(Important Note: When I wrote this review, I had not played with it the way that I really wanted. I have now, and I love it. However, I'm leaving the initial review primarily intact because although I love this, I don't think it's an easy toy for all couples. Please read my follow up review for my real feelings on this toy. I think it's fantastic!)

First, I apologize. This is not the review I wanted to write. Have you ever wanted something badly, and then found that it just wasn't right? I wanted the Bandito. Badly. I absolutely love the idea of a dildo attached to a cock ring. That's just hot. I'm immediately seeing visions of double penetration with one person. Instant desire. Yet only days after I received it, my sex life went into major upheaval. Double penetration is often considered an extreme sexual act. When I wrote the initial review I needed to move on, and come back with revisions.

The Bandito is an incredibly cool toy, but it is not a beginner toy. It's 100% silicone, so it's safe and easy to clean. It's one of the safest materials! It's a combination of cock ring and dildo. Not every male is comfortable with a cock ring, and not everybody is interested in anal play (easier to learn). However, I can see some men being uncomfortable with a different aspect of the Bandito. Managing the location of two cocks (one real, one silicone) during sex when one is attached to your cock is bound to be a bit awkward for a number of people. Not for beginners! It's going to require a certain amount of flexibility and playfulness. The Bandito is about the diameter of most cocks and about as rigid. In other words it's stiff, but bouncy.

(Although as I write this I'm wondering how females used to strap-ons could make it work! That might be incredibly hot.)

Jimbo Jones did a review on this. He said the cock ring portion is too small for him. Well, it's not too small for my husband, and I'm going to say that Jimbo is "large" not average! I measured it. The inside diameter is 1 3/4 inches. Then it has a bit of stretch to it. I know that Jimbo used it as a more traditional cock ring0 around both the cock and the balls.

I've played with this alone. As long as you make sure it's clean, you could play with it anywhere. It didn't appeal to me vaginally. I think that makes sense because I think it's meant to be used more as a butt plug while fucking. As a butt toy, it's great. (Have to love silicone then!) It's soft enough not to be uncomfortable, large enough to make a difference. It's long enough that when playing alone, I only wanted the first two beads. That's about four and a half inches.

It feels like it would work great for double penetration. Long, flexible, easily cleaned. One day, I hope that it will.

I finally had the opportunity to play with this the way it was meant to... With a partner. It is a cock ring after all. AAG did a review of this on Jane's and Jimbo has done one as well on Eden. AAG's wasn't in favor of it. Jimbo liked it, but he had some issues. This Bandito is absolutely fabulous and I loved it. My partner, who doesn't usually like toys loved this one as well!

I've played with toys in my ass before, and a couple of times I've played with anal toys while fucking. I always loved it. This was different, and better. This day it started out as a butt plug before it ended up as a cock ring. The Bandito is large, and needs a bit of your favorite lube! In moments, I was on my back being fucked by both a silicone and real cock at the same time thinking that I wanted nothing but more. It was fantastic.

The Bandito is better than a regular butt plug as there was a slight movement of the toy as my partner moved. Unlike several butt toys, there was never any concern about if was staying in place or not. If it didn't, not my concern this time. I was able to relax completely with it.

My partner had the ring around his cock only. It was loose enough to move slightly, but not fall off. It was also easily and quickly removed when he wanted to do move on! The cock ring portion does not function as traditional cock rings, but similar to a harness. I suspect you could wear this with a traditional cock ring at the same time, but that didn't happen for us.

I recommend this toy for all couples that are comfortable with their sexuality, have had some anal experience and willing to explore. All I can say is that I want more, more more of it!
