The belle - dildo discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by Bon Bon

I bought The Bell to transform my sex life. That may sound hyperbolic, but let me explain; my husband and I suffer from a common sexual issue. That is, I want to have sex for long periods of time, whereas he has issues lasting longer than thirty minutes. I feel flattered, really, but this sometimes leaves me unsatisfied. I asked for The Bell so that he would be able to strap it on after finishing, and we could continue, and it has been the perfect solution; this is an excellent, and little thought of, use for this product.

I was very pleased with The Bell and would recommend it to anyone looking for a slightly-larger-than-average dildo for vaginal use. However, I would not recommend The Bell for anal use; while it is flared at the bottom, it will probably be too large for most instances of anal play.

The Bell is made of silicone and therefore an incredibly safe toy. I did not encounter any strange smells other than the typical silicone-smell, stronger upon first opening the box. The silicone taste is slightly strange but not unlike other silicone toys I have used and not overwhelming.

As for texture, there are no seams, and only a slight ridge at the base. This is a not a realistic toy, and it does not feel realistic. The silicone makes it quite firm and slightly hard; there have been a couple of instances where it goes too deep or hits the vaginal wall in a weird way, causing a slight pain (user error, not a problem with the toy itself). I recommend adequate lubrication and excitement before use, as it is larger than your average penis at 7" insertable length and slightly wider at the base, too. A beginner should be comfortable with The Bell, but someone looking for a larger dildo may want to keep searching.

As for the ability to strap on, it is O-ring as well as Vac-U lock compatible. I personally have both the O-ring waist strap on as well as the thigh strap on with a pouch for a vibrating bullet. This works well in both of my harnesses.

For cleaning, pop it in the dish washer or wash with soap and water.

I am thoroughly pleased with this product.
