Cloneboy Personal Dildo: review

Cloneboy Personal Dildo at a glance — what you get

Cloneboy Personal Dildo is not a finished dildo. It’s a casting kit: a cardboard box in tube form with raw materials, a penis ring, and instructions, and the finished product is made for the first time at your home by you. That’s an important difference compared with everything else in the dildo category, because almost every specification that usually determines a purchase — length, circumference, bend, weight of the finished toy — is determined by the person who casts it, not by the manufacturer.

The manufacturer is Wonderboys in Amsterdam, which owns the Cloneboy brand and, according to its own assortment overview, has 22 different versions of the same basic idea. This article is the skin-colored dildo variant. Retailers call the color different things — ”Light skin color”, ”Beige”, and ”Personal Dildo Skin” — but all of them list the same barcode.

This review is exclusively about the item with EAN 8713221162229. The number can be checked in four places: in the gtin13 field in the structured data at three sources, and in the specification table at another source, where the item number is also listed as SC0970-1 with Scala Selection named as the stated manufacturer. A lookup in the EAN database UPCitemdb links the same number to “Cloneboy Cast Your Own Silicone Dildo Kit-Flesh”, registered in the Netherlands. This matches the variant the stores sell. The manufacturer publishes no EAN at all on its own website, for either this variant or any other in the range.

The item is not sold by any shop in our data in this market.

What a casting kit is, and what it isn’t

The principle is the same as with dental impressions. You mix a powder with cold water into a thick, viscous mass, insert an erigerated penis into the mass, and let it set. What remains is a negative impression—a cavity with exactly the same shape as the original. In that cavity, you then pour silicone rubber mixed with a hardener. Once the silicone has cured, you break off the impression paste mass and have a positive copy in silicone.

The manufacturer describes the impression paste as medically tested and made of natural algae, and emphasizes on both the product page and the home page that it does not contain plaster. It’s not marketing talk but a relevant technical difference. Plaster releases heat as it sets and can dry out and irritate the skin, while alginate—the impression paste used in dental care—sets without any notable heat development. A kit based on alginate instead of plaster is therefore, in principle, more suitable for skin contact.

What a kit of this kind is not is a predictable product. The result depends on water temperature, mixing time, how steady the erection is during the minutes the mass sets, and how carefully the silicone is poured down without air pockets. The product text states plainly that the item is sold as a gag product—“adult novelty”—and it’s a more honest description of the level of expectations than most shop texts in the category. What can be said is that you’re buying a process with an uncertain outcome, not a finished toy with specified dimensions.

Personal Dildo, Dildo Black, or Suction Cup—who’s which among Cloneboy?

The manufacturer’s 22 versions all build on the same base kit. The differences are in the silicone’s color and whether anything extra is included in the tube. Four variants are sold in parallel and are regularly mixed together in retailers’ search results.

• Personal Dildo — the kit that this text is about. Skin-colored silicone, a penis ring, and a stimulation sleeve, no motor and no attachment. The manufacturer’s list price for the corresponding dildo kit is 34,95 euro.
• Dildo Black — the same kit with black silicone.
• Dildo With Vibrator — the same kit plus a vibrator unit that is cast into the copy.
• Dildo With Suction Cup — the same kit plus a suction cup that is cast into the base so the copy can be attached to a smooth surface.

So the difference between the variants is therefore not the casting process, which is identical, but what’s at the bottom of the tube. In practice, that means the choice comes down to color and function: if you want a replica that can be attached to bathroom tiles, or one that vibrates, you choose the vibrating version. In this market, no shop in our data sells it. If you only want a replica in silicone, then it’s this article, or the black one, that applies.

What’s in the tube: six parts and an instruction

The manufacturer’s own contents image for the dildo kit shows five things: a jar of silicone rubber, a wooden mixing paddle, a bag with 3D gel, the black lasso penis ring, and the stimulating sleeve in rubber. The homepage adds that a color-printed step-by-step instruction is included at no extra cost, and the product text says that the material for a second mold is included if the first one fails.

The stores list the contents slightly differently, and the differences are worth reporting because they concern one of the few details that can actually be checked in the package. Two other shops both state that the packaging contains two bags of casting powder, while another shop lists one bag. The packaging tube, which can be seen in the stores’ own product photos, carries the text about extra 3D gel for two molds. The manufacturer’s product text says the same thing in words: unlike other clone kits, Cloneboy always gives you a second chance to make a new mold if the first one fails. We therefore end up with two bags being the correct information, and the third shop’s list being incomplete on that point — but since the manufacturer does not publish any formal contents list, it can’t be confirmed with certainty.

