While this toy is pretty much limited to vaginal use or practicing oral skills, it's still a great choice if you're interested in something more realistic with a lot of texture but don't want to break the bank. The material is of good quality and will last you a few years or more with proper care. There's some good grip to it so you can still be on top of it on the floor without a suction cup, but it doesn't have a flared base so you should avoid anal use.

This veiny guy is made of phthalate-free PVC. There is a chemical like smell that has stuck with it through a few washes, although it will likely pick up the scent of stronger scented things that you use due to its overall texture. When you go to pick it up you'll feel that it isn't exactly sticky, but it definitely has a lot of grip to it. Where skin catches your finger ever so slightly as you run over it, you have to put effort in to run your finger down the length of this toy with any more than a light touch. That being said, it's surprisingly not a magnet for lint and other debris, even if it shows a lot of fingermarks. Well, not so much individual finger marks, but more of a dullness where you've been holding it and it's been exposed to the natural oils of your fingers.

Coming in around 6 3/4" long, 4 1/2" around the head, and just slightly thicker than that on parts of the shaft, this is a pretty good representation of an average penis at least as far as overall dimensions go. The head is extremely pronounced and even includes a stylized slit on the front. The underside of the shaft is followed by 2 also pretty pronounced ridges, and then highly raised veins all the way down the rest of the shaft. Big fans of texture will be big fans of this toy, although the extra pronounced head may catch on pubic bones and be uncomfortable during thrusting. Travelling with it is also really easy, but don't expect anybody to be fooled if they look at it. There's not really any passing this off as something else.

In use it does have a nice drag to it, but a lot of folks will likely want a little extra lube. The extra detailing is very noticeable during use, to the point that some might find it uncomfortable in certain positions. As mentioned, the head may catch on pubic bones during thrusting if you're laying down. You may be able to get around that by placing it on the floor and being on top instead. There's no extra base for harness use and it doesn't have a suction cup, but the general grippiness of the material seems to allow it to stay pretty well in one spot without having to be held too tightly. The flexible nature of the toy also lends itself nicely to feeling like you're moving with an actual physical body part.

PVC is a very easy material to take care of; simply wash it with warm water and antibacterial soap, or your favorite toy cleaner. This particular toy has a lot of detailed veins that you have to take special care of when cleaning because lube and bodily fluids can get caught in the detail work and be difficult to get out. The plus side to it being relatively crystal clear when it's clean is that it's a bit easier to see if you missed a spot and have to go back in to scrub a bit more. Unfortunately there's no way to completely sterilize this toy, so if you want to share you'll also want to use a condom with it.

If or when you decide you want to use lube with this guy, you'll want to stick to water or silicone-based. After he's completely clean and dry - just store him somewhere cool and dry. You might want to wrap it up with an old t-shirt or keep it in a toy bag to keep dust off of it, or you can wash it both before and after you use it.

Packaging was relatively minimal, but still a pain to get into and required scissors. It wasn't anything overly tacky. Displayed the toy, had some information about it and the material, and makes a nice addition to your recycling bin if you don't have nosy neighbors.

I got this assignment with another at the same time. When they both showed up, this was the one I was the most excited to use and try out. And then I did. And then I remembered that largely pronounced heads like that catch on my pubic bone and are generally uncomfortable and distracting if I'm thrusting on my own on my back. But I had a stroke of genius (for myself, because it never occurred to me to try it this way with other toys that caused me similar discomfort) and decided to pretend that it was attached to a body and placed it on the floor like I was going to be on top. That made it a lot more enjoyable for me because I could still get the benefits of the texture without the awkwardly uncomfortable popping sensation of the head catching on my pubic bone from the inside.

Overall I'm really happy with this toy. There are a few shortcomings that keep it from being "the perfect toy" but as far as I'm concerned, for the price and the quality it's done a great job. Normally when I feel material like that it's accompanied by picking up debris and dust and lint from anything in a 20 foot radius and this one just didn't. There were few stray hairs after being dropped on the floor, but that was about it.
