Design and materials
This dildo is made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), a soft, flexible material that mimics skin-like texture. The toy features a realistic shape with pronounced balls at the base, adding visual and tactile detail. The total length is 21.5 cm (8.5 inches), with an insertable length of 16.5 cm (6.5 inches) and a diameter of 3.8 cm (1.5 inches). The most practical feature is the integrated suction cup base, which allows you to attach the toy to smooth, flat surfaces for hands-free use—useful for solo play or partnered play without holding it.
What it's like to use
Because there's no motor, battery or power source required, this toy is entirely manual. You control the pace and depth of use, which some people prefer as it offers simple, direct control without noise or complexity. The suction cup base works best on smooth surfaces like tiles, shower walls, or glass, giving you the option to mount it and use it hands-free if desired. The realistic texture and firm-yet-flexible TPE material provide satisfying feel during use.
Cleaning and care
TPE is porous and should be cleaned thoroughly after each use with warm water and mild soap, or a toy cleaner if you prefer. After washing, pat it dry with a clean towel and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep it away from extremely hot environments, as TPE can degrade at high temperatures. The suction cup base can also be wiped clean with the same warm, soapy water.
