The sex toy enthusiasts over at Exotic-Erotics have carved out quite a niche for themselves in the sex toy market. They specialize in making live-cast silicone dildos, which means that they make incredibly realistic dildos that look exactly like animal penises – and even some fantasy animals like dragons, werewolves, and unicorns. Before you think that animal dongs are meant only for furries – Exotic-Erotics’ silicone dildos can be entirely customized to fit your preferences – including the size, shape, firmness, and color – all with incredibly realistic hand-crafted casts. As a sex toy enthusiast, finding the perfect toy can be a daunting task – but Exotic-Erotics’ complete customization puts them ahead of all the competition, and in my opinion, makes them the top notch manufacturer for custom, realistic toys.

When I looked through their website – the Hippocampus stood out among the rest. It’s beautifully textured with a gradual progression to it’s larger girth – and it just happens to be named after my favorite parts of the brain. Or wait, is it? Turns out… the Hippocampus is actually named after a mythical seahorse… and the brain region is named after that. Even so, I think I’m a convert to the world of Exotic-Erotics‘ fantasy-cast dildos. The detail and texture is gorgeous – with a plushy and squishy high-quality silicone that gives a pleasurable sensation unlike any toy I’ve tried. If you love texture or simply crave a unique addition to their toy line, I would beyond highly recommend Exotic-Erotics’ Hippocampus.

Texture & Design

The texture and design of the Hippocampus are truly unique and incredibly pleasurable. Exotic-Erotics has a stunning attention to detail that cannot be overlooked. If this mythical creature were to exist and have a penis, they truly nailed it – and probably surpassed it – with gorgeous artistry and perfect casting. If it weren’t so clearly a sex-toy, it’s something I’d keep out as an art piece. It just looks so cool. But, it feels even better. The Hippocampus begins with a soft pointed tip, with a small indent designed to mimic a urethra. Perfect for easing it into yourself without difficulty. It’s incredibly life-like with a bulging head that morphs into waves that cascade along the top, designed for extra pleasure. The waves are pronounced enough for pleasurable sensation, but not so large that they hurt my pubic bone. The shaft gradually gets larger, with a few ridges along the top, and scale-like bumps along the bottom of the shaft. There are even a few gentle ribs along the bottom of the shaft, and a pronounced center ridge that mimic the vein in real penises. It’s truly a life-like wonder, and it’s beautiful, and feel great. I have literally no complaints (super rare for me, I know). The Hippocampus is also slightly curved. Usually, curved toys give my g-spot a good pounding – but this toy’s pointed tip gives my g-spot more of a teasing tickle, making me want to thrust harder and faster to experience all the sensation. I’ve never been so teased by a dildo – and I love it!! The more you work this dildo, the more it pleases you… though even if you’re not into fast thrusting for g-spot pleasure, the texture alone is worth the ride.

I’m very glad to have the tinier travel-sized Hippocampus, rather than the relatively larger “Small”, so that I can experience all the textures without feeling too “full” or having the horrible dilemma of a dildo not even fitting. For me, it’s really the perfect size – a length and girth that makes it easy to use and pleasurable to thrust without being overwhelming, uncomfortable, or painful. They nailed it with the travel-size. It also has a flared base, which makes it harness compatible and easy to hold onto while thrusting. This girth is an easy fit for most O-rings, but I can imagine you may have some trouble with the larger sizes fitting a harness properly. It’s also totally a-ok for anal play if that’s your thing – and this size is perfect for me, though any larger and I’d need to have a serious pep-talk with myself before giving it a try. The travel size will soon be labeled the “Small” and won’t be available until June – but you can write them and let them know you’re interested! Accordingly, the current “Small” will become the “Medium”, and etc up to extra large. More on size below!

 

Material

Exotic-Erotics uses a high-quality, medical grade, platinum-cure silicone. This material is 100% body safe, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, phthalate free, odorless, and tasteless… my absolute favorite material for a sex toy! I chose the medium firmness silicone – soft, pliably, and luxuriously plushy – though still firm enough to feel each and every texture and curve, and perfect for thrusting. It feels truly life-like, with a skin-life texture and shocking realness. If harder toys are your style though, you can request a firmer silicone when you order. The silicone has somewhat of a matte texture, giving it a little drag once inserted, but nothing a good water-based lube can’t fix. (Remember to never use silicone or oil based lube with silicone toys!)

