What is the FusyFun Wave?

I’ve never seen anything quite like this product before… It’s essentially 4 toys in 1: a vibrating butt plug, perineum stimulator, and cock ring, plus a thin bendable ‘arm’ that lies along the top side of the penis shaft during penetrative sex, stimulating the receptive partner’s G-spot or prostate.

In that sense, it’s similar to something like a We-Vibe – except that it’s the penis-owner who wears this one, not the vulva-owner. And because that’s the case, it’s not just meant for vaginal sex – you can use it during anal sex too, which is trickier/less advisable to do with something that lacks a flared base like a We-Vibe.

The overall effect of the FusyFun Wave, then – at least theoretically – is that the ‘top’ will get their prostate stimulated by the vibrating butt plug as they thrust, their boner will be extra-hard because of the constriction provided by the cock ring, and their partner’s G-spot or prostate will be massaged by the vibrator on each thrust. Intrigued? Me fuckin’ too! Read on for my thoughts…

Things I like about the FusyFun Wave

  • This toy’s concept is genuinely quite inventive, and each of its elements works well together. I’m rarely in favor of multi-tasking toys, since I think it’s almost always better to just do one thing and do it right – but the combo of cock ring, butt plug, and perineum stimulator is a great one, and makes penetrative sex even more pleasurable for penis-owners who like prostate/perineal stim.
  • This toy has two motors, each separately controllable. One powers the butt plug and the other powers everything else, although there is a bit of vibration transfer between the two. I love when a multi-motor toy lets you control each one on its own like this, so that you can (for example) still enjoy the anal vibrations while the rest of the toy is shut off, or vice-versa.
  • You can control the Wave in two different ways: either via the button directly on the toy itself, or using the little remote it comes with. The remote is super convenient and means you can change the settings without having to reach all the way down there every time, which would be especially annoying during partnered sex!
  • The motor in the butt plug portion of the toy is surprisingly strong and rumbly! So much so, in fact, that for my partner, it didn’t even matter that the plug isn’t curved – it stimulated her prostate beautifully anyhow, boosting arousal and intensifying orgasms.
  • The cock ring is stretchy enough that it was always comfortable for my partner, whose dick’s on the larger side. (However, as with any cock ring, generally you shouldn’t leave it on for more than 20-30 minutes at a time, tops.)
  • In theory, you could bend the vaginal arm upward so it hits the clit during intercourse instead of the G-spot. (However, as described below, the motor of that part of the toy is extremely buzzy, so I prefer to use a separate, rumblier clitoral vibe for that purpose.)
  • The instruction manual made me laugh, particularly the part that says chatting openly with your partner about your desires is step one of using their product (very true, and rarely addressed by sex toy companies!) and the part that describes two men using this product together for anal sex as being “filled to the brim for him & him.” More sex toys should have funny instruction manuals tbh 😂
  • FusyFun’s customer service was great in the interaction I had with them – there was a battery issue with the remote of the first Wave they sent us, and they sent out a new one as soon as we let them know. Kudos!

Things I don’t like about the FusyFun Wave

  • Unfortunately, one of the worst things about the toy is also one of the most important: the motor that powers the cock ring, the perineum stimulator, and the bendable arm that goes into the vagina. It’s much buzzier and weaker than the prostate-focused motor, so it’s just not very stimulating and can cause some temporary desensitization after a while. That being said, I find buzzy vibration more tolerable on my G-spot than on my clit, especially when there’s motion/thrusting involved.
  • While it’s great that each motor has 9 modes (3 steady speeds followed by 6 patterns), it is annoying that there is only one button to control each, so if you want to get back to a previous setting, you have to either press the button enough times that it loops back around, or just turn the toy off and then on again.
  • My partner felt that they wouldn’t be able to thrust at full speed/intensity because the toy’s vaginal arm could be scrapey or cervix-pokey for me in that case. She also felt that this toy was unsuitable for cowgirl position because the vaginal arm would frequently fall out and need to be readjusted. So, to target the G-spot while using this toy, your best bet is some version of missionary position, thrusting at a slow-to-medium speed/intensity.
  • It only has a 60-minute battery life, although admittedly I wouldn’t tend to expect much better from a dual-motor toy at this price point ($55.90 at the time that I’m writing this!).
  • It’s only splashproof (IPX6), not fully waterproof – so you can wash it in the sink but shouldn’t use it in a bath, pool, etc.

