HONI Mini Vibe from Picobong


Picobong are a new brand of sex toy brought to you by the designer brand Lelo. They offer stylishly designed sex toys at affordable prices, but which have an element of fun and appeal to the younger market - I certainly feel that they've achieved this. I was recently very lucky to receive the HONI Mini Vibe in blue free of charge, in return for an honest review.

HONI Mini Vibe (boxed)
The vibe comes in a stylish box which is relatively small so there's not much waste packaging. I love the contrast of the blue and black colouring on the box as it looked very appealing, yet smart and modern too. The clear front allows you to see the vibe and a dice too (that had me pretty curious!). Each Honi Mini Vibe is available in Cerise, Blue or Black and the boxes correspond to the chosen vibe colour.

Inside the box
Opening the box was really easy and theres a black cardboard insert which simply pulls out with the vibe and dice attached. Tucked neatly behind are a user manual, a 1 year warranty and a handy do's and don'ts leaflet. To detach the vibe from the cardboard insert, unscrew the end and hey presto!

With end unscrewed for battery insertion
As you can see from the pic above, the single AAA battery (not included) easily fits into the end of the vibe and then you're pretty much ready to go.

Very clever on/off switch
I absolutely love the innovative idea of where the on and off buttons are placed - as shown in the pic above, the '+' in the centre of the 'b' turns on, whilst the '-' in the centre of the 'p' decreases the vibration and penultimately turns the vibe off. Continually pressing the '+' button will allow the vibe to advance through the speeds and once the highest level of intensity is reached (after 18 clicks), you can actually change modes by holding down the '+' button for 2-3 seconds. This will vary the rhythm of vibrations giving you exactly what you need, when you need it.

Due to the design and smoothness of this vibe I didn't find the need for any lube, although if you do need to use some, make sure it's water based.

It's a good idea to have a little play with your new toy first, flicking between modes to see which one excites you, as once the toy is inserted, you'll need to fully remove it again to change the vibration (this can be a little tricky, especially once the juices have been flowing as it becomes quite slippery).

This claims to be quiet and discreet - and that's exactly what it is! There's a very gently humming noise, although you do have to strain your ears a little to hear it - perfect for some private fun, even whilst in the company of others!! The HONI is by far the most silent vibe i've tried so far.

Once inserted, the HONI's unique pleasure points burst into action stimulating those hard to reach pleasure zones. From a gentle tickle to good stong pulsating vibrations, this vibe is sure to satisfy your sexual urges. I even managed to walk around with the HONI still inserted which was alot more comfortable than I expected - and best of all, nobody knew my little secret ;) Once you're done, simply give the handy string a gentle pull and you're sorted. Clean with antibacterial wash, but make sure you get in all the grooves between the lettering. Fresh batteries should give around 2 hours of constant use - not that you'll need that long!

The dice that came with the vibe has pictures of each of the Picobong vibes in the range on it. There is no explanation either with the vibe, or on the website as to it's purpose, however my theory is that when you roll the dice, whatever it lands on is the next toy you should purchase, or better still, get someone else to buy it for you.

All in all this is a fantastic little vibe which is fun and quirky, yet with an elegant designer touch. The compact size means it can travel with you anywhere, and the 'no noise' factor means it can be used anytime and wherever the fancy takes you. The HONI is also fully waterproof and is phthalate free, as are all other Picobong toys.

The HONI Mini Vibe is available from Picobong at a cost of £26.95 and is available in blue, cerise or black. There are 5 other products available too, so why not have a nosey and see what takes your fancy - you know you want to!

Madam by Becky Adams


I noticed that Becky Adams was asking for bloggers to review her new book on twitter so wasted no time in expressing my interest. A few tweets later and I was sent a digital copy of the fabulous new book 'Madam' ....I couldn't wait to get started!

I've always been interested in the sex industry and how things work, but it's very rare being able to hear it all from the horses' mouth so to speak.
When prostitution or brothels are mentioned in todays society, most people generally assume the girls involved are drug induced and living in poverty or fear, although this isn't always the case as outlined in Becky Adams new biography 'Madam'.

The book begins by giving a little backround info about Becky's childhood and the difficult relationship she shared with her mother before moving on to becoming owner of a topless carwash, brothel Madam and sex toy seller. She really has seen and done it all!

Who'd have thought that by simply keeping an eye on a good friend and making sure they were safe, could lead to a life of brothels, puppets, dildos and dongs?? Sounds bizzarre, but that's exactly how it all happened for Becky Adams.

Starting out by dropping her good friend off for jobs to ensure her safety, things quickly progressed for Becky until she was actually arranging jobs herself, and before long, needed to find more girls and somewhere to work from! Madam Beckys Massage Parlour was to be the answer to it all.
Although faced with problems every step of the way, Becky proceeded to defy all the odds and become one of the most successful and well respected Madams on the circuit, even appearing on the Trisha show and This Morning as well as 'Person Services', a docu-soap which ran on ITV in 2003.

'Madam' seriously opened my eyes, and I thought I knew it all! Who'd have thought that hand puppets could bring so much satisfaction to a person ...especially a puppet like Spanky the monkey (you'll have to read the book to find out more). One particular incident had the tears streaming down my face and all I'm gonna say is 'Pat-O-Gram' - again, if you want to know more, get the book!! People come from all walks of life, and they never cease to amaze...what shocks one is sure to excite another, and there's certainly no shortage of strange and amazing people in Madam.
Although business was booming, things weren't quite so great for Becky herself. The daily battle with not only the irate neighbours, police and authorities, but also her own girls and her competitors, soon began to take its toll.
Most people assume that running a brothel would be an easy job, but after reading 'Madam', I see that that is far from the truth. There is so much more involved than just taking calls from wanting men and arranging a lady to satisfy them. Everyone out there seems to become the enemy, all wishing to see you fail and putting obstacles at every given opportunity. It takes a really strong person to overcome all those obstacles and I have the utmost admiration for Becky Adams and what she has achieved. She is living proof that alot of madams and prostitutes are in fact highly respectable women, many who work to fulfil their own fantaies as well as earn a few quid.

After 20 years in the business, Becky Adams gives a very honest and entertaining account of her life which brought a few shocked gasps, some schoolgirl giggles, hysterical laughter and a little sadness too. I'm sure that after reading Madam, many will change their opinion of sex workers and those who fight daily to ensure their safety. Well done Becky and thankyou for giving me the opportunity to review this for you, it's been an absolute pleasure and I wish you every success in the future.

'Madam' by Becky Adams is available to buy from madambeckyadams.co.uk and also from  Waterstones at a cost of £9.99.
She will also be doing book signings at the following:
The Old Queens Head, Islington on February 7th between from 8pm till 10pm
The Greene Room, Milton Keynes on February 10th from 8pm till 1.30am
Waterstones, Milton Keynes on February 12th from 12pm till 3pm
