Offering a comfortable starting point for many dildo users, the deflated size of the Inflatable Realistic Dildo is a nice 5". This is around the thickness of most average biological human penises. Once inflated, the toy can get up to 7" in circumference - which will be a stretch for most people. These two diameters make the Inflatable Realistic Dildo an excellent choice for those who want a regularly-sized dildo - but would also like the freedom to enjoy a dildo that offers more stretch as well.

The Inflatable Realistic Dildo also offers a simple-to-use inflatable control system - especially for those who have never used an inflatable toy before. The simple, bare-bones system allows beginners to use an inflatable toy with no confusion. The inflation bulb requires firm squeezes to pump up the diameter of the dildo while the quick-release button is easy to access and push. Someone who has never used a sex toy before will easily be able to use the Inflatable Realistic Dildo within minutes of opening the packaging.

However, to reduce the likelihood of water getting into the inflation line, the Inflatable Realistic Dildo should not be used in any aquatic situations, and care should be taken when cleaning this latex dildo between uses.

Like most inflatable toys out there, the Inflatable Realistic Dildo is made from latex. Latex is not a particularly safe or high-quality material, but it's one of the few materials that can stretch and return to its original size with no damage to the material - which is exactly what's required of any toy that regularly inflates or deflates.

The Inflatable Realistic Dildo has a strong rubber and latex scent straight out of the packaging. This scent does not disappear after multiple days in circulated air. Expect this toy to always have the taste and scent of rubber. If this bothers you, you might consider keeping your latex dildo in a plastic, zipped up bag when not in use.

As the Inflatable Realistic Dildo is made from entirely-porous latex, it's also worth taking extra cleaning precautions. Using a condom with this toy would be a cautious choice, and you'll want to take extra care with anti-bacterial soap and water when cleaning this toy. As this toy can't be sterilized, it shouldn't be shared between multiple people.

This dildo is technically harness-compatible. It has the flared base necessary for use in a strap-on harness. However, the inflation tube coming straight out of the base of the dildo may make it uncomfortable to feel it strapped to the body. Keep this in mind if you plan on using strap-on play with your toy.

As the name "Inflatable Realistic Dildo" implies, this latex dildo was designed to have a semi-realistic look to it. This is present when the dildo is entirely deflated. The Inflatable Realistic Dildo includes small curves throughout the length of the dildo designed to look like the veining of a biological penis. The tip of this inflatable dildo features a small lip of a pronounced head.

When the dildo is inflated, all of the realism aspects disappear, and the dildo just looks like a long, puffed up, non-realistic dildo.

When the dildo is entirely deflated, the toy boasts a standard 5" in circumference. This is about the size of your "standard" biological human penis. With a bit of lubricant, anyone that can comfortably take a standard biological penis shouldn't have problems with this one. However, once the toy is inflated, it reaches a thicker diameter, and at that diameter, it likely won't be as comfortable for penetration for most people. To experience the best of both worlds, it's recommended to insert the toy while entirely deflated and try the inflation, slowly, while the toy is already inserted. This will allow for a gentle and gradual stretch that can slowly be increased over time if desired.

The toy is certainly travel-friendly as long as you realize that it clearly looks like an inflatable dildo. You may wish to hide the dildo within layers of clothing. However, there is no danger of the dildo inflating or vibrating during travel.

The Inflatable Realistic Dildo is easy to use. Unlike other inflatable toys which may include more features or uses, the Inflatable Realistic Dildo is straight to the point. It's a regular dildo - but the tube on the base of the dildo connects the dildo to a squeeze-bulb to increase the diameter of the dildo as you fill it with air.

The squeeze-bulb is easy to squeeze as you begin to inflate the dildo. It inflates easily. However, after 4 or 5 pumps, the squeeze bulb becomes much more difficult to squeeze as the pressure builds. As the toy gets fuller, it may even require two hands to apply pressure to the squeeze-bulb to get the toy to inflate further. As this means that the Inflatable Realistic Dildo is starting to reach its capacity, you'll want to be careful when inflating it further once you've hit this amount of pressure.

On the hose attached to the squeeze bulb, there's a small button. Just press and hold down this button, and the Inflatable Realistic Dildo will instantly deflate. The button can be released prior to full deflation, but as it only takes the toy milliseconds to fully deflate, it can be hard to time the button holding perfectly to get the perfect diameter when deflating the toy.

When entirely deflated, the toy has a circumference of about 5" exactly. (It's a little less) When fully inflated to 10 pumps (where concern about popping the toy keeps me from inflating it any further), the toy increases to a circumference of 7".

When inflated, the "inflation" spreads equally throughout the shaft. The base receives the smallest amount of increased diameter, but aside from that, the rest of the dildo increases proportionally with the amount of air that you pump into the dildo. The dildo tends to stay at the same diameter - whether inflated or deflated. When the toy is inflated, however, the dildo has a little more "plushness" to the thickness of the toy - similar to the give that you'd find in a balloon.

Made from latex, the Inflatable Realistic Dildo requires extra cleaning concerns. As latex is a porous material and can be difficult to fully sterilize, this toy should only be shared between people who are fluid-bonded. Water-based and silicone-based lubricants are both good choices for lubricating this toy.

No packaging nor marketing material reassures the absence of phthalates in this product. For that reason, a large-sized condom (that will allow for the increase of diameter) should be used with this dildo.

Your regular after-use and before-use cleaning will require some caution on your part. As getting water into the inflation line or into the dildo itself will cause future problems (including mold concerns), it's vital that you take care when doing regular cleanings. While this dildo can be cleaned simply with warm water and anti-bacterial soap, you'll need to use caution to keep the liquid and soap away from the base of the dildo near the inflation port and away from the air intake valve of the squeeze bulb.

Storage should include allowing the dildo to lay out generally flat. While you can allow for a gentle curve in the tubing of the air intake, it's vital that you don't wrap the tubing tightly or kink it tightly during storage. This may break the tubing, disconnect it from the dildo, or otherwise destroy your toy's ability to inflate. Due to the strong latex smell that doesn't dissipate, storing this dildo in a sealed plastic bag is also recommended.

The Inflatable Realistic Dildo comes packaged in see-through plastic. The plastic must be destroyed to get the toy. The plastic includes a small barcode sticker for warehouse purposes, but otherwise, the dildo is entirely devoid of any packaging or instructions.
