Hello,
I have become aware that someone has contacted you and mentioned my video of the Lattachino Double Head Dildo.
The link to the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_T757JNjBM
I am a sex toy reviewer and post my reviews at http://thelesbianlifestyle.com/.
This video was not included in my review for The Lesbian Lifestyle (read the review at:
http://thelesbianlifestyle.com/2009/06/25/tll-adult-review-glass-lattachino-double-dildo/), I made the video afterward to show fellow reviewers and consumers that this dildo is hollow, which is not noted in the description.
I received this Don Wands dildo through SexToy.com, and if there is any doubt as to whether this dildo is an actual Don Wands product, you are welcome to contact Domina who coordinates the sex toy reviews at their site, and her email is: domina@sextoy.com.
The product is on sextoy.com and the description is viewable at this link: http://sextoy.com/prod_info.php?a=sextoycom&pnum=CNVGI-9887
The description states: “This smooth double ended wand is a uniquely crafted wand and is one of the most beautiful hand blown wands available. Striped and solid twisting bands of brilliant color come together to create a truly functioning piece of art. For those of you who like to share the fun, and are searching for a glass pleasure wand with added length and 2 realistic tips, this is the perfect choice. The 1in diameter shaft wand widens to approximately 1 1/4in in the center with an approximate 9in overall length.” – sextoy.com
The description does not state the dildo is hollow to the average sex toy consumer, and so I made the video to show my fellow reviewers on Twitter what I meant when I said it was hollow. This may be a common way to make glass dildos, but I would not use a dildo knowing it was hollow. On the large end, the end with the hole, the glass is very thin which makes me concerned about it’s safety regarding whether or not it will break during use.
I discovered it had a hole when I first used it, using the large end inserted vaginally, and discovered the toy had taken condensation on inside. Perhaps it isn’t glue, but there was something plugging the hole – and it had definitely been there prior to use – which I fished out with a pin. It looked to me like glue or some clear rubbery thing. I then proceeded to clean it and it took on water. You may say that these dildos are manufactured with holes and not plugged afterwards, but I and everyone I have spoken to have been disgusted at the idea of masturbating with something that takes on bodily fluids and cannot be cleaned thoroughly.
My review, while ultimately highlighting this flaw which prevents my recommending it to others, was in all other regards respectful and discusses how gorgeous the dildo was and how much I love it in all other regards, aesthetics, size, material, etc. I understand this manufacturing process necessitates a hole, but the surface material of the large head seems very thin, and I feel that the hole should be sealed to ensure it is sanitary, as otherwise it is an easy breeding ground for germs.
I believe you are aware of this product error in my promotional item for review, because Domina told me she had talked with someone at Don Wands and that someone at Don Wands has planned to send a replacement because my product should not be as it is. If this is the case, I never have recieved the replacement item. If this is not the case, I wonder if my item is truly a fluke? Do they not all take on water?
Thank you,
C
