The newest addition to California Exotic Novelties’ Couture Collection is the Compagnia- a double-ended probe made from seamless Japanese medical quality silicone. The Compagnia can be used alone or with a friend.

The packaging is an unimpressive thin cardboard box with a picture of the Compagnia on it. Honestly, the packaging looked like something we picked up in a low priced discount store and left much to be desired. Only the double-ended probe was in the box, although no instructions are really necessary as the probe itself is pretty self-explanatory.

The Compagnia is 13.25 inches long, 1.5 inches at the widest point and 5.25 inches in circumference. It is well balanced and weighs a comfortable 10.8 oz. What initial stands out is its high quality silicone, which is silky soft to the touch. The silicone material makes the Compagnia completely waterproof, non-porous and easily washable with a little soap and water or toy cleaner. Be sure only to use water-based lubricants as silicone or even oil-based lubes can damage the silicone material. One drawback to the silicone is its static cling. The Compagnia seems to pick up every little lint particle and stray hair that comes within six inches of it. Luckily, a little soap and water washes it right away and you don’t have to pick at the hair or lint pieces like you might a rubber or gel dildo. The seamless design has gradually twisting ribs reminiscent of an elongated screw to add some interesting texture to the probe. The Compagnia is firm yet flexible and the silicone gives a little bit at the tips and the center and a lot more in the middle parts. Also, it is able to bend into a semi-circle providing multiple uses for this naughty couple.

I have found it to be great for solo use especially in the bathtub. I believe that its length is great to use as an extended handle for firm thrusting movements. I especially enjoyed it when my fiance slowly twists the probe while it is inside of me, feeling the ribs rub me in all the right ways. The ribs, however, can become irritating for sensitive users if thrust in and out too much. We also feel that the probe could be longer- not because its length is not already fulfilling (it is) but it is certainly not long enough for double penetration on the same person, that is. I think my fiance purposely got the Compagnia in pink (it also comes in black) to encourage me to invite a friend over for some girl on girl time… we’ll see, dear. Additionally, with lots of lube, the probe is quite daunting for anal play and is probably not for anal beginners, though more experienced anal lovers would also appreciate the extended length for solo reach arounds.

Overall, the Compagnia is pretty satisfying and you cannot go wrong with its waterproof silicone design. However, we don’t think we would place this toy amongst our top sexual objects to use in our daily rotation.

Its been a while since we have actually used this dildo. It actually sits there more as a reminder of sometimes too much can be worse than too little.

Still haven't had a chance to have the Mrs. use this with another girl. Perhaps it might be more satisfying for that purpose. However, as things stand its more of large show-piece.

Though I do have an idea that this might work really well with the Liberator Wing. It might be a little large but I think that moving slightly higher might take care of that problem. Might even allow more movement when trying DP with the Liberator wing. No more accidental dildo pop-outs!