Final thoughts

Who’s the ideal user for the FusyFun Wave? I’d say it’s someone who fits at least one of the following criteria:

  • You or your partner likes prostate vibration and would like to experience it during vaginal and/or anal sex
  • You or your partner likes G-spot vibration and would like to experience it during vaginal sex
  • You already enjoy using vibrating butt plugs, cock rings, and/or perineal stimulators during penetrative sex and would like a singular product that does all of the above, for convenience’s sake
  • You’re a sex toy nerd who collects (or simply curious about) unusual toys

The weak and buzzy external motor and the not-quite-perfected design notwithstanding, this is an interesting vibe that brings something new to the table (or to the bed, as the case may be). Like the We-Vibe and its ilk, the Wave seeks to make penetrative sex more pleasurable for everyone, while allowing you to maintain the intimacy and closeness that many people enjoy about that type of sex. If that sounds like something you’d be into, maybe wave hello to the Wave! 👋 🌊

Review: Device Bondage Fleshlight Gas Mask

Kate Sloan
Gas mask, sans Fleshlight

One thing I’ve always loved about kinksters is our ingenuity. We have the wonderful superpower of being able to see the potential hotness in just about anything – and we can be wildly creative in seeking to fulfill our fantasies.

One such example is the Fleshlight gas mask. Let’s talk about it!

Clear-lens version (left) and blacked-out lens version (right), plus Fleshlight before being trimmed to size (below)

What is the Fleshlight gas mask?

Devised by the delightfully devious folks at Device Bondage, this product is an old-timey, military-style gas mask, which has been modified so that you can slip a Fleshlight Aviator insert (included) through the mouth.

When someone face-fucks you while you’re wearing this mask, your mouth is full of Fleshlight material and dick. Essentially, your mouth is operating as the hard casing normally found around a Fleshlight that keeps it tight and contained.

The company offers the gas mask with either clear lenses or blacked-out ones (see the above image for a comparison). Clear lenses are better for the voyeuristically inclined, and may also be a smart choice for beginners to breath play (or any of the other kinks mentioned below), as they’ll allow your partner to check in on you more easily mid-scene. Blacked-out lenses are better for those of us who enjoy dehumanization or sensory deprivation, although it’s worth noting that they aren’t fully opaque – just enough light comes through that I was able to navigate around my bedroom without tripping over all the furniture.

Included along with the gas mask itself was the following items:

  • A new-in-box Fleshlight Aviator stroker
  • A box-cutter/utility knife, which you’re supposed to use to manually trim the Fleshlight insert, since many users will not want 6+ inches of “SuperSkin™” in their mouth (more on this when I talk about my experience below)
  • A safety notice, explaining that this device “can pose a risk of restricting air supply” and smartly suggesting that doms and subs alike do a “trial run” prior to actually using the product, to make sure they know how to use it comfortably and safely (more safety tips below)
Included box-cutter/utility knife for trimming the Fleshlight insert

What kinds of kinksters might enjoy the Fleshlight gas mask?

Oh, where to even begin?! I’ll just go alphabetically – you might enjoy this product if you’re into any of the following kinks/fetishes:

  • Anonymous sex
  • Breath play & gagging
  • Cock worship
  • Consensual non-consent
  • Dominance & submission
  • Face-fucking
  • Fear play
  • Degradation & dehumanization
  • Medical play
  • Military clothing/paraphernalia
  • Rubber
  • Sensory deprivation
  • Spit/drooling

I happen to be into several of the kinks on this list, so although the company said I could pick any toy from their catalogue, I ended up settling on this one. I knew that using it would freak me out, but I was prepared for that eventuality, especially since I’ve had enjoyable experiences with fear play and other scary kinks before.

