Lovehoney Luminous Lover Glow-in-the-Dark Silicone Dildo
by Carnalqueen
Dildos are so personal. That may seem like a really obvious thing to say, but honestly I am quite fussy over a dildos particulars, and if I look at one and think it’s not for me, I usually find that I’m right when I go on to try it. I wouldn’t say that I have a rigid inventory of things that I’m looking for when it comes to the perfect dong, but I think I definitely must have some sort of sub-conscious list of dil-do’s and dil-don’ts!
One thing that’s usually pretty consistent is my love of girthier dildos. This Luminous Lover from Lovehoney certainly isn’t what I’d describe as girthy, but I knew the moment I saw it that it had the potential to be something really good. I was keen to take it for a test ride *ahem* to find out!
The glow-in-the-dark element is undoubtedly cute, and adds a touch of humour to proceedings. It also has a small practical purpose too, as providing this dong still has some luminous charge, you’re easily able to find it in even the darkest of rooms. No more scrabbling around under the duvet to find your dildo mid-play, just look for the glow, reach for the stars, and away you go!
This dildo is firm, but it’s not hard. It still has a lovely amount of give to it, and I think the design of it really helps that with its subtle curve. It has a hint of realism to the shape, but it isn’t what I would call a realistic dildo and it certainly doesn’t scream fake penis. The silicone is silky soft, and I love the fact that it’s not the fluff-loving, dust-grabbing stuff that lots of toys seem to be made of. There’s nothing worse than getting a brand new dildo out of it’s packaging and it looking like it’s been rolled around a barbers floor in 0.16372 seconds. I mean yes, after you’ve used it you may accept the presence of a few stray hairs, but absolutely not before it’s been anywhere near my body! No issues like that here, I’m pleased to say.
It’s listed as being 7 inches in length, but realistically it’s more like 6.5 inches of insertable length, and the circumference of the shaft and head ranges between approximately 3.75 to 4.5 inches. It’s got a lovely flared base, which means it’s suitable for both vaginal and anal play, and the bulbous head of the toy lends itself beautifully to g-spot and prostate stimulation. You’re able to get some really precise pinpoint contact if that’s what gets you off! For anal use, I’d say this dildo is a perfect intermediate toy; it might be a touch too big for the complete back-door beginner. The base has a built-in suction cup, which I’ve found works best on horizontal surfaces rather than vertical ones, because although it does stick, it’s definitely not the strongest suction base I’ve ever tried. It’s suitable for use in a harness; you’ll just need an O-ring with a diameter of 1.5 inches. Being silicone, it’s super easy to care for and clean, you can even whack it in the dishwasher if you fancy!
With a little splash of water-based lube, this dildo feels fantastic. It slips and slides beautifully, whilst keeping the pressure up in the places I want it to. When paired with a clit vibe or something like the Womanizer, it feels AMAZING! In fact, that’s probably one of my favourite ways to use a dildo like this; I just love the full feeling as I start to allow a clitoral orgasm to build. If I’m on my own, I can just allow my inner walls to clench and tighten around the shaft, which feels delicious. If CK and I are using it together, he gets to work his magic and use it to furiously stimulate my g-spot, and that’s totally mind-blowing! Although I can work on my g-spot myself, it’s just never the same as when he does it!
All in all I think this dildo is definitely a winner! I love the shape and style, and I think the glow-in-the-dark design is cute AF. It’s definitely giving me Halloween vibes too, so it’s perfect for this time of year.
