Toy with me Tuesday #25

It's the start of December, that means it's almost Christmas. There's only a limited time to shop for Christmas presents. This week for Toy with me Tuesday, why not share a photo of a toy you'd recommend to those looking for gift buying ideas.


 I’ve always liked to take creative pictures of sex toys, but sometimes there isn’t a place to share them. There are only so many pictures one can use within each individual review. So I’ve decided to come up with Toy with me Tuesday where we can share more awesome sex toy pictures. Also, the great thing about Toy with me Tuesday is that it’s not just open to reviewers, anyone is free to take part as long as they follow the guidelines. 


Toy with me Tuesday is about getting creative with your artistic side and taking pictures of your sex toy collection. It’s a bit of weekly fun, but make sure you read up on the guidelines before entering. Once you have posted your Toy with me Tuesday blog entry, link to it below using the link tool.

Toy with me Tuesday: Feminine Shades

I must admit, I'm feeling a tad guilty about my lack of blogging over the past month or so. I'm starting to regain my confidence once again, and whilst I have loads of fab ideas, I'm still having difficulty putting them out there. Looking back at past blog posts has been a big help, and I've stumbled on some pretty amazing stuff which I had forgotten about.

This photo in particular is one which I quickly forgot due to being very busy in the summer. I'm not normally one for pink, but rather liked the femininity in this photo. It's silly, back then I was so busy, yet putting together a photo like that would only take seconds. Now when I attempt something just as creative, it takes days to complete. I know I'm probably putting a little too much pressure on myself, and everyone gets blips from time to time. But it'd be nice to get that artist side back once again.

Mona 2

The Mona 2 is a luxury rechargeable vibrator, designed and manufactured by Lelo. Its silicone shaft and rigid body are intended to generate a strong G-spot orgasm as it comfortably slides into the natural contours of your body. The Mona 2 is a step-up from the original Mona vibrator by Lelo. The Mona 2 has four main differences. The first two are the changes in size; the toy’s girth has been marginally reduced and its shaft extended. The final, and perhaps more vital, changes are an upgrade in power, and the ability to be used in aquatic environments. The Mona 2 is a great product for those seeking a strong rechargeable sex toy made from hypoallergenic materials. 

The Mona 2 arrives in a thin glossy outer cardboard sleeve with an image of the product which, once removed, leaves you with a heavy duty matte black box, with Lelo emblazoned into its lid. The main box’s appearance is on par with a luxury jewellery gift box. Inside, the Mona 2 is found resting within a velvet-lined foam cut-out. To the side is a cardboard flap, under which you will find the toy’s charger, a lubricant sample, authenticity card, satin drawstring bag, and a warranty and product manual. The packaging means this would make a lovely gift, and it houses everything you need to get started.

The Mona 2 features a rigid curved shaft with a bulbous prolate spheroid head, providing a nicely tapered tip. The front of the product’s head rises to a crest, aiding G-spot stimulation. The main shaft is coated in velvet smooth silicone which causes minor drag when rubbed against dry skin. The product is 8 inches in length, with a maximum of 4.5 inches in girth. The product has 5.25 inches of insertable shaft. The lower body of the product is ergonomically designed for maximum grip; made from glossy ABS plastic, it houses four silicone control buttons and the charging port. The charging port is covered by a silicone flap, which flips out of the way when charging. The device takes up to four hours to charge, and will need charging prior to its first use. 

The Mona 2 has a total of six vibration modes, ranging from continuous and pulsation, to various escalation modes; these are selected via the two arrow buttons. You are able to adjust the intensity of each mode using the ‘-’ and ‘+’ buttons. The product should arrive travel locked. To remove the lock, press and hold the minus and plus buttons together for a few seconds, and repeat the process to reengage the lock. The product emits rumbly vibrations, starting out with light rumbles, leading to very intense vibrations on the highest setting. The toy is exceptionally quiet even on its maximum setting. The battery lasts for up to several hours; there is no warning prior to it cutting out.

When using the Mona 2 I started by using the tapered tip to tease my labia and clitoris. The Mona 2 works well at offering pinpoint stimulation to the clitoris, and its intense rumbly power induces clitoral orgasm rapidly. When used as a direct clitoral stimulator, the length of the product and easy to grip handle made foreplay effortless. The Mona 2 also works well for less direct clitoral stimulation. I was able to rest the Mona 2’s arched and raised tip onto my vulva, the raised crest of the shaft lying over my clitoris and huddling between my labia. The curving lower part of the shaft arched over my pubic mound naturally, as if the product was designed to fit against my body comfortably and flawlessly. The rumbly vibrations emitted less direct stimulation, but were still enough to induce climax. However, I found the tip of the toy would obstruct my vaginal orifice slightly when used like this, as well as the position offering limited access to the function controls. However I feel that this product could work well when slotted between two bodies during coitus. 