Some quick safety tips

First, you’re gonna want to remove the little grey circle of silicone that covers the air filter on the mask. This will enable you to breathe even while the Fleshlight is full o’ cock.

Definitely agree on a safe-signal beforehand with your partner whenever you use this product, because you won’t be able to speak while it’s in use. A good standard safe-signal is to tap twice on your partner’s thigh/arm/whatever, or to shake your head “no.” Make sure your partner knows they should stop immediately and check in on you whenever a safe-signal is used – or, alternatively, you may want to have one signal that means “stop immediately” and one that means “slow down/ease up/I need a break.”

Never leave someone unattended in this mask, incase they start to struggle to breathe for any reason. Likewise, the mask’s safety instructions recommend that you never restrain someone while they’re wearing this mask, presumably because then they won’t be able to easily use their safe-signal, remove the mask themselves, or physically push their partner away if they need to.

Finally, aftercare is always important in kink, but may be especially so when you’re playing with emotionally fraught kinks like consensual non-consent, fear play, and dehumanization. I tend to want cuddles and praise after engaging in these types of kinks, for instance. Before trying this toy, it’d be a good idea to get familiar with your partners’ aftercare needs, and your own, if you’re not already.

Things I like about this toy

  • Well, for one thing, it’s fucking hot! I’m not much for dehumanization kink in general, but I do love being (consensually) face-fucked, and feeling (consensually) “used” for someone else’s pleasure. Often while testing this toy, I felt reduced to being a blowjob machine, a mere hole to be enjoyed, which (in the context of my loving & respectful relationship with my partner) was hot as hell to me. It helped me tap into my submission very quickly, taking me down into a sweet, trancelike subspace. Yum.
  • My partner found it hot too, and said it was definitely pleasurable enough that she could’ve come from fucking my face that way (we didn’t test the mask “to completion” because the mask itself was scary enough to me and I low-key worried I’d choke to death on her cum). She described it as tighter than a regular BJ, though most of the tightness was focused around the base of her dick rather than the more sensitive head.
  • Because the trimmed Fleshlight is open at both ends, I get to lick my partner’s frenulum, taste her precum, etc. while she’s fucking the Fleshlight. This means I get to retain some of the intimate, closely connected feelings I get from giving a regular BJ, along with the more unusual (for me) ‘scary’ feelings of wearing a gas mask with blacked-out eyes.
  • Speaking of the blacked-out eyes, I ended up liking that version better than the clear-lens one, because I enjoy the sensory deprivation aspect of being blindfolded, and this is just a more extreme version of that. The dark lenses made me feel much more immersed in the scene and more mindful of the sensations I was feeling.
  • While face-fucking is one obvious way to use this product, the person wearing the mask can also take a more active role, bobbing their head up and down, as in a standard blowjob, to stimulate their partner’s dick with their mouth and the Fleshlight simultaneously. I like having this option when I want it!
  • Surprisingly enough, I think this product would be great for people who struggle with giving toothy blowjobs. Provided you haven’t trimmed the Fleshlight insert too short, it’ll cover your teeth, significantly cushioning the dick therein from any sharp edges. I really liked that my partner was able to fuck my face pretty rough and fast without either of us needing to worry about my teeth.
  • The straps on the mask make it very adjustable to fit different head sizes. I sometimes found it tricky to cram my head in there initially, but once the mask was on and the straps were tightened enough, the fit felt secure and comfortable, and I could breathe without issue.

Things I don’t like about this toy

  • Fundamentally I just don’t think I want to have Fleshlight material in my mouth, which this product pretty much requires. SuperSkin is a porous material, so – while it’s not toxic or anything – it can’t be fully cleaned between uses, as bacteria will always linger in the pores to some extent. I find this kinda gross and it would be a tough psychological hurdle for me to get over after a certain number of uses. (On that note: Make sure to wash and rinse the Fleshlight insert thoroughly before your first use; it tasted chemical-y to me straight out of the box.)
  • Both my partner and I found that our hair would often get caught in the metal parts of the mask straps, sometimes causing breakage or pain as we tried to disentangle it.
  • I didn’t love having to manually trim the Fleshlight insert down to size with the included super-sharp box-cutter, mainly because I am not a handy person and was terrified the whole time that I’d injure myself… but I do like that you can customize the Fleshlight to fit your mouth better in this way, since there is a lot of variation in mouth size between people.
  • I wasn’t really able to swallow very well while the mask was on (because my mouth was full of Fleshlight and dick) and so my drool kinda got everywhere, and sometimes made me feel a bit panicky and grossed out as it flowed back into my own mouth in large quantities. But I know that there are many spit fetishists who would find that sexy as hell, sooo…

Final thoughts

I’ve never tried anything like the Device Bondage Fleshlight gas mask before. It taps into a cavalcade of kinks, some of which I’m definitely into, and some of which I’m less into – but I’m really glad I own one, for those times when I want to feel dehumanized, “used,” and useful.

Some practical issues make it unlikely that this’ll become my go-to kink toy any time soon, but I appreciate any opportunity to suck my partner’s cock in new and interesting ways 😉 and just as with the blowjob mirror I reviewed back in 2017, this mask pushed my BJ fanaticism to its limits, and turned me on by scaring the shit out of me. Isn’t fear play fun?!

The Best Sex Toys of 2024

Kate Sloan

I’ve been lucky enough in my career to write sex toy listicles for all sorts of big publications. I love being able to spread sex toy awareness to the masses, but ultimately, this website is still my favorite place to write about these products – because this website is the only one where I can give you the full, detailed, unvarnished lowdown on why I like (or dislike) any given toy. I love having that kind of freedom!

With that in mind, I want to tell you about the toys I used and enjoyed the most in 2024…

Old faithfuls

Before I tell you about my 8 favorite new-to-me sex toys of the year, I gotta shout out the nightstand workhorses that’ve stuck around for a while:

 

My 8 favorite new toys of the year

Yep – I’m gonna do a “top 8,” MySpace-style!

Not all of these were released this year, but they all arrived in my collection sometime in 2024. I’ll start at the bottom and work my way up…

8. Mr Hankey’s Perfect Penis

Not much to say about this one, except that it’s a huge, beautiful silicone dick that I reach for when I want to feel well and truly fucked. And also it works better as an iPhone stand than many actual iPhone stands.

 

7. Uberrime Suavis plug

There are two vaginal plugs that I love: this one, and the Hole Punch Fluke, which has long been my go-to when I want some passive G-spot stimulation while receiving oral sex. The problem with the Fluke, however, is that I can’t wear it for longer than about an hour before my vag starts to get a little sore from the firmness of the silicone.

That’s where the Uberrime Suavis comes in – it’s softer, squishier, and more comfortable for longer wear (I think I’ve comfortably left it in for up to 3 hours before). The trade-off is that it doesn’t feel as good for me during orgasm as the Fluke does, because I prefer a firmer silicone at that moment – plus, sometimes my vag swallows the whole Suavis, base and all, which can make it a little tricky to retrieve. In any case, though, I love having two different vaginal plugs for the two different ways I like to use ’em!

6. Magic Wand Micro

They made a miniature version of the Magic Wand. Of course I love it!

The teeny-tiny Micro might disappoint some Wand diehards, because naturally it doesn’t quite stack up to its bigger siblings in terms of power – but it’s respectably rumbly and strong for its petite size, it’s portable as hell, and (perhaps most importantly of all) it’s really fucking cute.

 

5. Fun Factory Stronic G Forte

Hate to do this to ya, but this appears to be sold out everywhere… most likely because of Fun Factory’s recent acquisition by Satisfyer and it increasingly seems like they’re phasing out the brand. That would be a HUGE bummer for sex toy nerds around the world, because Fun Factory has long been one of the best and most ethical companies in the biz.

But it would feel weird to omit this toy from my list, even though you’ll have a hell of a time trying to sleuth one out at this point. Fun Factory’s Stronic line of “pulsators” thrust back and forth in small motions, and nowhere is this technology used more effectively than in the G Forte, which is made to target the G-spot with those quick little strokes. It’s girthier and stronger than the original Stronic G, and I’m sad that more people won’t get to experience it.

