I was so excited to try this toy. It is different than anything I have seen and leads to fantasy play of all kinds. When it showed up I was amazed at just how cool it is. This would be a fun toy for sure, or so I thought. It had no odor, the silicone it's made from is not sticky, the textured parts are not sharp and it has enough give to not hurt while still being solid enough to get the job done. And don't forget, it glows in the dark. I have become bored with standard phallic looking toys and really want to start adding more unusual pieces to my collection. This definitely qualifies as unusual. Heck this is one I could leave out as it doesn't look like a sex toy at all.

So I got my little play group together for another night of experimenting with new toys. My girlfriend got me all warmed up and ready and then we pulled out the new tentacle. And then we stopped. It has these interesting suction cup designs in the side which I wanted to feel, however we usually condom our toys for easier clean up. So this was dilemma number one, could we cover this thing? Standard condom, nope to small. Extra large condom, nope still wouldn't go on. Finally we were able to cover it with a female condom. Now I know you're thinking who uses condoms on their sex toys? Well I do. It makes clean up easier and allows for sharing (with a fresh condom for each person of course) and not being able to easily cover this monster is strike one.

Okay time to try it out. Problem number two, how the heck do you hold this? Its base doesn't have a good place to grip it. This is definitely NOT harness compatible. Even for someone with larger hands this toy is awkward to grip and maneuver. And I don't know about you but when someone is inserting something into my body I really prefer they have a nice strong grip and lots of control of it. Keeping it angled right, keeping the condom on, and in general just moving it was very difficult. To wield this while preforming oral sex was nearly impossible. Strike two tentacle monster.

So logistics finally figured out, and she's tying to get me off with a very well lubed tentacle. This thing is BIG, really, really big! and it goes from the tip to oh my god with very little warning. I am no size queen but I can handle being full, however this went beyond full to uncomfortable. The curve of this is good but the give in the silicone meant it could reach my Gspot but not press hard enough to be satisfying. My girl knows my body and she tried and tried and despite her valiant efforts this tentacle only left me sore and frustrated. Strike three, and tentacle you are out.

Overall I was just so disappointed by this toy. It looks awesome, and I wanted it to feel as good as it looks but it just doesn't and no amount of effort would help. I will keep you on my shelf pretty tentacle; there is just no room in my toy bag for a toy that won't work.

I play with a small group on a regular basis: my girlfriend, my husband and my male submissive. Toys get used on both girls and the subbie boy. This tentacle made the rounds and no one was really impressed with it. It was hard to cover, which is an issue when playing with a group. It is difficult to grip, something like a handle would help here. And it was just too big to be enjoyable. We will have to try out the tentacle jr. and see if it performs better.

It's so, so pretty, but no matter who I use it on, it's just too big. I am ordering the tentacle jr and hoping it is more functional; stay tuned for the review.
