I just experienced a first! I literally have a room full of sex toys (I’m not joking… I have a literal room dedicated to just boxes of sex toys) so I’m always amazed when I get a toy I’ve never experienced before… in this case it’s a double ended dildo. Can you believe I have never used a double ended dong before!? I’m pretty flabbergasted… it’s one of those toys that has always played a prominent role in my sexual fantasies… and yet I’ve never owned one… never tried one… never even been in the same room as one. HOW HAVE I MADE IT THIS FAR WITHOUT ONE?!
Thankfully, SheVibe exists… and they sent me the Blush Novelties Dr. Skin Double Dildo… so I could finally fulfill my double dong dreams. Okay… they didn’t read my mind or anything… I requested this double ended dildo… because I had urges I needed to satisfy. You understand.
The Dr. Skin is 18 glorious inches of dildo magic. What does a person need with 18 inches of dildo you ask?! What doesn’t a person need with 18 inches of dildo?! It is ridiculously large… but also… ridiculously awesome. Besides, everyone knows that 18 inches has been scientifically proven to be the perfect length for a a wagglin’ dildo. You know… a dildo that you waggle at someone… a wagglin’ dildo… come on, everyone knows what a wagglin’ dildo is. Having an extra long dildo is also awesome for partner play and its sometimes nice to just have a little more length to work with. For me, having an extra long, double ended dildo was all about fulfilling my DP fantasies…without ever actually having to meet, speak to, or get involved with another human being. Because I try to do as little of that as possible. Girth-wise the Dr. Skin is a little less impressive… but somewhat more realistic… measuring in with a width of 1.6 inches (which I believe is right around the human penis average). The Dr. Skin is available in two skin tone colors- Chocolate, which is what is featured in this review and caramel.
If you over look the fact that it is extra long penis of the human centipede variety (you know… two dicks stuck together…although it isn’t ass to mouth… its more… shaft to shaft… like… they are connected where the balls should be… but those have been viciously removed to make way for the fusing of to penis shafts. Okay, I know this isn’t technically one of my Spooky Month reviews… but I’m starting to feel like it could be…), it is actually a fairly realistic dildo. It has a soft, realistic feel to it (although not as realistic as say VixSkin or other dual density dildos) as well as a very phallic look. It has a pretty pronounced head and coronal ridge along with an extra veiny shaft. Both ends of the double dildo are identical (twinsies!).
Being able to DP myself with a single toy was a super hot experience. I tried using the Dr. Skin in two different ways… first I tried inserting both ends into my vagina… this required a lot of lube, a bit of a warm up, and some patience… but it was worth it. It was somewhat hard to keep the dildo in place though, it didn’t seem to like being doubled over like that and did all it could to spring free from my vagina, I had to keep a hand on it in order to keep it in place. Next I tried one end in my vagina and brought the other end down to my butthole… okay… technically I started it with it in my butthole and brought the other end up to my vagina… it was a little easier to maneuver that way. This was also a truly excellent feeling… both holes felt satisfyingly full… and when I added a vibrator to my clit… I caused myself to squirt. There is one last way I really want to try a double ended dildo… which is with a second vagina… which is what many of my masturbatory fantasies have been made of. I’ll let you know when I finally make that happen.
Okay, the only issue I really had with the Dr. Skin double ended dildo was keeping track of which end I used for which hole… this didn’t matter if i was using both ends in my vagina… but this became an issue when I had one in the stink and.. uh… one in the pink (that was bad, why did you let me write that?). I didn’t want to cross-contaminate the anal end with my precious vagina… so I just had to do a little more thinking (and the occasional sniff test… you’ll know which one goes where… also, gross… why did you let me write that too?).