The list, however, is the only one that mentions the actual casting tube as a separate component, and the only one that explicitly mentions the curing agent for the silicone. The manufacturer’s subpage for the silicone rubber confirms the curing agent: it states that curing agent and mixing spoon are included when the silicone is bought separately. Another listing adds a piece of information that’s missing from all the others — lubricant is not included — which matters because casting normally requires the skin to be lubricated so the imprint releases.

3D gel: algae instead of plaster

The imprint compound is also sold separately by the manufacturer, under the name 3D Gel, for 9,95 euro. The subpage is the only place where a mixing instruction with numbers is actually published: the powder should be mixed with 500 cubic centimeters of cold water, using a whisk or an electric mixer. The same page also repeats that the compound does not contain plaster and that it is medically tested and made from natural algae.

The word “kallt” (cold) is not a detail. Alginate sets faster in warm water, and what determines the whole process is that you have time to lower the penis and stay still before the mass sets. The manufacturer states a three-minute setting time for the mold and highlights it as being longer than in competing kits. Three minutes isn’t a long time, but it is the crucial difference versus a kit that sets in one minute—and it’s also the reason why the water should be cold and not lukewarm.

What isn’t published is how much powder a packet contains. The manufacturer states the amount of water but not the amount of powder—neither in grams nor in deciliters—and in the seven stores we checked, none fills in the gap. That means it’s not possible to calculate the mixing ratio, and therefore neither to assess how sensitive the mixture is if you add a little too much water.

Silicone: “skin feel” and a hardener with a hazard pictogram

The silicone is what’s left when everything else has been thrown away, and that’s why it’s the only material detail that matters in the long run. The manufacturer describes it as “high quality skin feel silicone rubber” and states that the amount is more than enough for penises of all sizes. Hardener and mixing scoop are included. The jar costs 11.95 euro on its own, so it’s just over a third of the kit’s list price.

What can be determined from the product photos from the stores is that the hardener is delivered in a small brown glass bottle with a printed hazard pictogram. This is normal for a two-component silicone and is nothing that distinguishes Cloneboy from other casting systems, but it’s also why the instructions should be followed and why the bottle shouldn’t be left out. The manufacturer does not publish the hardener’s constituent substance, the dosage in drops or milliliters, or how long an opened bottle lasts.

Just as important: the manufacturer states anywhere what type of silicone it is. There are two main families in casting—platinum-cured and tin-cured—and they differ in how they age, how they tolerate other materials, and how they behave on skin. The competitor Empire Labs explicitly states for its Clone-A-Willy Kit that the silicone is 100 percent platinum-cured and of medical quality. Cloneboy only writes “skin feel.” This is one of the clearest differences in the reported information between the two brands, and it works to Cloneboy’s disadvantage.

The Lasso penis ring and the stimulation sleeve

The penis ring is a latch model: a flexible cord with a locking head that is tightened around the base of the penis. The manufacturer’s product page states that it is made of rubber and ABS plastic. The function in this context is not pleasure but shape stability—it’s meant to help maintain the erection during the few minutes while the imprint compound hardens, which is the moment when most failed castings occur. The shop description says it is adjustable, which matches the latch design.

The stimulation sleeve is a short, ribbed rubber sleeve. The manufacturer describes it briefly as a stimulating rubber sleeve and sells it separately for 9.95 euro. The product text states that it can be used together with the finished copy. What can be established is that the two separate parts together have a list price of 19.90 euro—so more than half of the kit’s own list price of 34.95 euro—which says something about how the manufacturer prices its spare parts rather than about how much the parts are worth in the kit.

Material and hygiene

The material issue is the only characteristic of an intimate product that can’t be compensated for by routine or care, and for a casting kit it applies twice: first, the molding compound that sits against the skin during casting, and second, the silicone that becomes the finished toy.

Why silicone is the right material against mucous membranes

Silicone is a non-porous material. A non-porous surface can be cleaned, because there are no microscopic cavities where residue can remain and form a breeding ground. It is the single most important property of a material that is meant to lie against mucous membranes, and the reason the material declaration carries more weight than almost any other item in a specification.

Here, however, there is a reservation that is specific to casting kits and that no store description mentions. An industrially injection-molded silicone dildo has a smooth, closed surface. A homemade cast copy has the surface the imprint gave it, with every pore and every hair strand depicted, and any air pockets in the surface become small cavities in the finished product. In practice, this means that the material’s non-porosity does not automatically result in a non-porous product—the hygiene of the result depends on how well the casting turned out.

