Design and materials
This dildo is made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), a soft, flexible material commonly used in adult toys. The overall length is 19 cm (7.5 inches), with an insertable length of 14.5 cm (5.75 inches) and a diameter of 3.4 cm (1.4 inches), making it moderately proportioned and accessible.
The toy features a realistic design with textured balls at the base, adding visual detail. Its defining feature is the suction cup base, which allows it to attach to smooth, non-porous surfaces—a practical addition for hands-free use on walls, bathroom tiles, or other flat areas.
What it's like to use
Because this is a non-vibrating toy, it relies entirely on manual movement and the user's own control. The suction cup base allows for secured placement on suitable surfaces, freeing your hands if desired. The TPE material provides a soft feel whilst maintaining firmness, and the realistic contours offer tactile variety during use.
The moderate diameter and insertable length make it suitable for a wide range of experiences, whether used solo or with a partner. Since no batteries or charging are required, setup is instant—simply use and enjoy.
Cleaning and care
TPE requires gentle care to maintain longevity. Wash it thoroughly with warm water and mild soap after each use, paying particular attention to the textured balls and any crevices where bacteria could harbour. Rinse completely and pat dry with a soft cloth.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, as TPE can degrade over time under such conditions. Avoid storing it in contact with other silicone or rubber toys, as materials may degrade when in prolonged contact with each other. If using a lubricant, water-based formulas are generally the safest choice with TPE materials.
Buy it if
You're looking for a simple, battery-free toy with realistic aesthetics and a suction cup for versatile positioning. This is a good choice if you prefer manual control without vibration, want instant readiness without charging, or are interested in hands-free play options. It's also suitable if you're new to this category and want something straightforward and practical.
Skip it if
You specifically want vibration or multiple settings—this is purely a manual toy. If you have sensitive skin or known sensitivities to TPE, you may want to explore alternative materials. Those seeking a larger insertable length should also look elsewhere, as 14.5 cm is on the modest side.
The bottom line
The Loving Joy 7 Inch Dildo with Balls Purple is a practical, no-nonsense toy that does what it promises: a soft, realistic design with functional hands-free capability via its suction cup base. It's best suited to those who value simplicity, manual control, and instant usability over advanced features. At its price point, it represents decent value for a TPE toy with a useful additional feature.
Frequently asked questions
Is the suction cup base strong enough for regular use?
The suction cup works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces like tile, glass, or acrylic. Its holding strength depends on the surface and how well it's adhered, so test it carefully before relying on it for extended use.
Can I use this toy with any type of lubricant?
Water-based lubricants are the safest choice with TPE materials. Avoid oil-based or silicone-based lubricants, as these can damage the TPE over time.
How firm is the TPE material?
TPE is softer and more flexible than silicone, offering a realistic feel whilst maintaining enough structure for comfortable use. Firmness varies slightly between manufacturers, so individual experience may differ.
Does it require any setup, charging, or batteries?
No—there's nothing to charge or assemble. Simply clean it before first use, and it's ready to go.
Is TPE durable, and how long will it last?
TPE is reasonably durable if cared for properly, but it can degrade with age, heat exposure, or contact with incompatible materials. With good storage and maintenance, it should provide reliable use for an extended period.
