The feel of the toy is as real as expected. Nice large textured veins, for that life-like feel, you may desire. The dildo is made of rubber, which is safe with water or silicone based lubes. I highly recommend using a little lube for beginners, because the dildo is much larger than your average penis. The rubber retains a chemical strawberry-like smell that lasts no matter how many times you use it. I suggest using a condom if this smell bothers you or causes irritation. I didn't have this problem, but just a precaution.

I was, also, disappointed by the material because from over use it cracks. I realize the rubber doesn't actually "crack", but it forms little (and these are quite small, I should add) rips and tears in the fabric over time. I'd suggest not bending it too much (which is very easy to do as is folds completely in half with ease) to prevent this from happening too quickly.

The toy is a little too soft for my preference, as I prefer a nice naturally hard man, but the flexibility is good for beginners and will definitely never cause discomfort or pain during thrusting (except for perhaps the large size, but this is nothing a little lube won't help.)

My boyfriend loves using this on me or watching me suck on it. We like getting into bondage role-play scenarios, so it's great for fast thrusting, since obviously hands can move quicker then hips. We haven't tried it for anal yet due to the massive size, and if you decide to try this yourself, use a condom first so as not to spread bacteria from your anus to other areas. I also don't recommend long sessions of sucking on it, even though this is generally personally appealing for your partner to watch. Due to it's chemical material, it's probably not safe to ingest too much of those.

I have never used this dildo with other toys yet, but a nice clit tickler would probably go lovely with the use of Mr. Softee.
