I’ve had the Dichroic Spiral, or Dichroic Wrapped G-Spot, for almost two years now, and it was one of the first toys I got at Edenfantasys among other goodies. It’s one of my most cherished toys, and I love it. So it was finally due that I would give it its review. Just to be clear I’m reviewing the 1.5” version, since I have the Cobalt blue version of the smaller one.

As you look at this beautiful glass toy, the first thing that you notice is the rainbow colors that are reflected by the dichroic metal inside the wraps. As they are handmade, this pretty effect changes from one toy from another and makes every one of them unique. This toy can stand upright since the base is completely flat, which will give a nice erotic view if there is a partner driving it. The word Phallix can be read at the bottom when the toy is oriented towards the g-spot.

On the product page, the given 1.5” size for the diameter is measured with the wraps and corresponds also to the size of the head. The size of the shaft alone is 1.25” and the entire toy is 7.5” long (in a direct line). It’s not all that large, but the head might feel like it is, as it’s got no give at all.

This is the largest glass beauty of my collection and I appreciate it for the way that the wraps are low and not particularly pronounced. Yes, the toy is large, but the texture won’t hurt or be too much. If you want more details about borosilicate glass, how to care for it and play with temperature, click here. When washing, make sure to pay extra attention to the two lines running along the head and a small hollow area at the very tip.

When playing with this dildo, the head is sure to hit the g-spot and all the wraps will give it a little poke as well. One of the things I also like is to look at the toy when it’s going in and out, and to let the wraps slide over the clitoris when the head is about to get out. Note that since the Phallix toys are handmade, there will be some variations in the curve of the shaft from a toy to another and how the wraps are placed; they ultimately are very similar, and will be as pleasurable.

This dildo is one of the very rare Phallix toys that DOES come with a well-padded velvet pouch, the 7” Pleasure Pouch, probably because it would not fit in their regular plastic case. If you want more details about that storage bag, the review is also available on the site. I got this toy at this sex toy store I trust, and so should you.

I’m not going to hide it, but I really do enjoy glass toys, not just from the pleasure it gives me but I really like their designs – they’re all pretty. Although I could say that there are some toys that have a more artistic touch than others, and one of them is the Fantasy G-Spot 2.

When you look at it, the head looks like a flower from the way that the pink coloring (with 24k gold dust) has been placed all around it. I know I’ve got a lot of things to say about the design, but there are reasons, and it’s not only due to the golden pink details. The Fantasy G-spot 2, made by Xhale Glass, is amazing and when you’ve had the chance to see how clear and pure the shaft is, you’ll understand the level of talent behind this toy. The first picture has been taken without a flash and shows how you will usually see the color with normal lighting. In the second picture, which was taken with a flash, the gold within is particularly enhanced and makes it look more yellow – but it’s still interesting to see.

Another interesting characteristic is that this glass toy can stand upright, which is so cool with glass toys – I really want to have a display case one day with all of them. I’ve said glass before, but it’s more precisely borosilicate glass, and if you want to know more about the material and how to care for it, click here. I know it is trivial, but I like how the base is completely flat, so that when someone can look at the toy when it is inserted, you can see inside the toy. You can’t really see details of the interior anatomy because of the head and the bumps, but it’s still an interesting and erotic view. The base also allows this toy to be anal safe, that is, if you can handle the size of the tip.

Now you must surely wonder how it works, and for starters, I can affirm that the name says it all. The head of this toy is not only large enough (1 ½”) to stay in contact with the g-spot during playtime (as long as it’s in that area), but it has a pronounced angle to guarantee it. As for the nubs, they do add a level of stimulation to the overall experience, but I felt them best when they were at the entrance of the vagina. So with this toy, I used some slight rocking or turning motion to keep the toy in a more shallow position and optimize the g-spot stimulation. Feel free to go deeper, and you’ll be able to enjoy the smoothness of the 1” diameter shaft. So yes, it is a great toy, and I’m really happy to have it in my collection now.

This Fantasy G-Spot 2 also comes wrapped in a well-padded velvet bag (with no other packaging), and you’ll have no reason not to use it for storage. Unless you are really limited in storage space, you will want to protect this precious toy. I got this toy at this sex toy store I trust, and there were other toys available that were similar to this one, like the Two Way Fantasy Deluxe (has a side like the Fantasy G-Spot 2), the Fantasy G-Spot, and the Double Head Fantasy Deluxe.

