My significant other and I purchased this toy because we thought the veins would provide an interesting experience both anally and vaginally--and it does. I really didn't expect much out of a ten-dollar toy, but I was pleasantly surprised. I have no regrets about purchasing this toy.

First we tried it vaginally, and the veins definitely made it feel different--in a good way--than some of the other smoother toys we own. After a while we tried it anally and it was perfect. The slender size combined with the texture of the veins feels incredible. This is one of our go-to toys for anal stimulation.

While it is perfect for anal play, we've decided it doesn't have quite the girth we're looking for vaginally. It is easy to clean, but it is incredibly difficult to use with a condom--the condom hangs loosely around the toy due to the relatively small diameter. I've tried to tie the condom in a knot behind the toy, but the toy is just a little bit too long. Thankfully, unlike other inexpensive toys we've purchased, the Veined slim had no smell or taste. Unfortunately, when we started looking at harnesses later on, we were disappointed to find that the lack of a flared base on this toy made it incompatible with a harness. Due to the proportions it has, it is relatively flimsy, which can make it difficult to hold on to, as well.

If you're looking for a versatile toy with a small diameter that is still interesting, or if you're just starting to try some anal play, I'd recommend the Veined slim. Ours has been a bedroom staple for years. If you plan to use it anally at all, slim does not mean underwhelming. Beware, though: the small girth may or may not not be enough for some ladies vaginally.
