Review: Ophoria Pleasure No. 6

It looks like a trend is forming… of me getting toys that look gorgeous, but functionally just don’t fit my wants.

I’ve known about Ophoria for a while. I’ve wanted to try their products because they just look so pretty. The Ophoria Pleasure No. 6, which Fascinations sent me to review, definitely doesn’t disappoint on that front. I like the soft shade of pink it comes in, and the swirls along the shaft. It almost looks like… a flower. The only thing that bothered me about its appearance was the seam, which isn’t terribly conspicuous, but takes away a little from the overall elegant look.

The silicone it’s made out of is plush, firm, and lovely to touch. It would be a great addition to my strap-on collection, and would make a nice, standard dildo to warm up to bigger, bumpier or curvier dildos. It even has a suction-cup base, and would be great to use anally since it’s on the smaller and firmer side.

Unfortunately? I didn’t enjoy using it because of one tiny detail: the bump just underneath the dildo’s head. It’s as irritating as hell. It doesn’t feel sharp or painful, just… like a small, bumpy thing poking my vaginal walls. As I put the dildo inside me, my brow furrowed in mildly discomfited befuddlement. It was enough to distract me from the feeling of the dildo as a whole.

So, honestly, that’s all I have to say about that. I don’t really know why the bump is there, outside of being an overall design staple in this and some of their other products, like the Beyond No. 3. Maybe the bump feels pleasurable to some people?

Anyway, it’s a shame, because in all other respects, the dildo is not earth-shattering, but definitely decent. I ended up giving it to one of my friends who was curious about experimenting with strap-on play, and she was quite happy to receive it.

To sterilize the Pleasure No. 6, you can wash it with 10% bleach solution, put it in the top shelf of the dishwasher with no soap, or boil it for at least 5 minutes. Also, silicone toys are not compatible with silicone lubes.
