A while back, I reviewed Chocolate Massage and Body Oil, for Babeland. Remember that? I was so taken with how wonderful that the oil was, that I just had to try the Sweet Beauty brand Organic Chocolate Body Creme. Not only was I excited that it was from the same makers of the amazing oil I'd loved previously, but it is also from the wonderfully sex positive people at Babeland. Win.
Ingredients are as follows: Distilled water, grape seed oil, shea butter oil, cupaucu butter and babassu seed oil infused with organic fair trade cocoa and nibs, cocoa extract, cocoa absolute, emulsifying wax NF, glycerin, stearic acid, natural chocolate flavor oil, honeysuckle extract, and citric acid.
The cream comes in two sizes, two ounces or eight ounces. The jar pictured is the two ounce jar. Both jars come with a screw-top lid, and the cream itself is so thick that if you were to turn the jar upside down, the cream isn't going anywhere until you tell it to. Nice, yes?
Sweet Beauty Chocolate Body Cream
As for its uses, if you choose to use this like a regular hand and body cream, a little goes a long way! Start out with a small dab, and add more as you desire. If you put too much on at once, the thickness of the cream will make it hard to rub in. Always put less than you think you need, and you can always add more to it. If you put this on like I mentioned, just a little bit at a time, it absorbs into the skin quite easily and won't leave you feeling greasy, but will leave you smelling like a chocolate bar.
Here's A View Of The Cream Itself
Now, remember, smelling like a chocolate bar isn't going to excuse you from anything you normally wouldn't do.
"Like what," you ask?
When we first got this, Master picked it up and slathered it all over his arm. Then, he dangled said arm in my face. Of course I tried to eat him. He smelled like food! Did I get away with it? Nope. As it turns out, I'm not supposed to bite him, even if he does smell delicious. And trust me, I used every excuse I could think of to try to sway him. Chocolate body cream doesn't make it OK to eat Master. Lesson learned. ::sigh::
The consistency of the cream is almost like body butter, to me. It is very thick and stays where you put it. It doesn't run or drip in this slightest. I live in Colorado, which is quite dry and arid, and this cream is a wonderful treat for my skin. My nose isn't complaining either.
The little jar would be wonderful in a gift basket, in a stocking, or anywhere else you need a small present. It is absolutely wonderful, and I can't imagine anyone not enjoying it. 5 Moist Paws:
Thank you again, to the fabulous people over at Babeland, for allowing me the chance to try out this great cream in exchange for an honest and fair review.

If there is one thing that I really love, it is the objectification of being able to be human furniture, for a time. The Extreme Compliance Kit is one such way to turn your sexy partner into a sexy piece of furniture. It also works quite well for humiliation and maid service! I've seen other versions of gags like this, but they were very, very expensive, and not accessable to your average kinkster. Thankfully, the wonderfully kind people over at Fascinations sent me this set for review! Thank you so much!
The Gag Itself
Here's a close up view of the gag without any attachments on it. There are things I like about it, and things which I don't like. First off, the straps could be much, much more secure. Instead of being a buckle, they are neoprene and nylon, and you use D-rings to secure the gag in place. The ball itself is very big, at 1.75" in diameter. Personally, I found this to be a bit on the small side. Keep in mind that I am an advanced gag user, and am used to wearing ball gags which are 2" or larger. I also have a large jaw. Master tried to put the ball in his mouth (to test for size), and he had to force it in. Your average jaw isn't going to find this a comfortable stretch, so keep that in mind.
The front of the gag has a very heavy duty metal piece, which you'll use to attach your attachments to. The front of the gag itself is some sort of fabric (I'm not sure the type) which is over some sort of harder material (possibly plastic). The package doesn't say. Because of the fact that the gag isn't made of sterilizable materials, I wouldn't recommend sharing it, unfortunately.
There were no instructions with the gag, and it took both me and Master some time to figure out how to attach things. Let me save you the trouble though. What you'll do is take the outside metal piece on the gag itself, and push the outer metal layer back. Then, take whichever attachment you want, and push it gently into the gag. You'll hear a soft "click" letting you know you've done this properly. Let go of the outer metal ring, and you should be good to go. I recommend taking the gag off your partner each time you're going to change out the attachment. This way, you're not pushing into their face which could potentially hurt their jaw. Now, let's check out the attachments.
Leash Attachment For The Extreme Compliance Kit
Here's the leash attachment. The leash itself has the same "click in" base as the other pieces, but the very bottom link of the chain has a clip you can use to attach something a bit longer. As you can see in the picture, the leash provided is very short. It is a bit longer than 12", which means you won't have as much versatility with it as other leashes. Any leash you have should clip in nicely instead though, if you desire.
Using A Different Leash Allows More Versatility
Be very careful when you are leading your "pet" around though. Bear in mind that their jaw is being stretched out a lot, and you don't want to pull too much and cause too much stress on their teeth.
Dildo Attachment
The dildo attachment is 6" long, 1.5" in diameter, and doesn't feel entirely solid when you squeeze it. I'm not entirely sure what it is made out of, but the box says it is made from jelly. I've had plenty of jelly toys in the past, and this looks and feels unlike any jelly toy I've ever owned. In either case, jelly is very porous, so I wouldn't share this with anyone you are not fluid bonded with, unless you put a condom on it first.
