Vixen VixSkin Buck — Test & Review

I love Vixen's colorful tie dye designs so was over the moon to get my hands on the tie bright version of the buck! It's just so bright and playful. I love that it combines a realistic shape and feel with more exciting colors. The midnight pearl is also a beautiful, darker design, with swirls of blue, black, and pearly white. I'm personally not a fan of skin-colored dildos, but if you are, it also comes in three different skin tones. I would say it's top marks all round on the design.

The Vixen VixSkin Buck is very straight forward to use, although you might find you need a bit more time and maybe a smaller toy or your fingers to warm up first! Like all VixSkin dildos the Buck has what Vixen call a non-stick base, which is an almost suction cup! You can see in my photo that it will stick to flat smooth surfaces, but it doesn't have quite the same staying power as a full suction cup base. However, it's suitable for use in a strap-on harness.

I said it before, and I'll say it again, VixSkin dildos are the best of the best! Their platinum grade silicone feels amazing and is very durable, so you are really getting a dildo that will stand the test of time! The silicone also contains a silicone lubricant suspended between the molecules (it doesn't come out of the dildo), which gives it that soft, squishy, lovely feel. Not to mention, each one is handmade!

Vixen's VixSkin Dildos are some of the more expensive dual density dildos out there but they are worth every cent in my book! If you love a thicker shaft but aren't looking for lots of length and crave a realistic feel, the Buck really is worth the investment! However, for this price, it is disappointing not to get a storage bag.

I had high hopes that the Vixen Vixskin Buck was going to fill in a gap in my sex toy collection for a thick but relatively easy and comfortable to use dildo and boy has it delivered! It might be a little big for everyday use, but I know I will be reaching for the Buck when I've got a little more time to work up to it!

I think the packaging is the only thing I don't love about Vixen dildos! The plastic tube isn't particularly pretty and doesn't have the same luxurious feel as the dildos. They also aren't practical for storing the dildo either as it's so fiddly to get the lid back on. I would much rather have a cardboard box that could be recycled and a storage bag.

The Vixen VixSkin Buck is made from 100% silicone, making it non-porous and super easy to clean! For regular cleaning, you can use warm water and fragrance-free soap or a sex toy cleaner. If you want to sterilize it for use between partners or between anal and vaginal use, you can boil it in a pot of hot water for 5 minutes. You should also only use water-based lubrication and keep it away from other silicone toys to prevent the silicone degrading. You'll also want to get a soft storage back to keep it clean and protected between uses.
