Review of the Nexus G-Rider

If you are into anal toys, you’ve probably noticed the Nexus G-Rider, whether you have a prostate or not, as it has a very interesting shape and an alluring base. The best bases for anal toys are sadly hard to find, and I’m glad I had the chance to try the Nexus G-Rider, by LB IMG_1381Trading Ltd, for it has a really good one.

Presentation

This prostate massager is especially firm in density and it’s a good thing that the curved tip, or nose, helps with inserting it. With or without the motor, the silicone on this toy is particularly firm and will only have more give at the neck without it. Once inside, the Nexus just seems to be swallowed by the body up to the neck, at least for anal play, and the firmness presents no disadvantages.IMG_1379

The silicone is velvety all around the toy, except for the line when a seam would be. It looks like the seam was mechanically removed and left a sort of micro texture that does not feel so soft on the fingers, but that you can’t really feel during use. However, it makes cleaning more difficult as well.

I had some trouble getting the battery inside at first, as there was some sort of glued tape holding two wires that had rolled and was getting in the way of the battery. I assume it was an isolated incident as no one else mentions something of the sort, but after removing it with tweezers and making sure the wires weren’t in the way, everything worked just fine.

IMG_1369This vibrator can easily be used as a regular butt plug after you have removed the motor, and even if you keep it in.

Size

The toy is what I’d call average in size, because at the widest part, it has a circumference of a little bit more than 5 inches. The head, from tip to back, has a length of 1.75”, but is quite slender being slightly less than an inch in width. The whole toy is 5” and is insertable for 4”. The base is fairly long, with 4.5”.

Vibrations

There are five vibration settings that are all of moderate intensity but that are well felt during anal play. The first one is rather unique, and starts as a quick escalating and deescalating pattern followed by a series of continuous faster pulses. The second is a two- to three-second-long constant vibration followed by a second-long pause. The third one is the constant vibration mode. The fourth one is single pulses interrupted by pauses. The last one is a series of three throbbing IMG_1380pulses followed by a pause. To turn it on and off, the button has to be held for about two seconds.

Female Opinion

I could not feel the vibrations vaginally as well as I did when it was inserted anally. Although the Rider did a superb job at finding my g-spot, I found the material to be slightly too firm for that use. I much preferred the sensation it offered for anal play, and it did feel amazing. It’s hard to say what made it such a great toy for me, as it didn’t seem to be filling me up or stretch me, but my body did sense it and took great pleasure from that shape and vibrations.

For either use, I was not stimulated by the nubs at the base or feel the vibrations through them. I IMG_1361did feel them against my clitoral area during vaginal insertion, but just because they rested against my skin. As for anal play, I could not even feel them.

I would have like to ride the Rider a little in a rocking movement, but as my butt cheeks are very cushiony, it didn’t work all that well. I could not achieve anything better than movements that would poke me. I was curious to know if I could change the vibrations with a rocking motion, so I can’t really say if it could work.

With the size of the base, vaginal penetration would not be possible at the same time, in case you’d like to try.

Male Opinion

Yes, I did ask for a guy opinion for this one, and I actually felt like I had no choice for reviewing a toy made for prostate massaging.

With the Nexus G-Rider, the orgasm that ensues is supposedly amazing and powerful. The firmness was just right and the shape and size was apparently perfect. The size didn’t feel too IMG_1364large for one who plays at an intermediate level in anal toys. However, larger than that would have been too much with the firmness of the toy. This toy has definitely become an instant favorite.

The vibrations were very interesting, especially the escalating one, which is a vibration pattern that is not that often available on vibrators. The nubs were not particularly felt during insertion either, but the base was extremely comfortable as the sides are round and don’t dig into the skin at all. This toy makes it easy to sit computer chair for a long period of time without being uncomfortable.

Care

While the silicone is easy to care for, and you can find information about it here, the motor is not waterproof. So you will have to turn the toy upside down for washing or remove the motor entirely. At least it was be easily removed and put back in with some twisting.

Review of the Silicone Explorers

The Sinclair Institute Select Silicone Explorers is a set of three small-sized silicone butt plugs or probes that are made to be controlled by a finger. The sizes range from tiny to small, where the largest one is similar in size to the regular beginner-friendly butt plug. So they are far from being intimidating, especially to someone who is completely new to anal play. 

The sex toys are made of pure premium silicone, which is somewhat firm, but bendy in the thinner areas. The silicone feels very silky. If you want to know more about caring for a Silicone Explorers silicone toy, click here. The hardly perceivable seams along the toy have been carefully trimmed so that they would not be felt during use. There are really no sharp edges to any of the plugs, and the change in sizes along the insertable part is so gradual that it’s actually hard to feel it. The tips are small and help with guiding the toy for penetration as long as enough lubricant is used.

