Perk - dildo discontinued by Happy Valley - review by Wicked Wahine

What is not to like about the Perk dildo by Happy Valley?





It's affordable for one thing and that can be an issue with some of the high end silicone dildos, e.g., VixSkin. It is also a great all around size at 6.75" long by 1.5" and has a 2.5" wide flared base.






Note the bullet is pushed in all the way and makes for a more comfortable fit in a harness, so you won't turn it off by mistake! It's also easy to remove by squeezing it out, but putting a drop of lube on the bullet before insertion will greatly speed up the extraction.

The flared base makes it harness compatible, as well as safe for anal use without a harness. I found that base was easy to grip for a handle of sorts to allow better control while applying pressure t my G-spot, as well as for thrusting. I also really like that it's not too realistic, is smooth and comes in some great color choices: purple, red, blue or the silver, which I chose, because of the pretty swirls in the finish! (Though mine, has less pronounced swirls than in the photos on the product page.) Since it's not too realistic, the head is not as pronounced as in many dildos, but even what it does have is a bit uncomfortable for me and felt a little too pronounced.




However, if you like a popping sensation while thrusting, or the feel of the ridge as the dildo thrusts, the style of this head would be a positive feature; it just depends on what feels good to you. It also can provide some add stimulation rubbing against your G-spot! But, I admit that I specifically chose this item because it looked like it didn't have a pronounced head and ridge, so I am not happy with that aspect of the toy when it's in my valley, (sorry, I couldn't resist the play on the brand name).

This dildo is made from silicone which is non-porous and sterilizable. Just be sure not to use silicone lube without first doing a patch test on the bottom, somewhere out of sight. This particular silicone is quite firm which allows the user to gain enough pressure for G-spot orgasms and the curvature of the shaft helps with that, as well. But my favorite part of the firmness is it's excellent transmission of vibrations! It comes with its own bullet vibe, but I found that to be too buzzy for me.



So, I replaced the included bullet with my We-Vibe Salsa...



Here it is with the bullet changed out with my We-Vibe Salsa. Notice how much sticks out past the base even with it in as far as it will go! I LOVE how the Salsa cranks up the power to this and highly recommend switching bullets if you want more power or patterns! The addition of my Salsa transforms this into a powerhouse! That firm silicone really took the Salsa's rumbly vibrations deep inside me and it was a dream come true!

I give this vibrating dildo a 4 out of 5 stars. The bullet was a little too buzzy for me, but that was easily remedied with another bullet. This is a great all around dildo, not too long or girthy and with the flared base and the removable bullet vibe, you have lots of options to experiment! (If using the Salsa, please note that it extends past the base of the dildo, so it would not work in a harness!)

I forgot to mention a few things. First, I was surprised over the cheap packaging: a clear plastic bag with a small identity card attached to the top. Second, I was pleasantly surprised that after removing the included bullet, the resulting hollow doesn't make this dildo collapse on itself from the weak area, flexing sideways when thrusting the toy. Sometimes, the shaft of other brands will collapse while you try to thrust them without the support of a bullet inside. I think by using this stiffer silicone, Happy Valley has a stronger dildo that not only is rigid enough without the bullet, but is easier to manage for harness use! I have read that floppy dildos are difficult to control while wearing a harness, especially for vigorous thrusting, so this type of silicone, coupled with the flared, O-ring-compatible base, makes this a great toy for harness play.

The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because of a personal preference for a non-distinct head on toys. I don't find the sensation of a head and ridge to be comfortable. But, I do like a graduated tip; it's just the raised areas that bother me. While this dildo has a much less noticeable, or distinct head, it is enough that I find it distracting, so I don't like to thrust this. However, the Perk's saving grace is that it allows the addition of a stronger bullet so I can enjoy the excellent transmission of the vibrations all the way throughout this dildo!

PS, I bought this dildo months ago, so I have had plenty of time to use it. (I don't want anyone to question why I did the follow-up in one day.)