When using the Mona 2 for vaginal insertion, my body required some additional foreplay and lubrication to help insert the bulbous tip of the shaft. I used the Mona 2 to stimulate around my vaginal orifice and labia prior to insertion. I experienced some difficulty inserting the whole of the useable shaft at first, due to the rigid bend in the product. Once my body had adapted to the toy and was more aroused, the crest of the prolate spheroid head slid onto my G-spot and was gentle enough to stroke across my G-spot whilst thrusting with the product. The rumbly vibrations were perfect for reaching a strong G-spot climax. The toy’s shape, once inserted, meant that although I preferred using motions during masturbation, I was able to just leave the Mona 2 inserted and stationary; it stayed in position with the crest lodged flush against my G-spot. I was able to leave the product inserted and let the vibrations do all the work for me, without fear of the shaft slipping away inconveniently. When inserting the Mona 2 deeper vaginally, I found the toy’s arching shape and tapered tip caused discomfort to my A-spot and cervix. 

As the Mona 2 is waterproof it can be cleaned easily. Simply wash it under warm water with your standard antibacterial wash. Between the silicone shaft and ABS plastic handle there is a small gap which may trap dirt. The silicone buttons have a slightly sticky texture to them, and so may require some additional attention when cleaning. Before storing the Mona 2, make sure you allow the product to air dry, and ensure it is dry before charging.

The Mona 2 is a very powerful vibrator, offering deep rumbly vibrations which stimulate my G-spot perfectly. The Mona 2 is one of those toys I like for both internal and external stimulation, inducing an explosive orgasm either way. Surprisingly, it fits my body’s contours perfectly when used externally or internally too, which is rare when a product is designed for one specific area of stimulation. The Mona 2 is a great option for those searching for a strong vibrator for either clitoral or vaginal use, although some may have difficultly inserting its bulbous and curvaceous shaft. 

Thank you to Lelo for sending me the Mona 2 for my review. You can find out more about this product here. 

Aneros Evi

The Aneros Evi is an anatomically correct kegel exerciser made from a rigid body and silicone coating. The Evi lays claim to not only being a toy which ‘fit’s all women’s vaginas, but its workout regime can potentially lead to a satisfying G-spot climax. The device is designed to produce hands-free pleasure as you clench your pelvic floor muscles. Unlike a vibrator or dildo, the Evi takes much longer to ensure astounding amounts of satisfaction is achieved in a more natural way. The Evi not only works your pelvic floor muscles in a congenial manner, it can also make you more aware of your bodies levels of arousal, allowing your hands, bodily motions, and fantasies to slowly excite these inherent senses. One can learn a lot about themselves with the EVI.


The Evi arrives in red lace bag, covering a solid white and red box and a removable cardboard sleeve, with product images and information printed onto it. The box opens at the front by a magnetic latch; the box is solidly built and has the brand name printed on it in silver twice. Inside the packing you will find an instructional pamphlet detailing how to use and clean the Evi, and an educational diagram showing how to position the product during insertion. The Evi’s packing including the lace storage bag are unsuspicious, yet very large compared to the product size. The item is resting in a plastic tray, which is removable. 

The Evi is a rigid product coated in a velvety smooth coating of silicone. It lacks any form of flexibility. The Evi’s shape is unique; to the uneducated eye it appears similar to a butt plug, with its base flaring outwards after its inch stem. Its shape also oddly reminds me of a chicken’s wing or wish bone - could this be an evolutionary step up from the good ol’ kegel egg? The head of the toy is a bulbous egg shape measuring 2.5 inches in length with 4.52 inches in circumference. The egg is sitting on top of an inch stem with 1.5 inches of girth. The egg tilts backwards at approximately at a 60 degree angle from the straight vertical stem shaft. Jutting out from the stem is an arching leg, aimed to function as an anchor as well as a clitoral stimulator; this juts out 2 inches from the stem and is a total of 2.75 inches. It should stimulate anyone’s clitoris which is located up to 2 inches away from the vaginal orifice. There is a very mild manufacturing seam found running around the silicone, it’s hardly noticeable when stroked. The silicone causes very little drag when rubbed against dry skin. At the base of the Evi, you will find the brand name moulded in raised silicone letters on one side, and their website address on the opposite.

