Where to start? Packaging seems good a place as any. This dildo came in a simple clear plastic package that was extremely easy to open. Which is always nice because the faster you open it the quicker you can get down to business. The first thing I noticed was the odor, it's very strong. It was funny because I had to double smell it because it almost smelled a little fruity. My husband thought I was crazy because there I sat naked as a jay bird on the bed sniffing a dildo. If that doesn't give you a hilarious mental picture I don't know what will. Anyway back to the smell… like I said it was very strong and not in a good way as the smell really got to me and even days later it's still pretty strong. You know if it has a strong smell the taste of it will linger on that tongue of yours. My hubby loves it when I do the whole lick it with my tongue sex pot thing before I show him how it's done. It ruined the whole moment and we both ended up laughing because low and behold I now smelled and tasted like a giant dildo. However, with the feel of this baby that didn't keep me from using it the very next day.

8 ½ inches and jelly all the way. The Translucence Dong comes in two sizes 7 ½ inches and 8 ½ inches, as you can see I choose the larger of the two. Is bigger really better? I think so! Compared to my old dildo which was 8 ½ inches as well this baby is a monster. Not so much in length but it has some girth to it which felt splendid. Sitting there looking at it I noticed that the package said “8 ½ Translucence dong veined chubby“. You know as well as I do that we don't always look at the exact dimensions when buying, but I don't regret it at all. To some this dildo may not be thick, however to me it was a little thicker then I'm used to so I do need to lube up before I use it. I love the way it feels because it stretches me in all the right places. It feels great alone or with the use of a small vibrator for clit stimulation.

Being a jelly material its great to use with or without a condom and with it's raised veins it felt like I was having sex with my hubby! Although the raised veins do cause this dildo to be a little loud but only when you pick up the pace and you're extremely wet. The feeling in your hand is nice because it's got a smooth feeling especially when used with lube. It's very squishy and flexible but still firm enough to feel great when it's inside you. Because it's jelly it does have a sticky sort of sensation against your skin when its dry. Also because of the stickiness dirt and fuzz will stick to it, so it's important to make sure you clean it off before and after every use. I have been using anti-bacterial soap and water, but I have also used toy cleaner which works just as nice.

Warning: Slippery when wet! This dildo is a slippery lil' sucker when using in the shower or using lube, so hold on tight! The Translucence Dong is a bit harder to hold onto then other dildos with something at the base such as a suction cup or a pair of balls.

I would recommend this dildo to anyone! As long as you can get past the smell (it will fade eventually) it's great to use alone or with a partner. You really can't beat the price for a 8 ½ realistic feeling thick dildo.
