Love rider - dildo by Cal Exotics - review by Red Riding Hood

The Love Rider is a double-ended dildo that has many wonderful uses. It's great for a person who wants a "two toys in one" feel or someone who intends to share this with a partner. Angled just right, it's ideal for use with "tribbing" or girl to girl action. That said, it's also fantastic for adventurous heterosexual partners who are looking for strapless strap-on fun. Being made of silicone, it's suitable for all of these purposes and easy to clean which makes it ideal for anyone that isn't a beginner. A major plus is the ability to use it as a vaginal exerciser!

I wasn't thrilled with the fact that this product wasn't cushy as I had hoped, but that didn't stop me from loving the material. I WOULD like a softer toy, but it was firm enough to offer something that was easy to control. The outside texture is absolutely wonderful and has a great silky feel to it. One of the problems I have with cheaper materials is that they dry out any moisture, be it natural or lubricant that was purchased. The Love Rider's texture holds onto that moisture and feels divine. I didn't have to use any lubricant at all for vaginal use and when I used it for anal, I didn't have to keep reapplying lube like I usually do. Again, with the firmness of this toy, it's not realistic at all in my opinion. I feel it's way too firm to feel like a real penis. It did end up growing on me. It was the combination of size and texture that made it uncomfortable, but the material is really wonderful.

It had absolutely NO odor. NONE. No plastic, fruity, processed smell or taste. That was the first thing I noticed when I opened the package. Smells usually don't bother me with most toys because they usually fade after a short time. That said, it was nice to crack open something new and the entire room not smell like rubber sex toy or something like that.

This toy has an amazing design and shape. It's smooth and angled just right for all of its functions. Using it as a standard dildo is fun because it's curved. I rocked a bit on it and the other side hit my clitoris perfectly! I was amazed. The shape of the shaft on the longer end is so smooth and has wonderful curves in the right places, so it glides nicely and doesn't have uncomfortable friction. It's a bit big for my liking, but I still found that I liked it. Especially the smaller end. It's not realistic in any way because to me it didn't feel natural and it certainly doesn't look natural. But this can be a good thing for ladies (or gentlemen) who don't want what looks like a disembodied penis in their toy drawer. Since it doesn't have a vibrator in or on it, it's quiet (As long as you are) and COULD travel well if you were creative with storage. It's not super tiny and I don't think it's that discreet, but if you can be crafty in the transportation of this item, I suppose it could be suitable for travel.

This thing is amazing despite the ONE thing I didn't like about it. What's this "one thing" you ask? Well, as I mentioned before, it's not very flexible. Using the smaller side felt wonderful until I tried to move around. Instead of gentle pressure on my gspot, it sometimes felt like it was grinding way too hard against my pelvic bone. I'm very petite and run into this problem a lot where thicker toys or toys that are hard or firm just feel uncomfortable. Once I had it in for awhile longer, it felt quite nice. The longer side was simply a bit bigger than what I like and am used to. Don't take that as me saying it's a bad product. On the contrary, it's a WONDERFUL product. It just takes some time getting used to using it and finding what works best for you.

I also found that it was nicely effective as a vaginal exerciser. The weight is challenging, but it's not so bad once you've had it inserted for a couple minutes. After a couple days it became much easier. That said, it's also fantastic as a hands-free toy and of course a strapless-strapon. That's where it actually comes in handy to be so firm. It's a VERY sturdy product and the texture is what makes it easier to work with when being used for more than just a regular dildo. That said, I LOVED the texture for anal play and it hit all of the right spots without grinding into my pelvic bone. So, the ONE little downside isn't enough for me to dislike the product. If you do decide that it may take a few more exercise sessions to use this strapless, you can use it with a strap-on to make it easier.

Being silicone, it's SUPER easy to care for this toy. To clean it, you can use a bleach solution, boil, throw it in the dishwasher or just wash with soap/toy cleaner and water. Be sure to rinse well. I let it sit to air dry before putting it back up. Also, remember that you cannot use silicone lube on this thing. You don't want your new friend to melt away!

I was also pleased to notice that although it DOES attract lint and dust, it doesn't seem to attract it AS MUCH. This was a blessing because I always feel like I have to work extra hard at finding a good hiding place for my toys because they all have a tendency to get super fuzzy! As far as storage, I just keep it in the box it came with. It's simple and keeps it from getting creases or anything like that. It also makes it easier to stack other toys on top of and whatnot.

This comes in a plastic shell which is inserted in a plastic box. This keeps it in place instead of rattling around a lot, which I liked a lot. There are no inserts, but the box has cleaning instructions and details about the product. I personally think the information that's provided is sufficient and easy to understand. I use this box for storage because I like the little shell that is in it. It keeps my toy perfectly protected and is easy to stack with other toy boxes that I have.
