As we usher in a brand new year, it is customary to reflect back on the past one, reminiscing on moments, memories, and milestones that made the year memorable. So as we get ready to kick off 2024, we’re going to look back at the products that added a dash of pizzazz to our personal lives in 2023. From lube to sex toys to what we’re looking forward to next year, buckle up for a spicer version of your year in review.
Lubes
Cake Toy Wonder
Cake is one of our favorite brands because they consistently produce high quality lube and affordable toys. But if I had to pick just one lube from their wide offering it would be Toy Wonder because it is so versatile. Toy Wonder is a water based lube designed for sex toys. That means it is designed to stay where you put it instead of dripping all over your sheets. And if your toy session becomes some hot and steamy partner play? No problem, Toy Wonder is a great vaginal or anal lube and it is condom safe as well. Check out our detailed review of Cake Toy Wonder.
Uberlube Silicone Lube
Uberlube Silicone is our very favorite lube. It is made in the USA, and held to very high standards because it is actually registered with the FDA. Uberlube is completely free of animal products, parabens, alcohol, glycerine, scents and flavors so you don’t have to worry about anything. And this stuff seriously lasts forever, I’ve had a second round after falling asleep and this stuff was still doing the job. Be sure to read our detailed review of Uberlube Silicone if you want to know more.
Toys for Everyone
Lovense Domi 2
Wand vibrators are a classic for a reason and we think the Lovense Domi is one of the best examples out there. It’s smaller than most but still packs a punch and a battery that lasts long enough for a couple of sessions, plus it’s remote controllable by the excellent Lovense Remote app. If that’s not enough, Lovense even offers male and female attachments to bring a whole new range of sensations for everyone. Read our detailed review of the Lovense Domi 2 for all the juicy details.
Toys for Her
We-Vibe Melt
The We-Vibe Melt is currently my favorite clit toy in my inventory and is my go to for some alone time. It is also affectionately referred to as Satan’s Sucker in the bedroom 😅 because it is highly effective. The shape is ergonomic for my hand, the toy doesn’t vibrate until my hand is numb, and it spans the ranges of soft sucking to leg shaking power which is just the perfect package for me. It is also one of We-Vibe’s smart toys so you can now guess why it is called Satan’s sucker when Wolf gets his hands on the controls. Our detailed We-Vibe Melt review goes into all the reasons that I love it.
Lovense Lush 3
The Lovense Lush is my favorite all around toy for its versatile abilities. It has a powerful motor that can be controlled by one of the best smart toy apps out there for long distance or hands free play, but that is honestly just the cherry on top. This toy wins for me because it sports a teardrop shape covered in soft body safe silicone, it’s designed to be an insertable and wearable discreet bullet vibe. This toy is loads of fun to wear while out and about (but maybe not to the library), doing chores, or just hanging out with your partner and the fun of them having the controls. It’s also great in hand against the clit and I’ve seen it used anally as well! Just a wonderfully simple and versatile smart toy to have in your inventory. Check our our full Lovense Lush 3 review if you want to know more.
Toys for Him
Arcwave Ghost Stroker
The Arcwave Ghost really impressed me and is currently my go to option for a manual stroker. It was originally only purchased because it was so cheap but then the sensations really surprised me. The Ghost is dirt cheap, gives you a choice of two different textures, dead simple to clean, and comes with a travel and drying case. Check out our full review of the Arcwave Ghost.
Lovense Max 2
The Lovense Max 2 earns my recommendation for best men’s smart toy in 2023. It has been around a while so it doesn’t have the most innovative tech available but I doubt your penis cares about that. But what it does have is one of the best app experiences available. If you want to try long distance with your partner, or get pleased by someone else online, the Lovense Max 2 is the toy to beat.
Honorable Mentions
Kiiroo Pearl
Kiiroo has updated a toy that we have had our eyes on for a while and released the new Pearl 3. The new version adds additional battery life and makes the touch sensitive mode even better by extending the sensitivity to almost the entire toy. That means that the more pressure the toy senses from your body, the more it vibrates! And it can pair up to the Kiiroo app and sync to other FeelConnect enabled toys for some fun long distance sex. Look our for our in depth review of the Kiiroo Pearl 3 soon.
Kiiroo Keon and PowerBlow
The Kiiroo Keon has been out for a while and I’ve had my eye on it, but with the recent release of the PowerBlow I finally gave in. The Keon takes Kiiroo’s FeelStroker and turns it into an automatic stroker. The PowerBlow turns the FeelStroker into a throat goat, with automatic suction that can sync to the motions of the Keon as well. Kiiroo also has an AI powered sync to video and remote sync to a partner. We’ll be reviewing the Kiiroo Keon and Kiiroo Powerblow very soon.
Arcwave Ion
Arcwave excited everyone when they released the Ion. The Ion brings the same air pulsing technology that has been pleasing clits around the world direct to your dick. This sensation is totally unlike anything you’ve felt before, so it does take some getting used to, but if you’ve ever seen a woman playing with one of those air pulsing toys you know just how effective it can be. Watch for detailed review of the Arcwave Ion soon.
Looking Ahead
There’s a few toys that we are really looking forward to trying out in 2024 so be sure to check back soon. If you have anything you want to see reviewed be sure to let us know on our contact page.
Dame Eva
We’ve seen a lot of buzz about the Eva from Dame. It promises to be a clit vibe that is wearable during sex. It has a neat way of wearing it without needing anything inside you, something that we’ve had some issues with on toys like those from We-Vibe. We’re looking forward to providing a full review of the Dame Eva very soon.
LELO Enigma Wave
The Enigma Wave from LELO expands on an already wildly popular toy by adding a stunning third stimulation. “Sensonic” clit stimulation, vibrations inside and out and now “WaveMotion” g-spot stimulation? Sign me up! Look for our comprehensive review of the LELO Enigma Wave soon.
Lovense Solace
The Lovense Solace is a brand new automatic male stroker from Lovense that we are really looking forward to trying. It will be great to have another Lovense Sync compatible toy for long distance sex and it looks like they are adding AI based features to sync to video content as well. We hope to review the Lovense Solace soon.
