Doxy by Shevibe


Name
: Doxy

Price: $189.99

Material: aluminum/titanium metals and silicone

Power Source: Corded Plug-in (NOT RECHARGEABLE)

Basic Description: This wand is medium sized. It has 8 speed settings. It is made from metal with a silicone head and neck.

Pros: It is a powerful wand! The buttons are really big and easy to press, with simple settings.

Cons: The cord! Cords for people with disabilities are not fun. They get tangled in limbs and restrict our movement. also, you have to be near a wall outlet and hope it doesn't get unplug if you can't reach it. also, the metal handle has creases that could easily pinch skin.

Accessibility Features: The only accessibility feature I can think of is how big the buttons are and how easy they are to press.

Ponderings: This wand is not very accessible overall. It poses more annoyances than its worth.

Eve's Slim Butterfly G by Adam & Eve



Name: Eve's Slim Butterfly G

Price: $40.54

Material: Silicone

Power Source: USB recharable

Basic Description: This G-Spot vibrator is slim and sleek. it also has a cute little butterfly that stimulates your clit and it has 80+ vibration and pattern combinations! It also is waterproof and fully submersible.

Pros: The slim design makes it easy to insert or wedge where you want it. The shaft is very flexible so it can mold to your body. Also, the butterfly vibrates separately from the shaft, so if you just want one or the other, or both to vibrate you can change it in the settings.

Cons: The handle is a bit small so you don't have a lot of grabbing room. Because there are so many combinations of patterns and vibrations, it may be difficult to remember how to get to the ones that you like.

Accessibility Features: I really like how versatile this G-Spot vibrator is! Flexibility is the main access feature. 

Ponderings: If you want a G-Spot vibrator that also stimulates your clitoris, and is flexible and lightweight, this is a good option for you!

The Intimate Curves Rechargeable Wand by Adam & Eve



Name: 
The Intimate Curves Rechargeable Wand

Price: $69.95

Material: Silicone

Power Source: USB recharable

Basic Description:
This is a medium sized wand! It has 10 intense vibration speeds and patterns. the head is flexible and the wand itself is waterproof.

Pros:
It is fairly lightweight so you can get a good hold of it without your hands getting as tired. it also has a longer handle than the Wonder Wand. Because the head is flexible it can be more easily put in the right place as opposed to the rigid head of the Magic Wand. The handle is fairly thin which makes it easy to hold.

Cons: The buttons are a bit confusing, as you have to hold the power button down to turn it on, but then you still have to press the vibration button in order to get things started. The only way to know it is turned on is if the light is on, as opposed to most vibrators that vibrate as soon as you press the power button.

Accessibility Features: The handle and flexibility of this wand are the most accessible features. The handle is curved to give it a more natural feel when you grab it and it is not slippery.


Ponderings: If you want a medium sized wand with a good handle and is easy to hold, this wand is definitely for you!

Personal Water based Lubricant by Adam & Eve



Name: Adam & Eve Personal Water-based Lubricant

Price: $17.95

Material: Water based

Power Source: N/A

Basic Description: This is a clear water based lube. The bottle has a pump attached to dispense lube.

Pros: The pump is easy to press. I, with my limited hand coordination, could easily dispense lube. I could even get it on my hands which could then put it on a toy or body part. it is water based so if you have allergies this could be a really great lube for you.

Cons: it does leave your hands a little sticky, unlike Uberlube which leaves you feeling soft afterward.

Accessibility Features: The pump is the main accessibility feature. also, the bottle is plastic so you don't have to worry about breaking it as much.


Ponderings: This lube is very accessible and also cheap for how much you get in return.

The OH MY G! Massager By Adam & Eve



Name: The OH MY G! Massager

Price: $59.95

Material: Silicone

Power Source: USB recharable

Basic Description: This is a G-Spot Vibrator. It has nice ridges all along the shaft. which provides extra stimulation. it has 7 powerful vibration functions.

Pros: the base is the coolest feature! it is called an easy grip handle it is definitely that! also, it is a nice length and kind of curved so it can get in all the right places.

Cons: There is honestly not really anything I can complain about!

Accessibility Features: The length is good for both internal and external stimulation. you can get a good hold of the toy or you can wedge it where you like and again, i can not rave about the handle enough! it is really cool. Also, there is only one button which is easy to press and every click takes you through turning it on, the different settings, then off again.

Ponderings: this is an extremely accessible toy! I am quite impressed with the design.

The G-Gasm Curve by Adam & Eve



Name
: The G-Gasm Curve

Price: $39.95

Material:  Silicone

Power Source: USB recharable

Basic Description: This nice curved G-Spot vibrator that has 36 powerful vibration functions, and you can control the strength of each function with 5 intensity settings. It has grooves for extra stimulation and an ergonomic grip handle.

