Eden Fantasys Review and GIVEAWAY

Just a note before we start: Eden Fantasys allowed me to choose something from their site to review in exchange for writing this post, and yes, it is the type of site that the word "fantasy" probably makes you think of.  There's my disclosure and your warning.

Sometimes, all you have to do is ask. You never know who is listening/reading and who will say "Sure, why not?"

A few weeks ago, I posted this little blurb on a random thoughts post:

I've seen SO many "adult" toy reviews and giveaways lately. Maybe it's the universe telling me to stop being so repressed and go get a toy. I'll know that is what it's trying to tell me if I actually win one of those giveaways.


Just hours later, I was contacted by Eden Fantasys about the possibility of doing a review and giveaway.

I blushed at my computer screen, but figured, WHY NOT?

Never shopped at any of those types of sites. And my only experience with visiting an actual shop was when I went into one with Hubs YEARS ago, looking for a bachelor party gift for one of his friends. The whole time, I kept thinking "Oh, please, don't let any of the parents of the students I teach see me."

A website, though, is a lot less embarrassing. Eden Fantasys has a variety of products from bubble bath to candles to sex toys and lingerie.

I almost took the chicken's way out and ordered something like bubble bath.

But, then I thought: why not take advantage of this opportunity? It's all in the interest of a review, that's all. Really.

Being a first-timer, I looked for phrases like this: great first toy for beginners.

I'd also heard that a bath toy is sort of the easiest introduction to this sort of thing.

So, I found this guy:

The Baby Bug. I call him "Wormy."

That settled, my next concern was what exactly the return address was going to say and if you could tell what it was just by looking at the package.

Not that I care what the mailmen think.

But, I don't pick up my mail from the post office. Most days, my MOTHER-IN-LAW does. To be helpful, so I don't have to go to the post office every day.

There are some things that she just never needs to know.

But, I was safe:

Wormy is a cute little thing. Even though I started thinking that he was staring at me, taunting me. Maybe even smirking.

But, we made friends. *Blushes*

A very non-intimidating toy to start out with if you are like I was and never owned anything like this before. This is what I told my BFF about it(yes, we talk about everything, even this): "I'm relaxed, but not fully...um...satisfied? I'd go for a 'big girl' toy next time, though Wormy was a safe first choice."

Okay, I should probably stop here. I mean, I know I pretty much spill everything on this blog, but I think you get the picture.

By the way, Wormy is now locked up in my bathroom cabinet. He looks way too much like a regular bath toy to risk leaving him out and about.

Now, you have a chance to win a $25 gift card to Eden Fantasys.
