I have had me eye on the Maverick for awhile now, but I have a thing against skin colored dildos... I really don't like them. They never look truly real, and I would rather have a pink toy than a tan one. I was really excited to see Vixen has started making some of the VixSkin toys in the new bright colors and I wasted no time in snapping one up.

Aside from the hot pink color, the VixSkin silicone was my main reason for lusting after Maverick. VixSkin is a more realistic, skin like silicone. Honestly, it feels the closest to the real thing than any toy I have ever felt. Ok, so it doesn't feel exactly like the real thing.... but it's pretty damn close. There are two types of silicone that make up the Maverick; the base and core are a firmer iridescent white and the soft, squishy pink outer silicone that makes up the shaft. The texture is incredible and once it heats up to body temperature, it truly is the closest to the real thing that I have experienced.

Maverick is 6 3/4 inches in total length with a 6 inch insertable length; a diameter of 2 inches and a circumference of 6 inches. These are the perfect measurements for me. Many times realistic dildos that have a 2 inch circumference have a much longer shaft length. I prefer a girthier toy but with a more reasonable insertable length. I also wanted a toy that was harness compatible with no balls (I really dislike balls on a dildo) as well as the above mentioned issue of wanting something in a bright color instead of skin toned. Maverick has all of these things and more. It also has a nice sturdy base that doubles as a suction cup. I don't use a suction cup very often, but the Maverick came with one so I had to test it out. It actually held up pretty well. The tricky part is, when you get a toy this large and it weighs a pound or more, it can be difficult for the suction cup to actually hold up the weight of the toy for any amount of time. I was able to suction the Maverick to a surface and thrust against it and it held up nicely. It lost suction once or twice, but overall it held up alright. If it was suctioned to something and used in a sitting position, I think you would have no trouble as all.

Maverick comes in a clear tube with removable caps at each end. All vixen products are packaged this way and I really love it. It's perfect for storing the product in. I usually never keep packaging for storage purposes, but these simple cylinders are easy to get in and out of, and you can easily see whats inside. Also, it protects your toy from touching other toys that may damage them.

Cleanup is easy. Wash with anti-bacterial soap and warm water, boil it for three minutes or toss it in the dishwasher. Maverick can be used with water based lubes only.

I have honestly really enjoyed this toy. I was so excited to get it, and It didn't disappoint. I have another premium silicone toy in a similar size that is made of a much firmer silicone and I just don't reach for it anymore... I always go for the VixSkin. I think I will be adding a few more VixSkin products to my toybox in the future.

Because of the softness of the VixSkin, It makes me wonder if this product is a bit more delicate than other types of silicone. Maybe, delicate it's the right word, but I think I pay close attention and make sure the soft silicone isn't put up against anything sharp or ridged. I don't *know* if this product is more delicate, it just seems like it would be easier to damage. Vixen Products have a lifetime warranty so with a little TLC this toy should truly last a lifetime.
