Lovehoney BASICS Slimline Anal Starter Dildo 6 Inch

We were fortunate enough to receive this in exchange for an honest review. Thanks, Lovehoney.

We received the dildo in the usual inconspicuous LH brown plain packaging. Upon opening the box the dildo packaged in a moulded transparent plastic container, this allows you to view the dildo before opening. It was surrounded by a purple display on the front and rear of the container, here you can find useful tips for use.

As the Slimline title denotes it is small in girth measuring in at around 3.5 inches. So this product would be ideal for individuals or couples who are considering an anal dildo as it is not as intimidating as other models available. Again having an insertable length of 6 inches means that it is not too daunting. This is our first anal dildo.

The dildo is very well made, even though it is marketed under the Lovehoney BASICS brand, do not be fooled we have always found the BASICS range to be a high-end product for a low-end price. The shaft has many realistic contours from the ridge of rippled skin behind the head to the vein-like features extending almost its entire length. These bring a pleasant sensation during insertion.

We found it easy to use, despite being very flexible it was still rigid enough.

My wife found it both pleasurable as a vaginal and anal toy, she could not climax from it alone, however.

After a play, it was easily cleaned using LH Toy Cleaner.

We were lucky enough to be chosen to try this anal dildo for an honest review and I'm so happy with it.

My first impression was it was not very firm. I have previously had experience of anal penetration with plugs and beads but never an actual dildo so I wasn't sure what to expect. I did however still expect it to be firmer as my vaginal dildos are. Although I soon realised that it was the perfect firmness. It was wonderfully shaped and worked perfectly.

My husband applied a good anal lube and gently slid the dildo inside me. I found it very comfortable from the first insertion. The shape of the head helped it slide in with relative ease and even with someone else in control it was comfortable throughout.

We have tried it now in a few positions and with or without other toys. It sent amazing sensations throughout the entire area and it didn't take long for us to find the best ways to use it and what worked for us.

This is a great addition to our collection and we will be watching for more from this range.

We hadn't tried many anal dildos before so were looking forward to receiving this slimline toy as part of LH's Sex Toy Testing programme.

The colour of the toy is more of a transparent purple rather than a full purple, and we were surprised how flexible it was when it arrived.

Although the toy is classed as an anal dildo, my wife used it for vaginal use too.

The product is pretty slim so would suggest it is great for "anal first-timers". It has a realistic feel to it too. The suction cup on the base of the dildo worked fine and held its position when stuck to a surface (door, tiles, wall etc).

So, we used this product in a number of ways. Firstly, my OH used it on herself for anal, solo play. She also used it for vaginal play whilst she sucked me off, experimenting with two cocks was a first. We also used it for some DP play and it fitted great alongside my cock.

Being quite new to anal play, my OH also used it on me. I was quite nervous so we used plenty of lube and it felt great. I may have been slightly concerned with a more-girthier toy.

We used the suction cup feature to create a spit roasting scene and found the toy did not come free during play.

Overall a great, good value for money toy.
