When at first the postman arrived with a three foot box, I thought "Is someone sending me a vacuum cleaner?" But then I recognized the Eden Fantasys labels and realized that despite being detachable in the center, the Playgirl vibrating double dong had been packaged as one particularly lengthy dildo.

Even when you know it's for sharing, there's something about 20 inches that gives you a fluttery sensation followed by a little fear. Does anybody have a 10 inch vagina? Once you unscrew the two ends it's clear that at least five inches in the center are dedicated to a non-insertable battery compartment. This bugs me because it means that not only was my girlfriend quite far away from me during sex, but we couldn't rub our labia together during penetration. As somebody who doesn't derive much pleasure from tribadism without penetration, this was somewhat disappointing. The Doppeltest Lottchen is a more useful length if you're into double ended dildos, and trust me, this is an area a lesbian couple should not neglect.

Despite the two ends having slightly different shapes, they are very similar in feel. Both have a deliciously soft jelly tip which feels heavenly against my clit and two inches of hard substance towards the end to make sure that the vibrations transmit effectively. One is gently ribbed to add a little friction, but I'm fonder of the smoother end as the ribbing did cause a little post-sex discomfort after I used it without a good quantity of lube.

Because the toy is essentially two vibrators stuck together, I often take it apart to use one end during solo sex. Unfortunately because both rely on a the same central piece to create a circuit, only one end can vibrate at a time when separated.

The battery compartments are very snug, which meant that my rechargeables, which seem to have a slightly thicker coating, do not fit despite being AAs. This is a real nuisance for the regular user.

As readers of my other reviews will know, I find realistic dildos a definite turn off, but because this toy is a pleasant lilac color, even the realistic-shaped tip on one of the ends does not unsettle me.

Unfortunately the toy does not look all that robust but this might be a misconception based on that fact that the internal workings can be seen through the translucent casing. My experiences with the Delight by Evolved have demonstrated that just because something looks robust, it isn't necessarily reliable. I'll make sure to report back in the future to let you know how well the dong stood the test of time.
