You're (almost) perfect, Leo.

At just the right size and coming in many color options, Leo is a sweet addition to anyone's toy box. His gentle curve is amazing for both anal and vaginal use, and his girth is wonderful for the intermediate user. I'm glad I picked up Leo, but I'm also glad that I bought him on sale. He may be perfect for many, but Leo and me just aren't a match made in the stars.

Use

When I first saw the cute Halloween-themed Leo advertized on Eden, I decided I must have it before the design was discontinued. Vixen Creation's Leo dildo is perfect for anal or vaginal use; he's a great size, and his flared head and curved shaft are sure to stimulate almost anyone's P/G-spots. The Leo is a good intermediate size and is well-suited for anal and harness play due to a large O-ring compatible base. This toy, if taken care of and cleaned properly, can be safely used for both anal and vaginal use or among different people. His shaft is subtly different in one way that I've unfortunately found I'm not a fan of, but I'll get into that in more detail later on!

Overall, the Leo is a very nicely proportioned, well-made dildo. This toy is more than capable of pleasing nearly anyone, anywhere. With a great mixture of light-hearted and fun color choices and simple yet effective toy design, the Leo is a winner, but not exactly the best in my book.

Material / Texture

Vixen's silicone blend for Leo seems to be a little firmer than most other company's silicone toys, but is still able to be bent around and squeezed without much effort. Right out of the box (or tube, as it were), this bright orange cock gives off almost no odor. It's a subtle, inoffensive smell of higher-quality silicone; very refreshing compared to many toys made of cheaper materials that smell like old car tires! For the sake of this review I have tasted this toy: Leo doesn't taste like much, and leaves a slight filmy-feeling sensation of my tongue for a few seconds afterward. There are probably better things around for oral play.

There is a some drag if I run my fingers across Leo's shaft without any lube, but just a little bit of water-based lube will quickly fix that problem. Using thicker formulas, Leo seems to do fine on relatively little lube compared to other toys his size. Prior to purchasing this toy, I assumed texture was not very important to me. Unfortunately, I discovered my pleasure is more dependent on textures than I had thought.

Despite his rather plain design, the textured ridges and head of this toy manage to be very stimulating. I wish the toy had some more pronounced texture along the shaft, since the light veining can barely be seen, let alone felt. This guy isn't really supposed to feel life-like, but the almost complete smoothness does detract from the experience a bit for me. The texture of the toy as a whole is pretty beginner-friendly, but his size may be intimidating for new users.

Design / Shape / Size

Leo's design is, in a word, understated. Har har, but I'm talking about the form here, not the colors! He doesn't look very deluxe and that's because he's not. Leo is a dildo with a simple and effective design. The gentle curve, paired with the rather firm and flared head, wonderfully massages my p-spot and is sure to please others vaginally just as well. The Leo has a semi-realistic look, with just a touch of whimsy added by a slightly exaggerated and more heavily textured retracted foreskin. As mentioned above, he also has some light veining which is the same color as the rest of the toy. Because of this, I would not consider this toy travel-friendly unless you trust whoever may be opening your bags.

The only disappointment I had with the design itself was that my particular dildo arrived with several small "dimples" in the silicone running down the shaft and along the head of Leo. They're all very shallow and maybe the size of a pinprick. After giving it a good once-over, I would say there are about fifteen in total. Disappointing? Yeah. Worth returning the toy over? I don't think so. These are minor imperfections and not detrimental at all to the overall safety or pleasure this toy can give.

Now, as for the size, I think the Leo is fantastic. He is 5.25" in circumference and 7" insertable; a lovely, larger-than-average size without crossing the boundary into size king/queen territory. My only regret regarding his size is how his shaft is designed. This may seem like nitpicking, but I prefer toys that try for a more realistic design to have either cylindrical or broader shafts. The Leo is interesting in that its shaft is actually "taller" than it is wide, so the size will be stretching you up-down instead of left-right. This may not be a problem for some, but I find it more pleasurable to use toys with broader shafts.

