Update 02/03/22: the Lifelike Lover 8″ in silicone is still available, but this particular colourway is not. Otherwise, the toy remains identical.
Readers are always asking me to recommend good quality, body-safe dildos at affordable prices. There are many wonderful realistic silicone dildos on the market, but many of them tend to be expensive. Vixen Creations are pretty unbeatable, but not everyone can afford to drop £100+ on a toy.
That’s why Lovehoney created Lifelike Lover, a range of realistic toys at affordable prices. Some of these toys are made of body-safe silicone, while others are unfortunately made of porous and potentially toxic materials such as “soft plastic”, PVC, and TPE/TPR. Always double-check to ensure you’re buying the silicone versions.
I received the 8 inch silicone version.
Lifelike Lover Realistic Silicone Dildo: Details
This Lifelike Lover silicone dildo measures 8″ long from base to tip, with an insertable length of 7″ and a diameter of 1.59″ at the widest point.
The Lifelike Lover design really is very, well, lifelike! It has a natural curve, a pronounced head, realistic veins all down the shaft, textured balls, and even a meatus (don’t you love that word?) It also has a suction cup base.
What I Like About This Dildo
The Lifelike Lover dildo is slightly curved, which is ideal for G-spot stimulation. The silicone is soft and pliable, meaning you can angle it just right for your body’s preferences, but still firm and dense enough to provide plenty of internal pressure.
It’s worth noting that this toy is single-density silicone, meaning you won’t get the realistic “movement” that you can get from a dual-density or triple-density toy.
Its suction cup base makes it ideal for hands-free use as well as making it anal-safe. The suction cup is seriously strong – affix the toy to a firm surface and it won’t move until you want it to. It is also strap-on harness-compatible, though I find toys with balls much less ideal for this purpose as the balls tend to get in the way.
Lifelike Lover: Verdict
The 8″ Lifelike Lover in silicone retails for £34.99 UK/$54.99 US. If you’re looking for a realistic dildo at an affordable price, you can’t go far wrong with this toy.
