So, the Mr. Eight was an impulse buy for me, but one I am glad of. The silicone is firm enough for normal use, but it's also flexible and forgiving enough for harder usage, especially in places such as the shower. The firm feel of Mr. Eight works well for either anal or vaginal play. For anal play, the Mr. Eight is not recommended for beginners as it is not what I consider to be a comfortable starting out toy due to its generous girth of 2 inches in diameter and its 9 inch length.

The Mr. Eight toy cleans up well, using either toy cleaner, or antibacterial soap and warm water. Not only this, but because it's not battery operated, it's an extremely discreet toy and works well wherever you are. However, it also means you are to rely on your own personal strength and stamina to get to the big-O finish. I unfortunately found out that when using the suction cup in the shower, it tends to slide off the wall which can be quite frustrating at times. I have also found that insertion is difficult with this particular toy once it is stuck to the wall, so insertion should be attempted beforehand. Not only this, but the material of this toy tends to 'stick' and not slide easily inside and therefore, water-based lubricants can help ease the way.

Despite these cons, I have found that this toy works well in conjunction with a wand for clitoral stimulation (such as a Hitachi or Lelo style wand) which makes getting to that massive orgasm much easier. Using the toy in this way, in conjunction with a relatively quiet and discreet toy, means it is much more travel worthy than something like a rabbit which can be quite noisy, especially with those dual motors!
