Size matters and this toy is not for the faint of heart

A good toy for anal stimulation, but not for everyone. Size will be a plus for some and a frustration for others, so you need to have a realistic expectation of what your body is capable of.

Use

The Share XL is a double-ended dildo which can be used either with a partner or solo. It could be used for either strap-on sex or for pegging. It is intended to be used without the need for a harness; however, it can be used with a harness if you desire a bit more stability. In my opinion, this toy is on the large size with respect to anal use, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with limited pegging experience.

Material / Texture

The toy is made from 100% silicone, which requires the use of a water based lube. For vaginal insertion, I would recommend a glycerin-free, water-based lube, as lube containing glycerin may cause vaginal infections.

The material is firm, but it does have some give to it, which is a plus for anal play. The material itself has a smooth texture although the toy does have multiple ridge-like features molded into it. It has no real discernible odor or taste.

Design / Shape / Size

As the name implies, this toy is about size. Before anyone considers purchasing this toy, I strongly recommend that they use the great 1:1 feature on EdenFantasys in order to get a good grasp of the size of this toy. My wife's first time trying to insert the G-spot bulb into her vagina was difficult for her even with considerable lube. Once she did manage to get it fully seated, it was not comfortable for her and thus did not make the experience enjoyable for us. Since then, it has been relegated to her using it on me or solo use.

With regards to anal use, depending on your experience/comfort level, you may need to use some smaller toys to warm up for this one. Copious amounts of lube are recommended. I found that the ridges on the toy made the initial insertion of the toy somewhat challenging; however, once you had it in, they added a pleasurable sensation during use. I found this toy to provide a very good sense of fullness once inserted and provided good P-spot stimulation.

When using solo, the other end does make for a convenient handle.

Performance

This toy works well for those who have experience with anal play and are capable of handling the size of this toy. It provides a good sense of fullness once inserted and good P-spot stimulation. The ridges, while making initial insertion challenging for me, provided nice stimulation of the anus during use. Vibration would have been a nice feature, but not a critical loss.

As mentioned above, we have only tried to use this toy once for pegging and due to the discomfort my wife experienced, she isn't too keen on trying again anytime soon with this toy.

I have been told that it is harness compatible and that one should considering using it with a harness if they feel that it's not stable enough otherwise.

Care and Maintenance

Being 100% silicone, it can be cleaned with antibacterial soap, a 10% bleach solution, by boiling, or by placing in the top rack of the dishwasher. If you choose to use the dishwasher method, be sure to turn off any heated drying option that your dishwasher may have. It should only be air-dried.

Particular care also needs to be paid to the base of the ridges when cleaning, as material does tend to build up in those areas.

The box that the toy came in is actually quite nice and can be used to store the toy if desired.

Packaging

The packaging which the toy came in was actually quite nice, heavy paperboard. There is a flap on the front of the box which can be opened to reveal a window, through which the toy is displayed. One could use this box to store the toy if they so desired.

There were limited instructions provided with packaging.

The packaging did include a sample packet of the Fun Factory's brand of lube. I found it to be a bit too thin for my liking.
