When it comes to fantasy toy makers with a wide variety of options, Uberrime has many of their competitors beat. Lots of toy designs, all with customizable options. Please, they’re a queer run company, which you know I love. So when they sent me The Umbra Dildo to review, I was enthralled.
Everything about the dildo is a pleasure. Hell, it’s so good that I managed to use it for almost an entire hour in one of my recent masturbation videos. What makes it so good? Allow me to tell you!
The Details
Coming in at 7″ in total length, The Umbra Dildo is a fantasy dildo designed for those who aren’t into large insertions. The insertable length is 6″ with a head diameter of 1.35″ and a max diameter of 1.59″ midway on the shaft. The colorful pour that I got makes some of the details hard to see, but there are slight horizontal ridges that run on the underside of the shaft, as well as bumps on either side of those ridges. The top of the shaft also features some vein texture, but fairly minimal. The head features a unique design with 4 ridges closet to the shaft.
Made with body-safe silicone, The Umbra Dildo is customizable! Choose between 3 different firmness levels: Soft & Squishy 0030, Soft Short 5a 0050, or Medium Soft Shore 8a. You can also select up to 3 colors for yours and decide whether or not to add a bullet vibrator port.
The dildo designer, Kat, is quoted on the product listing as saying it is a demon cock. I think this is a fantastic description. It’s not full blown monster, as it does have some humanistic realism.
Pros:
- Customizable color & firmness
- Body-safe silicone
- Queer owned small business based in the US
- Good introduction to fantasy dildos
- Anal safe & harness compatible
Cons:
- Only available in one size
- Silicone does have drag
Care Instructions for The Umbra Dildo
As a non-motorized dildo, cleaning the Umbra Dildo is incredibly easy and you have multiple options! You can wash with warm, soapy water. You can soak it in a 10% bleach/water bath. You can run it through a dishwasher. You can boil it for 10 minutes.
When it comes to lube options, however, you do have fewer options. The soft silicone can be damaged by silicone based lubricants, so it’s best to reach for a water-based or natural oil lube, such as coconut oil.
My Experiences with The Umbra Dildo
Ok, first of all, I swooned at the pour that Uberrime sent me. It’s beautiful!! I love the ribbons of color before I really took time to thoroughly examine the dildo. That’s when I noticed the texture. As someone who has varying levels of desire for texture, The Umbra Dildo instantly looked like it would make an excellent option when I wanted some unique texture but not toooooo much.
Aesthetic first impressions aside, I like the design of the dildo. It’s a nice size for someone like me who doesn’t like large insertions. It’s also a somewhat beginner friendly fantasy dildo option for those who are used to some texture but would like something more advanced without going too extreme. I’m also a big fan of dildos that are girthiest in the middle of the shaft.
As I mentioned earlier, I did use this dildo for almost an entire hour for a solo masturbation video I filmed. The dildo was comfortable in shape and design to use for so long, though I did have to repeatedly add lube.
Using it outside of work was honestly even better though! I loved the way it felt as I slid it in and out of myself, especially when paired with a bullet vibrator on my clit. Thanks to the compact size of the base, my wife was able to use it on me while she was going down on me. I think my brain melted straight out of my ears at that point, it was so good. I loved the definition of the head and the coronal ridge.
Even with the bumps & ridges, I didn’t find the design overstimulating. Sometimes that happens with firmer toys or toys with more defined texture. The Umbra Dildo was just right for me and my texture preferences.
While I did not get the chance to use it in a strap-on harness with a partner before writing this review, I did strap it on just to see how it felt. While it is mostly harness compatible, I do think that I’m at an advantage. The top of the base doesn’t have enough of a protruding design to make it work in a harness for some users without slipping. For me, however, I’ve got a big belly that actually helps keep toys in place a bit better.
I also didn’t try this dildo anally, because that’s just not my thing. However, the design of the toy does allow for safe anal usage.
Final Thoughts on The Umbra Dildo
I really like the Umbra Dildo. I think it’s a great design and I love the texture. I do wish it came in more sizes for people who like larger or smaller insertions. Since this is a newer release from Uberrime, it is possible that more sizes will be offered later down the line, as some of their more popular sellers do have multiple sizes available. My fingers are crossed, because this is a really well designed toy!
With a base price of $69, I think this is a good price! The price does increase by $5 if you add a bullet vibrator port and by $12 if you opt for a 2nd color option. A 3rd color option is also an additional $12. It does add up quickly, but ya know what? Supporting small businesses run by queer people in the US feels good. Though this particular model was gifted to me, I have spent my money with Uberrime in the past, and will do so again.
So? Final words? This is a good dildo. It’s a good option for people who are ready to take the next step into the world of fantasy dildos without committing to more intense texture. I’d recommend it!
