Clone-A-Willy Glow in the Dark Review

Personal Experience

Is it Science? Is it Art? No, it’s Clone-A-Willy!

Very Stressy and Very Messy

It Was Hard…Until it Wasn’t

Design

I think the overall look of the finished product is fun but a bit cheap-looking, especially with the plasticky vibrator sticking out of the end. If I were to do this again, I would do it without the vibrator. I have to say though, I'm very impressed by how well it glows. I'd actually forgotten it was a glow in the dark set until I went into my dining room and was confused by the glowing mass on the table! It did pick up a fair amount of detail but erectile fluctuations during the process meant that the end result wasn't that accurate and a little oddly-shaped in places.

Ease of Use

Yeah this was not the fun and easy sexy craft project we'd hoped for and reading other reviews online, I would say we were a lot more successful than many! There's so much room for error along the way as everything needs to be done precisely and quickly. Add that to the fact that you need to maintain a good erection while dunking yourself into cold goo, and you've got a recipe for disappointment. Clone-a-Willy do sell replacement supplies, but the silicone refills alone are almost as much as the kit. Considering how difficult these kits are to get right, I think that's pretty cheeky!

Quality

I wasn't overly impressed by the quality of the kit or the finished product. The kit seems like it's made to fail and the finished product, i you make it that far, doesn't look particularly appealing. Ithas quite a lot of texture, including some small holes where there was bubbles left in the silicone, even after tapping it for ages to try to prevent this. The included vibrator is also pretty rubbish — it's incredibly weak and buzzy. If I was going to do this again, and didn't have to try it all for the purpose of a review, I would only do it with the intention of making an homage to my partner's penis and not with the intention of making a usable sex toy.

Price

Considering how easy it is to mess up, I think the price is too high! I would be really disappointed to drop just over $50 and not have anything to show for it accept for a messy floor and deformed silicone dong. I also think the price of silicone refills is extortionately high. Even though ours came out relatively well, it's still a lot to pay for a pretty low quality finished product.

Performance

I have to say, I wasn't that excited to use the Clone-a-Willy. As much as I love my partner and his appendage, the glowing blue, slightly deformed replica with it's cheap battery powered vibrator didn't excite me. The incredibly weak and buzzy and weird texture of the silicone was just too off-putting.

Packaging

The packaging of the Clone-a-Willy is quite colorful and fun but definitely not discreet! Everything comes packed inside a plastic tube, which also becomes the container for the mold. The main downside is that there is a lot of plastic waste involved in making this kit. I did manage to reuse some old food containers that were going to be recycled anyway but there were multiple plastic bags and pots in the kit.

Materials and care

The materials in the kit are quite curious! The mold is made from alginate, which is a natural polymer found in seaweed. It feels hella weird but it's completely body safe. Clone-a-Willy even claim you can eat it but I can tell you now, you definitely won't be tempted to! It's also worth noting that it's totally fine if your alginate mixture is clumpy when you mix it, the mold will still work. The actual finished dildo is made from platinum cure silicone, which is body safe. You will need to mix the two pots of silicone, together with the glowing blue pigment. This is then poured into the alginate cast and left to set for 24 hours. Once set, you can wash the dildo with water and fragrance-free soap, but be careful not to get water into the vibrator as this is not waterproof. You should only use a water-based lubrication with the dildo.
