Wow. Where do I begin? Soju's Sugar Drop silicone dildo is as addictive as its Korean liquor counterpart with the same name. But even if you're not an alcohol aficionado, there's plenty for you to love about this sophisticated, cleverly designed sex toy.
The first great thing about the Sugar Drop is that it's made of silicone. Why the hype? Because silicone is nonporous, which means its surface can't be penetrated by nasty little microorganisms and bacteria that often thrive on sex toys made of other materials. If that isn't enough for all you germ-o-phobes out there (myself included), it can also be boiled (read: effortless disinfection).
Silicone is also tasteless and odorless, so you don't have to smell "Eau de Burning Rubber" every time you get some serious action. Another perk of silicone is its versatility. It retains temperatures well, so try sticking under some hot water for a few minutes to heat things up or chilling it in the fridge to cool things down. (Note: Make sure to only use water-based lubricants with any of your silicone toys; using other lubricants can be damaging.)
The Sugar Drop Dildo comes in five lovely colors, so you'll be sure to find one that tickles your fancy. It also comes with its own cradle for storing it when it's not in use, which is pretty handy. When in its cradle, the Sugar Drop could very well be mistaken for a contemporary art piece.
Admittedly, I have quite a collection of silicone dildos, so at this point, I'm a little hard to please. However, the Sugar Drop definitely doesn't fail at impressing me; in fact, it passes with flying colors.
Despite being made of silicone like the many other high end sex toys I own, the finish of the Sugar Drop is uniquely different. While most silicone toys feel squishy and ever so slightly sticky, the Sugar Drop feels velvety smooth and firm--firm but yielding enough for comfortable penetration.
The Sugar Drop is also ergonomically designed; it's slightly curved for g-spot stimulation, tapered for ease of insertion, and has a flared base to use as a handle for thrusting. Did I mention the size is perfect? Wide enough to fill you up but not too wide and long enough to touch your cervix but not too long; yep, this baby earns an A in functionality and craftsmanship. I took her for a ride and soon arrived in the land of Orgasms o' Plenty.

Follow-up commentary
20 days after original review
After owning (and jilling off with) the Sugar drop for some time now, I've discovered a few things.
First and foremost, I've really come to dislike the little raised bubble motifs on each side of the Sugar drop. You might not be able to see them very well in the pictures, because they're only about a millimeter high, but they're there (trust me). As cute and stylish as they are, though, they're anything but soft and feel almost sharp during penetration.
For an uber sensitive gal like me, this irritates the bejeezus out of my pussy! The problem is less noticeable when I use a thicker lube, especially ones formulated for anal sex. If you aren't super sensitive down there, or if you prefer a lot of vaginal stimulation (think studded condoms, bumpy and/or ribbed dildos), then there shouldn't be a problem. In fact, I can imagine the bubbles feeling pleasurable when rubbed against a lubed up clitoris, if that's your cup of tea.
We all experience sensation differently, so there's no saying how the bubbles will work for you. However, I prefer a smoother, frictionless ride.
Something I forgot to mention in my previous review of the Sugar drop is the fact that it can be used anally. Since it has a flared base, there's no risk of it getting lost inside you, and it's tapered head makes insertion into the anus a cinch. And for all the adventurous men out there, the curved shaft of the Sugar drop could very well allow you to stimulate your prostate (the male g-spot, appropriately nicknamed the p-spot). Although, I have to say that I'd only recommend this toy as an anal probe to seasoned anal toy users only (due to its girth and length).
If you're new to anal stimulation, this isn't the place to start! Anal virgins should opt for a dildo or butt plug designed specifically for beginners to minimize discomfort.
Overall, I still like the Sugar drop (as long as I have enough lube), and I would recommend it to people who enjoy vaginal and anal stimulation.

Boiling silicone/metal dildos = safe sharing without condoms?
-
If I boil a silicone or metal dildo -- or an anal plug -- would it then be safe to share with my husband without putting a condom on it? Since we are fluid-bonded, I'd hate to waste the money on condoms (they're not cheap!).
Also, if I use a dildo anally and then boil it, would it be safe to use vaginally without a condom? From what I understand, silicone and steel are completely sterilizable with boiling, but I want to be 100% certain first.
Also, can you boil Pyrex glass to sterilize for sharing? I don't yet have any glass toys -- a mistake that I will soon be rectifying! Using both anally and vaginally, as well as sharing, might be fun. -
If you're fluid bonded, I don't see the problem. Why do you need to ultra sterilize it if you're already fluid bonded? Normal cleaning should be fine.. I'm not sure I'm getting the question though maybe.

Quote: If you're fluid bonded, I don't see the problem. Why do you need to ultra sterilize it if you're already fluid bonded? Normal cleaning should be fine.. I'm not sure I'm getting the question though maybe.Normally cleaning would not be good enough since I'm concerned about transferring bacteria (E. Coli) after anal insertion to the vagina or transferring bacteria from partner to partner (not usually a problem during vaginal sex since E. Coli is found in the rectum and digestive tract).
I had thought that boiling was sufficient to kill the bacteria on silicone and metal toys, but I read a couple of reviews on EF where the reviewer recommended using a condom on the toy ANYTIME that toys were shared. But I don't see why using a condom on a toy would be necessary after boiling.
Again, I thought boiling sufficiently killed the bacteria and effectively sterilized the toy to be safe for sharing. I assumed "safe for sharing" meant that, once boiled, no condom would be needed. Just wanted to make doubly certain.

Boiling silicone dildos
-
Married coupleI have the Sugar dildo and i like it very much. I'm using it only vaginally. I know this toy can be boiled to sterilize, should I do that every time I use this silicone dildo? -
KathrynQuote: I have the Sugar dildo and i like it very much. I'm using it only vaginally. I know this toy can be boiled to sterilize, should I do that every time I use this silicone dildo?I think 'tis up to you. Soap and water really are probably fine. But if you are particularly concerned, boil away :) -
It's not necessary to do it every single time, no. I'd say a good scrub with liquid antibacterial soap and warm water, and boiling it maybe every fifth time or so will give you a toy that'll last for years! Remember the water should be at a rolling boil (the bubbles keep the silicone from laying on the very hot bottom of the pot) and you really only need maybe 3 or 4 minutes in the boiling water before it's ok.

Thank you for viewing Sugar drop – dildo review page!
Loved your review and writing style. Looks like it would be a welcoming addition to my toy collection..
You know, I empathize. This dildo seemed to have a lot going for it, for me, I rather liked the girth and the shape, and the handle... and those little bubbles seemed SO innocent... but then, I went to go use it. So long as I kept it still, it wasn't so bad, but attempting to thrust with it irritated my body rather than enticed it to arousal. I sort of wish I could have gotten ahold of the Sugar before it got discontinued, since it's the exact same dildo, sans bubbles.
I've begun calling my dildo "the pink bitch", because while she's endearing, I can only tolerate her in doses. *laugh*
One of the best reviews i've read!
Ever tried the blunt end of this toy to hit you're g-spot????
Ooh! Thank you for the lovely review!
I'm curious to know, if anyone has tried this dildo along with LELO's Ella. They look about the same to me.
Nice review!
This one looks so cool. Thanks for the review!
