Doc Johnson Vac-U-Lock Lucid Dream No 14 G-Spot Strap-On Harness Kit

Variety is the spice of life!

This toy is a 'harness and dong' that is part of the Vac-U-Lock system, which I find rather impressive. Before actually using the toy I perused over the instruction of this product and took a look at the box.

The box has a psychedelic 60s feel to it with random swirly bits and coming in a purple and pink box. The packaging was nothing special but it did avoid any tacky looking parts like plastic blonde pornstars.

The instructions contain all the information required but are a slight assault on the senses, part advert and part instruction. I was greeted by the image of 10 big cocks with varying degrees of fake pubidge, a rather JCB-inspired black and yellow outlay before I realised any important information to be found is on the other side (except tiny print warning not to use petroleum products with these items).

Huge font provides me with care instructions and usage along with more adverts. After one read it's pretty safe to say they can probably be thrown away. The harness can be washed with mild washing-up liquid and rinsed in warm water; I assume the dong can be washed as any other jelly type toy.

Yet more preliminary testing required before use! The dong comes 'shrink wrapped', which unfortunately makes it whiff a little when it's removed. It doesn't smell too strong but even now, after over a month, the toy does still smell slightly and probably always will. The harness is a leatherette-type material but has only the vaguest smell when sniffed close. Being the great concept the Vac-U-Lock system is for those that want that sexy leather smell, a harness can be purchased separately!

After extensive sniffing I decided to give it a tug! Well... a little quality test. I was really impressed with the harness, it feels very light so I thought that possibly it might be a little on the weak side but this is not the case. It features strong nylon straps with fabric trimming to add strength to the leatherette material that would probably be weak otherwise. Inside the harness it is also slightly 'felty', nice for those sensitive little pussies!

The dong itself is very sturdily attached to its ABS base and shows little sign of breaking. The dong is quite floppy. This may be good or bad depending on the user - I found that with my girlfriend being very small down ther,e it made getting it straight very hard. It does, however, make it useful during use as it flexes and makes things much more comfortable.

I would put the floppiness down purely to the stem, which does appear to be a little too thin, given the thickness in other places. There appears to be a slight ridge from manufacturing with some air bubbling at the tip from joining to pieces together; this doesn't appear to damage the structural abiilty of the toy in any way as it is so flexible. The box states the toy is made from PVC and ABS plastics that are phthalates-free.

Both components look neat with the harness being plain black and the dong a soft jelly purple.

In use! Unsurprisingly it is best used with two or more! The Vac-U-Lock base, however, might make a nice grip for solo use. Being male there were some features I could not make best use of but being a tester I soldiered on!

The harness contains a gap to leave access free to your partner's vulva and vagina, a nice touch, but there is no gap for those of the anal persuasion. I found that as a male it was still useful to let my balls dangle free during use and it did not feel uncomfortable. Having an erect penis made things uncomfortable as it had nowhere to go! It might be good if some in the Vac-U-Lock range were hollow to allow certain tease play, I'm not sure if that already exists or not.

Although it was slightly uncomfortable the foam padding on the back of the dong meant nothing was painful or too bad.

Getting the toy on is very easy, it just slides up like underwear and it is adjustable to a sizable 44 inches according to the crazy leaflet, through simple straps, which seem to hold well. Likewise the dongs just click on with four poppers and are removed easily. Attaching the dong from the inside means it won't fall off accidentally which is good! Although this toy is not too big my partner did find it slightly uncomfortable when reaching the base, which is quite thick so it might be best to check the dimensions of the product before buying if you are at all concerned.

All in all I think these systems are great products. The ability to mix and match with such variety including vibes make this suitable for almost anyone! However, the particular one I had is not really designed for males (to penetrate), it is workable but I'm sure there are Vac-U-Lock alternatives available. A good system!