 

4. Solina Mega L dildo

At first glance, this toy may not look especially remarkable. It’s a straight, average-sized, realistic silicone dildo. So what?

Here’s what: This dildo is made of dual-density silicone, widely regarded as the best balance between realism and body-safety (since realistically squishy toys are usually made of porous and/or toxic materials) – and it only costs $40. It wasn’t so long ago that you’d have to shell out $100+ for a great dual-density silicone dildo – and the ones in that price range are still gorgeous and worthy of their price tags, but I love having an option I can recommend to folks who are on a tighter budget.

I’ve recently been sent a new addition to the Solina line, which I’ll write about sometime in 2025, and it’s lovely too. I’ve definitely got my eye on this brand!

3. Mr. Hankey’s Captain’s Hook

This toy’s deep curve and hefty girth make it one of the most breathtakingly G-spotty toys I’ve ever used. I find its realism sexy both visually and tactilely – that coronal ridge is simply marvelous.

I’d probably use it a lot more often if it wasn’t so heavy. But it speaks well of this toy that I’m willing to put up with the sore hands and arms occasionally in order to experience its pleasures.

 

2. Hot Octopuss Pulse Queen

One of my core skills as a sex toy reviewer is being very aware of my own “baseline,” in terms of sensitivity and sexual response, so that I will know when a toy causes significant deviations in those areas. And to that end, I noticed immediately that the Pulse Queen clitoral stimulator feels deeper and more stimulating than other vibes – and that the orgasms it gives me have a unique quality to them as well, a depth and sweetness that frequently makes me swear like a sailor while I’m coming.

The only reasons this toy isn’t in the #1 spot: It doesn’t stand up well at all to pressure (which makes it effectively useless in many PIV positions), and it has an annoyingly short battery life. But damn, nothing else feels quite like this toy, and when I’m craving it, absolutely nothing else will do.

 

1. We-Vibe Wand 2

The toys at the top of my list each year are usually fairly straightforward. They do one thing, and they do it well. Let that be a lesson to any sex toy company reps who may be reading this!

We-Vibe’s updated wand is a prime example. It’s “just” a wand – but oh, what a wand it is! It’s easily one of the rumbliest ones I’ve ever tried, and its speeds range from a low, gentle purr to a full-on jackhammer rumble. I’ve reached for it more times than I can count this year, because, simply put, it gets the fucking job done. It may not be the prettiest wand (or the most affordable), but it’s probably the wand that got me off the most times this year, and that’s a pretty big deal!

 

What were your favorite new toys this year?

 

As a reminder: when you buy toys through my links, I get a li’l monetary kickback (at no extra cost to you), which is a great way to “tip” me if you’ve appreciated my toy guidance this year 😘 Thanks, babes!

Lusting for Lovecore: Matching My Outfits to My Favorite Uberrime Dildo!

Kate Sloan

I love sex toys, I love fashion, and I especially love opportunities to blend those two interests together. So I’m sure you can understand why I was so excited when indie sex toy company Uberrime reached out recently to ask if I’d like to write a post about…

…how custom toys can feel like an expression/extension of self? You have such a consistent and memorable collection of go-to colors in both your business branding and personal fashion, I figured if anyone would want a toy to “match,” it might be you!

Needless to say, I replied with an enthusiastic YES!

I’m a massive fan of Uberrime’s Night King dildo (here’s my review from 2019 if you’d like to read it), because its length, shape, and coronal ridge make it an absolute powerhouse for A-spot stimulation. The brand sweetly offered me a brand-new, custom-made Night King, in the colors of my choice, to highlight the extreme customizability offered on Uberrime’s site. Color isn’t the only thing you get to customize, either: you can also select your preferred firmness for your new toy, and decide whether you want a port in the base for a bullet vibrator or a Vac-U-Lock device. Gotta love a bespoke dong!

Choosing dildo colors can be a challenge for an indecisive femme comme moi, but in this case, I knew exactly what I wanted: red and pink. In other words, I wanted a “lovecore” Night King. I love these colors, but perhaps even more importantly for this post, I have a lot of clothing in these colors!

