I’m finally reviewing the Colt Shower Shot after over a year of very happy ownership. For me the Colt isn’t a sex toy as such, more something to facilitate much happier use of toys. Not that it couldn’t be fun if you set out to use it that way I guess, but someone else can try that out!

To set the scene; I’m a straight male with a penchant for anal play – plugs, dildos amd especially pegging with my enthusiastic OH. But (or should it be ‘butt’), I’m very keen that things should be clean when we play that way. I know that realistically you can never be 100% sure of cleanness, but I like to be as sure as I can.

Before this I had the standard ‘Anal Douche’ which sort of does the job, but can be a long and awkward process (fill, douche, repeat, repeat, repeat...). The Shower Shot is something else entirely – it makes the process quick & easy with consistent results, which, when that mood takes you, is exactly what you want.

In terms of product quality, the Shower Shot it simple and functional rather than spectacular. Firstly there is a standard shower hose, exactly like you might have going to your shower head. The fittings are a standard sized screw fit at both ends. In fact, I never even used the supplied hose, I just attach the ‘dildo’ bit to our existing hose. As for the dildo/douche thing, it’s made of a medium-firm semi-transparent rubber – I wouldn’t describe it as jelly, it’s a bit firmer than that. It is hollow of course, so can be pushed almost flat with enough of a squeeze, but it will hold its shape when inserted. It’s penis shaped, which seems a bit unnecessary, it could just as easily just be a smooth dildo, but it’s neither here nor there as far as function goes. Size-wise I’d call it medium-small – it might be a bit of a squeeze for a newbie, but for anyone with a little experience it should be fine. Finally, the dildo is covered in a few dozen tiny holes all along its length and head, so that when it’s attached with the water running it works just like an omni-directional shower head, with little jets in all directions. You can also give the jets little boosts by squeezing the base, which is cool.

In use, the Shower Shot certainly does the job. I won’t go into too much detail (let's face it, it’s never gonna be the most pleasant process), but to summarize, once I’ve had a preliminary clean with a soapy finger I move on to the Colt. I used to use shower gel, but now I use a good thick lube (personally I like Maximus) to lubricate the Colt, since I read somewhere that using too much soapy stuff up there is a bad plan (kills friendly bacteria or something). Once it’s inserted, I flick the shower switch on the taps to ‘on’ and whoosh... I find it’s best to ‘push’ against the flow, rather than holding it in, enema style... once everything ‘runs clear’ you’re good to go! Sorry if that made anybody feel queasy, but equally, if you want to know more I’m on the forums so look me up. I know I would’ve been glad of some advice when I was first looking for this kind of thing.

Anyway, back to the product – as I said the Colt does what it does and it does it well. Mine has had many, many uses, and still looks good as new with the exception of the shower hose connection bit, which has come a little loose, though this seems to have absolutely zero impact on its function - I just have to make sure I hold the fitting rather than the dildo when screwing it on and off the hose. If I could wish for one more thing to make the Shower Shot perfect it would be a shower hose splitter of some kind, so you could have it going at the same time as your shower, rather than having to switch from one to the other, but really it’s only a minor inconvenience.

My wife and I are getting more and more keen in anal sex, so to be sure of avoiding unpleasant drawbacks we ordered the Colt Shower Water Dildo. It's great! We went immediately to the bathroom, prepared a hot bath and got in to it. I tried first and it was a real, amazing, thrilling pleasure. The sensation of the water coming in to me is gorgeous. The only problem is that we had to get out of the tub, clean it and fill it again, and then my wife had the same experience.

The anal sex we had afterwards was great, and totally clean.
