Review; Nox the Night Drake!

---

Bad Dragon have been the big boys of Fantasy toys since their launch in 2008, so if there is something you are looking for-- be it beastly or anthropomorphic- you are likely to find it here.

Currently offering 53 fully custom models, all in a vast array of sizes, there is surely something to tickle even the most fickle of fantasies. The only issue is where to start!

So you've chosen you toy.. What next? Well, Bad Dragon offers three different firmnesses when it comes to your toy; Soft, Medium and Firm. This refers to the firmness of silicone that you choose to have your toy made in. If in doubt, order yourself a Firmness sample set. There is nothing worse than ordering a toy in completely the wrong firmness. Doh!

Not only can you customize those options, but you can also order your toy in any combination of any colours, including glow in the dark, metallic, and pearly finishes. Always shoot Bad Dragon an inquiry prior to ordering though-- Bad Dragon may strive to "Make Fantasies Real", however some things just aren't feasible. 

Extras such as Suction Cups and Cum tubes are offered by this company, however some models in certain sizes/firmnesses simply don't support either or both. This is become apparent at the time of ordering, so no need to sweat.

Bad Dragon’s toys are all cast in 100% platinum cured silicone which is body safe, phthalates free and hypoallergenic, meaning it can be easily sterilized after use. Generally, mild soap and hot water is good enough to keep your toy clean after use, but a weekly-to-monthly boil will keep your product in tip top condition. Dicks require a lot of TLC!

Remember to use water based lubricant with these toys since Silicone Lubricant can destroy and damage your toy. Keep this in mind if using condoms with toys— double check your lubricant! If you're unsure about your lube, play it safe and go for something clearly labelled water-based.

My Toy

As many of you may know, I own a lot of sex toys. Probably half of my collection is made up of Bad Dragon toys, so choosing something new was rather difficult. I settled on Nox, something smooth and more gentle than my usual choice. He appealed to me as something that did not require a lot of preparation and struggle to fully enjoy, especially considering I am used to using rough, knotted or wrinkled toys.

A design that was the very first winner of the Labs competition, Nox was created by a user named Hyena_Queen, a was a much anticipated by the community. On paper it was a design that did not appeal as much as others; based closely off a certain toothless dragon, it was clear that this would be appreciated by a wide audience.

I am somewhat skeptical when it comes to Labs submissions.. I feel as though submissions should only be allowed to be shown in a single, flat colouration, as a lot of the designs have flashy, eye-catching themes that often win over votes purely for this reason. Hm. I digress.

Nox was a lot more appealing when releasing in the flesh, so to speak. The sweeping curves and natural looking muscle groups looked simply yummy, and the natural colouration chosen was simply lovely despite my earlier rant. The special "Night Drake" colour scheme closely fit that shown in the concept art, and the three other options were all very lovely in their own right.

Personally, I cannot own nice things. I like to own obnoxious, crazy things, which is why I let the Staff decide which colours I got on my own Nox. I provided them with two different themed pictures, both colours that were poured previously of different models (A galaxy Flint & a pastel, trans Hanns). When I opened the box I legitimately squealed a little, because my Nox was the sweetest, girliest thing I've ever had the privilege of owning.

My Nox had been made in the most beautiful, translucent rainbow fade. It looked icey, almost popsicle like. The transition between the colours were simply flawless and I just could not put the toy down, waving it around at my Fiance in joy. I'm not actually the worlds biggest fan of Rainbow toys, but the shades chosen for each of the typical rainbow colours were just so wonderful and delicious looking that I couldn't not love it.

The boring bits; My Nox was requested in Medium size, Medium firmness, with just a suction cup base. Tubes are great if that is your thing, but I personally find them more trouble than fun. I contemplated the Large size, however I reminded myself that I was getting this toy as something a little more gentle compared to my usual fair. The large would have been scrummy, but getting the medium size allows me to use this toy more often as it is less of a hassle, and much less strain on my tiny hands and wrists during use. Seriously, I have to get other people to use things like my Large Orca and my Large Moko on me simply because I cannot hold their weight up.

Bad-Dragon's packing skills are wonderful as ever, however I would suggest maybe smaller boxes for smaller toys? I had a lot of packing peanuts to deal with, and around half of the box was swamped with these things. Not an overly bad thing, as opening the box always smells like delicious corn snacks, but it is a pain to get rid of. Peanuts everywhere! As well as the toy, I found a bottle of lubricant, a pin, and a pen nestled inside with Nox. Thanks, guys!

In Use

Nox's first outing was a rather awesome one, and definitely not one I had prepared myself for. Story time!

I am a regular at various Kink and BDSM events, and the evening of this particular story I was attending a Gentlemen's Evening; this is a relaxed protocol event when I was serving as a submissive under my Dominant, serving them throughout the evening as they requested, i.e. food, drinks, good table manners and so on. 

