The Hot Octopuss Pulse II is billed as the world's first "guybrator", and it claims to be fun to use flaccid or erect. I have to admit that I was exceedingly sceptical when I first heard about this product, but my trusted male reviewer helped me realise that this could be a very fun purchase for some guys.

Ever bought a multi-mode vibrator and wondered how the manufacturer settled on those particular patterns? (No? I guess I'm the only sex toy nerd around here then).

The G-spot evokes confusion for a lot of people. Does it exist? How do you get to it? The Njoy Pure Wand is a beautiful, no-nonsense toy that will help you find and stimulate your G-spot with ease, and have some jaw-dropping orgasms to boot.

We're kicking off our new Lifehacker After Hours Sex Toy Review series with the Minna Life Limon, my hands-down favourite sex toy. I'm so enamoured with this product that I wind up sounding borderline fanatical whenever I recommend it to one of my clients.

Something I didn't realise when I decided to grow a beard was the horrendous effect this would have on my bathroom. When you clip your beard with a trimmer, stubble ends up everywhere. It's as if someone took a cheese grater to a Yeti.

Phone companies love to boast about how broad their coverage is. We put those claims to the test by measuring mobile broadband performance for Optus, Telstra and Vodafone on a cross-country train trip between Melbourne and Adelaide.

Suzie Price is an Australian psychic and self-described "ghost whisperer" who purports to be able to communicate with the dead. Last week, we arranged for Suzie to conduct a face-to-face psychic reading with three Lifehacker staff: an ultra-sceptic, a fence-sitter and a true believer. The results were not what we were expecting...

I used to be one of those people who swanned into airports with a single bag and cast a judgemental glare at the people grappling enormo-luggage. Now I'm roaming around the US with a 75cm suitcase and worrying about whether I'll be over the weight limit. Welcome to life on four suitcase wheels.

Last week, I took part in my own personal Chilli Challenge which involved eating whole red peppers and testing different cooling remedies; from milk to hot water. Was milk the winner? How bad were the stomach cramps? Has my rectum recovered? All these questions and more are answered below.

It's a familiar scenario: you're in the office and craving potentially unhealthy food from a takeaway joint, but the nearest branch is too far away to get to during the lunch hour and it isn't a fancy enough place to offer delivery. Fortunately, there is a way to get around this.

Last month, Google unveiled the Chromecast: a $US35 HDMI stick that can stream content directly to your TV, and it sold out nearly immediately due to the low price. We haven't been given a release date for the Chromecast in Australia yet, but in its current form it seems clear that despite its promise it will need some tweaking to beat rivals such as Apple TV or Roku.

Today's offer of free breakfast at McDonald's was a free hash brown. To see just how much you can get from the deal, I visited six Melbourne CBD McDonald's over the course of an hour, tried to score a free hash brown at each one, and tested the speed of the free Wi-Fi as well. How did I fare? How was the free Wi-Fi? And will my waistline ever recover?

What could be better than sleeping in a pair of pyjamas designed to look like a suit? Wearing a pair of pyjamas that look like a suit during an entire working day. This is what happened when I spent a whole day clad in Legendary Suitjamas.
