Doc Johnson Crystal Jellies Ballsy Suction Cup Dildo Review
My Verdict
Overall, I am very satisfied with this toy. It is on the large side, so some warmup is necessary even with some experience, but those accustomed to larger toys should find no issue with the soft yet firm feel. I would not recommend this toy for beginners, but for someone adventurous enough, it could be a nice challenge. Being somewhat of a size queen, I find this a nice, easy dildo to take with little warmup, that can definitely take me to a finish. It's a great all-rounder that isn't too large, but doesn't leave you wanting, even after going up in sizes. The primary detractor is the fact that it's made of PVC and therefore not consistently body-safe.

About The Doc johnson Crystal Jellies Ballsy Suction Cup Dildo
This dildo is exactly what it says on the tin. It has an overall length of 9" with a useable length of just over 7", and an impressive girth at 1.9" in diameter. With a strong suction cup base, some realistically textured balls and a smooth head for entry, it has all of the basics one could ask for. A very straight and slightly textured shaft, with a consistent and even thickness from head to base, it offers no surprises but it doesn't need any to get the job done.

Personal Experience
Overall Experience
This is definitely a great choice for almost anyone with some experience in size, and though it can be a little intimidating, it’s not so big as to cause pain if taken slowly. It is definitely a personal favourite, and is more than satisfying, even from someone who has gone larger before. The overall texture and feel of the dildo is great, it’s a smooth ride with enough texture that it’s not boring, and the PVC takes to lube very well so it never feels too dry, even with water based lube. The strong suction cup makes for great riding potential, and harness compatibility as a bonus! Speaking of harness compatibility, it’s slightly unwieldy in a non-strappy harness as the weight can be a little much, but it’s stiff enough that it’s not too big of a problem. It will be able to stand on its own, but may need some support with more vigorous thrusting though that will more depend on the harness it’s attached to than anything.Personal Uses
Having had this toy for a few years now, I have plenty of experience. I have used this toy anally, on myself and with a partner (both harness and freehand), and though oral with something like this is a fun image, it can never really go beyond imagination. My favourite use with this toy is as a solo anal toy, it’s much too large for my partner to use on herself, but as someone who enjoys the fullness it is quite the fun time. Overall it takes at leas 10-15 minutes of warmup for me to take this comfortably, but once I’m ready it never really gets painful for me. I can move up a size and back down, and it never feels lacking, and moving down then up makes it feel “right at home”. It maintains it’s spot as my personal favourite despite the issues with the material, and I will be looking to find something of similar size and feel made out of a more body-safe material.Partner Play
Ah, the best section, and yet, a section where this dildo loses some lustre. As a harness toy, I have to repeat myself and say that this is BIG. With the added pressure of another body, it can be difficult for your partner to fully feel when it’s too much pressure, and the size can be very overwhelming. It’s still doable, and it’s still VERY enjoyable when done right, but it takes a lot more time and patience to be comfortable taking something like this when it’s out of your control. I would recommend doing some solo adventuring with this toy before introducing it to a harness unless you’re 100% certain that you are fully prepared for the stretch that comes with the forcefulness.Oral Uses
As a purely clinical examination this could be a fine toy for oral play, material not withstanding, but it’s just too big to be reasonable. Trying to force this can, and likely will, cause some pretty serious harm. I do not recommend unless you know exactly what you’re doing.Design
What can I say other than, smooth! It's quite straightforward, with its widest point being both the crest of the head and the entire shaft. Minimal, but present, the veins and texturing bring it together into a realistic facsimile of reality (though larger than life). It only gets 9/10 from me because it lacks anything that sets it apart from the crowd. It's simple, and it works, what's to complain about?
Ease of Use
I give this a 10/10! But for a more general audience, a 7/10 is more appropriate. The suction cup is STRONG, on a decent surface it can be bent to touch the surface itself without coming off. It is large, but something that could be a decent challenge for anyone that wants to really Expand their horizons ;). Truthfully, it loses points for it's size, it may be uncomfortable or downright painful for someone who isn't accustomed to something this large, and though the length won't usually be an issue, I find that's usually the lesser concern.
Quality
This is where it loses some of that value. Unfortunately it had several pockmarks as soon as it was removed from the packaging, and the material itself doesn't seem to be geared for a long lasting toy. It deforms and "melts" when in contact with silicone easily, and it can start tearing if stretched too much. Definitely a good point for starting with this size, but may need to be replaced in a few years' time.
Price
Overall it's fairly expensive for a dildo, but given it's size it's a decent price point. There are definitely cheaper options out there, and given the material quality I may recommend springing for something with a little "more". It comes alone in the box, not even a texture sampler, but given the amount of pleasure I've gotten out of it, I would still say it's a good starting point for exploration with plans to replace it with a silicone toy sooner than later.
Performance
The performance is fantastic. That's really all I can say — it doesn't have vibrations, it's exactly what it needs to be to get the job done. It has an easy grip for solo play with the suction cup/balls, and it holds in every harness that it's compatible with. It can be painful due to it's girth, but with some prep and its softness, it goes in easy, and is comfortable to use for long periods.
Packaging
The packaging leaves very little to the imagination, with very bright colours and a clear plastic to see EXACTLY what you're buying. There is no extras with the packaging, being a hard plastic, it has some basic care instructions and nothing more. It leaves a little to be desired as there is no texture sample, and the seal is nothing more than a few placements of a heat sealer. Points for being able to open without scissors though!
Materials and care
This toy is made of an, unfortunately non-body safe PVC, that is quite porous and unstable. It requires high maintenance to remain safe, and even then is not a recommended material. The porosity makes it very difficult to clean properly, and the instability can cause some types of PVC to leak toxins. This unfortunately causes me to lower the overall rating, not to something I would never recommend for purchase, but with a warning that long term use is definitely not something I would advise. It's always better to lean on the safer side :)
