Feeldoes VS Share OBJECTIVE review

The goal of this post is to provide an OBJECTIVE and then a SUBJECTIVE review of both the Feeldoe by Erogenics and the Share by FunFactory, both are double dildos meant for one active or top partner to wear, and a passive or bottom partner to receive, in a fashion similar to a strap-on but without the hassle of a harness (so they advertise).

This in the hopes that if there are any other people out there who have just saved enough money for ONE product, they can make the best choice based on their personal preferences, differences and similarities to my opinions.

The Share (black) is on top, the Feeldoe (purple) at the bottom.

NOTE: there are some water-stains on both. They're not -anything else- stains. I dont own a dishwasher and I air dry my toys, because drying them with a towel gets lint on them.


So, why are they so weirdly shaped?
The BULB goes into the wearer's end. The bulb is meant to be inserted vaginally or anally on the wearer (active or "top" partner), holding the BASE between his or her legs, and thus obtaining a SHAFT protruding between his/her legs (or two, if they already own a biological one).

FIRST PART: MEASUREMENTS


Most websites deal in two measurements only: length and width (whether its circumference -what it measures around, or diameter - what it measures across). This works fine for straight shaped, regular dildos or vibes. However, when they're shaped with ridges, tapers, bumps, or anything else, these "single width measurements" dont work. Because you'll be asking yourself, ok, its 1.5" wide... but where? at the tip? at the base? at the bump? you get my point. This gets even trickier with dildos that have two sides (the wearer's end, and the "cock" end to be used on someone else). So i've done as many measurements as i can thing of (trying for them to be useful), and i've posted them ON of the images of the Feeldoe and Share.

The Feeldoe has a straighter shaft ("cock" end), slightly longer than the Share.


The Feeldoe has a shorter bulb (wearer's end), straight, and generally narrower than the Share, which has a longer bulb, significantly wider, and with a curve supposedly meant for G-spot stimulation, in adittion of a much steeper angle between the shared-part (bottom part not involved in penetration of either partner) and the bulb.


The Share's bulb is much "bigger" than the shaft... its much thicker and meant for giving the wearer a sensation of fullness.



The Feeldoe's shaft is pretty much uniform in size, with a head not too marked, and a bit thicker midshaft than below the head or at the base of the shaft, but not notoriously so. This can be also be seen in the following image.

As you can see, the Share's shaft has a very pronounced head, then becomes rather thin, and tapers off to a very wide base, while the Feeldoe doesnt become wider until even past the clitoral ridges meant for the wearer's stimulation.


The share's shaft base is much too wide for realistic penetration, so you might lose up to an inch of shaft due to its width (unless your receiver is a size queen).

In the above picture you can see how much bigger the bulb is on the Share, also how it stands up straighter in the Feeldoe. 

Here you can see how wide the base is on the Share in comparison to the Feeldoe. This might not be enough for some receives to handle as it is very wide, 2.1" in diameter (in contrast with a shaft averaging 1.4"). In contrast, the feeldoe's shaft is completely usable all the way to the base (the part where you see a cleft beginning).

This is another comparison of bulb sizes, and also of Base sizes. In the next part i'll give my personal (subjective) evaluation of these and comment on why they're good or not good IMO.

Feeldoes VS Share Intro

I recently found myself at a crossroads, spending 100 USD in purchasing a new double dildo for my collection. I'm a happy collector of sex toys, because they're kinky. I find them sexy.


Anyway, thing is, being a FTM trans, I've found myself in the desperate position of not having the right tool to use at the right moment. Fumbling for harnesses, needing to purchase only dildos or vibrators with bases big enough to hold them in place as strap-ons, finding these inadequate for the job, and worse of all, not enjoying the action physically, because the harness is chafing, the dil is digging into me, and an overall #FAIL with the situation.


This was pretty much solved about 6 years ago, when I was finally able to purchase a  I love the E2B website, but living in Mexico shipping was stratospheric. So when i made a trip to Chicago, I took the chance to go and buy. Got lots of things, but a memorable acquisition was the Feeldoe.


Liking variety, I wanted to add another double dil to my collection. The Nexus just seems wrong and doesnt even look comfortable to wear... So that wasnt an option. I was wondering whether to get a different Feeldoe model (Slim, Stout, More or Realdoe) or go with another brand. The only competitors that seemed worthy enough were the Share and Share XL, by FunFactory.


I looked everywhere for comparisons between performance by Feeldoe and Share, specially from users who had both. I found only one website, you can see it here. Its more of a forum than a website, but it has opinions.


After lots of research, i decided in favour of the Share. When I got it, i was so excited! Fun Factory toys are always so classy looking, gorgeous packaging, good, quality products. I am very sorry to say the Share disappointed me tremendously.


I am making a bigger post including a comparison of both products, in hope of helping anyone who needs an objective and subjective comparison of these two products.

Pilla vs. Taco

There used to be this squirrel at my campus... Quite a funny story all about her. She used to go up to people and ask for food. And i mean really close, she´d be less than two feet away from people. 


My GF Flor and I gave her food one or two times before she earned her name. After the day this story happened, she earned her name: "Pilla" (Rascal, in English).


