SilexD Model 1 Review: A Girthy Vibrating Silicone Dildo
Editor's opinion
The SilexD Model 1 is a girthy, realistically shaped vibrating dildo in dual-density silicone, with a wireless remote and a strong suction base for hands-free play. It suits people who already enjoy a fuller fit and want the option of shared control. The main caveat is the 4.5 cm diameter, which makes it a demanding choice for anyone new to larger toys.
The SilexD Model 1 sets out to do several things at once: look and feel realistic, add vibration through a single motor, and hand pace control to a remote so nobody has to reach for the toy mid-session. That is an ambitious brief, and the dual-density silicone construction is the part doing most of the heavy lifting on the realism front.
What a buyer really needs to weigh here is the girth. At 4.5 cm across it is a substantial piece, and the vibration and remote features, useful as they are, do not change the fact that this is first and foremost a larger toy. Everything else follows from that.
The good and the bad
What works
- Dual-density silicone gives a soft outer surface over a firmer core
- USB rechargeable, so no batteries to replace
- Wireless remote lets a partner take control hands-free
- Strong suction base for hands-free play on flat surfaces
- Ten vibration modes from steady speeds to patterns
What to be aware of
- At 4.5 cm diameter, too girthy for most beginners
- A single motor limits how strong or targeted the vibration can be
- Silicone body rules out silicone lubricant
- Vibration and remote add charging and pairing faff to what could be a simple toy
Buy it if
People who already enjoy a fuller, girthy fit and want the added extras of vibration and a remote, especially couples who like to share control during play.
Skip it if
Anyone buying their first larger toy, who would be better served by something slimmer in the 3 to 3.5 cm range. Those who only want a straightforward non-vibrating dildo can skip the motor and remote entirely.
Design And Materials
The Model 1 is built from thermo-reactive dual-density silicone, meaning a soft-touch exterior wrapped around a firmer inner core. In practice this construction is what gives realistic toys their more natural give, letting the shaft flex while keeping enough backbone to be usable. The sculpting is realistic and the 4.5 cm diameter gives it real presence.
Silicone is a body-safe, non-porous material, which is a genuine plus for hygiene and longevity. The trade-off is that it demands water-based lubricant only, since silicone lubricant can degrade a silicone surface over time. It should also be stored away from other silicone items to avoid any reaction between them.
Vibration And Remote
Ten modes sound generous, but they are all driven by a single motor, so what you are really getting is one strength of buzz played back at various speeds and rhythms rather than several distinct intensities. That is worth understanding before you buy: this is a dildo with vibration added, not a dedicated high-power vibrator.
The wireless remote is the more interesting feature. It lets you change pace without reaching for the toy, which matters most for hands-free use on the suction base, and it makes handing control to a partner genuinely easy. Being USB rechargeable is a sensible choice too, sparing you the drawer of spare batteries, though it does mean remembering to top it up before use.
Size And Suction Base
With 17 cm insertable and a 4.5 cm diameter, this is a girthy toy first and a long one second. Girth is felt far more than length, so treat that 4.5 cm as the headline number. If you are stepping up from something slimmer, plenty of water-based lubricant and a patient approach make all the difference.
The 6.7 cm suction base is described as extra-strong and is broad enough to grip smooth flat surfaces such as tile, glass or a hard floor. It will not hold reliably on textured or porous surfaces, so bear that in mind if you are planning hands-free play.
Care And Cleaning
Cleaning is straightforward: warm water and a dedicated toy cleaner before and after use, then dry fully before storing. The non-porous silicone makes this easy and reassuring compared with cheaper porous materials.
Because this model is rechargeable and vibrating, it is not fully waterproof by default, so keep the USB charging point clear of moisture and check the product information before submerging it. Stick to water-based lubricant, and store it separately from other silicone toys.
How It Compares
Against a plain silicone dildo of similar shape, the Model 1 adds vibration and a remote at the cost of some simplicity and the need to charge it. Against a dedicated vibrator, its single motor is the weaker point, but it offers a far more realistic, girthy body and the suction base for hands-free use.
Within the realistic dual-density category it sits at the fuller end for girth. If the extras appeal but the size worries you, look for a slimmer model in the same construction; if the size appeals but you do not care about vibration, a non-motorised version will be simpler to own and easier to keep clean.
The bottom line
The SilexD Model 1 is a well-specified, body-safe silicone dildo that earns its place for buyers who want girth, realism and the convenience of a remote. Just go in clear-eyed: the 4.5 cm diameter makes it a confident rather than a cautious purchase, and the single motor means the vibration is a bonus rather than the main event.
Frequently asked questions
Is this suitable for beginners?
Not as a first larger toy. At 4.5 cm in diameter it is genuinely girthy, and newcomers are usually better starting slimmer, around 3 to 3.5 cm, before working up to something like this.
What lubricant should I use with it?
Water-based lubricant only. The silicone body can be degraded by silicone lubricant over time, so avoid that entirely. Use plenty, especially given the girth.
Does it need batteries?
No. It is USB rechargeable, so you top it up rather than replacing batteries. Remember to charge it before use, and keep the charging point free of moisture.
How strong is the vibration?
It has ten modes but a single motor, so you get one level of vibration presented at various speeds and patterns rather than multiple intensities. Treat it as an added feature rather than a substitute for a dedicated high-power vibrator.
Will the suction base hold on any surface?
It grips best on smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces such as tile or glass. It will not hold reliably on textured, porous or uneven surfaces, so plan your hands-free setup accordingly.
