I had some mixed feelings before making my purchase, mostly because of the reviews. There were talks to scents, and the flimsiness etc. but It was essentially exactly what I was looking for that plus the fact I got to use an additional discount code, the final price and so on, I just couldn't pass it up! I was impatiently waiting to receive it, basically stalking my mailman haha! I finally got it, and at first sight I definitely thought it was bigger than I expected. I definitely got the smell of some sort of plastic/rubber. After much use and washing, cleaning etc. the smell is still there! As far as the size and flimsiness, it's definitely stiff enough but the flimsiness is kind of a pain to keep in place sometimes. The suction isn't the best, maybe it's just on the one that I received I'm not sure but the suction part doesn't stick very well. I still love it, and it's currently my most used toy! But I think the biggest downfall of this great toy, is that the rubber smell is so strong. Overall still gave it 5 stars because it really is great otherwise.
