Sportsheets Hux — Test & Review

The Hux has a simple, understated design that appeals to me. It's smooth and gently tapered, with a slightly bulbous tip that's satisfying to pop inside without being much effort. I'm also a fan of less realistic-looking dildos, so the non-phallic design is a plus in my books. The best part, of course, is the wide, flexible suction cup base that sticks to almost anything.

This dildo is very easy to use if you're okay with slightly girthier dildos. It's not extremely thick or long, but total beginners may find it takes some warm up to insert the Hux comfortably. If that's not issue for you, though, then it's a breeze. You can mount it in whichever position you prefer, or use it handheld, and the smooth shaft only requires a little lubrication to slip right in.

I wasn't overly surprised with how high-quality the Hux is, but that's only because I know the quality of Sportsheets products as a whole. It's a great-quality dildo with soft silicone, sturdy construction and a fabulously-designed suction cup. I'm taking off a couple of points solely because there is a slight seam line in the silicone running from the tip to the base. It's not noticeable when you use it, but the devil is in the details, right?

The Sportsheets Hux is priced very similarly to other larger and high-quality dildos, such as the Fun Factory The Boss and the Tantus Curve. At around $50-60, depending on where you look, it's not the cheapest dildo in the world, but I think it's well worth it for a very versatile, everyday-use dildo! I do wish that you also got a storage bag for your money, but that's not included with this product.

The Hux doesn't have a ton of reviews online, so I didn't have a lot to compare it to. However, I think it performed admirably and will be a go-to for me in the future. The suction cup alone makes it a star!

The packaging of this toy is nice and light, but it's nothing too special. Two sides of the box are clear plastic, allowing you to see the Hux lying in its plastic nest. It's a little impractical to use to store the toy, but since it doesn't come with a storage pouch, you may want to keep it around.

The Hux is made from 100% body-safe, non-porous silicone. Stick with using a water-based lube with it, as silicone- and oil-based lubes can damage its surface. It's easy to clean with some mild soap and warm water, or you could use a purpose-made toy cleaner. If you'd like to share it with other people, you can easily sterilize it in some boiling water for a minute or two, or even stick it in an empty dishwasher cycle! Just make sure that, when you store it, it's not touching other silicone or TPE toys, as this can also damage the surface of the material.
