My thoughts and musings about life as a sex toy reviewer

I hope that you enjoy this insight into my life and what I do. I love reviewing adult products and I will use this blog to keep everyone aware of what is coming up for review soon and also to pass on any thoughts or issues that I have. I love feedback so please use the comments sections of these posts to get in touch with me.

You can use the search function on the site if you are looking for something in particular.

After much searching, I have found my new home for the weekends.

Here is a short and sweet update about my live streams.

As many of you will know, my current workspace is an old converted barn in the Peak District in the UK. That means it roasts in the summer and freezes in the winter.

I have reached the point where I have run out of space there. When doing live streams, I have the added problem of being in the middle of nowhere. Even after investing in Starlink, my internet connection is "funky," to say the least, causing me all sorts of issues when I stream.

Due to the cramped conditions there, I also have to set up the studio every week and pack it all away again, as I need the space to create my range of electrodes and other kinky delicacies.

One end of my workshop is filled with 3D printers doing their bit to improve chances of hands-free orgasms all around the globe, and the other half is set up as an office space for the three of us here.

So, what's new and happening here at Chez Joanne?

Well, this week has seen me release two new electrodes. The first has already sold out, leaving me frantically ordering more materials. I wasn't expecting it to be so popular.

We have also ordered the final equipment to begin podcasting next week. It's a daunting thought, but so was live streaming, and at least with podcasting, our dodgy internet connection won't be an issue.

So watch out for our first-ever podcast next week (caveat: as long as we can get the kit working in time).

Let me introduce the first new product that I have added to my range of bespoke designs.

E-stim Live Stream Update

Joanne Summers May 12, 2024

We are doubling down on our commitment to our livestreams

Big things are happening in the very near future. As some of you may already know, we have started to do a Saturday e-stim livestream where we talk about all sorts of electrosex-related subjects.

Now, our internet is temperamental at the best of times, so we often lose connection during our live stream, and the feed drops. This, coupled with us running out of space here at Chez Joanne, has meant I am actively on the lookout for a new workshop closer to town.

Moving, while expensive, is going to give me better internet access and, more importantly, more space for my operation as I am getting busier and busier each month (which is a good thing).

Check out the latest electrodes from E-Stim Systems

Well, I am so excited to tell you all about the NEW ElectroRings System from E-Stim Systems, a UK company renowned for the quality of its electrodes.

I have been lucky enough to have reviewed most of their electrodes in the past, and they make the core of my electrode collection.

I visited their factory in Watford and was blown away by their manufacturing methods and levels of quality control on their electrode production line. I see how they can happily offer a lifetime warranty on their electrodes.

But I digress. This post is about their latest addition to their range of electrodes - The ElectroRings System.

I am looking to learn some new skills

So, I want to let you all in on a little secret. I am considering getting into the insertable electrode scene. By that, I mean body-safe silicone electrodes with metal electrode surfaces for excellent conductivity.

I am still in the planning phase, whether it is financially viable for me to get into producing low-volume but high-quality insertables. So far, I have made a name for myself due to my innovative 3D-printed electrode designs, and I am pretty good at what I do.

But here's the kicker: I've always wanted to make my insertables, but until recently, I had yet to decide what I wanted to make or how I could bring this dream to life.

Why would I want to make silicone insertable electrodes when the market already has lots to choose from?

Tackling the great cord lock problem once and for all

I'm proud to announce two new products this week (after a very long development period).

As a self-taught user of Fusion360, it takes me way longer to design products than someone would take if formally trained. But eventually, I do get there.

These two designs have been tweaked over a couple of months, and each product aims to remove a problem some people face when playing.

It has been a lovely process designing them and putting in the skills I have learned over time, and they look great and perform well, which is the most essential part.

I now have a free electron server for you to use

My own electron server is freely available for my friends and the general e-stim community at large. I am hosting it myself at my expense on one of my servers.

This instance of Electron is run and hosted by me. I am running it as a way of providing a service to the community that has been so good to me over the years.

So what is Electron?

Important information to consider if you modify your electrodes

I often use self-adhesive monopole pad electrodes when I stim; for me, it gives me a quick and easy way to wire myself up using external electrodes.

I know many penis owners also use them due to their flexibility and ability to be placed precisely where needed.

While self-adhesive monopole electrodes are available in many shapes and sizes, people often choose to trim the ones they have down to a smaller size to increase the perceived intensity levels.

It is a quick and easy way to get a perceived power increase from your control box.

While that is a simple, quick and easy option, it does come with some things that you need to be aware of, hence this wordy post that hopefully gets the message across.

There is nothing wrong with trimming down monopole pad-style electrodes as long as you are careful, and this is where I will highlight a couple of things.

But first, let me tell you about two incidents that I was made aware of from two experienced stimmers who were using pads and had some problems with their use.

Come and watch me implode live on the internet LOL

Well, it's time to grab the bull by the horns and get my live streams off the ground - finally.

I have been talking about it for ages and planning things while secretly being terrified of actually doing live streams, so please be gentle with me. Yes, I am usually a confident woman, but put me in front of a camera and watch me become a tongue-tied bundle of self-consciousness.

First E-Stim Livestream - Wed 24th May at 5pm (UK time) on my Youtube channel.
