Riodong 8.25 Inch Dildo Review
By Pleasure Panel reviewer eliza93marie
Riodong 8.25 Inch Dildo review: I have never really been known to like dildos. I have also never tried such a realistic looking dildo. Of course, I’m always up to try new things. To be honest, my expectations for this phallic dildo were rather low. Not because of the product quality, because I thought I knew nothing of the company, but rather because I general like textured toys to have lots of well pronounced ridges and bumps. When I saw the product was up for grabs, I was genuinely interested to find out what it would do for my body. Until the thing arrived.
The Riodong 8.25 Inch Dildo arrived discreetly packaged. Once inside the package I found the box to be aesthetically pleasing. Nothing crazy special, but nice and quiet. Inside I found the thick dildo wrapped in cellophane, what I wasn’t expecting was the storage bag that it came with. The bag threw me off a bit, because the box itself said Riodong, but the storage bag that came with it is the same as the toy I have from Tracy’s Dog. I had to find out more so I turned to my blogger Co-op group.
Specs:
This Riodong 8.25 Inch Dildo is definitely on the larger end of what I own. It stands at 8.25 inches, and has a base width of 2.6 inches. The Thick Riodong has an insertable length of just at 6 inches and a tapered head of 1.6 inches. The bottom 2.25 inches is made up of the realistic testicles. However the length, girth, and taper do not make up for the fact that the dildo is made of PVC, which is porous and oily.
Experience:
This toy doesn’t have much going for it, aside from its size. I used the Riodong 8.25 Inch Dildo with a condom, but it isn’t safe to use. Not ever, not even with a condom. The material it is made from alone makes this toy toxic. PVC is oily, which breaks down condoms. No matter how ‘clean’ you get the Riodong, it always looks wet. PVC is also porous making it extremely unsanitary, you can’t sanitize it or ever truly get it clean. A company using PVC is a total deal breaker or me and many other bloggers and I’ll tell you why; Silicone is a body safe material and it is also affordable, it is not porous and can be totally sanitized.
So let’s talk company… I had questions so I turned to one place I knew I could get my answers without feeling like a loon. From what we can all collectively tell, is Tracy’s Dog rebranded. That company is utter trash, they have been caught up in lie after lie in the blogging community. I feel that there has been a ton of negative publicity. Whether they rebranded because of the negativity they have received or not is unknown, but I assume not.
What is body safe, and what does it mean?
What it means for a toy to be body safe, is that the material the toy is made of is not porous, or toxic, and can be sanitized and cleaned well.
So what is safe? And, what is not?
Safe toys are made of few things… Silicone, Glass, Stainless steel, hard plastic, and wood.
Not safe materials include but are definitely not limited to PVC, Jellies, Silica Gel, rubber, cyber skins, and vinyl. These products are unsafe because they are porous, they may or may not contain phthalates, they can grow and keep mold, and bacteria in the pores. The government doesn’t regulate these types of things, any company can write any name on a box and lie through their teeth. Which is why we all need to help spread the word and educate ourselves and each other on safe products and materials.
I feel that I can solidly give this toy a 1/10 stars.
Thank you for letting me review the Riodong 8.25 Inch Dildo and giving me the opportunity to speak my mind on material safety and crap companies!

Thanks to Pleasure Panel reviewer eliza93marie for this review of the Riodong 8.25 Inch Dildo ($16.99 – approx £13.99 at today’s rates – from Amazon)
Editor’s Note: I agree that there are safety concerns surrounding products made by the Tracy’s Dog and Riodong manufacturer. I would not recommend them for purchase; there are plenty of other sex toys available which are non-porous, non-toxic and safe for intimate use. The safety concerns over the products from this manufacturer were not immediately evident, which is why products were accepted for the Pleasure Panel to review. However after much mystery & worrying feedback, I personally will not be using any of the Tracy’s Dog sex toys. In addition, all CaraSutra affiliations with this manufacturer have ceased as of January 2017.
This sex toy was sent free of charge by the manufacturer, in exchange for a fair and honest review by the Pleasure Panel.
