[Toy Review] Avant Pride P1 Dildo

Published on by Amy

As someone who is both very queer and loves bright colours, Pride Month is kind of a dream. Not only is it tremendously affirming to see celebrations of queer people and who we are, but there are rainbows on basically everything. Fuck rainbow capitalism from corporations that couldn’t give a damn about us the rest of the year, of course, but if a brand I already like and trust releases something in a pride colourway I’ll at least be a little bit tempted. Like this flexible, silicone rainbow dildo from Blush Novelties, the Avant Pride P1.

There are also leather, bisexual, and lesbian flag toys in this range, amongst others.

Avant Pride P1 Rainbow Dildo: Details

The Avant Pride P1 rainbow dildo is a fairly petite little thing. It measures 6″ in total length and 5.25″ insertable length, with a diameter of 1.4″ at widest point. It has a distinctly curved shape, a bulbous head, a flexible and bendy shaft, and a suction cup base. Made of body-safe silicone, the P1 sports the six colours of the classic rainbow LGBTQ+ pride flag.

Avant Pride P1 Dildo In Use: Slimline and Flexible

First, the good. I very much like the shape of the Avant Pride P1 rainbow dildo. The bulbous head is great for stimulating the G-spot, while the slimline shaft makes it comfortable to insert and the slightly wider bottom stimulates the vaginal opening. It’s also anal-safe, if that’s your thing, and imagine it would work similarly for the prostate and the anal opening.

Overall, though, this dildo is a little too flexible for my preferences. When I try to thrust with it, the ultra-bendy shaft means it’s likely to end up hitting the wrong spot or popping out of me entirely. It also means I need to use a lot of lube to even get it in at all.

At first glance, I thought this dildo would be perfect for strap-on sex. However, in reality, that’s really not the case. Though the wide base (sans balls) makes it harness-compatible and the slim shaft could be ideal for beginners or anyone who prefers less girthy insertables, the bendiness makes it far from an ideal dildo for either vaginal or anal strap-on sex.

P1 Rainbow Dildo: Verdict

Though I love the aesthetic, functionally this is a dildo that’s just okay. Where it excels is as a warm-up toy, or as a toy to insert and then leave in while other things are happening (such as clitoral play.) If you like very soft and flexible dildos it might suit you perfectly, but give this one a miss for either strap-on sex or harder thrusting.

The Pride P1 dildo retails for $44.99 and is available from retailers such as Good Vibes, Babeland, Shevibe, Sex Toys UK, and The Pleasure Garden.

[Toy Review] Lovehoney Lifelike Lover Realistic Dildo

Published on by Amy

Update 2022: the Lifelike Lover 8″ dildo in silicone is still available, but this particular colourway is not. Otherwise, the toy remains identical.

Readers often ask me to recommend good quality and body-safe lifelike dildos at affordable prices. There are many wonderful realistic silicone dildos on the market, but premium brands 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. There are a few different products in this line, some of which are made from body-safe silicone, others of which are unfortunately made of porous and potentially toxic materials such as soft plastic and PVC. Always double-check to ensure you’re buying the silicone versions.

I received the 8″ silicone version to try out.

Lovehoney 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. That’s the trade-off for the affordable price.

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. The Lifelike Lover dildo is also technically 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 Dildo Review: Verdict

The 8″ Lifelike Lover in silicone retails for £39.99 UK/$54.99 US. If you’re looking for a quality realistic dildo that won’t break the bank, you can’t go far wrong with this toy.