Pros: The handle is nice and long so it provides a good grip. The material is not slippery also. It is slim so you can wedge it in tight places. The buttons are easy to press and spaced out nicely so you will not press the wrong buttons most likely. Lastly, the price is very affordable for a rechargeable
G-spot vibrator!

Cons: The only con I can think of is because it is so slim, you might have to position it carefully, but really that should not be too big of an issue.

Accessibility Features: The entire toy is very accessible from the buttons to the shape of the toy and handle. It is a very lightweight toy as well.

Ponderings: This toy is awesome in terms of accessibility. This and the Screaming O G-Spot vibrator have been the most accessible toys I have reviewed thus far.

The Wild Ride by Adam & Eve



Name:
The Wild Ride with Power Boost

Price: $79.95

Material:   Silicone

Power Source: USB Recharable

Basic Description: This dildo has a suction cup on the base so you can stick it to any hard surface, like a wall, chair, or the shower! It also vibrates! It has several pattern and vibration settings as well as a "power boost" button which gives you 10 seconds of the maximum vibration when pressed.

Pros: The suction cup is really sturdy and even when it vibrates it still sticks to the surface.

Cons: when you want the "power booster" you have to keep pressing the button in order to get the maximum setting because it only gives it to you for 10 seconds and there is no other way to get the maximum setting.

Accessibility Features:
The suction cup is a really cool feature because it lets you stick it anywhere and lets you play in whatever position works best for you. Also, the fact it is a vibrator too helps lessen the work you have to do! The buttons are also small but easy to press.


Ponderings: If you want to stick a toy somewhere and play, this toy is a great option!

Wonder Wand by Lovers



Name:
Wonder Wand 

Price: $84.00

Material: Silicone

Power Source:
USB Rechargeable

Basic Description:  This little guy is a powerful wand! It has 5 different vibration functions and it is waterproof! meaning you can take in the bath or shower for some fun.

Pros: I really like how little it is! it makes gripping it much easier as opposed to the Magic Wand which is huge! this means you can not only easily hold on to it but it also makes it easier to wedge in places. 

Cons: If you need a longer handle this is not the wand for you. It is about 6 inches tall total. so there is not a lot of gripping room if you need that.

Accessibility Features: I really like how compact this toy is. Its size can make it easier to use on yourself or others.  The buttons are also easy to use and easy to get to. The head of the wand is very flexible making it easier to get where you need to go.

Ponderings: If you like wands but can not use a big traditional wand, this one is a great alternative!

The Ravishing Rabbit Thruster by Adam & Eve



Name: The Ravishing Rabbit Thruster

Price: $109.95

Material: Silicone

Power Source: USB rechargeable

Basic Description: This toy is a bit different. It is a thrusting toy which means the head of the vibrator goes up and down. It also has a little bunny with flickering ears to stimulate your clit.

Pros: It is a good length to get a grip on. There are only two buttons, one to turn the power on and one to scan through vibration and pattern settings, and the buttons are easy to press. the material is not slippery which means you'll have an easier time holding on it.

Cons: The head is quite big so if you want to use it internally (which is the intended use) keep that in mind. I am a fan of using G-Spot Vibrators for clitoral stimulation, but I am not sure how much fun a thrusting vibrator would be for me personally because I don't like G-spot stimulation.

Accessibility Features: The gripping area is great so you will get a good hold of your toy. The buttons are easy to access.

Ponderings: If you enjoy thrusters and are looking for an accessible one this is a great option!

Why I don't talk about my personal experience with these toys



As I have been delving more into reviewing toys, I have been reading other toy review blogs. This has been super helpful and I have definitely gotten ideas from it. But the one funny thing is most of the other review blogs say mention whether or not the toy makes them cum. I have never mentioned this for two reasons:


Everybody is different so if one toy really does it for me, it might not for someone else.


For me, It is more about the design of the toy



My blog does take a more objective perspective on toys. It is just interesting to read all about other people’s orgasms. I think “that's nice but it is only your experience which I can’t relate to”

Turn Me On by Adam & Eve



Name
: Turn Me On Rechargeable Love Bullet

Price: $39.95

Material:
Silicone & Durable ABS Plastic

Power Source: Remote is battery powered, Bullet is USB rechargeable

Basic Description: This is a basic bullet vibrator with a wireless remote control. it has 36 different vibrating speeds and functions.

Pros:
The bullet is larger than other bullet vibrators, so that means it will not get lost as easily. Also, there is a retrieval cord attached to the bullet that you can hold on to or wrap it around your finger to help you hold it in place.  The remote control can be mounted where ever is most accessible, and the buttons are a little small but easy to press.

Cons: because it is still a bullet you don't have a lot of room to grab it. also if you like to put your vibrator in your pants, it can move around a lot.

