I have been reviewing adult goodies for a little over 3 years, so when I get the chance to review something that is a little bit different I get really excited. I also get excited when I get to review an item that has had my interests for quite some time.  Most recently I got the opportunity to write a review of the Iride in exchange for an honest review thanks to Eden Fantasys. I have a soft spot for eden fantasys, as they actually provided me with the first review I ever did, and they are always really patient with my slow self!

The iride caught my eye several years ago because like I mentioned it is unique, pink (of course right?) and it is by one of my favorite toy companies Doc Johnson.

My first impression? It is huge. I mean I know that it would be big because of course you have to be able to sit on it, but…I didn’t quite grasp the hugeness until I saw it in person. Let me tell you I don’t do well with measurements and math lol.

One thing that I really liked about the idea of the iride is because it can be used when you do not have a guy around, but it would be different than a traditional vibrator. Does that make since everyone? I hope so!

So the iride is made out of plastic/tpr so it is pretty body safe, and smooth. It has some neat features like being multispeed and even handsfree with a built in control pad. Also something neat is though this thing is huge it only uses 4 AA batteries.

So what was my opinion of the Iride? I hate to admit it but I was pretty disappointed! Why? Well…first of all it wasn’t easy to get onto! I tried it on the bed, in the floor on a chair and on the couch. At first I thought it was because I have a smashed up ankle, but that really wasn’t it.

The most disappointing thing was it was HARD plastic with NO give. It actually was painful for me to use L I think the speeds and vibrations and everything were o.k.. but the actual part that went inside made me seriously want to cry. Maybe I’m just not very tough down there ? The more I tried to use it the better things got, but it still wasn’t exactly right. I think that it does have potential.

I would say if you are looking for a unique item for your toy collection that is a bit HUGE and all that good stuff this would be a good item to pick up. I also think that it gets better and easier to use with time, but it really did hurt me when I started out and it kind of scared me!

I have considered a few options… Selling it was actually at the top of my list but not sure of logistics and such..I also need a for certain place to keep MY adult reviews both from the past and upcoming as well. I really frown upon puttin them back on my personal site, but I guess it could be a possible option. However, if someone is interested feel free to shoot me an email..

Of course the BEST scenerio would be if I could find someone to help me post reviews. However after having no less than 3 people say they would help, I am kind of like not even interested in trying that route anymore. This site was opened as a joint site and that person didn’t even help me for even hardly a month at the most!

I am thinking about wipiing the slate clean, as in taking down anything that isn’t mine and just letting this be a place for my adult reviews and whatever else adult wise I feel like putting here. I could leave the things that aren’t mine but i’m not sure at this point.

If anyone has any ideas let me know. If I didn’t have a personal site and this didn’t feel like work I probably wouldn’t feel this way. However this site is almost 2 1/2 years old and I have put a lot into it.

if you have thoughts opinions and ideas please leave them!

I had jury duty which threw me off for 2 full days last week (really crazy stuff I almost got picked and it would have been a 2+ week trial) Then I have had several reviews and such going on on my personal site as well as trying to keep up in the house and everything!

So…just so you know your stuff will eventually show up here I promise. There are 2 reviews upcoming here as well. I already have one item the Iride and the Iginio will be here sometime as well.

Take care

reach out on twitter @xxpollypocket/ @gritsreviews if you want to say hi or need me for any reason!

thanks

California Exotics recently sent me the Power Swirl to review from their Jumpin’ Gyrator line and while I wasn’t expecting much from this toy I was actually pleasantly surprised. When it first arrived it was packaged in the standard Cal Exotics packaging, a cheap plastic box that gives you a clear view of the product. I don’t love this packaging as it always seems to be either cracked and/or open when it arrives, no matter how well it has been shipped, because there are no tape seals over the top. While I know that the top has just popped open in shipment, I would be much happier if it was sealed when it arrived, possibly in a box that could be used for storage as well.

I have always lusted after Fun Factory vibes, particularly their G4 line, but I kept putting off purchasing one of them, letting other beautiful toys distract me; that is, until I saw the Stronic Enis. When I started seeing the videos and promotions for the Stronic I knew I had to have it. Unlike many women, I prefer internal stimulation and thrusting to external stimulation. I’ve been intrigued by fucking machines but being a poor college kid I haven’t had the funds or access to try one, so when I first saw the Stronic Enis it seemed like a dream come true, it was a compact fucking machine that fit easily in my nightstand and that, although pricey, I could afford.

Here at Kinky Testers, we have always been big fans of ÜberKinky, their store is full of unique sex and bondage toys that you just don’t find elsewhere. Our last order from them included this rather serious looking cock ring and butt plug. Posted in their usual nondescript blue poly bags, inside our toys in simple and understated poly bags. This is the ÜberKinky way, quite far removed from more mainstream sex toy brands that seemingly put as much (or more) effort into packaging and presentation as the product itself. But never judge a book by it’s cover, for here we have one of the best cock rings we ever come across.

The first thing that struck me about this cock ring and anal ball, is the sheer weight of it. Made from solid body safe stainless steel, it tips the scales at a mighty 425g.

Sliquid Sea Lubricant is a water-based lubricant that contains several ingredients meant to provide benefits in addition to the typical perks of lube. We’ll discuss those ingredients in a bit. First let’s talk a look at water-based lubes in general.

Water-based lubricants have several advantages over other types of lubricants. You can use a water-based lube with all sex toys, including silicone, which is a blessing to someone like me who has a large collection of silicone toys. It does not usually stain clothes and sheets and can be cleaned off the body easily with water. On the down side, it is not a good choice to use in water and can dry out more quickly than other options.

A few weeks back on twitter, I had a company start following me on the Grits-Reviews account: Igino. Since I didn’t recognize the name, I decided to check their website out!

They are currently getting ready to release their toy, The Igino one. As far as looks, and putting it with something that everyone would be more familiar with, it looks like an Iphone!  Also? It’s pink and white Oh,and it’s a clit toy.. I was intrigued, so I contacted the company about perhaps getting one to review when they are available, and they said yes! I was beyond excited!

I also offered to help spotlight the item here on grits-reviews to help them get the word out about the product! Not only is it cute, it has some interesting things that I haven’t saw anywhere else in a toy (which, really I have saw so many toys, it says a lot !)

VibraMoove: which is supposed to simulate the way your fingers move, when you use that method to please yourself. I really thought that was interesting, because I remember back before toys..well I used my fingers! Of course it was tiring at times so..this would def. be less work on yourself!

SkinTouch Head: it’s supposed to feel like skin, so i’m pretty interested in this as well! sounds interesting!

Hygienic Cover: keeps it from attracting dirt and the like when it’s out in the open and such!

The Igino One is using the platform Indiegogo to raise money to make this toy a reality as well! Check out their Indiegogo page here

I look forward to bringing you a full review on this  unique cutie in the near future!

this is a spotlight on an item that I will be receiving in the future. I do not have this item yet, and I haven’t been paid to write this post.