I started putting together outfits in my head before my new Night King even arrived on my doorstep – and when it did, it was so stunning in-person that I was even more excited to style it up. Ready to see the dildo-inspired ensembles I came up with?

Lounging in bed

When my friend Billy and I interviewed the kink writer Tina Horn on our podcast back in June, she said,

Part of the reason that I know I’m not femme is that I’ve learned so much about what ‘femme’ is to femmes… One of the defining things that I hear over and over again from femmes is that they’re femme when no one’s watching, or their resting state is femme, or they put on lipstick for themselves… You can put on lipstick for yourself, not because you’re brainwashed by the patriarchy!

While there are many valid definitions of femmeness, this one (among others) resonates with me – because not only do I frequently wear lipstick while alone, but I also frequently put together little loungewear ‘outfits’ that serve the sole purpose of making me feel cute while staying comfy. It’s an important outlet for my femme inclinations, especially since – what with being a chronically ill freelancer – I spend way more time in and around my bed than I do in most other places!

This is exactly the type of outfit I’d wear for a leisurely masturbation session on a Saturday afternoon, or even for a toy testing session during the week. Comfort is paramount when I’m hoping to get turned on, and this look takes that into account. (I’ve paired the Night King with a pink We-Vibe Tango X, because I – like most people with my anatomy – find dildos most pleasurable and effective when there’s some clit stimulation going on.)

What I’m wearing:
• Dark red modal slip dress – Calvin Klein Sleepwear
• Pink and red heart-print acrylic cardigan – Unique Vintage
• Bare feet

Party bimbo

Been a minute since I went to a kink conference or play party (’cause, y’know, pandemic + fibromyalgia), but I think this would be the ideal outfit to wear to something like a hypno munch or an intelligence-play workshop. Love a bimbo moment!

The lovecore Night King doesn’t exaaaactly fit inside my tiny heart-shaped purse, but that’s kind of part of the look, if you ask me…

What I’m wearing:
• Pink ribbed cropped tank top – Forever 21
• Pink and red heart-print velour trackpants – an Etsy shop that has since gone out of business
• Neon pink striped beanie – another Etsy shop that has since gone out of business!
• Raspberry pink leather heart earrings – Unicorn Collaborators
• Pink/red/orange custom Nike Air Force 1 sneakers
• Red heart-shaped bag – Kate Spade

Soft butch

One for the androgyny-enjoyers! (I count myself among your ranks…)

It’s been interesting observing the way that fluctuations in my chronic illness symptoms can influence my gender presentation. Sometimes a high-pain day will lead me to dress masc like this, because this type of outfit is more utilitarian and easier to throw together.

Occasionally my pain makes me feel so disconnected from my body that I only want to top, and not bottom, during sex – meaning that I want to do stuff to a partner, but don’t want to receive touch/pleasure directly myself, because keeping my awareness on my own body feels icky and depressing at those times. This is an outfit I might wear at a play party if I was in that type of mood, since it suggests the sex acts I am and am not up for, and gives me some soft-butch swagger that feels good when I’m in Top Mode.

What I’m wearing:
• Long-sleeved black shirt – gift from my mama
• High-waisted straight-leg jeans – Everlane
• Hot pink Doc Martens
• Aslan Leather Nicki Jaguar harness with Uberrime Night King dildo (read my review of this harness here – it’s been my fave for many years!)

Sex writer extraordinaire

Pre-pandemic, I used to write in cafés almost every day. I would tuck my laptop into a tote, throw on an energizing outfit, and then go hole up in the corner of a coffee shop to sip a latte and nibble a muffin while writing about dicks, dates, ‘n’ doms. I miss it! (I still do it once in a while, but definitely not as often.)

This would have been a perfect ensemble to wear while writing a blog post in public – say, a review of my lovecore Night King! I would toss the dildo into my bag before leaving the house, incase I needed to check its measurements or firmness, etc. while writing – surreptitiously and out of view of other patrons, of course!

