Look, I don’t get the whole eggplant thing. When people started sending me eggplants with a question mark on Grindr, I was the boy that responded with – “Nah, no salads for me thanks”. I just didn’t get it, and to be honest – I still don’t. So when I was approached to review a Bad Dragon sex toy called the Vergil, which very much looked like an eggplant, I had mixed feelings.

I was absolutely excited to get the chance to experience a Bad Dragon toy as I’d heard a lot about their company. In fact, I’d been on their website to look longingly at their products which I’d heard nothing but good things about. Yet, the fact that it reminded me of an eggplant… still confused me. I pride myself on my open mindedness though, and remembering all the things I’d heard about Bad Dragon from my fellow co-workers and from my fellow fantasy freak friends who I play Dungeons and Dragons with, I was intrigued.

Bad Dragon’s Fantasy Dildos

Bad Dragon is a sex toy company that makes awesome looking dildos and sex toys that are absolutely out of this world. There’s nothing like them. A quick research on their products states that every single Bad Dragon sex toy is handmade from platinum cured silicone – the highest quality grade of silicone that you can get.

If you’re a fan of dragons, all things fantasy related and you have a desire to have your ass munched on by a dragon’s tongue – like my co-worker – then Bad Dragon toys will happily lick your ass till kingdom come. I was also kind of hoping for the prestige of having the ability for when someone sent me an eggplant on Grindr, that I’d be able to turn around and send them a photo of mine and say ‘Thanks, but I already have one’. All this had crossed my mind before the product even arrived. So in my head I had built up this amazing fantasy of my new toy and I was eager to wrap my legs around it.

Experimenting With Bad Dragon’s Vergil

Unfortunately, like all good packages, it arrived whilst I was at work – so I was stuck imagining me using it for the rest of the day. Undeterred however, I tore off the clear bag that it came in and was lovingly holding it throughout the day. It was squishy. I loved the feeling that it held between my hands and with each gentle squeeze I’d stare longingly at it – absolutely intrigued. I’ve got to say – I’ve held a lot of dicks and dildos in my lifetime, but I hadn’t felt anything like this.

Being told it was a body safe silicone blew me away. I’d felt silicone toys and whilst they were awesome, they were often firm and squishy. My Bad Dragon was a squishy silicone. Initially, I’d been a bit deterred by the size, but given how much flex and squishiness was in this toy – I felt pretty confident that I’d be able to fit it.

Bad Dragon is known for their fantasy sex toys but they are also known for hole stretching. They also offer three different levels of firmness from soft, medium to firm. The soft, from the three density testers that they gave me – felt absolutely amazing. The firm disc was a little hard but it was still softer than what I was generally accustomed to when it came to other silicone toys. And like goldilocks in the bear’s house, the medium density was just the perfect amount of squish with a shape holding ability.

It was cute. I’ll admit it. The detail was simply amazing and it didn’t seem like a run of the mill kind of dildo that you’d get at your local dick store. There was something different about it. Unique. I know that the sex toy is handmade – but this whole unique idea made it that much more intimate. It’s kind of like how every guy has a dick, but each dick (might be very very similar) but they each have their own look and personality. Maybe I liked it because it reminded me of this analogy. Right. Down to business.

I stripped off. Lubed up and spread. One of the issues that I have with silicone sex toys is that when you go to lube them up, some of them can be quite grabby and have a little resistance. I’m not quite sure why – but I didn’t experience this issue with the Bad Dragon. Maybe it’s the type of silicone that they use, maybe my other ‘silicone’ toys just aren’t proper silicone – I’m not sure. What I am sure is that there was very little drag for this toy.

I was right to be worried about the size though it did take some working to get in, however once it was in the silicone did a wonderful job of remaining comfortable. There was enough firmness to keep it in, but not overly so that it was tearing me to pieces. This eggplant is quite filling – even though I received mine in one of the smaller sizes – getting over that hump in the middle was a challenge and I’m certainly grateful for the give in the silicone that the Vergil has.

There’s a delightful little pointed tip on the end of this one, which I learned was to stimulate the prostate (or G-spot). Whilst it wasn’t angled perfectly for me, I did notice it clawing its way across the walls which added a little extra to this dildo than something that was purely straight. Sure, it might not have been just right for my body, but it’ll be sure to hit some people’s spots just right.

When I’m doing anal play – I always make sure that I’m clean and body ready – the small hole in the tip (reminiscent of the urethra of a dick) looks great, it adds that sensual touch that you might need – but I can see that you will need to pay special attention here when cleaning. You can definitely tell that Bad Dragon go that touch extra to ensure that their dildos are absolutely perfect.

Whilst I might not be completely converted to the idea of eggplants, I do like my eggplant dildo having used and enjoyed it several times whilst writing this review. I love the fact that I don’t necessarily need to ensure that he’s hidden every time someone comes into my room and it now sits proudly on my shelf as one of my first reach to toys when I need some filling. Thanks Bad Dragon!