Phthalates, plasticizers, and what the manufacturer does not declare

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic—above all soft (flexible) PVC—flexible. Kemikalieinspektionen describes them as substances that can affect the hormone system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. Silicone does not require phthalate plasticizers to become soft, because the softness comes from the polymer’s own structure. That a product is stated to be silicone is therefore, in itself, better information than labels such as “TPE” or “jelly rubber”.

But the information that brands like Womanizer and Satisfyer routinely provide—expressly free from phthalates, BPA, and latex—Cloneboy does not leave. The manufacturer does not publish any material declaration at all for the silicone, the curing agent, or the rubber parts. One shop writes in its description that the material is “100% body-safe,” but that’s a store formulation without any support from the manufacturer, and it should be read as exactly that. Another shop writes “high-quality silicone,” which is also not a declaration.

For someone with a latex allergy, the flap is particularly troublesome. The penis ring and the stimulation sleeve are both described as rubber, and rubber can mean natural rubber with latex proteins as well as synthetic rubber without. The competitor Clone-A-Willy is expressly stated to be latex-free in the store description. For Cloneboy, there is no corresponding information to rely on.

Dimensions and weight: 468 grams according to two shops, one kilo according to a third

The manufacturer publishes neither dimensions nor weight for the kit. Not the height of the tube, not the inner diameter of the casting mold, not the shipping weight. It’s a striking omission for a product where the internal dimensions of the casting mold are what determine whether the kit fits the user at all.

The shops fill the gap incompletely and contradict each other. Two shops both list the weight as 468 grams in their structured data—two independent shops with the same figure, which makes it the most likely piece of information. Another shop instead lists 1,000000 kilo in the same field, which looks like a standard value for shipping calculations rather than an actual weighing. UPCitemdb lists 1.00 lbs, just over 450 grams, for the same barcode. The conclusion is that the kit reasonably weighs around half a kilo, but the figure is a shop claim and not confirmed by the manufacturer.

Nothing at all is said about the casting mold’s dimensions by either the manufacturer or the shop. The manufacturer limits itself to the wording that the kit fits penises of all sizes, even when bent. It’s a generous formulation without any figures behind it, and it differs markedly from how the competitor does it: Empire Labs states that Clone-A-Willy’s casting mold measures 10.8 × 2.5 inches—i.e., approximately 27.4 × 6.4 centimeters—and recommends extra silicone and an XL vibrator over 7 inches. Another listing for Clone-A-Willy, in turn, states that the kit is dimensioned for penises and vibrators under 23 centimeters. Two figures for the competitor, zero for Cloneboy.

That’s how the molding works: four steps according to the manufacturer

The manufacturer’s instructions are included both as a color-printed sheet in the packaging and as a step image in the product gallery. The image is in English and lists four steps. The shops reproduce the same graphics: one shop publishes it as its own image on its product page, and two others have an instruction image in their image slideshows.

Step by step—and the mistake in the manufacturer’s own graphics

The steps according to the manufacturer’s graphics are: (1) make the penis erect, add the 3D gel and wait a few minutes, (2) add the 3D gel and wait a few minutes, (3) fill the mold with the skin feel silicone rubber and (4) now you have an exact dildo copy of your penis.

Step 1 and step 2 effectively carry the exact same instruction text in the manufacturer’s graphics, which makes the instructions hard to read precisely at the moment that is the most time-critical. The reading that matches the rest of the material is that step 1 is about preparation — erection, penis ring, lubricated skin — while step 2 is the actual molding step where the premixed gel is poured down into the tube around the penis. This is also how Vuxenkuls store text for the black sister kit describes the process.

What’s missing in all four steps is the actual shaping: how you release this hardened copy from the alginate. The manufacturer doesn’t describe it, and none of the shops do either. It’s a step where a rushed hand easily tears apart a successful cast, and it’s worth knowing that the documentation goes quiet right there.

How long does it take? Three minutes, then a day

The manufacturer gives only one time instruction: the mold has a three-minute setting time, and this is presented as longer than with competing kits. The manufacturer does not publish any curing time for the silicone.

That information, however, is provided by a retailer outside the Swedish list. The Swiss Joujou states for the black sister kit that you wait about three minutes until the gel has set, fill the mold with the silicone, and then wait 24 hours before using the copy. It’s a store claim for a sister variant, not a manufacturer claim for this specific item, but it’s the only figure available — and a day of curing is reasonable for a two-component silicone in this volume.

Practically, that means you should plan for two occasions, not one. An evening session of perhaps thirty to forty minutes for mixing, molding, and cleaning, and then a day where the tube can stand undisturbed. Anyone who buys the kit as a gift for the same evening should know that.

