Experiencing the pleasures of anal play is reasonably new for me. It’s only been over the past year or so that I’ve opened-up enough . . . so to speak . . . to be able to fully enjoy the different sensations this sort of stimulation brings.

So I hadn’t really thought about trying a butt plug until quite recently when one of my Lovers mentioned them in conversation and I thought to myself “Hmm, that would be a nice treat to surprise him with for our next meeting!”

The range and styles and sizes of plugs available, as I searched my favourite on-line store Sh! was quite overwhelming though . . . so for this rather special purchase I decided to pop-into Sh! HQ at their Hoxton shop here in London so that I could see and feel the options for myself . . . and of course, ask the wonderfully helpful Sh! girls on the counter for their own advice and recommendations.

I’d seen the Diogol Jewelled Butt Plug as I’d browsed on-line and it had already aroused my interest . . . but as soon as I saw and handled the real thing I immediately fell in love with it.

The surgical-steel material it is made from just feels so lovely and smooth to the touch . . . and of course I just loved the Swarovski crystal inlay on the base.

Being a “beginner” the lovely Rene at Sh! suggested that the 25mm-sized Diogol was probably the perfect starting point for me . . . and as I rolled it about in my hand I didn’t need any further convincing. I loved the feel of it (if only, for the moment at least, between my fingers!)

Available in Red or Purple, I chose the Purple option and was already tingling as the girls lovingly wrapped my new toy (and an accompanying tube of lube) in the Sh! signature pink tissue . . . I just couldn’t wait to get it home.

As well as being lovely to hold and to look at, the Plug comes perfectly packaged in it’s own sturdy presentation box. Mine was in a clear plastic base and lid, but I understand the newest boxes are black.

Once at home I was straight upstairs, anxious and excited to try my new toy . . . it felt so lovely again in the palm of my hand as I twirled it round and showed Hubby the sparkling crystal. Whilst it could hardly be described as heavy it does feel more “substantial” than some of the other plugs I’d looked at in the shop . . . and that made my anticipation even greater.

Being made from non-porous steel the Diogol can be used with any lubricant . . . oil, silicone or water-based . . . and it’s smooth and gently tapered design made it actually very easy to insert. LOL!!!

I immediately purred as I stood up and walked slowly around the room. I’d imagined that it might feel uncomfortable, even painful, to move around with something permanently in my bottom. But actually it felt wonderful and I became more and more aroused as I bent over and posed for Hubby, and then for myself in the mirror. “Mmm . . . I really do love that crystal!!!”.

I didn’t actually keep it in for too long on that first occasion . . . **more on this later . . . but come the next morning I teasingly told Hubby I was going to wear it “all day”.

No, I didn’t wear it into work on the Tube! I was too worried I’d lose control and it would fall out. Can you imagine, in the middle of rush hour, my jewelled Diogol rolling around on the floor of the carriage between the feet of my fellow commuters??? But once in my office I slipped off to the washroom and excitingly applied a gentle coating of lube and slid it in for a second time. Oh God, it felt so arousing walking back into the office and over to my desk! The lovely, petite shape and design, and it’s unobtrusive end-piece, means it is completely invisible beneath my skirt so only I knew it was there. And, oh did I know it was there! So much so that I only managed a few hours . . . not because of any discomfort . . . but just because I couldn’t actually concentrate properly on all the “normal” things I should have been doing.

Since then I have worn my plug on a number of occasions (no, not back into work) but around the house for Hubby . . . and, of course, as a special treat for that Lover of mine who enjoys playing with my bottom so much.

So, if like me, you consider yourself to be a beginner and are a little unsure of where to start, I would heartily recommend the Diogol. The size and gentle taper and girth make it nice to fit and comfortable to wear and the feel of it inside as you move about, make it for me at least, arousing both physically and mentally as that “feel” keeps reminding me of my intimate occupant. And that jewelled end-piece gives you the peace of mind that your plug won’t accidentally slide all the way in!!! (Yes, I was actually worried about that at first! LOL!!!)

If you are a regular visitor here you will know that I have always been interested in erotic fetish and bondage art and photography. But over the past year or so I have gradually discovered that I actually enjoy some of the physical aspects of fetish and bondage as well.

Lover 14 was the first of my lovers to talk quite openly about his interests and experiences in the lifestyle and my curiosity and my own desire was immediately aroused by his encouragement . . . and ever present bag of tricks!

Initially Hubby wasn’t quite so keen to indulge as I was, but after watching and videoing those first few experimental occasions he surprised both of us by becoming more and involved as time went by. And we were soon enjoying our own spanking and bondage sessions at home alone!

At first I was the submissive in my adventures with Lover 14, but I soon found I also enjoyed “switching” and playing the dominatrix role as well. So much so, that after meeting Madame Caramel late last year I instructed Hubby to book the Hoxton Dungeon Suite for an evening . . . and invited Lover 14 as a special guest.

So, late in February, for my Valentines gift, we booked ourselves in . . . and the three of us had an absolutely amazing, and exhausting, fun time!!!

The Dungeon Suite is a little difficult to find, but then “you would expect it to be that way” I chastised Hubby as he struggled with the chattering and confused Satnav directions! However, a quick phone call to the contact number we’d been given quickly resolved our problems.

We were pleasantly surprised to be welcomed by Madame Caramel herself and she gave us a short tour of the rooms . . . and an explanation of some of the quite incredible array of implements and toys.

The suite itself comprises of a “normal” bathroom and small kitchen area with microwave, hob and oven, and a well-stocked fridge . . . and a bedroom with a comfortable double-bed. But it was, of course, the playrooms that we were most interested in!!!

Welcome to The Red Room!!!

Madame described the The Red Room as “Mistresses waiting room” where the submissives should begin their worship and attending to their preparations. We glanced across at the Standing Cage already thinking of possibilities . . . and then with incredulity at the glass cabinet full of clamps, weights, screws and apparatus of all shapes, sizes and materials. The Red Room also has an exciting selection of garments and outfits, from rubber suits, maids outfits and dresses that had me making a mental note to return to browse further!!!

We were then, excitingly, led through to the dungeons Main Room . . . a jaw-dropping panorama of the sort of bondage equipment, whips, chains, restraints and toys, the like of which I had probably imagined, but never expected to see, or touch or feel!!!

Madame explained the “house rules” and the safety aspects of some of the more unfamiliar toys and equipment, pointed out the condom containers (we had brought our own, but “just in case we run-out”) and explained how we must place all the toys we used into a large container so that they may be properly cleaned after our departure. Then with flourishing kisses and farewells . . . we were left to our own devices.

Oh, and what devices!!! . . . there were so many choices it was difficult to know just where to start, but of course, it didn’t take us too long at all . . .

The St. Andrews Cross

I’d often fantasised about a St. Andrews Cross but never thought I’d have the opportunity of trying the real thing. But over the next few hours, all three of us found ourselves strapped in position, for varying lengths of time (LOL!!!) and experiencing the delights (???) of being both master and submissive.

I was chosen to be the first though! Gently teased with soft strokes from canes and paddles . . . feeling the tightness and grip of nipple clamps and weights, and then the rising crescendo of a flogging whip. Before being caressed and stroked . . . and then pumped and pounded . . . to the first of countless orgasms.

After which I needed time to recover the feeling in my arms and legs . . . and what better way to unwind than by sitting on the Queening Box and ordering my submissives to enjoy and share in my relieving relaxation! (And guess who was the first???)

Resting, relaxing and unwinding on the Queening Box . . .

Then it was Lover 14’s turn to be strapped to the Cross so that I could enjoy administering some fun of my own. Of course he coped admirably! By the time we released him I was glowing and tingling almost as much as he was and couldn’t wait to offer myself to be strapped over the whipping bench for the next round of pampering, teasing, spanking and fucking from both of my attentive and willing dommes.

Over the course of the next few hours we indulged in just a tiny few of the available ropes and chains, cuffs and restraints, canes, paddles, whips and masks. We moved from the bench, to bondage chair and then onto the top of the padded cage and suspension frame . . . playing, with various rest and recovery breaks of course, until well into the early hours of the morning, each of us collapsing exhausted but completely satiated.

Until the morning! When, after refreshing and revitalising croissants and juices, we returned to the Main Room for several more hours indulgence and discovering new toys we’d missed the night before.

Browsing one of the racks in the Main Room!!!

And we STILL didn’t even scratch the surface of all the things that are available. Not that everything there was of interest of course! It is always a case of personal preference isn’t it . . . and there were some instruments on display that looked positively scary and definitely not for us.

But if you have even just a passing interest in bondage and fetish you will know that it is often the expectation and the anticipation of trying something new that can be the strongest and most exciting emotion. And just being sensible and respectful of each of our interests and desires . . . and ones “safe words” . . . is the most important point to remember amidst all of the excitement.

Ooohh . . . Spoilt for choice!!!

I hope our pictures will give a flavour of just how much we all enjoyed ourselves . . . (and there will be some more private pictures at my Balcony Members page in the next few days) . . . but there is also a plethora of information on the Dungeon and a complete list of all the equipment and toys, including a floor-plan and Picture Gallery at their excellent website. All the equipment is professionally made, clean and maintained to the highest standard . . . and the sheer number and range of toys and accessories simply has to be seen to be believed.

So, if you’ve ever dreamed about exploring the wilder side of your bondage fantasies, or wondered what it really feels like to be strapped onto a St. Andrews Cross, or locked into a submissives cage . . . or indulge in almost any naughty play you could possibly imagine . . . then I am sure you would love The Hoxton Dungeon Suite. We will definitely be returning . . . just to try all the things we didn’t have the time to experience on this occasion!

