The Softee ballsy super - realistic dildo discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by fghjkl

The Softee can be used by almost anyone, as long as they're a size queen.

Solo - It's great for solo thrusting. It is pretty big, so you might have to warm yourself up a bit before insertion and remember to lube it up really well.

With a partner - There are a couple of ways to use Softee with a partner. It has an awesome flared base and balls that make for a great handle if you're going to be hand thrusting it. Due to its size, I do suggest taking a bit of caution when doing this because it can easily bruise the cervix. Softee is also O-ring compatible.

Anally - I would suggest using this anally only if you like MONSTROUS-sized toys in your ass. It is safe to insert anally because of its flared base.

Make sure to throw on a condom if you are using it anally or if you're sharing it with a partner.

The Softee is made of a super plush and semi-realistic Sil-a-Gel. Ladies and gentlemen, I have found a new love. I still love my super safe silicone, but now it's like I have a lover on the side.

Sil-a-Gel is latex-, phthalates-, and cadmium-free. It also has an anti-bacterial property that lowers the risk of transferring harmful bacteria. If, like me, you're wondering what the effects of cadmium in a sex toy are, EdenFantasys does a great job at explaining it in the material guide. As the guide states, "cadmium is a metal known to cause cancer and used as a stabilizer in most PVC made products."

It does collect lint and hair very easily, so make sure you wash it before and after each use. It also has a lot of drag so you will want to lube it up.

The first thing that I noticed, upon opening the packaging, was the smell. It's a really strong mixture of rubber, floral, and sweet. The smell will probably be very overwhelming for most. I had it in my toy box, out of the packaging, for a couple of days and it had stunk up the whole box. Another thing that I noticed right away was the size. This thing is a behemoth and I probably wouldn't recommend it for beginners. It's super soft, plush, and realistic, other than the bright pink color. I was expecting a much more flaccid toy, because of the name "Softee," but this thing has just the right firmness for filling me up. Although it is pretty bendable and flexible, it's firm enough for thrusting and hassle-free insertion. I am happy to report that Softee tastes like absolutely nothing (yes, I do taste all my toys).

It is rated a 5 on the Eden safety scale and it is semi-porous.

It's shaped like a penis and has realistic balls, a head, and veins. Doc Johnson really did an amazing job on the Softee; it's gorgeous to look at and it feels amazing. The textured veins along the shaft are very noticeable when in use and the pronounced head provides a realistic popping sensation when inserted. It's 8 inches long, with an insertable length of 7 inches. It has a diameter of 1 3/4 inches and weighs 20 oz. This thing is big and bulky and not the best for travel.

Softee isn't a fan of discreetness. He likes being big, pink, and obvious.

The Softee doesn't offer any pinpoint G-spot stimulation, but does a wonderful job of giving that filling sensation. Softee has fast become one of my favorite dildos. It works great solo, with my boyfriend, in the shower, and even in the tub. The only thing that I long for, on occasion, is a suction cup base. Other than that, this guy is a super trooper when it comes to filling me up!

Softee is very low maintenance. Just wash it under warm water with some soap or toy cleaner and make sure that it's fully dry before storing. The two most popular lube types, silicone- and water-based, are both compatible with this dildo. You have to make sure to properly store the Softee or else it will share its smell with other toys and collect all kinds of lint.

The Softee comes in a normal plastic clamshell packaging. The insert, on the other hand, is the coolest thing ever! It's covered in psychedelic swirls and bubbles. It reminds me of the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" artwork. I love it!

The insert has no care instructions or usage information, other than "Do not attempt to warm this product in a microwave or conventional oven," which is very important. It does talk a bit about the safety features of the Sil-a-Gel material. There is also a little box that tells you to go to the Doc Johnson website for warranty information and product registration.

I really, really love my Softee. He's fun to look at, play with, and use. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the smell. Although I didn't particularly dislike the smell, it was way too strong and stuck to everything.