I had been curious about the Amor for a while, but I had always passed because there was always cooler-looking toys out there that I’d rather have. You can’t blame me, but I’m like a kid when it comes to toys, so I tend to go toward toys with fancy textures and colors. Anyhow, when I was given the opportunity, I decided to give the Amor a try.

The first thing I noticed when I received this toy is that Fun Factory changed the feel of the surface texture. If you had a toy from them before, you know that they have a soft texture, which is not shiny smooth but more like a velvety feel. Well, it’s not something that you can take for granted anymore, and after discussing with Fun Factory about it, as it was not a characteristic that I appreciated all that much, but they told me that there was a specific reason for it: that the texture was designed with short and slow strokes in mind. And it made a lot more sense knowing that.

Considering the smaller size of this toy, insertable for 5” with shaft diameter of 1 3/8”, I can understand that they wanted to make the Amor a better version of what it already was, at least for women who likes drag on their toys. Unfortunately, I’m not that personally fond of drag, but aside from that, this dildo is high quality as it is made of medical grade silicone and has a great firm density with just enough give for some bending and giving it a little squeeze. If you want to know more about the material and caring for it, click here.

You will also need to use a lot of lubricant in order to enjoy this toy (my own advice). The reason why it needs more lubricant is that the texture creates a lot more friction, and in order to have at least a comfortable initial penetration, I recommend applying lube where you want to insert it and not just a few drops on the toy.

Don’t get me wrong, I still have a few good things to say about this toy, and even if it’s not perfect for me, it can be for others. The shape is semi-realistic with a soft head, but note that the bump is on the back side of the shaft, meaning that it is not going to hit the g-spot unless you turn the toy around. In other words, this toy is for people who enjoy non-bumpy toys without having to buy a completely smooth and almost boring-looking toy. You have to admit that the Amor is indeed pretty with its curved shaft and head.

The base, which has three rounded lobes, has also been modified. It now has a completely shiny smooth bottom with slightly curved edges, which works even better than the previous model for creating suction on perfectly smooth surfaces. I remember the first time I tried the suction quality of the older base, and I thought it was good – but no, it was not, especially not after trying better suction bases. This one is surprisingly good, and you need to remove it by lifting an edge of the base or it might not come off. This base also makes this toy harness compatible, and the flatness makes it more comfortable if it rests directly against the skin.

The Amor is also available in pink and Babeland even has a special rainbow version that is simply stunning, which is not available elsewhere, so go get it. It’s not a by-the-book-gay/lesbian-rainbow toy, as it is missing the pinkish violet color, but it’s just as good. Don’t forget to check their other great sex toys at that woman-friendly store. By the way, if you like the shape of the Amor, but you think it might be too short for you, go check the Magnum.

This is the first time ever that I have tried a stone toy, and even if I knew what a hard toy felt, the stone toy Para Jandia from Diamond Lovetoys offered a model that significantly differed from those available in glass toys.

The Para Jandia is medium sized dildo, but it’s not its hardness that will make it feel the 1 ½” diameter too large or too much to handle. It may hard to see, especially at first but the thickness of the four peaks along the 7” shaft slightly increase. To be honest, I didn’t notice all that much during use, but I can say it is a very pleasurable experience. The surface is very sleek and the texture is gentle, with no edges that may feel like it’s too much, but do consider that I really like texture and that it could feel pronounced to some people. This is a toy that is also suitable to stimulate the g-spot enough to squirt, but the base is not flared enough to be considered safe for anal play.

The design with this one is very original and most importantly unique. It’s sometimes hard to come up with words over a new experience, and with the Para Jandia, I could compare it to the escalation setting of a vibrator translated to a dildo. That’s what the peaks and the valleys feel like, as more pressure is gradually applied to the g-spot while still being able to feel the exponential crescendo of pressure, whether used slowly or with more speed. The head of the toy is shaped like an egg, and its roundness is also a stimulating element on its own when starting to play with it.

