Man.Wand Evo Review

Man.Wand Evo

Reviewed by Shamus MacDuff

 

Imagine the gentle caress of a bird’s wings on the sensitive head of your penis. The action end of Man.Wand Evo’s exciting new penis vibrator wand from  Betty’s Toy Box is described as “soft silicone wings.” These flutter rapidly like hummingbird wings when the toy is turned on. Five patterns and five intensities range from soft feathery caresses to a peck on your pecker. You’ll take flight with the especially powerful crescendo level, which gradually increases the intensity. It leads me directly to orgasm.

Man.Wand Evo is eight inches long, light weight, and sports a comfortable, easy grip handle. Three control buttons are easy to access on one side, with a USB recharging spot on the other. The handle vibrates, but not unpleasantly for arthritic hands. Evo emits a soft hum when turned on. While the hum increases as intensities increase, it’s never loud.

The other side has a smooth, rounded crown that also vibrates. Stimulation comes from holding it in place and altering the patterns and intensities to find the perfect combination. Addition of a high-quality lube provides icing on the cake.

Evo is fun to use solo and partnered. Although I’ve seen the bulb part promoted as a clitoral stimulator, my vulva-owning partner did not find it compelling. However, she greatly enjoyed using this toy on me! The rounded crown aroused my nipples and scrotum. Then when she held it in place around my penis on my frenulum while I moved to my rhythm, we made magic!

Evo is made of body-safe silicone and is completely waterproof. It comes with a USB charging cable and a nice storage bag. The toy is easy to clean and holds a charge for a long time.

I’ve been reviewing penis pleasure toys for Joan’s blog since 2018, and Evo is a most welcome and versatile addition to my collection. I find it a true delight. I’m confident that you will love it, too.

Thank you, Betty’s Toy Box, for sending me  Man.Wand Evo in return for an honest review!

JETT TURBO from Hot Octopuss review

JETT TURBO W ROSE

JETT TURBO 1Review of JETT TURBO from Hot Octopuss

by Shamus MacDuff

 

JETT TURBO is an odd-looking sex toy. It consists of a flat “plate” attached to a long cord that bifurcates into two plugs. The plugs insert into two bullet-like motors that share a stretchy sleeve-like “crest.” The crest is “the room where it happens.”

“Wait a minute,” you say. “Isn’t there already a penis toy named JETT from Hot Octopuss?” Yes, there is. But like many sex toys, as technology changes improved versions that add desirable features are developed. Such is the situation with the new JETT TURBO.JETT TURBO 2

The word turbo connotes speed and high performance. Both apply to this wonderful new sex toy. JETT TURBO is more powerful than its predecessor while retaining all its desirable features. It is meant primarily for solo play, but it allows for exciting partner play as well.

Flaccid or erect, insert your penis (*see photo note) into the flexible sleeve and align your frenulum above the twin motors.

Next, using the control plate, play with different intensities from the treble and bass motors to find your personal optimum. You can then select from eight different patterns to yield a wide variety of stimulation.

If you’re partnered, your lover may discover—as mine did!—that a tongue on the protruding penis head takes pre-orgasmic pleasure to a sublime level.

 

 

Pioneering the development of sex toys designed especially for penis owners, Hot Octopuss introduced the Pulse “guybrator” in 2013. A few years later, they added the dual-engine JETT in 2019. The original JETT brought us their innovative patented treble and bass technology.

Now 7 years later the JETT TURBO contains many new, improved features:

  • Lithium battery charges via a USB cable instead of four replaceable AA batteries.
  • Convenient 29-inch retractable cord versus an 18 inch non-retractable one.
  • Considerably lighter than the original JETT, weighing just over half a pound total (271 grams).
  • Power pack is smaller, flatter, much more attractive, and contains colored lights that indicate the different intensity levels.
  • Detachable bullet motors are waterproof, facilitating cleaning. (The power pack is not waterproof.)
  • Made of body safe silicone.

I had continued to enjoy the original JETT in spite of the periodic inconvenience of purchasing new batteries. But now that I’ve experienced the new refined model I see why Hot Octopuss has invested in JETT TURBO. The performance and convenience are superb, as you’ll see when you give it a go!

Arcwave Zing Stroker Review

Arcwave Zing Stroker Review

by Shamus MacDuff

 

What guy wouldn’t enjoy a fling with Arcwave Zing, an innovative self-pleasuring stroker vibrator for the penis in your life! Zing boasts a unique design: it’s a 4-1/4” long, adjustable width “sleeve” masturbator that is open along its length. Stretch it apart to reveal a ribbed interior. Add water-based lube to the interior and to your penis. Insert penis — flaccid or erect — then squeeze the sleeve snugly. Wrap your hand around it, turn on the vibrations, and enjoy!