There is more information about the Dungeon Suite from the official link below . . . and just so you know . . . I actually ordered Hubby to pay for our booking . . .  so my review is based completely on my own, unbiased, experiences!!!

July 2014 Update: I do now have a new video at MakeLoveNotPorn featuring just some of the fun, and some of the toys, at the Hoxton Dungeon. More information at my MLNP page (just scroll down to Video  No. 10) . . . plus I have a little YouTube video teaser >here<!!!

Complaints? Well, perhaps more a case of lots of email messages asking why I hadn’t posted a video review of my recent toy-review-post . . . about my Diogol Jewelled Butt Plug.

It has actually been, on the one hand, quite flattering to be asked . . . and on the other hand, almost worrying . . . LOL???

But I do love my Diogol and because I myself felt more . . . comfortable . . . in looking at, and seeing the Diogol, in-the-flesh, so to speak, I thought it might actually be useful to make a review video after all . . .

So . . . I do hope you will find the above helpful . . . and, of course, entertaining!!!

I have now added the Video Review to my original Review Post, or you can watch it directly at YouTube by clicking the picture above or from >here<.

And there are several more of my video-reviews (if you are interested) at my Toy Review page.

I was so excited when I was asked if I would like to review the Lelo Ora . . . as amongst the (quite extensive LOL!!!) collection of vibrators in my toy drawer, I’ve never had one designed to simulate oral sex.

And my excitement and anticipation rose even more as I unpacked the parcel and ran my fingers over that lovely Lelo silicone for the first time.

The packaging is just exquisite! The glossy outer sleeve (complete with short descriptive informative text in six languages on the side) opens at the top to allow one to slide out the luxurious inner box. The dark black, heavy matt cardboard lid lifts off almost like a jewellery box to reveal the Ora itself nestled in it’s black foam base. A neat fold-over thinner (but matching colour and feel) black card, with the Lelo logo printed stylishly in black foil, masks the white charging unit and cable neatly contained in it’s own pocket.

This Lelo toy is available in Black, Midnight Blue and Deep Rose. Mine was the Midnight Blue and lifting the intriguingly, almost sculptured, shape of the toy from the box I was almost immediately swooning at the feel and contour of it’s shape. That wonderful silicone moulding of the outer ring with a silver metallic-type casting for the inner grip (with the Lelo logo on either side) just oozes class and style. Take a look at my pictures above, and below, and you will see just what I mean . . . and it does feel just as good as it looks.

The almost circular shape is interrupted and flattened for a few centimetres . . . 4cm actually . . . not to act as a base to stand the Ora up, (although it does serve that purpose as well as I’m looking at it now sitting on my bedside table), but rather as a more flexible membrane housing the “tongue” of the toy itself.

Further around the outer “wheel” is the small, discreet, jack-hole for charging (but this toy is 100% waterproof so you don’t need to worry about trying to avoid the hole when cleaning . . . or using excess lube!!!).

And further around again, at what I suppose would be the “top” of the Ora if you imagine it “resting” on it’s base, are the three operational buttons inconspicuously and, stylishly of course, moulded into the silicone and marked by an almost-entwined, lovers knot design, type of groove.

As I connected and plugged-in the charger I almost swooned again as those lovers-knot grooves began to blink with a pretty neon-blue light. But I resigned myself to the practical necessity of noting from the product information that it would require 2 to 3 hours for a first full-charging . . . but that would then allow for a full hour of “user time” . . . and I surely wouldn’t need a “full hour” would I ???

Now . . . I love almost anything sexually and I’m still finding new things that are exciting and enjoyable and satisfying. And I have certainly ALWAYS loved oral sex. And yes, I can climax just from being lovingly licked and kissed around those lips . . . but !!!

But, actually, the most erogenous of all my erogenous zones is not anywhere on my body, but inside my . . . head!

You see, I just have to be in the right frame of mind, the right environment, the right mood to be able to really enjoy, really let myself go, and really, really indulge ALL of me in that special moment in time . . .

And something I have discovered since trying to write about, or “review” my feelings about a certain toy, is that it can be a bit like baking a cake for the first time. (Yes really!!!) Just following that recipe for the first time, preparing all the right ingredients, reading and following all the instructions. By the time the cake is baked it just doesn’t seem to taste as I’d hoped, or expected, it too.

And so it proved with my Ora !!!

I lay back, confident in how lovely the Ora felt to hold with my fingers curled perfectly through the grip-hole, and began experimenting with the plus button (for increasing the vibrations) and the minus button (for, obviously, slowing down the intensity). I pushed, and held that middle button (for “3 seconds” – so I counted 1-2-3,1-2-3) for the 30% increase in the intensity of the vibrations that I’d read about in the information sheet. I paused to apply more lubricant (water-based only please!) and turned it off and on again to slowly push (but not hold) the middle button to scroll through the quoted “10 different simulation modes”. I lifted it away intermittently to check what pattern, or rhythm, the nodule, or “tongue”, beneath that thin membrane was actually doing . . . what direction, or rotation, it was performing. (It has a complete circular stroking motion or a back-and-forth, sort of car-windscreen-wiper type motion).

Unfortunately though, whatever the setting I was choosing, it just wasn’t happening for me. The sound of the vibrations (and it is actually quite quiet compared to most of my other vibrators) began to distract me. I couldn’t concentrate on the matter in hand (so to speak!). I wanted to slide my fingers inside, feel something pushing, probing, stroking. After 15 minutes of frustration and worry, I reached across the bed for Hubby saying “I think I need something else”.

But . . . and this is the moral of not ONLY this story/situation . . . but probably for me, the moral of all situations . . . the next morning!!! . . .

. . . I was awakened, far too early for a Sunday morning, by Hubby’s alarm. He was getting up to watch “the rugby” from the other side of the world. I cursed at him “at least bring me up a cup of tea at half-time!!!” . . .

And, as I turned over . . . cursing still . . . my tired eyes spied that beautifully shaped Ora staring back at me from my bedside table.

I reached over and swooned again as I ran my fingers over that lovely silky silicone. I picked it up and slid my fingers through the grip. It felt smooth, almost welcoming and enticing, in my hand. I pushed the “plus” button. The gentle vibrations that had seemed to upset my concentration the night before, suddenly seemed to empower me. I wanted to “feel” that tongue on me, feel the sound of the vibrations “touching and licking” at me.

I slid the Ora down over my tummy . . .

. . . and suddenly last night didn’t exist, hadn’t happened!!!

And did the thought that this wasn’t Hubby’s tongue (or anyone else’s tongue for that matter!) swirling around and around over my clit enter my head??? YES it did enter my head, it WAS in my mind. In fact, the very fact that I KNEW this was the Ora flicking itself over me was arousing me more and more . . . and it’s vibrations driving me to that wonderful, lovely, twisting, turning explosion. In only a few minutes my cake had not only been baked, but well and truly eaten and consumed!!!

So, can I say that either of my (so far) two experiences with the Ora would happen for you??? No of course I can’t. Rather like cakes , we all like different things at different times . . . and sometimes we won’t enjoy the taste of the same cake tomorrow that we loved so much last night.

But what I can tell you is that I’m sure I will be reaching for my Ora again!

The Lelo Ora has all the quality of manufacture that you would expect from a Lelo product. It is absolutely beautifully packaged, with a satin storage pouch if you don’t want to place it back into the custom-cut-out shape of that lovely box. It is 100% waterproof and comes with a 12 month Lelo warranty.

The Ora may not suit all tastes (LOL!!!) and certainly for those who only enjoy penetrative sex this toy will not do it for you. But if, like me, you do enjoy different sensations on different occasions . . . or sometimes different sensations on the same occasion . . . you may find yourself curling your fingers through the Ora from time to time.

The Modesty Rider:
I realise, of course, that there are already thousands of long-established Sex Toy Reviewers and Review sites . . . most of whom will be far more adapt at explaining all the technical details and specifications of things. But for me sexy clothes and lingerie . . . and sexy toys . . . are all about adding a little fun and excitement to things. So that is how I tend to approach my reviews and videos!!!

Chances are that if something makes me giggle and tingle and feel good, it will score higher on my Modesty Rating.

What’s to review about a riding crop you may ask?

Well actually . . . despite it not having many moving or detailed parts to describe . . . this has become one of my most favourite, and most used, toys over the past few weeks. So much so, that I thought I just had to share my excitement and enthusiasm with you here.

And what has made it even more exciting is that it arrived totally by surprise as a gift from one of my followers via my “Wishlist page”.

I have owned one cane before (from a-n-other toy supplier) but it had snapped after just a few sessions, and quite mild usage really. So I’d just added the Bondage Boutique Crop from Lovehoney to my wishlist more out of mild curiosity and “when I have the time”, rather than “a must have” item.

So I was intrigued when a long, brown corrugated-cardboard box arrived at the office . . . and then absolutely delighted, and so flattered . . . when I opened it up and unravelled all the white tissue wrapping and packing, to discover a long black riding crop, in it’s sealed clear plastic bag, staring up at me from inside the box.

I just couldn’t wait to get it home and try it out. And, of course, my lovely and ever-willing Hubby, was only too pleased to submit!

The crop is 27 inches long from tip to tip, including it’s strong wooden handle (5½ inches long and 3/4 of-an-inch in diameter) with a lovely-to-feel 4½ inch long and 1½ inch wide leather slapper at the “business end”. That means 17 inches of a delightfully flexible, but surprisingly strong, shaft.

The crop is just wonderful to hold as the grooved handle seems to fit just naturally (lol!!!) in the palm of my hand, giving me immediate tingles of command and being in control. There is a thin leather strap attached to the handle, where it joins the shaft, which you can slide over your wrist if you wish, although I haven’t felt the need for that because, as I say, the handle just feels as though it “belongs” in my hand. (But I have actually found the strap very useful for hanging the crop up in my wardrobe after I’ve had my fun).

