For those who enjoy life-like vibrators, it doesn't get much more realistic than this. The Cyberskin cock by Topco is designed to give a fairly believable sexual experience from its soft spongy head right down to the malleable balls, and can be used both vaginally and anally. Beginners may find the girth to be a bit much to handle, particularly if you're going for anal play, but with a little patience and practice it isn't too much to take.

The toy comes with 1oz. bottle of water-based lubricant and 1oz. of Cyberskin Renew powder to help you take care of it.

Cyberskin is made from ingredients found on the FDA approved list and contains no phthalates, no PVC, and no latex. You can detect a light rubbery/powdery smell if you hold it right up to your face, but it's nothing unpleasant.

It's a remarkable material that does a very good job at mimicking the flexible cushiony feel of human skin, with enough "give" while in use to make it comfortable even for those who might not normally opt for a toy of this size. It warms up quickly to your body heat, but it's even better if you soak the shaft for a few minutes before use in warm water to give it an even more realistic feel.

The surface texture is somewhat sticky, so this toy is a serious magnet for any lint, hair, or whatever else may be around. It isn't as bad as a jelly toy in this respect, but you still have to be careful of where you lay it down. Additionally, fingernails or any other semi-sharp object can tear the material, so this isn't a toy that you can toss just anywhere.

Cyberskin is also very porous, and impossible to sterilize, so it's easy for germs to collect in the pores no matter how well you clean it. Thus it's a good idea to cover it with a condom.

There are some toys that need vibrations to feel good and some that don't, and the Cyberskin cock certainly does not, so even if the vibrating unit ever goes out it would still serve as a very pleasurable dildo. The generous 1-5/8" width combined with the hefty weight of the toy gives a terrific "full" feeling that most anyone could appreciate.

Every detail of this toy adds to the realism, from the gentle bulges and contours to the subtle veins that blend well into the shaft. Even the ball sack is lightly wrinkled! You can't really feel these surface variations all that much when you're using the toy, but it's fascinating all the same and would make for some very real-to-life blowjob practice.

The 6" usable length has a firmer inner core to add rigidity for penetration, but this still is not a hard toy by any means. If you hold it by the balls with the cock facing outward, the shaft dangles down slightly like a semi-erect penis. Vaginal penetration is easy, but it does take a little bit of work to insert this toy anally because of its softness.

The balls are useful as a handle when thrusting, and you can change the angle of penetration easily simply by adjusting your grip. And because they too are firm but cushiony, it isn't difficult to maintain your grip even if lube gets on them.

With an overall length of 8", not including the cord and control box, combined with its realistic look, this is not a subtle toy nor is it an easy toy to hide.

The Cyberskin cock is attached by a 27" long cord to a small handheld control pack that fits neatly in the hand so you can work the control with just your thumb. Powered by two AA batteries (not included), the controller has a single slider switch that lets you adjust the vibrations from low to medium-high intensity.

The vibrating bullet is encased in the Cyberskin cock up near the head, with the cord running directly down through the middle of the shaft and out the bottom of the balls. If you tug sideways too much on the cord it will split the Cyberskin around it, but it doesn't render the toy un-usable or anything if that happens.

The vibrations don't seem to travel through the material all that well, so they are mostly felt in the head of the toy, diminishing down the shaft until very little can be felt at the base and on the balls no matter what speed it's on. The lowest speed is like a gentle massage, similar to a cell phone's vibrations, while the highest speed is more of a medium intensity that can be felt very easily anywhere on the body but may not satisfy the true power-hungry users.

One of the very impressive things about this toy is that it's virtually silent when in use. Even at its highest speed all you can hear is a low hum that might not even be audible through a blanket.

Also notable is the lube that comes with this toy, which is called "Climax H2O". It's clear with a lightweight gel consistency that doesn't run at all, and it lasts for a very long time before it begins to dry up. Water does reactivate it, and it only becomes mildly sticky when it dries. There's no funky smell, and no urgent feeling of needing to wash it off afterward either, but when you decide to just a quick rinse with water does the trick. On the downside, this lube does contain both glycerin and parabens, so people who are sensitive to those ingredients will want to skip it and use something else.

Cyberskin requires more care than most other toy materials do to keep it at its best. Wash it before and after use with antibacterial soap and water, and then pat dry with a lint-free cloth. When it's totally dry, sprinkle the surface with the Renew powder and then store it in a plastic bag with a little more of the powder inside. The powdering isn't absolutely crucial to the care and maintenance of the toy, but without it the surface becomes sticky enough to be unpleasant.

Additionally, always keep Cyberskin in a cool location away from other toys to avoid material reactions, and use only water-based lubricants with it.

The Cyberskin Cock comes in a thin cardboard package with a cutout on the front and one side so you can see the toy. On three sides of the box there is a scantily-clad model, and plenty of information about the toy's features and the Cyberskin material. Oh, and that's another neat thing; there is a small cutout in the front of the box from which a pair of mini Cyberskin lips protrude so that people viewing the toy in a brick-and-mortar store can sample the feel of the material. Not sure what other use the lips might have, but surely someone could get some mileage out of them as a joke item at a frat party or something.
The toy, lube, powder, and Cyberskin lips all rest in a thin clear plastic slide-out container inside. There is no instruction manual, but the usage of the toy and control pack both are pretty self-explanatory.

The special "Renew" powder that comes with this toy contains only one ingredient--- corn starch. So when it runs out you don't have to worry about hunting down some special replacement powder; simply go to your local drug store and buy corn starch.

Michele says:
I'm not generally a fan of the Cyberskin material due to how porous it is (I'm paranoid about germs), but once it occurred to me that if I were really going to "get some strange" I'd make them wear a condom, it actually added to the experience to use one with this. We warmed the toy up with a hot water soak ahead of time, and it really was fairly realistic without the vibrations. Note that we did this by propping it up by its balls on the edge of the sink so the shaft dangled down in the water though, because this is not considered a waterproof toy. Anyway, during use I liked the way the surface conformed to my body, and the fact that the vibes were gentle enough not to irritate anything.

My one complaint is that having the cord makes it difficult to store this toy "in a plastic bag with a small amount of Renew powder" like the manufacturer suggests. I wasn't big on the idea of dropping the control pack down in the powdery bag with the toy, so the best thing we could come up with was to use a Ziploc bag and leave a corner open so the controller and most of the cord could hang out, then sort of roll the bag and wrap the cord around it. Not the most convenient way to store something.

Alan says:
This toy is far to big to fit in my orifice, but I enjoyed using it with Michele once I got over the oddity of grabbing a set of fake balls to do so. She's always been fascinated by my Fleshlights, so it was good to get a toy for her that had basically the same skin-like feel with just some added stiffness, and I didn't have to worry about hurting her with it because of the way it cushioned. One thing I can comment on directly was the lube that came with it though. She can't use it because of the parabens, but for me that stuff is great. It's not like I've tried hundreds of lubes or anything, but so far this one has a staying power that's better than the others, and almost as good as what I've found in silicone based lubricants.
