S5S5 or double-ess-five is a non-convex regular faced polyhedron. It can be formed as an outer-blend of two pentagonal antiprisms.

The prize substitute is the member of the cult of the double-ess-five with the fewest faces.

The relative positioning of its pentagonal faces makes S5S5 useful for tunnelling Stewart toroids. In many cases S5S5 can be substituted for another polyhedron with the same configuration of pentagonal faces.
