The Chubby "Gal Pal" was delivered in a discreet box. The toy itself is placed in an easy to open plastic shell by the manufacturer (California Exotic Novelties), and is listed as a Waterproof, Plushy Soft, and Multi-speed Tool. On opening, I only noticed a slight odor but it was far from overpowering. It is made of latex, which means it doesn't clean well. For longevity sake, use a condom over it each use. Cleaning should be done with mild soap and water, and never use alcohol or household cleaners. If you are going to use lubricants, which is recommended, use water or silicone based.

The texture is not as pronounced as shown in the photos. In fact, it almost has no texture at all. I could only feel slight ribbing near the top half of the toy. It also has a darker pink hue than in the photo.

I’m not sure of the longevity of the toy. Yet it is inexpensive, at around 15 dollars.

The feel of the toy in my hands was immediately inviting. It is soft and firm from just above the dial to about 3.5 inches up, where the vibrator is. Above that to the tip the latex gives more and it all snaps back into shape. It seems it would do well at filling me in all the right ways because it is yielding. The comfort factor seems certain.

It is 7 and 3/4 inch long, 5 inch circumference and 1.6 inch diameter near the top and 6.25 circumference and 2.0 inch diameter bottom (above the dial).

It takes two (2) AA batteries. There are no instructions which order to put them in, however it doesn’t seem to matter, as long one battery is negative up and one is positive up. I tried it both ways and it worked both ways. If the batteries are dying, the vibrations will be much less pronounced. The vibrations are moderate. The noise is low to moderate. When inserted into the body there is almost no noise, more of a subtle rumbling. Outside of the body and held without substantial pressure, the noise is more moderate.

I had fun trying it out. It actually reminded me of a toy I made when I was younger (before I found Eden Fantasys) that was no more than some balloons and plastic bags wrapped tight. This is obviously better but it made me nostalgic for the first times with sex toys. That is kind of weird. But I digress.

I used it anally and some might shudder at that idea, since there is barely a flare at the bottom. However I had no problem just holding onto the base and it never came close to being lost and I know the limits. It felt exactly as I expected: soft, comfortable and filling. It is flexible but not so much that it has any trouble entering. The slight curve in the shape and the moderation vibrations were able to reach my p-spot and send waves of vibrations through me; though I had to make sure the batteries were fully charged. It glides well.

It cleaned off with the typical soap and water. I did notice that when I took out the batteries after my first use there was some water that seeped into the battery compartment. Upon second use, I found no water. So without an O-ring, make sure that the cap it secured tightly.
