Good concept, awkward execution

The most fun I had with this toy was watching my cat freak out when I pointed it at him. Which is to say, this toy was pretty poorly designed in that it is hard to use and doesn't reach the right places. However, someone with different anatomy might find it fits them perfectly, and with a few tweaks I could see this toy going far.

This is marketed as a couples toy and a hands free strap on. The idea is one partner wears one end of the toy, and the other partner uses the other end. While the idea is a great one (I think people universally would like to get rid of the awkward straps of traditional strap-ons), the toy is ultimately difficult and awkward to use with a partner.

The good news is that this toy can also be used for solo runs! The longer, light pink side contains a small removable bullet vibrator in addition to its thrusting capabilities. It still wasn't the best toy I've ever used, but it was less cumbersome than trying it in a couple.

The toy is packaged nicely in a cardboard box, but discreet is not the first word that comes to mind (something to be aware of if you are gifting it). The toy comes with extra batteries for the bullet vibrator, but no carrying pouch or instructions (though the company did put out a pretty informative video). There is a little slip of paper in the battery case part of the bullet, so make sure you remove that before you try to turn the vibrator on.

The toy is silicone and is smooth to the touch. It is pleasant to hold and the shafts are firm yet flexible. (As might be expected, the longer shaft is more flexible than the shorter.) The longer side is, however, relatively slender compared to most dildos, while the shorter side is shaped like a short and stubby g-spot dildo.

Since the toy is silicone, it should be used with a water or oil based lubricant and can be easily cleaned in a variety of ways-- simple soap and water, boiling water, cleaners for silicone toys, or even in the dishwasher (careful if you live with housemates!). Do make sure to remove the vibrating bullet before cleaning! Another easy thing about silicone is that it is hypoallergenic and there is no taste or odor.

As I stated previously, the idea behind the toy is great, but the actual execution leaves something to be desired. The dildo has two separate shafts: one long and thin, and the other thicker and shaped for gspot stimulation. There is a silver plug that allows you to adjust the angle of the two different shafts, and even with that flexibility, it was extremely difficult to get the toy positioned in a way that it was comfortable for both me and my partner. Additionally, the short end is so short that it easily slides out during any attempt at thrusting (though it stays in otherwise, which is good, I guess...). These two aforementioned factors in concert kind of kill the moment when you are really looking to do some heaving fucking. The toy would be improved if there were even more range of motion between the two shafts, and if they had foregone the gspot dildo for a dildo of regular length to avoid slippage.

Another problem I had with the shape of the toy was the placement of the protrusion that houses the bullet vibrator. The vibrator is so high up on the long shaft that even when I inserted the shaft as far as I could, the vibrator wasn't hitting my clitoris. This was frustrating to say the least!! (And I don't even have a particularly low cervix.) This is another place where I feel like maybe a little more testing before hang would have told the toy designers to watch out for this.

As well as vaginal-vaginal couples play, the toy can also be inserted into the anus (use plenty of lube!). Since the toy is made of silicone, if you remove the bullet you could also use it in the bath or shower!

I probably would not travel with this toy because the shape of it is something between a weird penis and a gun, neither of which I would want to be caught with at airport security. I feel like it would be similar to that classic scene in The L Word where Dana and Alice get caught with their dildos in the airport... A carrying case is also not provided and would be needed.

Overall, I really wanted to like this toy but it was just too difficult to use for its intended purpose of being a hands free, no strap strap on.
Experience
I also tried using the toy alone to masturbate, but the vibrator doesn't reach my clit when I insert the long shaft. When I touch the part of the toy housing the bullet, the vibrations also do not feel that strong since there the bullet is surrounded by the toy, creating a barrier to the vibrations. (Good news is that barrier also keeps the toy quiet!). Furthermore, the the short shaft feels too bulbous and un-stimulating for my tastes during solo play.
