When purchasing a toy for yourself or for a partner, don't do what I did: don't let your eyes get bigger than whatever orifice you might think about sticking the toy into.

This dude is *big* - a lot bigger than what I was expecting. I'm so glad that this site has an 'actual size' button - use it, please. Since this was my first true dildo, I wanted to go with a higher quality, realistic feeling toy and purchased this without considering just how big one and seven-eighths inches is. I was entranced by the length, which is quite enough for anyone.

The material is made of Cyberskin, which feels quite close to what a normal penis would feel like. It has a nice, hefty weight and doesn't feel cheap in the least, but unless you're prepared to take care of the toy's material quite closely (cleaner, talc/corn starch, proper storage, etc.) expect one or two divots here and there in places where it bends (around the base). The material itself doesn't have a strong smell, but it is porous, so clean it thoroughly!

The suction cup helps tremendously. It's large enough to hold the toy at practically any angle without slipping or coming loose. The dildo itself does not stand at attention, though, but rather 'leans back' when propped straight up. I wouldn't mind a bit more rigidity.

Now, I know that purchasing this as a beginner was not the best idea, and that's my recommendation to you: if you are experienced, or want something to work towards, by all means, this is a fantastic product and worth every penny if you take care of it. But if you're a beginner, do look somewhere else, because while this is a very high-quality product, it's a very *big* product.

It's been a while, and I've given myself adequate time to work with this product and I have to say that my review above still stands with its main points: it's big, it's porous and prone to tearing if uncared for, and well worth the money.

The feeling of completely taking this is akin to that of a real one - the toy heats with your body, giving it a more realistic feel. The suction cup keeps it in place no matter how rough you get with it and it's kept its shape very nicely over the time I have used it. It's weight, while giving it a reasonable feel, does tend to let the toy go "limp" if you're not actively holding onto it or sitting on it.

The toy has held up well with the proper care, only showing a bit of a divot in the material near the base of the toy from stretching. The damage is more aesthetic than anything. But it does show you what being too rough with this Cyberskin material can do - even if the product is powdered and stored correctly.

I should point out, thanks to Happy Lady and Oggins' comments, talc should never be used for toy protection - I did not know this myself, and have since switched to a safer powder to keep the toy from damage (such as a starch product, as they suggested).

Using this anally can be a great adventure, but only if you're ready. Work your way up to this, then enjoy it completely!
