First of all, I have had the Lone Star for almost three years now. So, this is my initial and follow-up review all in one (plus 16 more follow-ups). I've had three years of good times with this dildo, countless miles covered over three moves and via some sort of thrusts-to-mileage equation, and it's still going strong and still a frequent pick.

Secondly, I lack a vagina. As such, my experience with the Lone Star is largely in the realm of its performance as an anal toy. In that area, this dildo performs wonderfully. The softness of the VixSkin is forgiving to an anus moving into a larger toy-size category, and the balls make for a good handle during solo play. You can also get some really good prostate contact if you're willing to work with angles. You can get a really firm pressure and rhythm, and the VixSkin keeps you from just beating your prostate up.
The weight of the dildo makes it somewhat usable to ride it, with it just sitting on the floor, or bed, or whatever. The balls and sturdy base also make it work well inside of a harness, which I'll elaborate on further down.

VixSkin is one of my favorite materials for dildos. Its density, softness, and lack of strong odor make it one of the best for making realistic dildos.

The Lone Star appears to be made with two different mixtures of VixSkin, or perhaps VixSkin with a pure silicone core. At any rate, the inner core is far more rigid than the plush VixSkin exterior. The base is made of the same material, which prevents the whole thing from having the rigidity of a raw hot dog.
The rigid core comes up the center of the shaft from the base of dildo, and ends in a smooth point about halfway between the start of the coronal ridge and the tip of the glans. It isn't super rigid or hard, and the dildo can be easily bent in half every-which-way without damage. It allows you to have the soft, realistic feel of the VixSkin, with a more realistic rigidity for an erect penis (I think that's a record for me, for the number of uses of the word "rigid" in a single paragraph).

Oh, and since I mentioned the lack of odor, VixSkin also lacks any real taste. Both odor and taste are comparable to, say...the smell of new shoes. It's at least somewhat noticeable at first, but isn't overbearing or unpleasant, and it fades with time.

In terms of texture, the Lone Star boasts a realistic and noticeable corona, a veiny shaft, and a pair of realistic...cut-in-half balls. The veins on the shaft are a bit aggressive in design, and any human with veins like that might want to consult a doctor, but the VixSkin makes them barely noticeable--at least anally.

The sawed-off balls don't really effect the operation of the dildo at all...but they do look kind of awkward, and my wife and I had a few laughs about them.

The Lone Star looks like a penis, there's no getting around that. So, anyone with a point of reference who happens to see it is going to immediately know that it's a model of a penis. I don't think many people keep penis-models for artistic merit, so how discreet it is is as good as you are at espousing the aesthetic qualities of genitalia.

That said, it is also a somewhat large penis. I would say medium sized, and it was my first foray into larger toys for anal play. It's probably too big for most people new to anal insertion, but if you're already using toys of a similar circumference, this should be no problem. The squishiness of the VixSkin also makes it a good toy to "upgrade" with, if you're using toys in the circumference range of 4-5".

My one complaint about the shape is barely a complaint, but more a thought for others: It is straight. There is no curve left or right, or up or down. There is no bulge or valley. It is a straight, softly-textured dildo with nothing else of real interest in its shape.

As I mentioned, the Lone Star works well in a harness. The rigid base extends down to the balls, which keeps it from drooping quite as much as smaller-based dildos. On top of that, the inner core helps it perform as well as any of the more solid dildos--those of silicone-only construction, or other more rigid materials.
Also, since the inner core doesn't extend into the tip of the dildo, the VixSkin gives it a nice cushion for any...more aggressive thrusts.

A suction cup would really help to perfect this dildo...

The Lone Star is a breeze to clean. The VixSkin is very versatile, and can be boiled (up to 3 minutes) to disinfect it, or even just thrown into the top rack of your dishwasher. I usually just give him a good rub-down in the sink with some anti-bacterial hand soap before & after use. I threw out the packaging when I got it, so I just store him upright on a shelf. Yeah, he collects a little dust, but that's why I wash before use.

Oh, and also: DO NOT use anything but WATER-based lubricant. VixSkin is fantastic, but it is silicone-based, and silicone and oil-based lubes can destroy it. Nobody wants that.

It doesn't get more plain than a generically-sized plastic bubble-box. No inserts, no real information, but what do you want? It's a dildo - plain and simple.

The package is reusable for storage of the Lone Star, though, if you have the foresight to not just throw it away. Apparently it helps keep the dust off between uses. Who knew?

As I mentioned, I've had plenty of time to experience the Lone Star. My first experience was, as I've said, an upgrade from the toys I'd been using previously, and the give of the VixSkin outer layer made for an easy insertion, and a very pleasant stretching. The balls and the rigid base have always been great handles, even when the amount of lube gets a bit crazy. I only just got my first suction-cupped dildo recently, so for the past three years, the weight of this guy had to be enough for me to ride it, and it worked out pretty well.
I still use it very frequently, either on its own, or in concert with other toys. I have a made-for-prostate-massage dildo that I really enjoy, and I'll often grab the Lone Star for the purpose instead.
Along the same line, I recently purchased TitanMen's Marco Blaze (see my review here), and I still frequently finish off with my Lone Star, even after using the Marco Blaze.