The Evi is controlled by natural thrusting and clenching motions which you’d naturally use during coitus. The instructions provided suggest the following:


Thrust your torso upwards whilst lying on your back.

Twist your hips side-to-side whilst grounding your body during a sitting or lying position. 


When using the Evi only a small amount of additional lubrication and foreplay was needed during insertion. Due to its ovoid shape, and contoured angling, the main body of the product slipped into my vagina comfortably. As it positioned itself, the Evi made noticeable contact on my G-spot and softly stroked it. When using the Evi as a kegel device I slowly started to clench my pelvic floor muscles. The product noticeably moved up and down inside of my vagina, as my pelvic floor muscles clenched and proceeded to release, I found the products weight reassuring. The external clitoral stimulator anchored the product, and helped rock the inserted bulb with rhythmic melody, along my body’s natural pulse. The external clitoral arm sadly wasn’t the correct texture to offer any noticeable stimulation to my clitoris and only just managed to reach it. The external extension snuggled between my labia, contributing gentle stimulation to each lip. I found that when purely applying standard pelvic floor clenching and releasing, that the toy didn’t really lead to an orgasmic climax – G-spot or clitoral. However, the toy did noticeably work-out my pelvic floor muscles and was able to stay inserted better than many other Kegel devices I had previously tested. 


I decided to try and apply thrusting motions along with rhythmic Kegel clenching. Firstly I tried lying down and raising my hips as I thrusted, next I tried the torso twists the booklet instructed. I still wasn’t able to reach climax. I then tried sitting and rocking the base against a chair seat, this motion rocked the bulb more than my previous efforts but still didn’t lead to climax. During the seated position the clitoral stimulator jabbed into my vulva uncomfortably. Frustrated by other reviews claiming this device induced earth shattering orgasms, I kept trying variations of thrusts twists, and pelvic floor clenches. Attempting even activities such as yoga, and more extreme, hula hooping. I still didn’t reach climax.


I took my time with the device. Rather than stressing over the lack of orgasm during use, I started to focus on the toys ability to make my general awareness of my body’s arousal more evident. I was able to notice areas of my body become more sensitive, even some which I had very little awareness of prior to using the device. I was able to enjoy the fundamentals of foreplay. Leading to one of the most pleasurable warm-ups prior to full masturbation/coitus, I had experienced in a long time. Because of this, I’d recommend the Evi to anyone who wants to learn more about their own body.


When using the Evi like a dildo, I used the clitoral arm as a handle, to thrust and rock the device. I found when inserting the product with the clitoral arm above my clitoris, the internal bulb mildly stimulated my G-spot. When using the Evi in reverse, with the clitoral arm pointing towards my back, the tip of the egg applied firm pressure during G-spot play. Sadly controlling the Evi as a dildo was troublesome due to the lack of an external handle.

The natural contours of the Evi also make the toy an excellent butt plug. The egg tilts back into the rectum comfortably. Due to the type of silicone only a slight amount of drag occurred during insertion, meaning it needed less lubrication than some products. The bulb popped past my sphincter at ease, and the narrow stem travelled up into my body, whilst the egg nested above my pelvic floor muscles. The clitoral arm acted as an effective base, but also anchors the toy. I was able to move the product with my pelvic floor muscles, rocking it back and forth, for gratifyingly hands-free stimulation. Due to the length of the clitoral arm, I was unable to use additional toys vaginally as it obstructed my orifice. However, I believe the clitoral arm would work effectively at stimulating the male perineum, and possibly the male prostate too. I also feel that it could be used safely as a way for men to work out their pelvic floor muscles and become more aware of them too. I found the product slightly difficult to remove once inserted anally.


The Evi can be cleaned with your standard antibacterial wash and water, boiled, a 10% bleach solution, sterilised, and even placed into the dishwasher. You may need to provide some additional attention to cleaning the raised text on the clitoral arm, as dirt can reside around here.



Overall, the Evi and I didn’t have the most fruitful of starts. Yet after taking a step back to reassess the device, I now believe it could be an excellent product for those wishing to learn more about their body. Not only is it one of the easiest Kegel devices I’ve used, due to its ergonomic shape fitting the body correctly, meaning it’ll stay inserted without quibble (a lot easier than many Kegel dumbbells). The Evi helps you become more aware of your body’s natural levels of arousal, potentially leading to an intense orgasm, and a happier sex life. 




Thank you to Lovehoney for providing me with this kegel device for my review. You can purchase the Evi here.
