Magnum - dildo by Fun Factory - review by Isabel0329

I cannot say enough good things about this dildo. From the moment I saw it in the product listings I've been obsessed with it and it's been either at the top or near the top of my "most wanted" list. And let me tell you, it didn't fail to deliver.

First off, the best quality for me is that this dildo is silicone. I am slowly transitioning away from other materials and trying to go for materials that are completely sterilizable. Silicone is about the safest material you can use with your body. You can fully disinfect it by either boiling it for 3 minutes, bleaching it with a 10% bleach solution or putting it in the top rack of your dishwasher.

When using silicone toys, it is best to use them with water-based lubricants as silicone-based lubricants will break down the material and leave it gooey. A lot of people mention this, but do you know why this is? I had a lube manufacturer employee explain to me that it's because the molecule densities of the two silicone materials are not the same and they interact with each other, trying to blend to the same density. If you're concerned with ingredients in some lubricants, look for a paraben-free lubricant that is all natural. When I used this dildo I used Wet Original Water-based lubricant and also tried it with Wet All Natural lubricant.

The packaging this toy comes in is nice. It comes standing up in a box and I swear I've never seen as much text on a package. Multiple languages and excellent descriptions. Inside the box you'll find a sample packet of the Fun Factory Toy Fluid, their water-based lubricant. Also included is a pamphlet of "instructions" in every conceivable language and a fun handout on other Fun Factory products. I actually will keep the handout because it's nice to see every toy they make laid out in front of you like that. I have not tried the sample lubricant, so I can't speak to the properties of that.

Now onto the fun stuff - the actual dildo itself! I seriously cannot say enough good things about this dildo. When you first pick it up you notice that it's fairly stiff but still has some give to it and wiggle when you shake it. This allows the toy to have good thrusting power while not being hard or uncomfortable while doing so. The gentle curve to the shaft hit my g-spot perfectly and I felt it as soon as I inserted it in my vagina. Softly curved toys are my favorite and this one is no exception. The tip of the dildo is slightly bulbous like a real penis while still being non-anatomical. It's definitely non threatening and is a plus if you don't like very detailed or realistic dildos. Sometimes toy manufacturers go a bit overboard with the detail and their products come out looking scary. This dildo is definitely not scary. You'll want to cuddle it and sing its praises instead.

I really, really liked the base on this dildo. The rounded triangle shape makes for a great handle when you're thrusting and also is very stable if you want to stand it up on a flat surface when not in use. Because the base is pretty wide, it can also be used as a dildo in a strap-on harness (hence why it's in the category it is.) I tested it in my Latigo Leather harness and it fit rather well, though I do suggest getting a fairly large o-ring because the shaft of this dildo is a little thicker than what a standard issue strap-on harness o-ring might be. I have a metal cock ring that is 1 1/2" and it sits snuggly at the base of the shaft.

While I say the shaft is thicker than a standard issue o-ring might be, the shaft is not too thick. In fact it's just the right thickness and makes sure you feel it while not being to thick that it's uncomfortable. Because it's about as thick as a slightly thinner cock, it might be uncomfortable using it as an anal dildo for more inexperienced anal players.

It is important to note that when sharing dildos, even 100% silicone ones, you should always use condoms over toys and make sure to use a new condom when a different user is teeing up. In the long run your body will be much happier with you and you will prevent the spread of germs, disease and infection. Especially if you go from using this toy anally back to using it vaginally. Either wrap it up or use a condom.

Do I love this dildo? Oh my god yes. Would I recommend it? Unquestionably.
