Gode réaliste silicone VixSkin Bandit 19 cm, Vixen

Firstly, I cannot recommend this guy enough!

The material feels very realistic and soft. Because of this it's very pleasurable and easy clean.

The size feels amazing and it's is long enough to use with a partner in a harness to prevent slipping out!

I would buy this product over and over again! Cannot recommended enough.

Bought this as the next step up from the Mustang (and Mustang Royale). And boy, the bandit does not disappoint!

As someone who only very recently got into penetration, I have owned the Vixen Mustang and Mustang Royale for a while and have used them on my partner and have loved the amazing VixSkin material. She has told me how amazing the Mustangs felt so when I started exploring I was excited to discover she wasn't kidding! However, after a while I was craving something a little larger so got the bandit after hearing lots of good reviews and being addicted to the VixSkin material.

With a gentler curve than the mustang and a very odd base - not quite balls, not quite not, the Bandit was just what I was looking for. That delicious give of the putter silicone, with that firm inner core.

We've not tried bandit strapped in as he's too big for my partner's tastes, but I imagine he would ride just as well as his smaller brothers.

I'm still to have that vaginal, or G-spot orgasm, but I'm starting to enjoy penetration and that's in no small part to choosing the right toys, Vixen has my heart even when my wallet has other ideas.

I will start off by saying that this was our second set up my girlfriend and myself purchased. First being a walk in, off the shelf kit which was very average.

I hunted around online and found the Bandit had some pretty decent reviews, showed the missus and she was happy and then chose the RodeoH crotchless low rise harness. My opinion is they should have them on special as a combo cause the work so well together!

The dildo itself looked slightly intimidating at first but it's nothing but pure bliss! It has a soft outer silicone which is very forgiving but also slowly fills as you adjust to its size.

We started off with a play session once a month and the GF likes this combo so much we use it around the four times a week now. We have also both agreed to purchase the Outlaw and step up a size, so we will let you guys know how that goes.

Only unfortunate thing is that we going to need a new harness as the low rise crotchless RodeoH only fits the Bandit and is not adjustable at all. We looking at the Tomboi harness with the outlaw.

I would 100% recommend this setup for beginner to intermediate players and anyone looking for quality products to last.

Non biased review!

As per my review of Johnny - I bought both the Vixen Johnny and Bandit together, as I couldn’t decide which of the two to invest in.

Johnny and Bandit are perfect twins in Dildo Land. Johnny got the chunky genes and presents himself with a cock-sure swagger, whilst Bandit got the lean ones, and stands tall with a calm, collected manner of someone who’s more than comfortable in his own skin.

There’s very little between the two - apart from that in-your-face head that Johnny proudly sports. Johnny is more curved, whilst Bandit stands more erect and to attention.

In my opinion, the Vixskin material really does warrant the hefty price tag that goes with all Vixen’s dildos. It’s not just the material (which feels incredibly real) that sets Vixen’s products apart from their rivals’, it’s the design and structure of the dildo itself - that celebrated firm core, and softer, more flexible outer skin. It’s a perfect package of robustness and tactile, silky softness. Bandit can be everything that you want him to be - he can be firm and forthright, or tactile and tender - all in one incredible dildo.

Like Johnny, Bandit comes in a transparent, hard plastic clamshell package. My only minor gripe is that it’s a shame that the packaging can only be laid flat, so you can’t stand it upright in a bedside table - but again, a very minor gripe in what is an altogether fabulous product.

So onto this bad boy. Bandit is very similar to Johnny (both have exact the same mid-shaft and base circumference), but Bandit is firmer, leaner and slightly longer, with a smaller head, which makes him much more manageable from cold-start to full throttle - I’m probably more likely to want to use him with a strap on, as he’s easier to guide into all the right places, without that meaty head stealing the show. He’s also smoother, with less pronounced veins and more slimline, lower profile balls.

The balls are a curious mix of soft top and hard bottom - and look like someone sliced them in two. I’m not sure how that comparatively hard base will feel when used with a harness - but maybe it’ll be just the right mix of firmness and give when thrusting - time will tell on that one. Johnny has slightly fuller, rounder balls, with the same soft/hard combo.

