I don't generally post reviews of items I've purchased, but this has been so good that I felt compelled to let people know. This is literally my absolute favorite dildo currently, and I can hardly get any further down than half-way as of this post. I can only imagine how great it's going to be once I've fully acclimated and stretched to it's size.If you want to take this entire dildo, you have to be able to accommodate 10.5" in circumference. Even starting out the head is roughly 9", so you need to be an intermediate-to-advanced user. Don't waste your time ordering it or complaining about the size if you can't take the 9" start relatively comfortably. But if you can, you're in for a treat!The head is very blunt, so you'll want a decent warm-up. I personally use the A-Bomb, which has been my favorite plug for a little over a year now, and once fully-inserted I'll work it for a few minutes just to get things going. Once I'm past that I will slip over to the head of this and it usually only takes a couple minutes of varying pressure and movement to get things started and be past the head. Once I'm past the head I can pretty much care less how far down I am on it because the stimulation is superb!While the head is super-smooth and generally featureless, the veining is elaborate and very noticeable. Just getting to the texture immediately following the head you're instantly rewarded with waves of pleasure from the slight ribbing effect. From then on it only seems to get better, though I'm admittedly not able to take the full length quite yet. Even if I never got further down than where I'm currently at, this dildo will definitely be at the top of my go-to list, most especially when I am alone. Even just closing your legs and clenching your butt-cheeks around the remainder is incredibly arousing and pleasurable.What I like most about this dildo design is that you don't have an additional foot of useless dildo to try and manage. We have a King Dong (Great American Challenge) that my gf loves for it's girth, but not only is it difficult for either of us to manage solo-it's also featureless. Once you have it inserted you feel the stretch and pressure, but that's it. The Mr. Universe only requires a semi-flat surface and your body pressure, a decent lube, and you're rewarded with the silky Tantus feel and texture that you will want to tell everyone about! It also continues to build girth the entire way, which I wish more dildo's did.If you can take this size then this dildo needs to be in your arsenal. If you're near being able to take this size then it should be your goal. You won't regret it.Update: I've now become acclimated enough to use the entire length of this dildo and it is epic in every way. I don't really utilize a warm up with it anymore, just some time, movement, and pressure. It is everything I thought it could be and more! I had pretty much relegated myself to the thought that I just wasn't going to be ambitious enough to get all the way down the shaft. I was using it as a warm up for the Bam dildo when suddenly I just sucked it up...and consequently bottomed out against the nightstand. I was so surprised that I had to come off of it just to make sure!Essentially what I learned was that the head was the biggest feature, despite outward appearance, and I wasn't fully getting past it when I wrote the review above. Once you get past the head and onto the 'veins', they are large and thick enough to collapse enough to give some relief. Even though the difference is noticeable it is not drastic, and it will build up again by the time you're on the base. The base will give you a seriously good stretch though, if you want to sit still long enough to experience it. I can't even lie, the veining on this is so awesome that I just can't force myself to sit still long enough. This is one truly fantastic ride!