Their sizes are:
Pink: 2” long with ½” diameter
Green: 2.5” long with ¾” diameter
Blue: 3” long with 1” diameter

Unlike regular butt plugs, the anal explorers do not have a base, and this is why it is very important not to use them without having a good grip on them. The loop at the base is where you need to slip your finger. It helps to lube your finger with a water-based lubricant before inserting the finger in it, but you do not want to make it too slippery in case you lose your grip on it during use. The main disadvantage I found with this set is the size of the finger handle, which has an unstretched diameter of 7/16”. I consider that I have small fingers, and I can barely fit a finger in  them past the first articulation. The only finger I can completely fit in those loops is my pinkie and I could tell right away that the blood flow was interrupted. The silicone can be stretched, but most people, mostly women, will still only be able to insert a fingertip in there, and it is more problematic for male fingers. Besides, the blue one can be less stretched than the others, since the loop is thicker than the other two.

Silicone Explorers Base 2However, it is still possible to use this set without being able to insert a finger in them. Why, you may ask? Well, here’s the thing: you can use this set to create a base for each of the plugs. For instance, if you lube up the pink plug, you can insert it in the other two’s handle so that it acts as a base. I also found a way to create a base for the pink one, so you would still be able to use it, but it requires a LOT of lubricant so that you can slip the pink one over the insertable part of the green one and add some more to be able to remove it after use. Obviously, it was not made to be used this way, but it works and will make up any insecurity that you may have by not having a firm fingertip grip on the loop. I guess it pays to be especially practical and inventive.

I really like the colors of this set, and I’ve rarely seen this shade of green in silicone. I suppose that with the pretty colors, this set is designed more to a female audience and that, as a result, it would make sense that the finger loops are not particularly large. Since I thought that it would be cool to have a partner play with me with this set as part of a warm up that would lead to anal IMG_0457sex, I would have liked this set to accommodate larger fingers. I’m glad I found ways to bypass this drawback, since I really thought that I would be the only one to be able to use it on me or on a partner. Still, my main recommendation is for women who want to slowly and gently experiment with anal play on themselves alone or on their partner. And if you don’t mind playing around with this set to provide a makeshift base for these plugs, then there is no real limitations to the person who can use this.

The presentation of the box is really clean and sober with images of the toys on the sides. Within the box is a plastic display and useful information about caring about them is also provided on the box.

Review of the Cal Exotics Ultimate Love Pacifier X10 Duo

On the forums at Edenfantasys, I’ve read a post about people designing their own sex toys, and the one that I would have wanted to design was very, very close to the Ultimate Love Pacifier X-10 Duo. I wanted to try a toy that I would insert in both the vagina and the anus at the same Love Pacifier X-10 Duo Bluetime. Yes, a type of double plug. Not long afterward, I stumbled on this product by California Exotic, and I knew I had to try it. Surprisingly, the other people who reviewed this toy had used the parts independently from one another, and I was still puzzled at its double performance. 

The Ultimate Love Pacifier is made of pure silicone and is probably the firmest type of silicone I’ve felt so far. Seriously, it’s not just firm, it’s rigid with only the tiniest give to it that tells you it’s not completely hard. The toy is only malleable at the thinnest points. The surface is very smooth and polished, and does not add any friction during insertion. To read about silicone and how to care for it, read my post here. Note that it is not a toy that one can use easily with a condom, so make sure to sanitize if you want to share.

This toy is not particularly large, since the two parts are, that is according to me, meant to be used simultaneously for dual penetration. Even if the description of this product says it’s a IMG_0357prostate massager, I’m pretty sure that this Pacifier performs much better with a woman’s body. The diameters of the three anal beads measure ¾”, 7/8” and 1 1/8”, and there is about 4” of insertable length. The diameter of the vaginal ball is 1 ¼” and that vaginal part has about 2” of  insertable length. The width of the base is 3/8” and connects the two parts together at the base with a loop with a pointy end, which is used for removal.

I’ve used the three small bubbles anally and used the larger one vaginally. I’d insert the anal part first and once it’s in, I would just push the ball inside. That way, the base sits very comfortably between the ass cheeks and I could hardly feel it. The pointy end is just for looks, because it points away from the body. When inserted, the anal beads feel like you have a medium-sized butt plug Love Pacifier X-10 Duoin, but it’s only when you squeeze your muscles that you’ll feel the vaginal ball more. Surprisingly, the larger ball also acts like a vaginal ball, and you do have to make sure that your muscles are supporting it for some movements, like sitting down, or it could slip out. Since there is an anal part, the vaginal ball cannot actually fall out or make you feel embarrassed if you are in public.

