The flat, flared base isn't incredibly easy to maneuver with your hands, but it's obviously made for a harness, and I think would be better for people who are okay with a relatively strong curve (as fits the name!). The shape isn't suited for everyone's anatomy, and the heaviness of the base might cause it not to work so well in certain harnesses.

Because this dildo is silicone, it collects dust, has no particular taste, and lacks a strong smell. If your nose is right up close to it, it does have a veeeery slightly rubbery odor, but I don't find that to be off-putting. It's relatively firm when squeezed, but the tip can be bent to touch the base, with only moderate resistance. The back is very slightly ridged, and the ridges on the shaft project outwards just as much as the head of the dildo does. I guess it's meant to give the user the feel of being penetrated by the head multiple times.

I like that this dildo has a pretty clearly phallic head, unlike the similar Acute, for example. I was looking for something that straddled a line between being very realistic (which I thought I'd find kind of mentally off-putting/odd) and totally futuristic/artistic. The Curve fit the bill on those criteria, and the neutrality of the black color was what I wanted, too.

The toy isn't enormous; it fit snugly in an index card box that I was using to store small toys for a while. But it's unlikely that it could be slipped into a thin bag, or a similar container, without attracting attention unless it was well wrapped up.

I've used this on others either in a RodeoH harness or with my hands. I suspect that a more secure harness than the RodeoH would let it perform more effectively, and allow me to thrust harder without worrying about it flopping around.

The fact that it's curved and that its base is so heavy means that it tends to sag down on the heavier, thicker part of the curve.

Apparently, the slight ridging of the back can hit the G-spot!

I live in a dorm and can't pop this in the dishwasher, but it's not difficult and doesn't take long to wash it with a little soap, water, and paper towels. I sometimes store it with a condom on (which I then remove and replace before actual use), because that protects the surface from getting dusty.

The plastic packaging was fine, but not really suited for permanent use and reuse, so I got rid of most of it. For a while I kept the molded plastic part that goes directly around the dildo, but other than protecting the silicone from gathering lint, there wasn't much use for it; it took up a little too much room in my box of toys.
