I have to say that I am rather pleased with this toy. I bought it after my partner mentioned an interest in anal play. It's slim and the curves help it to form to you. It is a very good choice for someone beginning in their anal play. Also it works well for women too for that full feeling if you use it and your man is inside your vagina.

The Talon is made from a very firm silicone making it easy to clean. It is made with a matte surface with curved, wavelike contours running along the inner-side of the toy. The blue color gives the toy a very liquid like flow to the design. It has no smell and because of the surface texture you might want to use a fair amount of lube.

There was one issue that I had with this toy. The base of the Talon is not flared and if you play with an overly vigorous amount of force the handle like base risks slipping inside. However, as long as you play safe you have little risk of the ever-embarrassing trip to the ER. Other than that, the shape and size make for a really fun an sexy toy.

Another "off label" way to use this toy is as a g-spot and clit stimulator. It's not the best at it, but it does give a nice sensation. Even without any "off label" uses, this toy functions quite well for what it is made for.

Since the Talon is 100% silicone, care is simple and easy. Lube the toy up before use. Water or oil based lubes only. Once done, clean it via your favorite method. I am a soap and water or commercial toy cleaner person. If you pop it into the dishwasher, I'd recommend using the silverware holder. After it's washed you can sanitize it in boiling water or a 10% bleach solution for a little while. (I don't like bleach but it's your choice.) When you aren't using it the toy can be slipped inside its plastic case easily and kept clean.

There are no instructions in the package, so you're left to sort of figure out how it is best used. I think that is really kind of half the fun. The container is a hard plastic container in a bell like shape with a bottom that comes off allowing you to slip the toy out.

All in all, this is a really funs and playful toy. I would recommend it for beginners as well as all lovers of anal play for it is neither to wide nor too long.
