Review Idol - Round 1. Rocks Off Bullet

Get your Rocks Off! The original Rocks Off 80mm bullet is a must have for every toy box. Like the name suggests it is only 80 mm long but don't be put off by its small size after all the best things come in small packages! Shaped just like a bullet, it really suits its name! This is my favourite bullet and I have a few of these, so versatile and for the size, it really is a powerful little bullet. At a RRP of around £10 you really can't go wrong which is why I have more than one.

The RO-80mm bullet comes in what I describe as a little see through test tube with a lid, it fits perfectly and is ideal for storage when you aren't using it. The bullet comes with a 'N' sized battery which really does last for ages! Just unscrew and remove the little cardboard disc and screw back on. To turn on the bullet all you have to do is push the button on the bottom and press it again to turn it off.

The RO-80mm bullet is such a versatile little toy. I have found so many uses and it never gets boring finding new ones! Its sleek design means you can use the tip against your clitoris or lay it length ways for a different sensation. It can be used on male or female nipples. It is a great toy to use with some orgasm balm. Or the female can use it against her cheek while giving her partner oral sex or rest it under his balls for a different sensation. A guy can also use it on his partner during oral. During PIV sex it is a great little toy as it doesn't get in the way, only enhances things! It is also a great little toy to use when masturbating. The possibilities are endless! It is a great couples or singles toy.

The power you get with this little beauty for the size and the size of the battery really is quite something. I highly recommend that if you don't have one of these to buy at least one and find out for yourself. If you are very sensitive then you may want to tie a ribbon around it to 'cushion' it lightly, also satin ribbons are a win for sensation play! It isn't a Wand and will never have the power of a Wand but this little beauty kicks ass! Noise wise the bullet buzzes! It isn't so loud that it puts you off but it isn't silent either, some music or the TV on as background noise should drown it out.

It is super easy to clean as it is waterproof. A few squirts of some sex toy cleaner or some soap and hot water then dry it off. Easy to store in your bedside or knicker drawer, toy box, handbag, or one in each! How I rate the RO-80mm bullet. Ease of use 5/5 Design 5/5 Quietness 2.5/5 Strength of vibrations 4/5 Over all 4/5 I would like to thank Voluptasse for sending me the RO-80mm to review.

Review Idol Round One - The Judges Verdict...

Review Idol Round One - The Judges Response

The Cara Sutra

 

 

 

Well, here we go with my responses to the very lucky finalists in the Voluptasse Review Idol competition. These entrants are battling it out for a permanent reviewer spot on behalf of Voluptasse.co.uk.

The finalists are Mistress Velvet, Toy Addict and XtraCurricular. In order to give a clear and easily understood opinion on each review, I will take them in turn, conveying my thoughts and opinions, as a professional sex toy reviewer of many years.

Mistress Velvet - Spencer & Fleetwood Chocolate Body Paint

There is no doubt that Mistress Velvet has provided a visually alluring sex toy review, with many beautiful pictures both of the product in use and her exquisite lingerie.

The copy in the review, on the other hand, unfortunately felt a little rushed. The punctuation and grammar could be improved.

On a personal level, although this was a shining recommendation for the product, I have actually tried Spencer and Fleetwood Chocolate Body Paint and it didn't taste nice at all. I'm aware we all have different tastes but the chocolate was grainy, low quality and not something I'd choose to eat a lot of. Therefore I did find it hard to believe that this entrant found the product as amazing as was made out in the review.

Toy Addict - Lip Vibe

In her review of the Lip Vibe, Toy Addict adopted a neutral, professional reviewer tone which gives the reader the chance to receive only the facts without any unnecessary fluff.

The images in the review are of the product and informative. You can view the product both in the packet and from many angles, which is what readers look for.

The review is well detailed, with a handy summary of the pros and cons at the end. After reading this review you know exactly what to expect when you buy this product.

XtraCurricular - Rabbit Loop Cock Ring

Having visited XtraCurricular.co.uk, I have to say I am very impressed by both the navigation and design of this sex toy review website. The graphic design background of the founder is clearly evident, with well placed and designed banners with clear direction and no fuss.

This design trend continues in the Review Idol entry from XtraCurricular, with a beautiful banner at the top and clear photographs.

