Product Review: Roses Flogger by Ruff Doggie Styles

August 13th, 2010 rayne No comments

Click me for a bigger view!

We’re giving this flogger away! Check this post for details!

Ooo, what’s that?

That’s the Roses Flogger by Ruff Doggie Styles, and it’s absolutely divine.

How’s it made?

We’ve owned two other floggers by Ruff Doggie Styles, and we hated the way both were made.  The leather was cheap, and stiff.  The floggers were light and felt almost fragile.  So when Rayne looked at the manufacturer of this toy, after asking to review and give it away, she got a little nervous.

The second the flogger was in our hands, though, the nervousness faded away.  Read more…

Product Review: Fetish Fantasy Zipper Head Hood by Pipedream Products

July 16th, 2010 rayne 3 comments

Ooo, what’s that?

This is the Fetish Fantasy Zipper Head Hood by Pipedream Products.  And oh my, did it scare the bejesus out of me when I requested it.

What’d it come in?

See that box in the picture? Yeah, that’s what it came in.

How’s it made?

Y’all, I measured my head for this one.  And I have a pretty big head.  It’s 23″ around at the brow line.

You have to all measure your heads, now, so I can compare and see if my head’s really as massive as I think. ~nods~

On the real, though, this mask is actually decently sized.  It’s made of black lycra with a metal zipper at the mouth and metal snaps to hold the blindfold on.  It’s about eleven (I typed “elvan” first) inches at its widest point, and about thirteen inches from top to bottom.  And it has two eye holes underneath the blindfold that are stitched together in the middle.  Read more…

Product Review: Y-Style Beaded Clamps by Spartacus Enterprises

June 4th, 2010 rayne No comments

Ooo, what’s that?

That, my fellow kinksters, is a set of Y-Style Beaded Clamps by Spartacus Enterprises.  Notice the clamps are tweezer clamps, which makes these great for just about anyone.

How’s it made?

These clamps are made of purple and black Indian beads and metal, with rubbery black tips on the three tweezer-like clamps.  There are three strands of beads threaded onto silver jewelry wire and connected with small key-rings.  The strands that are intended for the nipples are each eight and three-quarters inches long (including the clamps, not including the key rings), and the strand intended for the clit is about thirteen and three-quarters inches long, giving the entire set a length of about twenty-two and three quarters inches.

Around the clamps is a small metal ring.  This is used to close the clamps and adjust the tightness of the pinch.

What’s it for?

Decoration, mostly.  The two shorter strands attach to your nipples, and the longer strand attaches to your clit.

While these clamps do pinch some, it’s not too terribly painful.  The bead strands seem strong enough to be able to tug on the clamps, but it really doesn’t change the sensation much.  And they’re fully adjustable from “light squeeze” to “tight pinch”, though tight pinch is far less than the sensation provided by clovers, or even alligator style clamps.

These clamps are great for beginners or people who are into light to intermediate nipple play.  Read more…

Product Review: Beginner Ball Gag by Tantus

Mouth gag by Tantus
Material: Silicone
Safety:

Ooo, what’s that?

While I really enjoy the Ball Gag M and I have had for years, it is a little large.  Occasionally, when it comes out, I’ve got a cramp in my jaw.  Once I couldn’t close my mouth for some time.  I’ve been staring at the Beginner Ball Gag from Tantus for quite some time.  So I bought it.

What’d it come in?

It came in two pieces in a molded plastic shell that snapped shut.  Behind it was a cardboard insert with writing on it describing the toy.

How’s it made?

The ball gag is made of red silicone.  Real, hospital-grade silicone.  This is noteworthy because ages ago we bought a purple ball gag that claimed to be silicone and wasn’t.  After only one or two uses, it began to taste really bad and burn my lips and tongue.

It’s nonporous, phthalates and latex free and hypoallergenic.  It’s soft and squishy with a luxurious velvet surface.  And it’s shaped sort of like a pacifier.  The base is about three inches long by two inches wide at its widest point, and covers the lips when inserted.

M calls the part that goes in the mouth a “mouth plug” because it has a bulbous tip (about an inch and a half wide), then shrinks down to a smaller base (about an inch) like an anal plug.  It’s two inches long from the top of the base to the top of the ball.  The base is a half inch thick.

The straps are made of black leather with snaps on one end and velcro on the other.  They’re each sixteen inches long and slip through slits on either side of the “mouth plug”, then snap in place.  The leather is soft on both the inside and outside and a little stretchy.  Read more…

Product Review: Kookie Riding Crop by Kookie Intl

October 18th, 2009 rayne 2 comments

1061000-aOur first riding crop is about twenty-two inches long.  The handle is rubber and the shaft is metal.  And the tip is two pieces of weak leather glued and sewn to the end.  It was one of those “This really sucks but we can’t afford the alternative.” buys.

