Having tried (and loved) the original Share double ended dildo, I was a perfect candidate to receive and review the brand new Share XL from Fun Factory. Though it's packaged in the same box as the original Share, the Share XL is a creation all it's own. This double ended dildo is quite heavy and has an incredible girth on both the bulb and the shaft ends. In fact, the circumference is an astounding 5 1/2" (bulb) / 5 3/4" (shaft). The swirling ridges enhance this toy by adding a more rough ride, and also by stimulating the clit where the bulb and shaft meet. The shaft is not much longer, if at all longer, than the original Share's, measuring in at an insertable 6 3/4". The bulb isn't too far behind, having an insertable length of 4 1/4".

The first time I used the Share XL, I slid the bulb end inside simply to see if my muscles were strong enough to hold the weight of the toy. It was a snug fit, but I found I was able to hold and maneuver the shaft pretty easily. The shaft was a bit floppy, just like with the original, but held in steady by my pelvic floor muscles grip on the bulb. The second time I used it, I slid the shaft in and out using the bulb as a handle. (The bulb made a surprisingly effective handle.)

Proper care and clean up of the Share XL was a breeze. After play, I washed mine off with warm water and a mild soapy washcloth. I set it aside to air dry thoroughly before storing it away in my toy case. Thankfully, I've got a large toy case, because this is one of my larger toys. The box in which it came could also provide sufficient storage.

All in all, Fun Factory's upgraded Share XL exceeded my expectations and caused me to fall in love all over again with the colorful, body safe silicone swirls.
