The Dynamic Duo Vibrating X-10 – Vibrating Probe is by far the best anal toy I’ve ever used. Long, wide, with three speeds, it’s filling, stimulates almost everything, and feels fantastic. It is not perfect, however, with sometimes rough texture; makes masturbation requires special positions and has a suction cup base.

The top bead is curved and thinner than the rest of the body and it fits comfortably into the anus once it’s lubricated. After initial insertion, the remaining seven inches of the body slides in without difficulty and fills every nook and cranny. Just the sensation of being so completely filled can be pleasurable, especially when the toy is clenched and released, but once activated, it’s like nothing else.

Vibrations travel through every inch of the colon immediately, focusing on the point of entry. Of the three speeds, I’ve found medium to be the most pleasurable. The slowest setting lacks the force of the other speeds, while the fastest is intense for a few moments, making it a great finisher, but feels weaker after only a few moments.

Masturbation becomes a more sensory experience, stealing focus from the penis. This is no loss, as the sensation is so intense that there is no regret in the penis being slightly less important while masturbating. The vibrations change a humdrum squirt into an exhilarating gusher.

Be warned, there are issues with the texture. The undersides of the beads can snag onto the colon, which is painful and not unlike a light scrape. If not lubed, the girth is also difficult to remove and the beads can get caught.

Of further note is the base. Rather than a solid base that’s part of the toy, it’s an inverted suction cup that seals the toy in place. If the suction cup is exposed to liquid, the seal weakens and the toy gradually loosens. That makes it harder to turn on, as the on button is on the toy, not the base, and increases the risk of the toy being sucked up into the colon.

Positioning is also a big problem. Its length makes it difficult, if not impossible, to sit down directly upon it and the aforementioned suction means sitting is too dangerous to try regardless. As it cannot be sat upon, in order to masturbate, a user either has to sit at a side or lie down. This is fine for those using their imaginations, but computer use is much more difficult this way.

As a toy made of TPE, it is a loose, flexible toy, that is less porous than plastic toys. Cleaning should be handled with warm water and soap, or a toy cleaner, such as Climax Bursts. This type of toy is known to have a distinct odor, which i occasionally notice, but do not mind and as a taste, which I cannot verify. A water or silicone based lubricant is best used with this toy.

The aforementioned problems, however, pale in comparison to the steady tingle and robust climax. Its ease of use and sensual anal feel offsets all shortcomings, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored. Once a person is ready for a thicker, vibrating toy, this is the perfect next step.

There are only two problems I've found. The first is that the edges around the beads fray and scrap inside the colon. Secondly, if water gets into the suction cup, suction is lost and the probe comes loose. As long it's properly lubricated and cleaned properly, there shouldn't be any problems and I stand by the original review.
