Hey sex fans!
We’re back with another edition of Product Review Friday. And today we have two toys to tell you about.
Here’s the husband and wife team, Dr Dick Review Crew member, Jack & Karen. Each has their own toy.
Our first product comes from our favorite retailer — Adult Sex Toys .com.
Mood Passionate —— $44.99
Karen
I’m here today with a vibe from that industry colossus, Doc Johnson. It’s called Mood Passionate. I think it’s one of a line of vibes, called Mood, that they must have produced at some point, but I couldn’t find them on their website now. I don’t know what any of this means, but I thought I’d throw it out there anyhow.I must say that I was pretty impressed with Mood Passionate. It has a load of very nice features, some of which you can only find in high-end vibes. And it retails for less than $50. That’s a lot of value!
The Mood Passionate is a stylized rabbit-type vibe that boasts a dual action vibration system. There’s one bullet in the shaft and one in the clit-stimulating finger. It also has 10 vibration functions. Just between you and me, I think 10 functions is overkill, but that’s just me.
I was also impressed with the strength of the vibrations and pulsations, especially since the vibe runs on just two AAA-batteries (not included in the package). However, I found that I needed to replace the batteries more frequently than I would if the Mood Passionate ran on bigger sized batteries. So there’s the trade-off.
The best thing about this vibe is that it’s waterproof. I mean really waterproof, not that ridiculous splash-proof baloney some toys crow about. The box claims the Mood Passionate, at least the business end of the thing, is made of food-grade silicone. However, I detected a slight odor when first opening the package. So that tells me that either the other materials used in the manufacture of the Mood Passionate are putting off the smell, or maybe this isn’t 100% silicone after all. All of us members of the Dr Dick Review Crew have become leery of many of the claims made by industry insiders. I mean, how do we know for sure?
The silicone material is nonporous, latex free, phthalates free and hypoallergenic. It is soft to the touch and there is a very nice flexibility to shaft and the clit-stimulating finger. I really like that.
Because the Mood Passionate is waterproof cleanup is a breeze. Pop it into a sink full of mild soap and warm water. I use a fingernail brush to brush around all the nooks and crannies. You can also wipe it down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution too. There are no special storage requirements. I keep mine in one of Jack’s old socks, just to keep it clean.
The Mood Passionate is a sweet vibe that often fits my mood, especially in the bath. I can recommend with confidence.
Our second product comes to us directly from the manufacturer, Xmybox.
This is the second product we’ve reviewed for them.
Cherry On Top – Drop —— $29.95
Jack
What we have here is the Cherry On Top – Drop, one of three such toys. It’s a cockring of sorts. I say that because it encircles your cock and balls, like a cockring ought to. But, because it’s made of this super elastic jelly material, it’s too stretchy to provide any of the constriction a guy expects from a regular cockring.There is a nubbed barrel-like structure on either end of the ring into which we are supposed to load the cute green and pink bullet vibes. But first we’re supposed to load the bullets with three tiny watch batteries. Here in lies the rub. Despite the fact that the promotional materials on the company’s website say the six batteries (three per bullet) are included in the package. And indeed there are six little indentations in the plastic packaging. My toy arrived with only two of the six batteries. The other four indentations were empty.
No I would have thought that maybe the other batteries got lost, or there was a glitch in the package assembly. But get this, the package itself says that the batteries are NOT included.
So, which is it, Xmybox?
At any rate, I didn’t have the extra batteries to load into the bullets. And I had no inclination to run down to the store to purchase the extra batteries either. I mean, I would have gladly used any of the regular sized batteries we have on hand to operate the bullets, if that’s what was called for. But I wasn’t gonna go traipsing around town looking for these highly specialized batteries.
So, dear readers, I can’t tell you anything more about this toy other than the fact that if I plunked down a whopping 30-bucks for this and the batteries weren’t included, I’d have a fuckin’ fit. I mean, even with the batteries included I’d be hard-pressed to shell out $30 for this novelty item. Don’t bother!
ENJOY!