If just holding the crop makes me tingle, you can imagine how excited I feel as I begin to administer those first few strokes (gentle to begin with of course!!!). The “swishing” sound it makes as it swings through the air is wonderful . . . and then hearing, and watching, that smacking sound as the slapper makes it’s impact on my submissives bottom is simply thrilling. I just love it . . . and watching it swat from cheek to cheek with the shaft springing and bending in time to the sounds gives me an amazing feeling. It is command, and power I suppose . . . but fun as well, as I know (from his whimpers and then rising gasps) that my submissive is also loving every stroke.

The flexibility and strength of the shaft can, so I’m told (lol!!!), create quite an intense stinging . . . so I always pause after every dozen or so strokes to smooth my partners bum cheeks with the palms of my hand.

His cheeks feel perfectly smooth and warm . . . and have a wonderfully red glow (which the picture below doesn’t really do justice too).

And the slapper also seems just the perfect size and shape to teasingly slide, gently at first, and then “slap” with increasing firmness, against my submissives hanging balls as I command him to “lift your bum, come-on, up on your knees”.

In the two weeks or so since it arrived, I’ve had four or five evenings of fun which have begun with me pulling the Bondage Boutique Riding Crop from my wardrobe and ordering my submissive to “assume the position . . . NOW!!!”

Modesty Rating: 10 out of 10
Pros: Feels wonderful to hold . . . and to use !!!
Cons: I can’t think of any.

I know we are all comfortable with buying clothes and accessories on the internet nowadays, but I still find it’s nice to have a personal recommendation or to physically see and touch and feel something. At least it is for me . . . and especially so when it comes to my latex and lingerie.

So I was really excited to discover two new (to me anyway) companies during my visit to The Great British Tatoo Exhibition recently.

I love latex, but for me it is just one of those items that I just have to see and feel so that I know it is right for me. It always looks so pretty and stylish in those on-line photographs with all those slim and shapely young models. But however much I may like the look,  I am never confident if it would actually be “right” for me. So it was wonderful to discover that Honour had a booth at the show . . . and this “Glamour Corselette” immediately caught my eye.

Lilly, one of the charming young Honour girls, was extremely helpful and suggested a size that she assured me would be the perfect fit. And I’m happy to say she was right . . . it just felt so wonderful to slide into and I just loved the stylish little bow-tie. Sometimes latex can be difficult for me to easily get in and out of (my bumps are not in the right places!) but with a liberal sprinkling of talcum powder, or my “special latex-friendly body moisturiser”, I’ve never had any problems when I’ve worn it since. The shoulder straps are adjustable and it has underwired bust cups which just seem to fit so comfortably and make it feel as though it could have been custom-made especially for me.

Hubby was transfixed by lots of the other items on display . . . but I told him I WANTED “this one” . . . and I  received lots of nice compliments when I wore it out to one of our club-visits recently. It has suspender clips attached at the hem (I have them tucked-up here for these photographs) so I wore it with simple black stockings.

And then imagine my delight when just two stalls along from Honour, I discovered the absolutely wonderful lingerie and swimwear of Buttress & Snatch.

I just LOVE clothing that is different, and fun, and stylish!!! And it’s not very often that I find all three of those elements combined. But finding the Buttress & Snatch stall was like discovering a treasure trove of all sorts of wonderfully colourful and intriguing garments that made me just want to stop and feel them all.

Hubby’s initial reaction was that the clothing seemed “out-of-place” at such an event and he wanted to lead me straight past. But I exclaimed that they “were all so sexy” . . . and I immediately fell in love with a pair of beautiful black lace knickers with a tassel-skirt attachment. “These are lovely, so unusual” I showed him.

Rachel, the wonderfully friendly owner, explained that the garments were all custom-made . . . normally to order, and that this was the first time she had exhibited at a show of this nature.

I was completely enthralled and enchanted by so many of the unique items hanging from her stall . . . they had an almost vintage, retro look about them, yet every item seemed to exclaim “I am a one-off, I am yours, no-one else will look like this”. Rachel explained that her company had been making lingerie for almost 15 years and that her garments had been worn by people like Madonna, Neneh Cherry, Kate Upton and Kate Moss.

But I wanted those knickers . . . before any other Kates (or Katies) came along!

And they are so lovely. They have this wonderful tassle-skirt which can be worn at the front (see my picture above) for those more “modest” moments . . . or reversed to cover one’s bottom (as in my photo below) and display the delightful sheer black lace at the front, and . . . encourage me to wiggle my bottom more!

I just LOVE them . . . they make me feel special . . . and unique, whenever I wear them.

And even better for me having met Rachel, albeit very briefly, I immediately felt at ease in her company and knew I was talking to someone who has a passion for what they do. I love her story (Our Way) and the history of her Buttress and Snatch.

I’m sure I will ordering more from Rachel’s sewing machine very soon.

So, if like me, you like something a little different and unusual . . . I certainly do recommend you explore both of these exciting Latex and Lingerie companies.

Valentine’s Day . . . you all know it’s coming soon don’t you . . . don’t you? . . . Well, just in case you might forget, I’ll be reminding you over the next week or so. Starting gently, from today and then slowly building to a crescendo . . . and you know just how much I REALLY LOVE slowly building to a crescendo!!!

So, to help start things off, the lovely people at The Fantasy Box, who I reviewed >here< before Christmas, have just launched a series of Special Edition Boxes just in time for Valentine’s day!

You can see them all on their site at www.thefantasybox.com

There are four different Special Edition Fantasy Boxes to choose from . . . I’d like to try them all of course, but I’m especially intrigued by the sound of the ‘Valentine’s Day Mis-Direction – it’s Payback time’ box . . . after all, I do often enjoy some naughty and fun payback time!!!

But whichever option you choose . . . and why not choose ALL FOUR, one for every other night of the whole Valentine’s week (with an evening’s rest and recuperation in between!) . . . oohh where was I before I got all excited? Oh yes, they tell me you must be quick because you need to order this weekend (by the 31st) to be sure of getting your box(es) in time.

And they’ve even given us a special code to use to get 10% off …

The post The Modesty Ablaze Valentine’s Day Bulletin No.1 appeared first on Modesty Ablaze.

You probably already know that I like Black . . . Black and Big !!! So I was very excited to receive this Trinity Vibes 11 Inch Inflatable Dildo to review from my favourite on-line Kink store Uberkinky.

I must admit that the outer box isn’t particularly impressive when you first remove the package from the Postal Jiffy Bag, and bubble-wrap, that the parcel arrives in. It’s a thin glossy cardboard box with a rather unflattering design and rather garish (for my taste anyway) colours. But once I opened the top and pulled out the inner plastic bag containing the Trinity, I quickly forgot about it’s packaging . . . because it is . . . certainly BIG!!!

Eleven inches long from tip-to-toe, nine-and-a-half inches of which is actual “insertable” length. And . . . getting straight to the point . . . I can tell you that having shared my bed for the last two weeks, it is absolutely ideal for those moments when I just can’t get the “real thing”, because it’s actually quite realistic in both looks, and “feel”, with a smoothly curved and shaped head . . . and lovely ridges running down the shaft.

The Trinity is made of a soft rubber and is quite pliable and flexible in it’s “flaccid, floppy” state. At this point it’s under two inches in diameter. But, once you start giving it a few little squeezes on it’s hand pump, it soon starts to become quite . . . “erect” . . . and quickly becomes quite firm. Mmm . . . just how I like it!!!

Because it is completely hollow and doesn’t have any core, or shaft inside, I found the best way to play with Trinity was to give him a few squeezes on the pump . . . just to get him started . . . apply some lube (water-based, rubber friendly only of course) and then slowly slide him inside. I then start gently squeezing the hand pump (I imagine it’s his balls I’m playing with) and I can soon feel him swelling and getting bigger and definitely firmer inside and quite quickly filling me up. And, as we all know, it’s a lovely feeling to have that sense of being filled-up inside!!!

Just how filled-up? Well I can’t take any measurements “internally” of course, but just holding the Trinity in my hand, I’ve been able to coax him to well over 8 inches in circumference, and I’m sure you’ll agree, that’s quite “big”.

Unfortunately as the connecting tube attaches into the base of the dildo, it means you can’t actually stand him up on a table or chair or something, or sit down over him. But I suppose if I’m being honest, the only way I could really enjoy something of this length . . . and girth . . . is to be laying down on my back and completely losing myself in some lovely sliding and stroking. That’s much more comfortable than I’d be able to manage if I was trying to sit-down onto it. And the tube which connects the hand pump to the dildo is also 11 inches in length, so it’s quite easy to manoeuvre, even when one is lying back and getting completely lost in “pumping” him up.

The pump is easy to use and even after a few gentle squeezes you can certainly feel the dildo “growing” and you will soon find your own “comfort” level. And should you feel you quickly need to release some of his “size”, just a squeeze on the quick-release valve will immediately shrink the Trinity, just-a-little with a short squeeze, or if you hold the button down, the dildo will deflate completely in a flash. So there is no danger of you getting stuck if you get over-excited.

The Trinity can also . . . apparently . . . be used anally as well. But I haven’t tried that, because I think it’s size would be a little too much for me to feel comfortable with. And besides which, my pussy has been enjoying playing with him so much that I’m perfectly happy with that for the moment . . . thank you very much.

But, if you enjoy being stretched anally . . . as well as vaginally . . . I’m sure you’ll find this impressive dildo will more than fill your needs.

Of course, which-ever entrance you use your Trinity in, you’ll obviously need to give him a thorough cleaning all over with warm soapy water afterwards. I leave it to dry naturally rather than wiping it dry as I find the rubber picks up fibres otherwise. And once dry, I pack my Trinity away back in it’s box to keep it separate from my other rubber or latex toys for the same reason.

