XtoysLoving Joy 8 Inch Dildo with Balls Black Review
Editor's opinion
This is a full-size, lifelike dildo with a practical suction cup base that doubles as a harness-compatible flared base. It suits buyers who want realistic styling and hands-free versatility, but the porous TPE material means diligent cleaning and water-based lubricant are non-negotiable.
The Loving Joy 8 Inch Dildo with Balls sets out to do one job well: offer a realistically shaped, generously proportioned dildo without any electronics to charge or batteries to chase. The sculpted shaft and balls give it a lifelike profile, and the suction cup base is the feature that opens up how you can actually use it.
The main things to weigh here are size and material. At 16.5 cm insertable with a 3.8 cm diameter, this is a full-size toy rather than a first purchase, and the TPE construction brings a soft, weighty feel at the cost of being porous, which affects cleaning and lubricant choice. Both are worth understanding before you buy.
The good and the bad
What works
- No batteries or charging, so it is always ready to use
- Suction cup base allows genuine hands-free play on smooth surfaces
- Flared base is compatible with most strap-on harnesses
- Realistic sculpted shaft and balls for a lifelike look
- Soft yet firm TPE gives a filling, natural weight
What to be aware of
- TPE is porous, so it cannot be fully sterilised and needs careful cleaning
- Only water-based lubricant is safe, as silicone lube degrades TPE
- At 16.5 cm insertable and 3.8 cm diameter, it is not a beginner size
Buy it if
Buyers who want a realistically styled, full-size dildo and value hands-free suction cup use or harness compatibility, and who are happy to stick to water-based lube and thorough cleaning.
Skip it if
Those new to insertable toys, or anyone who wants a material they can fully sterilise or use with silicone lubricant. If that matters to you, look at a body-safe silicone dildo with a flared base instead.
Design and Materials
The realistic styling here, with a sculpted shaft and balls, is aimed squarely at people who prefer a lifelike look over a plain or abstract design. The TPE material is chosen for exactly this reason: it carries a soft, weighty, skin-like feel that firmer plastics and even some silicones do not replicate.
The trade-off is that TPE is porous. Unlike medical silicone, it cannot be sterilised, which means it should be treated as a personal item rather than shared without a barrier. That is not a flaw so much as a characteristic of the material class, but it is the single most important thing to understand before buying.
How It Is Meant to Be Used
The suction cup base is the standout practical feature. Pressed onto a clean, smooth, non-porous surface such as tile, a mirror or a hard floor, it holds firm and frees up both hands, opening up positions that a handheld toy simply cannot manage. It will not stick to textured grout, painted walls or fabric, so a genuinely flat surface matters.
The same flared base makes it compatible with most strap-on harnesses, so the toy carries over from solo use to partnered play without any extra accessories. At 3.8 cm in diameter and 16.5 cm insertable, this is a filling, full-size shape, so easing in with plenty of lubricant is sensible rather than optional.
Care and Cleaning
Because TPE is porous, cleaning is more of a commitment than with silicone. Wash thoroughly with warm water and a dedicated toy cleaner before and after every use, then allow it to dry completely before storing, as trapped moisture is the enemy of a porous material.
Lubricant choice is not flexible: use water-based only. Silicone-based lubricants will gradually degrade the TPE surface, and oil-based products are unsuitable too. Store it away from other rubber and TPE toys, which can react with one another over time.
How It Compares
Within its category, this competes with both plain and realistic dildos across TPE and silicone. Its advantages are the lifelike sculpting, the generous size and the dual-purpose suction and harness base, all with no power source to worry about.
The honest comparison point is material. A body-safe silicone dildo of similar size can be sterilised and used with a wider range of care routines, but usually costs more and can feel firmer. If realistic feel and versatility are your priorities and you are comfortable with the cleaning discipline TPE demands, this design covers the essentials well.
The bottom line
The Loving Joy 8 Inch Dildo with Balls is a sensible, versatile choice for anyone wanting a realistically styled, full-size dildo with hands-free and harness options and no electronics to manage. Just go in knowing the size suits experienced users and the porous TPE demands water-based lube and careful cleaning. Accept those terms and it delivers exactly what it promises.
Frequently asked questions
Is this dildo suitable for beginners?
With a 16.5 cm insertable length and a 3.8 cm diameter, this is a full-size toy rather than a starter option. Those new to insertable toys would generally be more comfortable starting smaller and working up, using plenty of lubricant.
What lubricant should I use with it?
Water-based lubricant only. The TPE material can be degraded by silicone-based lubricants over time, and oil-based products are also unsuitable. A good water-based lube is the safe match.
Will the suction cup stick to any surface?
It needs a clean, smooth, non-porous surface such as tile, a mirror or a hard floor to hold firmly. It will not grip textured tile grout, painted or papered walls, or fabric-covered surfaces.
Can it be used with a strap-on harness?
Yes. The flared base that forms the suction cup is compatible with most strap-on harnesses, so the toy works for both solo and partnered play without additional accessories.
How do I clean and store it?
Wash thoroughly with warm water and a dedicated toy cleaner before and after each use, then let it dry completely before storage. Because TPE is porous it cannot be sterilised, so treat it as a personal item and store it away from other rubber or TPE toys.
