The idea of a strapless strap-on has always been an extremely appealing one. There is something very mystical about a piece of silicone held inside ones body, like an extension of themselves, and the freedom from strap-ons. After researching, the Share by Fun Factory seemed to be the most suitable candidate in this new area of sex toys. The Share arrived to me in about two days, typical of EF, in a tall brown box with no markings indicating its embarrassing contents. The actual packaging of the Share is quite impressive. It is a very sturdy cardboard with a cool design and a flap up lid to reveal the toy. It displays the information about the toy, and frankly reminds me of Apple packaging to some extent. I would absolutely use this box for toy storage, though I wouldn't keep it out in the public.


The packaging contains the toy, a guarantee/warranty paper, instructions, and two packs of toy lube from fun factory. The Share itself is a hunk of matte silicone, which is the material of choice for sex toys due to its nonporous qualities. This prevents germs from cultivating on its surface, and makes it waterproof. The toy can be sanitized in the dish water, a pot of boiling water, or a bleach solution. Silicone lubes cannot be used on this toy, as it will make it deteriorate. The quality of the silicone on this toy is superiorly soft and skin-like, providing a friction needed to hold it in place. The front part of the toy (the "penis"), is 6 1/4 inches long and tapers to a diameter of 1 3/4 inches. The penis head is detailed enough for realism, but not so much to turn off beginning couples. The shaft is relatively smooth, except for a raised "line" that runs down it. The smoothness of the shaft and the way it gradually becomes larger is ideal for beginners to strap on sex.


Advanced users may be disappointed by the lack of texture and the size, and should stick to the XL version. Me and my partner had no trouble with the toy, as the upwards bend of the shaft provides adequate g-spot stimulation. The back part of the toy that is 4 1/4 inches long and has a diameter of 1 7/8 inches. It has an unusual kidney bean shape, meant to provide better grip in the vagina and stimulate the g-spot. Out of all the double ended dildos, this one is the most likely to stay in because of the shape and texture of this part. This side of the toy, because it doesn't gradually taper out into a larger size, can be difficult to insert. I used the provided lube on both ends, and I found it quite painful to put it in. Once it was fully inserted, however, I found that it felt relatively comfortable.


It is a fairly flexible silicone, which can be bent and formed to both ends for easier insertion. However, the "saddle" between the toy ends of the dildo combined with the weight of the front leads it to flop around when not in use. It does stay in, but just so much so it doesn't fall out. It doesn't seem to stick out for me, who has never done any pelvic exercises in my life and is not used to inserting anything in there. The feeling the weight of the dildo felts very nice and adds to the realistic experience. It seems to become another appendage of myself, and it feels very liberating to not have straps around my thighs.


In use, the flop of the toy may be an issue. It makes one more cautious of their movements, trying to steady the dildo in place and monitoring their thrusts. You may need to hold it in place at some points. This is a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the person. I should warn that more lubricated you are on the giving end, the more likely it is to fall out. I would use this dildo with a harness regardless of its purpose for extra rough sex, where it is likely to fall out and put an awkward halt to your loving. Even with a harness, the toy truly provides a unique level of pleasure and attachment for the giver that other strap ons cannot provide, and I recommend it to any person interested in strap-on sex, beginners or advanced.

The Share's weight and texture make it a star above all currently priced, double ended strapless strap ons as of now. I have used it many times, though the insertion can be painful and it can be a bit confusing. The best way to use this is during the butterfly position on the bed or doggy style.