And at first, we loved it! But eventually it began to fall apart, and the leather weakened even more.  Before too long, the tip of the metal shaft, which is ridiculously sharp and poky, started to come through the leather and began leaving cuts in my skin.

So when Babeland Toys offered me the Kookie Riding Crop I was ecstatic.  I mean, look at it! It looks hella better than the one we bought from one of the local sleaze joints we call “adult bookstores”.  And, even though I love crops, I had begun to hate the one we had.

The Kookie Riding Crop is eighteen inches of leather and nylon.  The handle is a rubbery material which prevents slipping.  The shaft is weaved nylon – which definitely beats metal in impact play! – and the tip is leather.  The tip is three and one half inches long and one and three quarters inches at its widest point.  It’s all one piece folded over and sewn to the tip.  Tightly wrapped around the bottom of the leather is nylon thread to be sure the tip doesn’t slide off.  Read more…

Product Review: Nipple Clamps by Pipedream Products

September 19th, 2009 rayne No comments

I love clamps.  You guys have got to know that by now.  They are, seriously, my absolute favorite part of being a masochist.  How many bazillions of clamps there are, how many different ways they can be used and how amazing they feel.

To say I’m into nipple torture would be an understatement.

So when our first set of clovers disappeared, I was kinda bummed.  Okay, I was a lot bummed.  I’m sure they’re around here somewhere and won’t it be awesome when we find them and have two pairs? But without them, every SM and mutual masturbation scene we’ve had lately was falling flat.

Especially since we lost one of the wood clamps, too!

So, I went over to Eden Fantasys with an idea of what I wanted and started hunting.  We decided to give these a try.  See how we like them without a chain.  And I think we both kind of miss it.

But these are a great product, otherwise! Check out my full review over on Eden Fantasys.

Product Review: Rainbow Nights Paddle by Ruff Doggie Styles

September 16th, 2009 rayne No comments

I’m not really a paddle enthusiast.  I mean, I love the Slut Paddle, but that’s more of a slapper than anything.  But often, I could totally do without the oak paddle Master bought.

It’s not that I hate paddles, per se.  Just that they’re not usually my favorite toy.

I mean, there was that one time, when M put me over His knee and made me love it.  And there have been times since.  But… not always.

That being said…

I love, Love, LOVE the Rainbow Nights Paddle by Ruff Doggie Styles.  Like… for serious.  No playing.  On the real.

It’s black leather on one side and black velvet with intricate beading and stitching on the other.  The pain to pleasure ratio fluctuates between just perfect and “OMG! Am I really taking this for you?” on Master’s command.

It feels like it might be a little flimsy, but I think that’s mostly because we’re used to the solid wood.  But let me tell you, if it is flimsy, it makes up for it in performance.

Can I just say again that I love this paddle?

Product Review: Black and Blue Strap Whip by Spartacus Enterprises

September 11th, 2009 rayne No comments

black-blue-strap-whipJust forewarning any new readers, and old readers who have forgotten, that M and I are BDSM toy snobs and pretty heavy into S&M.  Any BDSM toy reviews we do are written from that perspective.

I was so excited when I put in the order for the Black and Blue Strap Whip by Spartacus from Eden Fantasys.  It’s been forever since we’ve been able to purchase a new flogger.

We love, Love, LOVE flogging toys.  Like, so much so that I didn’t even bat an eyelash, years ago, when M found a $300.00 kangaroo flogger that was absolutely gorgeous and decided to buy that instead of paying our car insurance.

Not that our car insurance was $300.00.  Just that we wouldn’t be able to pay it if we ordered the kangaroo flogger because we’d be out of money for two weeks or so.

I read the Strap Whip‘s description and wrinkled my nose a little at the length.  Twenty inches, tip to tails.  Just barely longer than our handmade suede flogger.  Probably just as light.  But that shiny, stiff leather looks like it could do some damage.  It looks like it could be a nice edition to our toy box.  Read more…

Product Review: Impressions Paddle Slut by Sportsheets

August 24th, 2009 rayne No comments

You guys hear me talk about the “Slut Paddle” a lot.  But what is it?

Impressions Paddle Slut by Sportsheets is more of a slapper, really.  It’s a leather paddle split into two pieces of leather at the end.  One side is flat and sturdy.  The other is flexible and has the word “slut” cut into it.

This paddle can pack one heck of a wallop or barely hurt the bottom.  But it takes a good swing to get the words “slut” to appear on the skin.

Product Review: Rubber Whip by Sportsheets

August 12th, 2009 rayne No comments

We picked up the Rubber Whip by Sportsheets in purple years ago.  The falls are made of silky smooth rubber.  The handle’s made of plastic.

This whip’s great for beginners to S&M but not so much for sadists and masochists of M’s and my caliber.

However, the silky texture of the falls are excellent for sensation play.