What I’m wearing:
• “Run the Fuck” T-shirt – the Museum of Sex gift shop (the quote is a Betty Dodson-ism)
• Red pencil skirt – American Apparel
• Pink metallic cowboy boots – Jeffrey Campbell
• Pink leather satchel – Kate Spade (this was the first expensive/fancy bag I ever bought for myself, waaay back when I was like 22, and I still adore it)
• Red heart-shaped prescription glasses – Zenni
• Lovecore Night King + limited-edition “cherry blossom” Lamy Safari rollerball pen (gift from my spouse) + pink legal pad (gift from my brother)

Bonus outfit: Actual sex

I mean, it is a sex toy, after all…!

To tell you the truth, the Uberrime Night King has long been my spouse’s go-to dildo when she fucks me with a strap-on. As mentioned, it hits my A-spot with aplomb. You usually lose up to an inch of useable dildo length when you wear one in a harness, because of the thickness of the harness itself, but the Night King’s 8″ insertable length means it can still easily hit my A-spot even when strapped on. I chose the 12A/medium shore for this Night King, and I’m glad I did, because that firmness makes it feel incredible pounding into my spot again and again. (It helps a lot that my spouse’s strap game is top-notch, of course…)

The most recent time that my partner came to visit me, she had brought her harness, and we decided to try out my new Night King… and once she slid it into her harness and lubed it up, I was so struck by how hot it looked with her outfit that I asked if I could snap a photo for this post. Luckily for me (and for all of you!!), she obliged. And then, naturally, we had excellent strap-on sex 🤤

So, here is a very real-life example of how sex toy aesthetics can amp up excitement and arousal. Red is my spouse’s signature color, and one that looks exceptionally good on her, whether in the form of a lipstick, a mesh tank top, or (yes) a custom-made dildo – and I love that this dildo can easily be incorporated into both of our aesthetics, even though our styles are pretty different from each other!

What she’s wearing:
• Red mesh tank top – a fetishwear shop in Berlin called Schwarzer Reiter
• RodeoH briefs harness
• Uberrime Night King dildo, of course 😍

If this post has got you curious about matching your outfit to your dildo – or matching your dildo to your outfit! – then why not check out the Night King and the rest of Uberrime’s catalog, and pick the color(s) that make(s) your heart sing? Life’s too short for ugly toys in depressing shades; I want my toys to be bright and beautiful works of art, and Uberrime makes some of the prettiest silicone dildos I’ve ever seen. Pretty enough, even, to be a crucial component of some of my high-femme outfits. 💖

Review: Funzze Double-Ended Bunny Vibrator (& some thoughts on clit vibe design)

Kate Sloan

It’s often been said that the clitoris is like an iceberg: the part that’s visible is practically minuscule, compared to what’s not visible. To pleasure a clit in its entirety requires that you go beyond just the parts you can see.

Likewise, I think the sex toy industry has barely scratched the surface of what’s possible when it comes to clitoral stimulation. Yes, there are a variety of shapes to be found in the clit-toy category,  and sometimes you’ll even see something super imaginative, like a wheel of silicone tongues or a tongue-like rolling ball. But the vast majority of clitoral toys vibrate (or oscillate, etc.) or they use air pressure waves – and the vast majority of these are focused on the tip (glans) of the clit.

Some 3D-printed models of the entire clitoris

You can imagine, I’m sure, that in a world where the only penis toys on the market stimulated the head of a dick exclusively, there would pretty quickly be demand for something that produces a, shall we say, deeper sensation. And for the same reason, I think way more sex toy companies should be considering the often-ignored parts of the clitoris in their toy designs: not just the clitoral shaft, but also the internal crura and vestibular bulbs that round out the clitoral nerve network.

To that end, I’m always thrilled to see new double-pronged clitoral vibes – like the Funzze Double-Ended Bunny Vibrator, which I’m reviewing today. Several companies have attempted a design like this, and now Funzze’s taken a swing at it too. Let’s discuss…

What is the Funzze Double-Ended Bunny Vibrator and how can it stimulate a clit differently from most vibes?

