Stardust Shuttle Beaded Alien Dildo

Stardust Shuttle is a beaded alien dildo cast in platinum-cured silicone: a long thin tower that starts at a twisted tip and grows one bead at a time. The tip on the S is 4.5 cm (1.8 in) around, thinner than your little finger; the widest point is 16.3 cm (6.4 in). Between them sit four or five beads, each bigger than the last, each with a narrow neck behind it. You take one, it pops, your body closes on the neck. Then the next.

No single animal is behind it. The spiral at the tip comes from the twist of a snake's body; the run of beads comes from a canine knot, repeated. We joined the two and pulled the shape long, so on the L and XL the last beads land deeper than most toys reach.

A tower-shaped fantasy dildo: a thin spiral tip, then four or five beads that get bigger as they go, each behind a narrow neck, down to a suction-cup base. Each bead is its own event. You take it, it pops through, and the neck lets you close again before the next one starts to stretch you wider than the last. On the L and XL the later beads land deep, and you will feel the bulge outside. If you already take something long and want the stretch to arrive in steps instead of one slope, this is it. Four sizes, from 30.5 cm (12.0 in) total length and 16.3 cm (6.4 in) around at the widest point to 49.6 cm (19.5 in) and 26.6 cm (10.5 in).

Thin, and twisted along its length like a wrung-out cloth. On the S it is 4.5 cm (1.8 in) around, on the XL 7.2 cm (2.8 in), which is still less than most toys start at. It goes in with almost no resistance. That is the point of it: the tip finds the way, and the beads behind it do the work. The first few centimeters ask nothing of you.

Four or five, depending on the size, each wider than the one before it. Each has a narrow neck behind it, so your body does the same thing at each bead: open for the widest point, feel it pop through, close on the neck, hold. Slow, that is one clear step at a time, like knuckles going through a ring. Fast, the steps blur into a stutter you feel in your stomach. On a straight shaft the beads press the front wall on the way past, prostate side: pressure, then release. Pulling out runs it backwards. We think the pull-out is half the reason people buy this shape.

A suction cup, molded in one piece with the shaft, no seam and no insert to work loose. It is made to hold on a smooth flat surface, tile or glass, so you can ride it hands-free, and because the cup is wider than anything above it, it also does the job of a flared base. The S is 262 g (9.2 oz). The XL is 1136 g (2.5 lb), a little under a full bottle of wine, and you will feel that weight pulling on the cup.
