The boy in blue - sex toy by Blush Novelties - review by Sugarfina

This is by far my favorite dildo. It's six and a half inches (or so) and isn't too large for me or too small, as I like them average in the same or similar size as my boyfriend. The suction cup makes it a fun use for bath time or just an easier way to hold it while using. The balls are also fun to hold on to and I love the way they feel during play time. If you were to use it with a strap on you would not be disappointed by the easy attachment of it.

I do sometimes use this for anal, although I always put a condom on it when I do. Even using it vaginally I put a condom on this dildo because I want to make sure the toy stays clean and so does my body. Condoms are great as toy covers just to make sure you and your toy are both protected, especially as this dildo is made of TPR - not exactly a body safe material like silicone.

The "veins" all over this dildo add an extra texture that some may like and enjoy, but that I find is too much for me. This is another reason I put a condom on this dildo with every use, aside from keeping it and myself clean.

When I did first receive this dildo, it did have a rubbery scent (that of TPR), but luckily it wasn't too intense and over time did not bother me as it faded more and more. It doesn't have a bad taste either, and reminds me much of silicone even though it isn't made of this material.

I definitely consider this dildo realistic, and more so than any of my other dildos, because it is made in a more average size like most real men.

This toy is not as plush as my silicone Tantus dildos, and it is firmer. I like the "hardness" of it better in a lot of ways, too. Though it is still flexible and easy to use.

If you decide to put this in a strap on harness, it should fit nicely as it is compatible.

I love the design of this. The shape is slightly bent so it works well for G-spot stimulation, even though my favorite way to use it is doggy style (from behind, dildo facing up) and anal. Being almost a full 6 inches in insertable length, it is a good fit for my body, although some may prefer larger. I do think this the perfect dildo for an average user, someone who may not have a preference for queen sized toys, but regular toys (much like the size of the average man) instead. I like the realistic look of this dildo.

I don't recommend it for travel, however, at least not on an airplane. If you want something discreet, I would go for a toy that doesn't look like a real penis. If you're just taking this overnight to your lover's house, though, go ahead. I do it all the time! ;)

My favorite part about this dildo is its average size (again, I have to say it) and the balls, all realistic features. I don't think anything is amiss on this toy, and it works perfect for me, every day of the week. The suction cup is an added feature, like the balls, that make it all around my favorite dildo. Even though I don't use the suction cup very often or use this in a strap on harness, it's always nice to have, as a "handle" during use.

Since this toy is made of TPR, which isn't silicone and I do not consider 100% body safe, I again, always use a condom. I especially always use a condom when I use it for anal, as this toy can still harbor bacteria and I do not want to take the risk of spreading any germs from one of my crevices to the other.

I always used water-based lubricants on all of my toys just to be safe, and it isn't often I use them in the shower, so I don't have to worry about it washing off under the water. After use I always remove the condom I've put on it as a toy cover, and wash it completely with anti-bacterial soap and water, much like I would use to wash dishes or my hands. Condom or no condom, I still thoroughly wash my toys to be safe. Anything going in my body should be regulated and constantly cleaned.

I usually store this in an old t-shirt, in my Pipedream carry-all bag, or one of my clothes drawers. I've tried plastic bags, but it seems that they like to stick to the dildo and all sandwich bags, if not most, just stick to it, and it won't fit all the way inside anyway.

This came in a clamshell packaging case that was easy to recycle. It also included a paper insert which I also recycled. There were some basic instructions, but not a lot. It's good that I know a lot or I might have been a little confused with the lack of information that is usually given on sex toy packaging.