I tried it for 10 minutes before deciding that it would comfortable enough go to the movies. So, the first time I tried this on, I used it for three hours sitting down. I would frequently squeeze my muscles on it, and give myself shivers of pleasure. The firmness of this toy is what makes it very pleasurable since you can feel it, and what makes you want to take it out after a few hours of sitting down. You can never forget that it’s Love Pacifier X-10 Duothere, but at one point, it does take a toll on your anus. It’s not very bad that you have to take it out immediately, but it’s still some discomfort. However, it’s easier on the ass if you are standing up or walking than if you are sitting down and you can keep it for a longer period of time. There is a slight seam running along the middle and reflection point of the toy, but I did not really feel it during use, insertion or removal.

The Love Pacifier X-10 Duo comes in a recyclable plastic package with no instructions except how to wash it.

This toy is a take-out option for double penetration, and it’s really fun to have. You can get your own at this sex toy store.

Review of the Tantus Infinity Royal

I recently reviewed the Tantus Buzz 1 for a sex shop I trust, and when I felt how wonderful the head of this toy felt when I inserted it anally, I decided that I wanted a butt plug similar in size and shape. Obviously, I looked up Tantus’ other products first in order to get the same silicone  Tantus Infinity Royaland quality, and finally found the Tantus Infinity Royal, in a very pretty shimmery purple haze color.

I really can’t say how much I like Tantus’ silicone, it’s always so smooth and lustrous, and it not only feels fantastic, but does not drag at all against the body. This also makes it easier to try a larger-sized toy. The silicone on this toy is also quite firm, and give only after a firm squeeze. If you try to bend the Infinity Royal, it will very slightly bend between the bulbs, but mostly at the  neck. The 100% pure-premium, platinum silicone is also body-safe since it’s hypoallergenic, non-porous, odorless, latex and phthalates-free, non-toxic, and is easy to clean and sanitize. Silicone is my favorite toy material, but one just has to be careful not to use a silicone-based lubricant with a silicone toy, and not mind too much the lint it attracts overzealously.

The Infinity Royal is not a small butt plug, but it not a particularly large toy either. The insertable part has a bulbous part of about 3.5” long and a neck of 1” long for a total of 4.5”. The diameter of the infinity sign is 1.5” at the largest point on the bulbs and is 1.25” at the narrowest part. The neck itself is 1” wide. The base of this plug is very wide and thick, and there is so way whatsoever that you can worry about it being sucked in during wear. The base itself is shaped like an hourglass, and is roughly 3” long, 2” wide at the extremities, and measures 1.5” at the narrow part.

Tantus Infinity RoyalSo like I said, it’s nothing small, and yes, I figured it may not be the most comfortable thing. Moreover, I had read a few reviews about the Infinity Royal, and I was aware that the corners of the base might poke, but I was fine with that. Besides, I had another butt plug that wasn’t exactly  the most comfortable thing at the base and I was still very satisfied with the insertable part.

So I picked up my water-based lubricant, and started inserting the Infinity Royal. At this point, I am able to insert a butt plug of this size without warming up with a smaller toy, but if you can’t, I recommend using a smaller butt plug or a graduated anal probe. I worked my muscles around the Infinity Royal, and once the larger part was completely in, I let go of the base, and let myself enjoy the sensations. It really felt good, filled, and was giving me instantaneous goose bumps every time I squeezed my muscles on it.

So, after walking around and sitting with it after about 2 hours, I was wondering when the base would start poking, because it was comfortable and seemed to fit nicely against the cheeks. I could feel that the base was there, but it was not poky or uncomfortable. Then, after remembering that most of the plug’s neck was not inserted, I pushed it deeper between my butt cheeks, and that’s when I started to feel the corners of the base. I guess that’s probably what most people did when they tried the plug and used all the insertable length. If that’s not the case, well then, I probably just have a butt made for Tantus.

To care for the Tantus Infinity Royal, you can wash it with a mild soap and water, as well as a toy cleaner. In order to sanitize it, you can boil it for 3 minutes, soak it in a 10% bleach solution and you can put it in the top rack of the dishwasher (with no soap). It’s also recommendTantus Infinity Royal Packageed to use a condom over this toy if you intend to share with a partner.

The Infinity Royal is packaged in a completely recyclable plastic display with information about silicone, but does not come with instructions. A pure silicone toy should be stored away from other soft materials and other toy in other grades of silicone. A lint-free bag or a plastic bag is recommended for storage.

I recommend this toy for whoever wants to bring their anal play to an intermediate level, for people who want a toy that warms you up well for anal sex or just for people who want a good quality butt plug of a moderate size.