Now, I know I keep mentioning that the Trinity is big (certainly big-enough for me) but UberKinky do have even bigger members available at their Dildos page.

But, as I said earlier, I’ve become rather fond of my Trinity Inflatable and I’m sure he’ll be a regular playtime companion in the Modesty Boudoir.

Modesty Rating: 9 out of 10
Pros: Big and fill-filling! And, of course, he does exactly what I command him to do when, where and how hard I want him. Never talks back . . . and when I’ve had enough, he’s completely deflated at the push of a button.
Cons: I’m thinking . . . still thinking . . . Oh, well perhaps it would be nice if the air tube joined horizontally into the base, rather than vertically. And maybe he could have a suction cup there on the base instead. Just for when one does feel a bit more “adventurous”.
Material: Rubber.
Measurements: Circumference (unpumped) 6.25 inches, (pumped) 8.25 inches. Diameter (deflated) 1.9 inches, (inflated) 2.5 inches. Overall Length 11 inches, Insertable Length 9.5 inches. Air-tube Length 11 inches; Hand Pump & Valve Length 4 inches; Circumference 6 inches.
Adjustable: Oh yes!!!
Noise: Squeezing air noise, and lots of gasps and moans!
Colour: Black.
Lubrication: Yes you’ll definitely need some! Water-based, Rubber friendly only!
Batteries: Not required.
Waterproof: Yes.
After-care: Obviously always wash with hot soapy water after, and before, use.

I’ve always been intrigued and fascinated by butt plugs . . . sometimes just from the point of view of liking how they look and feel . . . and by “feel”, I mean to hold in one’s hand, not necessarily to “feel” inside one’s bottom.

It’s not something I always desire . . . and certainly not something I can immediately plunge straight into . . . because, for actual insertion and play, I do have to be absolutely in the right mood. But although I do have my favourite anal toys . . . and my favourite anal situations . . . I do still like to try something new occasionally. And, normally, to try those new toys several times over a period of time. So I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try the Button Butt Plug Silicone Anal Vibrator from the wonderful ladies at Sh! recently.

I’ve had my Button Plug for several weeks now and am happy to say that, after some initial doubts as to whether I would enjoy playing with it more than once, I’m now actually finding it rather a lot of fun!!!

But, first things first . . .

As always with Sh!, the packaging is simple and subtle and nicely packaged in a white laminated cardboard box with the purple Sh! logo stylishly printed on the lid. Now I know lots of people prefer their toys to always be black, but I often like mine to be different colours, so wasn’t surprised, or disappointed, on lifting the lid to discover that their Button Butt Plug is in the Sh! signature purple as well.

Sweetly nestled on a bed of black satiny fabric, my first impression of the Button was that it looked rather like a large baby’s dummy. But as soon as I lifted it out of the box my thoughts immediately turned to it’s real purpose . . . as I just loved the feel of the smooth, silky, silicone which it is made of.

The button, or “plug”, of the toy is almost perfectly round . . . 33mm diameter in fact and attached to the base of the plug by a short neck of approximately half an inch . . . which I suppose you could say makes the insertable length just under one and a half inches. So those rather “modest” dimensions . . . if you will excuse the pun . . . make this an ideal plug if you are a “beginner” or reasonably new to anal play. (Sh! describe the Button as a “small silicone vibrating butt plug”).

The neck then spreads to the rather spherical-shaped base, which at two and a half inches wide, makes for a perfect stopper . . . cupping as it does between one’s cheeks and safely holding everything in place**.

The vibrating element of the Button Butt Plug is achieved with a firm plastic bullet which is inserted into the shaft of the plug. This bullet is 55mm in length and 17mm in diameter and is powered by three cylindrical LR44 batteries which are supplied with, and already inserted into the bullet. You will have to unscrew the top, which extends by about 15mm from the base, and remove a paper cap which breaks the contact. I must admit that I found this rather fiddly to manage at first as it is so firmly embedded within the silicone body. And once I did finally manage to get the vibrations to start I was a little under-whelmed. The vibrations are single-speed, and not particularly strong, and I found the push switch to turn on and off, didn’t always seem to respond . . . and in fact occasionally during use it seemed to turn itself off until I twisted the top to get it back on again, which was distracting or annoying in varying degrees in that first, initial, play session. But perhaps it is just a case of the connectors on my particular button were not quite correctly aligned.

And, of course, as it is completely removable, the button can be easily used for clittoral or nipple stimulation as well . . . though again the buzzing is not quite strong enough for me to enjoy in that way. But to be honest, I always find “inside” vibrations down there more of a distraction and annoyance anyway, even with much more powerful vibrations than this Button Plug achieves. So I quickly disregarded that aspect for playtime with this particular toy. But that is just me and, as we are all different, I’m sure for some of you, the mild and consistent buzzing from this bullet, will be particularly arousing wherever it is used.

However, although I’m not a great fan of the bullet, what I have come to enjoy is the lovely comforting shape (back to the baby’s dummy) of the plug itself.

As with all anal toys you will need to apply a liberal coating of (water-based in this instance) lubricant. The thoughtful ladies at Sh! have included a nice sachet of their own “Pure” brand lube with the box, just for that very purpose. As well as coating the plug itself, I also always pre-finger lube myself . . . or have my partner “help” me with that with their own fingers . . . before gently inserting anything into my bottom.

And . . . provided I’m in that right mood that I earlier mentioned . . . and despite not having a longer, more tapered point like some of my other anal plugs, this button is surprisingly easy to slip in. Of course, it’s only common sense to be slow and gentle (for both insertion and removal), but oohh, it does then feel quite lovely . . . and quite “full-filling” if you know what I mean.

Especially, for me at least, for double-penetration play . . . whether with one’s lover, or a vaginal toy . . . because the Buttons size and unobtrusive shape means it doesn’t get in the way, even during a quite active play session. And that is why . . . as I mentioned earlier . . . that I have been finding it a lot of fun and I’m sure it will be one of my favourite toys for whenever I’m in “that” sort of mood in the future.

Sometimes you can “sense” quality can’t you? Even if you are just browsing on-line and haven’t previously heard of the company, or item, in question.

It may be something as simple as the company name that first attracts your attention . . . or perhaps their branding or design “look” of the website.  Possibly the item description, or more likely the images, entice and intrigue you further. And from the moment you decide to click on that “select” button, you are waiting in eager anticipation for the package to arrive . . . only to find on receipt, that the item you were so excitedly waiting for, simply fails to live-up to the expectation you’d imagined.

Well I can happily report that that was absolutely NOT the case when my Crowned Jewels Farringdon Titanium Dildo recently arrived in my post, because . . . everything . . . about this amazing, luxury handcrafted dildo, just oozes quality, style and substance.

And over the past few weeks it has become my favourite new toy, lovingly nestled beneath my pillow case and frequently caressed and . . . well . . .  I’d better get back to that moment when the parcel first arrived in my post, otherwise I’ll get too carried away again and just won’t get this post finished!!!

So . . . The Farringdon arrived in a really strong postal tube, like the sort of thing you’d expect a picture poster to arrive in, only much stronger and more substantial, thick cardboard and with those strong white plastic caps. I’d imagined the dildo itself would probably just be packaged in a thin box, or bubble-wrap wrapping inside as I un-picked the tape from the top plastic cap and opened the tube. But I was surprised, and excited to discover a wonderfully stylish black cylindrical tube inside.

And, even more stylish and impressive, was the fact that this completely black tube had it’s own cap secured in place with a strong black ribbon running down and around the complete depth of the cylinder and sealed in place at the top with a red wax seal. You know, just like those wonderful seals you’ve seen on TV of those historical-charters and royal decrees. And, of course, to complete the look the seal was impregnated with the Crowned Jewels logo in the wax itself. It made me feel quite special, and privileged in a way, to be peeling open the seal and peeking inside.

Black tissue paper firmly filled the inside of the tube as I pulled out the layers to reveal a lovely black fabric bag with the Crowned Jewels logo printed, stylishly of course, in silver on one side.

And the instant I undid the drawstring of the pouch, and slid the Farringdon out into the palm of my hand, I knew that my “sense” of  quality was not going to be disappointed.  Just the feel, and weight, of the dildo in my hand was lovely to behold . . . and even more stylish and exciting to look at, than the pictures I had seen on the Crowned Jewels website.

I had chosen the “natural grey” colour for my Farringdon . . . more on colours, and choice, a little later . . . but the dildo was actually much more shiny, almost a silvery-chrome looking, than one might expect from the “natural grey” description. And the feel? Oh . . . just heavenly.

It is just over 7½ inches long and slighty curved along it’s length. As you can see from my photos, one end has a larger single, almost egg-shaped bulb, the circumference of which is about 3¾ inches around its widest point. It then tapers down to a narrower shaft for the next half of the dildos overall length, before widening again for the first of four more bulbs, each graduating down in size from the larger one in the middle of around 1¼ inches in diameter, to the smallest at the end, of around ¾ inch in diameter. I was excited by the shapes and feel of these as I rolled and squeezed the dildo in my hand . . . so shiny and smooth against my skin . . . but it was the weight of the dildo that I found most exciting!

The Farringdon is made of body safe, Medical Grade Titanium . . . (completely free of Nickel, Cadmium and Lead) . . . and, as such, is actually lighter than steel (half the weight apparently). But it feels delightfully weighty and substantial, both in ones hand, and also internally!

