JETT TURBO from Hot Octopuss review
Review 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.
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.
Original JETT vs Turbo
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!
Thank you, Hot Octopuss, for sending me the JETT TURBO in return for an honest review! Learn about the other splendid toys for penis or vulva at Hot Octopuss.com.

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!

Volta from Fun Factory: versatile vibrator
I’ve been singing the praises of the Fun Factory Volta since 2018. This review replaces a previous roundup of several Fun Factory toys. Volta deserves its own review! – Joan
The Fun Factory Volta is a delightfully versatile vibrator for all genders and genitals. The curved shape and vibrating tips (I think of them as “flippers”) invite your creativity. It’s strong, playfully designed, and delivers pleasure and orgasms in a variety of ways.
How to use Volta
- Nuzzle a clitoris by surrounding the glans (protruding tip of the clitoris) with the flippers.
- Rest the curve of the Volta over the vulva for all-over stimulation.
- Separate the flippers to vibrate the clitoris and the vaginal entrance simultaneously.
- Cuddle or circle around the head of a penis, keeping the motion going.
- Encircle the penis with the flippers and squeeze together at the frenulum.
- Stroke the shaft of a penis with the flippers during fellatio.
- Any way you want! Use your imagination.
Pros
The Volta is not only versatile, it’s wonderfully strong! Take your choice of six intensity levels, oh my, and six rhythm patterns. It’s rumbly, which I prefer, rather than buzzy. I really appreciate the ergonomic handle with the “loop” for easy holding, even with lubed fingers. The power buttons are big and easy to see and feel.
Volta is colorful, playfully designed, well-made of body-safe, medical-grade silicone. It’s waterproof for shower, tub, and pool use. It charges easily and reliably via a USB magnetic charger, simple as can be. Use with water-based lubricant only.
Cons
Honestly, I can’t think of any.
Shamus MacDuff’s opinion of Volta for penises
I’ve tried numerous sex toys, both penis toys and gender-free vibrators. Among them all, Volta is the one I return to over and over again. I love it for both self-pleasuring and partner sex.
Looking at Volta I smile at its resemblance to a squid. A squid with attitude! Volta boasts six speeds and six patterns and is surprisingly powerful. It is fully waterproof, allowing shower play, and quite quiet, assisting privacy. It holds a charge for a long time.
When using it solo I enjoy applying Volta’s vibrating “mouth” first to my scrotum, then slowly moving it up my shaft to the frenulum. Doing this leisurely I increase the speed. By the time I reach “the place where it happens” I’m on the verge of ejaculation. Turning it up to the highest speed always results in an orgasm. Sometimes I edge with Volta’s different patterns, holding back and just enjoying the overall sense of well-being that produces.
My partner and I know that Volta will always do its job when she pleasures me. A combination of fellatio, lube, and then Volta inevitably brings me to ecstasy. When she applies the vibrating “mouth” to the ridge of my penis head I always come with a roar. We’ve learned that Volta will jolt ya!

Joan’s new favorites
Clitoral suction vibrators shaped like roses are trendy, and you’ll find several brands and models. They are not at all the same. My clear favorite is Inya the Rose, which captivated my heart and other body parts with just the right amount of suction and vibration and a super comfortable design (unlike another model I tried that seemed to stab and chew). Read more.
The new Pulse Queen from Hot Octopuss is rumbly, rumbly, rumbly, and magnificently strong! If you find buzzy vibes more annoying than stimulating, your clitoris will love the deep, rolling, rumbly oscillations of this one. Designed for external use in many different body positions. Read more.
Shamus’s new favorites
In 2023 Hot Octopuss celebrated the 10th anniversary of its superb penis toy, the Pulse, with a strikingly beautiful iridescent new model, the Pulse Essential Dragon Eye. Think of this as “Pulse the Magic Dragon.” Revving the powerful Pulse Plate technology to 3950 rpm this dragon will frolic with your member, hard or flaccid. It is fully waterproof for bathing play, easy to use, and hands-free should you wish. It’s my go-to solo pleasure toy. Read more.
Body Kisses by Gender X is a marvelous vibrating suction massager that performs penis magic. Slip the head of your cock into the toy’s mouth and activate the suction mode. Then start the vibrations against your frenulum while the toy dangles against your scrotum. Adjust the three speeds and four patterns to find your personal orgasmic combination. It’s the thingamabob that does the job! Read more.
Top Travel Toys
These toys aren’t new. They delighted us but somehow didn’t make it into our favorites list in previous years. This year they asserted themselves as our top travel toys:
Joan: At home or on the go, the We-Vibe Melt gives full-sized pleasure in a small, lightweight, ergonomic toy. Vibrating pulses of air feel to me like gentle, rhythmic sucking building to powerful, rhythmic sucking over 12 intensity levels. All this power in a toy that weighs just a few ounces. Read more.
Shamus: The new generation Tango X from We-Vibe is the perfect travel toy for penis owners. It is lightweight, fully waterproof, recharges quickly, and packs a lot of power into its small bullet-like shape. It is also relatively quiet. I turn it on and take it straight to the frenulum and penile ridge, raising the power in increments. It provides your member with a full workout rapidly resulting in an orgasm, with or without lube. With this toy it only takes one to Tango! Read more.
Don’t forget the lube
Without lubricant, sex toys would be just skin friction. Wicked Sensual Care’s simply® timeless line was created for the needs our age group. Remember to choose water-based or hybrid for use with silicone toys. Our favorites for use with sex toys: Hybrid for vulva and vagina and Jelle for penis. Read more.