Common mistakes — and why two gel pouches matter

The manufacturer makes a point of saying that the kit includes material for a second mold if the first one fails, and that this is what sets Cloneboy apart from competing kits. It’s the most concrete advantage in the entire specification, and the reason is simple: in a one-time attempt, every mistake is final, and the most common mistakes cost nothing more than a new pouch of powder.

The possible sources of error that can be traced back to the manufacturer’s own instructions are three. The first is water temperature — the instructions explicitly say cold water, and warmer water shortens the three minutes. The second is the mixture; the manufacturer recommends whisking or using an electric mixer, which suggests that a single stick alone isn’t enough to remove lumps. The third is erection during the setting time, which is the whole reason the lasso penis ring is included in the package.

That it includes material for two molds, but only silicone for one copy, is a detail the stores don’t spell out, but which follows from the manufacturer’s own product structure: the 3D gel is sold separately for 9,95 euro, and the silicone jar is 11,95 euro. So the second chance is about the mold, not the casting — if the silicone casting itself fails, then a new jar must be bought.

Cleaning, lubricant, and storage

The care instructions for the finished copy are short, and most of what applies follows from the fact that the product is silicone rather than anything Cloneboy publishes.

How is the finished copy cleaned?

One store states in its product text that the finished dildo is cleaned with mild soap and lukewarm water after use. That is the only care instruction that any of the seven stores publishes, and the manufacturer publishes none at all.

The water issue deserves clarification. Vuxenkuls’s specification table lists the line “Water-resistant: Yes,” which for a product without electronics is a reasonable claim — there is no battery and no motor that could be damaged. But that is a store claim, and the manufacturer gives no IP rating and no formal watertightness. Since the copy consists of cured silicone without electrical parts, the risk from water in practice is low, but the absence of a rating means it’s reasoning and not a tested claim.

A tip that follows from the casting method rather than from the documentation: check the finished copy against light before using it. Air pockets that reach the surface become cavities that collect residue and can’t be cleaned properly, and a copy with such cavities should be discarded and recast rather than used.

Which lubricant works with a silicone copy?

Water-based. Silicone-based lubricant should not be used on silicone products — it breaks down the silicone surface over time and makes it porous, and a porous surface can no longer be cleaned properly, only thrown away. Oil-based products like coconut oil leave a film that’s hard to remove.

Lubricant is also needed in the actual molding step, so that the impression compound releases from the skin. One store explicitly points out that lubricant is not included in the packaging, which is the only store that does that. So count on an extra item at checkout if you don’t already have water-based lubricant at home.

What the manufacturer doesn’t publish

Cloneboy is the brand in this category that shows the least. It’s worth gathering the missing details in one place, because together they say more about the product than any individual specification does.

The manufacturer publishes no EAN, no measurements for either the kit or the casting tube, no weight, no amount specification for silicone or casting powder, no curing time for the silicone, no information about the silicone type, no Shore hardness, no material declaration for phthalates, BPA, or latex, no shelf life time for the included chemicals, and no warranty period. The only number shown in the manufacturer’s technical material is the amount of water for the 3D gel: 500 cubic centimeters, and the setting time of three minutes.

What can be established is that the gaps are not random. They cover all the questions where an answer could be compared with a competitor—and where the competitor Empire Labs, which states platinum-cured medical silicone, the casting tube’s measurements in inches, and a clear size recommendation, would win the comparison. That in itself is a message, albeit not the one stated in the product text.

Cloneboy Personal Dildo compared with the alternatives

Three comparisons are relevant: against the black variant of the same kit, against Cloneboy’s own more expensive variants, and against the other brand in the category. All the information below comes from the respective manufacturer’s or store’s own pages.

See the shops above for pricing for the different colors.

The store’s ingredient list is identical for both except on one point: for the black one, it lists two packages of 3D modeling, curing agent, silicone, and a penis ring, while the text for the skin-colored one additionally mentions that the packaging holds two bags of casting powder as a reserve. In this market, no shop in our data sells it.

With the manufacturer, the two variants cost exactly the same—34.95 euros. So the color isn’t a cost in the production process. What actually differs is how the result looks: a black silicone copy becomes a toy that doesn’t try to resemble skin, while the skin-colored variant is sold precisely for the similarity. The manufacturer describes its light silicone as “skin feel,” and an observation belongs here: the manufacturer’s own web shop lists no skin-colored variant at all—only Pink, Black, Glow in the Dark, Blue, Purple, Yellow, and Hot Pink. The skin-colored item is a distributor variant, which is also reflected in distributor listings: one lists Scala Selection as the manufacturer, while another lists Scala in the brand field. In this market, no shop in our data sells it.

