This was an awesome buy. My wrists have been popping when I give massages to my boyfriend. I woke him up to a massage with this, and he went back to sleep for another hour moaning in pleasure. Then, the cat got curious, so I massaged him too and I have never heard him purr so loud. It's a really great tool for tired wrists (my wrist have been making a popping sound), or for people like my boyfriend who are convinced they can't give massages. Now he has an easy way to give me one without the worry of if he's doing it correctly.

This massager is made out of purple food-grade, hypoallergenic, latex free, phthalates free plastic, which has a material safety rate on Eden of an 8. It's a see-though purple color, and the plastic doesn't have any hard or sharp edges from the process of being molded. It glides well over bare skin, but a little oil wouldn't hurt. It fit perfectly in my hand, and was so comfortable in my hand. It worked better than I was expecting, and I am sure this will be a favorite for relaxation.

Some of the reviewers before me suggested the use of a cock ring to make it vibrate -- I think this is a brilliant idea. It's cheap and lightweight. My boyfriend and cat love it! For my birthday, he gave me a massage with it, while it was a little uncomfortable over my boney shoulder bones, it still felt really good. Like any kind of massage, ask your partner or whoever you are giving a massage to what feel best to them, and ask them to tell you if anything is uncomfortable.

I just clean this with soap and water when I use oil, but the oil just wipes off on the skin. So, most of the time I just wipe it on my skin. The only weird part is that the head of the octopus is hollow, and sometimes oil and hair (because I use this on my cat) can get trapped inside. A little rinse with warm soapy water cleans it right out.

Awesome, I still use it all the time! My boyfriend likes to use it on me because he does not know how to give massages.
