Sabrina, 29 – Wanting to find libido again (thanks antidepressants!) and in a happy marriage
“It’s what you’d expect a good quality dildo to look and feel like, just a big old cock.”
Did you know that between 70-90% of women can’t orgasm from penetration alone? With this fact in mind, I’m going to be completely honest and confess I haven’t even bothered to use this toy— as I’d prefer to gift it new and unused to a girlfriend (who just loves a good dicking) to enjoy instead. While I appreciate this might come off as a little ungrateful (I’m not I swear!!), I simply don’t understand why you’d reach for a regular old rubber dick instead of the many wonderful vibrating, sucking, wriggling toys our panel have kindly been gifted by Capsule and the Adult Toy Megastore.
I also knew my husband would have absolutely no interest in incorporating this one into our bedroom, and honestly I’m fine with that too. I’ve got plenty of other tools in my arsenal now that I’d happily recommend to anyone over this.
But to give this guy some credit, it feels weighty in the hand and it’s a generous size— it’s what you’d expect a good quality dildo to look and feel like, just a big old cock. If that’s your thing then go for it, but if your goal is to reach orgasm more effectively, I’d recommend literally any other clitoral or g-spot toy in its place if you’re only in the market for one.

“What makes this one different is the blue skies design so it’s like you’re masturbating with a cloud, and cloud nine is where this takes me.”
Now team, you can’t go wrong with a classic good old dildo! What makes this one different is the blue skies design so it’s like you’re masturbating with a cloud, and cloud nine is where this takes me. I enjoy paring up a dildo with other toys and enjoying the versatility I get with the movements of having a couple of devices down there doing their thing. This is easy to hold and maneuverer and the ever so slight curve helps you hit the right spots.
It does have a suction cup if you’re down to stick it to a wall or floor and experiment that way. I usually quite like this function for shower play, but this one with heavy water mixed in, does tend to slip around a bit on the wall.
The actual materials it is made from are soft and quite realistic with some bumps to make it a bit more textured, just like the real deal! Dildos are a really good investment to your self-love kit for lots of reasons too. They tend to be cheaper than other fancy devices that have multiple settings. So, you can pick one up for around $20 and your orgasm will be the same price as the more expensive devices. You can also choose the size you want to suit your personal preferences too which is always a bonus as everyone has different tastes.
You can also pair a dildo up with other toys to get a lot of range in your play. A dildo is also great to explore what you might like in real life and learn for yourself first by experimenting as it replicates more real-life body parts as opposed to a vibrator. I mean I haven’t met anyone that has a vibrating tongue that can also suck the life out of me like some of the other toys we’ve reviewed. If you have met this person, can I have their number? For research purposes of course…
I would absolutely 100% recommend you invest in a good old-fashioned dildo. You can’t go wrong and this dildo will have you screaming up to the heavens that it looks like it’s made from!
I give it 5 out of 5 moans.

“I don’t know who decided to take the splendour of a peaceful cloudy morning sky and turn it into a 6.3-inch masterpiece, but my husband and I owe them a debt of gratitude for the endless fun we had with this toy.“
When I opened this dildo out of the box, my immediate reaction was that I wasn’t sure about the bright unrealistic colours. I’m not sure exactly what I had expected from a dildo, but bright blue wasn’t my first thought… but once I overlooked that fact, it clearly does it’s job! I don’t know who decided to take the splendour of a peaceful cloudy morning sky and turn it into a 6.3-inch masterpiece, but my husband and I owe them a debt of gratitude for the endless fun we had with this toy. Every time I see those gorgeous shades of blue twirling together, I feel like I’m about to embark on a enchanted, intimate journey through the heavens.
The very respectable 6.3 inches is that perfect balance between manageable for the first timers and hitting that mighty good, sweet spot for the veterans among us. You will have both types of users riding cloud 9, if you catch my drift.
The suction cup also brings so much fun. Stick it to a wall, stick it to a mirror and if you’re feeling extra spicy, stick it to the fridge (don’t ask). The possibilities really are endless as to where this little bad boy can go. My husband loves to dabble in the world of voyeurism, so this really did fulfil that fantasy for him while keeping it between us, making it perfect for couples or solo use.
Overall I really enjoyed this toy, the size, the feel, or were 5 stars in my opinion and would recommend it to everyone and anyone to spice things up with your partner or for some solo fun!

“If you’re looking for a no nonsense, lovely-looking toy with a chilled out vibe, I think this is worth a try.”
First impression: this Nood colours cloudy sky dildo is… pretty. It’s this soft, dreamy blue, like looking at a calm sky. As my kids say, it’s a nice aesthetic. But does it deliver? I wasn’t expecting much to be honest, in fact I was a bit scared of it.
Size-wise, it was actually just right. It was comfy, but didn’t feel small either. The width was just enough, without being too much. Plus the silicone felt amazing. It was high quality, and smooth to the touch, but with some kinda hot veins running up it – which was a bit of a nice touch.
I think, despite initial fears, what won me over with this toy is it’s simplicity. It doesn’t vibrate, pulse or have a bunch of fancy modes – unlike the previous toys we’ve reviewed, it’s just there to do its thing – no fuss. If you’re someone who prefers to control their own pace, this toy totally works. And it’s so easy to clean! Honestly that’s not to be under-rated I think!
Using it felt like going back to basics in the best possible way. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I am an SP2 girl, through and through, and I enjoy the tech-gasms, but it was surprisingly enjoyable keeping things simple with this dildo. If you’re looking for a no nonsense, lovely-looking toy with a chilled out vibe, I think this is worth a try. It’s got a calming feel to it that I didn’t know I needed or wanted in the bedroom! Also makes for a fun birthday present – bought one for my bestie and she liked it too!
Sports Bra, 35 – Flying the flag for team lesbian, and would welcome some new additions to the bedside table
“Being lesbians, the head and veins detailing offered a realism that wasn’t to our tastes.“
One of the joys of being a lesbian is the luxury you have in the range of rides you can take with your partner. One lover can deliver a range of experiences. The Nood Colours Dildo offers up a solid one.
At 6.3 inches, it’s on the bigger end of toys we would normally play with. But it’s soft silicone offered just the right amount of give to make it a pleasure to take. Its flared base looks like it might be the type to stick to the wall of a shower if you are so inclined. This base does also fit, with a little manoeuvring into an o-ring harness for hand free play.
Being lesbians, the head and veins detailing offered a realism that wasn’t to our tastes. If you’re a fan of the real thing though, this might be a more welcome callback. Had these textures been paired with a skin colour palette, it would have been a turn off. So the cloudy sky was a welcome departure.
Ultimately though, it’s a dildo so it just needs to be good at one thing. This Nood Colours is and will gets the job done. Worth adding to the toolkit, faux veins and all.
