This may look like a little suitcase, or hardware storage box, but if you look a little closer…it’s actually a Tunti Toy Box! Tunti Enterprises is a woman run business that takes an obstacle such as hiding sex toys, lubricants, and adult DVDs into a easy task. I have a lot of sex toys, that’s no secret, and storage is very important to me. It can be a real buzz kill (ahem, get it?) when the roommates stumble onto your vibrators. So for a long time, I stored all of my sex toys in a luggage bag. While it did the job of hiding my goodies, it was big  and bulky and not easy for travel. Now I used my Tunti case! The Tunti Illuminating Boudoir Toy Box is truly a unique storage method. The box is very discreet, and it’s not something that someone would expect to hold a plethora of your adult novelties. The case can fit beneath a bed, it’s light-weight, and it’s made of high quality materials, so you don’t have to worry about dropping the case…I did once, and my toys, and the toy box, we’re still in brand new condition!

This toy box holds vibrators, dildos, lubricants, DVDs, and whatever else your naughty little heart desires. The bottom of the case in lined in a quality material that can easily be wiped clean, and comes with coated foam inserts that can be used to create different storage space. You can create rows, or columns for all of your toys, whatever works best for your toy setup. The upper part of the toy box is coated in a velvet like material that is soft and pretty, it also has a Velcro mesh storage pouch where you can hold condoms, lube, and even cords and wires from rechargeable toys. There is a lot of space in this toy box! It fits a lot of my toys very nice. Another cool thing about this toy box, is that if you insert two AA batteries into the top compartment, the boudoir lights up! Similar to a light up makeup mirror lights, the upper part of the toy storage box boasts a row of little lights, which will illuminate the inside of your toy box upon opening the lid. No more fumbling around in the dark to find your toys! How cool is this? I thought this was so fun, and it really makes the whole toy box really pretty, and displays the toys really well.

Another great thing about the toy box is that It has a removable plexiglass insert that works as a cover, to protect the contents of your sex toys. It’s a clear slide so that you can still see your sex toys, but it will protect it from dust, or any lubricant spillage or anything like that. I love this toy case! It’s been such an asset to my sex toy storage. It also comes with two keys so you can lock the toy box. You can get your hands on the Tunti Toy Box for $89.95 at TuntiEnterprises.com. It really is such a good deal and a true investment for any avid sex toy fan. You can find the toy box and other naughty goodies in the Tunti Boutique also. I give the Tunti two thumbs up, this box is essential!

It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of the LELO brand. Lelo sex toys are luxurious, sexy, high quality, and versatile. I have nearly all of the Lelo toys from the the Femme and Homme collection, but now that Lelo has come out with some awesome *new* toys, I have more to collect! No complaints here. Introducing the LELO Mona. Mona is gorgeous, Mona is sexy, she’s a woman of the world. She’s a femme fatale of the sex toy box. Not to mention, Mona is the newest Lelo toy on the market. This toy is so pretty! Yes, that’s right folks, Mona is a looker. She’ll leave you breathless with her intoxicating looks, and she’ll steal your breathe again with her orgasmic skills. the body of the Mona, the look and design of the toy, is a lot different than the former Lelo toys. It has a more modern look, it looks like a true sex toy of the 21st century. The hand of the toy is made of quality hard white plastic, and the tip of the handle has a little input where you plug the charger into. Lelo may have made some changes with their new collection…but these toys are still rechargeable! Yay. There is also a little silicone plug that covers the charger input when not in use. This helps to make sure that no lubricant residue or water from cleaning the toy gets into the input. The buttons are also very different! The former Lelo toys had a sort of specific control button interface, this interface looks different and updated. Do I like it better than the older interface? I’m not sure yet. Instead of the buttons being in one interface, they are not each their own individual button. Which I think that’s cool, it means that the buttons are definitely not seamless, which means cleaning the toy can be difficult. You definitely do not want to get water into or around the buttons, that was one of my only concerns with Lelo sex toys of the past, and I was kind of hoping that the newer toys would have some sort of seamless interface. The buttons are still easy to push and navigate though. The shaft of the toy is contoured nicely. Mona is a curvy gal for sure, and the shaft of the body starts out straight then becomes wider in girth as the head of the toy curves upward into a pinpointed tip. This toy is made for delicious G-spot stimulation, so the shape of the body makes it so ideal for use. Mona is a mid-size vibe, but she also offers six different types of vibration. You can click through the vibration patterns by using the control buttons. You can also operate the intensity of the vibration by playing with the buttons also.

