The Sugar was the first dildo I ever bought to use with my partner. She was very hesitant to insert something in her, so I needed to choose something innocuous. The Sugar fit the bill. She had trouble fitting myself into her, as I'm of the Magnum Condom size and she was quite tight, so I thought the Sugar would be a good size since it's maximum diameter is smaller than mine.

The sugar arrived in a thin frosted plastic box, giving it a subtle, modern presentation. Inside, the dildo sat on it's little clear acrylic stand, nicely cradling the curve of the dildo. Interesting, but pointless I thought. We weren't going to be displaying it on a table after all. The dildo looked bigger in hand than you'd be led to believe by the pictures and dimensions.

Take note that the silicone used for the Sugar is very stiff (high durometer for those of us who feel like getting technical). It flexes at the thinnest section in the rear, but otherwise has practically no give when you press in on it with a finger. The surface is also slicker than other silicone dildos, so it may not be a perfect choice if you like feeling some texture.

The results of it's use with my partner were less than stellar, but not necessarily through the fault of the Sugar. After applying a generous amount of lube I inserted the tip and started a slow and gentle in-and-out motion while rubbing her clit, slowly trying to push in a bit further as I went along. The angled handle section of the Sugar works nicely either when holding it yourself or using on someone else. Although it was quite pleasurable for my partner, the stiffness made her unable to truly relax and get past the widest section in the center. She felt the need to take a break after some use with it.

So after removing it, there I am holding a dildo dripping in sex. Where do I put this thing down without making a mess?! I look around and notice the acrylic cradle. Genius. I quickly change my mind from thinking the stand was pointless, to wondering why other high quality dildos can't include one for such a situation.

Though my partner didn't take very well to the Sugar, I believe it remains a good toy. You'll have to decide for yourself though what kind of insertion sensations you enjoy. Would you enjoy the feeling of something very stiff, but smooth and slippery sliding in and gradually getting thicker, or would you rather stick to softer constant-diameter toys? It's simply a matter of preference.

With a completely smooth silicone surface the Sugar is a breeze to clean, and can be laid on that 'useless' stand to dry.

As a guy, and actually more open to exploring anal fun than my partner was, I did try to use it on myself. The stiff silicone made it difficult to relax on, so although I enjoyed the feeling of sliding in-and-out the first couple inches, there's no way I'd ever get around the wide middle section. Unless you already know you can easily take some girth in your ass, don't expect to be able to easily slide the Sugar all the way in.
