Pretty lights; sweet, crispy deep-fried dough; the rush of adrenaline as you narrowly escape with your life — there’s just something magical about carnivals. So, to celebrate 11 years of sex toy blogging, I decided to throw a DILDO CARNIVAL! Where instead of winning a lousy stuffed animal you didn’t really want anyway, you can win a fancy sex toy of your choice.
[All graphics by the amazing Aerie.]
In this carnival, I’m giving away the best sex toys on earth — as judged by my discerning genitals. I’ve got everything from vibrators to dildos to butt stuff to penis toys to harnesses to gender products, plus gift cards for the indecisive and a porn membership for the pervs! There are even a bunch of “winner’s choice” prizes, where you can win any sex toy you desire from the catalogs of Womanizer, Vixen Creations, New York Toy Collective, and Split Peaches. [Skip straight to the giveaway widget here.]
As always, classic favorites such as the Eroscillator, Pure Wand, and Mona 2 are up for grabs, but there’s also new stuff this year, such as the Fun Factory Stronic G, Tenga Iroha+, Je Joue Rabbit Bullet, Toyfriend Snazzy, Fun Factory Volta, and SenseVibe. Most of these prizes are valued at or over $100, because I have expensive taste and you deserve good shit. Plus, a majority of the prizes are available to international folks!
🎪 Mini giveaway attractions! 🎪
What would a carnival be without attractions? This year, in addition to the giveaway widget below, I’ll be running an array of mini giveaways on social media! These attractions will be unveiled and updated here as the giveaway goes on. Stay in-the-know with this handy Google Calendar listing all the attractions, and/or follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
More details: all mini giveaways are open internationally. You may enter the same mini giveaway on multiple social networks to increase your chances. Folks who win mini giveaways will still be eligible to win another sex toy via the widget.

 The Fun Factory Stronic G, donated by Fun Factory.
The Stronic G does not vibrate; it THRUSTS. And the G-spot stimulation from its hooked shape is immense. I often crave it specifically — a sure sign of excellence in my household. The LELO Mona 2, donated by LELO. I never tire of giving away Monas. This unstoppable vibrator is well-rounded as fuck, with a vibration range that could suit almost anyone. It’s so good I own three of them.
Not seeing the toy of your dreams on this list? Snag a gift card to this progressive, feminist sex shop and you can choose whatever you want from their lovingly-curated selection.
Easily one of the most innovative sex toys of the past several years, the Womanizer stimulates with air and suction rather than vibration. It is peculiar and, I must say, quite pleasurable. The njoy Pure Plug in your choice of size, donated by njoy. One time I joked about the stainless steel Pure Plug staying with me after I die, placed in a nook next to my urn. I do not regret this. This butt plug is perfection incarnate. Winner will be responsible for any customs/duties fees.
Tenga’s Iroha+ line offers something most other rechargeable vibes do not: SQUISH. They’re also freaking adorable and have excellent vibrations. Choose from Kushi, Tori, or Yoru. The Zumio S, donated by Zumio. Two of them! A super pinpoint rechargeable vibrator that impressed me greatly with its unique stimulation. The S version features a larger, softer tip and lower levels of intensity. The Spareparts Hardwear Joque harness, donated by Dallas Novelty. So comfortable, so adjustable, so perfect. This harness, my favorite of all time, makes strap-on sex worth having.
The Crystal Delights Epiphora-Exclusive dildo of your choice, donated by Crystal Delights. Fact: Crystal Delights makes both of my favorite glass dildos: the swirly Crystal Twist and bumpy Star Delight. Win this prize and you can have whichever one you’d like, with special Epiphora-colored Swarovski crystal base. The We-Vibe Pleasure Mate Collection, donated by We-Vibe. My world changed when I discovered hands-free orgasms thanks to two toys in this collection — the Dusk “butt plug” and Tango vibrator combined. The LELO Loki, donated by LELO. It’s the BUTT MONA! For your butt! With a flared base! Because you should put vibrating things in your butt! Also, that blue. The Crystal Delights Minx Tail of your choice, donated by Crystal Delights. A glorious glass butt plug with a tail attached, just for you! Which will it be — a pony tail, a bunny tail, or a fluffy fur tail? A Fleshlight of your choice, donated by Dallas Novelty. The years go by, and the Fleshlight remains the gold standard for my most treasured penis owner (my boyfriend). With this prize, you have your pick of the litter. A year membership to Crash Pad Series, donated by Pink & White. Yeah. I’m jealous of this prize. Crash Pad Series is full of sizzling hot queer porn and they have sorting options up the wazoo — so if you want to see a scene starring Chelsea Poe (swoon) or featuring strap-ons, you can do that in 2 seconds flat.
