Inflatable stud 10" by California Exotic

I can't really remember the last time I was disappointed by a sex toy. Luckily for me, it doesn't happen often. I got my hopes up for the Inflatable Stud, but in the end, I was mainly unfulfilled. The description is tantalizing: 10" of thick, veined, inflatable pleasure. Inflates to twice its size! Nearly two inches in diameter! Wow, I thought, I can't go wrong with this. Not only is it quite large to begin with, but I'll be able to adjust the size and firmness of the traditional dildo as much as I like.

So, what's the problem? First, it is not flexible at all. The latex is soft and pliable, but it has a long rigid core that feels like a plastic pole. The soft latex feels too thin, like a balloon. It is so soft that, unless you inflate pretty much all the way, it doesn't hold its firmness, and you can't even feel that veined definition that looks so good in the picture. Even fully inflated The Inflatable Stud is just not very firm. It has no other redeeming features; no vibration, no protrusions or nubs for clitoral stimulation, no real noticeable variations in texture.

In fact, the only thing that really makes The Stud dildo stand out is its size. It is quite large even with only one or two pumps of the little hand-pump. When fully inflated, this thing is a monster! The head becomes bulbous and swollen. Although the size is impressive, I'm not sure I would recommend this toy, even for someone shopping for an insertable toy solely for size. I will say I enjoyed the pumping feature of this dildo. It was pretty interesting feeling it pump up bigger while inside me. The release valve worked great, and it pumps up pretty easily.

All told, I was not terribly impressed with this toy. I give it two stars.
