For me, the best way to use it is as an anal toy. Women, naturally, have a few more options available. It doesn't have a suction cup, so you have to hold it near the base with your hand, which isn't that big a problem since it is a nice long toy. Of course, when using it anally you have to be careful not to push it in too far, so that it isn't lost inside you.

While it is largely smooth, there are veins along the shaft, as well as some details to make it better simulate a real cock. This texture may translate into better pleasure for vaginal use, rather than anal. Thankfully the size is more than enough for anal stimulation. It is slightly soft to the touch, and flexible enough that it can easily bend in half.

Overall, the design is great. There is enough place to hold onto near the base, while the dildo is still giving you a nice full feeling. I think it would have been a little nicer with a suction cup base, as well as if it was a bit stiffer. Due to its length, the Long John can be a bit difficult to insert into a tight anus, especially when it's lubed up. It is also not too thick, so an average or advanced user would have an easy time taking it inside. A beginner might do well to practice with something slightly smaller first, until getting used to the size.

I think the toy performed admirably. It was a great fit and felt nice sliding in so deep. A suction cup to hold the base up would have been a huge help, but isn't really necessary with a bit of practice.

This is a PVC toy, so silicone or water-based lubes are acceptable with it. Cleaning it is as simple as warm water and antibacterial soap. You can store it in a cool dark place, possibly wrapped in a cloth or in a plastic bag. Just make sure it's completely dry before you do so. As with any toy, you should take care if sharing it between partners. Condoms are always recommended with this.

Overall, I've had a good experience with this toy. It was a bit of a challenge getting it inside after lubing the shaft. And it also was a bit too flexible to go inside. The best thing I can say about using this is to lube up the first third or so of the toy and get it inserted, then use your fingers to rub lube further down.

The reason for this is so that you can easily hold the unlubed part, around the halfway point, which makes it easier to get inside. Otherwise you'll likely end up with lube all over your hand while you try to fumble with the slippery shaft.
