Like Sticking an Angry Porcupine in Your Ass

The French Ticklers are a no go. They are uncomfortable to wear and receive and are a pain to put on and take off. If you are looking for something you can rub on your clit for texture, this is a cheap choice for that. Otherwise, it'd a waste of money.

Use

Let me first start off by saying that I bought a few of these with my VERY first order from Eden back in 2007. It was so bad that I wanted to forget about it forever. It wasn't until I saw that people were still buying these that I figured I better pull another one out and review it so no one else buys this horrid thing. It is supposed to be a penis extension. The attached semi condom covers the head and secures the tickler. This is supposed to add sensation and texture to the penis for vaginal penetration. For me, it was painful and unsafe. It broke easily and hurt my partner and I. It's not good for anything but a gag gift and possible external sensation play. I can't recommend this to anyone.

Note that the one I received is not the one in the product page picture. You will receive one three possible shapes and a few different possible colors. Mine is the prickly yellow one pictured below. It is available in the combo collection (but that one is orange).

Material / Texture

This tickler is made of rubber and latex - the rubber is porous. The tickler part is made of rubber, which feels more like unforgiving plastic. It's very low quality and smells horrible too. It does flex and has give, but it's still rough with the pricklers. The other part is made of latex. The latex also smells bad and is much thinner than that on a condom. It's incredibly hard to unroll and sticks to itself. It pulls hair and skin. Are you getting a clear picture of how fun this thing is already?
    • Porous
    • Sticky / pulls hair
    • Strong odor

Shape / Design / Size / Fit

Like I said, you may receive a different one, but the yellow tickler is shaped like a dome. It has dozens of little spin ticklers on it. The open base is 1 1/2" wide and it is about 1 1/4" tall. Attached to the inside is the condom-like part. It curls up underneath until you are ready to use it. Unrolling it is a bitch, but when it is unrolled it is about 2" long. This anchors the tickler onto the top of the penis. As you can see in the below picture, it doesn't fit the head of a penis very well, especially if it is large. I'd say that it fits even tighter than most average sized condoms. It's REALLY hard to put on too. Two of three of these broke during that process alone. Since it can't be worn over a condom, it's not safe for those who are not on birth control or those who don't want to get pregnant. The material easily rips and would not protect you from STDs or unwanted pregnancy.

I would say that this product is discreet because it is small and odd looking. Did any of you have the Play-doh Barber Shop? I did! It reminds me of this dude...

Functions / Performance / Controls

The point of this is to add texture to the penis for added sensation during vaginal intercourse. We never found this product to do anything close to that. First off, my boyfriend found it very uncomfortable to wear and take off. He said he couldn't feel a thing in terms of sensations and it numbed his head a bit. I guess this is more of a female product right? No. Trying to insert this is like trying to put an angry porcupine in your ass, even with tons of lubricant. It's just not going to happen, and if it does, it isn't going to be pretty. I couldn't stand this being inserted more than a half inch before I had to stop. It's down right painful. The best use I found was to use this in my fingers to run over my clit and nipples. I found it to be arousing if used for short periods of time, but it got irritating after a while. It doesn't work well for its intended purpose. I can't imagine that many will enjoy this.
    • Hard to put on / take off
    • Not very stimulating

Care and Maintenance

I'm not sure if this is meant to be a one time use product, but it was for us and would be even if it didn't hurt. The latex breaks too easily and it's hard to wash if cum gets inside. You can use water and silicone lubricants with this, avoid oil.
    • Hard to clean

Packaging

The package is a simple plastic bag with a cardboard piece stapled to the top. It works well for storage, but is disposable when you open it. It does not offer much information at all. It looks like a gag gift, to be honest.
    • Minimal
    • Not discreet

Personal comments

Do NOT try to insert this anally, even on a toy. It easily breaks and might get stuck inside of you.
Follow-up commentary
Seeing that I threw this out, I won't be using it again. Plus, it's mostly a one time use product anyways.
