This adorable little octopus is a great choice for adding to any massage experience. Easily held in anybody's hand and working well with pretty much any massage lubricant you can think of, there's really no downside to this little guy except that he only comes as a purple octopus. Seriously, you can even add vibrations by using a vibrating cock ring.

Packaging is pretty minimal, being just a plastic bag and a tag wrapped around his neck.

Mr. Octopus himself is made out of a really neat purplish plastic. Ok, so the plastic isn't all that neat, but you'll have to try to destroy this guy. What's really neat, at least to me, is the color. I'd describe it as something along the lines of periwinkle, not quite being purple, but not quite being blue either. The fact that he's transparent rather than opaque makes him take up less visual space, so he seems smaller than he really is. He's built very solidly, appearing to be molded entirely in one piece with a hollow section up his body and into his head, keeping him very lightweight.

While he may seem smaller than he really is, at least visually, he definitely doesn't fail to deliver. He's only 4" tall and his head has a circumference of about 5 1/2", making him easy to grip by big hands and small hands alike. His 8 tentacles each curve downward slightly, "propping" Mr. Octopus up and giving the receiver 8 little pinpoint massages all at once. From arm to arm underneath, he measures about 4", covering a wide area the whole time.

Cleaning, storage, maintenance, and all that jazz is super easy. First, feel free to use whatever massagey lubricant you want; lotions, oils, even lubricants! Pretty much anything that's safe to use for massage on your body can be used with Mr. Octopus. To clean him off, just use some soap and water. You don't have to worry about hiding him, since his mildly surprised face isn't anything even remotely resembling risqué, but he does tuck away in a drawer fairly easily.

I'm pretty bony, so sometimes this can be a little painful on my back. However I've found that it feels pretty fantastic over a shirt and sweatshirt. My husband can apply enough pressure to really be felt in a great way, while at the same time not messing with my bony back.

My husband's back is a little more plush, so we haven't had any problems with this on him. He enjoys all of the little tentacles as a nice change from the Contour M, which is also a fantastic product, but everything has its place.

Mr. Octopus is also great for all over massages, and feels really great anywhere there's a little bit of natural padding.
