Vibrating realistic royal - realistic vibrator discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by LanaBean

This 8 inch vibe is a nice size for those looking for something on the larger side. It's 6in circumference and 7in insertable length are something to be desired. There is a handy little suction cup base for attaching on many surfaces, which is always nice if you're one who prefers hands free fun and maybe some adventurous positions for solo play.

This toy, overall, is nice for solo play and with a friend depending on your personal style, and it is visually as well as textually pleasing. I would not call it user friendly, however, because there is a bit of work to clean and dry the toy itself, and the suction cup base may come off as it's not a solid rubber piece, but there are directions in the toy's package that detail what to do if the base comes off. (You need to buy/obtain special rubber adhesive, etc.)

Upon opening this toy, I was simply overcome by the scent of it. It's like a weird sweet cherry scent, certainly not something I would wish for in a sex toy. I did try washing a few times, but the small didn't lessen at all. Even after it's been used a few times, the smell remains. It really is a huge turn off for me. One of the worst things about the smell is that I oftentimes have to share a room with a relative, and the room SMELLS slightly of the vibe! My toys are kept by my bed, and my pillow and bedspread have a slight scent as well. I'm not over-exaggerating either, unfortunately.

I don't insert this into my mouth, but I can only imagine the taste wouldn't be up to par because the scent on my particular vibe is so overpowering.

This vibe is made out of rubber, which is not a super safe toy material. You must wash it completely (there are directions in the box for you to be sure you're doing it right) and make sure that you let it dry completely before storing because it's very porous. Silicone and water lubes are safe with this toy, and it's recommended that you use a condom with it to keep it and you safe.

I liked the design and shape of the vibe for the most part. The feel and look of this toy were remarkably realistic, which is always good. If you're longing for the real thing, I wouldn't necessarily say this will keep you satisfied, but it's a valiant effort.

The vibe is 8 inches; 7 of those are insertable, and the shaft is thick with a circumference of 6 inches. I started off as a beginner with toys of this size, but take note of the size before you buy things this hefty. Check the main detail page for the toy to view the "actual product size" photo! At this size, it is NOT easy to hide unless you have a larger toy box or storage space... even the silky fabric bag the toy comes in is bright red which makes it harder to conceal.

Overall, when it comes to the toy and its features and use, the vibrations are nice to have. On a bad note, I can barely feel them most of the time, so I don't think it's great in that department. However, the controller is easy to use too. You can adjust that all without a hassle which is a great feature. The only thing in this area that I would fix would have to be the fact that the cord isn't the longest cord and I'm always worried that I will pull too hard and damage it.

The batteries used to power this are AA batteries. This is great as they're easy to obtain and one can use rechargeable ones to be "green".

The toy is not noisy at all. It's relatively quiet and the only vibration is always/usually inside of you during use, so it muffles it a bit.

I have already explained the main ideas about cleaning this toy, but it's always safe to use water and a mild soap and/or a toy cleanser. READ the directions that come with the toy that detail how to care for the toy to ensure you're being safe for you and the toy as well.

Make sure that you store the toy in something breathable if there is any way it is not 100% dry for some reason because it is porous and needs sufficient time to dry out. Once it is dried, store in your usual toy box or location. I keep mine in the bag it came with in the package, and when I have room for it in my box, it gets thrown in there too. I would recommend not letting the bare dildo rest on other toys or be squished into the storage space. Give them room to breathe! Don't let it get too hot or humid in the location to make sure it's dried well.

The toy was packaged in a very evident sex toy cardboard box, little plastic, and nice silky bag to store it in. I wouldn't use the box it came in as a storage box, but I believe that if you open it well you can preserve it enough to do so. The instructions it came with were nice and helpful. There were cleaning instructions and instructions on how to repair the toy if the base comes off.
