Choosing sex toys is an entirely subjective activity. We think that there is something pretty great about all of the sex toys we carry, but once in a while there's something that blows-the-socks (or something else) off of our reviewer, and we've created this page for those few toys that really impress us.

Toys

Fleshlight Vibro
We've loved The Fleshlight since the beginning for their realistic feeling and phthalate-free men's toys, and they just keep giving us reasons to love them more. With the launch of the Fleshlight Vibro, Fleshlight has added a whole new dimension of pleasure to their best-selling line of men's masturbation toys. Featuring three strategically-placed one-touch bullets, the Fleshlight Vibro provides vibration at the opening for maximum stimulation. Available currently in pink vulva ("pink lady") style. As with all Fleshlights, additional styles and sleeves can be special ordered from Come As You Are. This item is currently out of stock | Learn more about Fleshlight Vibro.

Je Joue G-Ki
Je Joue is one sex toy maker that manages to blow our collective minds with each and every sex toy they make. Je Joue's latest creation is the multi-speed, waterproof g-spot vibrator G-Ki. However, and like all of Je Joue's inventions to date, to call G-Ki vibrator is an massive understatement. The G-Ki vibrates, but it also bends two spots to ensure that you get to your g-spot, and it holds its position to keep the vibration where you want it! G-Ki is also rechargeable, but uses a magnetic charger to enable use and cleaning underwater. | Learn more about Je Joue G-Ki.

We-Vibe II Vibrator
Aesthetically unique and brilliantly designed, the We-Vibe multi-speed rechargeable vibrator provides both g-spot and clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex - without wires, straps, or batteries! Intended to be worn during sex, the We-Vibe is totally wireless, hands-free, and it's unique, crescent shaped design provides both g-spot and clitoral vibration.

To use the We-Vibe, insert the textured half of the vibe vaginally while the rest of the toy cradles the pubic bone and sits over the clitoris. With two separate and strong motors, the We-Vibe provides great external and internal stimulation simultaneously. The We-Vibe is a great toy all by itself, but can be made even better when worn during penetrative sex. | Learn more about We-Vibe II Vibrator.

Chemistry DVD
We are huge fans of Tristan Taormino's work, especially when she directs. Her newest is based on a popular reality t.v. show, where we see seven of today's hottest stars cooped up for two days in a gorgeous mansion. No script, no plan, no plot -- anything goes. Tons of toys and more sexual scenarios than you could imagine! The first scene is fantastic, featuring a dynamic pairing between Marie Luv and Mr. Marcus; you'll see why this scorcher of a film is called "Chemistry". Tristan is the queen of explict porn that just features a lot of great sex between people who are having a good time. | Learn more about Chemistry DVD.