Accessibility Features
: The remote control is the main accessibility feature, it makes this bullet so much more accessible than other bullets.

Ponderings
: if you enjoy bullet vibrators but don't like the cord attached to other remote controlled bullets, this toy is for you!

Diamond Wand by Spectrum Boutique



Name: Diamond Wand

Price: $60

Material:
Silicone

Power Source
: USB recharable

Basic Description: This slim vibrator packs a punch! It has 21 vibration and pattern settings, it is nice and bendy so it can mold to your body well. Its slim design makes it easy to slip in tight places.

Pros: It is a powerful wand with a small package. Most wands like the Magic Wand are big and bulky but this one is easy to hold and wedge in places.

Cons: Because it has 21 vibrations you might have to press the button many times to get where you want to be.

Accessibility Features:
the button is quite big and easy to press. The whole toy vibrates so you don't have to pinpoint where your toy goes.

Ponderings: If you want a wand but think the traditional wand to is too big for you, you should definitely try this wand. it is very accessible!

Tula Toy Mount by Liberator Review



Name: Tula Toy Mount

Price: $95

Material: Velvish

Power Source: N/A

Basic Description: 

This is an awesome toy mount that holds 2 different toys, one on top and one on the side. This means one person can straddle it and get to have fun with the top toy while one person lies down. and gets to have fun with the other toy. although this is not what it is advertised for, it also doubles as a wedge for positioning.


Pros: There are so many different ways you can use this mount. from solo to partner play, it has many options! I also like how firm the wedge is, providing a solid base for your fun!



Cons: you do need a good sense of balance to be on top; if you are looking for something that helps you sit up, check out my review of the reading pillow




Accessibility Features: like I said, you can use this so many different ways, so it is accessible to a variety of people with disabilities.




Ponderings: if you are looking for a toy mount this is an awesome option! I highly recommend this product.

Call Bell Review


Name: Call Bell
Price: $4.63
Material: Nickle

Power Source: N/A

Basic Description: This is a basic call bell like you would see at a hotel. it is not electronic at all.

Pros: It is very easy to ring the bell even I, with my minimal hand control. can easily ring the bell.

Cons: it is not super loud, so whoever you need to hear the bell should be in close range.

Accessibility Features: you might be thinking "why is there a call bell on a sex toy review blog?" well, it is good for when you want private time but have PCAs and need a way to tell them when you are finished. Even if you are verbal you might not want to call out if you have roommates or live with your parents. this provides a simple but effective way to let your PCAs know you are ready for them to come back. if you are in fact nonverbal this is an excellent non-electric way (so you don't have to worry about batteries dying) to notify your PCA.

Ponderings: as you might have guessed, there are way more tools to make sex accessible than just sex toys. you just have to be creative and think out side of the box!

Milliard Reading Pillow

Price: $39.99


Material: Memory Foam

Power Source: N/A

Basic Description: this is a standard reading pillow. it has a nice firm but has a soft backing and 2 armrests.

Pros: it provides support for when you want to try positions that involve sitting up. it is cushiony and because it is made from memory foam it molds to your body.

Cons: if you need a lot of support to sit up this might be the best for you,

Accessibility Features: your partner can use it and you can lean on them without them having to help much leaving their hands free for fun. also if you need just a bit of support with sitting up this pillow would be awesome for you.

Ponderings: tools for sex don't always have to be toys, they can be pillows, wedges, and anything you might need to help you have the best sex you can have.

Aries Finger Massager by Betty's Toy Box



Name: Aries Finger Massager

Price: $29.99

Material: Silicone

Power Source: 1 AAA Battery

Basic Description: This is a vibrator you hold between your fingers. it has 5 patterns of vibrations but only one speed.

Pros: It is small and lightweight so it would be good if you can only grasp and pick up little things.

Cons: putting the battery in took a lot of fine motor skills and still was hard. You also need decent hand control to grab the toy in the first place. it is also small so you have to be very specific with where you put it.

Accessibility Features:
The only accessible feature is the one button, but you still have to be able to press it in rather hard.


Ponderings: This toy might be accessible to some people, but for the most part it is not a very accessible toy.

Screaming O by Betty's Toy Box




Name:
Screaming O 

Price: $62.99

Material: Silicone

Power Source: Rechargeable with a USB cable

Basic Description: This is a slim g-spot vibrator, it is medium length. it has nice ridges on the tip for more stimulation. it has 20 functions, is waterproof so you can take it in the shower or bathtub.

Pros: It is long so you can get a nice grasp of the toy or sit on one end to keep it in place and still use the rest of it to have fun! Even though this is a G-Spot vibrator it can be used for external play too for any gender! it is rather strong so that is nice too. It has a curve that could be good for helping you reach the good spots. it is also fairly lightweight so that's good for people who can not pick up heavy toys.

