If you, like me, were craving a cross between anal beads and a dildo, this is exactly what you're looking for. I don't really thrust it, preferring to rock the final bump against my g-spot. The tiny nubby tip makes the initial insertion really easy and by the end it's a nice stretch.

This toy has an increasing girth that makes it fantastic for warming up in preparation for using girthier toys and the color mix is rather gorgeous, but it did not deliver what I at least most want from a dual density toy, the softer outer layer is rather thick so that you don’t particularly feel the firmer inner core in use. I do think though that if you particularly enjoy softer toys, and want some thing that doesn’t flop over and use, this would be a very good option for that.

While I am not sure Octavia's shore hardness, the outer layer of the toy is very pillowy and soft. The inner core feels like the same diameter throughout the entire length of the toy, it offers some rigidity while thrusting, but it's fairly deep beneath the soft outer layer making me wonder if the toy design really benefits from a dual-density (when it could be single density and achieve much of the same feeling). The actual insertable length is closer to 6.25" instead of the mentioned 7". It's a versatile toy for anal play with a gentle space between the bulbs that facilitates thrusting. It can also stand straight for sitting. Despite the shorter length, I'm happy with the craftsmanship, stubble sparkle coloration, and the toy's ability to be used both for thrusting and stretching/graduated play.
