Have you girls discovered Pure Romance yet? If not, go check out their website right now! (Don’t worry, if you click on it, it’ll open up in a separate window). They’re the fastest growing woman-to-woman direct sellers of ‘intimacy aids’ in the country and that’s easy to understand if you visit their online store. I LOVE how their look and feel is ‘pretty in pink’ and not tacky or gross in the least. In fact, it’s a lot like visiting an Avon store… provided their line up included cutsey vibrators, naughty school girl outfits and creamy dessert-flavoured lubricant…
Last week Pure Romance spoiled me with fab hamper of their goodies.

It included items from their make-up line which I’ll chat about in another post as well as Spicy Dice, a Burning Desire soy massage oil candle and mini Night’s of Passion Kit.

The soy massage candle (R225) is made from 100% natural soya bean oil.

Soy wax is ideal for this type of thing as it’s got a lower melting point than other types of wax so it won’t burn your skin. I wish to God I’d known this a few years back when we were having all those black outs and Cosmo asked me to whip up a story on how to have sex in the dark. My ‘research’ involved pouring regular candle wax on my arm so as to establish the best (i.e. least painful) height from which to drip it. Regardless of how high I held that bloody candle it still hurt like hell so, in the end, I just gave up and made up some random measurement. To this day I still feel guilt about it as well as responsible for a generation of Cosmo girls who’ve wound up at emergency chemists riddled in third degree burns…

Anyway, lets take a peek inside the kit (R280), shall we?

It includes an Island Breeze-scented bubble bath that reminds me of a Yankee candle I used to own (Bahama Breeze – delish!) as well as a Seductive Sage massage oil. The latter’s scent is pretty unisex so, should you use it on your man, he’s not going to bitch about being made to smell like a meringue. There’s also a strawberry-scented warming lubricant and unscented regular lube as well as a strawberry flavoured arousal cream. The latter makes use of a ‘mint base’ that helps stimulate blood flow to your naughty bits and, for the record, tastes surprisingly good!

Another great-tasting winner? Pure Romance’s Whipped edible creamy lubricant, R160. I was given the Chocolate Cheesecake flavour and its well and truly delish. It also really does taste like ‘chocolate cheesecake’ as opposed  to synthetic crap with a dash o’ cocoa powder. Interestingly, I can’t find this anywhere so I can’t snap a pic of it. The last time I saw it was when it first arrived. I placed it next to the lap top  and consumed waaay too much of it while working on an incredibly boring freelance story. I haven’t seen it since and have turned my whole flat upside down looking for it. Now, there’s a suspicious part of me wondering if my ex-domestic possibly has the best tasting vagina in Khayalitsha… still, I’m sure it’ll turn up somewhere… right?

Anyway, what I’m trying to tell you is this; if you’re looking for a sensual little something, be it for yourself or a friend’s bachelorette bash, Pure Romance is the shizz. Seriously. Their stuff is good quality, pretty to look at and not ridiculously overpriced. Also, shopping on their pretty pink website isn’t going to make you feel like a dirty old ho. Their range is fabulous too; from something as innocuous as a Pulsa vibrating bath ball (R160)…

…to a full on Frequent Flyer sex swing (R830)!

Love, love
