Tentacle - dildo discontinued by Whipspider rubberworks - review by Dawn (Lilac Distraction)

If you've ever had fantasies involving tentacle monsters and can't help but wonder what it would be like, this realistic tentacle dildo is just the thing for you. The Tentacle is not only incredibly life-like, but also highly functional for G-spot and vaginal stimulation. It also works wonders in the fantasy department, and doubles as an interesting conversation piece when used as environmental decoration. "Wow, that's a pretty cool sculpture. I've never seen anything like it. Where'd you get that?" "It's actually a dildo." "You've got to be kidding me. That's very strange, and very bad ass at the same time."

It makes for a wonderful time when used with a partner. Your lover into anime? Hentai? They'll get as much of a kick out of this as you do. But hey, it's also quite satisfying for solo encounters as well. It may be a bit intimidating for beginners or anyone freaked out by the thought of tentacles all in their netherregions, but that's a bit obvious.

It's not conventionally anal safe because of the lack of a "flared base", but it would be pretty hard to lose this thing inside anything else. The base of the dildo does get quite wide and flatter towards the bottom.

Squishy silicone is the perfect material for this dildo because it adds to the realism of it. When you squish it it does make a little bit of a crackly noise, but it fits the design quite well. Silicone is one of the top toy materials out there, so it's a total win-win situation here. You can sterilize this baby so you can bestow tentacle love with your friends. It holds up to use incredibly well which preserves the design and detail of the piece.

The texture. Wow. The Tentacle doesn't play around here. The detail of the design makes for a very intense experience. Personally, it was a bit much and a little uncomfortable, but part of me wonders if that was intentional. I mean, tentacle sex isn't generally supposed to be comfortable, right? I requires quite a bit of lube to work things out well for a happy vagina.

To make it even more of an intense experience, this tentacle is tapered and quite girthy at the bottom end, but the gradual increase in size gives you some control over what you're working with. It's 7" long which doesn't seem like much, but the bottom 2 1/4" diameter is pretty intense. It does start out at less than an inch, though. The texture may be overwhelming to some, as it only goes down one side of the dildo. It's a strange thing to have such extreme texture on one side while having it completely smooth on the other, but again, weird is normal for this thing.

This thing is freaking beautiful. There's so much intricate detail in it and the colors are amazing. Not to mention, it glows in the dark. Even if this was a sculpture I'd still feel the overwhelming urge to have it. It's incredibly realistic for a tentacle which adds to the amazing fantasy aspect of it all.

This is also something I can leave sitting on my desk and people either pay no attention to it or comment on how it's "an interesting piece of art".

As a dildo, it functions incredibly well, but in a way of its own. It sets itself apart in the world of insertable objects. While other dildos have an incredibly physical approach to pleasure, this one adds in a wonderful world of fantasy to the mix.

If this was a typical dildo, I might not have been as impressed, as the texture is a little too much sometimes, and the tapered shape can be a but awkward. I don't truly consider these to be incredibly negative, however because of what the whole piece adds to the experience.

Silicone is extremely easy to care for, but this dildo requires a little extra love. Generally, silicone is good to go with a dash of hot water and antibacterial cleanser or a boil, but the nooks and crannies do tend to like to get gunk in them. It's important to give the dildo a good rinse after use because dried crusty things are much harder to remove. The silicone in this one is mildly tacky, but it doesn't seem to grab lint and dust as much as other silicone pieces tend to.

Make sure you store this dildo and any silicone away from sharp objects which can damage the material. No silicone lubes, either. Stick to a water-based one here.

I collect toys and I'm into some rather odd and unique things, so this was bound to end up in my hands and I'm incredibly glad that it did. I don't use it as much as I do my other toys, as it's more of a special occasion piece, but it is greatly appreciated as a collector's item. In fact, some times I do leave it chilling in random locations in my habitat because a dildo is only half of the appeal. It's an incredible work of art aside from that.