Funzze says that the dual-pronged side of this toy is meant to evoke “bunny ears” while the other end is a “bunny tail,” but if you ask me, this thing looks more like one of those comedy rubber chickens. In any case, the bunny-tail side is intended for clitoral or G-spot stimulation, while the bunny ears can lay on either side of a clit (or a nipple, or what have you).

And therein lies this toy’s aptness for internal clit stimulation: it applies vibration to the sides of the clitoral shaft, and (indirectly) to the vestibular bulbs of the clitoris. For me at least, this is a very different sensation from direct clitoral glans stimulation, and I strongly prefer this more indirect approach, because it helps me avoid overstimulation. The pleasure also just feels more full-bodied overall, because more of my clit is being stimulated. (By the way, you can totally hold a regular vibrator against these areas – such as a bullet or a wand – to feel a similar sensation, and indeed, I think this is a big reason wand vibes are so popular: they stimulate the clit more deeply and diffusely than smaller, weaker vibes do.)

Another thing I love about dual-pronged vibrators: usually I can sort of snuggle my clit up into the curve where the two prongs converge, which provides some stimulation on the top of my clitoral shaft as well. With this toy, I can squeeze/pinch my clit between the two flexible silicone arms, roll it back and forth, slide them up and down, etc. Experimenting this way during my testing sessions was fun, because it truly is rare for a clitoral toy to surprise me with how it feels, now that I’ve tried so many of them.

Other things I like about the Funzze Double-Ended Bunny Vibrator

  • There are three motors in this toy! The vibrations are concentrated into the tips of the ‘tail’ and each ‘ear,’ which makes this vibe great for teasing pinpointed spots – not just the clit but also the nipples, balls, perineum, labia, etc. As described, the bunny ears are nice for clitoral shaft/bulb stimulation, while the tail can apply more direct stimulation wherever you like (except for in your butt, because this toy is not anal-safe).
  • The controls are easy to learn and use: each end of the toy has its own button, which you hold down to turn on or off, and short-press to cycle through settings. I didn’t even have to look at the toy to control it after a while.
  • When it comes to double-ended toys, usually I wish I could flip back and forth easily between the two ends, depending on what sensation I’m looking for at any given moment – but this often gets messy after a while, as lube and bodily fluids get everywhere. This toy actually solves that problem, though, because its “handle” is the middle section, which (in my experience) stays relatively dry during use, so you can switch back and forth between the ears and tail any time you want without losing your grip on the toy.
  • The silicone bunny ears are very flexible, meaning that they’d be able to flank a broad range of clit sizes comfortably. I also found that they stayed in place pretty well if I spread my outer labia while arranging the bunny ears around my clit.
  • It’s decently quiet, and wouldn’t generally be audible through a closed door.
Pencil for scale (and also because I was taking notes for this review!)

Things I don’t like about the Funzze Double-Ended Bunny Vibrator

  • Unfortunately, this toy suffers from the most common ‘fatal flaw’ a vibrator can have: its motor is just way too buzzy, and not strong enough. I can enjoy the uniquely enveloping stimulation of the bunny ears for a few minutes, but then my sensitivity gets significantly lessened by the high-pitched vibrations and it’s hard to feel pleasure or reach orgasm. Bummer, dude.
  • Each end of the toy has 10 settings you can cycle through, but there’s not much discernible variation between them, and I always wish there was more power on the high end.
  • It’s splashproof (IPX6) but not waterproof, so you can rinse it in the sink but you can’t take it in the bath.
  • The downside of the bunny ears and tail being so flexible is that they can hardly apply any pressure at all, so I wouldn’t recommend this vibe for anyone who likes pressure.

Final thoughts

I’m always hopeful about bunny-ears-shaped vibrators when I see a new one come out, because they stimulate the clitoris in an unusual way, sandwiching it inescapably between sweet vibrations. The Funzze Double-Ended Bunny Vibrator isn’t ideal for me, because its high-pitched, surface-level vibrations don’t rumble my internal clitoral network the way I (and many others) prefer.

But I think its design is thoughtful, and bodes well for the future of clitoral toys – because, as with the problem of the orgasm gap itself, we need to try every angle of approach if we want to seek out the greatest, fullest pleasures.
