The King Rocky dildo by the JoyDivision line called Joystick, was definitely a surprise to me. I had no idea what the specs were, and found nothing when I looked up the company name. All I knew was that a black, interestingly shaped black dildo was coming.

The box was very reassuring. Apparently, the company is, self-assuredly, "one of Europe's largest and most successful manufacturer of sensual-erotic lifestyle products." While they do have an interesting array of dildos in their product line, they also make kegel balls, cleaning solution for toys, "soft" tampons (they look very interesting.. I'd never heard of such a thing!), massage oils and candles, and bunch of lubes and gels. In the box was also a little pamphlet on their Joyballs that looked intriguing. There are seals of approval from TUV, that tested for harmful substances, and the pamphlet says the Joyballs are "recommended by gynecologists and midwives". There was a small package of AQUA glide water-based, medical lubricant gel, which also looked promising. Also, it comes with a nifty silver carrying pouch made of a sort-of silky material which makes it pretty easy to travel with. But, onto the main event!

This dildo is about 8.5 inches in length, with 7 inches that are insertable "100% medical silicone". It is water-resistant, which to me means you can wash it safely, but may not want to fully submerge this toy in bath-time adventures. It is phthalates free and hypoallergenic. It is mostly smooth to the touch, as silicone is, and almost totally odor free. I actually sniffed it and just got a very faint scent of something plastic-y.

It takes 2 AA batteries to make this toy go, and on the bottom of the toy is a simple on-off dial. There is only one setting, it does not change vibration patterns. Turned on all the way, I think it sounds quieter than a cell phone vibrating. I set the "Bee" to 2, as I actually tried putting the toy under covers and closing the door. You can hear it through a closed door, but you need to be paying attention for a faint humming sound, and I doubt most people would do that for long.

The King is designed to rock worlds in a variety of ways. From the head down there are 3 sort of levels or curves to get in, including the bumpy area that circles are to the back a little. At the widest point, the King Rocky is about 5 and a quarter inches in diameter. The front side is about 2 inches wide, and the side is a little over 1.5 inches wide. The bumps on the front add for clit stimulation as well, and the vibrations are strong in that area. The vibes are weakest near the base of the toy, but seem pretty consistent through the rest of the dildo.

I'm not totally sure yet is King Rocky is my new favorite, but it's definitely a good, safe, solid toy for the collection!
