This toy is a great toy for anyone from a beginner to an experienced user. This was my first actual dildo, so I wanted something basic. It came in a very discreet cardboard box as usual with Eden's items, and in a brand new sealed plastic container, so any worries about the item's cleanliness went out the window.

Upon opening the package, I noticed a strange rubbery scent, but that isn't too uncommon with new sex toys. Since I bought it, I have washed it and used condoms with the toy (it is made of jelly by the way, so to maintain the integrity of the toy's material and increase its play life, using condoms on the toy is a good idea), and now the scent is barely noticeable.

Like I mentioned above, I use condoms with my toys so the materials last longer, and if you do too, the type of lube you use really won't matter, because it won't break down the toy. Personally, I always stick with water based lube, because it seems to be the least problematic upon interaction with toys, condoms, and your body. I'm a girl that likes to avoid problems. (Aren't we all?)

The length of the dildo was a little bit long for me, but for the person that wants to experiment with length, this would be a great bet. The texture has a nice give to it, but not so much that it seems flaccid like some dildos. (Really, who wants that?) The veined texture gives a nice ribbed effect for your fun session, without being overbearing. If you are looking for more girth, I would recommend another dildo, but I believe that anyone can find something fun to do with this.

I would not recommend this dildo for anal use, due to the fact that the end is not flared, making a trip to the emergency room seem a little imminent. I suppose since the dildo is so long, you could insert half of it and hold on to the back end, but really, why take the chance? Also, for those that are fans of strap-ons, it will not stay in a harness.

I still love this dildo, and still firmly believe that it is a great toy for experienced users and new toy users alike. If it had a flared base it would be great for anal exploration as well (with a toy cover or condom of course), but I am still happy using it for vaginal use! I still have issues with debris finding its way on the dildo, but it is so easy to clean that it really isn't a big deal. Still love it!