Now I am of an age where I almost always need some lubricating help nowadays for all of my other, insertable, toys. Even for my favourite “smoothest” silicone or glass dildos I have to begin by applying a coating of lube. But, as I slid that longer stem up and down between my lips and then over my clit for the first time, I immediately began to tingle and swoon. On that first touch, just freshly removed from it’s pouch, the Farringdon felt cold and instantly arousing as it slid against me. And it just seemed to effortlessly glide . . . and slide . . . inside me at the very first moment of asking. I wondered afterwards whether it was just my initial excitement and anticipation, or that first cold sensation of the titanium against me, that had made it such an immediate and easy entry. But actually, for vaginal insertion at least, I have never needed any additional help each time I have used this lovely dildo over the past two weeks. Of course, this may not be the same for everyone, but the joy of such a smooth, highly polished material, is that you can use any of your favourite water-based, oil, or silicone lubricants, should you feel the need. But honestly the shaft and bulbs of the Farringdon are so wonderfully smooth that there is none of the “drag” or texture that I would feel with even the smoothest of my glass dildos.

And that weighty-feel is most certainly not only when you hold it in your hand . . . but internally as well . . . it really does feel heavenly with the larger single bulb stimulating me in just the right spot, especially when I tense and “grip” myself against it . . . or when lying down flat on my tummy. Ooohh!!!

The other, beaded half of the Farringdon, gives some lovely feelings as well. I love laying back and having the stem slowly stroked in-and-out, slowly building up the speed and tempo, and feeling those bulbs pulling and rubbing and fucking against me. I usually, though not always, need clittoral stimulation to bring me to complete orgasm and using the Farringdon in this way with a vibrating wand, or hubby attending to my clit, has given some shuddering, ecstatic, moments since first breaking the Crowned Jewels red-wax seal.

And as well it’s super-smoothness, the other delightful thing I love about my Farringdon is that the titanium is just wonderful for “temperature play”. It feels naturally cold against ones skin anyway at first, but quite quickly adjusts and warms to my body temperature after a few moments. But I’ve found that fun “cold chill” can be prolonged . . . or enhanced if you like . . . by holding it under running cold water for a few minutes.  I’m not advocating, by the way, putting the Farringdon in the freezer, or even the fridge, as that might well be dangerous and getting “freezer-burns” on one’s delicate bits would not be sensible at all.
But if, like me, you do enjoy an occasional cold “tingle” against your lips, (or you may prefer warm-water instead!) then this titanium dildo is the ideal toy to play with.

Now, as I’ve mentioned, I enjoy both ends of this dildo for vaginal play . . . but as you will see from looking again at my pictures, The Farringdon Titanium Dildo is also perfectly shaped for anal insertion.

I have to be in the right frame of mind, to enjoy anal play . . . but I can tell you that on the occasions I have tried (and yes, with a thin coating of lubricant for this style of entry!) those graduating bulbs have given wonderfully intense stimulation and pleasure (again combined, with that necessary attention for me to my front bits, with my wand and helping fingers!!!)

I should point-out that as the Farringdon is so slippery smooth and seems to glide so quickly and easily inside . . . and that it does not have a wide base or stopper . . . so you must ensure that you only allow one half of the length (so 4 inches) as the maximum insertable length. But as the joy of this dildo is the sliding in-and-out, from whatever point of entry, it is quite easy for you . . . or your partner . . . to remember to keep a firm hold on one end!!!

And I will certainly be keeping a firm hold on my Farringdon . . . and often!!!

The Farringdon, like all of the Crowned Jewels range of luxury dildos, anal plugs, cock rings, probes, kegel eggs, pleasure balls and more, is handcrafted in the United Kingdom. Handcrafted to the extent that they actually offer a bespoke design service which means you can have a personal message engraved on your toy, or perhaps gemstones added to make your item even more special and luxurious.

Of course luxury and quality has a value, and whilst you will certainly find cheaper alternatives online, The Farringdon Titanium Dildo is the highest quality item of its type that I have ever experienced, and I would urge you to make Crowned Jewels the very next place you “click to“.

The post Modesty Ablaze reviews the “Farringdon Titanium Dildo” @crownedjewels appeared first on Modesty Ablaze.

I love vibrators . . . now, I know that some ladies say they don’t like to use them because they feel it’s not natural, or perhaps that if they start to use them too often they won’t be able to be aroused, or achieve an orgasm, by any other means.

But I just love trying different toys and new designs, and different and new shapes and sizes. Of course, some work for me, and some don’t . . . or some work for me in different ways . . . but I’m always excited to try something new and different.

But I’d never had the pleasure of experiencing a suction-type vibe before. Until recently that is when not one, but three, arrived in my postbox, all at the same time. Not exactly three completely different ones, as they are all from the same manufacturer . . . Satisfyer at www.satisfyer.com . . . and are all of the same, or similar, suction-style family. But, nevertheless, three different designs, shapes and sizes.

Now, as I said, I do LOVE trying new Toys . . . and several years ago when I first began doing product reviews here at my Toy Reviews pages, I initially thought I had to form an instant opinion from the moment I first opened, and turned-on my new toy. However . . . over a period of time, I’ve found it much better to base my opinion, and my review . . . by taking my time, and coming back to my new play-friend(s) for, at the very least, several different sessions and, if possible, several different situations. Because not only do we each enjoy different sensations in different ways, but also because different situations or different times of the day, or different events that may have taken place during our day, all have a bearing on our frame-of-mind, or ability to relax and enjoy. And for me, I (now) always try to approach my play-times without too many expectations, and try not to think too much about the “mechanics” of my play-friend.

Sooo, over the past few weeks . . . I’ve been experimenting and playing with, in lots of different situations . . . the Satisfyer Pro Penguin, Satisfyer Pro 2 and the Satisfyer 2, (not pro, but WHOA !!!)

Now, before I tell you more about my experimenting, I do have to mention the packaging of the Satisfyers. They each arrived in a lovely glossy cardboard box with a well designed full colour photograph on the top and reverse, and the usual standard manufacturing information on the sides. A circular plastic-seal on the top, and bottom, flaps confirms that the box has not been opened since it’s initial packaging.

Inside the box(es) a thin, clear moulded-plastic, container cradles the vibrator and, in the case of the re-chargeable Pro Penguin and Pro 2, the USB-charging cable.

A small, multi-language, booklet is supplied which details the manufacturing specifications and materials and operating instructions. (Though the type-size for the smaller sized packaging of Penguin is rather too small to be easily read!)

I did think about creating 3 separate reviews, but as the design-principle of each is, (in my mind at least), basically the same . . . I thought it more useful to summarise an overview of each one and explain my experiences and the subtle differences in operation, performance and, of course, enjoyment!!!

Now I mentioned above that the Satisfyer(s) are suction-style vibrators . . . to be used expressly it would seem for clittoral stimulation. But actually Satisfyer say they work on the basis of a pressure-wave stream of air from the “head” of the toy. So not so much suction, but rather waves of air blowing and wobbling over one’s sensitive bits. This air is projected from the cup-shaped head which is designed to be placed directly over the clitoris. (So if one’s clit doesn’t extend in pre-excitement, you may need to help it “come out to play” by spreading your labia slightly apart).

On the Penguin Pro this head is a nicely formed white mouth made from a soft-ish, slightly flexible, ABS plastic. It is quite comfortable to manoeuvre, and in fact the overall shape of the Penguin Pro, with it’s soft silicone body, is probably the nicest to hold of all three of the Satisfyer’s as it fits so easily, and comfortably, in the palm of your hand.

As you will see from my photos, the bulbous widest part that one naturally grips, is 6 inches in circumference with a narrower neck that then widens to it’s smaller head (just under 5 inches circumference). The mouth itself is ½ inch in diameter which is strangely wider than the mouths of the two larger sister-toys. However despite it’s small and discreet size (it’s only 5 inches in length) it’s surprisingly intense at it’s higher settings.

But it is finding, and controlling, the settings that I find frustrating about the Penguin. Particularly when I was first experimenting with it. It has just one, central controlling panel. That larger white tear-drop shape that you will see on my photos. I find it is easier to operate with one’s thumb. It is turned on by firmly pushing the top part of the shape which lights up to indicate it is “on”. It starts at it’s lowest intensity which is increased by pressing the very subtly marked button in the lower, wider, part of the teardrop. One push increases the intensity, another push increases it again . . . up through 11 levels of increasing intensity.

But actually I found the higher levels too intense . . . and frustrating in the sense that there is no backward, decreasing setting, until you have reached the top level when it seems to re-set itself and start at the lowest setting again. Either that or turning the toy off and starting again! This makes finding the “right” intensity level annoying and upsets ones concentration. I also found that the positioning of the button / teardrop shape is awkward in itself because it faces inwards . . . in other words, towards the body. This, for me, made it difficult to manoeuvre and find the right position and pressure for my playtime.

And, although, I have been able to orgasm in subsequent play-sessions . . . and quite quickly (in fact sometimes too quickly) after more practice with the button and my body positioning . . . I would say the Penguin is my least favourite of the three and therefore probably least likely to feature in my playtimes.

The larger Satisfyer Pro 2 is though, much more for me.

Not so soft to the touch, but still nicely shaped and easy to hold. And the larger mouth, with it’s more fully shaped “head” just seems to slide over me and into position more naturally. And also in a much more natural position, for me at least, are the controls. So on the Pro 2 they face outwards from ones body as you would, naturally hold it when playing. The “on/off” button is a distinct separate button on it’s own, with the intensity button a little further up the handle. The handle itself is about the same diameter as the Penguin, but much longer (5 inches) to the L-shaped head. This head extends about 1 ½ inches from the neck, or top, of the handle . . . and as I say, just seems more natural to hold . . . and position.

