Suntouched Candle

You guys already know by now that I'm a bit of a hippie, and while I'm no longer vegan, I still strive to use only products which are, with the exception of medications.  The Suntouched Skinny Dip Candle by Earthly Body is just that.  It comes in a cute hand-sized tin and has very simple ingredients, all vegan.

Suntouched Skinny Dip Candle

The ingredients are as follows: Soybean, coconut, cannabis, apricot, jojoba, and avocado oils, and vitamin E.  All simple to pronounce (with the exception of jojoba, which Master always gets wrong and pronounces "Joe-joe-bah").  And it smells heavenly.

The scent itself is very soft and a bit difficult to describe.  It reminds me of the scent of beach sand and also a mixture of flowers.  Think "Bouquet at the beach".  If you're not partial to beach scents or floral scents, you may not like this.

There are directions on the bottom of the candle which tell you to trim the wick to one quarter of an inch.  We did this, and the candle burned fine.  The bottom of the candle also tells you to burn the candle until the pool of wax reaches the edge of the tin.  The first time we had intentions of doing this, we lit the candle, and started with our usual play.  About an hour later we went back to check on the candle, and unfortunately it still hadn't burned to the edge of the container.  We finished up playing together and decided to just let the candle burn until it was bed time to see just how long it would take.  Another three hours slipped by, and the candle had yet to melt to the edges of the little metal tin.

We decided to blow it out and wait for the weekend.  The weekend arrived, and I lit the candle first thing when I got up.  Unfortunately, even burning all day long the candle still had not burned to the edges of the tin.  We decided to use it anyway.  I dipped my fingers into the tin and got just the smallest amount of oil on my fingers.  It was silky and felt wonderful.  The oil itself was very smooth, and reminded me of silicone lubricant.  I never felt sticky but I did feel a tiny bit greasy even after rubbing this into my thigh.  The good news?  I smelled amazing.

We did not use this candle for wax play purposes, and I think it would be a bit expensive for that.  The tin recommends using this candle as a daily moisturizer, but again, it's a bit of an expensive candle for me to want to commit to that either.  However, I think this is a wonderful little candle to have out to brighten the scents in a room, or to provide ambiance and a good massage.

One word of caution: we had a couple of very hot days here recently, and the unburned portion of my candle got a bit melted.  If you use your air conditioning a lot, you probably won't have a problem.  If you either don't have air conditioning or if you don't use it much you may want to put your candle in the refrigerator during the hot summer months when you're not using it.  I will say though that upon re-burning, the candle looks just fine in the tin again.  So, the melting didn't affect it too badly.

On the whole, I really enjoy this candle, and I especially love that it is vegan.  It does leave you a bit greasy though in addition to not melting to the edges of the tin, so I'm going to give this candle four paws.Thank you so much, Fascinations, for allowing me to try out this wonderful smelling candle in exchange for an honest and fair review.

Extreme Compliance, All In One Convenient Kit

Filed under Sex Toy Reviews by on April 28, 2011 at 12:01 am {8 comments}

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.

Neck And Wrist Restraints

Filed under Sex Toy Reviews by on April 17, 2011 at 12:01 am {21 comments}

As a major fan of the Sportsheets company, I got a little quiver in my cunt when I saw this Neck And Wrist Restraint Set by Sportsheets, at Fascinations.  Did I really need another set of soft cuffs?  Nope.  But you know what?  I did need that long, thick nylon cord with all the D rings in it.  Now that?  That I could think of uses for.

Sportsheets Neck and Wrist Restraints Set Box

Here's a view of the box.  The set comes with one smallish G-Clip, one neoprene collar with a 2" width, and one set of neoprene wrist cuffs.  While the box has two sets pictured, I wanted to be clear that the set only comes with one.  The set also only comes with one G-Clip.  However, you can always pick up some at your local hardware store for .50, they are really inexpensive.

Soft Bondage Neoprene Cuffs

Here's a view of the cuffs that most Sportsheets equipment come with.  They are soft, and neoprene, and great for anyone who likes to be incapable of getting away, yet would prefer a more quick-release style bondage.  These definitely feel less strict than they are, so if you're new to bondage these are a good first set.

Neoprene Collar

Here's a view of the collar.  The collar is made from neoprene and nylon, same as the cuffs.  This is wonderful if you'd like to do a bit of bondage in the shower, since you don't have to worry about getting it wet.  Vegans can also enjoy being bound without the use of animal products.  In use, this collar worked really well.  I could put the entire weight of my head on it (leaning back against my bonds wearing this) and it never even came slightly undone.  As I said about the cuffs, this is much more sturdy than it looks.  Also, due to the fact that the cuffs and collar are both velcro, they will fit a wide range of wrists or ankles, and necks.

One of the most basic things you can do with the neck and wrist restraints

Here's a view of the first thing Master did with me and the restraints.  We wanted to show you the restraints first only with things you could get from the box.  There are five pieces with the box: the collar, two cuffs, the nylon piece in the middle, and one G-Clip.  You can also switch where the wrists are placed, anywhere along the length of the nylon piece.  The nylon piece is 19" long, and 2" wide.  It is very thick, and very sturdy, and also built to last.

Neck and Wrist Restraints Set

You can (if your partner is flexible enough) attach G-clips to the wrist and leg cuffs of your partner, to make them pretty helpless.  As you can see here, you don't have to stick with the wrist cuffs which come with the set.  While they are more than adequate, feel free to substitute your favorite pair!

With rope and extra g-clips

You are not limited to the items which come in the set.  Feel free to experiment and have fun!  Pictured above* you'll see Master strung rope through the D-rings and used the g-clips on my nipples to make it even harder for me to move or escape.  I loved this.

