Hey everyone! Just before this post I let yall know about more stock in the shop.
THESE WILL. LIKELY BE THE LAST ITEMS SOLD ON THE ETSY PLATFORM.
Once I’m moved and settled I will be moving off of etsy and to a different, to be determined, site. I will also be raising my prices a bit as I will be attempting to do this full time in a more stable and stress free environment. My plans are to get more chambers to be able to make more toys at a time, and possibly make doubles of my molds! Providing I can get my laptop to talk with my cintiq again, I will hopefully have new models as well as new 3D printed versions of the older hand scupted models! Fingers crossed on those!
I thank you all for your continued follows, reblogs and support. I couldn’t do it without you!
Yet numerous people report bleeding with the Lelo Sona or Sona Cruise! I checked Twitter and Reddit and found 6 others, plus myself. It’s easy to see why this is happening – there’s a distance of only 7.8mm from the outer edge of the nozzle to the moving motor bit inside. That’s the length of my pinky finger from fingertip to the bottom of my nail bed. Neither the smallest Womanizer nor the smallest Satisfyer has this problem; there is abundant room between the edge and the motor.
And that’s not the only problem!
It’s loud.
It’s (a little too) intense – good for some but I need to build up on these toys.
It’s awkward (and sometimes painful) to hold.
There’s only a 1-year warranty vs 2 years from Womanizer.
The round nozzle is incredibly small, much smaller than other brands. It won’t work for larger clits but shouldn’t be used by ANY clits, in my opinions.
IT HAS PATTERNS. NO. Entering into patterns on a pressure air sex toy, one that is already intense, is akin to that burst of pain you feel when you consume a hot or cold liquid and you have dental pain. That sharp, wrong-feeling, nerve-zapping makeitstoppppp feeling is what I felt any time I accidentally went into patterns.
Like the ill-fated SenseTouch of the Lelo Smart Wands, “Cruise Control” is some bullshit. It works randomly and strangely, not at all like it’s supposed to. I could tell you to just get the regular Sona instead, but I won’t. I don’t want you getting ANY Lelo Sona. Literally any other Womanizer or Satisfyer will do.
I hate Lelo and will continue to hate them, but so many people asked about this in comparison to the Womanizer and Satisfyer models. There’s more info about this on the full review, including video to hear what the motor sounds like, so check that out!
Turning to fantasy toys because mainstream’s too big? Saw Bad Dragon’s minis and felt like you’d never be able to take them? On HRT? Have vaginismus? Trying out a version of toying you’ve been wary of (yeah, the butt stuff)? On a smaller budget? Just want a smaller toy? Check out these stores and models for your tiny toy needs!

An on-going sex-toy-myth-busting battle I deal with weekly is the myth that silicone toys can never, ever touch in storage or they’ll “melt”.
I created a jar of silicone toys years ago to help combat this, and to contrast with the Melted Jar of Horrors that is PVC and TPR toys. But one mason jar of silicone doesn’t seem to cut it.
Last week in my kitchen a lightbulb went off. I realized how many silicone kitchen utensils exist – the lids for your Rubbermaid containers; ice cube trays; baking pans; hot pads and trivets; spatulas and turners and scrapers oh my; cupcake cups and egg poaching cups; pinch bowls and collapsible bowls. These items touch and mingle in our drawers and on the store shelves with nary a problem.
Yet, somehow, people don’t seem to be putting 2 and 2 together. Many of our sex toys are made from an even better quality silicone than some of the cheaper kitchen tools, yet you don’t see these kitchen tools come with warnings about storage. They don’t tend to be packaged for separation on the shelves, either. At most they have a cardboard sleeve around part of it, for utility’s sake, but that’s about it.
Between my house and a kitchen store, look at all these silicone things, mingling and touching and storing for months and years! No problems!
Of all the materials that people can make sex toys out of, silicone is one of the best. I can teach you how to tell if it’s not actually silicone; it can be had for cheap, despite what some manufacturers have been trying to tell us and still be high quality (unlike metal or glass). It can be sanitized. It can be firm or squishy, black, white, clear or 16 different colors at once.
And yes, it can mingle. You can throw em all in a giant tub and all will be fine. Believe me yet? Check out the links in this post to learn more, and spread the education!
