To be honest, my first response to this bad boy was "Holy cow!" I had read what the size was on the website, but I didn't realize how big it would really be. But I'll get to that later. Piece of advice: If you're a woman who is intimated by larger size toys, don't let that dissuade you from buying this one. It's absolutely amazing - like a stress toy to the extreme! It has powerful vibrations with 10 different functions including pulsation and escalation. Like I told my hubby when we first got it, it's going to be hard to pick a favorite! It's also waterproof and although I generally don't use toys in water, we are going on our very belated "honeymoon" this weekend and our room has a whirlpool in it, so I'm definitely going to give it a try.

The best feature of this toy is the fact that it's bendable in any direction which makes it wonderful for clitoral stimulation if you prefer that over insertion. The material is silky and squishy and feels incredible. Another interesting feature is that is has a memory chip that "remembers" the last function used and resumes that particular function when it is turned on the next time. That will be great when (or if) I ever pick a favorite!

Here's a synopsis of the claims on the packaging it comes in:
"10 sensational functions of vibration, escalation and pulsation." - Very true. Powerful. Lots of fun options.
"Pure skin material. No powder needed." - True. Wonderfully soft and silky.
"Waterproof for fun in and out of the water." - Haven't tried it yet in the water, but looking forward to it.
"Flexes and moves with you." - True. Bends in any direction. Easy to flex it.
"Amazing life-like feel." - Oh, yes. It's incredible!
"Powerful motor located in tip." - I assume this is true, although the vibrations are powerful enough to be felt just as well throughout the entire toy.
"Quiet, flexing vertebrae allows bending in any direction" - So true! (The quiet I assume in this statement is regarding the vertebrae and not the motor.)
"Soft PureSkin Material feels like the real thing and is maintenance free." - True.
"Soft, ribbed design for extra sensations" - Definitely ribs there. Not hugely textured, but I generally use externally anyway (especially this big guy), so I can't say for sure if these make a difference internally.
"Auto off button with state of the art memory chip that resumes vibrations on the same function." - A really wonderful idea - if I can ever choose a favorite setting that I want to stick with (not likely). Great, though, if you accidentally push the "off" button when in use. You can quickly pick right up where you left off without having to scroll through to find the function you were using.

This wonderful fella is made from TPR/Pure Skin. It has an incredibly silky soft texture - smooth to the touch - and actually does feel a lot like a real penis. It is very squishy - much like a stress toy - which it really is if you know what I mean. Right after I received this, I was on the phone with my cell phone company trying to get my bill straightened out and I was squeezing the head of my new toy to help counter the frustration I was feeling! The head is super squeezable. The shaft contains the bendable spine surrounded by the squishy skin. It is subtly ribbed. I don't really notice it much, but it's there. Again, I generally only use toys externally so ribbing doesn't make much of a difference for me. It is phthalate free and hypoallergenic.

There was a very slight odor upon removal from the box, but only up close and not overwhelming at all.

The shape is obviously phallic so you won't pass this off as something innocent should one of your kiddos or a guest catch a glimpse. As I mentioned before, it is larger than you might expect. The length is approximately 9" including the plastic control end. The "squishy" part is approximately 7" with it being insertable to around 5 1/4" or so. It is 2 1/5" in diameter and approximately 5 1/4" circumference. I'm glad I did not see it in a store first or I probably would not have gotten it due to the size. I would have missed out on a wonderful toy! Even if you don't like insertable toys, it is a great clitoral stimulator as well. This is due to the bendable feature of it. It says it's bendable in any direction and it really is. Even during intercourse, you can lay it on your pelvic area and kind of bend it around to reach your clitoris. Not only is this easier on your hand, it is much more effective than having to hold a straight, rigid toy up at an angle to reach the clitoral area. Using this toy I was able to experience my second orgasm ever during the actual act of lovemaking. I'm one of those women who need clitoral stimulation to "get there" and most toys just do not do the trick while in the midst of things. This one did! And I expect it to quite often because it's going to get tons of use!

The toys claims the motor is situated in the tip (the head), but the vibrations are quite strong throughout the whole toy (a good thing). The plastic end (the base) of the toy resembles a twist-off cap. It looks kind of bizarre, but you'll get past then when you use this toy. There are 2 buttons on the base. One turns the toy on and off and the other scrolls through the functions. There is an LED light here so you can see the buttons even in the dark.

The controls are convenient and easy to use, although when you're in the midst of things and want to change the function, it's very easy to push the wrong button and turn it off instead. And it is fairly easy to bump the buttons as well. Even just trying to put it back in the box, it kept bumping against it and turning on.

The box states that this toy is quiet, but out of all the similar toys I have, this has to be the noisiest. You won't get away with using it discreetly. It makes a pretty noticeable buzzing sound.

It is waterproof although I haven't had a chance to use it in water yet. But soon!

It requires 3 AAA batteries. There is a removable holder inside the toy that the batteries go into. You have to push them in pretty hard and I suspect removing them won't be all that easy. I had to play with it a bit to get everything in right. The holder then slips into the toy. The compartment is located at the base. The plastic piece that looks like a twist-off cap does just that - twists off. It is easy to open and close and stays closed well.

This toy is very easy to clean with soap and water or a water-based toy cleaner. I do use the box that it came in to store it for now until I find something better. I would recommend water-soluble lubes for this toy.

The toy arrived in a clear plastic box covered with illustrations and all kinds of tags relating to the finer points of the product. It can be used for storage, but it isn't the ideal storage box. The toy was easy to remove from the box. There were no instructions, but it's easy enough to figure out with some playing.