I do not know about you, but the fact that it is made of stone gives it a touch of kinkiness that is very compelling. I’d never do it with a phallic stone I’d pick up somewhere, because there will still be a risk of getting some nasty scratches and there is no way the surface would feel good enough to make is pleasurable. And then, no matter how often I could wash it, it would always give the impression of not being sanitary. So, this stone toy gives me the occasion of feeling a little bit kinkier while still playing completely safe. If you want to know how to care for a toy made of stone, click here.

The packaging of this toy was minimal, and wasn’t worth more than a few dollars. It comes in a metal box with some padding to keep the toy from hitting the sides, but in itself cannot really be used for storage unless you have a storage bag, which does not come with the Para Jandia.

You can also get this toy at this great sex store I trust.

I’ve been curious about the shape of the Jollet for a while now and I figured it was time that I’d try it. And seriously, I have no regret, this is a very good sex toy, even if it is not perfect.

The dildo is made of pure premium platinum silicone and is surprisingly firm (read about silicone and how to care for it here).You really have to apply strong pressure for the material to give, and you might as well consider it hard. The toy can only be slightly bended at the section with the two nudges above the base. The toy is 7 1/2” long, has 6” of insertable length, but when the first 4” are inserted, it feels like the piece of a puzzle just fit into place.

It’s vaguely realistic, but the toy’s resemblance to a real penis is only limited to the slight presence of a head. The shaft of the Jollet is oblong, and had a major bulge right underneath the head that is awesome for feeling filled and for g-spot stimulation. The base is heavily textured and has indents, almost making it look like a large flower, that provides and excellent grip for playing. However, the “petals” are not that ergonomic or particularly comfortable, so you may have to try several hand positions to find one that works for you.

There is also a two-inch-deep socket at the base of the dildo that is NOT made for a standard-sized bullet, but only a mini-bullet. With how firm the dildo was, I had placed three large drops of water-based lubricant and inserted a regular bullet. It went in, but I could not get it out. I had to use a hair pin to break the suction effect at the bottom of the socket and be able to remove it. Not only did it take a while, but the pressure broke the bullet. Considering that I wanted to try this dildo with the Iconic Bullet… I am not very happy with the end result.

Without being wide all along the length of the shaft, this toy felt just as good as the filling size of the Super, which is large from everywhere. The toy has a circumference of about 7 ½” at the largest point. And the good point is I could use the Jollet without needing more than a very short warm up of a few seconds. It was fun warming up with the toy itself and letting the wide head slide along my clit and labia, which somehow left like a tongue lick, but with a smoother surface. Ideally, I suppose that this toy is best used for solo play, since the specific shape and size of this toy might not be ideal for when a partner is driving it. It hits the g-spot so well that it could hit it too hard if you are not careful.

The package is minimal, and I wish it could include the information about the bullet compatibility. Instead, the package only mentions the company name, the toy name and that it is made of silicone. Still, I like that it is recyclable.

You can get your own at this sex shop I trust.

The Super 7” by Doc Johnson is a toy that I wanted to try because it was larger than any other of my toys and… that it comes in blue. I really couldn’t resist.

The Super is a very large dildo, and definitely not for the faint of heart or pussy. The 7” in its name is related to the insertable length of the shaft. From the tip to the base, the toy is actually 8 1/2” long. The shaft has a diameter of 1 7/8”, but the corona has a circumference of 6”, which is a lot to take in. With the size of the base, 5” by 3”, this toy can be used in an harness and can be considered anal safe, that is if you can manage the size. I personally would not dare.

The super is made of pure platinum silicone, which is a medical grade silicone. Even as pure silicone, it has some good level of squishiness and can easily be bended like a U, which is a great thing considering its size. The surface of the toy has some drag to it, and you can feel a slight grain. This slight grain is uneven and there are some areas, probably due to the mold, where it is more noticeable. You can read about the characteristics and care of silicone here.

The Super is quite realistic without being too realistic. Most of you know that I’m not that fond of too realistic dildos, as long as it comes in a pretty color, and as you can see, my version is of a clear pearlescent blue. The head is quite realistic, with the corona and the frenulum, but all the veins along the shaft are exaggerated and non-realistic. The balls are also lacking texture and are completely smooth. Underneath the base, the silicone is completely flat and glossy, and would not serve as a suction cup.

