Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today...to talk about my favorite dildo. 🍆 💜
Did I buy this dildo because it was beautiful? Yes. Was it worth it? Again, yes.
On the left, is me literally picking up my table because the suction cup base of this dildo is so strong. On the right, I'm effortlessly picking up a mirror with the base.
Because the base is round and flared, it makes this dildo perfectly suitable for anal since the base will prevent it from slipping all the way in or making it too difficult to remove.
And yes, that base also means it's harness compatible, so you can use it with your favorite strap-on harness and indulge in some strap-on sex with your lover. Want proof? Here's what one reviewer had to say:
Promising review: "This piece works really well in a strap-on that I bought elsewhere, and also for self-pleasuring! Not too long to wield on myself but not difficult to wield on others either. I find it cleans easily, and the suction cup makes it such a cute addition to my shower!" —Emma C.
Here's a popular harness ($119.95+ from Amazon) that can definitely accommodate the Purple Rain! Or if you want to shop around, read more about some of the best strap-on dildos and harnesses.
The specifics: Purple Rain is 7.5 inches long with 6 inches of insertable length. Girthwise, it's 4.5 inches around and 1.5 inches wide at its widest point.
Here are a few compatible lubes that are popular on Amazon:
#Lube Life ($5.99+ on Amazon) is a popular water-based lubricant with over 100K reviews and is a simple and straightforward lube to help things go smoothly.
Sliquid's hybrid lubricant ($18.95 on Amazon) is created with a blend of water and silicone, making it versatile enough for vaginal and anal play.
Wicked has a silicone-based lubricant specifically for anal play ($9.83+ on Amazon) in case you plan on using your dildo internally from the back.
Personally, I use these antibacterial wipes when I'm in a rush or before a session, since they are easy to use and disposable. Before storing, I'll hand wash the dildo with antibacterial soap and then follow up by spraying it down with toy cleaner. I clean my toys thoroughly and often enough that I don't feel the need to boil them, but it is an option.
The Puff Compact Suction vibrator by Unbound ($48 on Unbound, Anthropologie, and Urban Outfitters; on the right) is my tried and true clitoral toy. It's waterproof and has five intensities, so you can slowly ride each one to bliss while enjoying the dildo inside you.
You could also try a wand vibrator, like the powerful Le Wand rechargeable wand vibrator ($179.99 on Le Wand; on the left) or this miniature Shibari wand vibrator ($19.95+ on Amazon).
The Foria arousal oil ($48 at Madewell and Anthropologie) is my favorite, and it can be used externally and internally. It truly does help you feel everything because of its CBD formula and blend of organic extracts, which help increase blood flow and arousal. I recommend applying the arousal oil before you play, then using lube for penetration. The oil's not compatible with latex condoms, but it won't break down the latex-free, non-porous dildo.
I got mine from a small business, Spectrum Boutique, because there were more in-depth reviews of this specific toy than on Amazon.
Promising reviews: "This was my first toy, and it blew my mind and changed my life. It's firm yet flexible, and the longer length is good if you, for instance, like a hand on it as you go at it. I've tried squishier and textured toys since, but they don't do it for me like this. A+ would recommend for beginners or anyone." —Katiepmann
"Ok, so I ordered this a couple months ago, and I use it REGULARLY, like daily. Feels soooo real. It’s squishy but also has firmness, and it’s so soft to the touch. Feels lovely paired with the water-based lube that I also ordered from this site. And it’s so cute!! Suction cups to everything well. 10/10." —DakotahC
"I fell in love with first touch. I was looking for a dildo that would fit my strap-on harness and that I could bond with as my dick. This one is so soft to the touch, I cannot keep my hands off it. Plus the super strong suction on it is perfect if, say, you would like to ride the wall...it will hold strong!" —NOODS