Like other silicone toys, the Hippocampus can be cleaned simply before and after every use with antibacterial soap and warm water. If you’re looking for a deep clean (especially if sharing between partners) this silicone is dishwasher safe and boil-able. If boiling, allow to boil in a pot for 3-5 minutes. Don’t use alcohol on silicone toys, as it could degrade the material. A handy toy-care card will be included with the dildo, along with a handy pouch for storage!

So Many Options

Whether or not the Hippocampus is on your to-do list as much as it was on mine, Exotic-Erotics has an incredible selection of dildos that can be infinitely customized to fit your fantasies and desires. They make:

  • Lifecast Toys – Created from casts of real, live animals (and humans). 100% lifelike, including every bulge, wrinkle, vein, and bump.
  • Animal Toys  Hand-scultped or 3D printed dong replicas of animals that are too wild to cast live.
  • Fantasy Toys – Mythical creatures, beasts, and monsters brought to life in the form of a dildo.

Colors

Each of these toys can be modeled with silicone in over 20 colors, including glow in the dark and florescent colors that change under black light. If you have a request for a color not listed, they can probably still make it happen for you. Some dildos come in a single color, while others can have 2 colors (one for the shaft, one for the base) or a tie-dye swirl throughout the toy. If you’re not super creative (i.e.: me) or would rather have it as realistic as possible, you can choose to have “natural markings” – which makes your toy as it would appear in the wild or mythology.

Firmness

You can also choose your firmness, to fit your body’s preferences. My firmness for the Hippocampus was medium – which was plushy, pliable, and perfectly comfortable while still giving a pleasurable textured feel. It’s also the most popular. The soft firmness has much more give, but may be too soft to feel the fine textures. The hard texture is supposedly much rougher, with very little give, a lot of texture, and recommended for advanced toy enthusiasts. You can also get a dual-firmness, with the head or shaft softer for easy insertion, and the rest firmer for easy thrusting.

Size

You also get to choose the size – small, medium, large, and OH MY GOD HOW WILL THAT EVER FIT. If you’re a size queen, you may have just met your match. I’m glad that Exotic-Erotics sent me their new “small” version (about to be released in June) so that I could have a bit of warm up before moving on to the medium. In June, they will be re-doing their sizes to accommodate this smaller size. This size will soon be labeled the “Small”, and the current “Small” will become the “Medium”, and etc up to extra large. For the Hippocampus, the sizes are as follows:

Finally, you can even choose to have it made with a suction cup base, which I totally recommend. Though this little travel size doesn’t have the suction cup, my larger Hippocampus does – and it’s an incredible, unique addition that can make your experience totally hands-free, and can bring a TON of variety to your masturbatory routine (if you have one).Remember, this particular “travel size” won’t be available ’til June.

Design

You also can get a storage bag for no additional charge. I wish every manufacturer was so awesome to include that!!

Get Yours

Now that you know each and every customization option, head over to Exotic-Erotics and create the dildo of your dreams. Seriously, it’s worth it! With proper care, these dildos are designed to last a lifetime – and with your pre-selection of options, you’ll be sure to get a dildo you’ll love for just as long. If the Hippocampus seems right for you, I would wholeheartedly recommend it. Even if fantasy or animal dildos aren’t your style (hey, I honestly didn’t think it was mine) you can get an incredible uniquely textured dildo that will stand out among the rest, and serve as a conversation piece at your next girls night in. Unusually shaped dildos are the new black – except more textured, versatile, and sensation-able than our closed minds could ever comprehend. At the end of the day, the fact that it’s molded after a horse, dragon, sea monster, or whatever really doesn’t matter… it’s the texture, quality, and pleasure that counts… and Exotic-Erotics nailed it!

 Thank you, Exotic-Erotics, for letting me review this INCREDIBLE toy!