The evening had wound down to a comfortable tone and things started turning a little sexual. I was asked to take out the toys I had bought along with me.. My Large Moko, and my special Nox. I was then ordered to take the toys, and show the other Dominants and their submissives how they were to be used, and how impressive it can be to see someone a little at myself use toys that are so large. 

I was embarrassed and shy, but as I slipped on my blind fold I relaxed and lubricated Nox up. He was silky smooth, something that I find really, really delicious in my toys. My fingers glided over his surface, feeling the waves and curves before inserting him slowly. The head popped in with no trouble, but the swell of the shaft caught me off guard! It gave a gentle, but noticeable stretch, something that took a few small thrusts to conquer before he nestled gently in to place. 

The shape and curve of Nox seem to fit my anatomy near perfectly, and the smoothness means that the toy does not dry out overly quickly. Nothing is more frustrating than the soreness caused by a dry silicone toy. Ugh!

The swell of Nox's shaft really provides great frontal wall stimulation, adding extra oomph to already great sensations. All in all I really love Nox. I don't know why I did not get one sooner!

Overall?

Nox is a fab little toy that provides a lot of stimulation whilst remaining nice and smooth. For those of you who are easily irritated by heavy texture, maybe consider this as your next purchase!

Pros;

• Great shape
• Super smooth
• Wonderful sculpt, visually delicious

Cons;

• Price, somewhat of a luxury for those with a low income
• Size may be challenging for some

You can find Nox and any of the other designs over at Bad Dragon! After all, they are here to Make your Fantasies real.

Exotic-Erotics Werewolf Dildo~!

The Company

Exotic-Erotics is one of the top companies making it businesses through making and selling exotic, fantasy sex toys, priding itself on the Life Cast models that they offer. This for some is enough to turn them off, however to others it is the main allure. They not only offer life cast animal phallus', but also life cast Humans for those of looking for that sort of toy. For more information on the Life-Casting process, please take a look here

Another thing that sets this company apart from the others is their line of sculpted animal toys. These toys have all the realism that one may be looking for without the moral implications of the life casting method. Whereas a lot of companies center around dragons and other mythological beasts, Exotic-Erotic has a superb line of intricately sculpted animals toys that adhere closely to the original shape, including a rhino, elephant trunk, croc and pony! They even off a Giraffe tongue now for those of you who want a little depth from your toys.

EE offers limited customization options but have a wide range of preset colours that can be mixed and matched to your own tastes. These include flat colours such as black, white, grey, green and blue and many more, as well as a small range of truly florescent colours. Glow in the dark is now available in both Green and Blue for just $15!

Custom colours can be attempted but aren't guaranteed to come out perfect, so please bare this in mine. With customization, if opting for a split then the first colour is free and you pay $10 for the second, but on a toy like this that has special markings, the colouration will only cost $15. This applies for the "swirl" option too. If you have any questions regarding custom colourations, don't hesitate to send the staff over at Exotic-Erotics a message, as they are always happy to help.
Suction cups are indeed available on most toys for a modest $5, incredibly reasonable for such a fun additional extra. I'd totally recommend this option.

Last but not least, each toy comes with a free hand-made storage bag! Great for both concealing your toy and keeping it nice and clean. Each bag is randomly chosen, and for my toy I received a lovely lime green bag.

As with all silicone toys, Water-based lube only! Silicone will kill your toy something fierce. Another lubricant that can be used safely with silicone toys is Coconut Oil.. Smells delicious too!

The Model

The toy I have here today is the Werewolf model. Having always been a huge fanatic of werewolves, it was only enevitable that one cropped up on my review list. There are other Werewolf models on the market, however the Exotic-Erotics version always appealed the most.

Here's how Exotic-Erotics describes this beasty;

"A monstrous new creature transforms under the light of the full moon, ready to partake in acts of carnal lust with anyone who dares try to tame him. Combining the best of both man and beast, the Werewolf is a thick, meaty toy that will leave you howling in ecstasy. From the tip of his human-like glans, across his plump, throbbing knot, all the way down to his uniquely-textured sheath and jewels, every inch of this brute is sure to satisfy your deepest, darkest fantasies."

This toy comes in four standard sizes, catering for anyone who may want to use it. These range from small to extra-large. It is not suction cup compatible, however with such a hefty base it's not entirely necessary unless you want to use this toy on a non-horizontal surface such as a wall. It is always possible to buy a double-sided suction cup, however I've never tried this myself so I can't comment on the success of this method.

I feel that this design is the most honest combination of man and wolf; A strong coronal ridge and humanoid glans represent the male element, whereas the increased veins and large, swollen knot really represent the wolf part of this toy. The large fluffy balls that make the base of this toy are somewhat silly, but they provide a lot of stability and give that little extra Wolfiness to finish off a wonderfully thought out sculpt. The details are simply amazing.

