Share - double ended dildo by Fun Factory - review by Peg

The Share is designed for harness-free sex; it will work with a harness if that is ones preference. The harness-free feature was the major factor in making this purchase. Tangled straps on a harness can be a mood killer, and who wants to have their mood killed? We use our Share for pegging and have to say that the Share works GREAT, although it can be used by two women, also. The pony end (the end that goes in the woman) does appear to be a bit intimidating at first. A little foreplay and lube makes for easy insertion for us. Once in, the cock end is a bit floppy due to the weight of the toy. The cock end has a semi-realistic head that aids in lining things up and provides nice internal and P-spot stimulation. Penetration can be a little bit tricky due to the floppiness but is easy to overcome once you get used to it. Have lots of lube handy since the lube tends to run off the base due to smooth texture. The shape of the base is designed to stimulate the labia and clit and can be used for solo play, as well.

The Share is made from what the manufacturer calls 100% medical grade silicone and is available in three colors: pink, purple, and black. Silicone is latex free, non-porous, Phthalates free, and hypo-allergenic, so I assume 100% medical grade means it would be acceptable for some sort of medical use, although the manufacturer states that this a novelty toy and not meant for medical use. We have the pink one and noticed no new toy smell or any other detracting quality. The smooth texture and shaped head provide nice stimulation to the receiver, and the giver is stimulated, as well, by the way it rests against the labia and clit. The overall feel of the Share is firm but flexible and bends at the base of the pony end. The bend is where the shape of the toy changes from horizontal to vertical. The toy should be able to be enjoyed by anyone with enough lube and foreplay.

The Share was designed with a woman in mind as the wearer. The pony end is shaped to allow the vaginal muscles to grip it and hold it in place. Even though it looks large, it fits comfortably inside once fully inserted. There is about six inches of insertable length on the shaft, and its diameter is slightly under two inches, making it comfortable for most individuals who are on the receiving end. The overall size of the Share should make it an enjoyable experience for most individuals. If you plan to travel with it, it will take about as much room as a pair of shoes does.

The best part of the Share for us was being able to use it without a harness. Insertion was simple, and once in place there was no hassling with straps and re-positioning of a harness. One thing the Share does do is let you know the state of your PC muscles. It can be used to help exercise them since you can feel how tight of a grip you have on it. The shape of the tip provided him noticeable stimulation compared to other toys we have, and the base and pony provided her both internal and external stimulation with every thrust. The manufacturer states that the Share is designed to "give love and to share passion." The performance that we experienced lives up to that statement.

Being made of silicone, the Share should only be used with water based lubricants. Its smooth texture makes clean-up a breeze. Cleaning can be accomplished with mild soap and water, toy cleaners, and disinfected by boiling it for three minutes. The box makes for a convenient storage box and is about the size of a small shoe box.

The box the Share is packaged in makes for a great storage container. The front of the box has two small magnets that hold it closed. When opened, the clear plastic window allows you to see the toy, and the flaps have product descriptions printed in German, French, English, and Spanish. Also included under the toy are two samples of toy fluid and two Fun Factory product brochures, one which has the use and care directions.

The only thing that was a challenge was the pony end would slip out in certain positions. It did, however, slide back in easily and could be held in place with minimal effort. A harness probably would hold it in place, but having to hold it there was not the end of the world and is just the motivation to work on those kegels.
