This thing has about 2 different uses: You can use it with your hands, or you can mount it so you can mount it. Its design isn't very conducive to variety outside of vaginal or oral sex, nor is its material. I imagine for most it would be FAR too large for ass-play. Supposedly it can be used as a strap-on, but as I haven't tried yet, I can't say for sure.

It has a good enough grip at the base that you could easily use it on a partner, or have them use it on you. It would also be a good candidate for a spitroast or double-penetration participant, though I wouldn't go for this if it's your first time trying such a thing.

Because it's made of rubber, it's completely waterproof.

This cock smells... Well, it smells, anyway. It has a strange chemical smell that I can't really describe, except to mention that it's not a very rubbery scent. It's noticeable even at a distance, though not a great one. I wouldn't say the smell is a turn off, but it sort of makes me think of cheap lube. It hasn't picked up the smells of anything else, but I don't keep it near anything smelly, so who knows. The smell still persists after several washings and on anything it touches, so be aware.

Mine arrived with a tiiiiiny red smudge on it, probably attesting to how porous it is. I tried scrubbing it off and didn't make much progress, but it's not a dealbreaker. Mine also has a lot of miniscule bubbles in the 'veins' and 'wrinkles' in the highest-rising parts of them. My education in sex toys tells me this is because air bubbles get trapped in the mold in a point where they can't rise higher to escape, meaning that there was no vacuum used in the molding process. No big deal, they only seem to be noticeable with my fingers, and if you've read my review about the Ella, you know I'm sensitive to small things like that.

It also has a light tackiness to its texture. It's not sticky, per se, but it does attract all sorts of house-floaties you wouldn't want near it. Wash thoroughly with soap to get it to come off effectively.

This dildo is bigger than I expected. This was one of those times when I went off the measurements given, instead of looking at the actual size comparison. This thing is freaking huge. I would NOT recommend this for beginners, as I became a little ambivalent about it myself. It has a 'realistic' look, albeit with more veins and folds than really seems right. It has a very bulbous head with an accurate-feeling shape, and two balls at the base that are eerily smooth. The lack of nooks and crannies makes it SUPER easy to clean, with the exception of the Doc Johnson logo. The base is shaped very comfortably to grip, especially for a man with larger hands and even if you have tiny hands like mine. I have yet to try it in a harness, but I'll update the review when I have.

My only two gripes with the toy:

1. That it tries SO hard to be realistic that it ends up being less realistic, but it doesn't affect the function.

2. The suction cup (or lack thereof) on the base. This toy CAN be mounted on walls, furniture, etc. It sticks very firmly, more than expected, and manages to keep itself completely erect. Sort of impressive to see. However, it may take a little more fiddling than you expected. With mine, I had to get the tiniest bit of water on the bottom, lift up the balls, and practically hurl it at the surface and release the balls with JUST the right timing to get it to stick. Not a deal breaker, as I'm sure I'll figure it out better as we become better acquainted, but mildly frustrating.

This was better than I expected. While girthy, the lack of sharp angles and the gentle curves made slipping this in feel amazing. I loved the firmness, as it has just enough give that you can feel it when you squeeze it, no matter which muscles you use. It was enough to make me wonder if it had a core, even though I knew it didn't. Sweet. Not bad for the price. I found I was able to manipulate it quite well when it was inside me, it having enough flexibility that my inner muscles could move it where I needed it. Even more sweet.

I found that when using it mounted, it kept its grip very well, though I only used it for a pantomime blowjob. I'm not at all worried about it coming unstuck later.

This dildo can be used with any lube, though I didn't need any. It has a rather clingy surface texture though, so even after ONLY having it on the nightstand one night after a thorough cleaning, I woke up with it covered in cat hair, dust, my hair... So I keep it stored in the clamshell it came in. Because of the clinginess, I highly recommend washing it before and after use. I haven't HAD to wash it before I use it since I started keeping it in the clamshell, but I usually do anyway. I clean it with antibacterial soap and warm water. Fortunately, it has a very smooth design, so it doesn't take long and doesn't leave anything behind in any crannies.

This is made of POROUS rubber. Don't forget that. So it's also not safe to use with someone else without a condom, and many would recommend you put a condom on it anyway. This also means it can't be sterilized, so no unprotected butt-play with this, ESPECIALLY if you plan on sharing it.

This toy came in a HUGE clamshell plastic container that mercifully wasn't welded shut. It has folds at the edges that are pressed to keep it closed, which works fine with me. It is not at all discreet. A bright pink insert praises the joy of the SUPER BALLSY COCK in huge letters, alongside the plainly-displayed giant cock.

I LOVED the overall lack of packaging, though there was certainly no need for the clamshell to be 4-5 inches higher than the cock itself. For packaging, I'd give it an A-, as the package can be used for storage (points off for packaging size, though) as well.
