"I should start with an apology, because when this line of sex toys came out, I mocked it. “Hahahahaha Doc Johnson acting like they invented silicone,” I tweeted derisively. But what I didn’t realize is that these aren’t garden-variety silicone toys — they’re made of squishy dual-density silicone, and I am so on board with more affordable dual-density dildos. (“TruSkyn,” though? Still ludicrous. Good lord, when will misspelling words become uncool again?)

So, I must eat my hat. I’m sorry for preemptively ridiculing TruSkyn. While I do think it’s amusing to watch bigwig sex toy manufacturers “discover” body-safe materials 500 years behind everybody else, it can only be a good thing for consumers. Dual-density silicone has been the domain of indie sex toy manufacturers for some time, but if you want a softer sex toy without spending a wad of benjamins, TruSkyn is a worthy option.

Not only are these toys actually made of silicone, they are actually good, and I’m… a little bit giddy about it? Saving money excites me, okay?! I love a good deal almost as much as I love a good G-spot orgasm...

Who knew it would be Doc Johnson, giant and aggressively American sex toy company, taking the plunge into the dual-density silicone realm? Now we even have Blush’s Real Nude line and Pleasure Works’ firm core toys. To me, the TruSkyn toys represent more than epic G-spot stimulation and comfy butt plugging. They’re symbols of progress — look, you really can create soft body-safe toys that don’t cost a fortune, and this is a worthwhile thing to do! The country may be going to shit, but for bargain-hunting masturbators, it’s a good time to be alive."
