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!

Bend Over Beginner Harness Kit

While the recession seems to be coming to an end, lots of people are still looking for a good bargain, so I thought I would highlight some of my favorite strap-on kits available. While you can obviously buy a separate harness and dildo, you can save a little money by picking up one of these high quality kits.

The Bend Over Beginner Harness Kit from Tantus is great for those of you who are new to strap-on play and unsure where to start. My favorite thing about it is that you get two medical grade silicone cocks to grow with!

The kit features a velvet harness which is comfortable, adjustable (fits up to 60 inch hips), and machine washable. It also comes with an O-ring that can be changed for play with larger dildos as well as a pocket built in that fits a bullet vibe (included). The pocket holds the vibrator in place and allows access to the controls throughout your strap-on experience.

The Bend Over Beginner Kit has two smooth 100% silicone dildos, 7/8 x 4-1/2 and 1-1/4 x 5-1/2 so you can pace your exploration with comfort and safety.

Another great kit is the Bikini Harness and Silicone Dildo Set from Sportsheets. It’s really great for women who want to wield a cock like a bad ass femme fatale because the cut is totally cute.

If you’re looking for a comfortable harness and an quality cock, you need to take a look at the Sportsheets’ Bikini Harness and Dildo Set. The adjustable black harness is built for comfort and accomodates up to a 52 inch waist. Also included is a body safe fuchsia silicone dildo that is non-porous and phthalate-free.

The dong is five inches long, with a 1.25 inch diameter and 4 inch circumference. The harness can be used with any dildo that has a diameter of 1.25 inches.

Of course, there are a ton of other great strap-on kits out there, but these are two I think are fantastic because they are well made and both come with phthalate-free silicone cocks that are sure to last a very long time.