When it came to trying this huge toy, I knew there was no way I could accommodate that size without warming up with other toys and giving myself an orgasm or two. Even with the preparation, my largest toy has a diameter of 1 3/4” and is still a step away from the full girth of the Super. To be honest, I didn’t think I could manage it at first. But then, I also knew quite well that the vaginal walls are muscles, and they only needed to be stretched gently enough. So with some practice, a lot of water-based lubricant and patience, I finally could insert it. That’s when I found out it was also super good.

At first the head was a little too much against my g-spot and I would press the toy down to relieve the pressure on it. Eventually, I warmed up to the toy and everything was fine, I mean, really good. It’s quite interesting the sensations we get when we push our limits a little bit more. It felt wonderful, and pushing it as far as possible gave me incredible goose bumps of pleasure. I don’t know about you, but I like when a toy gives me that kind of sensation. As for the veins along the shaft, I could feel there was a texture, but only so that it did not feel smooth. I think I do not feel textures very well when it comes on a very large toy.

So, I would definitely not recommend a toy of that size to someone who does not already know they can work their way up to this. But if you can, it’s a magnificent dildo that will appreciate some love. You can get your own at this sex shop I trust.

Ever since I saw a juicer, rotator or spinner toy like the Pink Rotator, I wanted to try one. I had read some reviews, and even if people were not calling it exceptional, the concept was still very interesting and fun. With that in mind, I did not have unrealistic expectations like having a mind- blowing orgasm by rotating this toy. Yet, this toy still managed to give me a good one, but in a different way. 

The Pink Rotator, by SSA Glass, is a glass toy meant to be turned inside the body in order to experience a new type of physical sensation. Depending on the direction of rotation, juices may be actually juiced out of the body. When the handle is turned clockwise, the swirls are drilling inside the body, and are moving outward when turned counter-clockwise. It’s the counter-clockwise motion that makes this toy a juicer, because the swirls will move any liquid out of the body. It can also be used in a thrusting motion and the head of the toy will stimulate the g-spot very effectively. If you want to know about caring for a borosilicate glass toy and how to play with temperature with it, click here.

The whole toy is 5 ¾” long. The head of this toy has a diameter of 1 ½”, but it feels quite large since it’s made of glass. There are indented lines around the head, and while I did not feel them, I suspect that it must still add some subtle stimulation within the vagina. The shaft, without the swirls, has a diameter of 1”, and 1 ¼” with them. Considering that this toy does not have a long insertable section, of about 3 ½”, it cannot be inserted too far or hit the cervix in a painful way, and this can be particularly good if a partner is driving the toy. The small handle at the base helps with turning and for holding the toy for thrusting.

The pink swirls are very pale, and at times, it can be hard to see them if the background is not white and, while it is cute, a darker pink would have been nice. The nubs are also pink, but their color is even fainter than that of the swirls. Since the base is flat and that the body of the glass is clear, you can actually see inside the body like an open window. I had to take a picture to get a look, which I will not be sharing obviously, but I’m sure any partner would be fascinated as well. The only visible imperfection noticeable on mine is at the tip of the rounded end, which looks more like a bunch of bubbles got in the glass.

The flat base is very wide, slightly more than 2”, and makes this toy safe for anal play. I can usually handle a silicone toy of that size anally without warming up, but this one was a little too much for me, especially since the difference in diameter between the neck and the head is pronounced; it was actually a little painful removing it. So for the moment, I’m limiting my experience to vaginal play, which was really satisfying. I was able to feel the swirls move inside me, and I could tell in what direction they were going. Even if the goal is to get the juices out, I actually preferred rotating the toy clockwise, since I could better feel the swirls when they would dig into me. There are a few nubs all around the edge of the base to rub against the labia and ideally the clitoris during the rotation. I could feel them, but they did not provide more than collateral stimulation.

I got an amazing orgasm by thrusting this toy to hit my g-spot while fingering myself, and I have the impression that I would only need a little bit more practice to be able to squirt with it. However, I did not get an orgasm by rotating this toy, but I like experiencing new sensations, and was quite happy with this new toy. As such, I would say that the swirling function of this toy is best used for a one-of-a-kind foreplay activity. I recommend this toy to everyone, but particularly for couples. You could even use it after intercourse, but that would be naughty and messy. 

