10" classic dong - dildo discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by Annemarie

Alone, with someone, with many someones, this thing will make you happy. It's such a classic dong that everyone should own one, just for that one or two times one wants to thrust their brains out, hard and fast. As it has no flared base, it should not be used anally (even despite its size... who would want to?). I find that the best way to use the Classic Dong Royal is just with myself and a little (read: a LOT) of lube.

The material of this dong is rubber. No, it's not the most safest of materials, but it gets the job done and is generally easy to care for. I would love it if this came in silicone, and I've read that Doc Johnson will be releasing their 8 inch in silicone soon. In the mean time, clean this with some gentle soap and water, or a toy cleaner (perhaps one with a scent to it!).

Upon opening, this thing stinks. It smells up the room. Open a window when you open the package. Seriously. Then go wash it several times. It claims it is odorless, and maybe there's so much odor that it comes back around to being odorless. I didn't taste it upon opening, but there's generally no flavor to it (thank goodness!). It feels squishy, but firm. It can be bent to your liking, though it will bounce back. It is vein-y on one side only; the "back" side is fairly non-textured.

Call it basic or classic, it delivers. It's large, large enough to use the bottom 1/3rd (or so) as a handle. The head is large, and the length is long, and the girth is large. It will turn you into a size queen, guaranteed. So, maybe not for the beginner, unless you know you're capable of taking it all or have plenty of lube on hand.

It's realistic (unless you count the lack of a body and/or balls attached), probably not suitable for travel due to its size, and definitely not discreet.

The best thing about this toy is you couldn't consider giving it up once you got it. It's totally classic and/or basic, and will always have a place in your heart/toy box. I know it will in mine.

The not so best thing about it is the smell. I'm hoping it will go away after a couple of washes.

I store it in a large Ziploc bag (to keep the smell away) in my toy box and I find it easy to care for, in the way that most toys can be cared for. Wash it before and after use, and it will last you a good time. It picks up a fair bit of lint, and it's kind of a sticky material, so I'd keep it separate from everything just in case. Rubber is compatible with water-based and silicone-based lubes.

It was packaged in a plastic blister-type package that was easy to open. There were no instructions for cleaning or use in the package. I would not suggest using it as a gift box, but for storage it might be fine if you have the room for it.

Every time I go to think of the Classic Dong Royal, I always end up pronouncing it 'royale,' and then adding a 'with cheese' at the end. For you Pulp Fiction fans.
