Review: Blush Neo Elite 7.5 Inch Silicone Dual Density Suction Cup Dildo with Balls

Y’all.

I thought I knew dildos. More specifically, I thought I knew dual density dildos – which, if you aren’t already aware, are some of the loveliest, most lifelike (and body-safe) dildos out there. These beauties are made of two layers of silicone, consisting of a firm inner core surrounded by a squishier outer layer (some companies even make triple density for an even more lifelike feel, though I have yet to get my hands on one). Like pizza and sex, my experience with dual density dildos has never been bad, but there’s definitely a ton of variation in the feel of these toys, depending on the company or the model.

Frankly, I’ve never been quite so in love with a dildo – in fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever used the word love about a dildo before, period. It’s always been a bit of a Goldilocks situation in the past: just a little too big or too small, too firm or too soft, too textured or too smooth. What can I say? I have a very picky vagina. Not a particularly snobbish one, though, as it turns out; clocking in at $35, my new favorite toy is also one of the cheapest ones I own.

The Neo Elite 7.5 Inch Silicone Dual Density Suction Cup Dildo with Balls (lawd – that name is a mouthful, but I will say that it covers the most salient aspects of the toy) comes in a plastic clamshell package typical for a cheaper toy of this nature. There’s no fancy box, and it doesn’t come with its own storage pouch, so you will have to find something to store it in, like a large makeup bag or pencil case – unless you want to display it on your dresser as I’ve been doing for the past week, just so I can admire it standing tall in all its traffic-cone-orange glory. The incredibly strong suction cup on the bottom also makes it easy to stick pretty much anywhere you want to use it or ogle it.

Because truly, if you like dicks, this dildo is a gorgeous thing to behold, both wonderfully realistic and yet… kind of like if the Fantastic Four’s The Thing had a penis (which I suppose he does, in theory… and maybe it looks just like the Neo Elite, if he’s lucky). The orange color is one of the things that drew me to this toy in this first place – I love any sex toy that isn’t the usual pink/purple/blue, and let me tell you, this thing is bright orange. My partner calls it the circus peanut, and hilariously, it actually has a very similar squish and texture to an actual circus peanut. If the orange doesn’t appeal to you, though, it also comes in an equally vivid neon pink.

The Neo Elite has about 5.5 inches of insertable length and is a total of 7.5 inches long including the balls and suction cup; the shaft is an average 1.5 inches wide, though it narrows slightly toward the base. It features a bell-shaped head with a prominent coronal ridge (perfect for dragging back and forth over your g-spot or vaginal opening), and a veiny shaft for added texture – though the amount of lube you use will probably determine how well you can actually feel those veins in use, as the outer layer of this dildo is downright buttery.

The surface of the Neo Elite is so satiny and smooth to the touch; it’s exactly what I’ve been searching for in terms of feel. I’ve dealt with vulvodynia and vaginismus in the past, and while sex isn’t painful for me anymore, the skin at the opening of my vagina is sensitive and does not appreciate being dragged or tugged too much by a tacky dildo, especially when I’m just warming up. In fact, because my partner is on the more well-endowed side and my vagina often needs a little coaxing to relax, it’s not unusual for me to use a dildo to warm up before having sex, and the Neo Elite makes doing so a total dream. Once it’s slicked up with some water-based lube (the only kind of lube you want to use with a silicone toy), the Neo’s tapered head slides in easily and smoothly, quickly widening to its full girth and filling me up in the most satisfying, yet comfortable, way.

I have another dual density dildo by Blush, the Avant D9 Ergo Mini, and its surface is much tackier and eats up lube super quickly, which has always been a bit of a literal pain for me. (It’s also a major lint collector, though that’s not unusual for silicone.) The Avant Neo Elite, though? There’s basically zero drag to this thing when it’s lubed up, and as the lube dissipates during thrusting, what drag there is feels subtle and delicious, revealing more of the texture created by the thick veins decorating the shaft.

The realism of this dildo is definitely a turn-on. It looks and feels impressively realistic, and I love that it tapers just slightly at the bottom of the shaft like (most) real penises. It feels amazing when it’s in to the hilt (or rather, the balls) and I can clench around that slightly thinner part while still feeling completely filled up inside, or drag the dildo in long, tantalizing thrusts that pull the thickest part of the dildo in and out of me. Thrusting while holding the suction cup is easy, and the dildo’s firm core keeps it from bending but is still flexible enough to maneuver in different directions to target my g-spot or clit with the toy while thrusting. The suction cup is strong and mostly holds firm while being ridden, but it does have an annoying tendency to come unstuck at crucial moments, like when I’m cumming and clenching down on the toy. Even so, it’s fairly convenient to maneuver and ride.

I’ve been mildly obsessed with cervical orgasms lately – Super Smash Cache has, in my opinion, the definitive guide to cervical orgasms, which aren’t nearly as well-known or researched as clitoral and g-spot orgasms but can be the most powerful orgasms – but despite all its many charms, the Neo Elite 7.5 Inch with Balls can barely tickle my cervix with its squishy head, certainly not enough for any real stimulation. If that’s what you’re looking for, though, and want a toy in the same high quality and low price range, Blush has a similar model without balls that’s a bit thinner but has 7 inches of insertable length. There are several other models in the line with the same dual density material and different specs that will probably scratch most itches, and at good prices.

What can I say? I never loved a dildo before I met the Neo Elite 7.5-incher, but I’m a goner for this thing. I can’t help squeezing its squishy-soft form every time I pass it sitting on my dresser, imagining for a moment the next time I’ll be using it, and how… and honestly, is there any higher praise for a sex toy than that?

You can buy the Neo Elite 7.5″ with Balls from a reputable retailer like Early2Bed.
