Goliath - strap-on dildo discontinued by Tantus - review by Angelica

This toy can be used vaginally as well as anally, due to the flared base. The base also makes this harness compatible, so if you have a strap on and a partner who likes bigger toys, you can use this. The toy is rather large so warm up is necessary for any kind of use (for me). This is not a beginner toy at all. I lost the bullet before I could use it and honestly wasn't looking for a vibrator, so I cant comment on the vibrations of the toy yet.

The toy is a firm silicone (and since it is silicone, use caution and spot test any silicone lubes or just use water based). It is not as squishy as other silicone toys I have seen before, but it is not plastic hard. It can bend and has a little give. The toy is made out of matte silicone which has some drag, which means lots of lube to get this bad boy in anywhere. The head of the toy, like other reviewers have noted, has a texture similar to an orange peel. It is slightly pitted, which doesn't add anything sensation wise, so I am not really sure the purpose of it. The toy has a very veiny shaft, which does add to stimulation for me. The veining seems a bit dramatic for it to be terribly realistic.

The design of the toy does not look as intimidating as other girthy toys online, but opening it from the package it was a bit larger than expected. It is quite girthy and is not too long, which is good for me because I was worried about it banging against my cervix. The size of this is more for advanced users and size queens. The shape is realistic in that it looks like nothing but a penis, but is exaggerated, and not discreet at all. The ridge is very pronounced which sometimes got caught on my pubic bone. Overall, this was a filling toy without being overwhelmingly huge.

I have not yet tried this toy with a harness (as I am looking for one that suits my fancy), I just used it as a straight dildo. It is not an everyday toy but it performed quite well. It lived up to its name without being intimidating. I can't think of any real cons to the toy other than the ridge is a bit uncomfortable sometimes.

The toy is made out of silicone which means it's non-porous and safe for sharing or anal and vaginal use (after cleaning of course!). This does mean no silicone based lubes. Water based lubes are plenty slippery enough to get this where it needs to go. The Goliath is actually a pain in the ass to clean. Stuff gets stuck on the textured shaft, and I really should use an old toothbrush for cleaning it. The pitted texture though, doesn't seem to make it harder to clean. It also is a dust magnet, so I store it in my toy box where it cannot touch another silicone toy.
