This is my favorite dildo. When I try a new sex toy, I always open a notepad document on my phone and keep it handy to jot down thoughts and comments about the toy I’m using. I just opened the file I created for the Uberrime Splendid dual-density dildo and there are five words typed on it: this is my favorite dildo.
Uberrime is a small sex toy operation that creates and sells handmade dildos and other toys. Each one starts with a sculpture and that sculpture is used to produce a finished toy made with body-safe platinum silicone. The proprietor and craftsman behind the Uberrime line is Marco, and he recently sent me two of his creations, the Essential – which I reviewed last week (my review) – and the similarly-shaped Splendid dildo, which I tried out after the first one. Peepshow Toys – which facilitated this test drive – is currently stocking three different models of this dildo.
Like the Essential, the Splendid is made of silicone and features a beautiful realistic shape. There’s a nice sturdy anal-safe base that works equally well at supporting the toy during use and keeping it from slipping out of your grasp and into the depths of your dildo-loving hole. The shaft is fairly thick (1.5 inch diameter) and has lots of raised veins and textures. There’s a swell curve to the shaft, which comes in handy if you like a dildo to glide into your P-spot for prostate stimulation. The head on this toy is even more pronounced and (in my glans-loving opinion) fucking hot to look at. It feels great. If your hole likes the sensation of a full swollen knob teasing it or your prostate can appreciate being rubbed by a defined cockhead, you’re going to love this dildo. There’s also a nice raised ridge that looks and feels like a retracted foreskin. Design-wise, it’s beautifully done. I liked the appearance of the Essential a lot, but I can’t stop admiring the looks of this one. And it’s pretty to look at!
Like the other toy, this one is handsomely crafted with two shades of silicone. Instead of a contrasting swirl of two contrasting colors, the Splendid sports a Pearl White shade that gently transitions into one of these three colors: Pearl Pink, Sapphire Blue or Amethyst Purple. As striking as they look in photos, holding one of these handmade toys and examining it up close allows you to truly appreciate the work that goes into creating them. I received the Sapphire Blue/Pearl White one and it’s softly marbled, with a subtle glint of sparkle.
The Splendid in dual blended colors
The biggest difference between this dildo and the other one I tried is the silicone itself. While the Essential is made entirely of medium density silicone, the Splendid is crafted from dual density silicone, which means there’s a firm inner silicone center covered with a softer outer layer of silicone. More work goes into creating a toy like this, but the end result is a dildo that feels pretty lifelike. You can squeeze the softer outer layer and feel the rigidness of the inner core. While the shaft on mine feels solid if you press it, the head seems uniformly soft, which I actually like a lot because it makes penetration more gentle, and it’s a nice touch that gives the dildo a more realistic feel. As good as this feels in your hands, the sensations you get when you bear down on this toy while you’re using it anally are out of this world. I’ve never felt a more lifelike dildo. If you’ve used silicone sex toys before, you know how wonderfully warm they become as the material heats up to your body temperature. Between this warming sensation and bearing down on a dildo that feels like a real dick, it’s seriously mind blowing.
With a lifelike dildo – especially one with great textures – I like to lube it generously (I use Sliquid Sassy water-based lube) and gradually ease it inside me, teasing my hole with the head before sliding it deeper with slow thrusting motions. Once my ass acclimates to the toy, I enjoy giving even deeper thrusts, pulling the dildo almost all the way out, and then sliding it back in to the hilt. Obviously you can use whatever method your taste and experience level dictates, but if you enjoy thrusting with a realistically-shaped toy, the Splendid is perfect for this, especially if you work it all the way in to the base and bear down on it. I mistakenly thought that by trading the firmer texture of the Essential dildo for the dual density composition of this one that the stimulation to my prostate would be compromised. Not so. In fact, the exact opposite happened. I personally had MORE intense prostate stimulation using the Splendid dildo. I think the ease of thrusting had a lot to do with it, but whatever the case, a wild time was had while I was using this toy.
Single color Splendids
Like the other one, the flat base on the Splendid makes it compatible for harness use, so if you enjoy strap-on sex/pegging, you’re definitely going to want to add one of these to your collection. As amazing as it was for a solo session, I can only imagine how blissed out I’d be if a sex partner was driving this in and out of my hole.
As far as drawbacks, I can’t think of any. It’s easy to clean and looks great sitting out between uses (honestly, leaving it out where I can see it just makes me want to drop everything and get it back inside me). At 6.75 inches (6 inches insertable) it’s a decent size, but might come up a little short for those who need something a little bigger, but there are other – bigger – dildos from the Uberrime collection that can meet your needs. (A 9-inch Night King dildo inspired by Game of Thrones? Who doesn’t need that??) The Splendid’s head circumference – at 5.75 inches – is just a tad larger than the shaft circumference (5.5 inches). Water-based lube is recommended for this toy and using a nice slick coat is going to make it much easier to slide this beautiful dildo inside. I can’t think of anything else to say, other than: this is my favorite dildo.
