.  Take a look at these beauties (the whole line of Simply Blown is here)!

But, that wasn’t what Scott Slagerman, the glass designer behind Simply Blown set out to do.  According to EroticBiz, Scott didn’t even know that glass sex toys existed “until he walked into the Pleasure Chest and saw some pieces by Phallix.”

After that, a few people who knew he was a glass artisan asked him to make some sex toys, he made a few for friends and Simply Blown was born.

Scott, and the other Simply Blown artisans use “thousand year old traditional techniques still in use by the world’s greatest glass masters” to hand shape their one of a kind erotic masterpieces of glass art.  This technique is much different than the way that Pyrex glass toys are made.

“Every piece is judged by the eye and hand of a glass master, deemed worthy to meet our exacting standards and embody Simply Blown’s philosophy of blending old world style craftsmanship with bold, new innovative designs and refined aesthetics.”—Simply Blown

I could tell right away when I received my Siamese glass dildo by Simply Blown that it was different.  First of all was the weight.  This is one serious piece of glASS at 13” in length and 4.75″ diameter, weighing a couple of pounds!  It came in the loveliest grey minimalist designer box with a plastic window to view your art piece and a tab to slide the toy out of its case.  At first it appeared that the piece was hollow inside, but once I held it up to the light I could see it was a glass shape inside of another glass shape, with the outer glass piece clear with the inner glass piece in red.  This gives the Siamese the most stunning and unique design.

Known as a “double-ender” because you can use either end, the Siamese features a bulbous end and a more slender end, both sleek and softly rounded.  I ordered the Siamese in the hand blown Ruby colored glass, and it reminds me of antique colored glass windows you see in old houses.  Gorgeous!

What I love about glass dildos is that a little lube goes a long way.  Put a little dap on the end of this beauty and its sleek tip slides easily inside.  The Siamese is slightly curved to help reach the G-spot and either end works well for that type of stimulation.  If you prefer to thrust it like a normal dildo using the old in and out, it works perfectly for that as well

I really enjoyed the fullness of this toy as well as how it massaged my G-spot.  Glass toys somehow feel more in tune to your body when you use them, flowing like a cool frozen river of pleasure that melds with your body’s inner curves and moves with your motions.  I know that sounds like a sappy bit of purple prose, but I really can’t explain the feeling of a glass sex toy any better, as the material is so natural and unique.

Ceramic dildos are nothing new.  According to Wikipedia, “Dildos in one form or another have been present in society throughout history”, the oldest one known, a 28,000 year old “sculpted and polished phallus” made from siltstone found in a German cave.  From the same time period, the earliest known ceramic objects are dated: “Gravettian figurines from the Upper Paleolithic period” such as Venus statuettes “of a nude female figure… made by molding and then firing a mixture of clay and powdered bone.”  Given this data, it is not a huge leap to think our Cro-Magnon sisters were enjoying cold, hard ceramic dildos in their stone-age pussies.

Fast forward to 2009 and now we can enjoy the luxury of gorgeous, designer dildos made of glazed ceramic by Lovemoiselle that turn your sex toy into a work of art.  These lovely dildos are as beautiful to behold as they are practical to use.  Why?  Ceramic is smooth and sleek, so feels great as a sex toy.  It is a non-porous, hypo-allergenic, body-safe material that makes them the most hygienic and easy to clean adult toys on the market.  Ceramic can be heated or cooled for temperature play, and little bit of your favorite lube goes long way.  Add to that, the quality of these dildos, that if cared for properly, should last a lifetime, and you have a product that is very environmentally friendly as well.

When I tell my friends about my new ceramic dildos, they always say, “Well aren’t they kind-of hard for putting in your vagina?”  The answer is, “Yes, they are hard, but the G-spot LOVES hard, unyielding objects rubbing against it.”  So, ceramic dildos are perfect for G-spot stimulation and learning to female ejaculate.

The Aveline by Lovemoiselle was designed specifically for G-spot play.  It is a slow curving toy with a rounded head that is angled to massage the G-spot once inserted about 1”-2” deep.  The curving waves of this dildo make it ergonomically comfortable to hold as well.  The base features a small, rubber plug that can be removed to fill your toy with hot or cold water, making it ideal for temperature play.  Like glass, ceramic toys should not be subjected to extreme temperature, or dropped for obvious reasons.  We wouldn’t want our lovely dildo to chip, crack or break.

