The wonderful folks at Sportsheets have wrangled up some paddles to be tested and reviewed at the House of the Silver Spider dungeon.
I am going to give two different reviews on these products. One for a monogamous couple and for a Pro dungeon or a Poly relationship.
Sportsheets sent me the "Bitch" and "Slut" versions.
These are very high quality, thick sturdy leather. The handle is engraved with the Sportsheet logo and the rivets are custom engraved with the sport sheet logo as well. These paddles are designed to leave the bright red imprint of the word or shape on the paddle on the arse of the spankee! Alternatively, you can also use the other side of the paddle to just smack their arse and get that nice, hot, healthy red glow.
In a situation where it is you and your only partner playing with these lovelies; they are wonderful to work with and can leave some wonderful souvenir impressions on their arse so they can look in the mirror and tell you were there. For the one partner, the leather would be easy to clean up and care for and most likely last forever.
For the Pro Domme/Poly couples... You may want to start nudging the folks at Sportsheets to see if they can make the same things out of rubber with a nice shiny red plastic insert.
The con for these lovely pieces is that the beautiful red insert is paper. So in a situation where you have to disinfect/clean the paddle because you need to warm more than one arse, the paper is not going to hold up to the abuse.
My grrl thoroughly enjoyed her "Impressions" experience and had a lovely "SLUT" to take home with her as a souvenir.
Hey! There is one way where you can get around the disinfecting conundrum - make each submissive buy their own paddle! I'm sure the folks at Sportsheets won't mind! ;-)
These kinky bedroom paddles come in three colors; red, black and cheetah. Sportsheets sent me the red version. Somebody there is psychic knowing that Mistress' whole dungeon is black and red! 
The leather side is the nice, thick, premium leather that you would expect from Sportsheets. Of course it has the metal insert to give it the stability and the sting that it needs. You have the choice of paddling with the leather side for the nice stingy slap, or paddling with the faux fur side that has a little more thud and a lot less sting.
So this is a product that I would certainly recommend for the couple exploring the kinkier side in the bedroom. Well suited to single partner use. If you are super crafty and nasty, you can flip the paddle mid strike so your partner never knows which side is coming!
Because of the faux fur, I would not recommend this product to be used in a dungeon. You really cannot clean or disinfect the faux fur for use in a dungeon situation.
Another quality product from the folks at Sportsheets to help you explore the kinkier side of your partner.
From the folks at Sportsheets. This genuine leather slapper is adorned with metal rivets and metal D-ring to intensify your play.
Heavy duty, thick, high quality leather slapper. The leather is stamped with the Sportsheets logo and each flat stud has the Sportsheet's "S" engraved in it. Top it all off with the heavy-duty D-ring and you have a quality product.
For light play, take the slapper and use it like a crop; holding the handle with one hand and flicking your lover's nipples or clit with this. For the heavier, sadistic play - go hard and use it like a paddle all slappy and stingy!
My only con for this piece is that the finished outside edge of the leather was not colored, so I am going to have to take it to one of my leather crafters and have them dye it for me.
On the plus side; a slapper is always a must in a Pro Dungeon and this one can actually be cleaned and disinfected because it is an all leather product and has stood up to my abusive tests to be used again.
From the insert of the Master and Mistress pheromone roll-on:
"Pheromones are naturally occurring chemicals that send out subconscious scent signals to the opposite gender that trigger powerful sexual responses. They help to release that deliciously seductive power inside of you.
Mistress incorporates a more subliminal and powerful pheromone that works on the person wearing it to exude confidence, a calm attractiveness and renewed interest in inimacy.
How Do Pheromones Work?
Since pheromones are odorless, and because they travel through the air in the smallest traces, tehy are barely detectable. In fact, it is only through our vomeronasal organ (VMO) that we are able to detect pheromones. They secretly affect our biological processes which in turn stimulate our sexual desires and reproductive behaviors.
There is an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence that supports the effectiveness of pheromones as sexual attractants. Evidence also states that our sense of smell governs who we're attracted to - more so that our sense of sight! Scent plays a far larger role in human sexuality than any of us can imagine."
I don't think I have had long enough with this wonderful line of products. If I need to add further notes a couple of weeks down the road, I will do so.
Let's start out with the lip gloss:
The shade is called "Seduction". The bottle is simply elegant - deserving of the "Mistress" name. The colors are not sheer; they are opaque and the pigments are vibrant.
Now I have to admit I don't wear lip gloss often and you could tell by the feathering, bleeding mess I made of my face the first time I wore this! I'm a lipstick wearer because I don't like getting my color on somebody's cheek or lips when I kiss them. So I had a friend give me a couple of pointers on wearing lip gloss:
1. Use lip liner! I do this religiously even when wearing lipstick but this does not always work when wearing gloss.
2. Don't smack your lips!! Apply the gloss and just leave it. Don't rub your lips together because this will smear the gloss over the lip liner and make the color bleed. Just apply, smile, and look gorgeous!
Pheromones are built into this lovely lip gloss, so not only does it look fabulous while you are wearing it (the Drag Queens even complimented me!) but it makes you feel fabulous as well. There is an extra bounce in your step, a twinkle in your eye and a teasing smile often coming to the lips! Every Mistress should have this secret weapon in her handbag somewhere.
Next we have the Mistress pheromone potion:
I have a soft spot in my heart for all that is medieval/Victorian - the packaging for these products made me catch my breath. They are elegant and beautiful as you can see for yourself. You simply must go to their website and read "The Story"
that inspired the product line!
