Davy’s Tendrils is a tentacle dildo likely named after Davy Jones, the cephalophod-faced captain of the damned from the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie. He was (is) one of the most phenomenal CGI creations in cinematic history.

Like many of Mr Hankey’s designs (including my beloved Venomous Tongue), Davy’s Tendrils comes multiple sizes. Mr Hankey’s is infamous for its extra large toys, but my Davy’s Tendrils is a petite Extra Small.

There aren’t many monster dildos that are “beginner friendly,” which I define as being slim and texturally mild. (Most folks need practice/experience to take girth or a lot of texture.) The Davy’s Tendrils Silicone Dildo XS is absolutely beginner friendly. It’s a small step up from fingering.

But regardless of size, what does this dildo have to offer?

tendrils design and features

The Davy’s Tendrils Dildo is one solid piece of squishy silicone, but it’s shaped into four entwined tentacles. Most tentacle erotica involves multiple tentacles (the appeal is usually being overwhelmed), so I love this stylistic choice.

When I say “squishy silicone,” I mean it. I can practically tie this toy in a knot. The tentacles end in a pointed tip, but the material (which is body-safe!) so gummy soft that it’s not pokey. If I’m not careful, Davy’s Tendrils fold over when being thrusted.

With its long length and gradually thickening width, the Davy’s Tendrils Dildo is shaped for anal. In larger sizes, specifically deep anal play.

If you’re interested in Davy’s Tendrils for vaginal use, its unique proportions are something to keep in mind. The depth of a vagina varies (and changes when aroused), but most are no more than 6 or 7 inches deep. So even the S/M Davy’s Tendrils (which is 9 inches insertable) might have excess length in use.

Davy’s Tendrils is also a relatively skinny toy. The tip is narrow but long. Unless you’re an experienced girth and depth enthusiast, you may not get to enjoy the maximum width towards the base. So keep that in mind when choosing a size.

Although the Davy’s Tendrils Dildo is designed to be 4 tentacles, only 2 reach the tip. Their bellies are lined with rows of spaghetti-o suckers, and their backs are subtly textured with flesh lines. I love the way these handsome tentacles wind around each other, providing interesting bulges down the toy’s shaft.

This dildo’s base has very little flare. If you’re concerned about safe anal use (if you’re using the XS), you should pop on a Vac-U-Lock Suction Cup. The listing states the XS doesn’t have a hole in the base, but mine does! The removable suction cup will also make this toy more harness-friendly.

My Davy’s Tendrils is a very pale purple. It’s starkly different from the dark shade in the stock photos. I don’t mind the lighter color, but if you’re keen on such details – have a good look at my review photos!

Last point before I get into my experiences: even if you don’t douche for anal, this dildo is easier to clean than my Uberrime Teuthida. That being said, it goes deeper than a butt plug, so be prepared if you’re mess-averse. You’ll have to press down on the (mostly flat) suckers to get them clean of any, ahem, debris.

our experience with davy’s tendrils

My partner Buster steps in as “stunt cunt” for dildo reviews. Usually they prefer their toys much bigger (a M/L would have been ideal) but it’s fun to review things outside of our wheelhouse too.

We knew the XS was going to be slim, but honestly it’s even skinnier than we expected! Stock photos mostly feature its wider-looking side; like the Venomous Tongue, Davy’s Tendrils are actually somewhat flat. That, combined with its ultra-squishy density, and slick (when wet) finish, make this dildo an easy ride. Maybe even too easy?

When used vaginally, the Davy’s Tendrils Dildo XS is very mild. I wouldn’t outrightly call it boring (it has more going on than, say, the Temptasia Twist set) but it’s definitely not as texturally exciting as other tentacles. The suckers aren’t discernible, and – at least for Buster – the only shape noticeable in use is the varied width of the winding tentacles.

In larger sizes, the Davy’s Tendrils Dildo will have girthier knots/bulges. The shapes will be a more prominent part of play. Still, if it’s spiral and texture you’re after (rather than tentacles specifically), there may be more exciting options out there.

The Davy’s Tendrils experience is unsurprisingly much better anally. The sphincter is narrow and nerve-rich, so you get a better sense of the twining tentacles and even the tiny suckers. The skinny tip genuinely feels like it’s slithering in, spreading you open with the tentacles’ gradually thickening width. “That neat bumpy feeling when it’s being twisted is more obvious,” Buster says in their notes.

Twisting thrusts are a must with these modest little tendrils. Like any dildo, you can leave Davy’s Tendrils still and just passively clench/milk the silicone. But to get the most of what Davy’s got to offer, it needs to move.

And when you move it? The Davy’s Tendrils Dildo is deliciously noisy. If you sufficiently lube it up, the tendrils slurp and squelch as you thrust. Tentacle porn enthusiasts everywhere can rejoice at the built-in sound effects. The XS isn’t as filthy sounding as my Venomous Tongue or Uberrime Bound, but it might be nosier in larger sizes.

“I just wish it was a little firmer,” Buster says. “It’s comfortable like this, but not exciting. So I guess it depends on what you’re looking for.” The lack of firmness also made Davy’s Tendrils a disappointment externally. Buster likes to rub off against textured monster dildos, and Davy’s length makes it an ideal candidate because it can be partially inserted too. Frustratingly, “It does nothing for me.”

final thoughts on davy’s tendrils

These XS tentacles have none of Davy Jones’s tenacity or menace. They’re soft and gentle – the Stede Bonnett of tentacle dildos. If you were looking at Davy’s Tendrils because you wanted to be overwhelmed by tentacles, I’m afraid that’s probably only possible with its larger sizes, and only through sheer girth.

However, if you’re monster-curious and looking for a gentle introduction to the world of slick, slithering fuckables… there’s likely no toy better suited for beginners than the XS. It starts off with the width of a single finger and maxes out at a little over three fingers. If any of your holes are new to penetration, this slim softie’s great.

When it comes to larger sizes, I think the Mr Hankeys Davy’s Tendrils Dildo is probably visually imposing, but ultimately only offers some smooth bumps to keep the fuck from being bland. Which is fine, especially since girth and depth are center stage.

If you’d like these gentle tentacles to plumb your depths, you can find them on Peepshow Toys for $65 to $155 USD depending on size. Don’t forget to use code BETTY at checkout for 10% off your whole booty order.
