OVERVIEW For my second review we have the original Ruff's Stuff, gel toy. This was bought as the second toy in my collection, in a pair with my Kit Fox gel toy. This toy is close to the Kit, in that it has a similar knot size but has more length. All in all I give this toy a good rating because the knot is a good size for beginners, and it has enough length to play readily without a tie.
ORDERING AND SHIPPING Since this was one of the first two toys that I ordered, as a pair the shipping portion will be the same as the Kit Fox review I have done previously. I ordered by mail after contacting Zeta via e-mail. I personally found my reply both quick and helpful. It took less than ten minutes to print and complete my order, which was mailed the following day. Even with the slow mail my order found it's way to the shop in less than four days, when I instantly received an order confirmation e-mail. The next day the order was in the production que, the wait was what I would consider normal about three weeks, at a time when it was posted that there were backlogs because of several large orders. Once I received the order finished notification, the package was shipped the next day, it took about five days to ship. I also want to add that I have always ordered my Zeta toys via snail mail, and I have never had a problem, thanks ZC.
PACKAGING Once again I would like to say that ZC packages their products well, I currently have 16 toys from Zeta alone and I have never had a problem with either the mail or the packaging. Plain postal boxes typically, well sealed with good packing to secure everything, and to keep weight to a minimum.
THE TOY This toy I bought in a pair with the Kit Fox, see previous review, so having practiced with my Fox I had a head start on Ruff. This toy is similar in knot size to the Kit Fox toy and makes a good compliment to it. The knot is easily taken for any who have knotting experience, and is also a good size for beginners. Also the length of Ruff is good enough to make toying good even when knotting doesn't come in to play.
It's shape makes insertion easy even for those new to toys and once inside the knot will hold snugly.
OVERALL I like the toy and think that it is a good compliment to the Kit Fox, and likely to it's larger comrade's. This toy has since been upgraded to a new silicone model,
, and I haven't gotten the new version yet, but I have a few silicone toys and they are very fun. The silicone material is very stretchy and has more give to it than standard gel models. I would also like to add that I have had both Ruff's Stuff, and Kit Fox for many years now and neither have had any tearing or damage at all. I have to admit that the durability of the toys in general use is pretty good. A 10/10 for this guy.
