Well, yes this is a dildo equipped with a very functional suction cup which can be used with an "O" ring universal harness or you can just stick it to whatever smooth surface you prefer. I prefer to use this fella' with my favorite "O" ring harness. My girlfriend enjoyed every delightful inch of this toy, she even said, "Faster" and "harder!" at a couple points which means this material is superbly soft, soft enough for rough sex. As far as safety precautions, make sure you use a nice regular sized condom that you trust and water-based lubes only. Lastly, this toy is addictive. She likes this one more than our other toys AND she's a size queen. I took her to the mall today and she made it a point that I packed today, using Mr. Carrares. We met up with friends for lunch and she would not keep her hands off of it. She loves this thing.

Now the smell, it's pretty intense. It's not that typical fruity smell, it's that rubber inflatable tube or floaty chemical smell. Most rubber toys have some sort of a rubbery scent anyway so she didn't give a damn once I had Mr. Carrares secured into the harness and neither did I. It's still a very soft and squishy rubber material. Very flexible and real feeling. While I was wearing it at the mall, she slipped her hand down into my shorts and said it felt so real warmed up to my body temp.

Let's talk about the size and measurements.

Insertable length: 8 1/2 inches.
Rim of the Head: 2 inches.
It thickens just beneath the head, take a look at one of the pictures where the balls are either facing you or facing away. It measures out to be: 2 1/8th inches thick.
Center of the shaft: 2 inches.
Base of the shaft: 1 6/8 inches.

Now as far as who this guy would be good for, I'd say it's good for anyone. Whether they're new to using toys and want to step it up a couple thick inches, or if they're seasoned size queen veterans that would just like a good long thick one to keep their day to day uses fiery.

Doc Johnson did a fabulous job of capturing the details of Mr. Carrares' man hood. The thick veins, the soft wrinkles just beneath the rim of its head. It looks very very real, when it comes to its shape and detail. Now, the coloring once again is kind of that same strange Bright Pink deal for his bulging head, and the shaft is a pasty color. So it's a weird contrast the pink and pasty pale colors. As far as it's size, it will definitely push the envelope for the average users, but like I said, if you're ready to move up in size. This one is definitely a safe stepping stone, just go slow and relax and be gentle. Bust out the vibrator ladies if necessary, or ask your partner to offer a little oral stimulation for you. You won't regret it. This toy isn't insanely huge either, so I was able to pack it wearing my "O" ring harness and wear it around the mall and no one noticed. You could travel anywhere with this guy.

The suction cup works pretty well, but we didn't use it. We tested it by sticking it to the shower wall when we gave him his first pre-sex cleaning. But it worked like a charm in that "O" ring harness. The best thing about this toy, yes it is a rather large toy, but it's not Emergency Room status big. It's big enough to make your partner scream, safely. No chief complaints about this toy.

As far as taking care of this toy, it's simple. Try not to use harsh chemicals such as ammonia-based, bleach, alcohol enriched cleaning solutions, those will damage your toy. Use a nice mild anti-bacterial soap and blot the toy dry with a nice soft towel. Once you're done cleaning it, stow it away in a t-shirt or something with low lint and place it in a plastic bag. Stow it in a dark and cool place.

As per what the little care card says that it comes with, use water based lubes only with this toy, and whatever trusted condoms you prefer. The material is very porous which could harbor bacterial and cause all kinds of nasty little infections that the use of condoms can prevent from happening.

The box it came in was pretty nice, it had a picture of Mr. Carrares and of course the toy itself. Doc Johnson labels as well. It was also kept in a plastic container to protect the outside of the box but you could take that off without harming the box, and wrap the box as a gift if you'd like to make it a gift. WONDERFUL gift idea. ;)
