Is PVC a good material for a realistic dildo? PVC is widely used for realistic dildos because it takes fine detail well. Veins, skin texture and the shape of the head come out sharply, and the material is firm enough to hold its form during use while still having some flex. The PVC used for The Matador is described by the maker as non-porous and contains no phthalates, paraffin, latex or synthetic fragrance. It is easy to wash with soap and water. Use water-based lubricant with it and store it separately from toys made of other materials.
Loverboy The Matador: a detailed 8 inch dildo
The Matador is a realistic dildo from the Loverboy line. It is 8 inches long with 6.25 inches insertable and 1.75 inches wide, a size the maker pitches at the average player. The shaft is sculpted with detailed texture to look and feel lifelike. It is made of non-porous PVC with no phthalates, paraffin, latex or synthetic fragrance.
The suction cup base mounts on almost any smooth, flat, non-porous surface for hands-free use. It is also harness compatible, so The Matador can be worn as a strap-on. That gives you three ways to use one toy: in the hand, on a surface or on a partner.
Best for: A solid all-rounder for people who want a realistic dildo of moderate girth that can do several jobs: handheld solo use, hands-free riding on a suction cup, or strap-on play with a partner. The 1.75 inch width is manageable for most users with some experience.

How to use
Wash The Matador with warm water and mild soap, then dry it. Decide how you want to use it. For hands-free play, press the lightly dampened suction cup onto a clean, smooth, flat surface and check the hold. For handheld use, grip it at the base. Spread water-based lubricant along the shaft. Start with the head and work up to more depth at your own pace; 6.25 inches is insertable. For a harness, push the shaft through the ring from the back so the base sits flush, then adjust the straps until the dildo feels stable.
Care
- Use water-based lubricant; avoid oil-based products, which can break down PVC.
- Wash with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner before and after each use. Do not boil it.
- Dry it fully, including the inside of the suction cup.
- Store it on its own, as PVC can react with toys made of other materials.
- Keep it away from heat and direct sunlight.

Frequently asked questions
What are The Matador's measurements?
The feature list gives 8 inches in length, 6.25 inches insertable, and 1.75 inches in width. The difference between total and insertable length is the suction cup base and the lower part of the toy, which stay outside the body.
Can I wear it in a harness?
Yes. The maker describes it as harness compatible. A harness with an O-ring sized for a 1.75 inch shaft will hold it best. Feed the dildo through from behind so the flat base rests against the ring.
Where will the suction cup hold?
On almost any smooth, flat, non-porous surface, according to the maker. Tile, glass, mirrors and sealed counters work well. Wood grain, textured tile and painted walls usually do not. A slightly damp cup gives a stronger seal.
Is it too big for a beginner?
The maker describes it as sized for the average player. At 1.75 inches wide it is fuller than a slim starter dildo. If this is your first toy, go slowly with plenty of lubricant, or consider a 6 inch model such as Top Gun Tommy.
How does it differ from The Goalie?
Both are PVC Loverboy dildos with the same listed size, a suction cup and a harness fit. The Matador is a plain, non-powered dildo. The Goalie adds a vibrator with an adjustable remote control and needs 2 AA batteries.
