Classic bender royal - dildo discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by One of Five

Classic Royal Bender is my first dildo toy I have owned. I went with it because it was a cheaper dildo, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money exploring a new type of toy if I didn't like it. Bender is a (It says different specifications on the site, but the toy that I recieved is slightly bigger) 10 inch long, Sil-A-Gel, classic-styled dildo that offers one added bonus. In the toy itself there's a flexible stick-like thing that makes the toy bendable. It's great for vaginal penetration, and the bendable feature of it offers some great g-spot stimulation as well. Bending the toy is easy enough; getting the toy straight again is tougher and requires two hands. (I've never been able to get it totally straight again)

I think the toy would actually be more suited towards more intermediate users, as I was a little intimidated by its size and girth. I'm used to slimmer things, so it took a few tries for me to actually get used to the toy. The girth of it satisfies me and gives me a "full" feeling. If you're a girth queen though, I don't think this toy is for you. It can be used as a solo play toy, temperature play, and couple play.

I've read that some people have been using this toy, and other toys like it, as an anal toy. I think that would be okay as long as the person using it was careful because there is no flared tip, and the toy can get very slippery with lube on it. I'm personally not into anal toys right now, so I wouldn't use it as one. And also.. if you're going to use it for both during the same play session, either use two condoms, or wash it in between holes!!!

When I opened the package, I was overcome with a horrid rubber smell that stunk up my house (I live in a very small house) for all of a day. My bedroom actually still has a slight lingering smell of rubber. Unfortunately, the smell of this toy will never totally disappear, no matter how much you wash it- so beware! I wasn't actually sure I was going to be able to get over the smell enough to use the toy.

Like I said above, the toy is made of Sil-A-Gel rubber... which makes it plush, and its molded to look like a real penis. The Sil-A-Gel rubber makes it really porous. It has veins, a head, and all that jazz. This toy is supposed to feel realistic. I personally don't think it does. I mean it feel's pretty close, and if you close your eyes and imagine... it can feel about the same. Because it's realistic, I feel that the toy adds some stimulation, mainly to your sense looking at it. I'd say the texture is made more for beginners to intermediate users of dildos.

I wanted a more realistic dildo for my first toy. I liked the design, and it worked just fine for me. Like I said earlier, the size was intimidating at first, but after a few times using it I got used to it. It gives me a full feeling, and it should suit most average users.

This toy isn't discreet. Anyone who see's it is going to know what it is right away. I also wouldn't take it with me on vacation or on a business trip unless you like your clothes, car, and hotel room to smell like a rubber dildo.

I think the best feature of this toy is the fact that you can bend it. If you don't like something that's straight, you can bend it to your liking. If you want to try to make yourself or your partner squirt, you can. The only thing I REALLY hate about this toy is that it smells so bad.

Classic Royal Bender is a lint magnet. It takes a bit more care than some other toys because of that, and also because of the fact that it's pretty porous. You will want to wash it before and after each use, and every time you switch between people or holes. I would actually go as far to suggest using a condom if you're going to share it between partners and holes.

I store it in the package it came in, and put it in a lock box I bought just for personal toys and other personal item storage.

Because it's NOT made of silicone, this toy is compatible with any type of lube. Just make sure that you lube yourself and it up really good if you're using it to try to break your hymen or if it's going to be the biggest toy you own.

The toy came in a bubble-molded, plastic package that can easily taken apart. There were no real instructions in the package, but it's a dildo.. using it is pretty self-explanatory. It gives a little info about the toy and the material, like on most toy packages.


I would not wrap this toy or put it in a bag to give as a gift, unless you were alone with the person. I also wouldn't give this toy as a gift to anyone unless I were really close to them. As for the packaging, I use it as storage right now. I don't plan on using it as permanent storage, but it works right now.
