Vicky Venus red white marbled - probe by Fun Factory - review by THUMPER

I used this toy vaginally first and really loved it! This toy felt like my first great fingering! I couldn't believe it! To get maximum pleasure from this toy, I'd recommend first thrusting gently to get used to it then experiment with twisting it and finding out which way really gets you going. It's also long enough and flexible enough to hit your G-spot. The base is flared, so you can use it for anal penetration without worry.

Next, it was time for some butt play (after a thorough cleansing of course!). This toy felt just as good anally as it did vaginally. The texture was a little much for me at first as I'm new to anal play, but it wasn't uncomfortable. After a little bit of very gentle thrusting, my partner started to move it around and play with the angles; it was awesome! The bumps and curves add the variety I was looking for. Penises are great, but if you are looking to experiment with some varied texture, this toy fits the bill. After another meticulous cleaning, I wanted to try this out with my partner. He's an anal play virgin, so I first warmed him up with the Tantus Small Silk. Once he was ready, I inserted the Vicky Venus. He loved it just as much as I did! I was extra slow and gentle with him, and after just leaving it in for a minute or two, I began slow, small thrusts. When he revved up, I started gently twisting and lengthening the thrusts. The best part is that he had his hands free to stroke his dick at the same time. This toy definitely opened our eyes to a new level of sexual play.

The Vicky Venus is a rippled, textured silicone probe manufactured by Fun Factory. This toy has a unique red/white marbled design that is very pleasing to the eye. The shaft of the probe is not an even diameter, but it is not a marked difference. One side of this probe has a series of three bumps in between two valleys. "Valleys" you say? That's the best way I can think of to describe it; there is a slight dip in the surface similar to what a tongue looks like folded up in a U shape although it's not that exaggerated. Get the picture? As I was saying, on the one side, there is a valley at the tip followed by three bumps (each within an inch of one another) and another valley at the base. The other side is a little smoother with a relatively solid tip, two bumps (spaced approximately 2 inches apart), and a small valley near the base. The base is wide (approx. 2”) and flat so it can stand up on its own.

Vicky Venus is soft yet firm. It has a lot of flexibility which makes it ideal to clench and release.

I'd definitely recommend a moderately-sized amount of water-based lube (we used Sliquid Sassy Booty) when playing with this toy; although the toy is smooth, it does have some drag. Remember that, when choosing your lube, do not use silicone-based lube as it will degrade your toy.

I love this toy because it is not overwhelming in either texture or girth. I think the size is perfect for most, if not all, body types and experience levels. I selected this toy because both my partner and I are new to anal play. This toy definitely delivered. The silicone is velvety soft, and the bumps are rounded nicely. The bumps have different locations as well as different sizes. I found that when either my partner or I inserted this probe, twisted it, and changed angles it gave a whole other dimension of sensation. It is long enough to hit all the right spots but not too long as to be painful or clumsy to handle. This toy is small enough to fit in your purse or carry-on luggage, so it's great to take on vacation.

Our next adventure was to experiment with a harness (I used the Mia-Z). The Vicky Venus fits great in the O-rings, and the base helped it to stay put. I must say that it was a lot of fun to penetrate my partner and give him a hand job at the same time. Watching him quiver in ecstasy was definitely amazing. During another session, I used the harness to penetrate my partner with the small Silk while I was filled with the Vicky Venus; at the moment, I cannot think of a word better than "awesome". This toy is waterproof, so this is great for solo or couples water play. I found out that another great way to use this on accident; while waiting for the tub to fill, I had this probe on the sink, and when I went to grab it, the base had suction-cupped the toy to the sink! I then stuck it to the tub and had my way with it; it was definitely a wet and wild experience.

This toy does gather lint, so be mindful of that when you store it. I don't keep it in the box because it takes up too much room. I simply fold it inside a t-shirt in my drawer.

It is very easy to take care of your Vicky Venus. Soap and hot water do the trick nicely. You can use toy cleaner though my personal preference is hot, soapy water.

Due to its wide base, you can simply wash this toy, and let it stand on its own to dry. I make sure to wash this toy prior to use to make sure I remove any lint. Obviously, make sure you really wash this toy well after each use. Take special care if you are switching between anal and vaginal penetration or between partners. If you don't want to keep running back and forth to the sink, you can use toy cleaner or use condoms between uses. Always make sure to wash this toy, and let it air dry before storing it - even if you use condoms.

It is worth repeating - DO NOT use silicone-lube with this toy. You wouldn't want to hurt your beautiful probe, now would you? I didn't think so; stick to water-based lube, and you and Vicky will be very happy together.

The Vicky Venus comes in a cardboard box with a plastic, see-through window. The box is definitely not discreet, but it is pretty cute. You can store the probe in its box, but I find that it takes up less space rolled in a t-shirt. It comes with a lube sample and a pamphlet showing other Fun Factory toys.

I was, and still am, very satisfied with this toy. I really like the versatility. Both men and women can have tons of fun with this toy when it is solo or coupled as it is or in a harness. The length and girth is perfect for a novice such as myself. This toy introduced me to a new area of play that I wasn't sure I'd be ready for; I guess you can call it my "gateway toy". I'm really happy with this toy, and I can't wait to do more experimenting. I haven't stuck it to the side of the shower, but I plan on trying that out soon! I would like to see how well (and how long) it sticks to the wall, so I can have some hands-free anal playtime in the shower.
