First a few of the downsides about this toy. Inflating it can take some time if you do not have a pump to help you out. As well the constant "sssss" can be a detractor if you are trying to be discreet with the item. Having another source of noise nearby, such as the TV or a fan, can help limit this to an extent. Similarly when deflating the toy, it can take some time. There is no quick-deflate mechanism. You essentially have to put pressure against the inflated part of the toy and squeeze the inflate plug to allow the air to escape. Still it takes roughly five minutes or so to do so.

Once inflated, the toy is fairly easy to use. Sitting on the toy you can rock back and forth and bounce up and down on it with very satisfying results. The addition of vibrations only further enhances the stimulation. One thing about using this is that you will probably get lube smeared all across the top of the item, but it's easy to wipe down with a paper towel and then clean further with toy cleaner or a bit of mild soap.

Storage is simple enough, in that after deflation you are able to fold the pieces in around the dildo itself to make it rather compact. Like most things of this nature, sticking it back into the original cardboard box isn't a perfect solution. It will remain slightly larger than when you initially remove it, causing the box to buck out at the sides. The item is made of PVC, meaning you can use silicone or water based lubrication as desired.

For usage, I found the best way is to squat over the toy and lower yourself onto it. Kneeling does not work as well because of how high the pillow is when it is inflated.