Mona seems to have about the same vibration strength at it’s highest speed as the previous Lelo toys have. The vibrations are nice and resonate deeply, however the vibrations are not super intense. if you’re familiar with Lelo toys, you’ll know that the deep resonating waves of vibration are highly erotic and that the while the vibration intensity could always be a little stronger, they are far from weak. While this vibrator is perfect for G-spot and vaginal stimulation, this toy is also great for clitoral stim. Since the head of the toy has a pinpointed tip, you can use the tip of the toy to tease against your clit. I had a very nice intense orgasm from using the Mona this way! She was such a good sport, doing a fabulous job of massaging my G-spot and tickling my clit. Lelo’s previous G-spot model, Gigi, is similar to Mona in some ways, since they’re both G-spot vibes, but they’re more different than anything! Gigi’s head is flat, so the flat end rests against your clit or your G-spot, while Mona has more girth than Gigi and the head of Mona is not flat. I think Mona’s pinpointed end actually makes for more precise stimulation! Also, the tip is offers that direct stimulation to the clit, which Gigi’s head doesn’t quite offer. Mona is just as quiet as the other Lelo toys, but I found that when browsing through Mona’s modes, the way the toy vibrated, the sound of the vibrations sounded almost musical, which made me laugh I recorded the vibration modes into an mp3 file so you can here. Click here to listen to the Mona at work!

Mona is made of body safe material and is completely phthalate free. So you can feel safe putting Lelo toys into your body. Since Mona’s insert-able shaft is made of silicone, Mona is made to be used with water-based lubricant only. On a full charge, Mona provides up to 4 hours of use. Also, like other Lelo toys, Mona can be locked, by holding the -/+ buttons. That way you don’t have to worry about the vibrator going off in your purse or overnight bag. Mona comes in two very pretty colors, Purple or Red. I have the Mona in Red and she is gorgeous! Since it’s around Christmas time, she looks very festive in my toy box. The color of red is bright and is more of a pink-red rather than a blue based red. When not in use, Mona likes to nestle in her satin pouch, that is included with your Mona. Keep her safe! Keep in mind that Lelo also offers a 1 year warranty on their toys, so they’ve got your back if Mona has a mishap (in case she’s ever a clumsy little minx!). I love that this vibrator is named Mona, because that’s exactly what I did within a few moments of using this toy. It made me moan-a lot! I loved flicking the tip of the toy against my clit and circling my clit with it, the vibrations made it feel so delicious. It was also easy to use my finger to switch through the modes as Moan made her rounds over my naughty bits. When I inserted Mona inside of me, it was love at first thrust. This toy feels awesome! I had such a fun time thrusting the tip of Mona’s shaft against my G-spot, it had me panting and sweaty in no time. The orgasm that Mona created was by far one of the best orgasms I’ve had in days. This toy is awesome! Lelo, you’re a genius…thank you so much for allowing me to meet Mona. I adore her. A huge thanks to Pleasure Galaxie for sending me this sweet little toy for my review!

Like what you see? You can head on over to PleasureGalaxie.com and pick up your own Mona for $130! You can save $15 off of your order by using the discount code “LETTER15” at checkout!

I absolutely love luxury lingerie. Some of my favorite lingerie brands come from the UK, so when Catherine from Kiss Me Deadly contacted me, I told her how big of a fan I am of Kiss me Deadly’s lingerie! I own intimates from KMD and it’s among some of my favorite lingerie pieces. Their pieces are sexy, high quality, and very unique. Each piece is delicately detailed with silk or lace or sheer luscious material that hugs your curves and accentuates your assets. Kiss Me Deadly’s newest collection was released just in time for the holidays and it has an arabian nights theme and inspiration that went into each exquisite piece. I simply love the Jezebel collection pictured to the left. The longline panties are gorgeous and the made of stretch satin. It’s so pretty! You can pair them with pasties, like shown on the model, or with a bra to match whatever sort of sexy mood that you’re in. This piece makes me want to wear cymbals on my fingers and dance around being a belly dance. I love the gorgeous material contrast, and the fact that this piece is waist reducing, to work as a girdle or corset. Each style in the new collection is sexy and unique, so that you can wear the pieces for your own enjoyment, or share the joy with a lover. The photos of KMD lingerie are beautiful, but if you can believe it, the pieces are even *more* beautiful in person! Kiss Me Deadly isn’t a brand that you’ll find all over the US, so if you live in the states like I do, you can find the Kiss Me Deadly intimates at a variety of online retailers and stockists. I refuse to wear cheap lingerie, so high quality is very important to me. So Kiss Me Deadly is a brand that I can feel confident and sexy about covering my naughty bits with Kiss me Deadly’s pieces.

