This could easily be used by a beginner learning to take a bit larger toy. This toy is 6 inches insertable length (7.5 inches total) and 5 inches in girth at it's widest point so it is a bit larger than some toys but because of its squishy silicone and bendable shaft, it is more friendly to the beginner.

The shaft does not retain it's shape, so if you are looking for a toy that does, this one is not for you. However, the bending shaft is very nice for insertion because it makes the toy a little bit more realistic and less scary than a rock hard toy would be for those new to the game.

The toy is good for both internal and clitoral stimulation, as the motor is centralized near the tip. This makes it a bit more versatile and can definitely please a lot of ladies! It is good for any playtime, but I would not recommend it for anal play because while it may have a bit of flare at the base it is not large enough to protect you from the toy being lost.

The silicone used on this toy has a matte finish and it has quite a bit of drag so you may need to use some lube with this toy. I've particularly noticed it in the shower. You'll want to, of course, only use water based lube to protect you and your toy.

The toy is completely odorless - though it naturally smells like silicone if you put your nose up against it, which is otherwise unnoticeable. There is also no taste at all. And the toy is not textured.

The Climax Silicone EZ Bend has a somewhat realistic shape to it with a rounded head and a ridge at the bottom that mimics the artery. However it does not have any added veins or bumps, etc that you may find on other "realistic" toys. This would be a very good toy then for those who want a realistic shape without all the realistic textures.

The toy is a very realistic and average size as well, as I mentioned above it is 6 inches insertable and 5 inches circumference (or 1.5 inches diameter). It is still small enough to be safe for travel and is easily hidden in a toy box or drawer.

A dial base is how you operate this toy which gives you a steady progression from low to high. The vibrations of this toy are pretty powerful and hold up VERY well to pressure. The toy does not get any louder or squeal when pressure is applied. The toy is also not very loud and can be discreetly used under the covers with a closed door and nobody will be the wiser.

I will note that when you get the toy you will want to play with the dial base. It can be very sticky (hard to turn) when it arrives but if you spend a good five minutes playing with it, it will loosen up. I can now turn mine on and up with a flick of my finger, though I do need two hands to turn it back off.

The vibrations are very consistent throughout the body of this toy and even when fully inserted can still be felt at the base of the toy.

This toy is completely waterproof and submergible.

According to the booklet that comes with the toy you can boil this toy or even put it in the dishwasher. (You can also microwave or freeze it if you would like to use it for temperature play.) You can also just use some warm water and anti-bacterial soap or toy cleaner, which is what I do. Air dry or use a lint-free clean towel to dry. Because it is silicone it will attract all manner of hair and fibers and lint so you will want to wash and dry this toy before and after every use.

The toy does come with a small bag, but because it is on the cheap end you probably won't want to use it. I tested it out and when I pulled out the toy after 30 seconds it had a hundred little pink fibers on it. I am currently storing it in the original packaging, but a lint free bag or toy chest would work well too.

I really liked the packaging for this toy, which is odd coming from me - I don't usually. But the toy comes in a plastic box that is transparent and a molded plastic sleeve inside holds the toy firmly in place. The toy also comes with a small booklet on a silver band that is used to close the top of the box and it has some information about the silicone used for this particular item. The box itself has information on the front and back including battery and care instructions.

There is the chance of the seams on the top and bottom of this toy to be a little pronounced. This varies from toy to toy depending on how well it was buffed. On mine there is a bit of seam protruding on the front base and at the very tip but nowhere else on the toy. I've heard that some have a bit more noticeable seam on the bottom ridge but this does not affect performance, at all, and is not noticeable when inserted.

I was really excited about getting this toy because I enjoy the semi-realistic look and feel of it. I enjoyed how flexible and squishy the silicone is and that the toy can bend, but was somewhat disappointed it didn't retain the shape. Nevertheless this is a great toy and I'm very glad I added it to my collection. The vibrations are high enough for me (I'm a bit of a power queen) to get off with and that is not easy to come by in such a nicely designed toy. This toy is my new favorite!
