When I first got the pillow, it was wrapped up in a package in a small box. I was a bit surprised because I expected a bigger package to accommodate the pillow, but I realized it was an inflatable one. I wish that had been clearer on the website, and the descriptions of the other inflatable pillows are really clear. I blew up the pillow myself, which took about 10 minutes maximum. Not long at all. The pillow has a soft/suede-like covering which is really soft, and since it's thin, it's not too hard to clean, but it becomes obvious when it gets wet. The pillow came a bit dusty, so I definitely cleaned it up with a quick vacuum over the material.

The hole in the pillow actually goes through the entire pillow. However, it gets tight in the middle and feels like it's two separate holes. My toys were actually really snug inside the pillow and were tight, which was a great thing and served the purpose of the pillow. The hole is about as long as my pinky finger both ways, so not very big at all. The pillow is about 3 feet or longer. It's a good size definitely, bigger than the width of a TWIN size bed.

The toy is easily portable, which is really, really nice. I can deflate it easily and take it anywhere I go -- to hotels, with friends, etc. I like that it's inflatable.

You could even use it as a pool toy for vanilla purposes and then dry it up with a vacuum and outside (which worked well in my experience). The kids had a lot of fun smacking each other with the pillow, too. I appreciate the dual usage.

I still like the toy. However, it's a bit useless after a few tries. You will get bored of it and will find no use in it, especially since it's inflatable and not a plush-style pillow. The material also makes it difficult to clean, so you feel less tempted to use the toy.

One good thing about the toy is that for solo use -- it's discreet for holding your dildo in place and riding on top of it. It's a bit shaky, so you have to hold it tight between your legs which can be a bit annoying.

It's a great invention and quirky addition to your inventory, but if you're looking for a more practical toy, then this could or could NOT be it. It depends on how thoroughly you will use the toy and what benefits you see from it.
