First off, I love this dildo! I spent a long time trying to find a realistic silicone vac-u-lock dildo that wouldn't break the bank, and the Original hit every nail on the head.

The Original is a silicone vac-u-lock dildo made by Doc Johnson. It's very realistic, and is perfect for using solo or having some fun with a partner. I personally use it vaginally, and it's just amazing for G-spot stimulation. It may be a bit large for some, but I personally enjoy the girth and length. Depending on your size preferences you may want to be careful when you start using this toy, as its length can possibly be an issue; if you like to thrust, you may bang your cervix up a bit. The dildo has some very pronounced veining on one side which is quite realistic looking, and the texture feels fantastic. It could also be used anally, but it's probably best for people who are fairly experienced with large anal toys, and when used in combination with plenty of lube.

If you have a vac-u-lock suction cup, you can use this bad boy all over the house, in the shower, etc. it should also work with most vac-u-lock sex machines and similar devices. The base is large and flared, so if you're using it on its own you can get a nice firm grip as well, which is always a plus in my book.

Oh, happy day! This dildo is 100% phthalate free, hypo-allergenic silicone; an extremely safe material as long as you don't have any silicone allergies. It's also very easy to clean. Upon initially opening the package, I couldn't sniff out any kind of odor. It's also totally tasteless. The Original has a smooth velvet-like texture, though I notice a faintly grainy texture no matter how many times I have washed it. As I said, it's very faint, but you may notice it. It also causes a bit of drag when used vaginally, so I would recommend using some lube; just make sure its compatible with silicone toys. I use water-based lube with it, personally.

The veining that is prominent on one side of the cock is nice for those who enjoy texture, and since it's only on one side I find it really pleasurable without being too much. I have to say it's a very firm dildo that has zero give if you try to squeeze it. This firmness can be good at times, but also a big hindrance. For example, when I use it for oral it is too rigid to really enjoy, in my experience. Overall it both looks and feels relatively realistic with the exception of being a bit on the hard side.

The Original vac-u-lock is, like its name implies, is completely interchangeable with any vac-u-lock devices and attachments (i.e; suction cups, sex machines, etc.). Since it has such a large flared base, it should work in most O-ring harnesses too.

It's designed to look fairly realistic, from the beige fleshy color to the veined shaft. Even the head is nicely detailed and crafted to give the feeling of a real cock. I also like that the veining is only on one side, so it's stimulating but not over the top.

It's a bit large in both girth and length; from base to tip its approximately 8 and 1/4 inches, the girth of the shaft if 5 inches around, the head is 5 and 1/2 inches around at the widest point, and the base is 2 and 3/4 inches across.

Down to the good stuff. I got it for use orally and vaginally, and I definitely love it in my pussy, but it is a little too girthy and firm for me to really enjoy it as an oral toy. Unless you're a veteran at deepthroating, I wouldn't recommend getting this specifically for oral; it can be quite a pain in the throat.

The vac-u-lock compatibility was a big selling point for me as well; I wanted to use a suction cup and be able to take it anywhere I had a smooth surface. It functioned really well in that regard, so I'm quite pleased. Speaking of compatibility, it works with O-rings too because of the large base, so you can use it in your favorite O-ring harness. I find it to be a very simple dildo, but with a lot of versatility and potential to find fun new uses over time.

Boy, I love silicone toys; they can be cleaned super easily in a number of ways, but the simplest is placing it on the top rack of the dishwasher. Yes it's safe, and there's nothing easier than popping it in and letting the dishwasher do the work. A more hands-on way to clean it up is to wash the dildo with anti-bacterial soap and hot water, or you can even boil it for 3-4 minutes. Also be very careful when you remove it from the boiling water; make sure not to burn yourself.

The one problem I have with the awesome silicone toys is that they collect an obscene amount of any and all hair, lint, dust, and whatnot. Even when I go through the trouble of isolating it from all my other toys in a Ziploc bag and washing it before I put it in, the moment I pull it out of the bag it sucks all the fuzziness to it like a damn magnet.

Nothing too special in terms of packaging; just a simple plastic clamshell. Inside there is a backing with some information on the dildo. It's pretty unimpressive, and definitely not discreet as you can see the dick right through the case. But the lack of flashiness in the package is definitely reflected in the price; I'd rather save the money and get a simple box, case, or clamshell. It's a matter of what's inside that counts to me. As long as those contents are safe, I'm happy.