The We-Vibe Pivot, donated by We-Vibe. If there’s anyone I trust to make a quality luxury cock ring, it’s We-Vibe. The vibrations in this thing are amazingly rumbly — and you can control the toy with an app! The We-Vibe Touch, donated by We-Vibe. This petite rechargeable vibe is small enough to nestle in the palm, but equipped with enough oomph to satisfy. That’s a hard combo to find!
Honestly, in a world where Crystal Delights butt plugs exist, I’m annoyed when any glass plug doesn’t have a Swarovski crystal in its base. With this prize, choose the plug shape and crystal color of your wildest dreams! The Split Peaches toy of your choice, donated by Split Peaches. Three words: rainbow unicorn dildos. YEAH. Split Peaches makes a variety of fun shapes cast in vibrant 100% silicone. This prize grants you the choice between any of their designs. Winner CANNOT live in Alabama, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, India, the Middle East, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Maldives, UAE, Vietnam, or Malaysia.
The We-Vibe Ditto, donated by We-Vibe. Want to give someone a jolt of vibration in their ass from anywhere on earth? You can do that (and many other things) with this app-responsive butt plug. |
The njoy Pure Wand, donated by njoy. Oh, only the toy that has taught millions1 of vaginas to squirt. Just one of the greatest G-spotting dildos of all time. Your G-spot will sing like a choir of angels. Whatever. Winner will be responsible for any customs/duties fees.
Look past its fugly exterior to the toy within — this toy oscillates, and it feels different and deeper than a traditional vibrator. Plus it has stood the test of time, holding up as one of the greatest clitoral stimulators I’ve ever tried.
One of my favorite things to put on my clit, the SenseVibe features two motors which chug along in tandem, creating profoundly satisfying vibrations. Choose between the heated or non-heated version. The Tenga Flip Zero EV of your choice, donated by Tenga. Known as makers as some of the best masturbation sleeves around, Tenga recently upgraded their Flip Zero sleeve by adding VIBRATIONS! That’s right; this puppy is rechargeable. Put yer dick in it. The (sparkle!) Doxy Die Cast, donated by Doxy. LOOK. IT IS SPARKLY LIKE DOROTHY’S SLIPPERS. It comes in red, purple, black, and white sparkle! Do I really have to say more? Fine, it’s a very good wand vibrator too. Open to winners in North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
Small but very mighty, the We-Vibe Tango will rattle your clit into oblivion. Subtlety will not be involved. This is a bullet vibrator for the record books.
A $125 gift card to Peepshow Toys! Have your eye on a toy that’s not on this list? Pick out whatever you’d like with this gift card! I love Peepshow’s commitment to body-safe products, and they stock a lot of my favorite things.
The LELO Sona, donated by LELO. The Sona is a clit-enveloping sex toy that uses sonic waves — not vibration — to stimulate. Oooh, ahhh. The We-Vibe Rave, donated by Lovehoney. Intriguingly asymmetrical in its shape, the Rave is a wonderful external or internal toy, and it can be controlled with a phone app. From anywhere, yo. A VixSkin dildo of your choice, donated by Vixen Creations. Ooh, friend, if you haven’t experienced VixSkin dual-density silicone yet, you must. It will spoil you for life. Choose from any of Vixen’s amazing designs — my faves are the Buck, Mustang, and Maverick — available internationally in this giveaway for the first time! The Je Joue Ami and Rabbit Bullet, donated by Je Joue. This little dual-eared toy impressed my notoriously picky clit with its fluttery vibrations. But wait, there’s more! This prize also includes a set of high-quality kegel balls. The LELO Siri 2, donated by LELO. With its surprisingly powerful motor, LELO’s egg-shaped Siri is definitely a contender for best rechargeable clitoral vibe on the market. I also appreciate its thought-out controls. The Hot Octopuss Pulse III Duo, donated by Hot Octopuss. The Pulse is one of the most unique penis toys on the market. It can be used while hard or flaccid, with or without a partner, and this version even comes with a remote control.
