Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Go smaller than your ego wants, warm it up in your hands and use plenty of water-based lube. You can size up next time. Solo, stick it to the shower wall or take your time on your back with a lot of lube. Both are great.
The one we'd practice with is Vixen Maverick. The head is plump and the curve aims right at the G-spot. VixSkin makes it feel close to the real thing.
For exact lengths and widths, see our dildo size guide.

Buying guide
The one we'd pick up again
Vixen Maverick. Smooth, heavy and a little squishy on the surface. Close your eyes and it stops feeling like a toy. With a partner, put it in their hand and tell them how slow. Or harness it up and let them wear it.
