The Redhead Bedhead’s 2015 Sex Toy To-Do List

todolist

 It’s that time of year again, the time when I look at the year ahead and wonder “what inanimate objects would I like to orgasm with this year?”. The sex toy to do list has served me well in years past. In 2013 I hadn’t a clue what I was doing but it got me to know my toys better and last year I finished the year having checked off everything on the list. This year things look a little different. In 2014 I stopped accepting review toys I knew wouldn’t work for my body (because that’s not helpful for anyone), I came to know what my real preferences were (I always think I want all the dildos… then I only want a couple of the dildos) and realized I want to know more about giant wands! So, without further ado, here it is my 2015 sex toy (and other stuff) to-do list: 

 

 Vixen Creations Raquel

RAQUEL

So this is nothing new, I’ve suggested it many times and it’s already on my favorites list. I’ve gotten to try one out before but I have suspicions about how pairing this with my beloved wand vibes would go and I really just think I need to add it to my permanent rotation.

PalmPower Massager

87165-PALMPOWER-MASSAGER

I accepted this year that wands are kind of my jam. I have been super-impressed by the power of this little guy when I’ve held it in person and I’ve heard rave reviews. I’ve also heard bad reviews. I want to see for myself.

Kinklab Neon Wand

1-10-2012-11-7-neonwand

I have to admit it, I like zappy things. I think the things I have tried and enjoyed have actually been more intense than this but I’m being realistic about what I really need around the house.

 Bodi-Spa Almighty Hot-Cold Body Massager

Almighty_Hot_Cold_Body_Massager_7

Bodi-Spa first caught my eye at ANME in 2013 but then, frankly, I kind of forgot about them (sorry, guys!). Recently I mentioned my newfound mission to TRY ALL THE WANDS and someone on twitter mentioned this. Hot and cold and giant – oh my! 

This one has been discontinued. I actually didn’t get to try it until I found it on a half-price table in a Canadian sex shop. It started malfunctioning 2 weeks later. I understand why it’s gone now. 

 

Intimina Lily Cups

copa-menstrual-lilycup-intimina-talla-B-2

Okay, these aren’t toys at all. A long time sea-sponge girl, lately I’ve been considering- and struggling with- menstrual cups. They just seem to argue with my body. After reading Lorax’s epic menstrual cup post I am thinking these may be the ones that work with my anatomy,  I desperately want to try them. PS- These people are LELO.

We-Vibe Tango Pleasure Mate Collection

51TLGxJNp5L._SL1000_

I have long loved We-Vibe’s powerful clitoral vibes- for other people. While plenty powerful, they’ve just been too physically small for me to get much use out of. I want to try out this set and see if it rectifies that situation.

Jimmyjane Iconic Wand Waterproof Rechargeable Vibrator

ICONIC-WAND

Another stop in my tour of wands. Simple, sleek, cordless and waterproof – I’m interested.

Minna kGoal

kGoal_front_grande

The most recent offering from Minna Life (who just keeps making stuff that is, at least conceptually, cool) is a kegel exerciser that actually provides feedback taking away that constant nagging “am I doing this right?” thing.

L’amourose – Just All of it

B2zzXKnIAAAcMBU

 This company has knocked my socks off and has already made it onto my list of favorites. Whatever L’amourose is up to, you can bet I’m keeping an eye on it.

A Sex Swing 

601515bb64893216ef258020654ac405

This has made it onto the to-do list before, someone even offered me one in 2014 but the fact that I live in a small rented apartment got in the way.  I have decided though that 2015 is the year I try a sex swing. Now to find a friend with a sex swing…

So, what do you think folks? Did I miss anything? Is there anything on here I could skip? Let’s hear it!

    I loved the PalmPower but BMS Factory has a new one that’s yet to be release and it’s so much better. It’s called the Swan Wand and last I heard it was possibly going to be released around Valentine’s Day. I highly recommend it over the PalmPower. Here’s my review:

    This is the best to do list I’ve ever seen. I traditionally avoid making to-do lists at all because because they overwhelm me, but I think I might make one of my own. For my own use because I won’t want to steal content ideas.

    I usually hate vibration, I know I’m odd, but I’m curious about the Bodi-Spa Almighty Hot-Cold Body Massager. Lately, with all the reviews I’ve been reading I wonder if I just hate cheap buzzy vibes.

    I’ve always wanted to try a sex swing as well, I figure if it doesn’t lead to great sex it will at least lead to hilarity.

    We’ve definitely got some similar things on our lists! The neon wand is something I’ve been interested in for a while!