But this is Bandit’s chance to shine, so let’s angle that spotlight onto all he has to offer - and it’s quite an impressive package.

He has a tapered head, with a narrowed shaft just beneath the head, which gradually thickens in circumference down to the base. Mid-shaft circumference is the same as at the base (i.e., he doesn’t flare out at the bottom, except for the balls/base).

When you take him out of the packet, you just can’t help but give this guy a gentle squeeze - and once you do, that’s when you realise just how flexible he really is. He feels firm at his core, but he stretches in all directions beneath your grip.

I must admit, I couldn’t wait to try him out, and it wasn’t long after he’d arrived that I lubed him up and off we went.

The nice angle of the head makes for easy insertion and that lovely Vixskin covering helps him to glide inside without any painful surprises. The shaft is nicely proportioned so that as you take him deeper he becomes fuller, and what a wonderful feeling it is to have him inside. I can’t describe it any other way, other than to say that he feels like he “just belongs”. He’s soft, he’s hard, he’s responsive. No sharp stabbing pains, no dull, painful ache. I could actually feel the softer outerskin, sliding up and down on the more solid core, rubbing up against my vaginal walls.

The second time I got to try him, I used a vibrator pressed up against the base, while he was inside. Needless to say, the results were explosive.

All in all, this is a fantastic dildo. It’s a well-made, quality product that will give years of pleasure and despite the hefty price tag, it’s a sound investment and worth its weight in gold.

I’d be hard pressed to choose between Bandit and Johnny - they both have their own strengths - it all depends on what you want from a dildo.

This day and age there are so many new and innovative toys being ‘thrust’ into the market that we as a community seem quick to forget the basics. There are vibrating plugs, textured sleeves, and even whole machines dedicated to the art of self-pleasuring. A simple browse through this site will confront you will more bells and whistles than a belly dancer’s skirt! This isn’t a bad thing, of course. I, like most people, can appreciate the diversity that these modern toys are able to offer, but there’s something about a classic that really gets me going.

The dildo, iconic as it is, has slowly found itself sinking into an ever-growing heap of increasingly impressive playthings. It’s not that we’ve stopped loving the poor thing - we still do, fiercely in fact - but now more than ever, we have put it on a backburner in favour of something.... more. Hell, why would any sane person pick a wobbly little gearstick over something that vibrates, hits your g-spot, tickles your bum hole, unloads the dishwasher, and serves you hot cocoa on those cold winter nights? I may or may not have exaggerated a little on those last points, but surely you get where I’m coming from? The dildo has a lot to compete with these days, so it really takes a lot for one to truly stand out. Luckily for me, I think my latest find does just that.

The Bandit, brought to you by the great minds at Vixen Creations, combines new technology with old school thrills, and, boy, did they do it right. Their famed and patented VixSkin generously layers plush, textured silicone over a firm yet flexible inner core, making it highly practical while providing a breathtakingly realistic feel. The archetypal dildo mechanics have stayed the same, but it’s this unique combination that really makes the Bandit pop.

VixSkin is a unique beast, in a different league entirely to the common trading standard. It is as high a grade silicone as you’re going to find on the market today and the outer layer has a certain elasticity and pliability that I haven’t encountered before. The exterior is pressure-sensitive, meaning that it has that all too delicious give that I know a lot of us crave, and is non-porous, something we can all be thankful for. In terms of feel, it is, in a word, luxurious. It seems almost whimsical to describe the material of such a simple toy in this way, but it’s true. You really do feel like you’re holding something quite special in your hands. There’s nothing like it. While I can’t claim it to be an exact match for real human skin, I can say that once warm, it comes pretty close. The external plushness and aforementioned give go a long way in making this so.

Aesthetically, it took me a while to appreciate the Bandit. It is not that it is unsightly or grotesque, it is far from that, in fact, but as a rule I usually favour glass toys and have been known to steer clear of anything with even a hint of realism. Looking at this dildo, in all of its tacky, out of the box glory, it is quite clear that it is not my usual type. Beige, long, balled, and bulbous, there’s not much discretion to be found. It is what it is, and that is that, but I somehow found myself warming to it all the same. It is lavishly decorated with detailed veins and wrinkles that respectively tangle around the shaft, head and balls. Like a cherry atop of the proverbial cake, the package is completed by a round and slightly tapered lifelike head, and, all in all, it looks complete. The testicles do appear somewhat lackluster when compared to the rest of the toy, but it is a fact easily overlooked when you acknowledge that they are acting as its base.