The dildo is the color of bone, with a turquoise long-stemmed flower, making it simply elegant.  It comes packaged in a nice black cardboard box that is great for storage as well.  Lovemoiselle’s vision is to “help human’s sexuality to bloom by creating unique and innovative objects that combine perfect function with elegant design”, and they have definitely reached their goal with the Aveline.  Beautiful, practical, and excellent quality makes Lovemoiselle’s ceramic dildos some of the sexiest and most innovative sex toys on the market.  These toys are sure to get you squirting.

g twist G Spot Vibrating Dildo

For my very first sex toy review for Viviane’s Sex Carnival, I am happy to present to you the G-Twist compliments of VibeReview. The G-Twist is designed perfectly for G-spot stimulation and has become my latest obsession.

Before I go into the multiple benefits of the G-Twist, I’d like to tell you a bit about my preferences for sex toys, as every reviewer is somewhat subjective. Like many women, I prefer clitoral stimulation over vagina penetration. I also favor vibration over inert pleasure objects like dildos. That said, I have been known to enjoy a good humping with a dildo on occasion and in the past year having been taking pleasure in the exploration of my G-spot.

The G-Twist is designed by the German sex toy manufacturers Fun Factory , “trendsetters in high-quality silicone erotic toys.” Fun Factory makes sex toys with pleasure and quality in mind, and some of the best sex toys I have tried—like my favorite dildo the Curve dildo—are made by them.

The G-Twist lives up to the Fun Factory’s high quality standards and sophisticated design with its exquisite curving shaft and sculpted ridges that are ideal for stimulating the G-spot. This vibe also boasts extremely powerful vibrations with an easy-to-control ergonomic dial that features five settings, from mildly erotic buzzing to powerful orgasmic intensity. I’ve never owned a vibrator of this type that has so much power and can only compare it to the strength of plug-in massagers, which is a phenomenon for a penetrative vibe.

The G-Twist is covered in velvety silicone that feels astonishingly realistic. The shaft is also very flexible, so fits well to accommodate the shape and size of each individual perfectly. It possesses a respectable length and girth which would satisfy most women. The shaft is strategically curved to hit the G-spot and the swollen head firm enough to offer just the right amount of G-spot stimulation. For most women, the G-spot responds to firm pressure, stroking and even a little deep bump and grind action. The G-twist is precisely designed to accomplish deep firm pressure. Unlike many other G-spot toys that work more on the G-spot alone, the G-twist is flexible enough to offer deep satisfying full penetration that is not the least uncomfortable, despite its curve. But, that’s not all. The shaft also features elevates bumps that when used with deep stroking penetration give heightened pleasure to the whole vagina including the G-spot. This bumpy dick design must have been inspired by Rasputin, the infamous “lover of the Russian Queen” who had a large, swollen bumpy cock which was said to drive all the women wild. I can see why!

The only negative about this toy is the clitoral stimulation nub at the base didn’t quite hit the spot for me. But, then again I was too busy thrusting to hold it still long enough to pleasure my clitoris. I have found very few dual-action vibes do this well, with the exception of Rabbit vibes. But, believe me, once you get this bumpy bad boy in there, you are not going to worry about clitoral stimulation as you thrust and grind to orgasmic ecstasy.

Pros:

  • High-quality medical grade silicone makes this toy soft and flexible.
  • Hypoallergenic, nonporous, easy to sterilize and clean.
  • Stronger than average vibrations.
  • Perfect G-spot curve.
  • Excellent Rasputin pleasure bumps.
  • Superior quality from a reputable company.
  • Splash-proof.
  • Comes with free batteries and a sachet of water-based lubricant.

Cons:

  • Clitoral nub is not designed long enough for constant stimulation.
  • Not loud, but not quiet either.
  • Battery compartment is a bit difficult to open.

I would recommend this excellent sex toy to women who really want a G-spot toy that delivers intense pleasure. The G-twist is my new obsession. Even Rasputin would have been jealous!