The Spareparts Hardwear Tomboi or Tomboii, donated by Dallas Novelty. Wanna fuck, but still wanna look like the cutest queer on the block? Boom: the Tomboi and Tomboii underwear-style harnesses, where comfort and efficiency go hand in hand. The njoy Eleven, donated by njoy. It weighs three pounds. You can kill intruders with it. You can also stuff your orifices to the brim with it, if you dare — this stainless steel beast is 2″ in diameter at its widest. Winner will be responsible for any customs/duties fees. A $125 credit to the gender expression category at Early to Bed! Get a cool hundred-and-twenty-five to spend in Early to Bed’s impressive gender expression category, which includes packers, binders, sleeves, DVDs, harnesses, STPs, and more! The LELO Hugo, donated by LELO. This prostate toy is freakishly powerful and controlled via remote, so you can buzz your prostate into oblivion from afar (or near). The Neon Wand, donated by Stockroom. I didn’t think electrostim was my thing, and then I tried the Neon Wand. The adjustable intensity dial and array of electrode attachments make this a versatile sensation toy. Zap zap! |

The BJ Dildo, donated by Number One Laboratory. Y’all, this is a very important product. If you snuggle the base against someone’s body and suck on the tip, the suction transfers to the wearer’s genitals! The New York Toy Collective toy of your choice, donated by New York Toy Collective. Silicone realistic dildos with bendable inner cores? That you can pack and play with? Yes, it’s true, and the cushion of these dildos makes them awesome for strap-on play. The Butt Pack (Bootie + B Ball Uno + Flexi Felix), donated by Fun Factory. Why settle for one anal toy when you can win THREE? With the perfectly-curved Bootie plug, the jiggle-ball-containing B Ball Uno, and Flexi Felix anal beads, this set is a great introduction to anal play. The Jopen Key Comet II Wand, donated by Good Vibrations. This silicone-dipped vibrator is disgustingly good at G-spotting. The drag of the silicone is amazing at replicating the “come hither” motion that G-spots love. Open to winners in the US and Canada. The Liberator Throe, donated by Liberator. The most water-resistant sex blanket available today. You, too, can experience the peace of mind that comes with having a Throe under your butt. Open to winners in the continental US. The Tiger G5, donated by Fun Factory. Powerful, flexible, and intuitive, the Tiger G5 is a triumph of modern vibrator-making. It’s also adorned with subtle ridges for added stimulation. |
The Babeland Mustang, donated by Babeland. Made of unbeatable dual-density silicone, the Mustang is a perfectly-shaped dildo that never disappoints. This is Babeland’s exclusive version in striking black and pink! Open to winners in the US and Canada. The Volta, donated by Fun Factory. With delicious vibrations channeled through flickering tips, the Volta is an oddly-shaped vibrator that actually works. If you’re into pinpoint simulation, this is a must have. The Liberator Wedge, donated by Liberator. Sex positions become infinitely better — and oh my god, easier — when you have a Wedge lying around. Truly, one of the unsung heroes of my repertoire. Open to winners in the continental US.
Bless this wonderful vulva-shaped vibrator. The Snazzy is made with buttery-smooth silicone, and its range of rumbly vibration intensities make me love it even more. Open to winners in North America. A $125 prize package from Blush. Cherry-pick exactly which toys you want most from Blush’s selection of vibrators, dildos, butt plugs and beyond. Their Avant line in particular has some very adorable toys in it. Open to winners in the US and Canada. 18+ with age verification required. The Aslan Jaguar harness, donated by Pleasure Chest. This legendary harness is generally (and rightfully) regarded as one of the best. Made with soft leather and sexy as fuck, the Jaguar excels both functionally and aesthetically. |