So material-wise, it’s not made from silicone. I made the mistake of not reading the product page close enough… I saw “Body Safe” on the photo of the packaging and just assumed silicone and didn’t look much further. I’ve gotten so used to Blush Novelties toys being silicone… I didn’t think this wouldn’t be. So the Dr. Skin Double Dildo is actually made from a non-porous PVC, which Blush says is lab certified body safe… I’m not exactly sure what that means… but I really want to believe both Blush and SheVibe have my best interest at heart and aren’t sending me anything toxic. Although everything I’ve ever been told about sex toy materials has always labeled PVC as bad… so I don’t know. I am not a materials expert, I’ve done a fair amount of reading, but there seems to still be a lot I don’t know… but when it comes to PVC being labeled as bad it’s because it’s usually porous and likely to contain phthalates as well as other irritating chemicals that can cause bad reactions. But, along with being non-porous the Dr. Skin is also advertised as being phthalate, paraffin, latex, and fragrance free – those are all good things. So, is there really such a thing as body safe PVC? I had no bad reactions to this particular toy… and I have super sensitive skin that has reacted badly to poor quality materials in the past… so I’m inclined to tolerate the whole PVC thing… although I may not recommend it as enthusiastically as I would a toy made from something I know to be safe – like silicone.
Okay, I couldn’t let this PVC thing go… I tried to move on and finish this review, but I couldn’t… I still had questions. So, here is what I dug up… apparently Blush has some sort of proprietary PVC compound. Their PVC is nonporous (which someone compared to it being like the PVC pipes that carry our home drinking water) and that it is softened with a body-safe, phthalate and paraffin free plasticizer. So, while Blush’s PVC toy may be safe to use… don’t let this lull you into a false sense of security in regards to other PVC toys… most PVC is still on the “do not want” list… so use your best judgement. I still feel a bit suspicious of this… like… why not just make it from silicone?
Cleaning the Dr. Skin is pretty easy… although you don’t have as many options as you would with a silicone dildo. It seems like the general advice is, don’t boil or put your PVC toys in the dishwasher. So, when it comes time to clean your Dr. Skin you will have to use mild soap and warm water. The veins really wanted to hold onto lube and vag goo… so I had to give it a bit of a scrub before it was actually clean, but it wasn’t so bad that I had to bust out the sex toy cleaning toothbrush!
Storing this beast is tricky… I don’t even particularly care about being discreet… and I’m still having trouble on finding a place to store this thing! I had it under my bed breifly, but it was collecting ALL the dust. So I moved is into my office, but it doesn’t fit in any of the designated sex toy drawers and its longer than all of my sex toy storage bins. So at this moment its kind of just laying in the middle of the room… because I admitted defeat and tossed it down there. Okay, I know what you are saying… just fold it in half… but I tried that, it is just stiff enough that it doesn’t fold neatly and it was just trying to spring open and knocking other things out of place in my drawers… the Dr. Skin has a mind of its own and can not be tamed. So, keep that in mind if you are trying to store your Dr. Skin discreetly after use… you might need to buy a special box or bag just for it. Or you can just be like me and let it live in the middle of your floor. I’m going to get so used to just stepping over it that I’ll forget its there until someone comes over and asks me why I have an enormous dick on the floor… and I’ll just shrug and say “Doesn’t everyone?”
I want to recommend the Dr. Skin… but I’m having a hard time doing so enthusiastically, because of the whole PVC thing. Even though Blush claims that it is safe… and I want to trust them… because we are besties… PVC just doesn’t sit 100% well with me. It does seem like a lot of the double ended dildos out there are made from a jelly material (which is definitely toxic) so if you are looking at one of those jelly horrors, I would without hesitation recommend you choose the Dr. Skin over any of those. However… if you are trying to decide between a silicone double ended dildo and this… take the silicone. Browsing SheVibe’s Double Dildo category real quick, I could only find two brands who offered a silicone double dildo and they are not exactly budget friendly (both falling around that $50+ range… which I know can be a deal breaker for some), but one of those brands is Blush… so they have the ability to make silicone double ended dildos. Their Ruse 18 Inch Double Dildo is made from my much preferred material (silicone) and looks nearly identical to the Dr. Skin… except for the color… it comes in awesome non-skin tone colors. So… here is where I think I stand with Dr. Skin… if money is an issue and you can’t spring for the silicone Ruse, then I would recommend the Blush Novelties Dr. Skin. Materials aside, I really did enjoy the Dr. Skin… it is well made, the length and girth were almost perfect… I loved the texture of the shaft… it is a pretty rad dildo! It is also on the more budget friendly side of things (as I mentioned above), being offered for around $25 (at the time of this review).
