XtoysLoving Joy 12 Inch Double Dildo Purple Review: Length and Flexibility
Editor's opinion
This is a long, flexible double-ended dildo in soft TPE, aimed at people who want reach and two working ends for shared or solo use. Its mid-range girth is approachable, but at 30cm it is a substantial toy, and the porous TPE material means diligent cleaning and water-based lubricant only.
Double-enders promise flexibility: one toy, two usable tips, and the option to share between partners or curve it back for solo play. The Loving Joy 12 Inch Double Dildo leans into that idea with a full 30cm of soft, bendable TPE and a realistic moulded shape at each end.
The question for a buyer is whether all that length actually suits how you want to use it, and whether you are comfortable with the upkeep that TPE demands. Both are worth weighing before you commit.
The good and the bad
What works
- Two usable tips for shared play or curving back on yourself solo
- Soft, flexible TPE that bends to find a workable angle
- Mid-range girth at 10.5cm that is fuller without being extreme
- No batteries or charging needed, so nothing to run out
What to be aware of
- TPE is porous, so it cannot be fully sterilised and needs careful cleaning
- Water-based lubricant only, as oil and silicone can degrade the material
- At 30cm this is a lot of toy and not a comfortable first purchase
- No flared base, so it is not suited to anal play
Buy it if
People who specifically want length and a flexible double-ended shape, whether for coordinated play between two partners or for extra reach and adjustability on their own.
Skip it if
Newcomers or anyone after a modest, easy first toy, and those who prefer a fully sterilisable body should look to a silicone dildo instead. It is also not suitable for anal use given the lack of a flared base.
Design and materials
The appeal here is the double-ended layout: a realistic moulded head at each tip of a single 30cm shaft, so both ends do a job. The soft TPE flexes with movement, which is what lets you bend it into a shared position between partners or fold it back for solo use.
TPE is the key thing to understand. It is soft and lifelike, and it keeps the price down, but it is porous. That means it can harbour bacteria in a way non-porous silicone does not, so it can never be truly sterilised and should be treated as a personal item rather than freely shared without protection.
Size and who it suits
At 30cm tip to tip with a 10.5cm circumference and 3.5cm diameter, this sits in the fuller mid-range for girth while offering plenty of length. The girth is approachable enough for many, but the sheer length is what defines it.
Most of that 30cm is there to serve the double-ended purpose, so in practice you are unlikely to use every inch at once. If you are new to insertable toys, this length is more than you need and a shorter single-ended dildo would be a gentler starting point.
How it is meant to be used
The two working tips mean it can be shared simultaneously between two people, or curved back on itself for depth and manoeuvrability when used solo. The flexible body helps you guide it into an angle that works rather than fighting a rigid shaft.
Use a water-based lubricant with it, not silicone or oil-based, since those can damage TPE over time. Note too that it has no flared base, which makes it unsuitable for anal play where a retrieval base is essential.
Care and cleaning
Because TPE is porous, cleaning matters more than with silicone. Wash it before and after every use with warm water and a mild soap or a proper toy cleaner, then dry it thoroughly before it goes away.
Store it separately from other toys and away from direct heat. Given the material cannot be boiled or fully sterilised, using it with a condom is a sensible option if you are sharing it between partners.
How it compares
Against a silicone double-ender, this trades body-safe, sterilisable material for a softer, more lifelike feel and a lower cost. If longevity and hygiene are your priorities, silicone is the better long-term buy, but it will typically cost more.
Within the TPE double-ender category, the draw here is length and a realistic shape rather than any powered feature. If you would rather have a shorter, more manageable toy, or want vibration, this specific model will feel like a lot of commitment to reach and flexibility you may not need.
The bottom line
The Loving Joy 12 Inch Double Dildo delivers exactly what its category promises: length, flexibility, and two usable ends in a soft, affordable TPE body. Recommended for those who genuinely want that reach and are happy to keep up with attentive cleaning and water-based lubricant, but newcomers and anyone wanting a sterilisable material should look elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use any lubricant with this dildo?
Use a water-based lubricant only. Silicone and oil-based lubricants can degrade TPE over time, so stick with water-based to keep the material in good condition.
Is TPE safe and how do I keep it clean?
TPE is body-safe but porous, meaning it cannot be fully sterilised. Wash it before and after each use with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner, dry it thoroughly, and store it separately. Using a condom is wise when sharing between partners.
Is this suitable for a beginner?
At 30cm it is a large toy, so it is not the easiest first purchase. The 10.5cm girth is mid-range and approachable, but a newcomer would likely find a shorter single-ended dildo more manageable to start with.
Can it be used for anal play?
No. It has no flared base, which is essential for safe anal use. It is designed for shared or solo play where a retrieval base is not required.
Does it need batteries or charging?
No. This is a manual, non-powered dildo, so there is nothing to charge or replace. It relies entirely on its flexible shape and your movement.
