Editor’s Pick



  • Tantus Hoss by Sammi

  • Hoss is enormous. Humongous. Gigantic. Bigger than big. He makes Randy look like a beginner’s toy (and Randy most definitely is not).


    Editor’s Note: This is a seriously impressive review because, among other things, Hoss is a seriously impressive toy. I thought it a fitting EP for an impressive edition both in number (69) and in review count (80).

Calla Lily

I was extremely excited when Eden Fantasys told me I’d be reviewing California Exotic’s Calla Lily. It is waterproof, has a rotating shaft, multiple speeds, with clitoral and G-spot stimulators. This toy sounds awesome but unfortunately it was quite the disappointment.



For starters, this toy confuses me. It’s a rabbit style vibrator, with a G-spot and clitoral stimulator while the shaft of the toy rotates. It sounds awesome, right? When I got the package and read the front and back of the box and it was all like “This toy is going to be awesome in your vagina. Get excited!” It even claims it is “Safe and pure.” Then I read the side of the box which states “This toy is for external use only.” Oh really? You mean this rabbit vibrator shouldn’t be stuck in my vagina? I then read the Instructions which once again say to use it inside me. Well what the hell am I supposed to do with this toy? So then I wondered if maybe this disclaimer was on all Cal Exotic products. Luckily, I still have the packaging for my $16.99 Cal Exotic Butterfly Kiss. There is no “Safe and Pure” label, but it also doesn’t say that it is for external use only. This makes me angry. I understand having to legally protect your company, but make all of the instructions the same please.






So how is it Safe and Pure? The Calla Lily is made of unscented TPR which is Phthalates free, Hypo-allergenic and Latex free. It is squishy and bendable while the material has a little bit of drag to it. The clear blue color is very pretty but unfortunately because it is clear, you can see some of the wiring.



I think this toy was probably great in theory, but failed in execution. It feels nice, it’s a pretty color but it just doesn’t work that well. The toy is 10 inches long, with a 4 inch circumference and an insertable length of 5 ½ inches. It is going to be way too long to stimulate most women’s G-spots and clitoris at the same time. The shaft needed to be 2 inches shorter for me. If you have a really deep G-spot this will probably work better for you than it did for me. Sadly, I could not use the clitoral stimulator at the same time I was stimulating my G-spot. This basically defeats the purpose of the rabbit design completely.



The rotating G-spot stimulator looks awesome when you turn it on. Just looking at it got me all worked up, only to find once it is inserted it has a much harder time moving around. The shaft of this toy rotates in 3 patterns. The tip of the shaft makes a come here motion, alternating semi and alternating full circles. There is a small bullet in the tip of the shaft to add vibration while it is rotating. It doesn’t move very well when it is inside me. I could feel it moving and it is nice, but not enough to rock my world.



I give this toy some credit for the clitoral stimulator. The clitoral bullet also has 3 vibration patterns. It flutters rapidly and is the biggest redeeming quality of this toy. I actually wound up giving up on using it as it is supposed to be used (or not supposed to be used depending on what instructions you follow) and turned it upside down. I placed the clitoral bullet against my clit and put the shaft against my ass.

The vibrator makes a weird dying buzz (it sounds like someone stepped on a robot cat). Obviously this isn’t very discrete… unless you own a robot cat. There are 2 bullets in the Calla Lily which probably contributes to some of the noise. The Calla Lily uses 3 AA batteries. I know this is silly, but it drives me crazy when toys use 3 batteries instead of 2 or 4. Anyway, the battery holder slides out of the bottom of the toy, making it easy to remove the batteries after every use.

The Calla Lily can be cleaned with soap and water or with alcohol as stated in the Instructions. You should wash it before and after every use. It is water proof, so there is no need to worry about destroying it while washing. The instructions state that you should use water based lubricant with the Calla Lily. Silicone lube would also probably be fine. I used a water based lubricant just because I prefer them.

Honestly, I really didn’t like this toy. (If that wasn’t already obvious) I tried really hard to make it work for me, but it just doesn’t. If you’re built like me and have a shallow G-spot, you are probably going to be very disappointed in this toy. I suggest using a toy to find your g-spot, place your finger on how far the toy is inside you and then measure it before you buy this toy. Even if you do have a deep g-spot, I don’t recommend buying the Calla Lily.

