Having already tried the original Fun Factory Share, I was interested in trying the new Fun Factory XS. Like the original Share, this strapon dildo is made of soft supple silicone. While the silicone has a little give to it, it’s quite firm, which is a good thing if you’re going to be thrusting. Now, before I get ahead of myself, it should be said that the main benefit of the Share XS is that it’s a “strapless” strapon dildo. Instead of using a dildo harness to attach the dildo to yourself, instead you slide the bulb end of the toy inside of your vagina, where it’s meant to press against the G-spot and “anchor” itself into your vagina while your pc muscles hold it in place. Nice theory, right? Unfortunately most strapless strapons can be a bit hard to place properly, as I had noticed with the original Share, but I was eager to try out the XS nonetheless. Unlike the Share, the Share XS has one end that is thin and made for penetration, but it not shaped like a penis, nor does it have a prominent head. The shaft of the toy is much thinner and a little shorter than the shaft of the original Share also. Which could definitely be a good thing, especially for newbies. The other end has a large bulb, to me the bulb on the XS is much bigger than the bulb on the original Share. This could be because a lot of feedback on the original Share made it clear that the Share seemed to have problems staying in place inside of the vagina while the wearer used it for thrusting into a partner. So I think Fun Factory wanted to make this end a little larger so that perhaps it wouldn’t “slip”. I found this bulb end to be pretty big, lots of girth, and curved to hit the G-spot. If you’re going to insert this end, be sure to use a lot of lubricant. Water-based lube, as this toy is made of silicone and shouldn’t ever be used with silicone lubes. Silicone on silicone just isn’t compatible. It took me a few tried to finally insert the bulb end into my vagina, once in there, I found that it made my pussy feel very full inside. I did like the feeling. Another problems users had while using the original Share was that once the toy was inside, the shaft seemed to droop down instead of remaining up and erect. I think this is another reason why Fun Factory chose to make the XS’s shaft very smell, so it would be less weight to weigh the strapon down. However, the only thing “extra small” about the XS is the shaft. The bean-shaped bulb made for holding into place is pretty “extra large”. So it may take a little practice to get it comfortably inside. Once the bulbed end is anchored into of the vagina, I did notice that the shaft didn’t droop as much as the original Share! The shaft of the XS seemed to stand up a lot better.
The end made for thrusting is quite small, as I stated above, so this would be ideal for beginners, and those interested in pegging for the first time. While the Share XS. I found that the XS did work better during thrusting than the original Share, but I didn’t think that the bean-shaped bulb seemed to hit my G-spot just right, so it took some maneuvering. The small end is good for penetration. I tried holding the small shaft end of the XS and used it to thrust the bulb end against my G-spot, this was much more stimulating than the stimulation that came from thrusting with it. I also tried holding onto the bulb end in my hand and using the small shaft to stimulate my ass. I thought the shaft felt awesome in my ass! I liked the feel of the silicone and though the shaft was small it still felt lovely and having the large bulb to grasp onto made it easy for hard thrusting. I should also mention that while the Share XS is strapless, you can use it with a strapon harness if you want. It actually will make sure that the dildo stays in place and you don’t have to worry about it slipping. Thought it can defeat the purpose of a “strapless” strapon on, if you don’t mind, it can be beneficial. I liked the pretty pink color of the dildo, and also, since it’s silicone, you can boil it to fully sterilize the toy, which is a plus, because I like being able to sterilize my dildos. I found that even though the bull end is large, and can be off-putting, this would be awesome for ladies who love it large, and I do like this dildo better than the original Share. I think Fun Factory is moving in the right direction when it comes to building a quality strap-less strapon. Interested in trying your own Fun Factory Share XS?