The word zing means energy, enthusiasm, liveliness. Arcwave Zing delivers all of these with 10 different patterns and 10 intensity levels. It’s fun to experiment with different energy combinations to find those that work best for you. You’ll get so enthusiastic that you might like to dance during your Zing fling. If so, I suggest you “do the twist.” Twisting and rotating the toy around your penis adds lively new sensations to the in-and-out strokes.

Have you ever wrapped foam insulation sleeves around exposed water pipes to protect them from freezing? My first view of Zing brought pipe insulation immediately to mind. The difference is that wrapping with Zing will stimulate rather than insulate your “pipe.”

 

Arcwave Zing combines some features of two other excellent penis toys: Pulse by Hot Octopuss and Body Kisses by Gender X. Like the Pulse, it works well whether or not your penis is erect, and it leads quickly to orgasm. Like Body Kisses, it can attach to your penis hands-free, hanging down to tickle your scrotum and encouraging nipple play.

As with both of those toys, Zing’s controls are easy to use.

 

Other perks:

  • Fully waterproof.
  • Add the stretchy band (included) to secure it for a hands-free experience.
  • Made of body safe silicone.
  • Charges via USB.
  • Arrives in an attractive box with a handsome cloth case for storage.

 

Arcwave Zing is an excellent addition to any penis owner’s toy collection. You’ll discover that your thing will spring with a Zing!

Suck or Rotate? Two Strokers, reviewed by Shamus MacDuff

Photo Suction Stroker and Rotating Stroker called "The Male Rose" by The One

 

Suction Stroker (bottom); Rotating Stroker (top)

 

Both the Suction Stroker and Rotating Stroker from The One are penis strokers designed to mimic various aspects of fellatio. The One calls them “The Male Rose,” referring to a popular vulva toy called The Rose. “The Male Rose” brings to mind Juliet’s famous Shakespearean line: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as sweet.”

Our question is, do these strokers offer blow jobs as sweet as a partner’s mouth? Well, no, but they sure do suck and rotate!

 

 

The One Suction Stroker

For this penis owner, the Suction Stroker is the more successful of the two. Its sleeve for insertion has a small 3/4” opening, the size of a penny. Your penis must be erect and lubed to fit through the stretchable opening into the 4” deep chamber. Once you’re inside, three easily accessible buttons control five suction modes, ten vibration modes and the power level. Combine these to find many settings to your liking.

When operating, the toy clamps onto your member. You can even let it dangle hands-free while stroking your nipples or other erogenous zones. It not only sucks on your cock, but when hanging down, it also reverberates pleasantly against your balls.

Caveat: Once you’ve cleaned the Suction Stroker after use be sure to turn the motor on over the sink with the handle pointing down to eliminate any water that hasn’t already shaken out. Otherwise you’ll be sprayed by a tiny opening in the handle end when next you power up to play. The One should have mentioned this.

The Suction Stroker is 8” long and 3 1/2” wide, considerably larger and heavier (just under a pound!) than Body Kisses by Gender X. Even so, the large variety of pattern combinations is delightful, and for me, this “Male Rose” is a “keeper.”

 

The One Rotating Stroker

The Rotating Stroker requires hands-on at all times because it has a 2-1/2” wide mouth that doesn’t close around your penis. It has nine vibrating, rotating, thrusting patterns and a warming function. Frankly, these make me feel as if my member is a stick in a tug-of-war with my dog. Although personally I don’t find the wild thrashing actions sexy, you might like the sensations. A lubed and erect penis is required to successfully access the toy. The Rotating Stroker is 10” long, 2-1/2” wide, and 3-1/2” deep.

 

“Mouths” of Suction (L) and Rotating (R)

Both Strokers

These strokers are rather heavy and cumbersome compared to other penis toys I’ve reviewed. They are somewhat noisy, especially the Suction Stroker when it’s in full “enthusiastic mode.” Each toy comes with a USB magnetic charger, and they hold a charge for quite a while.

The “action ends” that envelop your penis are of silicone. Their chambers contain lots of soft silicone nubbles to surround your cock, which I enjoy. The handles that contain the motors are made of ABS plastic.

Neither stroker is waterproof. You’ll need to wash the silicone chambers of the strokers with warm water and gentle hand soap while being careful to keep water away from its handle.

 

Final Thoughts

I considered titling this review, “The Ray Gun and the Carp.” The Suction Stroker resembles the ray guns of science fiction fame. The opening of the Rotating Stroker looks like the mouth of a hungry carp. The “ray gun” definitely has the means to blow you away, and if you’re not careful the “carp” will swallow you in a thrash. I recommend the Suction Stroker with enthusiasm — the Rotating Stroker not so much.

 

Many thanks to Good Vibes for sending me the One’s Suction Stroker and Rotating Stroker in return for an honest review.