The Alouette in Peach is stunning! It has a beautiful waist cincher with detachable straps that can be used with your favorite stockings. The panties are sheer and offer a cute bow. I love the color of this piece! It’s vintage but also very modern and unique. You won’t find pieces like this in your local lingerie shop, these items are truly an original creation from Kiss Me Deadly Lingerie. Each piece from the current collection of KMD designs is based on the Arabian Nights tales. I love how each collection has a different inspiration behind it. You can see the entire list of various collections that Kiss Me Deadly has available here. I love checking out the collections from past years, and I adore many items in the permanent collections such as the Delacroix cami and sleep set. They also carry stockings to go along with a lot of the lingerie pieces. The stockings are made of 100% nylon and have a very retro-modern style and appeal about them. They’re definitely hot! One of the pieces that I already own in my personal lingerie collection at home is the Diamond Van Doren. I love it! The bra is gorgeous and made of a sheer material with a diamond pattern that feels wonderful on my skin, and it offers underwire cups to offer support. The panties are very cute and made of sheer material also, they fit very nicely and feel fantastic. The garter belt is so sexy, it comes with removal straps so you can attach them to stockings to wear it without. They’re lingerie is really versatile, so I always look forward to seeing what goodies their newest collections will bring!

The L’Amour collection is probably my favorite piece! L’amour means love, and this is definitely a design that you fall head over heels in love with. It’s sexy and made of beautiful material. The corset is vintage inspired and made of soft velvet trim and includes lace overlays. The corset is waist reducing and also gorgeous, it hugs each and every womanly curve on your body and it comes in a pretty classic black color. This piece is truly sexy! I love the cups on the corset, the design is gorgeous and will look sexy and alluring on all cup sizes. The delicate straps on the shoulder give this piece a vintage couture look, and you can also use the garters to attach a pair of high high stockings to complete the look. If you’re interested in checking out the new collection and the previous collections, check out KissMeDeadly.co.uk. If you’re interested in buying Kiss Me Deadly lingerie, check out their stockists page to see where you can order their pieces on the internet! Femme fatales and glamorous women alike with drool over these pieces, the designs and styles are exceptional and the quality of the material is breathtaking. If you’ve never splurged on a sexy lingerie set from the UK, now is the time ladies. The arabian inspired collections that just came out are all calling my name, and pieces from past collections seem to be slowly finding their way into my closet But you know what they say? Awh shucks, they don’t say it, but I do…A girl can never have too much lingerie…

This has to be one of the most interesting shaped toys I have seen in awhile. Introducing the Ki-Wi. The Ki-Wi is a luxury silicone vibrator that has a very interesting design. Shaped similar to a teardrop, this vibrator is made of a high quality white plastic at the base of the toy, and the actual part of the toy that stimulates is made of soft pliable silicone. The toy is so cute! It’s discreet, it’s not something someone would find on your bedroom dresser and say “OMG that’s a vibrator!” – If anything it looks like some other sort of technology gadget. The base of the toy twists open to allow you to insert two AAA batteries. The base twists back on to lock the battery compartment closed. The control buttons of this toy are very easy to use, Simply turn the toy on by pressing the button and check out the vibration functions. The intensity of vibration is very pleasant, and I like that the vibrations are pinpointed for precise clitoral stimulation. Flick, play, or rest the tip of the toy against your clit and let the vibrations tease you. The soft tip feels nice against the clit, and since the vibrations are in the tip of the toy, it doesn’t vibrate your hand so intensely like some toys do. I used this toy with a water-based lubricant and it was wonderful. I would highly suggest using your favorite water based lube. Cleaning this toy is pretty easy also, I used a anti-bacterial toy tissue which cleansed quickly and was very convenient. Another good thing about this toy, is that it doesn’t have a noisy high frequency buzz, so it’s not something you have to worry about the neighbors hearing

