I was going to start this review with “One of my all-time favorite dildos is the Uberrime Splendid,” but that’s not quite right. I opened the review for the Splendid with “This is my favorite dildo” and that statement still stands. So you can imagine how intrigued I was to be offered a larger version of the Splendid to review for Peepshow Toys.
The Splendid Large dildo has everything I loved about the original Splendid, it’s just been done bigger. And thicker. And chunkier. My last dildo review was for another large Uberrime piece: the Night King “Fire and Ice” fantasy dong. The Night King is long and offers a lot of texture. The Splendid Large is also pretty long (8 total inches; 7.5 insertable inches) and offers something for those who want an even thicker toy. The girth of this thing is really the reason to “go large,” so if you’re not interested (or not ready) for a toy that’s pretty thick, I’d definitely recommend the original Splendid instead. And even if the 6-inch Splendid is more than you’d like, there’s even a Small Splendid, with 5.25 insertable inches and a less thick head and shaft (1.5″ max head diameter; 1.43″ max shaft diameter).
COMPARE: My photo of the Splendid Large side-by-side with the Original Splendid
The original has a maximum shaft diameter of 1.67 inches (the average diameter is listed as 1.6″). The large version has a head with a diameter of 2 inches and a shaft with a max diameter of 2.07″ — that might not seem like a significant difference, but if you look at the side-by-side photo of both toys, you can see how much beefier the bigger one really is.
The overall design of both is pretty similar. Both have a fairly realistic head with a rounded tip spreading into bulbous glans defined by a deep ridge that separates the tip from the shaft. This is one of the features I love about Marco’s dildos: the ridge offers such a great textural experience, you almost want to forget the thick shaft behind it and spend all your toy time popping the head in and out of your hole just to feel that ridge.
Swollen head, thick curved shaft, and a base that doubles as a suction cup
Actually, if you don’t have a lot of experience with thick toys, you might have to work your way up to the shaft. I did. Luckily, like the original version, the head of this cock seems to be softer and squishier than the rest of the toy, which makes it a little easier to work it inside tighter holes. Anyhow, one of things I loved about the original was the dual-density silicone, which gives the sensation of a softer outer layer covering a solid inner core. To me, this makes a dildo feel more like a real (hard) dick. Coupled with the way silicone easily warms to your body temperature, dual-density dongs always feel more lifelike, even more so when you’re moving them in and out. Working it all the way in to the base will leave you feeling extra full and stretched, especially if you haven’t used larger anal toys much.
Make no mistake, a thicker shaft means less experienced users will have to use more time and patience to work this large dildo in. And lots of lube, lots of lube, lots of lube. I don’t normally pre-lube my hole, but in this case I had to. Just lubing the dildo itself wasn’t going to work for me. Thankfully, my go-to water-based lubricant for anal toys — Sliquid Sassy — is thick enough to work well with this dildo. While not as textured as the Night King cock, the Splendid Large does feature some nice detailing: a beautiful thick cord that runs down the underside of the shaft, and an assortment of veins snaking up and down the length of the toy. Because of the softer outer layer and the bigger size, I didn’t feel these textural elements quite as much as I did with the Night King, but they sure do make for a sexy looking piece. With its bulbous head, deep groove, curved and veined shaft, the Splendid Large does look fairly realistic. You won’t find this in fleshtone colors; instead, Marco — the artist behind the handmade Uberrime silicone toys — has made this dildo in three different pearl shades: blue, violet and rose.

Like the original, the dildo sits atop a thick anal-safe base which doubles as a suction cup, so you can not only use it handheld style, but you can anchor it to a smooth surface (like a floor or wall) and ride it hands free. It’s also compatible with some harnesses (Peepshow Toys says 2-inch O-ring diameter). I haven’t yet worked my way up to riding this thing, but it’s nice to know I have the option of mounting it when I’m ready to go for it. As you might expect, the larger version is fairly heavy and solid, so it’s going to feel meatier than the original when you grasp it in your hand.
So while this toy’s larger size hasn’t made it possible to use it the same way I do my favorite original Splendid dildo, I’d heartily recommend it to anyone searching for a well made body-safe silicone toy that’s long, thick, and heavy.
