Mr. Softie has such a lifelike and realistic feel that he easily suits anyone's fancy in just about any setting that doesn't require modesty or discretion, whether that be for solo play or amongst multiples. His highly effective suction cup makes him adhere to almost any desired surface, like chairs, tables, walls, or showers, for example, but also allows him to be quickly installed in an O-ring for harnessed strap-on play. The comfortable size of 6-1/4" length and 4-1/2" girth allows for a very pleasant and carefree experience no matter which hole you choose; you can slide him in with teasing precaution, or you can bounce up and down without having to tap out!

Although the texture did maintain a synthetic nature, the veined surface, alongside its weight and flexibility, highly exceeded expectations of whether or not this item would feel realistic. His center is solid and firm but still soft enough to squeeze with a shockingly lifelike imitation of a penis, so he could be enjoyed by any user from beginner to advanced. Personally, I like when a man rubs or lightly slaps his cock on my clitoris for foreplay and arousal, so the fact that this dildo can mirror that type of teasing makes me a very happy camper.

If I had one suggestion for the overall design of Mr. Softie it would definitely be the addition of testicles at the base of the shaft. That's really the only thing that it is lacking from being as realistic as humanly possible. Since most black dildos tend to be grossly oversized and dramatic, it was very humbling to see this item in a nice mid-sized range that allowed for use in a more casual and comfortable manner, especially for users who are starting out at a beginner level. It's also honorable to mention that the fact that this piece doesn't have testicles does actually allow for discreet use depending on the circumstances or what is desired. (I could definitely get a kick out of making one of my beta boys keep this held inside while they wore girl panties and did household chores in front of guests.)

The strength of the suction cup was hands down the most impressive aspect about Mr. Softie. Actually, if you have time to go and watch the video review that I have posted for this item, then you'll be able to see just how surprised I was. On the other hand, I wasn't as impressed when I used him in my harness because the cup was a tad bit too flimsy to really stay secure within the O-ring. I think if I had a different type of harness, this wouldn't have been such an issue, but my harness and Mr. Softie just really didn't see eye-to-eye. Back on the positive notes, though, I'll mention again how he is made of TPR material that is nonporous, doesn't harbor bacteria, and is easily washed with soap, the dishwasher, or some EF toy cleaner. That also means that he is hypoallergenic and latex-free, ladies and gentlemen!

Seeing as most of the toys that I have dealt with in my experience have always been approving of water-based lubricant but usually aren't approving of silicone-based lubricant, I'm going to highly recommend to play it safe and just go with the water-based lube. This method hasn't steered me wrong yet, but to each their own, really.

Personally, when it comes to cleaning and storage, I treat this black dildo as I do any type of toy that is made from realistic materials: wash with soap/water, pat dry, spray/wipe down with EF toy cleaner, rinse, pat dry again, cover with cyberskin powder to preserve the lifespan of the toy, and store in its own individual Ziploc storage bag. Speaking from personal experience, ALWAYS remember that TPR needs to be kept separate from all other toys because it will deteriorate from contact with other toys! I have literally had toys melt together in a big disgusting mess like gummy bears do when you leave them in a car on a hot day; believe me, it's not pretty!

The packaging was very plain within a sealed clear bag that contained no instructional manual whatsoever. If the bag wouldn't have ripped, I would have just kept it for future storage of the product, but I accidentally mutilated the bag when I was unpacking, so that was out of the question.

Here is a quick demonstration of where Mr. Softie scores on the "Paper Towel Roll Test" in length and girth:
