I have reviewed the silexd models before so i went for a change when going up a size, this is brilliant. For starters it looks amazing, very well textured and very firm to hold, it does bend easily forwards but that isnt an issue. When inserted any flexiblity has gone and it remains firm all the way down, the width as quoted is at the top so 6.25, but about an inch down from the top it goes to between 6.50 and 6.75, so is lovely and thick which is one of the things that drew me to this. You can definatley feel the veins and texture as you use this big boy, which just adds to the pleasure of using it. Highly recommened this is a real pleasure to play with and has great results.
