Barney the happy purple dildo!
I am really happy I bought this toy even though I chose to use it vaginally rather than for anal stimulation. I wish it has a larger more sturdy base to calm my fears of a disappearing act during anal play. It is very pleasurable and is more than a tease. Even though it is small it can get the job done due to the good design and realistic shaping.Published: January 20, 2009
Pros:
Anti bacterial material, great color, realistic shape.
Cons:
Strong lingering scent, no base for anal use
I love you... you love me. That is how I feel about little Barney that I have had the pleasure of knowing for about a week now. When I decided to purchase this teeny dong I intended to use it as an anal toy, and eventually getting double penetration with this and the Ballsy dong from the same collection. When it arrived my mind was changed.
Lacking a large base I was not comfortable using this for anal play. It also looks a little to big around for me right now too. Condom use is possible with this toy and if you are using it anally I would recommend it. I decided even though I did not want to use it anally that I would test it out as a pussy teaser to get me warmed up for larger toys. Surprisingly this toy was a great fuck on its own. Even though it is skinny it felt really good and was a nice change of pace for me. I especially love using it for vaginal stimulation during oral sex.
With the realistic shaping and veining this is my recommendation for a small travel toy or beginner toy that is effective, discrete and attractive. The suction cup base does work on the side of a tub and I found it to be very sturdy when using it to ride hands free. The smaller length made it possible to take all of it and experience excitement not pain like most larger toys cause when trying to insert the entire cock.
It has the same smell issues that I have experienced with the other products I own from this line. It isn't horrible but when the description said scented, I expected a pleasant scent not just a strong weird scent. The color of this toy and sheen of the Gem's collection gives them an edge over other toys to me.
I like that the material has antibacterial properties all on its own. I clean before and after with warm water and soap. The only complaint is that it is a lint magnet, but washing before and condom use will combat this issue. For $9 you can't go wrong with this little guy.

Anal Started Differences?
-
QuestHi everyone,
I'm wondering about the two "Anal Starter" dildos.
When I compare them side by side, they show some different details, like the measurements.
But, when I switch between them in the 1:1-views, there's barely a difference besides the base a bit and the color of course.
So, are the details correct or are they really not different at all?
Besides, again, the color and the shape slightly.
I'd really like to know this, especially the correct measurements, it would help me out a lot. :) -

I would NOT recommend this product for anal play, but that is just my opinion. The base is not flared enough for my comfort level. If you wanted to stick low cost and with Doc Johnson, I'd suggest this one instead. The base is a bit more differentiated for the rest of it.
good luck! -
Quote: are you talking about the difference between the purple one and the green one?I agree with Mr. Sauce. Also, it would be best to go with a non-porous material like silicone.

Thank you for viewing Anal starter – dildo review page!



What material is this toy made from? And how large is it?
The suction cup worked well? Do you think that it would stay put if used anally too then?
Sucks about the smell!
It is SilaGel and it is about an inch wide and 4 or so long. The suction cup did work for vaginal pleasure but I am unsure about anal. I suppose it would depend on how ferocious you are when riding it. I still have concerns that it might get lost and slip in to far when used anally.
Thanks! It's a shame, it looks like those ridges would feel quite nice during anal play. So SilaGel has antibacterial qualities?! Wow.
Err properties I mean..
Sil-a-gel: Soft, super-smooth, and semi-porous, this material is completely anti-bacterial, limiting the risk of transferring bacteria. As well the non-toxic property makes it safe to use by most anybody. A major trait of Sil-a-Gel is the latex and cadmium free design. Cadmium is a metal known to cause cancer and used as a stabilizer in most PVC made products.
This is what is listed in the materials section here on the website. I just did a copy and paste. I thought it was really cool that it is made to be anti bacterial.
Definitely! Thanks for the info.
I laughed at you calling Barney a "great fuck". Good review and follow up - Thanks!
Hahaha! I totally laughed about Barney being a great fuck too! You just don't hear that everyday!
I'm surprised that for an anal beginner toy, the base wouldn't be flared because most beginners probably would not know? Odd. Thanks for the review!
