Oh Raquel, You Make Me Blush

The VixSkin material of the Raquel makes it a must-have in any dildo-user's collection. It feels amazing and is just as easy to clean as rigid silicone. It's designed for optimal harness use and is safe for anal play as well.

Use

This silicone dildo can be used however you want it: vaginally, anally, and even orally. Just be aware that it is a little thicker than the average dildo so lube up responsibly. And with the slight curve and bulbous head, it works great for G- and P-spot stimulation.

It's even completely sterilizable so feel free to share with partners. Use it manually by yourself or in a harness with a partner or anything in between. The flared base makes it possible to fit into any O-ring harness and I have to say that the base is nicely wide and sturdy to hold it in place. Unfortunately, there is no hole in the base for a bullet or suction cup attachment.

Material / Texture

The silicone is amazing! What more could I really say? It's high-grade silicone, which makes it easy to sterilize, completely non-porous, and body safe. But it's also Vixen Creations's new "VixSkin" which is incredibly softer and squishier than standard, rigid silicone. It's made to feel very lifelike while not sacrificing the quality of material.

There was a slight smell to it after I first opened the packaging but a quick wash took care of that easily. And the material is definitely, well, sticky. There's a drag to it that makes it almost literally stick to things. So be warned that you'll be washing this before AND after use as well as storing it in some type of airtight container to keep air, dust, and lint from completely covering it.

The squishy texture to the VixSkin made insertion of this rather girthy toy a bit easier. So that alone could qualify it for beginners as long as everyone is safe about penetration (i.e. when it doubt, use more lube). And the feeling of the plushy silicone inside is filling yet soft, which for me increased the pleasure when thrusting it.

Design / Shape / Size

The design of the dildo is amazing. I do wish it came in other colors though just to give more options other than pink. But the large, rounded (and squishy) head was amazing for G-spot stimulation and safe for thrusting. As well as the slight curve to the shaft which molded better to my body's natural positioning.

Yes, this dildo is a bit on the thick side at 5-inch circumference (1 and 5/8 inch diameter) but the softness of the material really eased the size into place and I feel it could work well for the average user.

As I said before, I'm also impressed with the rigid and sturdy base making it excellent for harness use.

Performance

What's the best about this toy? The material! And boy does it feel great inside. It's an amazing step up from the rigid silicone dildos.

One caution some beginning users might want to take note of is that the bulbous head of the dildo, while great for G- and P-spot stimulation, can also be a bit uncomfortable at the opening of any orifice. It did take a few moments for me to relax around it when inserted vaginally so I'm not sure how much more intense that head-to-shaft size dip would be for the anal sphincter. But, again, be safe and use lube (water-based only, please).

Care and Maintenance

If you need more reason to love silicone, how about the maintenance? It can be completely sterilized by boiling for three minutes! Or just use hand soap and water or a toy cleaner to quickly wash it up after use and store it away. Just make sure to seal it nicely to prevent picking up any lint or hair between uses.

Also, there is nothing wrong with getting quality silicone wet, so feel free to use it in the shower or tub as well. Just make sure not to use silicone lubricant because it will interact and degrade the toy. With minimal proper care, silicone toys can really last a lifetime.
    • Easy to clean

Packaging

The toy comes in the standard Vixen Creations plastic tube, which is excellent for storage. There is even plenty of extra room in there with the Raquel to throw some condoms or a small thing of lubricant in there with it for traveling. But it is completely transparent so there's nothing discreet about it if you were to carry it outside of luggage.
    • Good for storage
    • Minimal
Follow-up commentary
This material may get sticky and need extra cleaning to keep it lint-free but it still feels amazing! The only thing that would have made this dildo better is a hole in the bottom for either a vibrating bullet or my (brand new) suction cup! And yeah, I still wish it came in other colors but that's no where near important enough for me not to love this dildo!