The Pink Rotator comes within a cloth pouch, the Toy Pouch, which is also wrapped in plastic. While it is not padded, the two layers of cloth are sufficient for protecting the toy during storage. The toy does not come with any instructions, and the only reading material is the information about the materials of the drawstring bag.

You can also get your own Pink Rotator at this sex toy store I trust.

Ok, ladies and gentlemen, I know you’ve all been waiting to get a better look at the mysterious Rippler Silicone Dildo sold exclusively at Good Vibrations, well… there it is in Emerald Green! I  knew the picture on the description was not of a very high quality, but I trusted Good Vibrations to make an accurate description when they said that the color was emerald green, and it is. Just look at that color; it’s so rich and deep. It’s quite honestly the most beautiful color I’ve seen on a   dildo in a while. By the way, I know the pictures look better than on the description, but the most accurate color in my pictures is in the one with the package at the bottom.

The Rippler is a non-vibrating dildo made of pure silicone and if you need any information about that material and how to care for it, click here to read my post on the material. The surface of the toy is quite smooth, and the silicone is very firm, and very similar to the density of a Tantus toy. I’ve tried it vaginally as well as anally, and it performs amazingly well for everything. The ripples along the shaft are pronounced but round and smooth, and with the firmness of the silicone, they really do feel wonderful and hit nicely against my g-spot. The base makes this toy anal safe as well as harness compatible.

The details about its size are also quite accurate on the product page. From tip to bottom, the Rippler Emerald Green is 7 ½” long, with an insertable part of 6 to 6 ½”. It has a realistic head  with a diameter of 1 ½”, and five bumps along the front part of the shaft, which gradually increases from 1 ½” to 1 ¾”. At the widest points, which are the second to the fifth bumps, the toy is about 1 7/8”. At the back of the shaft, the bumps connect together as a V pointing towards the head. It may sound like its large, but the circumference is not a perfect circle at any one point, so it’s not that girthy all around, and it’s quite manageable. At first I really thought it might be too much for me, since my largest toy had a diameter of 1 ¾”, but it was just fine for me to feel full and enjoy the texture completely.

The surface of the toy has some very minor irregularities  if you inspect it carefully, but it does not affect the quality and integrity of the toy at all. Even if the paper slip only had the name of Good Vibrations in the plastic clamshell package, I noticed similarities with another manufacturing that makes me actually suspect that it was poured within Sportsheets’ facilities for the name of Good Vibrations. I know I’ve got no other proof than my sense of observation, but there are not many companies that make great silicone toys, and you get to know them pretty quickly. I only know of a single company that makes such beautiful patterns in the silicone in dildos, which also share the same very round and flat base, with a distinctive notch at the tip. So yeah, I could be wrong, but it does not change the fact that this is a high quality dildo.

This is very definitely one of my favorite toys now, and I’m really satisfied. So, thank you, Good Vibrations, for designing such an amazing product for us!

I like texture and I’ve been trying texture with toys a little larger than I’m used to lately, and one that I was really curious about was the Rascal by Tantus. I already loved the texture on the Purr, which is very similar, but the Rascal is slightly thicker and shorter. However, the ribbing is exactly of the same size, in case you’ve been wondering.

The Rascal is made of pure-premium platinum silicone, a medical-grade material that also shares the same attributes and requires the same care as any toys made of pure silicone. (To read more about pure silicone and care, click here.) It is a stubby ribbed dildo with a smooth well-rounded head, with a slight taper. It is about 4 ½” of insertable length and has a diameter of 1 ¾”. The ribbing only starts at 1 ½” from the tip, so you roughly get 3” of texture. It has a large base that makes it safe for anal play and harness compatible.

The surface of the dildo is very slick and the silicone is very firm with only the tiniest give to it, allowing the ribbing to really slide within the body, and make you feel every one of them. With a socket at the base for a standard bullet, the Rascal has a vibrating option, which is nice, but it’s not a feature I use frequently. Without the bullet, the Rascal’s shaft still feels very hard, and  it’s hard to tell that there is actually a hollow spot. There is only slightly more give in that area, but only when firm pressure is applied.