Neck and wrist restraints on the porch

If you're adventurous and brave, you could even use this set outside on your porch railing.  Watch out and make sure you're not in view of children though.  This just works really great to attach yourself to other items.  The nylon strap can be folded over items to create a sort of "tether".

Close up of the nylon strap.

Here's a close up of the nylon strap on the railing.  As you can see, we used two G-clips to anchor the strap to the railing.  Colorado is windy, and we wouldn't want it to blow off!

On the porch, in my neck and wrist restraints by sportsheets.

We really had a whole lot of fun with these restraints.  They are incredibly versatile, and there's so little that I can think that this strap would NOT work for.  While not pictured, this would also be great as a hogtie restraint.  You could decide where to place the feet of the person you're working with, based on their flexibility.  You needn't use the collar the set comes with if you don't like, as it is easily removable to put your own favorite collar in.

Neck and wrist restraints as a leash.

Master got a lot of amusement out of sliding his belt through the part which the collar was meant to go through, and then cliping the base of the nylon strap to my collar, like a leash.  Then, I was stuck to him wherever he wanted to go!  It doesn't get much more fun than that. :)

Cleaning is a bit of a chore.  If you happen to get this dirty, you can put it in a lingerie bag in the washing machine, but do NOT put it in the dryer.  The dryer will melt down the nylon, since nylon is heat sensitive.  Instead, you could just hang this up to dry, or clip it to your porch for a while, like we did above.

Really, when it comes to the Neck and Wrist Restraints, it is hard to not find tons and tons of uses for it.  This is a versatile piece of equipment that will last you for years to come (if taken care of properly), and will bring you plenty of joy.  I am giving it 5 sturdy stars:

Thank you so much, Fascinations, for allowing me the chance to try out this great set in exchange for an honest and fair review.

Asylum Mouth Restraint

Filed under Sex Toy Reviews by on March 27, 2011 at 12:01 am {7 comments}

Gags?  I adore gags.  Ball gags, bit gags, fabric gags, tape gags, ring gags, penis gags, as a girl with an oral fixation, I like 'em all.  Browsing the Fascinations website, I found this little beauty.  It looked like a spreader gag combined with a ring gag!  I had to try it out for myself.

The gag arrived in speedy fashion, as all packages from Fascinations do.  The box was plain with no markings indicating what was inside.  It even said "Apple Distributing" as a return address, instead of "Fascinations".  Discretion is Fascination's middle name.

A view of the box!

Here is a view of the toy in its box.  The box is actually very well done, and very colorful!  The back of the box shows a "patient" in a straight jacket wearing the gag.  It is clear not only from the brand name, but from the box and advertising that the products in the Asylum line are catering to those who have a medical fetish.  I want to state up front that I do not have a medical fetish, and that medical procedures in general scare me in a bad way.  However, gags themselves are incredibly hot to me, and once you remove the packaging of the box, there really is nothing to make you think "medical fetish" just by looking at this gag.

The construction of the gag is on the better side of average.  They used a nylon cord instead of a leather one, and there are a couple of seams in the metal of the gag.  Also, the buckle that secures the gag in place needed to be pinched shut at the bottom of its "hinge" because it kept coming undone.  Once we did that though, it was golden.  The gag is very adjustable, and will fit from 12"-26".  This should cover a wide variety of people, and once you get this on properly, it is very comfortable.

Wearing the Asylum Gag

 

In order to get this on, you'll want to go tighter than you think you normally would.  Metal can chip teeth if it slips around in your mouth.  What we do is place the gag gently in my mouth, as far back as it will go.  Then, Master tightens it one notch tighter than we usually do.  It's not uncomfortable, but gives me a bit less chance of the gag accidentally sliding around in my mouth.  Word to the wise: you are going to drool a ridiculous amount with this gag in. 

Once the gag is in properly, I didn't feel any pain or discomfort from wearing it.  I cannot swallow at all with the gag in.  The ring in the center of the gag is only about 1.25" in diameter.  For me, I feel like this is too small.  Not only can Master not fit his cock through (ouchies!), but it doesn't feel like it stretches my jaw open at all.  Part of what I really like about gags in general, is that they force my mouth into uncomfortable positions or make my jaw feel "stretched".  This isn't really a good gag for that unless you have a very small jaw.

When the gag is removed, I get a couple of pink lines along my mouth where the metal lines rest against my cheek.  (See picture).  These never last me more than a thirty minutes to an hour, but it is something to be aware of if you're going to go out somewhere right after you use this. 

Metal is not porous, so if you want to share this with a partner, you can.  Just be sure to clean it properly first.  The box recommends putting this in the washing machine.  I did this without much issue.  A few things to keep in mind:

1- There are some rough edges to the metal part of the gag.  Because of this, you will want to make sure to put the gag in a lingerie bag so it doesn't snag on anything.  You will also want to make sure the only thing in the lingerie bag is the gag, or else risk snagging your delicates. 

2- The gag is going to clank around like mad in the washing machine, even if you put it in there with a full load of laundry.  However, I didn't notice any damage done to either the gag or the washing machine when I washed it this way.

3- The Asylum gag straps are made from nylon.  Nylon is sensitive to heat.  If you put this in the dryer, put it on delicate to prevent shrinkage.

You can also use more traditional methods to clean your gag such as: plenty of soap and water, 10% bleach solution, or a toy cleaner. 

Overall, this is a fun little gag, which would definitely have been improved by a better strap.  It is still quite inexpensive, and a totally unique gag to own.  I'm giving it four paws.

Thank you so much, Fascinations, for allowing me the chance to try out this intriguing gag in exchange for an honest and fair review.
