[Description: Two dildos sitting on the edge of a white counter, with artistic wallpaper behind them. The first is a pale green semi-realistic dildo with a rounded head and chunky base. The second is a girthier version, done in blue-to-white.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>The Splendid (now called the Splendid Medium<\/a>) is arguably Uberrime\u2019s most popular toy, and for good reason: it\u2019s a dual density dildo (stiffer core, softer outside) with a wonderfully effective g-spot and\/or prostate targeting curve, dressed in inspiringly vibrant colors. And? It\u2019s $80<\/a> (or $70 for solid colors<\/a>), a pretty good deal for a hand-made, body safe silicone toy from an indie maker.<\/p>\n

Last year, I wrote a glowing review of the Splendid<\/a>. A few months later, Uberrime released two new, hand-sculpted versions of the Splendid: the Small<\/a>, and the Large<\/a>. Folks with average size preferences and<\/em> size royalty rejoiced, and Peepshow Toys<\/a> sent me the Small to review. (Thanks, Peeps!)<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s talk about the Small!<\/p>\n

about the uberrime splendid small<\/em><\/h4>\n

The Small currently comes in four pastel pearl colors: blue, rose, violet, and green. I of course opted for the green! Although these are single color toys, they\u2019re not flat; each color is swirled with glitter and gentle marbling for an artistic extra touch.<\/p>\n

[Description: The Splendid Small laying on its side, showing off its prominent head, corona, and wide, circular base.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>The Splendid Small<\/a>\u2019s 1.4-inch width (1.6 at the head) and 6-inch length don\u2019t seem that far off from the Medium\u2019s sizing on paper\u2026 but stand them side by side and the difference is substantial. The Medium is a more popular choice, but the Small sticks closer to the average girth of a human penis: 1.5 inches.<\/p>\n

Like its predecessor, the Small has a squishy, prominent head. Its curved shaft has some vein texture, but it\u2019s much<\/em> subtler and doesn\u2019t have any branching, which makes the Small a much sleeker fuck. Its base is chunky and wide, giving the Splendid Small a stable foundation for harness use. It doesn\u2019t have a suction cup, but it will<\/em> stick to flat surfaces because the base has a slight lip.<\/p>\n

smooth and squishy silicone<\/em><\/h4>\n

The Splendid Small<\/a>\u2019s rigid core is flexible, so it\u2019s pretty easy to bend the toy in half with your hand; however, it\u2019s still firm enough to keep the toy\u2019s shape intact in use, even with vigorous thrusting. That means the curve will actually stroke your g\/p-spot (when properly angled for your body) instead of tilting\/folding out of place.<\/p>\n

I immediately loved the Splendid Small\u2019s slimmer size because of how much squisher it seems. You can really feel the springyness of the silicone when you squeeze it! My biggest beef with the Splendid Medium<\/a> is that it lacks the plushness of the Vixskin Mustang<\/a> or the Neo Elite 7.5 Inch<\/a>, but the Small \u2013 despite likely being made of the same density silicone \u2013 feels deliciously squeezeable.<\/p>\n

Joyously, it\u2019s also not as tacky on the surface as some other soft-layered dual density toys (like the aforementioned Vixskin Mustang.)<\/p>\n

our experience with the uberrime splendid small<\/em><\/h4>\n

Earlier this month, I attended Sex Down South and spent some time selling toys at Uberrime\u2019s booth<\/a>. Every time I was asked about an average-sized toy for penetration (especially pegging), I directed folks towards the Splendid Small. Why? Because it\u2019s a really comfortable<\/em> dildo.<\/p>\n

In use, the Splendid Small<\/a>\u2019s curve feels less intense than its larger counterpart, the Medium. Buster \u2013 my partner, who tests a majority of the penetration toys featured on this blog \u2013 isn\u2019t too fussed about g-spot stimulation. The slightly straighter shaft means that they can comfortably thrust the Small however they want and it only plows their g-spot when they angle it intentionally<\/em>\u2026 Then the head is a nice, persistent massage with every thrust. Versatility!<\/p>\n

[Description: The Splendid Small standing upright, the room’s lighting beaming off its curved shaft.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>The head and divot beneath it create a pleasant \u2018pop\u2019 when dragged. This is the only extra stimulation that Buster noticed beyond the mild fullness of the average-width shaft, as the subtle compressed vein texturing on the toy\u2019s surface isn\u2019t really discernible in use. This \u2018pop\u2019 is especially pleasant during anal use, as the squishiness of the head buffers the toy\u2019s impact and lets it pet sleekly and plushly.<\/p>\n

Buster loves squishy, textured girth, so the Splendid Small isn\u2019t their<\/em> ideal dildo. But if you want something that\u2019s intentionally average \u2013 both in size and in competent but not overwhelming g\/p-spot stimulation \u2013 the Splendid Small<\/a> is for you. It\u2019s not a tentacl<\/a>e, a g-spot brutalizer<\/a>, or a highly textured a-spotter<\/a>; it\u2019s the mild but splendidly<\/em> satisfying staple that sits at the front<\/em> of your bedside table drawer.<\/p>\n

The first is a view of the Splendid’s base, and the second is a close-up of its head.]<\/figcaption><\/figure>(Now, if you\u2019re just trying to save $10-$20 by going with the Small over the Medium, I recommend just budgeting the extra and going with the Medium<\/a>. It\u2019s girthier, has some texturing, and its curve is more targeted \u2013 but it\u2019s still a comfortable regular use dildo.)<\/p>\n

final thoughts on the uberrime splendid small<\/em><\/h4>\n

The Splendid Small\u2019s pastel pearl shades are a perfect match for its impact: soft, easy, and pleasant<\/em>. If you\u2019ve found yourself intimidated by texturing, above-average sizing, or hyper-realistic designs, the Splendid Small<\/a> is a pretty alternative with a gently curved shaft that\u2019s great for petting the right spots without being overpowering.<\/p>\n

Its chunky base makes a decent handhold, but it\u2019s even better for harness use. Because of the sturdy base and the dildo\u2019s stiff core maintaining the toy\u2019s shape, I highly recommend it for strap-on sex if the size suits your needs. The sleek, slightly matte surface becomes heavenly with water-based lube<\/a>, and the head\u2019s slight squish means it won\u2019t be a battering ram no matter how excitable you get.<\/p>\n
