Before I get into the actual review I just want to express that when it comes to realistic dildos I can be rather picky: they can’t be too long or thick (I’m far from a “size queen“), must be made of pure silicone (or another quality, body safe material), can’t be flimsy or low quality, must be easy to insert, comfortable, somewhat flexible, compatible with a harness and have to feel at least slightly like the “real thing” (a term I actually hate), if not damn near perfectly close… even with everything on the market those are fairly hard shoes to fill, especially if you want all of the above.
Thankfully there’s a company that does a pretty fan-fucking-tastic job of it, with the Vixen Creations Tex dildo being just one of many.
Packaging
The product comes nicely packaged in a tubular container that’s easily recyclable, and while there aren’t any images or wording to suggest what it is, the fact that the main part of the container is translucent is pretty much a dead giveaway. Discreet? not really. Professional? sure. Inventive and fun? Hells yeah.
For those wanting a bit more discretion, you could easily peel off the brand/logo/information stickers, place a layer of colored paper inside (which would remedy the see through issue) and use it as storage for Tex, a small bottle of compatible water based lube, toy cleaning wipes and/or some condoms.
The Good
Not only does Tex look and feel ‘real’, it’s body safe, made of quality silicone, easy to care for and clean, doesn’t contain harmful phthalates, is latex free (for those with allergies), is non porous and won’t absorb lube, bacteria or bodily fluids, has a slight curve for g- spot stimulation, resists tearing, warms quickly, retains heat nicely and best of all comes with an unbeatable lifetime warranty! In a nutshell, this dildo is a badass!!
One of the things I specifically liked about the product was the realistic appearance; from the retracted foreskin, slight wrinkling and squishy glans, to the protrusion of the urethra on the underside, it’s what I would consider a penile comparison to the realism of the Fleshlight vagina.
Being that it measures 5″ in total length and 1.75″ in width, I think pretty much anyone could take it without much fear it would hit the cervix. As for the g-spot curve, it isn’t very extreme, just enough to offer slight stimulation while thrusting or squeezing around it.
It also works rather well in a harness due to its flared base, making it fantastic for couples that are looking for something realistic to add to their bedroom play.
Aside from being wonderfully accommodating in regard to size, Tex is flexible, has a super squishy “tip” (think head/glans of the penis), has the texture of skin and maintains a solid internal core. It’s this internal core that (for me anyways) made it very easy to insert, yet still felt soft, supple and extremely comfortable.
On that note, part of what makes it so realistic is the use of their special VixSkin™ material an *”exclusive formula that contains a premium silicone lubricant (just like that used in the most popular silicone lubes), suspended between the molecules, giving a more realistic feel and greater elasticity” . Quite honestly, I’ve yet to feel a product that’s as close to the “real thing” as this!
For those of you not into the chocolate color, Tex also comes in Vanilla (light flesh color) and Caramel (medium skin tone).
Care and Cleaning
In regard to lubricants I would only suggest a good water based one that’s low in glycerin as a silicone lube would very likely ruin it. (Products this fantastic should not be ruined)
Because it’s made of non porous silicone it can be cleaned in a few ways; you can use a premium toy cleaner, mild antibacterial soap & water (making sure to rinse it well), sterilize it by running through the dishwasher or you can boil it for three minutes. Which ever way you choose to clean it, I suggest you let it air dry as it can pick up lint from a towel or cloth rather easily.
The Bad
When it came to things I didn’t like about the product I was at a loss, a very rare treat for me. There is literally nothing I dislike.
Final Verdict
If you’re looking for a realistic, durable and extremely well made dildo, you don’t have to look much further; from his skin like texture to the the comfortable feel, ability to insert anally or vaginally, harness compatibility and superior quality, the Tex dildo by Vixen Creations has everything you need and then some.
