Amor - dildo by Fun Factory - review by kadytheredpanda

Whether it was a banana, a cucumber, a marker, or a specially made sex toy, chances are that you have used something as a dildo. It is the absolute most basic sex toy possible: a phallic type object used for vaginal (and sometimes anal) penetration.

Dildos can be made of various materials, from wood to metal to glass and so on. In this review's case, Fun Factory's Amor dildo is made of hand-poured silicone. Silicone is among one of the most body safe materials and can be sanitized through boiling in a pot for three minutes or with your typical toy cleaner(s). (Since my college's dorms lack kitchens (and privacy, at that), I just wipe the toy with baby wipes before and after use.) Silicone-based lubes, however, can eat away at silicone material, so only use water-based lubes with your silicone toys.

Amor is available in pink, orange, and black. There was also a limited edition rainbow coloring that is the exact same dildo, only it's, uh, rainbow colored and much more expensive than the normal Amors. The silicone is soft but firm, in that it's not too floppy and it can stand on its own without risk of tipping over. The base is wide enough for you to use it for anal without risk of getting it lost inside your rectum. Additionally, the base is flat enough for you to use the toy with a harness for strap-on fun. Amor is slightly curved and there is a slightly enlarged bulb at the end to stimulate your g-spot. While I like its size, at 5 1/2 inches long and approximately 1 1/2 inches wide, size queens would be most likely disappointed. For someone that's intimidated by larger dildos, however, this is a friendly size.

When your g-spot is initially stimulated, it allegedly brings on the sensation that you have to pee. By my experience with this and a couple of other toys, I can say that this definitely stimulates my g-spot. As I thrust it in and out there is an obvious sensation of it moving in and out throughout my vagina courtesy of the bulb at the end; it's definitely not "just there." I've only had this for a couple of weeks and it has already brought me some wonderful orgasms, with and without a bullet vibe.

The only negative I have for this is that being silicone, it attracts dust and hair like crazy. I can clean this thing after use, look at it again five minutes later, and discover that it's already covered in dust and stray hairs. But otherwise, I really, really love this dildo. I hope to have fun with it for years to come.
