Love Rider rippler - dildo discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Neotigress

This is the Goldilocks of dildos: not too girthy, not too textured, and not too smooth. For me it could be a little girthier, but I like things on the longer and wider than average spectrum.

Being made of silicone and non-pourous, this toy is easily cleaned and sterilized, and can be taken on your scuba diving adventure, the hot tub, your bed, or a plethora of other locations.

The Love Rider can be used for both g-spot and p-spot stimulation. It has a nicely shaped flange that makes it great for anal or in a harness, and if angry, it's firm enough that you can give a dandy spanking with it too!

With it's high tech design, it isn't threatening, and in hot pink, it's down right cute.

Unless you're strictly a size queen, this dildo has something to offer just about everyone.

This toy is a wonderful safety rating 10, silicone, and I didn't have issues with it attracting lint as much as my other silicone toys.

The surface is velvety and has a good amount of drag. This surface accepted my water based lube without beading like some do. And due to the surface drag, it held the lube nicely.

The box says that this toy is odor free, and it is almost odor free. I only smelled a slight, and not unpleasant, almost new car smell, when I literally stuck it under my nose and inhaled deeply.

As mentioned in the design section, the toy is very slightly ribbed, but it is so subtle that I couldn't feel it at all when inserted.

-Safety features of the Love Rider:
-Food-grade material
-Hypo-allergenic
-Latex free
-Non-porous
-Phthalates free

You can boil, stick in the dishwasher, use your favorite toy cleaner, take this dildo in the hot tub, or any other grand adventure, just don't use any silicone lube, nor bump it up against any of your other silicone toys, or it will start to melt.

This is one of the firmest silicone dildos I have felt in the shaft portion, and when I push on it the furthest, the shaft will bend is a right angle. (For those of you of the BDSM persuasion, this will double as a dandy paddle).

The Love Rider comes in with the following measurements:

Length: 7.75 inches
Insertable length: 7 inches
Angled (g-spot friendly) head: 2 inches
Shaft 4.5 inches around
Head 4.75 inches around
Flanged suction cup base: 2.5 inches across and 8 inches around its edge.

And speaking of the suction cup feature, it truly works and stands up to vigorous play and pulling on hard flat surfaces. This suction cup flange also fit securely in the ring of my strap on harness while not being bulky or uncomfortable.

The toy itself is a non-threatening hot pink and high-tech looking design, with 3 soft bumps along the top of the head of the toy and 4 design indentations around the head and shaft that were so shallow I wasn't able to measure them. When insterted these subtle design features were not felt at all. Being so subtle and shallow, they were not an issue or hygienic concern when cleaning.

Additionally when you squeeze the toy it is fairly firm silicone, but the head feels like there is large air chamber in it which makes it softer and more forgiving than the shaft of the toy and makes it comfortable for vigorous deep, read cervix banging, thrusts.

The head of the toy has a very pleasing g-spot/p-spot angle and with the nice length of the toy, I found to be most pleasing along the entire roof of my vagina.

This toy seems like it was thought out very well to be a great middle of the road, pleasing to just about everyone kind of dildo.

When I first saw the low profile on the flanged base of this toy, I felt very dubious about how the suction cup would perform, but it rode like a bronco, and when I was finished, pulling didn't work to disconnect it from the surface. I had to get a butter knife and gently lift an edge to break the suction. I was delightfully surprised in its performance.

The flange worked great in my harness too. Being thinner, it wasn't obtrusive my skin, yet the silicone itself was firm enough that the toy stayed secure in the harness and didn't pull or fall out of the O-ring.

This isn't a girthy toy, so it did wobble in the o-ring a wee bit as the shaft did not fill the metal ring on my harness. This wasn't an issue during play however.

Inserted, this dildo was heavenly, but I'm a confessed g-spot slut. The Love Rider has a longer insertable length than my other g-spot toys, so I was able to enjoy the feeling of stimulating the entire roof of my vagina all the way to my cervix.

And bumping into my cervix was also comfortable and very pleasurable, as the head is a nicely rounded and bulbous shape and not pointy at all.

The Love Rider is easy peasy to clean, and being made of silicone wirh no deep ridges or shapes to worry about, you can toss it in the dishwasher, boil it, or use your favorite toy cleaner.

For me, I'm a hot water and toy cleaner type of girl, and it was truly a snap.

The Love Rider can be stored in the box it came in which would be a bit bulky. I store mine in its own bag (I'm one of those crafty chicks and I knit my own). Just be careful how you store it and don't get it next to any other silicone even if you do something as simple as toss it into a zip-lock baggie to keep it safe.

It would also be easy to travel with, since you have no worries about batteries giving you away, with vibrating luggage.

This charming dildo comes in decidedly NOT discreet packaging. A white card board box that proudly displays on the front, the toy in the color inside the box with glossy ink, in my case bright pink, and verbiage that follows:

"Silicone Love Rider

The complete strap-on system accessory

Rippler

Pure Silicone"

Then one side repeats the above and the dimension stats, and that the toy has a suction cup and is unscented. The other side of the box repeats the name of the toy, and then goes into the copyright info, company website, etc. The back of the box repeats the following information in 5 languages:

-Premium, solid, sturdy, unscented silicone probe
-Flexes and moves with you
-Superior suction cup base
-Use with or without a harness

Inside the box, the toy was wrapped in a heat sealed clear plastic bag.

The packaging is constructed so it folds flat and would recycle nicely.

The box is 8.5 inches tall (not including the built in hang tag)
4.0 inches wide
3.0 inches deep

Straight forward packaging that describes accurately what it inside .

Disclaimer: When it comes to reviews, I only give out 5 stars to perfect toys. This one is so very close. I'm only knocking it down because for me it just isn't girthy enough. This is a great toy, and I suspect it would be a perfect 5 star toy for most.

It is a better quality than some silicone dildos I have that are twice the price. California Exotics did a great job with this one, and it is just a great all-star toy.

For me, I'm pretty binary in my toys; it's either about the g-spot or the clit. Since this is a dildo, with a wonderfully angled head, this toy was all about the internal for me.

This toy has a longer than "usual" instertable length, and coupled with the head angle and design, I just couldn't and didn't want to stop experiencing the pleasure I could enjoy because this dildo could comfortably reach places that other toys aren't long enough to hit, including my cervix.

The Love Rider was most definitely a great ride. I would really suggest you saddle up and give it a ride.