Of course, with any toy, functionality is the real money maker. So, how does the Bandit measure up during use? Well, I think it does pretty well. What had originally felt so good in my hand only felt better once the toy was inside. Unlike traditional dildos, which can often feel uncomfortably solid and unyielding, the Bandit actually works with your vagina to give you an altogether more personal sensation. The fleshy VixSkin offers a gentler touch, far removed from the prodding plastic of yesteryear, and caresses your walls in ways that are unmatched by any other toy I’ve experienced. The kiss of the premium silicone against your most intimate nerves is simply divine, and the slightly curved shaft and pointed head serve to deliver this ethereal sensation right where it counts. My favourite factor is the fact that it warms and retains heat from insertion. You essentially pass your own body heat on to it, giving an extra dimension to the illusion of realistic sex. It’s straightforward science that works oh so well.

As for those pesky balls, this is where they really come into their own. Grip, squeeze, push, and pull - they make the perfect handle when reaching for those all-important sweet spots. Gone are the days of desperately trying to thrust with a slippery tip, the Bandit offers the ideal, ahem, tool to combat this common complaint. At this point, it’s worth wondering if there’s anything the guys at Vixen haven’t thought of – besides a suction cup, of course. Come on, boys, take a hint.

All joking aside, a couple of things may be worth noting. Firstly, the actual size of the Bandit should be taken into account. Despite the smaller head, the toy itself, measuring 7-8 inches with an impressive girth of 5.5, is still quite bulky. For this reason, I would not necessarily recommend it to beginners or those unwilling to work a little for the payoff. Careful preparation and a lashing or two of good quality water-based lube is an absolute must if you have a tighter vagina and don’t wish to cause yourself discomfort. Some people might be fine right of the bat, but I found that my own body needed a little encouragement before I could reap the full benefits.

Another notable concern is the so-called harness compatibility. Now, I don’t doubt at all that it would fit some just fine. However, those ever present balls do pose an obstacle should a harness not be equipped to accommodate them. I can see the whole affair being a rather fiddly one, so I do suggest proceeding with caution if that is your sole incentive for purchasing. For me, neither of these things were deal breakers, but it’s important, I think, for you to be aware of these traits if you are considering adding this glorious schlong to your collection.

In regards to cleanliness, VixSkin is second to none. Being non-porous, it doesn’t thrive on eating bacteria, so the only thing you need to worry about keeping clean is the surface, something you just have to appreciate. Cleaning up after has to be the least sexy part of the whole shebang, so it’s a relief to know that the Bandit makes this a pain free procedure. Simply rinse with water and a kind-to-skin antibacterial soap to keep your toy (and yourself) fresh and happy.

When all is said and done, the bandit can be stored almost anywhere, but I keep mine in the clamshell packaging it was gifted to me in. Clear, with understated black and gold labelling, the product case on its own doesn’t yell about its contents, but, being transparent, it doesn’t exactly need to. It does work well as a classy presentation box, but it is perhaps not an ideal storage solution for all.

For a more discreet option, I strongly recommend investing in a separate bag or case, as this likely isn’t a container that can sit unnoticed in a drawer or on a shelf between uses. Wherever it is, make sure that the place you choose for your Bandit to hang its hat is as dust and particle free as possible. This toy can be tacky and just loves to wear dirt and fibre, so it’s best to keep it away from him when he’s off the clock. This way, your Bandit will be ready and raring to go when the next time rolls around, minimal fuss and maximum fun ensured.

I’d recommend the Bandit to anybody who has read through my review and maintained the healthy interest they’d developed upon clicking the product page. If my minor complaints haven’t fazed you, then I’d say you’re already well on your way to buying and then enjoying this fabulous toy. I can’t express my love for it enough and I’m sure you’ll feel the same once you’ve had the chance to enjoy it. Happy shopping!
