This is it.  The final post for 2009 makes us think of all the great things that happened this year.  We thought we’d take a moment and review the big things that happened, and take a quick look to the future.

The We Vibe

2009 started with a bang in the industry.  In fact, it was a big bang with a new product that captured everyone’s imagination.  The little We Vibe is a revolutionary product that stimulates the clitoris and G-spot simultaneously, even during intercourse!  Don’t worry, we still have them, so if you missed out the first time, you can get one now!

Shortly after the We Vibe’s big splash, a less internationally noticeable event happened, but it was big for us.  On January 15th, we started publishing the Sex Toys Blog!  Shortly after that, we launched our “All over the Internet” campaign, and we’ve been going strong since.

Of course, regular readers will remember Ginger Leigh’s Fabulous Shopping Spree, especially our friend Gwen at Pop Shot, who walked away with 1,000 bucks worth of toys!

And we’ve had a great time getting to know many of you on Twitter and our other social platforms.

Cupid Loves Fun Factory

2010 is looking even better!  For those of you who have been asking, Sextoys.com will now let you cash in with your own interactive toy store this year.  If you own a blog or a website, you can make money selling sex toys.  Toysales.com will launch on January 7th, 2010, coinciding with the launch of the 2010 Adult Entertainment Expo in Las vegas.  Stop by our booth if you’re in Vegas for the show and say hello!

Oh yeah, we should mention the giveaways will be fast and furious in 2010, beginning with our countdown to Valentine’s Day with Cupid’s Fun Factory giveaways!  That contest will also start on January 7th, and is sponsored by our friends at Fun Factory, so you know the loot will be top notch! 

Finally, we want to wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2010!  Thanks for following us, and we look forward to seeing you next year.

It’s hard to really excite a girl who works in the sex toy industry. I mean, I love this stuff as much as anyone, but there are only so many ways one can customize a silver bullet or traditional dong. Nothing makes one more aware of this fact that reviewing toys for years and years – not that I’m complaining! I’m just trying to help you to understand my insane excitement about this new addition to the site – an Ice Massager!

This exciting new vibe is perfect for those of you who love temperature play like me. Plus it’s made out of medical grade silicone and the bullet is replaceable, so it’s body safe and totally built to last.

Ever felt so damn hot you needed to cool down? Then you’ll love this; the worlds first vibrating ice massager.

Seduce your partner with this diamond of ice and have them melt into lust. Tease, caress and enjoy!

The Touch Ice Massager is an innovative new concept. Its refreshing effect will turn your world upside down, but won’t cool down your love life. It adds chills and tingles just where you want them.

The user-friendly grip, made of the best medical-grade silicone, makes it easy to use in every position – wherever you are. Because the vibrating bullet is replaceable, it’ll bring passion for years to come. Enjoy the Touch Ice Massager both ways; One, its thrilling, icy touch and two, the unique silicone sensation you’ve never experienced before.

I can only speak for myself, of course, but this new toy is definitely at the top of my wish list for 2010!

The team at Sextoys.com wishes all of you a safe, fun and happy holiday!  Enjoy the time with friends and family, and we’ll see you next week!

This year is wrapping up quickly and I wanted to highlight my favorite products of 2009. Here’s a list of toys that have rocked my world, porn that I watch over and over again and things I really think every one should own!

1. We Vibe – This little guy took the industry by storm this year with good reason. This is amazing silicone vibe is is designed to stimulate a woman’s clit and g-spot while she’s being penetrated! I can’t even begin to express how fantastic this is. It’s phthalate-free, rechargeable and a toy I find myself reaching for all the time. I wish every woman would wake up on January 1st to find one of these on her dresser. 2010 would be one hell of a year!

2. Scrubs: A XXX Parody – There were so many hilarious spoofs released this year, but my favorite was Scrubs. It is totally hilarious and James Deen is so freaking hot that I find myself watching scenes over and over again.

3. Pink Water – You know I love lube, and this year I had a chance to check out a few from Empowered Products. They definitely do lube right. I find myself using Pink Water all the time, mostly because I have a ton of silicone toys that aren’t compatible with silicone lube. I’ve liked all of them though, so be sure to check out Empowered if you’re looking for a quality lubricant.

4. Ella – This is the dildo of they year, in my opinion. It’s amazing for g-spot stimulation and totally affordable compared to a lot of pure silicone toys. If you’re looking for an amazing g-spot wand, you should definitely consider this new Lelo release.

So there you have it. Those are the things that kept things hot and heavy in the bedroom this year. Let me know if you think there is something you think will rock my world in 2010!

Happy New Year!

As we get close to the end of the year, we were thinking about the coolest toys we’d experienced this year.  We decided to do a list of them and share it with you.  These are the top 3 toys we fell in love with this year:

1. Running away with our top choice, bar none, no competition, the “uber-ultra-super-best” toy of the year by far, was April Flores’ Voluptuous Cyberskin Pussy.  Here’s a small sampling of our expert’s review:

“Guys, you can go ahead and read this to get the details, but you’re going to want this toy.  Seriously.  My time with this toy hit a 9.8 on the get-off-o-meter, only because I deducted .2 points for it not actually being April Flores.  This toy is simply awesome.”

And this:

“The toy is substantial and even has her ultra sexy curves for the realistic effect.  If you’re a guy who likes the curvy woman, you’ll love this toy.  Topco Sales and Wildfire made this one feel completely realistic.  Oh, and if you really like your women curvy, you’ll love the little jiggle this gives when you move it around.”

Gotta have it

And the conclusion:

“I’ll spare you all of the sordid details, but you should know that this toy and I have started a beautiful friendship.  And I have a new crush on April Flores.  The best of both worlds, watch and play, that’s what April and her toy provide!”

You absolutely have to try the April Flores Voluptuous Cybersin Pussy to believe how good it feels.

2. Coming in second, still making a strong showing in our opinion polls, was Tantus’ Alumina Flow.

Alumina Flow

“Tantus Alumina is made of 100% aeronautic grade aluminum and designed to play anatomically with your body’s pleasure zones. Aluminum is a lighter metal than stainless steel, it doesn’t feel so heavy.

Each toy is anodized which not only adds to the beauty, but increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust. It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth’s solid surface. It is recyclable and safe.

Tantus Inc. uses only the highest quality materials in the manufacture of their sex toys. These sex toys are an excellent choice for consumers who suffer from allergies, or sensitivity to chemicals. Whether it is medical grade silicone or quality controlled, body safe and treated aluminum, you can be sure that the use of a Tantus sex toy is safe and healthy.”

Some readers may remember our interview with Tantus CEO Metis Black.  She made a tantalizing suggestion:

“Sextoys – Tantus recently introduced the Alumina line of aluminum toys.  Do you plan to work with other materials as well in the near future?

Metis Black – Oh yes and they will all be safe and healthy for the body. But first we’re working on making the Alumina line vibrate.”

We can’t wait!

3. And our final selection was released a little before 2009, but we got it in this year, and we wanted to show a little love to one of the highest quality fetish wear companies in the world, Axovus.  Their Bolts and Spikes Gauntlet is absolutely HOT!

“Now this is how you make a statement!

This gauntlet just SCREAMS METAL!

Spiked with 59 – 1/2 inch nickle plated brass tree spikes and stainless steel nuts and screws. These leather gauntlets are laced for maximum adjustability.

Another great Fetish accessory by Axovus.

Main piece is 8 high; and fits approx. 6 to 11 wrist. And approx. 8 to 14 forearm. Priced per gauntlet.”

So sexy and hot

We had a great 2009, and hope that you’ll check out these sex toys and our complete selection of great products still in inventory before the new stock comes in for 2010!