The copy is not quite at the same level as the images, with a few unfortunate grammar errors and typos which make the review seem rushed. The material type wasn't specified either, which many readers will need to know.

I do like the two for one feel of the XtraCurricular review, with feedback from both him and her. There are useful tips given at the end and a link back to the product too.

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

In summary, the three reviews are all beautiful and well presented. When it comes down to details, I prefer Toy Addict's review over the other two, due to the amount of information about the product you can glean, which is what a product review is for, when you think about it.

The neutral tone, the professional standard of copy and photography and the clear layout makes this the winner in my mind.

That's my opinion - but what about you? Comment 'like' underneath the review of your choice to cast your vote!

REVIEW IDOL ROUND 1; Chocolate Body Paint

I am Mistress_Velvet and I am going to review for you the most delicious body paint ever. I was absolutely delighted to be chosen to review for Voluptasse.

When I was sent a tube of Spencer and Fleetwood’s Chocolate Body Paint from Voluptasse to review for the REVIEW IDOL COMPETITION my first thoughts were ‘oh god this is going to taste horrible’ but I could not have been more wrong. Made in Belgium I must say that it is most certainly 150g of divine gooey chocolate body paint indeed.

Packed in a slim line tube with a flip cap it is perfect for handling and squeezing, I found you needed either a good grip or two hands to squeeze it though because it was not for coming out of the tube in a hurry.

The chocolate paint was easy to spread and smear across the skin and a whole lot of fun to do. Non sticky or greasy and smells as divine as it tastes, dissolves quickly on a warm tongue and very easy to clean off the skin (and bed sheets)

Coming complete with a brush, which was of a high quality, no bristles were shed when in use, it was easy to use, allowing you to be more creative with your body art and cleaned really well.

The taste is amazing and to be honest I would not think twice about squirting it on my dessert, or being his dessert!

I highly recommend you give this a whirl, it is a whole lot of fun, messy granted but fun and you could use it for so many different aspects of your foreplay sessions… or to enhance his dessert.  Priced at £6.99 it will not break the bank for you to try something different and have a little fun.

150g of pure chocolate decadence in my opinion and worth every penny. I would rate this product as a MUST BUY and recommend it to all of you. 

The ingredients are all listed clearly on the packaging and the allergy information is also clearly stated. I am featured in my photographs and my beautiful underwear is available from Pretty Kinky Things.

Review Idol Round 1: Lip Vibe

The Lip Vibe is a discreet clitoral vibrator disguised as a lipstick. It's for external use only, meaning it should not be inserted, but can still be used to stimulate your clitoris, nipples or other sensitive areas on your body. 

It comes packaged in a plastic box that features a very retro, artistic image of a woman applying lipstick. The box measures just over 4.5 inches tall, 2.5 inches wide and has a depth of 1 inch. 

The box contains the vibrator, two N size batteries and two instruction streets. One of these sheets contains generic information about using vibrators and seems a bit pointless to me, whereas the other is specific to the Lip Vibe and has pictures demonstrating how to open the battery compartment and insert the battery. 

The vibrator measures about 3 inches long and has a circumference of 2.75 inches. Its body is made from hard plastic in a dark rose shade of pink. The plastic is translucent, so on close inspection you may be able to see parts of the internal mechanism of the vibrator. It has a sparkly pink rounded tip which twists out just like a real lipstick, extending to half an inch. Although the toy is mostly made from plastic, the tip is made from silicone so must only be used with water-based lubricant. 

The tip is very firm but as it glides across your skin the silicone replicates the feeling of a creamy lipstick, without leaving any messy lipstick marks behind. It's a very pleasant sensation, and you can use it with or without the vibrations to mix things up a little. When rubbing it against your clitoris it feels like someone is gently stroking it with their finger. 

This vibrator runs on one N battery, which comes supplied along with a spare for your convenience. The base of the Lip Vibe pulls off to reveal the battery compartment. The battery compartment cap is very small and fiddly so the instructions suggest using a coin to twist it open. 

The bottom half of the Lip Vibe twists to raise the silicone tip up and down. There's nothing to keep the base locked into place, so when I'm trying to pull the lid off to use this toy I often find myself accidentally opening the bottom half instead, which can be somewhat frustrating.

