Bandito - g-spot strap-on dildo discontinued by Fun Factory - review by Ryuson

This dildo is curved deliciously for both vaginal and anal insertion, and is safe for both due to the flared base. While this could be used for clitoral stimulation, it has no vibrations to stimulate the clitoris so it offers nothing special in that realm.

Anally the curve is a good shape for prostate stimulation, and it is thick enough for moderately advanced users to enjoy. The flared base means that this won't become entirely inserted into the anus and cause any embarrassing trips to the emergency room. I would not recommend this as a first anal dildo due to the size.

This is a wonderful dildo for inserting vaginally and is wonderful for g-spot stimulation. It is great for thrusting with and very easy to use. I would also not recommend this as a first dildo in general due to the slightly larger girth and the price range.

If you are looking for something to use with a strap on but have tried other toys before, I would highly recommend this. While it does not look very realistic, it feels fantastic and realistic inserted. This would be a great addition to any collection, for couples or solo use. The slight flexibility also means that it would be difficult to bruise yourself internally with this one.

This passes Ryu's dorm approval with flying colors! While it is a bit big to smuggle into the showers, it is easy to wrap in a towel no matter. It has no noise level to speak of (sans YOUR noise level).

The entirety of this toy is made out of either lilac or dark black silicone. The one I got was lilac and is a very nice, but slightly feminine, color. The entire thing is not very plush when you squeeze it, but has a bit of flex to it, especially towards the upper half of the toy. the base has a bit of give but should also not prove to be too flimsy for harness use.

There was no taste or scent to this toy out of the box, and it has retained none during use. The raised areas of the toy are shiny, but the depressions are more matte and have a bit more drag. The upper areas' slickness somehow overpowers the depressed areas drag to make this useable without lube. Lube does make initial insertion easier, and I would definitely still recommend it if you are using this dildo for anal play. Silicone is rated a 10 out of 10 on the Eden safety scale because it is not porous at all and can be boiled or even run through the dishwasher.

Again, while this doesn't look realistic, it is one of the more realistic feeling toys that I have personally used. If you are looking for something that can pass absolutely for a real penis you may want to seek out something dual density (vixskin, possibly) but it is easy to imagine that this is a real person during solo sessions.

The flexibility and ease of use make this awesome for both beginners and advanced users. If you have found that you need very firm pressure on your g-spot or prostate you may find the flexibility annoying, but most people shouldn't have much trouble getting this to hit the spot.

The design of this toy is what really caught my eye. The whimsical color and swirls made it not terribly realistic, but the shape seemed awesome and along the lines of what worked for my body. After I convinced my boyfriend and purchased it, I was incredibly impressed with how well my intuition led me to an awesome toy.

The bulbed tip it wonderful for g-spotting. I don't personally need a curve at all and have a very easy to please g-spot, but those who need a slight to moderate curve in order to reach their g-spot should have no trouble with this. If you need a very firm, prominent curve you may need to look elsewhere, but it would be a pretty safe bet that this would match most womens anatomy.

Originally I was a bit concerned about the girth of this toy. With a circumference of 4.5, I have trouble inserting my Rondo by Close 2 You of the same girth due to how much drag the silicone has. Fortunately the smoothness of the silicone allows for it to feel filling but thrusting is very easy and there is little resistance. It is a full 6.5 inches long with 5.5 of that being insertable, making it about the same size as the average penis.

While I wouldn't recommend this to people that like to feel 'stretched' or size queens, I would highly recommend this to everyone else. It's not very discreet, but it's not obvious that it is a sex toy. If you leave it sitting on your desk it will attract attention and have people asking you about it, but only because it looks very artistic and pretty. It would be good to travel with and it will not set off any metal detectors, but it is a bit of a lint magnet.

The reason that I got this toy, other than the awesome design and g-spot curve, was the functionality of the flat base. I personally really liked having the option of standing it up on a pillow or chair and... Well, you get the picture. The flat base allows for a more 'realistic' riding experience, especially if your arm easily gets tired of thrusting.

The base of this toy, while not obvious about it, also acts as a suction cup. While this isn't as affective on uneven materials such as pocked linoleum, grainy wood, or leather, it is very strong on flat, hard surfaces like hardwood, granite countertops, bathtub ledges, headboards, and tiled walls. This means that you can get creative about how and when you use this dildo.

The flat base also means that this dildo is o-ring compatible. If you have an o-ring harness that takes 4.5 inch (ish) toys, this should be able to be used with it. All harnesses will be different, but this seems like it would be very easy to use and several other reviewers have mentioned that they enjoy using this in a harness. The base is stable, but not extremely thick, so you may want to take this into consideration. It also is moderately heavy, so depending on the type of harness you prefer to use it may droop a bit and pull the material away from your body.

Other than looking pretty, you really have to take things into your own hands with this dildo as opposed to a vibrator. I personally don't mind, especially because of how great it is at being a wonderful toy, but if you need vibrations, rotations, or prefer a rabbit that will thrust for you, you may be unhappy with the Bandito.

The Bandito is very easy to care for, but does tend to attract lint. Unlike Vixskin, this can be laid on it's side and will not retain any dents from pressure being put on it, but you should store it away from other silicone toys. Sometimes silicone can react with other silicone and warp the two toys, leaving all parties involved very unhappy. For a similar reason you should not use silicone lube on any silicone toys.

I keep mine in a cool, dark place with the rest of my toys. I would recommend washing this before and after use. I use an antibacterial toy cleaner to wash it, but soap and water or a toy wipe work well also. Since this toy is silicone and does not contain a motor you can also boil it to sanitize it, wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution to disinfect it, or you can even toss it into a dishwasher.

This came in a box similar to the Fun Factory vibrators I have. It is small and gray, and has windows that open and display information about the toy, as well as clear walls so that you can view the toy itself. The box really doesn't do the toy justice, but it does keep it safe and contain a lot of information about the toy.

I don't store my Bandito in this for several reasons. The first reason is that it is larger than the toy itself and takes up a lot of extra room. The second reason is that it is noisy and difficult to open, meaning that you can't just grab it and sneak out of the room like I need to do in college. The third reason is that I use this toy so often that I like to have it right on hand when I need it.

While it isn't great for storage, it is very classy and would make a great box to keep it in, wrap, and give as a gift. There are no naked women or dirty words on it, but it also is pretty straightforward about what it is.

While I try to be objective in the body of my reviews, I found it very hard not to start raving about this toy while I was typing all of this out. I saw this toy on the site and something about it just said "buuuy meeee." I looked at it over again, and couldn't understand why; I was never very thrilled with dildos, if I got one at this price I should get something dual-density, I don't own a harness or know where I would ever stick the suction cup.

Tossing all caution to the wind, I convinced my boyfriend to let me try it. For once my intuition was right on the dot! This toy fits my anatomy amazingly! The curve hits my fairly shallow g-spot phenomenally and I can't get over how easy this is to fantasize with. This has led me to become more interested in dildos, but at the same time has led me to feel a sort of satisfaction. Unlike vibrators, this could possibly never break on me. The silicone will always stay sanitary, the motor will never start to wear down, it takes no batteries... This has converted me to the dark, sexy, nonmechanical side of sex toys.

The Bandito beckons me, "Come to the dark side, we have more fun."
