Summary

What really drew me to Twin Tail Creations’ Ember was the combination of scale texture, a knot, and short insertable length for the girth! This is a pretty uncommon combination as models usually only have one, maybe two of those aspects. Unfortunately, Ember did not quite live up to my expectations, but some of my expectations may have also been too high! It is a very pretty fade with split base pour. The tapered tip does a nice job of helping it slip in deeper when hilting Ember.

The scale and bump textures were not as intense as I wanted but that’s no fault of the sculpt and more my personal preference, having taken Bad Dragon’s more texturally intense Flint already! The main fault I have with the Ember sculpt (in medium size and smaller) is there’s not enough space behind the knot to properly take the knot and tie in. While still giving a nice satisfying stretch, it doesn’t deliver that proper knotting sensation I would look for in a knotted dildo.

Ember may be a good fit if you’re looking for:

-           Moderate scaly/ridged texture along with moderately intense bump texture

-           Tapered tip with a gradually widening shaft to a knot

-           Shorter insertable length for the knot girth! (made my short and thick list)

-           High-fantasy (dragon) themed dildo

Any notable drawbacks?

-           Lack of space behind the knot makes it difficult or impossible to fully ‘knot’ and ‘tie-in’ on shaft behind the knot, at least on the medium size for me

-           Unnecessarily deep urethral slit in the tip, requires more attention during cleaning

Specifications

Dimensions, inches (from Twin Tail Creations' site):

The overall textures of Ember are moderately intense, but not actually as intense as they look! I’ll compare this primarily to Bad Dragon’s Flint whose textures feel more intense overall. There are a couple of reasons for this. When pre-stretched to be able to take the knot size of Ember, the shaft is relatively smaller so you’re not at the girth limit there, where extra variations in texture I feel become more intense. The scale/ridge shape also makes a noticeable difference in feel, although visually the differences are not as obvious. In the second image here, compare Bad Dragon’s Flint on the left (green) to Twin Tail Creations’ Ember on the right (pink). Flint’s scales/ridges are more step-like which makes them feel more intense versus Ember’s scales/ridges are more rounded. This also results in the hole/lips gripping Flint’s scales more noticeably compared to Ember’s scales.

Base Design

The first aspect getting to the base when hilting the dildo (taking the full insertable length), there is not enough shaft behind the knot on the medium sized Ember for it to fully pop in (for my body at least). This is a similar problem I had with Phreak’s Okami, which is not technically advertised as a knotted dildo, but the base on it is smaller (still plenty large for anal safety in my case!) I am able to pop the “knot” of it fully in with some effort. The base on Ember is much larger, which starts to get in the way when trying to pop the knot fully in and get my hole closing between the knot and the base.

Don’t get me wrong, Ember is still plenty pleasurable with the knot giving a pronounced stretching sensation, but for a well-designed knotted dildo I would expect there to be enough room to allow the knot to pop in and “tie” the knot! If less familiar with knotted dildos, it’s kind of equivalent to that popping in sensation of a plug after moving past the widest part of the bulb, with the hole bearing down and gripping onto the thinner neck. With Ember’s knot it is like experiencing the stretch part of the plug, but without the second half of the experience fully popping in and hole gripping behind it. For the large and extra large sizes of Ember there could be just enough space to tie in the knot, but for the medium size and I imagine even more of an issue for smaller sizes there is not.
