Bad Dragon was born out of a strong desire for a greater selection of fantasy sex toys to be made available to everyone—and this they delivered. Established in 2008, Bad Dragon specializes in, well, dragon dildos, but also other fantastic beasts and sea creatures. Basically, anything strange, exotic, or anthropomorphic, the brand has it. Bad Dragon has made quite a name for itself in this niche and beyond. Now, the brand has even gained a cult following on the internet. But what makes it so special, really?
Making Fantasies Real, One Sex Toy At A Time
There’s something about penises and vaginas that can be boring, if not altogether off-putting. The fact of the matter is not everyone can get off to human genitals—porn has probably desensitized many of us, if we’re being honest—so it’s about time pleasure is elevated with a little more imagination. Think a massive penis but in a shining blue marble color—now that’s beautiful! Plus, no human-looking dildo will have nubs, ridges, and textures like a fantastical creature can. In the same way a stranger is hotter for their mystery, the same goes for erotic satisfaction for unusual fantasy toys. With Bad Dragon dildos, you never quite know what to expect.
Variation
There are Bad Dragon dildos, masturbators, wearables, packers, vibes, and squirts. Bad Dragon has a large selection for each category, so there’s truly something for everyone! In the very rare case that none of the toys catch your eye, you might want to consider having your very own sex toy. Bad Dragon offers custom-made toy requests—with specifications for variation, color, firmness, you name it—at a higher price.
Regardless of its kind, each sex toy is hand-poured and is made out of platinum-cured silicone.
Color
What we love the most about Bad Dragon is that you never have to worry about the color. You can get any product in your favorite color in fades, marbles, metallics, pearlescents, and so much more. Even non-fantastical persons find themselves enamored with Bad Dragon for its playful colors, making it a true sight to behold. Each product will have one natural and one signature look upon Bad Dragon’s recommendation, but don’t feel restricted with them! It’s meant to make sex toy shopping easier, not harder.
Size
When it comes to sizes, Bad Dragon comes in five standard lengths and circumferences that apply to its entire selection, with the largest size when surpassing the length of a ruler!
Please note that the length above includes the base, so the insertable length is much more manageable than it looks. In addition, price will vary depending on which size and firmness you select. This makes shopping so much easier, especially if you’re a repeat customer who already knows what size and firmness work best for you!
Firmness
Here’s where Bad Dragon sets itself apart from its other competitors. It puts a prime on firmness, acknowledging it as a make-or-break feature of a dildo. First-time customers can opt to buy a sample disc set before committing to a certain pick of firmness. The set includes one disc in each firmness—soft, medium, and firm—to see how each one feels on you. You can fold, squeeze, twist, or pull the discs to see how the material reacts to the tension.
As a general rule of thumb, it’s recommended to have smaller toys in firm, with larger toys in medium or soft. Bad Dragon also offers the option of split firmness, which allows the shaft and the base to differ in firmness depending on your preference. Split firmness varies on the model of toy purchased, however, and manufacturing limitations don’t allow for much more flexibility.
Toy Care
Because each toy is made out of hand-poured silicone, it necessitates a specific kind of care that might not apply to other toys. Make sure to get your money’s worth by prolonging your sex toy’s life. Silicone has a lifetime of durability when properly taken care of.
Silicone can easily tear when faced with abrasive surfaces—it’s best to leave the sex toy in places (and holes) that are free from any sharp objects. One common way this can manifest as a problem is by using an incompatible lube or none at all, which causes unnecessary friction. Because of the sheer size of every Bad Dragon toy, it is highly recommended that you lube up with water or oil-based lubricant. However, steer clear of silicone-based lubricants since the materials will react with one another and will negatively impact the sex toy’s overall longevity.
Likewise, it is best to store other sex toys in a separate bag, since leaving silicone exposed to chemical maters found in lower-quality sex toys makes it prone to leaching of smells and colors.
Bad Dragon Toys: So Good It’s Award-Winning
You can never go wrong with Bad Dragon’s award-winning set of toys across multiple categories. Note: these fantasy sex toys are relatively tamer in comparison to its other products, but we like to think it’s because it’s awarded for its simple but rather effective function. We’re going to pick our favorites from each category they have except for packers, since it’s not so much a sex toy as it is a prop to make your penis—existing or otherwise—look bigger inside your pants.
