I enjoyed this toy immensely! I didn't get the First Mate for this reason, but it is almost the identical twin of my partner in the color vanilla! The First Mate is very versatile. Although not suited for anal play unless well experienced in that department, this toy can be used in a harness, warmed in hot water, which was my favorite and added an even more realistic feel, and a great trainer for oral sex if your partner is on the well-endowed side! I have tried using this toy for oral training, but prefer something with a suction cup base for stability. I personally use this toy vaginally after warming it in hot water while simultaneously using a bullet vibrator for clitoral stimulation. It never disappoints!

The material is silicone and rated 10/10 in body safety which is a great plus. The toy has no smell. Cleaning is a breeze and worries are pretty much non-existent due to the fact this toy is 100% non-porous, phthalate-free, latex-free and hypo-allergenic. The First Mate does feel pretty realistically soft, firm but flexible and the subtle veining was very enjoyable!

The design of the First Mate will make you fall in love! The flared base is great to hold on to for solo use. The shape is very realistic with the subtle veining and curved head. This toy is on the large side at 7 1/2 inches long and a 1 1/2 inch diameter, so it's not very discreet. However, this toy was not overly large to become a problem. This toy, when used laying on my back with my feet over my head, was even capable of hitting my G-Spot!

The First Mate definitely filled me up and was very pleasurable! If you let this toy sit in hot water for a bit and do some temperature play, it is amazing! I am not usually able to orgasm without clitoral stimulation, so I use this toy with my bullet and I'm never disappointed! I'm small and short so this toy was most comfortably used while laying on my back. This dildo doesn't take to water-based lube too well; the lube seems to just roll off of the toy. This was quite a problem for me. The First Mate is rather big, so it felt like the toy was never lubricated enough. This sometimes made insertion and play uncomfortable. To fix this, I bought a gel, water-based lube.

While this toy did not take to water-based lube well, it was easily remedied by using a gel, water-based lube instead of liquid. Every time before going to use the First Mate, I would have to give the dildo a good rinse. Everything sticks to this toy, lint, string, hair, you name it! Other than that, the care is minimal because it's silicone. You can wash it many different ways, including toy cleaner, boiled on the stove for 3-5 minutes and the dishwasher. Just make sure you store this product in a lint-free environment.