As with the Penguin, I find the higher intensity levels are actually a little too intense, or “wobbly”, for me. And, frustratingly, also as with the Penguin, there is no “back” button. It is either up-up-up until it reaches it’s top (11th???) level, or you have to, annoyingly, hold the on/off button for a couple of seconds to turn it off completely, and start over. But oh my, once I find the “right” intensity . . . the sensation is simply convulsing. And possibly because the buttons are larger, and separate from the on/off one, I don’t find the Satisfyer Pro 2 to be as frustrating to get myself started as I do with it’s smaller sister.

Sooo, consequently, I admit to having . . . successfully . . . played with my Pro 2, on several occasions over the past few weeks, AND absolutely LOVING the convulsing caresses it gives.

Now, both the Penguin and the Pro 2 are re-chargeable with a quite easy to use, magnetic-disc attachment that is pulled magnetically to two small charging pins on the base of each toy with the other end being attached via a USB connection to a normal / standard USB-compatible charger. (See my photo above). So there is nothing to push into the toys themselves and I’ve had no problems at all with charging and re-charging.

But the final, and largest, of my three Satisfyers . . . just called the Satisfyer 2
. . . is battery operated. Now this (older-style technology), and the fact that it’s design is less “contemporary looking” or perhaps not quite so ergonomic in shape, might lead you to believe that it was going to be the least satisfactory of my three choices.

Well, you couldn’t be more wrong! Because . . . as I said in my introduction . . . Whoa !!! Despite expectations . . . And despite being the last of the Satisfyers in my experimenting, I simply LOVE this toy.

Not because it is the largest (despite what you may think, I don’t judge everything by size!) It is 7 inches in length and harder to the feel than either of the other two. But it is actually no heavier than the Pro 2, and it’s tapered handle is actually just as easy to hold and position. The range and power of it’s intensity also seems to match the Pro 2 . . .

BUT it is it’s control buttons that are the real clincher for me!!! Because, not only are they outwards facing as well, BUT the buttons on the Satisfyer 2 allow one to cycle not only upwards in intensity, but also downwards, which for me, make such a huge difference. It makes playtime so much more fulfilling . . . and Satisfyer-ing . . . to be able to push one-step upwards for just a little-more, but then one-step back down again, if you need to just slow-down . . . and calm-down . . . the sensations again. So much easier to control and so much easier to maintain one’s concentration.

For me playtime, whether it’s alone with one’s toys, or together with a partner(s), shouldn’t be a rush to orgasm . . . I enjoy things most when I am able to take my time, to build-up and slow-down again. To tease and tantalise and titillate and stimulate. And despite it’s impressive power and intensity, the Satisfyer 2 allows me to do just that, to actually “play” more.

But, when I do, finally, want it, the explosive and shuddering convulsions with the Satisfyer 2, have been just shudderingly wonderful.

And with battery powered toys being, I’d thought, almost a thing of the past, I was worried that with the power of the 2, the batteries would quite quickly run-out. (It takes two small AAA’s). But although I am on my second set, I only changed them because I thought . . . “surely they must go flat soon” . . . and I didn’t want them to stop in the middle of playtime.

I was also worried that the twist-to-open and take-off, compartment might affect the “waterproof”-ability of the toy. But I have actually used the Satisfyer 2 in a heavily bubbled, and quite warm, bath, without any loss of power, or detrimental affect. Not that I use any of my favourite toys in the bath very often, (I just don’t find it comfortable enough to fully let myself go), but in the interests of testing the manufacturer’s claims that all three of these toys are 100% waterproof, I did give them all the “bath test”. And whilst they all survived, and were certainly pleasurable, only one actually brought me successfully to climax. And yes, it was the 2 . . . but that was probably more due to the buttons, rather than superior submarine performance.

So, as you can tell, I do have a firm favourite amongst my three newest play-toys. And if clittoral-stimulation does it for you then I would thoroughly recommend, without a moment of hesitation, the Satisfyer 2 as probably the best value-for-money, gloriously orgasmic and quickly efficient (if quickness is also a high priority) clittoral stimulator it has been my pleasure(s) to experience.

So . . . just to summarise each of my Satisfyer experiences . . .

The Satisfyer Pro Penguin, Satisfyer Pro 2 and the Satisfyer 2 were sent to me, free-of-charge,  for an honest and un-biased review.

The Modesty Rider:
I realise, of course, that there are already thousands of long-established Sex Toy Reviewers and Review sites . . . most of whom will be far more adept at explaining all the technical details and specifications of things. But for me, sexy clothes and lingerie, sexy toys . . . and even sexy books . . . are all about adding a little fun and excitement to things. So that is how I tend to approach my reviews and videos!!! Just to explain “how it was for me” in a fun, and light-hearted, way without taking things too seriously! Chances are that if something makes me giggle and tingle and feel good, it will score higher on my Modesty Rating.

The post Modesty Ablaze reviews the “Satisfyer Pro Penguin, Pro 2 & 2” @SatisfyerCOM appeared first on Modesty Ablaze.

As you may have noticed from my posts during this past week, I’m only just back from my (wonderful!) summer hols and am still catching-up on my inbox.

But today, Monday July 31st, is National Orgasm Day . . . so I could hardly let a day celebrating one of my favourite pastimes go without a mention could I ???

And one of several messages mentioning National Orgasm Day, to have arrived in my inbox whilst I was away, which really caught my eye was a post about a NEW intimate skincare range.

It caught my eye because as I said in my Modest Lubrications post last March, I’ve found that as I’ve “matured” over the past few years, I really do need more lubrication than I used to. It’s just a natural consequence of growing a little older of course. The desire is still there . . . but as our bodies change, particularly through menopause, we produce less natural juices.

Now, I haven’t had the opportunity to personally try any of the In2mate products yet but having read the details below, I certainly intend to over the next few weeks. I will of course report back here then, but in the meantime I think today is the perfect time to re-post the information I received about In2mate.

In2mate is a NEW intimate skincare range with almost 100% natural ingredients to help rejuvenate, repair, detoxify and lubricate vaginal skin.

Rejuvenation

Vaginal skin is affected by age like any other area of skin on the body. It receives a high level of wear and tear due to sex, childbirth and tampons, so it’s even more important to preserve skin in this delicate area, and for this, antioxidants are key.

In2mate products are among the first to contain a patented antioxidant called PROTEOLEA® which has been proven to help rejuvenate delicate areas of skin by slowing down age-related oxidised cellular waste degradation, by optimising cellular recycling. This process helps improve flexibility and moisturisation for a more radiant appearance and healthier feel.

Repair

Healthy bacterial balance in the vagina is crucial for maintaining good vaginal health. The humid and airless environment of the vagina combined with sexual activity, makes for an ideal place for the breeding of bad bacteria and fungus.

In2mate skincare contains a patented probiotic Biolin®, proven to help increase the good flora in the vagina while inhibiting the growth of bad vaginal bacteria that can lead to bacterial vaginitis, thrush and other l infections and imbalances.

Biolin® also repairs and strengthens vaginal skin damaged by age-related thinning, chafing and abrasions.

In2mate products also contain Jujube extract, a natural wound healing tonic for helping to repair and strengthen damaged skin.

Detoxifying

The vagina is particularly vulnerable to bad bacteria and so extra defences against toxic build up help protect the vagina from infections.

In2mate products contain Oleuropein, a mild and natural anti-bacterial and detoxifying plant polyphenol, derived from olive trees. Suitable for vaginal skin, it helps shield against the build-up of bad bacteria and also detoxifies vaginal skin leaving it cleaner and purer.

Lubrication

All skin loses moisture with age, but in particular the thin vaginal skin begins to lose moisture when female sex hormones begin to deplete in the run up to the menopause.

In2mate products contain Levan, a natural plant fructose that protects plants against damage from frost and drought by locking in moisture via the formation of a natural micro film over the plant’s surface. Used on the skin it does the same thing, helping lock in moisture and giving skin a smoother more slippery feel.

The right pH?

In2mate products keep the vagina at a pH of 4.5 or below. Normal skin is not as acidic as the vagina. Any product whether it’s a moisturiser, lubricant or wash will also be in contact with skin near the vagina. So In2mate have struck a healthy balance between the skin around the vagina and the tissue within. 4.5 is the perfect pH ‘balance’ because it’s not too high for the vagina and not too low for the skin.

The In2mate skincare range is over 99% natural and includes a gentle, non-perfumed intimate wash, a light non-sticky non-perfumed intimate moisturiser and a natural-feeling non-perfumed rejuvenating lubricant.

The In2mate complete skincare range costs £19.95 (or each item can be bought individually). Visit: www.in2mate.co.uk

And, as I say I will report back here on my own personal experience of the In2Mate Skincare range just as soon as I can.

The post Modestly In2mate . . . because today is National Orgasm Day appeared first on Modesty Ablaze.

One can never have too much of a good thing . . . especially when those good things are as Satisfyer-ing as lovely playtimes with one of my favourite accessories for 2017, the Satisfyer 2.

You may remember that earlier this year I was thrilled to review not just the Satisfyer 2, but the Satisfyer Pro 2 and the Satisfyer Pro Penguin as well. And as I said at the time, although I enjoyed them all, it was the perhaps slightly “older-styled” 2, that I instantly fell in love with . . . and has remained at the top of my toy-drawer ever since. Why? Well firstly because it’s wonderful suction-cup-mouth just seemed the perfect shape, size and fit for my clit. But mainly because it’s so simple-to-use control button, allows one to cycle up and down in intensity . . . and suckability . . . which means I can adjust the pace, and teasing sensations, to suit my mood and thoughts at the time. Neither the Penguin Pro, nor the Satisfyer Pro 2, allowed that same flexibility of play at that time.

But last month, just days before I set off for my summer vacation, the lovely people at www.satisfyer.com sent me their intriguingly titled “Next Generation” series of the Penguin and Satisfyer Pro 2. And I was delighted to learn that, along with several other new features, that oh-so-important function of upwards-and-downwards control had been added to both of their new models.

