Woody - dildo discontinued by Vixen Creations, Inc - review by Rawhide

You never forget your first cock, and Woody was mine.

I picked up the black, non-vibrating version, which is still available on the Vixen Creation's website. He came in Vixen's standard packaging for cocks without balls, a tube with plastic caps at each end. It would have been fantastic for storage had I had the forsight to keep it. The tube is clear so it's not exactly discreet if that is a concern.

Aside from the solid black color, he has lots of realistic details including a flared head and a wrinkled "pushed back" foreskin. That is it for texture since the shaft is totally smooth. The finish is glossy (though it gets less so with use) and with a bit of water-based lube (no silicone!) it has very little drag.

Woody is 7" in total length (6.5" insertable) with a 1.5" diameter. This size makes for a great "Goldylocks" cock for many users- not to big, not to small, juuuust right. The composition of the silicone is firm throughout, much firmer than a flesh erection, so Woody feels very true-to-size and is great for providing intense stimulation. The pronounced head feels great on the g-spot. The length is good for quick thrusting without falling out. I find that he is a great compromise for partners who love the firmness of non-harness-compatible glass and steel toys and the hard pounding of strap-on sex.

However, Woody can be difficult to use in some positions because the combination of firm silicone and average length (compared to some of Vixen's other firm silicone options, namely Leo) means that he doesn't bend very easily. He is still great for doggy style and certain other positions that enter from behind, as well as hand-held play. Because he is such a "straight shooter" (never gonna get a comfortable upward curve out of him) and firm silicone is so easy to insert, I tend to save him for anal adventures. Silicone can retain scent sometimes, so I always use a condom on him when going through the back door.

I cannot speak to the effectiveness of the vibrations on the bullet-hole version, but I do know from experience that firm silicone transmits vibration well and much better than softer silicone, so take from that what you will.

Cleaning Woody is super easy, and since silicone is non-porous he can be thoroughly sanitized for sharing between partners. You can boil him, wipe him with diluted bleach, or put him in the top rack of the dishwasher. He is easy to stick in a bag for travel, but I would recommend keeping him in a bag or his tube because he attracts lint. Ideal storage would be upright and away from rubbers of mysterious origin that might react with silicone. He comes with Vixen's standard lifetime warranty (applies under intended use, doesn't cover silicone lube reactions or chewing pets), and if treated properly he could last several lifetimes.

Woody is and always will be a mainstay in my collection. I love pulling him out for partners who enjoy riding that line of firm-but-not-too-firm, and also for anal adventures. He gets less use day to day because I find most people prefer Vixskin, but that doesn't mean I love him any less.
