Vac-u-lock realistic cock - dildo discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by Recalcitrantem

I used this with my partner with a condom. We did not use the harness attachment. I was leery of using it because of the care involved - the material is porous, and you have to keep it in a bag and use talcum powder so it doesn't get sticky. Also, the realistic veins and such make it a little less-simple to clean. It was not long enough to bump my cervix, which was nice! It was, however, a little more wobbly than I expected, not really firm. A sort of jelly-like consistency, which I'm told made putting the condom on kind of difficult.

My first impression was that it smells bizarre - I think that's the talcum powder. The smell stayed on my SO's hands after a fairly long time, he ended up scrubbing with soap to get it off. Touch wise, it feels bizarre. Imagine if one of those sticky hands from a capsule machine was penis-shaped and powdered so it wasn't as sticky. That's what it feels like. I would have preferred something more rigid, personally. I'd like to again state this was my first experience with any non-plastic vibrator toys! I didn't put it in my mouth, I can't imagine that would have been pleasant.

I wouldn't suggest using this for anal for a beginner - it's pretty thick.

I get that it's supposed to look realistic, and the added testicles were actually kind of nice, grip-wise. I could have done without the simulated veins and penis head - after all, once it was in use I couldn't see them, and they made it harder to clean. The size was perfect for me - not too small and not too long. I think it would be all right for average users. It does look pretty realistic, as far as the penis section. The testicles, not so much.

Discretion-wise, it's pretty big. You also need to keep it in a bag. I would imagine they'd know exactly what it is if it's in your carry-on.

I liked the size. I did not like the smell at all! Also, if it's not being used with a harness there's an open hole in the back, which complicated cleaning. We did not use the harness it's made for. The hole seemed pretty solid, though, not and likely to fall apart.

The directions say to clean it with antibacterial soap and to always use a condom because of the porous material. That's a deal-breaker for me, condoms already cost us too much. We use Magnums and I think getting a normal one on there would have been really hard because of the lack of rigidity. After use, it needs to be patted dry and put back in its own bag. Talcum powder is included, too, and I put some on so it won't get all stuck to the plastic bag it came in.

Because of the material, you also can only use water-based lubricants, or the material can get corroded.

It comes in a box roughly the size of two envelope boxes. The instructions are included and easy to follow. The box can be used for storage (it's pretty sturdy), but only if you're not concerned with discretion!
