This was my first toy ever and I found it very pleasing. Since I've never had sex before and never owned a dildo, I used with lots of my favorite lube (KY Jelly) and in the bathtub the first time so that I could get used to it.

The material on this dildo has a slightly plastic smell to it, but it wasn't overwhelming. It will probably fade away in time. My only problem with it is, as other people have pointed out, that the surface seems very sticky and tends to pick up pieces of lint and hair rather easily. It has no taste, so if you like licking on your dildo as much as I do, it's perfect! I found this toy firm, but soft and pretty flexible. The texture isn't really overwhelming, but it's there.

I personally like the design, I think I would have been a bit overwhelmed if the veins had been more prominent and the curve at the head is just so that it feels really good teasing your entrance. While some people love pink, the clear version of this dildo was for me. I love the distorted colors it makes out of everything and, when being used, it's very attractive and arousing to be able to see yourself through the dildo in such a way.

The size of this dildo is perfect for a beginner and with some lube and a little stretching, I took the entire thing easily on my first try... and that is coming from someone that hasn't had sex and was extremely intimidated by the size of this dildo when I first saw it. If you're looking for something to start out with, this toy is great place to start for it's price.

I think this toy is great for beginners, but for someone that has owned another toy and wants something larger, then it probably wouldn't be for you. While there are details on the shaft, they aren't really overwhelming, you won't feel them when you actually use it unless you are extra sensitive, which I'm not and so I didn't feel the ridges of the veins when I used it. As I've said before, the surface is kind of sticky and it seems to attract any piece of hair or lint that's around it, so don't be surprised if you start picking stuff off of it before and after use. It has a suction cup at the base, which works well on smooth, very flat surfaces, but doesn't suction so much that it won't come off. I stuck mine to the edge of the tub and it worked really well, but don't be surprised when it slips around a little.

Seeing that I just got this toy, I'm not really sure what to tell you about cleaning and maintenance. I bought an anti bacterial cleaner to go with it and my favorite lube is KY Jelly Personal Lubricant, the water based kind. This is the anti bacterial cleaner that I bought: Link.

I have a little DVD shelf that I keep by my bed that has my Hitachi Magic Wand+Attachments on it, as well as a few books. This toy will go on that shelf within easy reach when I'm feeling in the mood. It fits in the back of it nicely.

It's a cheap toy and it only comes with a rather cheap plastic container. It can't be used for anything else besides the toy, if you want to keep it wrapped up in the smelly plastic. There aren't any care or cleaning instructions included with the dildo, but it comes with the products website, if you really want to look into anything.