One of my favorite features of this toy is the fact that it lights up! Yes, it really does! The tip of the toy, the soft silicone nub that is used to stimulate your clit lights up. No more fumbling around in the dark with your toy, now you can find your pleasure zone and make sure you’re getting pinpointed stimulation. Using this toy in the light means you don’t need to make the toy glow, but if you’re in a darkened room, this makes a fantastic little erotica flashlight for your naughty bits I really do adore the Ki-Wi vibrator, it’s cute, it’s practical, and it works! Not to mention, the fact that it lights up really is an awesome idea to me. The toy is small and fits in the palm of your hand, which really is a selling point for me. If you’d like to check out the Ki-Wi you can get your hands on it for $71.98 at LoveHoney! They even have a few wonderful product videos showcasing just how cool the Ki-Wi is, don’t worry, all videos are SFW.  LoveHoney is a wonderful adult toy shop straight out of the UK, but they ship to the USA also! They offer fast shipping that is also discreet. Whether you’re in the UK or in the USA, check out LoveHoney.co.uk to see what types of wonderful goodies that they offer.

A lot of people have asked me what kind of sex toys males can enjoy. I like to suggest Fleshlights to newbies, because they’re quality, effective, and they’re the #1 best selling male masturbator on the market. I’ve showcased classic Fleshlights in the past, but when I got the chance to review one of the Fleshlight Girls masturbators, I jumped on the chance. The Fleshlight Girls collection are specially made Fleshlight sleeves, that are molded from and inspired by adult film stars. I got the pleasure of receiving the Tera Patrick Fleshlight. The outer sleeve of the Fleshlight is nice, high quality body safe material, like other Fleshlights. The opening is molded to look just like adult film star tera Patrick’s pussy! How hot is that? This would be ideal for any Tera Patrick fan, or any male who enjoys realistic looking masturbators. The inner texture of the sleeve this the Cyclone, which is has a very stimulating tunnel. Like other Fleshlights, this sleeve can be cleaned simply using removing the sleeve from the container and washing it with soap and water and allowing to air dry. It also can be used with all types of lubricants. The canal of the toy offers an interesting detail, that I felt as I inserted my finger into the toy. I tested it out by inserting a realistic dildo into the Fleshlight. I pumped the dild in and out, and I could tell that this would feel great on an actual penis! So I knew I needed to get a male opinion, just who could I ask? I called up one of my male friends and said “How would you like to fuck Tera Patrick?”. Needless to say, he was more than up for the challenge.

My male friend had used a Fleshlight before, so he was familiar with how to use and care for it. Upon receipt for the toy, I received text messages from him with teasing hints such as “Wow” and “Awesome!”. Once I talked to my friend again and he gave me his feedback on the masturbator, I am happy to let you all know that he loved it! He said that he really liked the fact that the sleeve looked like Tera’s pussy. he even mentioned that he watched one of her adult films while he “tested” the toy out. He said that it made for a very realistic experience. He also mentioned that he really enjoyed the inner texture of the sleeve, the Tera Patrick Fleshlight Lotus has a very unique design, that makes penetrating the sleeve very stimulating. I asked him if he liked this sleeve better than the original Fleshlight, and she said “Definitely…well, I like it just the same!” So there you have it guys If you’d be interested in getting your hands on your own Tera Patrick Fleshlight Girl you can find it for $79.99 at PinkCherry.com! If you’re in Canada, be sure to check out PinkCherry.ca to make your order. Pink Cherry sex toys offers low prices and super fast shipping!

I love showcasing brands and shops in the United Kingdom. Even though this blog is based in the USA, I do have a lot of readers from overseas, not to mention that over the past few years I have become a big fan of a lot of sex toy brands and lingerie companies from the UK. I recently found this wonderful sexy shop called La Black Basque. They feature gorgeous lingerie, fetish wear by Patrice Cantanzaro, and sex toys from hot brands such as Je Joue and Lelo. Their prices are fantastic, and I had the pleasure of talking to Clare from LaBlackBasque.com, and she told me that the shop is planning some big changes for the new year! The company will be evolving and moving to Miami (Yay, a La Black Basque in the USA!) and Costa Rica. I can’t wait to see what else this great company has in store. I hope all of my UK readers check La Black Basque out, and I hope my American readers check them out also because it looks like La Black Basque will be in our neck of the woods soon!