I swear she´s real. I have tons of pics and some videos to prove it. The following story is real too.
I didnt draw Pilla because it seemed funnier to use a clipping of her pictures. This is her, about a week before the "Pilla vs taco" story occurred.

So,  Flor and I were sitting in the grass when the squirrel came along. Squirrels always seem cute to us, so we made cute noises seeing her. We were having lunch (i omitted stuff from the drawing and just kept the really important things).

 I've always been partial to sharing my food with animals, so it seemed right to share something with her. Since my tacos had CHICKEN in them, and a lot of hot spicy sauce, the option left was popcorn.

 Oddly enough, squirrel did not like the popcorn. Instead she came closer to us to inspect and demand something more suitable for her needs.

 And just as i was thinking she must smell the spicy sauce and would not want to eat that, she...

 She snatched the taco right off my plate and ran away with it!!!! I immediately burst out laughing, so did Flor, and so did 3 girls nearby who were witnesses to the robbery.


Then the squirrel stopped a couple yards away, you know, pit stop...

 And ran away hurriedly again with her captured taco now properly placed in her mouth.

And that's how she earned her name, Rascal. I mean, she stole a WHOLE taco!!! (Not the kind you get at taco bell, a real mexican "Taco dorado", fried taco.)


Since then, her name was Pilla. There were several encounters with her afterwards, though none as monumental as that name-earning encounter.


Here are some videos of a day she came and sat on my leg while eating.

Pilla - thief squirrel

Pilla - Thief squirrel 2

still no money

Or rather, still indebted. But the debt is from my employer to me!


My contract supposedly began on June or July 2010... Due to IRS registration issues, i couldnt sign my contract until December 2010.


IRS registration issues were:

This happened from August through November... The SHCP (mexican IRS) has a really stupid "by appointment only" system, which is stupid even in the "make an appointment" section. Every month they open a certain number of slots per office, and then, once full, you're f*cked (if you didnt get one, of course).


When i finally got an appointment and registered for the SHCP...

I happily went to my employer to turn in all the papers needed for my contract (including the damned IRS registration slip) and sign my contract.

...I shouldnt've been happy.

And so, I started going to the Payroll queue since January, hoping they'd pay me some payday.

February

Mind you, my contract STARTED on JULY 2010, and by february, my employer owed me:
July, Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec 2010, AND Jan, Feb 2011... (8 months' salaries)


So March comes around. And march payday comes around (today)...

Well, "apparently" there's a mistake with my first paycheck. So, since nobody in the area which hired me seems to have an exact idea of what happened, i need to go queue at some OTHER bureaucracy building to see WTF happened to my other EIGHT months' salary.


DAMNIT!

Inappropiate conversations (Rated R)

When you're out having a meal with a couple people you know, but you are NOT friends with (i.e. you're a "friend of a friend"), there are several conversation topics you should steer clear of.


Keep in mind you're merely and acquaintance, and NOT a friend to these people. PERSONAL topics are just that, personal, and people don't want you nosing into them.


Asking how long someone's been with their S/O is okay, even among GLBT folk.

Asking how someone met his/her S/O is also okay, even among GLBT folk.
 

What is NOT OKAY is:

Asking whether someone's S/O was already homosexual when he/she met that someone is definitely NOT OKAY. Not among GLBT folk, not among straight peers, its just something you dont ask acquaintances! NOT EVEN if you are a recently "outed" gay person. You want to know that kind of stuff, either ask your real friends or go to support groups!


When the person you're harassing with questions replies "my S/O doesn't identify as gay because I am transgender", blinking a few times and then saying "OH! I GET IT!"will just annoy the person further. You should take a hint and DROP the conversation there.




Any questions that are equally invasive or even MORE invasive to someone's privacy are TOTALLY WRONG to be asked. But you want to make things worse, so you ask:

WTF? Seriously, if you've talked to this person no more than 4 times before, asking whether they want to have sexual reassignment surgery is NOT going to make you friends with the person. It will clearly upset them, since it's really invasive to ask about someone's genitals, even if you were a friend to them!


From that point on, the person you're talking to will be clearly uncomfortable, will reply in short sentences using the minimum sounds possible, and will try to change the topic often. The other person sitting at the table will avoid looking at either you or other person, and will ask to himself how the conversation went so badly, so quickly. He'll also be uncomfortable, but you will certainly not take a hint.

Seriously, would you like people asking whether you've got early menopause and will be injecting female hormones? Or asking whether you use tampons or pads during your period? And how many of them? Or if you're a guy, would you want people asking similar private things? NO, right? So don't ask others such private things!


Trying to delve further into conversation bringing "i saw on TV" talk will only make everyone else at the table want to choke on the food they're eating. You will probably give lots of information straight people DO NOT want to hear. And, think of it, if you're talking to a trans person, do you really think you need to tell them about hormones and their effects? If they've already gone as far as to label themselves "trans" they've probably done much more research than "watched a show on tv" about it.

 TAKE A HINT. People with NERVOUS TICs are NOT ENJOYING your conversation. People who have stopped replying to your comments are NOT ENJOYING the conversation nor want anything to do with it! STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!


And most of all, STOP PROJECTING YOURSELF!!!

And yes, although this all seems surreal... It happened to me yesterday. *die*