Cons: It is kind of wide so if you want to use it internally, keep that in mind. For some people, the curve could be annoying depending on what you're looking for.

Accessibility Features: It is a very accessible toy and versatile too! the length and the fact that the entire toy vibrates is really nice. The buttons are pretty simple, its just two buttons on the bottom of the toy that let you swipe through the functions, and you just hold down either to turn it off or on.

Ponderings: I really recommend this toy. It is one of the most accessible toys I have reviewed so far.

Uberlube



Name: Uberlube

Price: $18 per 50 ML bottle


Material: Silicone Lubricant

Power Source: N/A

Basic Description: This clear lubricant is a silicone based lube, it is not sticky and the excess lube absorbs into your skin leaving it super soft. it does not stain or leave marks.

Pros: it is mostly allergy free unless you have a silicone allergy, so its great for people with sensitivities. it has a nice pump which is fairly easy to use. I have very little hand coordination and I was able to dispense lube.

Cons: the bottle is glass so keep that in mind if breaking it will be a concern for you. the pump could only dispense small amounts of lube out that got mostly on my hand. but if you have more coordination with your hands it will likely work out fine.

Accessibility Features: the fact that it is mostly just silicone makes it a good choice for people with disabilities especially for people with sensitivity. also because it absorbs to your skin you don't have to worry about feeling sticky afterward or needing to shower immediately. The pump is mostly accessible compared to other lubricants the market.

Ponderings: all in all, I feel this lube is a great choice and accessible for many people.

TuLips by Sweet Vibrations




Name: TuLips


Price: $44.99


Material: Silicone


Power Source: Rechargeable with USB cord


Basic Description: This toy is a clitoral stimulator, it has a nub that goes on your clitoris and has to sides for your labia. it has 10 different vibration settings. It is waterproof and fits in the palm of your hand.


Pros: It is small so you could easily slip it in your underwear and since it is nicely curved it will fit against your body. The buttons are easy to press.


Cons: There is not a handle so if you need something to grip on this toy will not have it. The buttons for power and to switch modes are very close together so you might not hit what you want to hit.


Accessibility Features: it can be a good hands-free device because of its shape and size.



Ponderings: I would recommend this toy for people looking for external stimulation and maybe needing a hands free device.

Ponderings: All in all, I feel this toy is fairly accessible, if you want to try clitoral suction I would recommend this toy.

Chest Harness Review

This custom made chest harness by Mr. S Leather is awesome for people who can not use a traditional pelvic harness.  The harness is worn on the chest giving the wearer an awesome view of the action. One note: If your legs like to be bent this might not be the best harness for you because the person riding you might not have enough room to straddle you comfortably. I still recommend this harness because it is so fun and adaptable.

You can just order them and have the toys shipped to 3016 E Colorado #70075 Pasadena, CA 91117. Help me continue this awesome blog!

Monday, December 17, 2018

"Perfect Match" Review

The next toy is the “Perfect Match” ($34.99). This is a g-spot stimulator with a clitoral stimulator attached. It is nice and flexible, which I like. The buttons are easy to press. It is a nice length, so you can get a good grip on it.


Thursday, December 13, 2018

Thigh Harness by Sports Sheets



The Thigh Harness ($23.99) by Sports Sheets is a leg harness that can hold various sizes of dildos. It uses velcro which means it is very size adaptable. It is a soft but sturdy fabric. You can also position the toy anywhere on your leg (top, side, bottom, etc.) so you have even more flexibility about where best to put the toy. I highly recommend this thigh harness!

Tuesday, December 11, 2018

Magic Wand review


the Hitachi Magic Wand  ($159) is a powerful vibrator. It can be used anywhere on the body as a massager. It has different settings and speeds. However, it is heavy so that should be kept in consideration. You can prop it between pillows or just wedge it between your legs. The buttons are fairly easy to press. The head is big so you don't have to be very precise about where you put it. Also, this version is rechargeable so you don't have to worry about cords! If you like strong vibrations this is a good toy for that!

Review of “Girl’s Best Friend”


First, we have the “Girl’s Best Friend” ($49.99), which is a clitoral stimulator! It isn’t the lightest, but it is manageable. The buttons are very easy to use! One controls suction and the other controls vibration -- there are many different settings for both. I would say if you have decent hand control and like clitoral stimulation, you should definitely buy this!




Monday, December 3, 2018

"Pixie" Review

The next toy is the “Pixie” ($39.99), which I think is so cute. Look at it! Anyway, this is a small but powerful vibrator. It fits in your hand and has 2 nubs for extra stimulation, but the whole thing vibrates! You can also just put it in your underwear if you have minimal hand control! I’m really excited to try this one out