Against Dildo With Vibrator and Dildo With Suction Cup

At the manufacturer, the two more expensive Cloneboy variants are priced 3 euros apart: 37,95 versus 34,95.

The vibrator variant adds a vibrator unit that is cast into the copy. The store’s contents list states two packages for 3D modeling, hardener, silicone, sleeve, penis ring, and vibrator. The suction cup variant replaces the vibrator with a suction cup that is cast into the base, so the copy can be attached to a smooth surface and used hands-free.

It’s hard to argue against taking one of them instead, if the function sounds useful. What speaks for the starter kit is simplicity: fewer parts that have to be positioned correctly in the mold casting means fewer ways for it to go wrong, and a molded-in vibrator unit that ends up at an angle can’t be moved afterward. What can be stated is that the price difference isn’t the argument — it’s the risk in the casting step.

Against Clone-A-Willy — significantly better detailed

Clone-A-Willy from Empire Labs is the only competing brand with the same reach in retail. No shop in our data sells Cloneboy in this market.

For that difference, according to the manufacturer’s own product page: 100 percent platinum-cured silicone of medical quality, algae-based casting powder, a casting tube with specified dimensions of 10.8 × 2.5 inches, a single-turn vibrator, mixing pin, disposable thermometer, and instructions. The store adds that the vibrator is powered by two AA batteries that are not included, that the kit is latex-free, and that it’s sized for penises and vibrators under 23 centimeters. Empire Labs also states that the kits are hand-assembled in Portland, Oregon, and that extra casting powder costs 7.95 dollars, penis ring 8.95 dollars, and suction cup mount 8.95 dollars.

The disposable thermometer is the detail that best illustrates the difference in ambition level. It’s there so the water temperature determines how quickly the alginate sets — exactly what Cloneboy handles with the word “cold” in a sentence on a half-page. What can be established is that Clone-A-Willy reports the type of silicone, the dimensions of the casting tube, a size limit, and an aid for temperature control, while Cloneboy reports neither.

What Cloneboy has, but Clone-A-Willy lacks, is the spare material for a second mold, and the lasso penis ring in the starter kit — at Empire Labs, the penis ring is an accessory for 8.95 dollars. If the budget is decisive, then Cloneboy gives you a second chance with the mold. If predictability and documented material quality matter more, then Clone-A-Willy is the better buy, and the price difference per attempt shrinks quickly if the first casting fails.

Who is Cloneboy Personal Dildo for — and who is it not for?

It’s for you if you’re after the project itself. Making a cast of a copy is an activity in itself, preferably together, and the manufacturer explicitly writes that the kit can be used alone or with a partner. It’s for you if you want a gift item with high impact and a low price tag, and for you if you want a skin-colored copy rather than a black one. Plus, the fact that material for a second mold is included makes it an even more forgiving choice for someone who has never cast anything before.

It’s not for you if you want to know what you’re getting before you pay. The dimensions of the finished product can’t be stated in advance; the manufacturer does not publish either the silicone type, a material declaration, or curing time, and the seven stores contradict each other about both weight and the number of gel bags. It’s not for you if you’re looking for a toy you can use the same evening — count on a 24-hour curing time based on the only published information. And it’s not for you if you need to know that the material is latex-free, because the penis ring and the sleeve are only described as rubber.

One more thing belongs in the decision. A casting kit is a consumable item: once the silicone is mixed, there’s no way back, and you can’t undo a purchase that has been opened. If the casting works, you get a unique silicone dildo. If it fails, you have an empty tube—and that is the risk the entire product is about.

Warranty, complaints, and right of withdrawal

Cloneboy provides no manufacturer warranty. The manufacturer’s terms of purchase contain no warranty commitment whatsoever—no years, no conditions, no reference. The only thing that is regulated is the right of return when buying in Cloneboy’s own web store: seven days, a refund excluding shipping costs that the buyer pays, and the requirement that the item is returned unused and in its original packaging in good condition. The company behind the terms is Wonderboys in Amsterdam.

The seven days apply only to Cloneboy’s own web store. If you buy the Cloneboy Personal Dildo from another seller, different rules apply. In the EU and EEA, consumers buying online generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal, starting when the goods are received.

Under EU rules, the seller is liable for defects that exist at delivery and appear within at least 2 years (the legal guarantee). A kit in which the casting powder has clumped in an unopened package, or where the hardener has dried in, is a defect that existed at delivery and is covered—an unsuccessful casting attempt is not.

For distance purchases, consumers in the EU and EEA generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal, starting when the goods are received. The right can be limited for sealed goods that are not suitable for return for health or hygiene reasons once unsealed. The seller is liable for defects that exist at delivery and appear within at least 2 years (the legal guarantee).