When the tip is fully extended the single speed vibrations will turn on. The vibrations travel throughout the whole toy, but seem to be mostly targeted in the tip, which is better for pinpoint precision. It's not a quiet toy but the noise is easily muffled under the bed covers and they shouldn't be heard through a closed door. When you are finished playing with the Lip Vibe, simply twist the base to retract the tip and stop the vibrations. 

This sex toy isn't waterproof so don't attempt to use it in bath as this will damage the vibrator. This also means you have to take extra care when cleaning it. Don't submerge it in water, use a damp cloth or an antibacterial toy cleansing wipe instead. Lubricant tends to get trapped between the silicone tip and the inner side of the lipstick chamber, which can be a tricky area to get into to clean properly. 

Its small size and plastic cap make this vibrator the perfect travel companion. You don't need to worry about finding a storage bag for this because the lid acts as its own built-in storage case, which protects the toy and keeps it clean in your suitcase. 

The Lip Vibe really is very discreet. If I was to drop my bag and have this roll out onto the floor I wouldn't be too flustered about people seeing it. When you place it next to real lipstick it's a bit more obvious that it's not genuine but I doubt most people would pay any mind to it.

I'm quite impressed as far as the design of the Lip Vibe is concerned, but the vibrations are too weak for me and the toy is quite poorly made. Even so, it's cute, novel and non-threatening so would make a fun little gift, especially to a beginner or as part of a hen party goodie bag. 

Pros:

Inconspicuous design.

Travel friendly.

Firm yet soft on the skin.

Cons:

Not waterproof. 

Awkward battery compartment.

Loose base. 

Bottom Line:

A brilliant concept but rather fiddly and not enough power.

Review Idol, Round 1 : Rabbit Loop Cock Ring

Firstly hi readers! Mr. A and Miss K here, reviewers from XtraCurricular.co.uk; we'd like to thank the guys at Voluptasse for giving us the opportunity to take part in Review Idol! So let's get down to business with round ones review. If you like what we've written and found it useful please make sure you comment with "like" at the bottom of this post.

 

The Basics

The Rabbit Loop Cock Ring is a vibrating cock ring created by NMC. This toy is made from phthalate free, none toxic material. This rabbit shaped cock ring has been specifically designed to provide both pleasure for him and her. The rabbit not only makes the cock ring look more female friendly, the ears also offer clitoral stimulation during intercourse.

The material this toy is made of is quite solid and the ring is thick which is perfect for making his penis harder and intercourse last longer, while still being very stretchy, allowing comfort and fit for most sizes. The ring also includes bumps and ridges around the inner ring of the toy adding to the pleasure he'll receive as it strokes up and down his shaft during intercourse.

The bullet included with the cock ring takes 2 x LR41 batteries, which you get 4 of with this toy. The vibrations of the bullet are quite powerful and pass all the way around the ring and up to the rabbit's ears. Unlike other cock rings we've tested this bullet isn't turned on using a button. To turn this toy on you slide the band in the centre of the bullet to the left, to turn it off you slide it right.

What he says

I was excited to open our first review idol item from Voluptasse as I had no idea what it was going to be. From the packaging design and look of the toy I could tell it was an affordable sex toy. We've used and reviewed a few cock rings over time and have been quite disappointed by many of them. Looking at this one though I could spot a few nice features that I've not seen on more expensive cock rings.

One of the features I loved about the Rabbit Loop Cock Ring is the vibrating bullet, it's not the most powerful of bullets, but it's powerful enough to send vibrations up the full length of the penis. One of the things I've found awkward about some cock rings is the on and off button, which is usually a small fiddly button on the side. I find these are far too sensitive and also prone to break. On the Rabbit Loop, the on and off button is a wide ring in the centre of the bullet that you slide to the left to turn on, and slide to the right to turn off. It's a simple touch but really works, it means once it's on there's no chance it'll accidentally turn off. Once on the bullet easily fits into the small band in between the rabbit's head and the cock ring. We turned the bullet on and attached it to the cock ring before putting it onto my penis.