Now I never take a large case on holiday . . . after-all I rarely need much in the way of clothes!!! . . . but it was an easy decision to find the room for my new
Pro 2. (More on the Penguin later).

And I am so glad that I did . . . because the Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation quickly became one of (the many) fun highlights of my holiday.

On first glance it is very similar to it’s earlier version. The stylish outer box and hygienic seal remains almost the same, as does it’s interior moulded plastic base for the USB charging cable and the Pro 2 itself.

The actual sizing and technical details can be viewed in my usual “Modesty Ratings” panel at the foot of this blog, so let’s go straight to the . . . Satisfyer-ing . . . bits because it truly, truly is even better than before and has even replaced the prototype 2 in my affections as my new favourite playmate.

The accompanying letter from Satisfyer highlighted five “What’s new?” bullet-points.
“- whisper quiet mode” – Well, yes it is quieter than previously, though I certainly wouldn’t describe it as a “whisper”. The noise of it’s predecessor never really bothered me anyway, particularly as my gasps and groans (screams even!), almost always drown-out everything else in the proximity anyway. But yes, it is quieter.
“- with new engines” – I never felt power was a problem with either the 2 or the Pro 2 before as they were both able to give me enough intenstiy. But the power definitely does seem even stronger than before (and I think this is certainly more noticeable in the Penguin Next Generation).
“- with a smoother start” – I personally don’t notice any discernible difference in starting-up . . . but that’s possibly because, by now, I’m already tingling from the moment I first cradle it in my hand.
“- less bright lights” – The light on the power button is certainly not as bright. But I must confess that was never a concern for me anyway. (I normally close my eyes quite quickly once I’ve turned the Pro 2 on !!!)
“- speed control with +/- buttons” – Oh Yes !!! For me, this is the most important improvement in the Next Generation versions. Not just in the flexibility, and change of pace, that being able to change the intensity of that glorious sucking allows . . . but also the fact that the button itself is larger and more intuitive to the feel, and therefore easier to adjust, than on the previous version.

And, for me, there is one more reason why I so love the Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation . . . and that is it’s “mouth”. It is slightly larger and I think ever-so-slightly more oval in shape, than previously and so seems to fit me, and my special joy-spot, much more nicely . . . and enjoyably. Perhaps that is just a personal thing as one size doesn’t fit all, but in this case it seems to pull me in like a magnet, every time I reach for it.

Now, I’m not going to repeat all the descriptions about it’s size, and shape, and colour, nor about the USB charging requirements etc. . . . you can read about all of those things in my previous review >here< because those things haven’t discernibly changed.

BUT, I did want to mention one thing that I wasn’t completely sure about in the original specifications that had arrived with those first three Satisfyers earlier in the year. And that is whether or not they were completely waterproof. Well . . . being on holiday on my favourite Grecian Island, and spending hours every day on the beach, I simply couldn’t resist testing my Pro 2 Next Generation underwater. Yes in the ocean!!!

The people at Satisfyer probably wouldn’t recommend using their Pro 2 completely immersed in salt water . . . BUT I can certainly tell you that I did. On a number of occasions and with lots (and lots and lots) of enjoyment as you can see from the pictures below and . . . if you are really curious, from the movie-clip on my MakeLoveNotPorn #realworldsex video “Summertime Fun“.

And also by the way, as I discovered during that same video, the Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation, isn’t just for clittoral stimulation, because I used it on Hubby who erupted like a volcano within just a few minutes of me applying it to the tip of his erection.

Anyway . . . back to it’s waterproof-ability . . . yes it’s still working perfectly here at home, on dry land, a month or so later!

As I mentioned, the Satisfyer Pro Penguin Next Generation  also arrived at the same time as it’s larger sister, but I didn’t take it on vacation with me . . . you don’t think I’m that greedy do you??? But I have, of course, tried it on several occasions since my return.

I do love it’s new look and I think the black colour (complete with it’s fun, cute bow-tie) makes it much more attractive than it’s previous Pink colour. So it really does suit it’s Penguin name.
It has the same improvements as the Pro 2 in that it is quieter, more powerful and has the ability to increase and decrease the intensity upwards and downwards.

However, I must confess that I find the button much more difficult to operate and synchronize than the Pro 2. The “dew-drop” shaped button serves as both the “on-off” switch and for controlling the intensity levels. But for me it is just too clumsy and frustratingly difficult for me to work consistently, and so consequently I lose my concentration . . . and patience. It is a shame really, because once I do get it turned on, it’s power does seem noticeably higher and stronger than previously. But it’s just that clumsiness that makes it lose its appeal for me.

But then, I just reach for my Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation and immediately forget about any other distractions!!!

So . . . just to summarise each of my Next Generation Satisfyer experiences . . .

The post Modesty Ablaze reviews the “Satisfyer Pro Next Generation” @SatisfyerCOM appeared first on Modesty Ablaze.

If you are a regular visitor to my blog pages here at Modesty Ablaze, you will already know how much I enjoy my Mistressing. And one of the activities I most enjoy with my willing submissives, is administering some fun “impact play”.

I have collected quite a diverse array of impact implements over the past few years, but it is always fun to try something new! So I really was quite excited to recently receive a brand new, spanking paddle from Gratefulpain.

Excited by the look and “feel” of the paddle but also excited because, like all of the items available at Gratefulpain, the paddle was lovingly hand-crafted here in the UK.

GP use locally sourced timber . . . and kiln-dry it themselves . . . and that passion for detail in their manufacturing process was immediately apparent when I unwrapped it’s protective packaging, and ran my hands over the lovely handle and firm blade.

The paddle I was sent is, appropriately, called “The Stinger” . . . more on that later I can assure you!!! Mine has a Yew handle, the wood traditionally used for English longbows apparently, but there are a variety of options available. You can choose between Cherry, Alder or Olive Ash if you prefer. But, as I say, mine is Yew and it does feel wonderfully smooth and comfortable to hold . . . and I shall take great delight in explaining the longbow connection on each occasion I wield it, imagining myself as an over-excited Maid Marion exacting retribution amongst the trunks of Sherwood Forest.

The handle is 5 inches long (almost 130mm) and as you can see from my photos, has a curved shape tapering down from 35mm at the wider top to 20mm in width at the neck as it meets the blade. The shape fits my hand perfectly and is wonderfully smooth, so especially comfortable during prolonged use without any of the jarring, or discomfort, I sometimes experience with my more square-cut handled paddles.

The blade itself is made from Ashwood with an attractive grain running the complete 17 inches (435mm) of it’s length. It is 40mm wide and 6mm thick, and amazingly firm and rigid without feeling heavy at all. At least to hold and wield that is . . . I’m told that in “contact” it feels quite heavy indeed. And with a total length (including the handle) of 22 inches (560mm) it is certainly a very impressive looking, and feeling, instrument.

And I LOVE the dull slapping-thud sound it makes on impact. The first sub I used it on . . . two weeks ago now . . . described it after a few hard strokes as “like being hit with a cricket bat”. I laughingly replied “Well it’s much, much lighter to swing than a cricket bat would be . . . and I’m just going to keep going on and on, imagining your bum is a big red cricket ball!” It certainly did leave wonderful red blushes across both his cheeks, without breaking skin or leaving large welts. And I know he enjoyed it because he has requested I bring it along again for his next session.

And, in the meantime, I shall be using it again with a different slave this weekend . . . so check back here for future updates on how the “Stinger” has been received by different recipients in the coming weeks.

My only criticism of my “Stinger”, is that it didn’t have a cord or strap with which to loop it around my wrist as I occasionally pause whilst administering a paddling. And also with which to hang it up in my “Canes, Whips, Crops & Paddles” cupboard.

BUT . . . Gratefulpain tell me that a wrist loop is an option which can be requested, or selected, during the ordering process on their website. The wrist-loops are made from platted leather cord, (with para cord options soon to be available). The cord is attached to the very end of the handle, secured vertically into the centre from the top of the handle, so as not to impede with ones hand whilst holding and striking.

So, that minor aesthetic issue aside, I absolutely love my “Stinger” . . . and I really do recommend you visit their excellent website, from my Ratings Panel below, for more information on an impressively wide range of quite-unique, handcrafted, impact instruments and BDSM fetish items.

Modesty Rating: 10 out of 10
Pros: Wonderfully hand-crafted. Strong, comfortable handle and smooth firm blade.
Cons: Mine came without a wrist-loop, but as mentioned above this is available when ordering.
Material: Locally-sourced, kiln-dried wood.
Measurements: Overall length 22 inches (560mm). Handle length 5 inches (130mm) and 30mm wide at it’s widest point. The blade is 17 inches (435mm) long, 40mm wide and 6mm thick.
Noise: A lovely slapping thud.
Colour: Natural wood.
Waterproof: No . . . you shouldn’t use in the shower!
Cleaning: I always wipe clean with an anti-bacterial wipe after use. GP advise to wipe with butchers block oil from time to time. (Leave for a few minutes to penetrate wood and then wipe clean).

I realise, of course, that there are already thousands of long-established Sex Toy Reviewers and Review sites . . . most of whom will be far more adept at explaining all the technical details and specifications of things. But for me, sexy clothes and lingerie, sexy toys . . . and even sexy books . . . are all about adding a little fun and excitement to things. So that is how I tend to approach my reviews and videos!!! Just to explain “how it was for me” in a fun, and light-hearted, way without taking things too seriously! Chances are that if something makes me giggle and tingle and feel good, it will score higher on my Modesty Rating.

I know that suction-style, clitoral stimulators are not for everyone . . . but ever since I first came into contact (literally as well as figuratively) with the Satisfyer range early last year, I’ve loved regularly reaching into my bedside drawer for my favourite Pro 2.

