Hottie xtra - dildo discontinued by Happy Valley - review by raffi

The Hottie Xtra from Happy Valley is a girthier than typical toy. It seems to be about average length, but easily twice the girth of what I see "in nature." This toy is 5 1/4" long without including the flared base, has a 2" diameter (6 1/4" circumference) through the shaft, and 2 1/4" diameter (6 3/4" circumference) at the bulged head. For comparison, I like to use a standard familiar object - like a 12oz beer bottle - which is generally 7" tall with a 6 1/2" circumference at the base.

The Hottie Xtra is made of silicone (non-porous and phthalate free) - so it can be cleaned with soap and water, boiling, dipping in diluted bleach, washed in the top rack of your dishwasher (personally, I've had this toy about 2 years, and I've had no problem using just soap and water, it is just me that uses it and it has not developed any film or odor). The silicone material has a slight gloss to it; it is smooth and untextured and slides nicely.

The Hottie Xtra came with a bullet that you can stuff in the hole in the base, but up until recently I've never used a vibrator, so this particular bullet just got tossed in the drawer. Given that the shaft is hollow, there is a very slight give to it if you squeeze it. I have used very large toys on occasion and I'm not entirely sure I can feel that give when it's inserted. Heck, I can hardly feel it in my hand.

The Hottie Xtra did not come in any type of special packaging, just a plastic bag, and no storage wrap. For me, that is just fine, I roll each of my toys (including this one) in a microfiber wash cloth. The dilemma is that since they all look the same rolled up, I don't always know what I've grabbed out (there is a fun aspect to that as well, actually).

This toy, as with most of my others, was purchased for me as a gift by my mate. We have a long distance relationship, he watches me on cam, we talk on the phone, and occasionally we have the opportunity to meet in person.

My mate loves to see me stuffed, filled, impaled, stretched .... a lot of the toys he buys me are of the larger variety, this one included. The difference between this one and many of my others is the length proportion, as well as the shape of the head. Many other toys of this girth are so long that there is just no possibility that I can have the entire length buried, and it's almost disappointing in a sense to see that there's like 3" still not in. That is not the case with this one, when it's buried, it's buried and there's somewhat of a sense of accomplishment to see that on the screen and to feel the flared base tucked up tight against me. As for the shape of the head, it is quite nice because although there is a flare or bulge to it, it is not quite so much that it gets kinda caught like some other toys I have.

This is a toy that definitely stretches me out, the blue color is a beautiful contrast color to see in pictures and on cam, and this is my max girth for being able to thrust. Anything bigger than this is too tight and I can't thrust it; this one, however, I can and I attribute that to the shape of the head. This is a great toy for sitting on, and during my most recent visit from my mate (this morning) I had this stuffed in me while I laid next to him on my side giving him a blowjob (per his request, so that he could see me). He gave it an occasional tap while it was buried inside me - which really sent me reeling, squeezing harder against it as I orgasmed.

I would recommend this really to anyone, it's big but not impossible. (My preferred size is more of a 1" diameter, and unless I've worked at it 1 1/2" fills me perfectly sufficiently)

OOPS! Apparently I accidentally must have unrolled the washcloth this was rolled up in, and it has been resting against one of my other silicone toys (The Randy). It kinda stuck to it, when I pulled the two toys apart it left a really strange bumpy texture. Since I've never really been "in love with" either one - I chucked them both. Hopefully nobody unwraps them in the garbage or they fall out or anything - how embarrassing that would be! I rolled them up in a newspaper and stuffed them into an empty cereal box.
