Before I get into the actual review I just want to express that when it comes to 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”, if not damn near perfectly close. Which is quite possibly why I have so few dildo reviews (I promise to work on that).

Sure I have some that aren’t the most “realistic” in look or texture, but they either have something so fantastically interesting about them or fit my body so perfectly that I can’t not like them. With that in mind, when I got my hands on the chocolate colored Vixen Creations Tex dildo I was ecstatic!

The Good

Not only does Tex look and feel realistic, but he’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 also non porous so he 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! Taking all of that into consideration I can’t help but say – Tex is 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 Tex only measures 5″ in total length and 1.75″ in width, I think both a “beginner” or someone more sexually active could take him quite nicely without much fear he’d hit the cervix (which could possibly cause more pain than pleasure), while still being able to enjoy the “fullness” he has to offer. As for the g-spot curve, it isn’t very extreme, just enough to offer slight stimulation while thrusting or squeezing of the kegels.

Since it’s a dildo it doesn’t vibrate, but instead offers the sensation of fullness a real penis gives during either vaginal or anal penetration. It also works rather well in a harness due to it’s flared base making it fantastic for couples that are looking for something realistic to add to their experimentation or 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 Tex very easy to insert, yet still felt soft, supple and extremely comfortable.

Packaging

The product comes very 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? definitely.

Care & 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 Tex 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 – however, for those of you not into the chocolate color, Tex also comes in Vanilla (light flesh color) and Caramel (medium skin tone.

Even though I've received many other dildos to try since I first got Tex I have to say that I still find myself grabbing this one over others. The material is outstanding and feels as close to the 'real thing' as one could imagine. It's comfortable, still looks like new and although it isn't very discreet, it's definitely one of the best 'realistic' dildo's I've ever come across.