The ribbing is made of small waves that are close to one another and even if they don’t look that pronounced. The smooth tip also feels nice when you let the toy out to insert it again during play. The change between the smooth part and the ribbing gives more emphasis on the texture. The slightly tapered tip helps with insertion, especially when trying this toy anally, which I did. However, I feel like this type of texture for anal at this size may be too stimulating, and I could only go slowly or carefully. As a general rule, I discovered that I preferred softer textures for anal play, but then it’s me. If you are going to play anally with it, make sure that you sanitize it before going back to vaginal play or use a condom when you do.

There is an advantage and a disadvantage to the shortness of this dildo. The advantage is that if you don’t like to feel pressure at the deepest area of your vagina, then you’ll be happy to know that it does not. However, considering that it’s got a ribbed texture, you are limited to more shallow thrusts in order to really feel it. So, at times, I did wish it was longer, especially since I could not feel the ribbing that well when I would move it in slow motion.

The bullet that came with my Rascal was DOA (Dead On Arrival). Not just the batteries themselves, but the bullet too. I had some issues with a malfunctioning bullet when I got my Buzz 1, so I decided to compare the two bullets and they had the same manufacturing and number inside the cap. As a result, I think they’ve been made a while ago and even if the dildo can last a lifetime, the provided bullet does not. Anyways, it’s a standard sized-bullet, and it can easily be substituted. For the price of the silicone products that come with a bullet, I am sure that we are not paying more than 1 or 2 dollars for the bullet, so… if yours is dead, just get a new one.

I replaced the bullet with one I got with another Tantus toy, my Purr, and put two large drops of water-based lubricant inside the socket at the base of the dildo. With the firmness of the material,  the vibrations of the bullet travelled very well through the dildo. I actually could not see a difference in vibration between the tip and the base of the toy. A vibrating Rascal feel very nice inside, and could gently stimulate the clitoris, but it would not have been enough to get a clitoral orgasm. The vibrations were moderate, but on the low side, and the noise level of the bullet would probably not be heard through a closed door, especially if it’s muffled with bed covers.

At first I thought it was interesting that there was such a wide area around the protruding tip of the bullet when it is inserted, and figured that it would help with removing the bullet. The first time that I placed the bullet in, I had enough lube, and when I squeezed on the dildo’s shaft, it came out like… a bullet. The second time when I inserted the bullet, I did not have enough lube in it, and the bullet stayed stuck. I tried to squeeze the dildo, grab a hold of the bullet, but nothing. The only way I could remove the bullet, and this is where I found where there was a space around the bullet, is to place drops of water-based lube and move the silicone around so that the lube could get within the socket in order to remove it.

All in all, it’s a great toy, and I recommend it to anyone who likes some girth and texture. As for the length, it’s a question of personal choice, but I’m still undecided about really, really liking it, since most of the times, it’s not long enough for me. It came in a plastic bag, where there was some information about the quality of silicone and a mention that it was manufactured 100% green. You can get the Rascal or look at other dildos at this great sex store.

Ever since I heard about the silicone that was made to feel realistic I became really curious and started to look for one that would interest me. There were not many unrealistic ones, since I always look for funky colors and non-realistic shapes. But I knew about a few of them that looked really pretty, and the one that caught my attention the most was the Vixskin Raquel from Vixen Creations, because of that beautiful shimmering pink and pearlescent base. I’ll start with  the breakdown of the Raquel’s specifications, and then I’ll talk in length about how Vixskin feels.

The Raquel is a harness-compatible dildo made of pure silicone that has a soft layer of Vixskin over a much firmer core of silicone again to give the toy a realistic feel. Even with the firm core, Raquel is still a floppy toy that bends easily to pressure. With a length of 7” of smooth shaft with a 1.25” diameter, topped with a rounded 1.5” diameter head, the Raquel is what I call medium-sized. I do not consider myself a size queen and my largest toys have a diameter of 1.75, and I only have two, among which is the Astro Vibe by Vixen. Raquel is nicely filling without stretching and the head gently hits the g-spot during vaginal play. I am satisfied with the size, but women who like smaller toys might feel like a size-queen with this one, and size queens may not get the most fulfilling experience. If the size is right, it’s a great toy to try. Also, if you want to know more about silicone and learn how to take good care of it, click here, and note that Vixskin attracts more lint than any other pure silicone I tried.

