Etsy seller 'FreeRangeSilicone' is selling a slightly frightening 'Squildo,' which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a squid-inspired dildo.
A clear standout among typically whimsical products from Etsy, the sex accessory is a novel take on toys. Presumably intended for underwater adventures, the dildo is available in a wide range of colors (including glow-in-the-dark) and a choice of gloss or satin. Coming in at 11 inches, this is a sizable squid that rings in at $138.00. Perhaps an effective decoy and confusing sex toy, the dildo is a hilarious take on phallic accessories.
Though it might be cheaper to go buy a round of calamari, the 'Squildo' is bound to bring buyers more pleasure. Sure to pique the interest of curious Etsy buyers, this is a hilarious take on self-love.
