I have both the vibrating and non vibrating realistic dongs from the Don Wand company, and while they are the same model with just the difference of the added vibrations, there are several differences between the two. For starters, even though it is supposed to be the same measurements, the vibrating dong is slightly larger, a bit more girthy, and longer at the tip. I think this is due to the motor inside of the tip. Either way, while the non-vibrating model was easy for me to take, the added bit of girth and length to this one made it a little less enjoyable for me. I do believe it would suit a size queen best, and is not for the weak of heart... or vagina. If you are looking for the ultimate realistic sensation, then look no further. This toy feels more real than any toy I have ever tried. The realistic Sil-a-gel will also hold a temperature, so it will work nicely for temperature play.

The material of this is Sil-A-Gel, which has antimicrobial qualities, but is still only a 5 on the safety scale. It will easily pick up and attract lint, debris, dust, etc. So, keep it clean or use a condom. Definitely use a condom if you have intentions of sharing this toy, or to use it anally. It IS latex and cadmium free, which is awesome! The one bad thing about this material is the SMELL. I keep it in my nightstand by my bed, and if the drawer has been left open, I can literally smell the chemical/rubber smell as soon as I walk in the room. It also leaves the scent on my skin, which I cannot stand. With the non vibrating version, this was not as pronounced, and wore off after a few uses, but it is definitely clinging to this version. However... the material does achieve its goal, it is very realistic feeling. It has just the right give, and flex to it, to make it feel like a real cock. It has some pretty realistic veining on it, and the paint job is pretty realistic as well. I am also really disappointed with the taste, it tastes just as bad as it smells, which stinks, because one of the reasons we love realistic toys is because my husband loves to watch me blow them, plus it helps you train for deep-throating. This toy, however, gets nowhere near the back of my throat, sadly.

I do like the shape and design of this toy, though it will not be for all. There is a prominent dip between the head of the penis and the shaft, which may be uncomfortable for some. I personally like it, because it adds texture, but I can see where it might not be for everyone. I was a bit upset that it was larger than I expected. I figured it would be inch for inch with the non-vibrating, but as I stated, the motor in this makes it slightly larger. It is supposed to only be 8" long, but mine is about 8 and 3/4". The circumference is supposed to be 6" and mine is 6 1/2". While it seems like that is not much of a difference, believe me, it is. This toy is NOT discreet at all, as I stated above I keep it in my room, in the red pouch provided, tucked safely away in my toy drawer. Which, I might note, it takes up a considerable amount of room in.

There is a motor in the upper shaft portion of this vibrator, which was surprisingly strong. It will still only get 3 vrooms from me, but I am impressed that it conducted so well through the thick material. Another awesome quality was that while it was more concentrated in the head, the vibrations could easily be felt down the entire shaft, and even lightly in the balls. It comes, unfortunately, with a plug in adapter, so it is not hands free. However, I feel the cord is long enough that it will not hinder. I have never had a problem with it falling or being pulled out, and the controls are simple enough. There is a small dial on the side, which you just turn up or down to fine tune it to the level of vibration you want. It doesn't get any simpler. It is very quiet, surprisingly, for its strong vibrations. With the toy fully inserted, I could barely hear the hum. It runs off three triple A batteries, and I have yet to have to change them, so I would say it is not a battery guzzler, but I do recommend rechargeable batteries.

The toy comes with a small red bag for storage, which unfortunately does not fit very well. I have to slightly bend the toy and put it in at an angle to get it completely concealed in the bag. Also, the bag itself is not discreet, since it is stamped all over with the Don Wands logo, which seems to kind of nullify the point of the storage bag. Also, red fibers from the bag are easily attracted to the Sil-a-gel material. As for after care, this toy can not be sterilized, but is easy to clean with mild soap and water. The antimicrobial feature prevents bacteria from transferring, but still, make sure you clean it before and after each use because it does pick up stuff easily.
