How does a twist dial vibrator work? The control is the cap at the bottom of the toy. Turning it one way switches the motor on, and the further you turn, the stronger the vibration gets. Turning it back lowers the power and then switches it off. There are no preset patterns to cycle through, so you can move between gentle and strong in one motion and stop at any point in between. The same cap covers the compartment for the 2 AA batteries.
X5 Hard On: 9 inches of soft vibrating TPE
The X5 Hard On is a realistic vibrating dildo made of soft TPE. It measures 9.25 inches overall, with 7.5 inches insertable and a width of 1.75 inches. The shaft is thick and veined, and it flexes so you can change the angle as you go. The material is free of phthalates, paraffins, latex and added fragrance.
Vibration is set with a multi-speed cap at the base: twist it to raise or lower the power. The toy is waterproof and runs on 2 AA batteries. It is sold in a natural skin tone. The same cap holds the batteries.
Best for: For people who already know they like a long, thick toy and want vibration built in. The 1.75 inch width and 7.5 inch insertable length make it a size for experienced users, and the simple dial suits anyone who prefers one control over a row of buttons.

How to use
Unscrew the cap at the base, fit 2 AA batteries and screw the cap back on firmly so the seal is tight. Wash the dildo before first use. Apply a water-based lubricant to the shaft and to yourself. Start with the vibration off or on its lowest setting and insert slowly, since this is a thick toy. Once it feels comfortable, twist the cap to raise the power until you find the level you like. Twist it back to switch off. Take the batteries out if you will not use it for a while.
Care
- Use water-based lubricant only; silicone and oil-based products can damage TPE.
- Wash with warm water and mild soap before and after each use, with the cap closed tightly.
- Do not boil it or put it in a dishwasher.
- Dry it fully and remove the batteries before storing.
- Store it apart from other toys, away from heat and sunlight.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the X5 Hard On?
It is 9.25 inches long overall, and 7.5 inches of that can be inserted. The width is 1.75 inches. That is longer and thicker than average, so it is a better choice for experienced users than for a first toy.
What batteries does it take?
It needs 2 AA batteries, which go in under the twist cap at the base. The distributor's listing does not say that batteries come with it, so have a pair ready when it arrives.
Can I use it in the shower?
Yes. The distributor lists it as waterproof. Make sure the battery cap is screwed on all the way before it gets wet, and dry the toy and the cap threads afterward.
Which lubricant should I use?
A water-based lubricant. The body is TPE, a soft, porous material that can break down with silicone or oil-based lubricants. Water-based formulas are safe for it and rinse off easily.
How many speeds does it have?
The listing describes a multi-speed dial and does not give a number of settings. You turn the cap to raise or lower the power, so you choose the level by feel instead of stepping through modes.
