The Vixskin Bandit by Vixen Creations is truly one of the most versatile dildos I've come across, and that's saying something. This dual-density dildo can be used for many different things such as: harness play, packing for an extremely large bulge, oral play, anal play, vaginal play, and is a great toy for anyone looking for that realistic look and feel. This toy is really soft on the outside, and has a firm core which extends and ends right before you get to the head, simulating the real tissue in men. His flared base not only makes him harness compatible, but also safe for anal play. Whether you're all alone or with a partner, this life-like dildo is sure to please.

Note: This is a rather large dildo, so those who aren't ready to conquer 7 inches of insertable shaft, and 1-3/4" in diameter should take heed in what they are buying. This toy is a very big boy.

The Vixskin material used to make this dildo is hygienically superior dual density silicone. Vixskin is made to feel like real skin, and it does. This silicone has a tacky feel right out of the box, kind of like skin when it's dried after sweating a lot, but with a good rinse and some lubrication, you won't be able to tell the difference between this dildo and a real man. The dildo, when rinsed and lubed up, feels nice and soft, and quite slick, just as skin would. That is the Vixskin trademark. Once dried, however, this tackiness will return, making this dildo an extreme lint and hair magnet.

The Bandit is very squishy on the outside, while still managing to maintain itself via it's inner core of harder, firmer silicone. This makes for the realistic feel of the dildo. The shaft is lined with subtle, only slightly noticeable veins, (which I didn't feel upon insertion) and the base has a squishy, textured and slightly wrinkled scrotum. This base helps the dildo stand upright on it's own without falling over, and also makes it safe for anal play, harness play, and easing in the use of this toy.

Fresh out of the box, this toy has a small distinct odor. I had to laugh, because I bought the caramel version, and it indeed smelled like caramel to me with it's lightly sweet odor. The only way to smell this however, one would have to bring it directly under their nose. With that said, this toy has no taste, and the squishiness adds to the realism of performing oral on it, along with the velveteen 'skin' under the head and along the shaft. If you're looking to practice oral sex, then this is the dildo for it.

Above all I'd say the size of this dildo makes for more intermediate to advanced users, and wouldn't be the best for a beginner due to its massive and intimidating size. However, for couples or solo users looking for the perfect dildo, I'd suggest taking a look at the Bandit.

Note: This material is flexible and moves with your body, and the squishiness of the head makes this toy less likely to bruise the cervix.

The Bandit is extremely realistic, and as such, this doesn't make him great for traveling around with. He's a large, realistic dildo with a set of balls--that isn't subtle at all. So, if you want to travel with him, I suggest hiding him well in your travel bag.

This dildo was perfectly designed for maximum stimulation. The realistic feel of this dildo, along with the tapered shaft and defined head made for an amazing session. The way the material moves with your body, the Bandit is perfect for all positions, and is ready for a rough ride with its tear resistant material. Once lubricant is applied, the head and shaft will glide perfectly with your movements, and the 'skin' of the dildo will be as silky and delightful as the real thing. With that said, there really isn't a wrong way to move this dildo, as it moves with you, creating the perfect orchestra whatever point it reaches inside of you.

If you plan on using this dildo for harness play, make sure to get an O-Ring big enough for its girth, and note that this dildo, being as large as it is, will have some flop to it. It can hold its own to an extent, but the shaft does droop downward a bit while maintaining its erect state. The firm core and base will press against your form while your partner is on the receiving end of your movements, creating a bit of stimulation for you as well.

This dildo is soft, bendable, and moves with the body to create the perfect sensation in any situation. When using this dildo vaginally, the plush material of the outer layer moved with me, and the soft head pressed against all the right spots. I have not tried this toy anally, but I am sure with the aforementioned qualities, it would make for a realistic and amazing experience. The ability to be soft but firm at the same time is sure to please anyone willing to take on this toy. Those who wish to use it for harness play should note the drooping mentioned earlier, but it will not interfere with the penetration of this toy.

The box says to treat it like your own skin and honestly, you should treat it more carefully than that. When simulating a blowjob on this toy, I noticed my teeth left a small mark on the head, but not too bad to cause any problems. I have not gotten around to trying to boil my toy, but I am sure if you do, you should take note of how pliable the skin is previous to going in water that could potentially make it even more pliable. Those with long fingernails should also be careful not to nick the material. Make sure to be careful, but remember to have fun and maintain the life of your toy.

As stated before, I noticed this toy, as with all silicone, is a lint magnet. However, a quick dip under the faucet will clean it right up and make this toy feel smooth and slick in the process. I will be keeping mine in its packaging to avoid picking up excess dust and pet hair. Lubricant will also make this toy smooth and silky, and it doesn't take much to get this toy ready.

Vixskin, like all silicone, is easily maintained with the proper care. You can rinse this toy with soap and warm water, wipe it down with a toy cleanser, boil it, bleach it in a 10% bleach solution, or put it in the top rack of your dishwasher without detergent. As stated, when boiled or put in the dishwasher, be sure to be careful when extracting it, as the 'skin' may be more pliable and prone to indentations. No one wants their dildo ruined.

This dildo is made from silicone, so use ONLY water based lubricants. Silicone lubricants can react badly with this material, causing it to feel gummy, become distorted, and damage the toy. No one wants that fate for such a high-end toy.

I plan on keeping my Bandit inside of the box it came in, as in my opinion, it's the best way to store it, and keep it maintaining its quality.

The Bandit came packaged inside of a clear, hard clam shell casing. It has the Vixskin logo on the front and a few details about the toy on the back. Packaging, I would say, is minimal. However, it is fairly bulky, so if you wish to throw the box away, it is recyclable. I, however, plan to use its original packaging as storage. The shell casing is in no way discreet at all.

I cannot express in words how realistic this dildo feels, and had no idea how amazing it would be just from reading the reviews. I had no idea what an amazing quality toy I had coming to me, and I feel that I will always be amazed when I grab this toy for playtime. I'd definitely recommend saving your pennies for this toy, because it is definitely worth the price and the wait. I know I will have fun with the Bandit for years to come with proper care and maintenance. This was my first dual-density silicone, and my first Vixskin toy, and I couldn't be happier with what was sent to me.

In the small amount of time I've had with this toy, it has definitely made me want more. With the realistic feel, and the fluid movements that hit all of the right spots vaginally, this is going to be the first toy I grab. This toy is perfect for riding and for hands free fun, as it can stand on its own. If this toy had a suction cup and vibrations, it would be even better, but that's just my opinion.
