I was flattered and thrilled when Babeland offered me the Laid D. 1 dildo for review. It’s silicone, it’s a nice medium size, it’s sleek and stylish, and it’s a particularly lovely shade of blue. It comes in a nice solid box for storage. I expected to love it, despite its somewhat pretentious name. Then I tried it. And… meh.
I didn’t hate it, but my lack of affection for the Laid D.1 threw me into confusion. Logically, I should like this toy. I tried it multiple times, but each time I didn’t like it. The dildo felt like it was trying to force my body to conform to it. Thrusting was awkward and even painful. I kept thinking, “this is too hard.” The flat, g-spotting end hit my g-spot, but it took a while, and it wasn’t pleasant when it finally got there. I couldn’t work up the courage to try the pointy end. It felt dense and heavy in a way no other toy I have does. But I love metal and glass toys, so how could that be? I dwelt on it for a long time, and finally I asked my mother, who has a biology degree, how silicone could feel harder than metal or glass, and this is what she said:
Silicone is a polymer that is highly cross-linked. The more cross-linking, the more rigid the polymer… [if it is very tightly-linked] there is no wiggle-room.
So I had an explanation for how this toy could feel so much “harder” 
than metal or glass: its molecules are tightly-linked. But I was still blocked, because I still didn’t understand the toy, and my brain gets stuck when it confronts something it thinks it should understand but doesn’t. This dildo had become Nemesis — I couldn’t write about it, but I couldn’t write anything else until I finished its review.
I finally decided to try the Laid D.1 one last time before reviewing it. K and I had just had sex, I was still aroused, it was as good a time as any to get it over with. I tried the pointy end first, and enjoyed it, in a masochistic way. I don’t know if anyone who doesn’t like to fantasize about things being done to them against their will would like it. Then I turned the dildo around, expecting to be underwhelmed again.
It was amazing. I had no trouble finding my g-spot, and the shape, size and firmness of the Laid D.1 were perfect. I tried thrusting, but only once or twice; this is not a thrusting toy. Instead, the g-spot end is built for pressure. I held it inside me, turning it just a little, and was overwhelmed. I used the Laya Spot with it, and had two serious, exhausting orgasms.
I believe I now understand the Laid D.1. It is a toy I will only use when I am super aroused and warmed up — after penis-in-vagina sex, in other words. It’s not a toy that gives me pleasure otherwise. However, my g-spot is sensitive and easily hurt; for people who need lots — and I mean LOTS — of firm pressure to stimulate their g-spots, the Laid D. 1 might be perfect all the time.

Thanks, Babeland, for sending me the Laid D. 1 to review, even if it did nearly break my brain!