Out of the many winners, our best pick would be the following:
Echo
Feel the ethereal fullness of Echo’s signature look. It’s a winner of The “O” Awards with its marble shaft of white and translucent light blue on top of a marbled grey base. Echo is good for both vaginal and anal stimulation, with the curve designed to hit both the g-spot and p-spot. As the head gradually increases in girth, so, too the pleasure it brings. In fact, it’s so thick that some users suggest frequent practice by riding it for three to five days a week for your body to get used to Echo’s size. It also has a textured ridge along its shaft, making it one heaven of a ride. Just before the base, you’ll feel the medial ring that is bound to send you over the edge.
Orochi
First and foremost, know that Orochi is a Kaiju, which is basically a giant monster in Japanese film genres that’s similar to Godzilla. Orochi is an AltPorn Awards Winner of 2020. Its natural color fades from a metallic light yellow to a light bronze gold color. The star of this product is the thick-ribbed head that is almost reminiscent of an elegant waterfall cascade. Just in case you forget what Bad Dragon is all about, the base reminds you with its scale-like textures you’d typically see on a Kaiju, strewn throughout the shaft and finishes on the base. It might take some time getting used to Orochi, but once you’ve experienced it, you’ll never go back.
John
Need to work with something a little more…human? Pleasure-havers who can’t get themselves into the fantasy niche can turn to John, a semi-realistic dildo with up to no good. Like its name, John’s signature look is made for those who lean a little more on the vanilla side—not that it’s a problem! It has a peachy flesh color for the shaft and an equally as normal-looking arctic camouflage base that “simulates the look of unzipping this massive cock.” Aside from the jaw-dropping girth, John is not the intimidating type. Instead, it’s beginner-friendly for new users looking to hop on the Bad Dragon hype. Although human-inspired, John is still packed with surprises, even landing itself as the AltPorn Awards Winner of 2021.
Ika
Here’s something you don’t see every day. Ika is a majestic tentacle dildo, a glimpse of life—and pleasure—under the sea. Our favorite part is the oh-so-soft raised suckers, which can be used to stimulate the clit or to grind on during solo foreplay. Ika is one of the few Bad Dragon dildos that is great to play with in a non-penetrative context. You also don’t have to worry about its thin and pointed tip given how soft the Ika is! Its smaller size allows for easy anal play. We recommend going with its natural look, a marble of metallic sand color that glows purple and a pearly teal that glows aqua in the dark, perfect for underwater exploration. Get into the deep end with Ika, which also happens to be an AltPorn Awards Winner of 2017—the oldest classic of the bunch in here.
Bad Dragon Dildos
If you’re not yet as excited, then we’re no longer playing safe from here onwards. If the Echo and Orochi have already spooked you, then be prepared to delve into the true world of Bad Dragon, where every creature comes alive.
Hanns
Hanns is a sight to behold. It looks like a rose with its petals all curled up into a neat and beautiful dildo, especially with its signature look of pink and white marbled bulb with dark green leaves. The textured folds wrap the slender shaft until you reach the knot of the flower. The shape is perfect for anyone looking for vaginal and anal stimulation given that its pointed curve is g-spot and p-spot friendly! You can also attach a suction cup to help plant yourself on top of it. Bad Dragon promises that Hanns will quickly work its way into your permanent rotation in no time. However, one downside to this beauty is that it only comes in one size.
Nova
Look, we can’t stop thinking about the numerous ridges on Nova, and neither will you now that you’re reading this. Bad Dragon calls Nova a “tier jerker,” but we also consider it a tearjerker in every sense of the word. You’ll find yourself crying after an intense orgasm with this bad boy. It was also recently rebooted to allow for a cumtube inserted at the base for a happier ending. Nova is best felt during continuous penetration—when it goes in and out, in and out. Feel the movement after each crest goes inside you without neglecting the g-spot and p-spot while you’re at it. You can either opt to have it appear mellow with its light natural look or intense with its dark signature look.
Mystic
Here we have Mystic, a beautiful unicorn horn that’s so much easier on the eyes compared to the rest of Bad Dragon’s product selection. It’s a smooth spiral of soft textures that curves up the horn, the grooves swirl in a spiral motion to aid in easy insertion. The shaft becomes thicker until it reaches the base, serving as a warm-up for rougher play with the sex toy. Just imagine the feeling of pulling Mystic out in one go! The signature look is a bone shaft with a three-color combination of translucent pink, purple, and green that blend into each other. Mystic is also beginner-friendly, safe for anal play. and usable for a long periods of time without feeling sore or needing breaks in between. Mystic represents the best of mythical penises.
Hunter
Hunter is the most intimidating of the bunch, especially with its signature look of a desaturated blue highlight over a bright to dark red fade. To put it simply, it is not for the faint-hearted. Inserting the knot all the way in can be quite the challenge, given that Hunter is a throbbing shaft covered in several grooves and bumps to fill you up like no other toy can. The best bit for vagina-havers is that it has different textures on either side of the toy, so flipping it over makes it seem like an entirely new toy! You’ll never tire of what it has to offer. You can also maximize Hunter by attaching a suction cup on the thick base for fun at every angle.