Clitty Clitty Bang Bang!!!

Tickle Her Pink is a clitoral arousal gel made by Pow Products. The same company that makes Oooh! that’s it. I love arousal lubes and this one is great!

The product works by increasing blood flow to the clitoral area, which increases stimulation. The women who created Tickle Her Pink’s website states…
L-Arginine and L-Ornithine - amino acids which are scientifically proven to increase blood flow to the area where they are applied
Damiana - an aphrodisiac
Frescolate – a non-irritating topical stimulant
Orange flower extract, witch hazel and aloe vera – botanicals which soothe skin
Together these ingredients are the key to a great clitoral orgasm!

I don’t know if this is true, I just know it works great! I cannot get enough of it!

Ingredients: Hamamelisdacea hamamelis virginiana L, Propylene Glycol, Arginine, Ornithine, Turnera Diffusa Leaf Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange Fruit Extract), Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Since it is a water based lubricant, you can safely use it with any toy your heart desires. This product is also safe to use with condoms.

This product should not be used if you are pregnant or have any STD.

To use the product apply a pea size amount to the tissue under the clitoris with your finger. A little goes along way. Almost instantly I felt a cooling and tingling sensation. It rubs right in so there is no additional clean up when using Tickle Her Pink.

This product is awesome! It really helps me orgasm and the orgasms are very intense. It can be used with a partner or alone. When using it alone, I really like to use it with a toy that has wings or ears. The fluttering of wings + Tickle Her Pink brings me to climax extremely fast.

Some arousal lubes have caused irritation for me in the past. I never felt any burning or discomfort while using Tickle Her Pink.

The product smells like peppermint. I wished it tasted like a peppermint, instead it taste similar to a cough drop. However the taste is not bad. It is safe to use during oral sex.

The company claims this 1 ounce bottle contains 40 applications. That may not seem like much when you’re paying $9.99 for the product. That breaks down to around $.25 an orgasm. I am willing to pay a lot more than $.25 for a great orgasm.



I love the packaging! It comes in a cute little pink box with a cartoon pin up girl on the front. You can throw this part away, unless you really want to keep it.

Inside there is a 1 ounce bottle of Tickle Her Pink. The bottle is white with a black top. The pin up girl is on the bottle as well. The bottle is small enough that it can be stored almost anywhere. The bottle states that it is a Clitoral Orgasm Cream but unless someone read that, they'd never know what it was. The back of the bottle includes the instructions in several languages.

I love this product! There is no doubt in my mind that I'll be buying this product again soon. I plan to go through all 40 uses pretty quickly! I highly recommend Tickle Her Pink. It’s not very expensive and it works extremely well. If you’ve ever been curious about arousal lubes, this is a great one to try.

Compared to Ooooh! that's it!
Tickle Her Pink is made by the same company that makes Ooooh! that’s it! Tickle Her Pink provides clitoral stimulation and Ooooh! that’s it! provides G-spot stimulation. How do the two compare? Tickle Her Pink is the less expensive choice. Both products are amazing, but Tickle Her Pink is easier to apply. The easier application means more of the product is being applied to desired location, so Tickle Her Pink also works better than Ooooh! that’s it. Oooh! that’s it comes with a helpful guide on finding the G-spot and tips and positions for stimulating the G-spot. They’re both great products and I enjoy using both at different times. If you were trying to decide between the 2 products and already know where your G-spot is and have G-spot orgasms, I would recommend purchasing Tickle Her Pink.

Ooooh! Baby!


Image by Pow Products

Oooh! That's it! is a G-spot stimulator made by Pow Products. The gel stimulates the G-spot, increasing its size and sensitivity. I've been eyeing this product for a little while, but was always a bit hesitant of the price tag. I’m glad I finally caved and purchased it from EdenFantasys

This one ounce bottle is pure G-spot bliss. While 1 ounce is not that much for paying $17.99, it is worth every penny. You only need a dime size amount, so 1 ounce is not going to run out extremely fast…. Well unless you’re like me and use it constantly.



