Double trouble medium - double ended dildo discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by happy cookie

Typically you'd insert one end of the dildo into person one and the other end into person 2 and "share" in the enjoyment. However there is one major design flaw with this toy that became apparent right away. The central joint made it really only flexible in the quarter points of the toy (halfway between the middle and either end). This keeps it from bending well as a whole so we found it awkward and difficult to get one end inside of me and keep it there while we bent the other end to fit inside my girlfriend. On top of that, the "anal" end with the three rounded bumps was not at all flared which made it uncomfortable for me to insert and difficult to keep in. I assume you could use it as an average vaginal dildo or anal with the bumpy end but that takes all of the fun out of having something you and your partner can use at the same time. Also because it is of such a simple design other uses are quite limited.

It smelled, and continues to smell of awful rubber. From when we first got it in the mail and opened the package to even now when we took it out just to write this review it puts off such a strong odor that you can smell it from outside a closed room... even after it has been put away. The Sil-a-gel material it says it is made out of feels kind of like plastic to me, though not quite as firm. It also is not a solid material but rather a harder outer skin filled with this softer core the contents of which are unknown to me, but it sort of resembles hardened taffy. What is worse is that the skin is not fully connected to the "taffy" center so you can feel it peeling off its internal filling when you grab it... not a very pleasant texture. Actually a really good example for the overall feel of this is similar to those plastic rubber foam-filled seats you find on some subway cars. Finally my girlfriend complained of it stinging slightly and for a long time after using it, which has really only been once.

All I have to say is unacceptably cheap. I'll back up a bit first though. When we got it in the mail my first thought was it was huge... much bigger than expected, especially for "medium". Length was understandable but its girth was just too much especially seeing as how there was really no taper on either of the ends. What took the cake though was after a SINGLE use the glue that held the two ends together came loose and it became detached in the middle, making it useless for its one unique use, and leaving us with not just one bad dildo but two... all in all very poorly designed and produced.

At first, we were excited about the prospect of role reversal in the bedroom. The size and texture looked nice when viewed online; one end being nice and smooth (perfect for either or us) and the other being ridged (perfect for the one receiving anal stimulation). However, after seeing or rather smelling it when it arrived our excitement slowly started to fade. Once it broke all hope was lost, rendering it utterly useless. Seeing as how it was supposed to perform as a double ended dildo for two people to enjoy together and it fell apart after only one use, it gets an F from the both of us.

The Sil-a-gel seems to absorb a little of the silicone based lubricant we used and the joint in the middle traps water among other things. Fortunately, the lack of any texture or ribbing makes it easy to clean, especially when it splits in the middle and actually fits in a bathroom sink. Another benefit is we really only had to clean it once before it became broken and useless.

It came in a clear plastic case, the kind you need kitchen shears or a box cutter to get into. It's bulky and not at all discreet to dispose of, especially since the whole deal is a good 16 inches long. Since we can't fit it into our typical toy storage container, it ends up being a bit of a nuisance to keep.

I usually enjoy writing about my experiences with what I review... unfortunately this was an experience I would just as soon forget.