The box shows the dildo being used by a male switch and he is pretending to penetrate his female partner (they don't want to show nudity on the box, clearly). I really don't know how well fucking someone with a dildo attached to your face would work in real life. That would be a whole lot of neck strain (and if you are like me and have a wonky neck anyway, you won't even want to attempt it). However, it could be fun being the "human dildo" and letting someone climb on your face and ride you! I don't think we'll be using it for that purpose, but just wearing a dildo on the other end of your gag is pretty humiliating in itself, and gives new meaning to the term "Gag Kisses".
The Toilet Bowl Brush Makes My Toilet Duties A Bit Easier
The toilet brush attachment is softer than most regular toilet bowl brushes I've seen. You can use it just like you're meant to, but you'll have to throw it out after a couple of months because you won't be able to sterilize it after use. You can also use it (like the dildo) simply to humiliate the person who is wearing it. That's what we have done with it so far. Although Master does like to put my face pretty close to the toilet bowl to increase the humiliation further, as you can see.
Brust Attachment
On the box, the brush attachment is recommended for either sweeping up small piles on the floor, or for tickling your partner with. I highly recommend you choose one of those tasks and stick with it. The brush isn't exactly sterilizable, and you wouldn't want your partner to get covered in dirt. That's not sexy at all.
Ashtray Attachment
My absolute favorite part of the set, is the little bowl. You can use it for all kinds of things, but my favorite is to be Master's ash tray. This isn't a great idea for anyone who has allergies, or other problems with smoke. However, I found it incredibly hot to be able to serve Master in this way.
Human Snack Tray
Alternatively, if smoking isn't your thing, you could use this as a snack container. We have pretzels in ours above, but you could put anything in there you want. Just be sure to wash it very, very well if you also use it as an ashtray. Overall, there are a lot of very cool things to love about this set, but there is one major drawback for me. The fact that the strap which holds this to your head just isn't made very well really detracts from the piece as a whole. In order to keep the set on, I basically have to hold it in place by the ballgag between my teeth. While the pieces are each plastic and painted to look like metal (with the exception of the actual piece on the front of the gag which is quite heavy duty, and definitely metal!) they still add an extra weight to the gag, and make it more difficult to hold in. Basically, I find that this is not a long-term gag for that reason, and have to take breaks with it every twenty or thirty minutes.
Still, anyone interested in the extreme humiliation factors that this piece has should check it out. I'm giving it four paws.
Thank you so much, Fascinations, for allowing me to review this set in exchange for an honest and fair review.

I'm probably the biggest fan of Tantus that there is. If they had an international Tantus Dildo Day, I'd buy a cake, balloons, and throw a party for all my closest friends. No surprise then, that when the amazing sex toys store Vibrator.com offered to send me the Tantus Throb Silicone Dildo, that I jumped up and down and squeeled like a pig.
This realistic dong is made from 100% silicone. That means that it is sterilizable. You can bleach it with a 10% bleach solution, put it in the top rack of your dishwasher, boil it for a minimum of three minutes, use a toy cleaner, or even use plain soap and water if you're in a pinch.
The Throb is not remarkable in length or width, having only 5.5" insertable, and 1.4" in diameter. The main event with this toy is, instead, its magnificent texture! As you can see from looking at my picture, the Throb has a whole lot of very exaggerated veins running the entire length of it. I've been enjoying texture more and more lately, so I thought the Throb would be a good fit for me. Unfortunately, I had very mixed results.
The first thing we did with the toy was to put it inside me, and then Master had me keep my legs together and roll onto my tummy. He took one of the paddles we have and used it on my ass and thighs while I kept the Throb in place. This felt marvelous. I really enjoyed being hit, all the while keeping the toy there. Every time the paddle fell, the toy would shift ever-so-slightly, and nudge my g-spot. Many people talk about the "sweet spot" in regards to spanking. This made my sweet spot all the sweeter.
I am sad to say, that is where the enjoyment of this toy ended for me. When I tried to use it vaginally on its own, it was just too thin and too short to do much for me, and on top of that the ridges were uncomfortable. I thought about perhaps using this toy for anal, since it has a good sturdy base, but that's a no-go for me too. The toy is definitely a bit too textured for me to enjoy that way, and it is also impossible to clean by hand.
As I mentioned previously, you have a whole lot of options when it comes to cleaning this toy. If you choose to use any of the "by hand" methods, then cleaning this toy is going to be a pain in the ASS. All of those little ridges hold onto dirt and make it very hard to clean. I find that the best way to really clean this is to just boil it for that reason, even if you're just using it by yourself. And yes, because it is sterilizable, if you properly clean this toy (boil, bleach, etc) you're welcome to share it.
Overall, this is a fun toy, but I only enjoy it during spanking. While I think that many people who really enjoy texture will love this toy, I'm not a big fan. This was my first Tantus disappointment. I'm going to give it 3 paws:Thank you so much, to Vibrator.com, for allowing me to review this toy in exchange for an honest and fair review.
