Goodfella - realistic dildo by Vixen Creations, Inc - review by GenderSexplorations

This toy works as a manual stimulation dildo or in a harness. This toy is good for gender play and transgender individuals due to its realistic look, and the fact that the balls sit in front of the harness. Due to the rather odd shape of the base, I believe it is easiest to use this toy with a harness such as the Joque harness by SpareParts HardWear (also available as the Joque harness large)where the o-ring is stretchy.

This toy can be used vaginally or anally, however it will likely be too large for beginners to anal play and is probably better for those more intermediate or advanced. This toy is nice and squishy and therefore will not cause worries about bruising. Additionally the balls and flared base make this toy ideal for anal play as it would be very difficult to lose this toy.

The Goodfella is made of Vixen Creations' VixSkin material. VixSkin is interesting in that it has a semi-realistic feel while still being body-safe and hygienic like silicone. It has no noticeable taste or smell thanks to the material. This toy is a relatively realistic toy and definitely feels the most realistic out of any toy material that I have come into contact with. It is rather squishy, yet not overly so. This makes it good for beginners or advanced users.

I absolutely love the design of the Goodfella! The balls sitting in front of the harness is great for transgender individuals such as myself (or even those simply interested in gender play) as it helps give the wearer the sensation of having a realistic penis to work with. Not to mention it gives the receiver the sensation of having a cock with balls penetrating them.

It is squishy without being overly so, however it could perhaps be a bit less flexible as it has a tendency to want to simply bend when you're trying to insert it. This can be very frustrating. In terms of size, the Goodfella is of a moderately large size at 1.75" in diameter and 5.5" insertable length. This is good for vaginal or intermediate to advanced anal use. It's also worth noting that because of the squish-factor, this toy is easier to handle than other toys of similar size.

As for whether or not the Goodfella is discreet? This is a cock. It looks like a cock. It even relatively feels like a cock. Therefore it is definitely NOT discreet, nor is it meant to be.

The feel and texture of this toy is simultaneously the best and worst thing about it. Due to the squishy feeling, it feels more realistic. However, this also means it cannot provide as firm of a stimulation as a harder toy. This toy is harness compatible but it takes a bit of effort to get the base into the o-ring due to its odd shape and the fact that you have to slip the base itself into the o-ring instead of just sliding the toy through the o-ring. Again, this is most easily accomplished with a stretchy o-ring such as that of the Joque harness. But once it's settled nicely into the harness, it stays perfectly where you put it.

VixSkin is much like standard silicone in that it is very easy to care for, is nonporous, and can be sterilized. To wash it, wash with antibacterial soap and water or any standard toy cleaner. To sterilize, wipe this toy down with a 10% bleach solution, put it in the top rack of the dishwasher, or boil it for a few minutes.

Use only water-based lubes with VixSkin toys. Silicone-based lubes will degrade your toy. And with the price of VixSkin, I doubt anyone wants that. As for storage, the clear plastic box that it comes in is the perfect storage method as it helps the toy to retain its shape and keeps it lint-free.

The Goodfella is packaged in a clear plastic box with the VixSkin logo on the front. On the back, there is the Vixen Creations logo as well as some basic information about the company. This box is perfect for storage as it keeps the toy well-shaped and lint-free. I do not believe this would make a good gift box as the toy is clearly visible through the box. There are no instructions, but how much instruction does a realistic dildo really need? Not much, I'd think.
