A few months ago I was in the market for purchasing myself a dildo and I had this toy recommended to me by someone who absolutely loved it. She sang its praises about the realistic feel of the toy and how it's the favorite in her toy box. Not only does the dildo have a real 'skin' like quality to its surface, but it was perfectly set between being firm and soft, like a real penis. Needless to say, I was excited when it came in the mail but was disappointed from the moment of unboxing.

True to her word, the Blush had a realistic skin-like feel, but that was about all this toy had going for it. The first thing I noticed about the Blush was that it had a highly strange and unpleasant scent, and no matter how many times I washed or aired the thing out, it didn't seem to diminish. Furthermore, the toy was far too flexible and unwieldy for me (not to mention a bit too large for a beginner). In fact, I believe that the Blush's main problem is its flexibility--it feels flaccid at best and I personally tend to work better with something that has a bit of stiffness to it and doesn't remind me of a jello-mold. It's difficult to insert, thrust with, and play with, even when you're using gravity to your advantage. Furthermore, it's a bit porous and hard to clean. (And note: it's only for use with water-based lubricants.)

I suppose that I should go over some of the pros of the toy: the Blush has a fun and artistic sort of look to it. I love how it's a clear-jelly blue with an airbrushed pink head to it. It's also completely waterproof so you can have fun in the shower or bath with it without having to worry. In fact, it's a bit better in the bath because the Blush tends to be a bit on the heavy side. That's about all I can say for the pros. I suppose it would make a good gag gift, as I took the Blush to be some sort of sad joke.

Needless to say, I was so unhappy with the Blush (I even gave it two or three more tries just to make sure it wasn't just me having an off day) that I deemed it unsalvageable and just threw it away.

Like I said, I tossed this toy into the garbage a few months ago and I really don't care. The only thing I regret is spending money on this thing.
