Even though I’ve refused to tell my friends and family my blog’s actual name, I’m happy to yap on about what goes down here whenever I get the chance. We talk about my stories and, more often than not, sex toys. Recently, a friend shocked the shit out of me when she announced that, despite my warnings (and occasional death threats) she still buys toxic/porous toys. Why? Cos she thinks that silicone ones are too expensive. I nearly tripped over my own tongue in my haste to prove her wrong. It was easily done, cos just so happened to have the Temptasia Elvira sat in my review pile.
The Elvira is a silicone dildo that’s made by one of my favorite ‘we do a bit of everything’ brands, Blush Novelties. And do you know how much it costs? A mere $27.60 if you’re shopping at SheVibe (or £23.99 in the UK). My mate paid $35.99 (£29.99) for her rubbery monstrosity. That’s a significant difference in price, right? But when I compared the two products, I pointed out that the only real difference between them in terms of design is realism.
Yes, the deep black Elvira might well be a semi-realistic, no-frills affair, but if you’re a fan of stubby and chubby dildos, you’re gonna love it.
Even though it’s a solid silicone dildo it’s so incredibly soft to the touch. If you lightly stroke your fingertips down your inner forearm (go ahead, I’ll wait) you’ll get an idea of how this stuff feels. It has the kind of finish that helps it glide beautifully, even over dry skin. Adding the lightest touch of water-based lube is enough to make things go smoothly for me.
That might not mean much to other folks, but for me, it’s a godsend. See, though I do enjoy hands-free play, I’m a hand-held thruster at heart. I like my penetration deep and hard and fast so need to have plenty of length still outside of my body to hold onto. But with a length of just 5.5” all in, the Temptasia Elvira is a dinky little thing.
Temptasia Elvira Review, black dildo in a white woman's hand to give an idea of size
My vaginal canal is 6-7”, so I easily take the 5” insertable length, and that leaves me with the half inch suction cup as a handle. If I had to use a bucket of lube to make play comfortable, I wouldn’t be able to use this thing by hand. My fingers would just slip right off.
I can use it easily enough as a suction cup dildo or with a toy mount, but only in positions where I can squat over it. Because of its short length, there’s no mounting it to the wall and backing up on it for me. My arse is too big for that, the tip of the Temptasia Elvira barely reaches my vaginal opening from behind, never mind penetrating me. But being above it works well, though I have to say that the suction cup isn’t the strongest that Blush has to offer.
My favorite thing about the Elvira by far is the girth. Around the ridge of the softly defined glans style tip, it’s a juicy 6”. At the mid-point of the shaft it’s 5.5”, and near the base, it’s 5”. The silicone is completely smooth with nary a bump or wave in sight. If a toy is gonna be completely devoid of texture from tip to base I need it to be chunky and the Elvira certainly ticks that box.
