When I first opened the toy it was stuck to the packaging which made me fear that the texture wasn't going to be something to enjoy. On top of that, it originally had a strong smell but that went away after a few weeks (may go away quicker than that but that was when I used it the second time). The toy is made out of TPR which is a rubber polymer blend which is why it has a more sticky texture. It's not terrible but I highly recommend a lot of lube which you'll want anyway since it's designed for anal play. The texture won't interfere with play when using lube but without it, you'll be in trouble. The texture is easy to clean but be careful because you can't boil the toy to clean it so use a mild soap and water. It is a porous texture so if sharing, use condoms. One advantage of this being made of TPR, however, is you have the ability to use silicone or water based lubes.

After throwing some batteries in there it was time to test. I have mixed feelings about the controls. The buttons are clearly marked but the material is somewhat slick, and when you have lube on your hands it's somewhat difficult to tell which button you're on. So what I'm trying to say is I wish the buttons were raised more so you'd have more tactile feedback. There are lights that indicate the 3 levels of thrusting (4 if you include off) which is great and a separate light which syncs with the vibrations. The length of the controller cord could be longer in my opinion as it's just over 2' long which makes it difficult to use when you're squirming around. The vibrations are plenty strong though, and I liked the mix of patterns too. I thought the 3 level of thrusting was perfect too. Slow to somewhat fast. Don't expect this to give it to you rough ;) The suction cup was adequate and provided good staying power, but it did un-stick a few times which is expected I think.

Please note, if you're a beginner to anal play, this toy likely isn't for you. The tip of it is almost 1.5 inches in diameter with the base expanding to 1.75 inches. With all of that said though, I really like this toy and will use it a lot. I think most users will find it very easy and fun to use and definitely won't be disappointed.