My Toy

I have a little bit of an obsession with bright colours, so when I was offered this toy to review I knew straight away what colours I'd like. I opted for a fluro yellow shaft with black balls for a strong contrast. As usual EE delivered with the coloration and the split between the two colours is clean and precise, and the pigments are lovely and true to the colours shown on the screen. The fluorescent yellow is incredibly bright, and has a slight translucency that really gives it a ghostly feel. This boy looks like he's straight out of a bucket of toxic goop!

Side note, but I'd love to eventually have a rainbow of Exotic-Erotics toys all in Fluro/Black colour combinations. So far I have Orange/Black & Yellow/Black.. I think the next might have to be Green or Blue. *Squee*

I chose my toy in Medium size, and a split firmness, something that I believe is really worth putting the extra cash towards. Not only does it make sure the firmness is right for you, but it also adds extra stability to toys with soft shafts. I almost always order my toys in soft, so paying the extra to make the base firm really helps keep them upright during use. I have a number of toys which are solidly soft firmness, and they're constantly drunk.. They never stay upright which is something that can be very frustrating during use, especially since it can case lint or rogue fluff to stick its self to the toy in the event of a wayward flop.

You can really feel the difference between the two silicone firmnesses in this toy; The shaft is Soft firmness, which is forgiving and plush and gentle on the body, whereas the base is Firm silicone, making it the complete opposite to the shaft. The balls are nice and solid and the toy stays lovely and erect when placed on a surface. For only $10 this extra feature is definitely worth getting.

In use

A long time a go I owned a small version of the toy and loved it. It was one of my first ventures in to true canid knots and I remember the struggle as though it was yesterday.. And so, in the hope of bringing back that nostalgic feeling, I decided to upgrade to a medium as over the years my capacity for toys has grown, so the challenge would be exciting and new once more.

I was initially torn between the Medium and the Large, as the shaft dimensions are a little smaller than what I typically go for in the Medium... However the knot dimensions on the Large would have been nigh impossible to insert, so I decided to go with something that I could enjoy on the whole as apposed to something to enjoy just for the size. This is something to always take in to consideration when ordering your toy; Find a balance between dimensions, even if it means getting something a little smaller simply to enjoy being able to knot it. I am terribly guilty of enjoying toys that are much too large to fully use.. But who doesn't like a challenge?

This toy isn't for those of you who enjoy depth. The overall usable length of this toy is fairly small, meaning that the initial shaft portion of the toy is pretty short. Even so, the shaft has a wonderful pop from the head and is surprisingly filling due to the way it is shaped. It has a swell around the mid-section, giving you a tiny bit of a stretch before that knot bumps against you.

Now.. that knot. The knot is undeniably large, it is a knot after all. The best way to prepare for a knotted toy is to fully ensure that you are stretched and warmed up prior to attempting the jump. If you are not warmed up you run the risk of tearing yourself due to the sudden increase in size. The thing to remember is this; If it hurts, STOP. No matter how much you may want that knot to be inside of you, it is not worth the pain and soreness afterwards of hurting yourself. In some cases damaging yourself in this way can cause you to loose some capacity as your Vagina (or Bottom) will tighten up defensively because you injured it. 

Warnings aside, this toy is amazing when knotted. It's one of the true designs that features an actual knot that you are able to tie with-- This basically means that the knot locks inside of you once inserted, and doesn't slip or pop out- and it leaves me feeling wonderfully full and stretched but not pained. The shorter length of the shaft means that I don't get the dreadful poking when the knot is fully inserted, something that allows me to grind against this toy when it is inside. Despite the shaft being thinner than what I enjoy the knot totally makes up for it. I will admit though, if I hadn't have gotten this toy in Soft it would be like trying to knot a cricket-ball. Holy-balls is this knot thick.

The balls, despite their silly size, make an amazing surface to grind against especially with all the texture that they have. Also I love having them slap against me when I'm thrusting with this toy. There's nothing quite like the knot popping in and out while those big ol' balls slap against you. Yum.

To summarize!

The Werewolf from Exotic-Erotic's certainly has me howling with pleasure. His subtle details and delicious knot keep me begging for more. Please, Give this girl the Bone!

Pros!

• Four differences sizes to cater for all experience levels
• Slender stem behind the knot to allow for proper knotting
• Wonderful combination of Feral and Human elements

And, for the sake of fairness, Cons!

• Knot may be a little much for some users
• Perhaps not enough length prior to the knot

All in all I am blown away with the service and quality of items I've received from Exotic-Erotics once more. With their super friend staff and speedy wait times, there's no reason why you shoudn't be ordering from them right now. Go!
