From the first use, the hose connection was a problem. As soon as I began pumping, it popped right off. I glued it back on, hoping that would fix it. After repair, I noticed the rubber stretching more on one side than the other. That uneven pull makes that area feel thin and weak. The concern is that with more inflation, it could blow out completely. That is not something I want to risk. While the idea is fine, the execution and build quality are lacking. The hose attachment needs to be stronger, and the material needs more even reinforcement. I would look for a sturdier option if you want something that can handle more than light use. Read more
This is my first inflatable toy, and let me tell you, I’m hooked! The hardest part of using a plug is always getting it in, and with an inflatable, it’s like having a cheat code that lets you skip to the fun part. Measurements: Girth circumference: 4 in (10 cm) at smallest, 9 in (23 cm) when fully inflated with 6 pumps Insertable length: a little over 5 in (13 cm) Before inflation, it’s relatively small, and only semi-rigid. You definitely have to inflate it a tiny bit to make it rigid enough to insert. Some other more expensive toys have solid cores with an inflatable sleeve around them to make insertion easier, but this is really a budget model. For the price, it’s basic but a good value! Pumping this up feels really satisfying and pleasurable. It puts pressure on all the right places. I was able to get up to 8 pumps into it when it failed during testing. By failed, I mean the air pressure was so high that air started to leak out between the tube connector and the base of the plug. It’s not difficult to dislodge the connector and fully separate the plug and tube, which would be important for cleaning. I was impressed that the seal was able to stay intact up to 8 pumps. Moving forward, I’m going to only inflate it up to 6 pumps worth of air. The release valve is super easy to use, well oiled too — just twist counterclockwise and it lets the air out gently. Then twist back clockwise to seal the valve for inflating again. The pump is easy to inflate one-handed, and it’s small, so each pump gives you just enough incremental extra volume to allow for precise control of the size. The connector tube is also the perfect length to keep the pump in your hand by your side, so you (or your partner) can comfortably reach it. Pros: - Inexpensive (these are between $50-150 in local retail stores in my city) - Easy to clean - Small-medium-ish size, good for a beginner, especially someone looking to “up their game,” booty-wise, if you will - Nice flanged base means it’s not getting lost anywhere. Because who wants to explain this to the ER nurse? Not me! Cons: - The seal at the base will (temporarily) fail after 7 or 8 pumps. Sometimes this dislodged the connector and I had to push it back in before re-inflating. I’m not sure if this is just par for the course with inflatable toys because this is my first one. I do wish it could inflate like 50% more without failing. - No solid core makes insertion a bit clumsy, especially since it gets slippery with lube This is something that I didn’t expect to necessarily like so much, but now I’m excited to look into other larger and more advanced inflatables. In the meantime, this is definitely going into my regular toy rotation. Read more
