#Roundup - August 14th edition

Contributor: Gary Gary
Hello everybody

Welcome to the Weekly Review Round-Up #7!

First off… it looks as though we’ve had about 175 reviews come in this week. Now, I don’t know if that is the all time record, but it really seems like it ought to be. This week I will call up Guinness and get to the bottom of things. But seriously, that is just amazing!

I know that since we are all on the inside, writing reviews and testing products, it can be very easy to get caught up in the program and forget about why we really do this… and that is to help out everyone who comes to the site wanting to buy a sex toy that suits their needs and makes them feel good. Your voices and opinions really offer up so much advice and wisdom for someone who is unsure about all the ins and outs of products, materials, and performance.

Most of us were young and uninformed once, and we would walk into a shop, drop a whole bunch of money on toys we might only use once, and then end up discouraged and turned off to toys in general. Now, everyone here has the opportunity to share their experiences, so this doesn’t have to keep happening. Though I have never seen the movie Pay it Forward, the expression does seem to appropriately describe the situation.

Anyway… I just thought that I would share a few thoughts that always seem to go through my head each week when I go through the reviews to make picks for the Roundup.

Since there were so many reviews this week, and there were a bunch of you who submitted multiple reviews, I had a cool idea for this week's round-up… a ‘three-somes’ theme! I guess you could also use the terms 3-way, or a gangbang; but even though I like the way gangbang sounds, a whole lot better, it does kind of lose the meaning of what I was going for here.

So ladies and gentlemen, I give you the epic ‘Friday Night 3-Way Sex Toy Extravaganza’!!!

I would like to welcome Mrs. Sparks to the community! She signed up Wednesday, and has already contributed 3 reviews… in 3 days. That’s a pretty healthy pace.
01: ”Spot-on for beginners” - a review of the LAYAspot clitoral vibrator by Fun Factory.
02: ”No Frills Necessary” - a review of the Waterproof Turbo Glider Blueberry traditional vibrator by California Exotics.
03: ”Bless You, (Sometimes) Silky Sheets” - a review of Silky Sheets Spray by Holiday Products.

Next up is a triple shot from the PornLibrarian, with an entire weekend package already laid out for you; a bullet, a strap-on harness, and a Tantus dildo.
01: ”How Divine…” - a review of the Sedeux Divine Diva Plus Size doubles strap harness by Sportsheets.
02: ”Twice as good” - a review of the Passion Bullets™ dual bullet by California Exotics.
03: ”Throw Him (or Her) a Curve!” – a review of the Curve dildo by Tantus.

A multiple review submission theme would not be complete without Kuuipogal! I have a theory that she might be part Cyborg, since no regular human could keep up with her review velocity. Her packing dildo review is especially good, educational and very funny!
01: ”Grrl Shorts for Gender Bending Fun!” - a review of the Grrl Shorts Strap-on Harness by Topco Sales.
02: ”The Penultimate Pick of Packing Peckers” - a review of the Mr. Right packing dildo by Vixen Creations.
03: ”Half Good and Half Evil” - a review of My First Anal Kit by Topco Sales

Now here is where things start to get really freaky! Within a few days of each other, we received 3 reviews of the Petite Couture Serenity traditional vibrator by California Exotics, by 3 different reviewers. Strangely enough, each of the reviewers rated this vibrator exactly the same (4 stars). I know what you are thinking; this is some Ripley’s Believe it or Not material right here!
01: ”Good Thing, Small Package” - a review by Lara
02: ”Journey to Blissful Gratification” - a review by Sammi
03: ”Soft Swirls of Pleasure” - a review by newme21

And now for our last 3-way, aka ‘A Tail of 3 Lubes’ (it’s not spelled wrong). On Wednesday night Victoria and I had been working late, and we both stopped working after midnight. We both had to get up early and drive to Eden Fantasys headquarters (which is 90 minutes away) in the morning, and we both had description reviews of lube to write… so we poured a whole bag of catnip onto the floor of our bedroom, and then called in all 4 of our cats.

Since we had 3 different types of lube to review, we covered each of the cats in an entire bottle of lube (leaving the 4th cat dry in order to have a control group). We then sat there on the bed writing our reviews, based on the affect the lube had on the kitty kat royal rumble. In case you didn’t know, cats get really mellow with a little bit of cat nip, but it’s like angel dust if you give them enough to roll around in! Ok, obviously this thing with the cats didn’t really happen, but I thought it was funny so… on to the lube reviews.
01: ”Oh dear, that tingles!” – a review of the [G] female stimulation gel by Oceanus Naturals
02: ”Mr. Freeze” - a review of the V Cooling Lubricant by Vie Products, Inc.
03: ”Light Luxury Lubricant” - a review of the V Light Luxury Lubricant by Vie Products, Inc.

Wow, this one turned out to be pretty long!

Well, goodnight everyone, and have a great weekend!

That's what I love the most about this site, how helpful everyone is! How amazing the reviews are. And I know I'm especially grateful to finally be buying products that I love at a very reasonable price.

I'm grateful to be a part of that helpfulness. Like you said, "pay it forward".

So Thanks EF and all the reviewers!!!!

Congrats everyone!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome, Gary! I am totally enjoying this community. Hot feline-on-feline action AND packing dildos in the same post? What's not to love about this place?

Cat's also like Valerian (it's a kitty-safe herb). I have two cats and one in particular goes crazy for it but the other one isn't that interested in it. I guess it depends on the feline but they both like catnip.

I've never heard that cats like Valerian root. I will have to give this a try!

It's definitely a documented feline fetish, but I didn't know until my cat became highly interested in a Valerian herb capsule that I had.

Mahalo nui loa for the mention! Some really cool reviews this week.

Doesn't Valerian put cats to sleep? My boss uses it for hotflashes and sleep. She also hhas an urn on her desK that says "Nurses I had to kill ". I'm seriously afraid to be called into her office.

The urn is pretty funny. I can appreciate the intimidation factor

Bosses intimidating their employees? What planet is this happening on? Unheard of

At least she's creative!

Valerian creates much of the same type of effect on felines as catnip does. Same cats will not go near Valerian while others well be more than glad to. I've never used it, but I have seen Valerian Spray for cats. There have been some studies that show that Valerian actually reduces anxiety in both cats and dogs. The effects of Valerian are short-lived, like catnip. I've given my cats some Valerian from a capsule, and one of my kitty's love it while the other doesn't.

She called me into her office and wrote me up for tucking my pants cuffs into my socks - something we always did in the OR. She pointed to the urn and said "learn to sew and hem your pants.

Candy jars are less intimidating.

My mother's a professor, and she keeps an urn on her desk that says "Ashes of Problem Students". Given that my dear, beloved, but hot-tempered mother already has a reputation among the students as a fire-breathing dragon... that urn makes them nervous during office hours.

Great job this week, everyone!