The base is really large and is roughly 3” wide all around, which makes it anal safe if you want to use it that way. I did not try it anally yet, but I’m sure the softness of the surface feels just as  good as it does vaginally. It’s different from the pictures on the product description I’ve seen, and it seems like the Raquel was upgraded to have that harness compatibility I mentioned. The base extends a little into the shaft at the base before the Vixskin begins, and is about 1.75” wide, so you may have to take that in consideration when choosing a O-ring. I placed the base of the Raquel against my pubic mound and felt very comfortable. Do take in consideration that I do not have pubic hair and that I really can’t tell if it pulls hair.

The suction cup is created by the fact that the borders are extremely flat and especially shiny and there’s a hole in the middle. It needs a really flat surface to stick to it, but it’s quite efficient when it does. The suction holds when it is dry as well as when there is some lube. At first, I’d just push it down and hope that it would automatically stick, but it would not. I really had to lift a side of the base when pushing it down or, better, by pressing a side on the surface and simply applying let the rest in a gradual motion. It works very, very well, and it may just be my very best new shower friend. Especially with how flexible it is, moving the tip or positioning it for insertion does not really affect the stability of the base, and should not come off the wall easily.

There are several great things about the Raquel, but Vixskin is still the coolest feature. After giving it my first squeeze, I thought it was… tacky and squishy. But I had to try to figure out a better way to express and compare how it felt, because tacky and squishy is so broad that, in the end, it does not really say much. So I came up with another comparison, and it feels like skin moist from a dawning sweat that is not yet visible on the skin. You know, it’s when you feel sweaty sticky? I thought it was a good assessment until I found an even better one after keeping on fondling the Raquel. I eventually came up with a comparison that was perfect and naughty at the same time. It is so naughty that I was instantly turned on by the thought. It feels like wrapping your hand around the hardening shaft of a cock that you have just fucked when the drying juices are still gummy and a little cold. Yeah, well, just like that, but without the actual fluids. That image is seriously hot, at least for me.

When I applied two drops of water-based lubricant silicone and then spread all over the surface of the Vixskin, the tackiness completely disappeared and somehow felt like smooth hydrated skin. Apparently, Vixskin was thirsty for some wetness, and was what it needed to really feel like skin while I was roaming the tips of my fingers gently over the surface. As you can see, I did caress this dildo for at least half an hour –now maybe an hour- before I could finally accept that pure silicone can feel like skin. After much testing, squeezing, stroking, and caressing, I think that the main difference between a real penis and the Vixskin products is that the core does not feel like spongy-tissue and the Vixskin does not slide up and down the shaft like a real penis. But seriously, how could it? However, the squishy softness of the head feels very much like that of a real penis and the feel of the surface, how it drags gently when it slides inside, feel pretty realistic and wonderful to me.

As I inserted the silicone dildo, it would shift gently to the side and get caught somewhere at the entrance of the vagina. I could not help but smile, since it’s what usually happens when I get sexual intercourse, and that brought fond old memories. I only had to reposition it slightly and it would slide in easily, and I had the impression that there was some kind of response delay to my thrusts between the core and the Vixskin, which made it feel even more realistic. Moreover, since silicone warms up quickly to the body’s temperature, it was all in all a quite a sensory experience. Ah yes, since Vixskin is a soft silicone, be careful not to make it come in contact with sharp objects or long nails.

From the beginning of this review, the Raquel stood proudly in front of me, and every time I pondered about what I was going to say next, I’d give it another friendly squeeze, and you know what? After stroking the shaft lovingly, I find myself surprised not to wrap my hand over a realistic penis head. Vixskin might be the only material that has actually made me wonder how great and/or mind-bending this material would look and feel with a realistic shape. Well yes, as long as it still has a funky color. Come on guys, you know me by now.

You can buy the Raquel directly at the online sex toy store at Vixen Creations as well as sex toy stores like Edenfantasys and Good Vibrations. I know it has a higher price tag than regular silicone, but if you are already going to buy a silicone toy, the extra that you’ll put in is ‘Worth Every Inch’. It comes in a plastic tube that I recommend for storage, and with a lifetime warranty.
