For those of you who are not aware, I am somewhat of a size queen. My husband has been on the hunt for a long time for something 100% silicone and really large. When he told me the Hoss was on its way, I was a bit intimidated by the name alone and then, when I laid eyes on it for the first time, I was convinced it would be too big for me. Honestly, I wondered if my husband was disappointed it was not bigger.

We made fun of him for a couple of days. We teased him and said he would make a great door stop. We said he was so heavy he could even be used as a dumbbell or the Eden version of the As Seen on TV Shake Weight, an awkward rolling pin, or he could make a heck of a self defense weapon.

The Hoss was not at all bullied by our remarks. He means business, is intended for vaginal usage and is certainly safe for anal usage, if you dare.

Hoss has 11 full inches of insertable length, please use with caution, as it would be very easy to bruise your pubic bone, cervix or God only knows what else! I recommend lots and lots of water-based lube and warm up prior to trying to wrangle this beast.

Hoss is made of 100% Ultra-Premium Platinum Silicone. He is hypoallergenic, hygienic, phthalate-free, boilable, bleachable, and 100% non-toxic. He does not smell or taste like anything! He is simply glorious in that aspect!

He is a realistic (to an extent) toy. He has veins (that add to the texture, but it isn't overly done), bigballs, and a nice head.

He is quite firm and has very little give when I squeeze him; however, I can bend him into a U-shape (takes a bit of muscle to do it though).

Weight: 2 lbs, 13 oz.
Total length: 13 inches.
Insertable length: 11 inches (if you dare).
Circumference (at the base of the head): 8.75 inches.

My husband's loose fist (trying to make it as small as possible) is actually 10.25 inches. If you enjoy fisting occasionally, the Hoss might not be as intimidating as it looks at first.

I certainly would not recommend this to a beginner. However, some size queens might even shy away from this one.

Is the Hoss suitable for traveling? That is a good question! TSA might consider it a weapon if you tried to bring it in a carry-on bag. The Hoss does not know how to be discreet in any form. If you must travel with him, I would suggest he travel in checked-luggage or in a vehicle.

He could come in handy in a carjacking, mugging, or in home defense! One good clock to the head and I am sure anyone would be down for the count. Oh how I love multipurpose toys!

How does the Hoss perform? He performs fabulously. He does everything he claims he can and he will last a lifetime. I like the way Tantus designed the Hoss. It is big, black, a bit veiny, and the balls are huge. The shape is perfect, and if I had to change one aspect, I would only be to make it 2-3 inches shorter.

I can not speak to its compatibility with a harness just yet. I suspect at almost 3 pounds and 8.5 inches in circumference it might be hard to find a harness that could handle it or a receiving partner for that matter.

Being 100% silicone, it is an absolute breeze to clean. A little hot water and soap or toy cleaner and you are all set. The Hoss can be sterilized in boiling water or in the dishwasher on the top rack (dishwashing agent not recommended).

Water-based lube is recommended and because of the sheer size of the toy, it is a MUST for me.

We store the Hoss wrapped in the plastic bag it came in and standing upright in our cedar chest, along with all our other toys. If you are interested in making this purchase, I highly suggest making sure you have a place to put it, before doing so. It does not fit in our nightstand and it might have a hard time fitting in some dresser drawers as well.

Quite frankly, I have had the joy of owning the Hoss for 3 months now and I still am majorly disappointed by the lack of packaging that came with Hoss. When I spend $140 on a toy, I expect some sort of storage to come with it, especially when it is a toy of such size (a box would have been great); so, you can imagine my how upset I was to see that it only came in a plastic bag with a slab of cardboard stapled to the top of it (similar to how drinking straws or bagged candies are packaged at the supermarket). It would not have been so bad if it had at least been a recloseable bag of some sort, but the one provided is not intended to be kept at all.

I was intimidated at first by the looks of Hoss. He is hung, but once we invited him to play we quickly realized he was not nearly as big as he looks. He is actually smaller than my husband's fist and forearm. I prefer to use Hoss when he is being held-fast by my husband while I thrust upon him, giving me control of the depth and speed.

He is not a regular in our bedroom play, but he is invited on occasion.