On the other hand, the Leo's appearance is, in a word, showy! I opted for the orange version with the bats, or as the sticker on the bottom of the toy's container calls it, the "Leoweenie." The bats seem to have been designed onto the toy on a deeper layer, then coated in another smooth layer of orange silicone. I'll have to disagree with some other reviewers stating the bats are separate pieces embedded into the toy since the bats that appear closer to Leo's surface cannot ever be felt, even when pressing firmly into the place. The color and design is really adorable and works well to offset an otherwise fairly realistically-designed toy. The non-flesh tone choices for the Leo are an excellent way to get the "best of both worlds" as far as looks go.

Performance

The best part of having Leo in me is definitely his flared head. The rest of the shaft slides pretty easily in and out of me due to the shaft's smoothness, but the ridge of his head rubs me in all the right ways. His head can firmly press into my prostate and almost put me into a pleasure-fueled trance. I can feel the ridges beneath his head somewhat once he's inside me, but I get the feeling that particular feature is more suitable for female-bodied people in search for g-spot orgasms.

The Leo's base is rather thick, but still very flexible. The base is O-ring compatible, and additionally can be used as a surprisingly powerful suction cup. I have literally had Leo suctioned to my wall for the entire course of writing this review, and he's still yet to lose grip. Because of his strong suctioning ability, this toy is a wonderful candidate for hands-free play and shower sessions.

For anal use, this toy can be taken entirely by more advanced users whose bodies allow for such deep penetration. He feels reasonably filling once inside and very life-like as far as stretching is concerned compared to most guys. I would recommend using a smaller toy or two -- or at least some fingers -- to warm up before taking Leo anally. The head tends to pop right in after some slow pressing, which could be a little shocking for some users. As always, use a water-based lube liberally, and remember it's better to use too much than too little! Leo is quickly becoming one of my go-tos if I'm wanting something very satisfying but still realistically sized.

Care and Maintenance

Vixen's Leo is made from 100% silicone, one of the safest materials available for sex toys. Its safety rating on Eden Fantasys scores a full 10/10, and for good reason! Leo is super easy to take care of. You can sterilize this dildo by placing him in boiling water for about 3 minutes or placing him on the top rack of the dishwasher (no detergent). For regular cleaning, mild antibacterial soap and warm/hot water will work perfectly. Using your hands with soap and warm water I've found is the easiest way to thoroughly clean this toy. After washing, simply rinse your toy off, pat him dry with a lint-free towel, and place him back into his original tube for storage.

If you plan on switching orifices or people, either sterilize your toy before swapping or securely place a condom over him prior to each use. Only use water-based lubricants with Leo; any water-based lube of your choice should be fine!

Packaging

My "Leoweenie" came packaged in a reusable, storage-friendly, plastic tube with a removable, black cap. On the tube is a sticker congratulating you on your purchase, telling you about their lifetime warranty (with receipt), and giving a few helpful tips on how to care for your new acquisition. The tube is clear, so it's definitely not discreet or particularly luxurious. What it is, however, is very useful and durable. It's simple, practical, and effective, just like the toy it holds inside.

Follow-up commentary
This dildo is still a fabulous addition to my toy box. Suctioning him onto a smooth wall and pressing myself back onto him has become a favorite position of mine during play time. I discovered that the small pockmarks I mentioned in the original review are indeed tiny imperfections that occurred after this toy was made. How these formed: Tiny air bubbles in the still-liquid silicone cast popped at the surface when the dildo was still cooling down. I decided not to return the toy, since these little imperfections do not affect the safety or usability of this toy at all. Since Leo is 100% silicone, the fact that there are barely noticeable surface-level marks makes no difference, hygienically speaking.

Despite the overly-smooth feeling of his shaft once it is inserted, Leo has definitely earned his place among my favorite toys in the collection.

    Good review, thanks. I have to say I'm a bit concerned that those imperfections on the dildo could be breaks in the non-porous surface & therefore, may be capable of harboring microbes. I'd contact Vixen to be sure.

    great review.
  • Contributor: Llewey
    @Wicked: Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. They're more indents than tears, so I don't think the surface is compromised. As a said in the review, they're also very shallow, and not noticeable unless I'm looking for them. I'll send an email just to be safe though.

    As long as you boil, dishwasher-ify, or soak in 10% bleach to sterilize, even a few little surface blemishes like you mention won't cause a problem.

    Great review! This color is so awesome, I almost wanted one just for that when I saw it...even though I know it's just too big and hard for me.