This product is rolled on with two to three swipes just under your nose. It works on you to make you feel more sexy, confident, attractive... It has a very pleasant, refreshing, revitalizing scent. I'm not a perfume lady either, I am hugely allergic to the stuff and when I do wear a scent it is usually something from "Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab" or "Gothic Rosary" - the folks that use natural perfume oils to make their products.
Mistress Pheromones are going to make me a serious addict! Immediately I felt more energized, awake, alive! Give it a few minutes and I was getting aroused! (This may have something to do with the fact that I also like to indulge in the fairer sex as well.)
I may have to try the Master pheromone potion on myself to see how that works out with a fence-sitter such as myself.
They also make the male version of the pheromone potion called Master:
I am certain that it has the same effects on the gentlemen that I had when I experienced "Mistress". I am going to have to see if I can prod my chosen to wear it and see how he likes it!
The folks at Master and Mistress also make a lubricant and a moat mud. It looks like they may have some more new and interesting products on the horizon as well.
Try them out - I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
This little gem was a birthday present from my significant other. It is the entry level vibe from the luxury line of Jimmy Jane. As I passed it around for my guests to see; many eyebrows were raised when they felt the power of the vibrations...
Any lady that rides (or admires) a Harley Davidson (and I am talking about the older models that are VERY loud) knows what I mean by vibration pitch. The Harley is the world's biggest and sexiest vibrator!! There - now the whole world knows my dirty little secret!
Jimmy Jane has done their research and FOUND that perfect vibration pitch... They have built a space-age motor that looks like an AA battery. This motor is durable and replaceable. They place this amazing technology into a sleek, anodized aluminum water-proof sheath. They are available in a variety of colors; and in versions that are tattooed.
The Jimmy Janes are also available in titanium and other precious metals. Great for temperature play. Waterproof. Dunk it in ice water - heat it up in hot water - use it in the bath - use it in the shower. Hot sex in the hot tub anyone?
Oh, and I almost forgot - it's DISHWASHER SAFE folks!!
Although I had done my homework on this toy before I had put it on my wishlist, I was apprehensive when I got to see it in person because it is so slim. But then again the debutantes don't want some monstrous dildo that looks like it came off of a horse either!
Actually getting to try it out; it's slim for a reason ladies! You can angle it just right to hit the g-spot. Combine the right angle with the right vibration pitch and you get the right orgasm! No it doesn't thump to the music and it doesn't do back flips; but it is my new favorite that will be traveling with me wherever I roam.
I can't really suggest any improvements for this one. It is an attractive, high quality product that lives up to all of my standards; and like my sexy Harleys - it's a smooth ride ladies!
Being the huge Necro-Nerd that I am - I just have to own all of the latest technology and be that pioneer to put that technology through its paces.
When I saw the new line of OhMiBod, I was intrigued and looking forward to testing the toys out...
The Boditalk is compatible with a cellular phone. When the phone is in close range (3 feet) of the vibe, it sets it off - going through its various cycles until the end of the call.
The packaging looks like something that was designed for the Ipod. Brightly colored, feminine and minimalistic. A nice looking vibe but I was not impressed with the cheap plastic chromed end-cap. The cardboard instruction insert also had a typo. (come on people - use your spell check!)
The "Dead Batteries" are a nice touch as well - they are batteries that have a sleeves that picture pop-iconic art on them.
The vibe also comes with a bright pink velvet storage bad to store your toy cleanly and discreetly.
Now me being the Evil Bitch that I am can think of all kinds of devious ways to use this on my subs... It gives a new meaning to "phone sex" and "talking dirty". I had some orgasm control in mind for the submissive in question.
There may have to be an addendum done for this particular vibe because apparently there are rumors that it can be used as one of the tele-dildonics devices in the web-based world of "Second Life". (Insert Evil Grin Here!) You too can abuse and amuse from afar!
So back to the grrl... Dirty talk took place, and a lot of it. Before I delivered the toy I familiarized myself with the 7 cycles of vibrations that it goes through. She certainly didn't like the "quiet" parts!
When she was finally allowed release; I believe the word she used was "gushing"! Fun was had by all!
We are looking forward to trying out the Naughtinano and the OhMiBod with some good Angry/Stompy German Industrial Bass.
So to wrap it up:
Presentation was good minus the one typo.
Quality is decent; I'd like to see real chrome end caps.
Fun Factor; all it takes is an imagination and a cell phone... There are endless games and much fun to be had with the Boditalk.
Every good Femme Domme has at least one harness in her collection of gear. I have a few to choose from, depending on my mood or what I am wearing.
The new Outlaw Leather (Syd) harness that I have just received to review is my new favourite...The harness was in my eager hands quite quickly. Arriving in a plain box, it comes with its own black velvet storage bag for those of you who like to be discreet.
When I was originally checking out the company - they have a few models to choose from; but two stood out from the rest - the Annie-O and the Syd. Since any of you that know me, know how much I simply ADORE cowgirls (insert sneer here); I chose the Syd as it was closer to my personality and it came in my color scheme.
The photos do not do the harness justice... The quality of the piece is amazing. the leather and the patent are thick and sturdy. One nickel-plated metal ring and one nitrile rubber ring are included. They have designed this harness to fit BBW as well with up to a 54" waist.
The harness design itself is unique... It can hold one single dildo, one double-ended or two singles, depending on your personal preference. The holes are cut in such a way where the dildos are angled to give the most pleasure.
Putting the piece through its paces; it stands up to abuse! My grrl really enjoyed the look, and the feel of it. I liked the options available. It's fairly easy to clean up. I'm looking forward to trying it again with a stainless dildo that is on its merry way here!
I would love to see the folks at Outlaw Leather make one of these lovelies with a vacu-lock attachment for the dildos. You really can't ask for much more in a harness folks!
