Remedy Rider is a Resounding "Meh"

The Remedy Rider is best used for vaginal insertion. It is bendable around the middle in all 360 degrees, but does not maintain any bend you give it - making it difficult to use for g-spot stimulation if you have a deep g-spot. The base isn't suited for anal or harness use as it is not tapered. It is small in girth and length, which can be a plus for those who prefer smaller toys.

The Remedy Rider is made of 100% silicone, which has a slight scent when fresh out of the package. It's firm but still bendy and spongy, and overall nicely realistic in the material. While the material is nice, it is slightly tacky and can pick up dust, dirt, and hair easily, so washing before and after use is recommended.

The texture of the shaft and realistic shape of the toy is one of its highlights. The silicone combined with the head and vein texture makes you actually feel like you're holding an erect penis if the vibration is off (and you don't mind that it's hot pink).

One of the bigger selling points and strongest aspects of the Remedy Rider is its realistic design. When inserted, this pretty much feels like the real deal. The size may be an issue for some as it is small, but if you have found other toys to be intimidating or painful, I highly recommend the Remedy for you. I didn't find it stimulating to my g-spot, but some with spots that are shallow may have found it satisfying in that area. I purchased this toy because of prior toys being too big, but found the Remedy to be somewhat lacking in girth.

This toy is somewhat easy to hide because of its small size in comparison with other vibes, especially realistic ones; however, I would not recommend it for travel. It is very clearly meant to be a penis, and cannot be mistaken for anything else. To make matters of discreteness worse, the toy is a bright neon pink. If you aren't traveling with others or do not mind others being aware of the hot pink dick in your suitcase, I would recommend storing it in a bag of some sort due to its affinity for dust and fibers.

The vibrations of this toy are controlled with a simple dial base. In comparison to other dial-based toys, I found the Remedy's dial fairly difficult to turn, even while it wasn't in use. The vibrations are pretty even throughout, although they seem a slight bit more concentrated in the tip of the vibe. I found the vibrations on the remedy to be very weak, and even though I am fairly sensitive to vibrations, I had to keep him on the highest setting possible. However, if you are extremely sensitive, especially internally, you will find that this toy caters to your needs well.

One of the biggest upsides to the Remedy is how quiet is it. Even at the highest setting, I couldn't hear it through the covers. I would highly suggest this toy for someone in a campus or apartment living situation because of the surprisingly small sound.

Since this toy is 100% silicone, it can be cleaned with toy cleaner or soap and water. If you're planning to share, you can boil the Remedy Rider. I personally throw this toy into my drawer, since I found the packaging to be too big and gaudy to keep - but be warned that without storage in some sort of container, this toy will definitely get dirty. I rise mine with a mild soap and water before and after each use, which has made the smell fade significantly, but hasn't reduced the tackiness by much. Since it is silicone, it is not compatible with silicone-based lubricants. I personally use water-based lube without any problem.

The package is a simple plastic clamshell case with a nice design of flowers in the background. I was pleased to see that it wasn't a super porn-y case with naked women as I have seen before. It is pretty standard in listing the features of the toy, and has a sample of the material in the corner which would have been nice if I had bought this toy in a store.
