Design and materials
This dildo measures 24 cm in total length, with an insertable length of 19 cm and a diameter of 4.5 cm, making it a substantial option for those comfortable with larger toys. It's constructed from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), a common material in adult products that offers a soft, skin-like feel.
The toy features a realistic design with textured balls at the base, which some users find visually appealing or enjoy as an additional tactile element. The inclusion of a suction cup base is a practical feature, allowing hands-free positioning on smooth, flat surfaces like tiles, glass or acrylic.
What it's like to use
As a non-powered toy, this dildo relies entirely on manual use. There are no buttons, settings or batteries to manage—you control pace, depth and intensity entirely yourself. This simplicity appeals to those who prefer straightforward products without electronic components or moving parts to worry about.
The suction cup base means you can secure it to a suitable surface for hands-free play if desired, offering flexibility in how you choose to use it. The size—particularly the 4.5 cm diameter and 19 cm insertable length—makes it suited to users with experience using larger toys.
Cleaning and care
TPE material can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap. It's important to dry it thoroughly after washing to prevent moisture retention. The suction cup base should also be kept clean and dry to maintain its gripping ability on smooth surfaces. Store the toy in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as TPE can degrade if exposed to heat or UV light over time.
Buy it if
You prefer manual, battery-free toys with no learning curve or settings to navigate. You're experienced with larger toys and appreciate a realistic design with textured detail. You want the flexibility of a suction cup base for hands-free play options. You're looking for a straightforward, durable product without electronic components.
Skip it if
You prefer smaller, more discreet toys. You're new to using larger dildos and want something more modest in size or diameter. You need a toy that's fully waterproof for use in water, as TPE has limitations in this area. You're uncomfortable with realistic designs and would prefer a more abstract or minimalist aesthetic.
The bottom line
The Loving Joy 9 Inch Dildo with Balls Black is an uncomplicated, well-sized option for experienced users who appreciate manual control and practical features like a suction cup base. Its TPE construction offers a familiar feel, and the realistic design with textured balls appeals to those seeking visual and tactile appeal. There are no surprises—it's a straightforward toy that does what it says on the tin, with no batteries, charging or menus to navigate.
Frequently asked questions
What's the insertable length versus total length?
Total length is 24 cm, but the insertable length is 19 cm. The extra 5 cm accounts for the balls and base at the end.
Does the suction cup base work on all surfaces?
Suction cups work best on smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces such as tile, glass, acrylic and some plastics. Textured surfaces like carpet or fabric won't provide enough grip.
Is TPE durable?
TPE is reasonably durable for regular use, but it can degrade if exposed to high heat, direct sunlight or incompatible lubes over time. Proper storage and care extend its lifespan.
Do I need any special lubricant?
Water-based lubricants are the safest choice for TPE toys. Avoid silicone-based lubes, as they can damage the material.
Is it fully waterproof?
TPE has limitations with water exposure, so whilst it can be rinsed, it's not designed for extended water play or submersion.
