The Tentacle Jr is a dildo that has caught my eye several times over the last couple of years. I remember the first thought I had upon seeing the product pages for Tentacle Jr and its bigger brother the Tentacle a couple years ago, hmm must be for people into tentacle rape porn I thought. Fast forward two years and I found myself suddenly very interested in owning one, and no I’m not a watcher of tentacle-rape porn but after five years of experimenting with sex toys I fancy something different than the average look and shape of a dildo. Checking out the colourful and almost artistic appearance of the Tentacle Jr I could feel a new appreciation for tentacles. I imagined it would be long, slim and malleable in use, and a bundle of slippery fun when lubed up.

Packaging-

The Tentacle Jr arrives in a clear plastic zip sealed bag along with what looks like a certificate declaring that your Whipspider Rubberworks ‘Interactive sculpture’ is made of high quality silicone and is ‘hand made with love deep in Maine’. It might not contain very much product information but the appearance of the leaflet/certificate adds a bit of character to what would be some very plain packaging otherwise.



Like most of the dildo or ‘Interactive sculptures’ that Whipspider Rubberworks prudoce, the Tentacle Jr has a mystical appearance with its merging shades of blue and green and its glittery detail. It even features a stamp in the base, of the Whipspider Rubberworks spider logo and the letters WSR engraved into the side of the base. Oh and it even glows in the dark!

Once taken out of its packaging both myself and my partner were surprised by the flexibility of the Tentacle Jr, but for those quite turned on by the idea of playing with a tentacle I suppose it’s actually a trait you would expect to find with a tentacle. To the feel it is soft and squidgy and can be bent in any which way with ease. With the tip of the Tentacle Jr being slimmer than the rest it is more flexible and bendable than the rest of the length of the dildo which tapers out to a thick base. The tip of the dildo measures in at 3 ¾ inches in circumference while the base of the toy is a girthy 7 inches in circumference. The total length of the toy is 9 inches long.

In Use-

In use the Tentacle Jr feels different to any other toy I own, with its surprisingly soft and squidgy silicone material allowing for alot of ‘give’ the first few inches of the toy are quite ergonomic and fit into the curves of your body. Being on the petite side I find I can only manage the first five inches or so of mine before the girth of the shaft lower down becomes too much for me. Five and a half inches down the length of the shaft the circumference of the toy is 5 inches.

With the material of the Tentacle Jr having alot of ‘drag’ to it I find it always need a generous amount of lube applied before use. The suckers of the toy are slightly concave and do provide extra stimulation in use but not to any point where I feel they would be uncomfortable for anyone for anyone. My favourite way to use the Tentacle Jr in to keep with the aquatic theme of the toy and use it in the shower, This helps with the one problem I have found when using it, the fact that it can be such a lint magnet. It is perhaps the worst offender I have in my toy collection when it comes to collecting dust even when stored and handled carefully, a quick rinse with water usually fixes the problem.

Material/Care-

Made of high quality Silicone, The Tentacle Jr is skin-safe and both latex and phthalates free. It is easily cleaned with hot soapy water (make sure you pay attention to the nodules in particular when washing) It is also safe to place in the top rack of the dishwasher or boil to disinfect (three mins should do the trick) I would recommend using a water-based lubricant with it, never use a silicone based lube with a silicone toy! The tentacle can be difficult to store because of its size and shape and tendency to collect dust. It can be stored in the plastic zip-sealed bag which it comes packaged in but with it dragging on the plastic every time you take it out of the bag, the bag becomes tattered looking pretty quickly. I choose to keep my Tentacle Jr sitting out in the bath to brighten up the place and keep it within reach come shower time!
