The original - realistic dildo discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by LynLyn

While I personally think that The Original has a pretty lackluster name, that doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. After all, a remake rarely trumps the original. This toy was fantastic, and I find it difficult to imagine anyone having much problem with it, if any. I originally thought that it would be too big for me, but I was completely wrong. With a bit of lubricant, it was thoroughly enjoyable and had a nice filling feeling without being painful in the least.

The texture may look a little intimidating but it actually feels very nice, and along with the head both give a bit of G-spot stimulation. Great for thrusting, great for vaginal use. It has no flared base, as has been mentioned in many reviews, so it's not suitable for anal use. If you do decide to use it for anal, be extremely careful.

The material is 100% platinum silicone, meaning it's really easy to clean and care for. It has no taste or smell, and a particularly realistic feel in my opinion. The texture on the toy does add a little extra stimulation. The material lands between soft and firm. It is a little more firm than soft so it's a good medium density, and is flexible and bendable but not flopping around. The texture isn't enough to irritate, and anyone from beginner to advanced user should enjoy it, even if you're not particularly fond of textures. It's appealing, not off-putting. And the fact that silicone warms up with your body is a huge plus for this toy, at least for me.

I love the shape and design of this toy. It's basic, but lovely. It's a filling toy, but not in the sense that it's hard or dense. I'm not particularly experienced in the world of larger toys, so I would consider myself an average user, and it's an excellent fit for me. I can't stress enough that lubrication makes a difference, the first few times that I used it I didn't use any lube but once I had some and used a small amount of it, it was absolutely perfect. Every bad thing that I thought about the toy went away with a little lubrication. The toy has a realistic look with very exaggerated veins. I suppose it could be travel friendly as it's not huge but it's not discreet at all, seeing as no matter how you slice it, it looks like a penis.

The toy is great for general thrusting, but I find myself subconsciously using the head most. It has a large head that you can either use for g-spot stimulation or ignore and simply use for thrusting.

The toy can be a little hard to grip if lube gets on the uninserted end. If you use something to hold onto it like a clean cloth it helps out a lot, in my experience.

Since it's silicone, it's incredibly easy to clean. Dishwasher safe, too. I, personally, just take it into the bathroom and give it a good wash with a mild antibacterial soap before and after use. It can be stored in its package or in other more preferred ways. I like to store all of my toys in Zip-lock bags, but I can be a little paranoid. Since it's silicone, only water-based lubricants should be used.