The hot pink box it comes in is adorable! There is an image of a woman on the box, with an itty bitty waist and sexy hips. I love the heart over her vajayjay!

It is safe to use with condoms. There is a warning on the bottle, that states Oooh! that’s it! should not be used by pregnant women or if you have an STD.



A great little guide on where to find the G-spot is included. It contains an image of where it is located, how to find it and what positions make it easiest to stimulate the G-spot. If you already know where your G-spot is, this may be very helpful to let your partner read it. I know where my G-spot is but I read the book and learned a thing or 2. If you’re the Queen of the G-spot and your partner is the King, pass it on to a friend who doesn’t know where to find hers. Share your sexual knowledge.

Once you know where your G-spot is, sit on your bed (you don’t have to sit, but it is easier to do it sitting than to apply it lying down). With your finger or a toy insert a dime size amount on to your G-spot and rub it in. This isn’t the easiest thing to accomplish, as you have to get it on your G-spot and not all over the inside of your vagina. I think this is honestly why you have to apply a dime size amount. Luckily your G-spot will still come out to play. Almost instantly you’ll feeling a cooling tingling sensation. Now grab a toy or a boy or girl or both and have fun. The lube is water based and therefore safe to use with your toys. The product absorbs into the skin so there is very little clean up after.

The minty smell of Ooooh! that’s it! is delightful. The fragrance is always a nice suprise when I open the bottle. As yummy as it smells, I would not recommend tasting this product. I did not try it, but I can't imagine that it would be a very good idea.

I tried Ooooh! that’s it! with multiple toys. Mona was my favorite toy to use, but they all felt great. It works fine lying on the bed, but I preferred using my Liberator Wedge/Ramp or Liberator Zepplin Cocoon. Both of these items make it easier to reach my G-spot and make it easier for me to have a mind blowing G-spot orgasm.

It is really hard to make me orgasm. When I say really hard, I mean it's a miracle when I orgasm. The fact that this can help make me climax is incredible. This isn’t a guaranteed orgasm, but it has done wonders for me and I highly recommend giving it a try. I know it is a little pricey, but it is really worth it as you can’t put a price tag on mind blowing sex. I have no doubt in my mind I’ll be purchasing more of this in the future.

Lip Stain

I love makeup, maybe a little too much. I own over 90 shades of MAC eyeshadow, over 100 colors if you count other brands. I love lipstick, stain, gloss, etc. Hell, I even contour & highlight my chest. The one place I've never considered putting makeup is my pussy. I didn't realize I needed to. Luckily My New Pink Button was aware of my flaws.



My New Pink Button is a temporary dye that adds color to your labia. The product is intended to temporarily correct the loss of color that happens over time. The kit comes with 20 applicators, a mixing dish, dye and instructions. There is nothing on the website that indicates how long this product last, just that it is temporary.

It comes in 4 colors. Marilyn is for fair skinned girls. Bettie is a hot pink color that blends in with a woman’s skin tone. Ginger is a rosy color intended for darker skin tones. Audry is the darkest color and is a bold burgundy pink.

I wear makeup, I highlight my hair, I have implants, I wax everything, I spend too much on clothes, I wear heals and now I have to wonder if my labia isn’t a pretty enough shade of pink? No man has ever said, “You know, I’m really into you but the color of your pussy is a deal breaker.” I honestly don’t have time to worry about one more thing.

I’m sure there are women who are already genuinely concerned about this. For those women, go ahead. Who am I to tell you that it is wrong? If it makes you happy and comfortable to color your labia, go for it.

Is this weird? Yes. Am I curious to see how this works? Yes. Would I try it if it was in front of me? Probably….

Happy National Condom Week!

Cover your stump before you hump

February 14-21 is National Condom Week in the US. In honor of this week, I've posted 5 great condom commercials. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

You can't go wrong, if you shield your dong



If you really love her, wear a cover



If you slip between her thighs, condomize




Before you penetrate, hide your magistrate




Don't be a fool, cover your tool




Don't be silly, protect your Willie
