The Dong itself is a high quality product. The rubber material is very smooth and shiny, and it truly has great realistic detail. It is clear that attention to detail and quality was taken at Doc Johnson to produce such a realistic toy. It has a smooth texture on the shaft, well-rounded head, and bumpy details on the scrotum to appear more authentic. The scrotum is somewhat flexible and doesn't interfere with the use of the dong. The dong is very firm and rigid, yet it feels soft to the touch. The texture is suitable for all users of different experience levels, and I feel that the material and texture do give the toy added stimulation potential.
My only problem with the material is with the odor. When the toy is new, it comes with a fairly strong rubbery odor. It really does take a good week or two of airing out the dong to get the strong smell to go away. Even after that, it still retains a slight odor and touching it will get the odor on your hands (but the odor goes away after washing your hands).
