Silky - strap-on dildo by Vibratex - review by Tuesday

Silky is a good choice for those who want a medium sized toy with a bit of texture. This dildo can be shaped to the curve that pleases you. Whether you prefer a straight or highly curved dildo, Silky can meet that need.

Silky is safe for both vaginal or anal, or as the instructions refer to it, "alternative" use.

Silky is an elastomer dildo. Although the veins on its surface provide a bit of textural stimulation, it is soft and squishy. No one will be bothered by its texture, even those who don't like texture. Silky's material is not so soft however to prevent you from feeling the veins. You will indeed feel them.

When silky arrived it looked like it was covered with a fine white powder. I tried to wash this off, but there actually is no powder. That is just a feature of Silky's surface.

On its underside, right under its head, a small happy face is inscribed.



Silky is completely unscented.

Silky is a modestly sized toy. The shaft is 5 inches in circumference at the widest point, tapering to 4 1/2 inches right before the head.. Its head is pronouncedly larger than the top of the shaft though, measuring at 5 inches in circumference. The packaging states that it was rated "best size" by Vibratex's happy customers.



It has a thick base which is also composed of the same soft elastomer material. If the base isn't too thick for your particular harness, it should feel quite comfortable in one.

Running through its center is a thick wire. The wire appears to be about 3/16ths of an inch in diameter. The wire connects to a metal plate in Silky's base, allowing it to hold a bend along nearly its entire length. Only the tip of the head is unwired. Silky is easy to bend and stays in place well once bent.

Silky feels quite good for a dildo this size. My first session with it was remarkable. Each time after that hasn't been as notable. I'm not sure why. Lately I've found myself wishing for a firmer toy when I use it.

I've experimented with bending it into different positions. It feels terrible to me when there is much of a bend in Silky, so I've never left it bent for very long. It did not lose its bend during my tests however.

The thick base makes a nice handle to grip during use. The base has a seam running around it which is at the same level where the plate attaches. One small section of that seam is starting to open. Its just a small opening right now. I can't say whether it will continue to open further with use.

Elastomer is a somewhat porous material so be sure to use a condom when sharing this toy with others or when using it in more than one orifice.

To clean it, simply wash it with soap and water and towel or air dry.

The instructions caution not to store Silky alongside vinyl toys. I plan to store it in the plastic bag that came with it.

Any lube is safe to use with this product.
