Indie companies have slowly entered what seems to be every crevice of our lives. They have revolutionized the gaming world, graced our pallets with bizarre craft beers, given us unique artisan pieces to decorate our homes with- and dildos. Listen, I only recently found out about indie dildos y'all, and let me lay some truth on you… they have absolutely revolutionized my toy box.
Just a Couple O’Bards
The lovely couple that design Wandering Bard Toys' genius and beastly creations are as delightful as they are artistic. I am not sure if I have ever wanted to give my money to anyone more than these two silicone slingers. Ordering a custom toy from them was easy peasy, dildo squeez-ee. They were patient, informative, and incredibly kind. The Bards were able to make articulate suggestions on both sizing, model, as well as coloration during the process of placing my order. Let’s just say, they know their shit. Whether this is your first fantasy toy or your 47th - these Bards will absolutely exceed your expectations. Each piece is designed from their magical brains, poured by hand, and delivered to you at your door in record time.
The Monster Mash
Admittedly, for better or worse, I am a sucker for aesthetics. Like many Indie companies, Wandering Bard Toys offer a myriad of custom colors if you choose to build your dildo (or butt plug!) from the ground up…which I did. A forewarning: Be ready to put your decision-making cap on, because I am talking colooooors. There are pastel bits, glowing options, and a neon palette that will blind you like the sun. The fun color combinations seemingly stop at your imagination. If you find your imagination lacking, don’t worry- the Bards will have you more than covered in that department. They are a couple of dildo super-geniuses - true story. Not only will you have the delightful issue of oodles of colors to choose from, but there is the additional option to have your toy created in different artistic mash-ups: the fade, swirl, blended, split, & marbling to name a few. What this means is you can kinda sorta make a bespoke dildo, and that’s kinda sorta crazy sauce. Gone are the days when you have to choose between vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and Pepto Bismol pink. Do you want a sunset-colored Minotaur dildo to display on your nightstand? Would you like to get rammed with the colors of your favorite sports team in the form of a dragon pene? Well stop daydreaming my horny little friends, and go talk to them there Bards about it! I can guarantee they will make your dildo dreams into a reality.
All the Feels
The small Basilisk feels absolutely *juicy* in my hand. It’s a work of art to be sure, but it is also unmistakably a tool meant for pleasure. There is a certain magic in the Bard’s soft silicone - bringing almost a realism to these monstrous dildos that I struggle to explain.
We must begin the story of the great Basilisk somewhere, so let’s start with the head- it is glorious. The bulbous tip has the perfect amount of give to be accommodating to my sometimes clenchy vagina, but also plenty of firmness to make insertion just… Jesus, dare I say dreamy?
The base of this toy is substantial. This not only makes it anal safe, but I find it to be super fun for thrusting- on yourself, or others. Even in my smaller-sized hands, the base was easy and comfortable to grip. The dense squish of the silicone made it satisfying to tighten my fingers around as my arousal grew- much like gripping your lover’s chest or back. The ridges are like squishy, tangible silicone waves lapping at my shores, giving my internal clitoris all the attention it could ever ask for. The soft and repetitive teasing texture caresses all my favorite spots so effortlessly, that the deep level of arousal this toy awakens kinda takes you by surprise. You quickly go from “Mmmm, that’s nice…”, to…whelp, more X-rated than I am willing to get for a review.
It’s also worth noting this toy holds your body temperature incredibly well, causing a delectably cozy realism while in use. I found this to make the whole experience incredibly immersive. Feeling the flesh-like warmth allowed me to detach from the world for just a moment- and be taken by my new lover.
*Remember - when cleaning a sex toy that has ridges, texture, bumps, crevices, etc. ALWAYS DEEP CLEAN! Basilisk requires you to clean after every use to ensure the elimination of any germs, bacteria, smells, yeast, or mold that could be lingering around.
What’s Your Pleasure?
I had the recent (and pleasant) discovery that my g-spot responds really well to squishy pressure once I have reached my first orgasm (thank you Sensi!). However, if your orifices require a firmer touch to obtain those leg-shaking orgasms, never fear! The Bards are a gracious, and accommodating bunch and you will have your choice of either soft, medium, or firm when building your very own monster. You can also get the Basilisk model hand-poured in S, M, L if you need either a smaller or bigger option for your perfect Goldy Locks style fit.
In Summary
After spending a whole heck of a lot of time reviewing this dildo- I honestly believe indie companies are probably going to change people’s sex toy lives completely.
Wandering Bard Toys offer so many styles, textures, sizes, and squish levels there is really something for everyone. I cannot recommend checking out their Twitter page (insert link) highly enough.
But is this toy really for you? I know I have been waxing a bit poetic in this review, but …If you are new to fantasy dildos I can say without hesitation you will be able to work with this toy company, and walk away satisfied…or perhaps more like me, fully addicted. If you are a sagacious dong enthusiast- you will still be impressed, and deeply sated. My hats off to you dear Bards, and until we meet again!