The ring itself is very sturdy yet flexible, as the image shows above you can stretch it quite far meaning it should fit most penis sizes. Using a bit of lube around the inside of the cock ring and the penis made it very easy to put on (you need to make sure your penis is erect to put this one on). Once on, the ring feels quite tight but not in an uncomfortable way, it desensitised my penis slightly during sex but this helped increase the duration of our session (no complaints from either of us on that one). The inside of the ring isn't smooth but bumpy which added slightly to the overall experience at the beginning and while putting it on, but not really something that stimulates your penis during sex as it stays where you put it. 

As I mention above during sex the cock ring helped desensitise my penis but not in an unpleasant way, it was still enjoyable. The cock ring also made my penis harder as it's keeping the blood flowing in making all the veins bulge out and overall look of the penis harder and slightly bigger. The vibrations are a nice extra and add additional pleasure during intercourse. For me the vibrations were enough for extra stimulation, but I don't think it was enough for Miss K (as I'm sure you'll hear from her below).

To clean the toy it couldn't be simpler, remove the vibrating bullet and wash the cock ring using warm soapy water or if you have any sex toy cleaner. We don't think the bullet is waterproof so if you need to clean it we recommend non-fragranced anti bacterial wipes.

For a basic vibrating cock ring that's under £10 I'm really impressed. I enjoyed the overall experience and think it's a good toy for those who have tried a standard cock ring and are interested in experimenting with a vibrating one.     

What she says

When receiving this toy, I first thought it looked like a simple cock ring style toy, with rabbit ears for clitoral stimulation and a bullet vibrator. I like the light-blue design, with the graphics on the card also being blue, and advertising the point of the toy. The material feels really durable and elastic, particularly the ring, which is great for easy application of a toy like this. The rabbit ears are delicate and really carry the vibrations up to the tip of the ears, great for clitoral stimulation. On a closer look, there's a little smiling rabbit face on the toy, which I found to be a bit weird, but a bit quirky and funny too. The vibrations from the bullet feel very strong and travel throughout the toy, meaning great stimulation for both partners.

When checking out the instructions of this toy to see if there were any good tips for usage, I found them to actually be really unhelpful! The instructions were generic for the NMC toys and even though it gives battery insertion and instruction for use, neither made sense for this toy! Luckily we're familiar with cock rings and used this toy without any issues.

From my satisfaction point of view, however, I found the vibrations to be a lot less intense to those I'm used to, maybe I've been spoiled in the past with more intense vibrating bullets! It really seemed to help satisfy Mr. A as he looked as though he enjoyed the vibrations and it did help prolong his performance due to the tightness of the ring. When first using this toy I confess I did get a little bored in warming myself up and had to use another toy to do this. During intercourse I found the friction of the toy to be more satisfying than the vibrations. The rabbit ears didn't really provide enough stimulation on the clitoris for me to find enjoyable.

I don't give up on this toy, however, as I think with a more sensitive and gentle approach could be taken to get the most from this toy. It gives a great tickle sensation and would be great for positions where there is a little bit more space between you and your partner.    

Tips

• Make sure you use lubrication on the inside of the cock ring so it slides on over your penis easier.

• Before you use this toy with your partner we recommend you test the size by putting the ring on before hand to ensure it's not too tight. This will also mean it's not going to distract you during the act if it's a new experience for you and your partner.

• As a cock ring is designed to prevent blood flow from leaving the penis make sure you're not wearing the cock ring for too long. 30 mins usage at a time is recommended.

• Guys if you're feeling particularly selfish try wearing the ring so the rabbit is facing down towards you so the rabbit ears tickle around your testicle area.

• Girls as this bullet is removable you can always use the bullet as a clitoral stimulator on it's own. The little bumps on the end of the bullet will also add to your personal pleasure.

    
 

Where to buy

The Rabbit Loop Cock Ring is a bargain at £7.95 and is available at Voluptasse. While you're there, don't forget to pick up some water-based lube to help you put the toy on. We highly recommend Give Lube Aqua Gel which can also be found at Voluptasse.  

Rating

Over all this toy is a bargain at £7.95 and we recommend it for anyone whose wanting an upgrade from a none vibrating cock ring, or in fact any one new to cock rings. Just be sure to practice putting it on before hand so you know how it feels and what to expect. 

As we both had different views on this we've decided to give it a what "he says" and "what she says" rating. 

Mr. A gives this toy 7/10 
Miss K gives this toy 4/10