Bad Dragon Wearable
Have problems in the girth department? Bad Dragon’s got you.
Do take note that these add-on accessories do not act as a shield against sexually transmitted diseases or infections. It’s in no way a contraceptive device, either, so don’t go knocking two birds with one stone with this one.
Crackers’ Sheath
Crackers’ Sheath is said to make you a king among shapeshifters—and it’s not hard to see why! The best thing about it is that it’s not just for the receiver, but it also takes into account the giver’s pleasure. Its studded with soft bumps and nubs both inside and out is enough reason for us to include Crackers’ Sheath in this list. To secure a snug and comfortable fit, it also comes with a ball strap. Bad Dragon also seeks to maximize your pleasure by leaving the tip open to send all the sensations straight to your own head! Both natural and signature looks lean toward green. However, you can’t be choosy with this one as Crackers’ Sheath is only available in two sizes and soft firmness.
Magnus’ Sheath
Fond of the veiny, pulsating look? Then Magnus’ Sheath is for you. This one promises to recreate the pleasure of being and asking for extra: one more bite of ice cream, one more wave at the beach, and one more moment of erotic satisfaction. Scream extra with its signature look of metallic red. Magnus’ Sheath is perfect for those whose partners are looking to push personal boundaries with its massive middle knot! Just when you thought the stretch from the tapered head was over, the middle knot surprises with a much larger diameter. It helps give that extra feeling of fullness while the upper shaft taps into all the right places. Like Crackers’ Sheath, this one is only available in two sizes and soft firmness.
Bad Dragon Masturbators
Bad Dragon has plenty for our readers with penises too.
Nix
Out of all the masturbators, Nix is a clear fan favorite. It doesn’t look very appealing at first, looking more like a rhinoceros horn than a penetrable. Go past this initial impression and you’ll quickly find out what you’ve been missing out on. Nix has tantalizing curves, with a thick tail protruding out to hold on to while in session. It’s much heavier compared to other penetrables, so Nix is best used when propped up on a surface. What sets Nix apart from the rest is that the other hole allows for group play, where two persons are positioned for pleasure at each end! Pro-tip: you can also plug the top hole to provide a greater suction feeling.
Sugar Star
If you’re looking for a quick bust or practice for prolonged stamina, Sugar Star is for you. As Bad Dragon puts it, “Sugar Star’s inviting opening won’t prepare you for the intensity of the textures contained within.” For one, it’s extremely high in texture and tightness, so much so that some users struggle to bear the sensation and end up coming as quickly as they entered. Sugar Star’s inner passage of criss-cross patterns easily puts its intensity up there with the big leagues, and without lube, it might just be impossible to enter! Plus, Sugar Star is less prone to tearing compared to other penetrables. You’ll have to learn how to pace yourself with this one.
Janine
From the get-go, Janine stands out for managing to look both normal and anything but. It appears to be an anthro dragon dildo, with features reminiscent of a human vagina, complete with a clit and labia. Compared to other penetrables, Janine is looser and floppier, but that also means it creates the best squelching sounds to keep the arousal level high. It has a delicate but intimidating plating that gives way to a comfortable sleeve. Still, you can dive right in with little to no resistance. Because Janine is so flexible, you can curve or mount it however way you like!
Which Bad Dragon Dildo, Wereable, and Masturbator Stood Out The Most?
Sure, there are Bad Dragon alternatives out there, but why settle for second-best when you can have the best fantasy sex toys this world offers? It was hard selecting which ones earned a spot in our list, we’ll tell you that much! Excluding fantasy dildos that already have legitimate awards of their own, here are our best of the best picks for Bad Dragon:
Nova takes the crown for the best Bad Dragon dildo out there—which is a big accomplishment in itself given the many fantasy dildos the company offers. Its folds and ridges are what we dream about at night, with a performance better than any ex. It has a suction cup base for a hands-free play to boot.
Few sex toys have the capability of pleasuring both the giver and the receiver simultaneously, and Magnus’ Sheath as a wereable is definitely one of them. The throbbing sensation of the shaft, coupled with the ball strap, makes for one (or many) eye-rolling experiences.
The masturbator award goes to Nix for being just right. It’s not too tight like Sugar Star, and not too loose like Janine. Its dual-use comes in handy for when you have people over, too! We know it’s tempting, but there’s no need to be greedy over Nix!