So I was absolutely thrilled to receive three of the next generation, “Satisfyer Pro”, series recently.

And what made me even more excited on first opening the box, was to discover three quite different toys within . . . because the new “Pro Series” comprises of the Satisfyer Pro G-Spot Rabbit, the Satisfyer Pro 4 Couples and the Satisfyer Pro Plus Vibrator.

Now as always with new play-things, I like to experiment . . . and experience . . . them over the course of several weeks. I find that different situations and different moods allow me to discover what I like, and perhaps what I don’t, about a new toy, rather than rushing headlong into making an instant judgement.

So . . . over the course of the next month or so, I shall be “reviewing” each of the new Pro Series Satisfyer’s separately here at my Toy Review pages.

But, in the meantime, the lovely people at Satisfyer have a very special
Easter Weekend Discount Offer which I am delighted to share with you . . .
25% OFF any of their wonderfully fun range of toys!!!

The offer is open to readers from within Europe, Canada or the USA only, between March 30 and April 2, when ordering any items from their lovely website at: www.satisfyer.com.

Just enter my Modesty Ablaze discount code of  modestylablaze25
at checkout, to take advantage of the already amazingly reasonable prices
for even less.

PLUS . . . I have even more Satisfyer-ingly exciting news, and a little challenge, to share with you. Sally at Satisfyer has given me one extra of each of the three Pro Series toys above to give-away, absolutely free.

So, what I shall do, over the next month or so, is to make a subtle mention or hint, of something “Satisfyer-ing” within the text of my occasional blog-postings here. It won’t be in every post, and as I say, I hope to make the hints quite subtle, but the first reader to message me from my “Contact Modesty” form quoting the specific “hint” in the relevant post, will win one of the three Pro Series toys. It will be first-come, first-served . . . and due to postage etc. will only be available to my readers within the UK. But I’m sure it will be fun . . . and “satisfying” . . . for all of us.

So, keep reading . . . and don’t forget that Special 25% OFF Easter Weekend offer using my discount code above.

Enjoy !!! Xxx – K

I’ve been very lucky over the past few years to acquire quite a collection of restraint and bondage accessories during my fun “hobby-time” sessions. But of course, it’s always nice to have more to choose from whenever I’m packing my bag(s) for a new appointment.

So it was quite a thrill recently to be asked by my favourite fetish-fashion company honour.co.uk, if I would like to review one of their new HNRX Bondage items.

I first came across Honour in the summer of 2014, at The Great British Tattoo Exhibition, where I bought my first Latex Corselette. And I have purchased numerous items of clothing from the wonderful, and easy to use, Honour website in the four years since.

And having often been seduced by their amazing range of clothing in the past,
I was certainly intrigued to “test” a set of their HNRX Rubber Wrist and Ankle Cuffs.

As always, the parcel arrived perfectly and discretely packaged, in a strong brown cardboard box, which upon opening, contained two separate, black cardboard boxes (approx, 4 inches square) for the Cuffs themselves, and two smaller rectangular boxes for two “Trigger Hook” devices (more on these later).

As you can see from my photos here, the boxes are all stylishly designed in Black and Purple with strong, white corrugated cardboard inner sleeves lining the Cuff boxes which also contain two metal locks and keys for each Cuff set.

Both Cuffs are made from heavy rubber latex which is actually very stiff . . . much, much stiffer than you would probably imagine. In fact my initial reaction on taking them out of the box is that they felt “too stiff and unwieldy” in comparison to my existing collection of (well used) leather bondage cuffs.

However, I am happy to say that my concern was only temporary as the natural curve of the rubber actually made them quite easy to attach to my willing assistant. They seem to hold their shape more than my leather cuffs and, I was told, felt “quite smooth and comfortable” once buckled-up . . . at least until he was clipped to the flogging-frame!

The manufacture of the cuffs is sturdy and impressive with the inner bands themselves being almost 3mm thick and 50mm wide. These bands are secured to a thinner (25mm wide) outer tongue-strap by four rows of chrome double studs. This outer strap has a chrome D and O ring at it’s middle, with a heavy duty chrome buckle at one end, and six slots to fit over the buckle tongue when secured.

The Wrist Cuffs are 27cm in length (to fit wrists from 12 to 22cm circumference), whilst the Ankle Cuffs are 32cm in length (to fit ankles from 20 to 29cm circumference). And, having had the pleasure of using them twice now since their arrival in my mailbox, I must say that despite my initial concern about their rigidity, I am very impressed.

Especially when used in conjunction with Honour’s ES Double Trigger Hooks. These are separate accessories to the Cuffs, but I highly recommend that you purchase . . . not just because they clip so easily into the O-rings of the HNRX Cuffs, but because they clip so easily into absolutely anything with buckles, chains, hooks or loops.

These heavy duty, double-ended Hooks are 10cm in length and are made from Die Cast Zinc, with a Chrome-like finish, with an easy-to-use trigger-release mechanism at each end. They are light to handle and just perfect for quickly attaching . . . and quickly releasing whenever you are ready. So a safe and user-friendly accessory for the user and the used . . . if you know what I mean, and I really do recommend these as must-have items for all of your every-day restraint requirements!

So . . . as I said earlier . . . I have been shopping at honour.co.uk for lots of my play-time latex and lingerie for several years, but these exciting Rubber Cuffs have certainly piqued my interest and I am sure to be tapping on that “Bondage” tab more and more in the future.

As always, there are some more technical descriptions of the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Wrist & Ankle Cuffs below:

The post Modesty Ablaze reviews the ES Bondage Rubber Cuffs from @HonourClothing appeared first on Modesty Ablaze.

I’ve had a lot of fun over the past few weekends wearing-in the set of Rubber Wrist and Ankle Cuffs, from Honour.co.uk, that I reviewed here several weeks ago. By “wearing-in” I don’t mean that I’ve been wearing them myself of course . . . rather I’ve used them on several of my subs during some fun sessions at my favourite chambers . . . and they’ve proved very useful indeed!

Now I’ve always loved the fabulous range of clothing and accessories available from Honour, particularly their amazingly priced latex range and their wonderful selection of body-stockings. And over the past four years or so I’ve purchased, or had purchased for me, lots of clothing items, and even my wonderful thigh-high red boots which I am so often asked about . . . from the fabulous Honour website.

So when I was invited to visit their Central London shop in Waterloo recently,
I just couldn’t resist !!!

Located in a lovely little street called Lower Marsh, it is literally just around the corner from Waterloo station, so really easy to get to by tube, rail or bus. Instantly recognisable from the distinctive Honour logo above the display window, one has to ring the bell to enter, but don’t be put-off, that just adds to the intimacy and personal-nature of the shop. We were immediately greeted by a lovely smiling young lady who opened the door for us and welcomed us in.

The shop was Honour’s founding store, opened 30 years ago, and inside is like an Aladdin’s cave of wall-to-wall garments, neatly displayed on impressive hanger-racks on each side of the long galley-shaped ground-floor. The actual sight of so many wonderful and colourful items was almost overwhelming at first, but actually everything is so neatly arranged in size and style . . . and the two lovely young ladies Amy and Anita so charming and helpful . . . that I quickly felt completely at ease, and able to indulge myself in browsing from rack to rack.

The ground-floor largely features Honour’s Women’s Wear with a wonderful array of PVC and Leather, Latex and Wetlook, Basques & Corsets, Dresses, Tops, Skirts, Bras, Catsuits, Leggings & Trousers, Jackets, Stockings & Suspenders, Body-Stockings, Knickers and Lingerie.

I was in my element . . . and soon had several hangers-worth of items that I simply had to try on.

The changing rooms have been cleverly and stylishly designed to make the best of the available space with ample mirrors and lighting . . . and Amy and Anita were both wonderfully patient in taking turns with helping me with the zips and buttons,
in-between serving and helping other customers at the same time, and advising on the most suitable size to best fit my bumps and curves.

Putting my preferred selections to one side . . . so that I could come back to them and be sure that I had made the right choices . . . I then led Hubby upstairs which houses the Men’s Wear and Bondage items and “toys”.

Now as you can probably imagine, I already have quite an extensive collection of restraints and impact implements, but a fabulous thorny-stemmed Riding Crop (see below) quickly caught my eye, and a few short gulps from Hubby as I tapped it gently against the palm of his hand.

Just like the ground floor every space is, stylishly, packed with an amazing array of clothing and some very interesting dildos, vibrators and accessories.

I enjoyed browsing . . . and teasing Hubby with some rather large insertables . . . but decided to stick with my new crop, and instructed him to follow me back downstairs.

As I mentioned earlier, Honour do have a fabulous website which is perfectly laid-out, easy to use and categorizes their complete and comprehensive range of wonderful items. And there is a helpful touch-screen tablet on a stand near the downstairs counter, which makes it easy to search for specific items one may be interested in, or have seen on the website earlier.

But for me, as you might imagine, I much prefer being “hands-on” in everything I do . . . so nothing beats being able to browse in a real shop, to touch and feel . . . and of course to try things on. And it was nice to see other couples, browsing and purchasing whilst we were there, who obviously felt the same way.

And of course, the helpful and knowledgeable attention and advice from Amy and Anita made my shopping feel even more special . . . so I really do recommend you visit and experience some Honour for yourself.

The shop at Lower Marsh (SE1 7AB) is open Monday to Friday from 10.30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed on Sundays). There is also a store in Watford (WD18 7EN), with directions to both on their website.

The Modesty Disclaimer: I was given a voucher for my honest and un-biased review here. But I loved my time in the shop so much that I spent much more . . . or should I say, I made Hubby spend much more . . . because after-all a lady deserves spoiling occasionally doesn’t she !!!
