It could be enjoyed solo, or with a friend. The handle allows for either very precise movements, or for those time when you really just need to be pounded. For all you people who don't really like harnesses or double ended dildos like the Feeldoe this might be what you're looking for. Confused? Stick with me.

Talula (my wife) and I use the Manhandler in perhaps a different use than the intended; we use it in role reversal. She likes the control aspect and I like the submissive role for a change. But, Talula doesn't like the feel of a harness and the Feeldoe just wasn't long enough for our situation. So, she just puts the Manhandler between the legs right underneath her pussy and bam! Instant cock. No mess, no fuss and the price is right. And, the pressure of the shaft is pleasurable for her. Additionally, while she won't admit to it, LOVED the Manhandler when I used it on her. Though, she definitely had to be warmed up, and in the zone to take it.

The material is rubber. That's the biggest let down from this toy. It's a porous substance. Germs and bacteria can get inside. And basically, you should use a condom with it every time, even if you're just using it vaginally. Definitely use a condom on when taking the Manhandler in the backdoor. Even though its not the safest material, the Manhandler is firm to the squeeze. But due to the length, it's a bit floppy. If you're looking for a wand or something "stiff" this isn't for you. You'll need to guide it in; but once the Mandhandler is in, you're good to go. Also. I should tell you it smells. Not real bad, but enough to notice. Enough to notice when you're blindfolded. After four months or so, the smell has died down, but it's still noticeable.

Another reviewer mentioned using the handle for penetration, but we haven't tried that. Though, it stands to reason that the Manhandler is flexible enough for double penetration if you like the "full" feeling.

Due to the sheer size of this animal, please take your time if you are not an experienced dildo user. It's large for vaginal insertion and huge for anal. She couldn't take the whole thing (though she screamed in ecstasy) and I couldn't get half of it. Sometimes I swear Talula is trying to impale me! If you're going to use it anally, it's probably best to start with something smaller and work your way up during the same session.

The shape of the dildo's head is pretty realistic and you feel small groves along the shaft. Though, they are not nearly as large as the Raging Manhandler. Oh, and if you travel often, it might be best to leave this one at home. The TSA gurads at the airport might think you're sneaking a weapon on the plane.

The best thing about this dildo is the handle. How many times have you been using a wet, lubed up dildo just for it to slip out of you or your hands at that earth shattering moment? No longer a problem! Because of the length and handle, this dildo can do just about anything. With the length and the handle, there's no way you could lose this thing while you're moaning with delight.

Additionally, Talula and I both like the length of this dildo. You don't have to worry about it getting lost, or having to shove it all the way just to feel the right pleasure. The length and the handle make it perfect to hitting just the right spot.

If I could change something about it I'd probably make it just a bit stiffer, or even, just a bit smaller (in girth).

Again, always use a condom with this big guy. We simply store it in our toy chest, and don't worry about starching it, or covering it. Seems to hold up just fine after four to five months of use. For clean up we just remove the condom, wash with hot water and anti-bacterial soap and squirt it with the occasional toy spray.

For lube, we've only used water based and silicon lube with it. I prefer the water based, thicker lube to the thinner silicon. She prefers the silicon. It's really up to you. But really, once this thing is lubed up and ready to slip in, the last thing you'll be doing is arguing over which lube to use next time.

The package from Eden was normal. No one would have known the UPS guy was dropping off one of the largest dildos I'd ever seen. However, the packaging for the Manhandler itself is just cheap, sharp plastic. You *could* open it carefully and save the container for storage. We just threw ours away.

With the exception of Talula's Hitatchi Magic Wand , this toy probably is getting the most use as of late. We really like it. Using it as a couple in the role reversal situation, she has the freedom of moving about the bed or removing it quickly if she needs to move about the room. The Manhandler is long enough for multiple positions that were not possible with a harness or Feeldoe. It works with the missionary, doggy and cowgirl

And to be honest, when it's her turn to be Manhandled,I really love to watch it penetrate her.
