Triple-Density Dildo Guide: Body-Safe Silicone

What is a triple-density dildo?! Be excited, because this new layer of dildo-crafting is upping the game. Each triple-density dildo I discuss combines 3 layers of 100% platinum silicone, for realistic feel & comfort. Does “more” equal “better,” though? I’ve wondered that about triple-density dildos vs. dual-density dildos before. This triple-density dildo guide will run through my new findings on the best three-density silicone dongs, and will be updated as more triple-layer sex toys come to market.

Remember that platinum silicone is the only soft sex toy material that’s “body-safe” for extended contact with human skin and membranes! Avoid non-silicone toys, like Pipedream’s “King Cock Triple Density” dongs: those are all made of TPE, a material that leaches oil and is porous enough to allow bacterial and fungal growth over time. Not cool!

Pris Toys Android Triple

The Android silicone dildo’s available in one, two, or three layers at Pris Toys: here’s the triple-density version of its smooth & gliding shaft.

It’s a gentle, forgiving creature, this Android. The surface is slick, a thin layer of medium-firm silicone so it’s not sticky; then the middle is gushier, but supported by its firm core. My Android glows with a light green under pearly white, and feels soooo slick to thrust.

The Android’s ridge is smoothly rounded, making it more subtle vs. a realistically-textured dildo with a jutting ridge. I heartily recommend Pris Toys’ work if you enjoy semi-realistic toys. The Android’s three layers combine to feel gentle even amidst vigorous thrusting or sex machine use!

Uberrime Amante

The Amante is a revised, more phallic triple-density dildo by Uberrime — vs. the older Bella, discussed next. The Amante has TONS more realistic detailing outside and a stronger coronal ridge than Bella.

The Uberrime Amante’s outermost silicone layer is softer but thicker vs. the Pleasure Tailor Triarx, next; then Amante has a super-gummy layer in the middle. The core ends a little below the ridge, so the Amante is interestingly flexible there. The head’s silicone feels especially firm, with less squishy middle, and the ridge is a strong, hard line. The Amante’s shaft is more balanced, with a good realistic feel, topped off by the lightly veiny + skin textures. Its base is thick to let the Amante stand upright! IMO, this toy feels thicker than the specs would indicate (1.8 inches diameter), due to the firmness of the ridge and the barrel-like nature of the shaft! And it is 8.5 inches total length, phew! Find the Amante for $169 here, in 3 skin tones. Tone 2 is pictured above.

Uberrime Bella Triple

Uberrime Dildos sent me my first triple-density dildo in summer 2019, just because Uberrime’s founder Marco likes experimenting with silicone. It was an intellectual curiosity for both of us. Uberrime’s also an indie silicone maker based in Florida (which seems like a hotspot for triple-density dildos?!¹), who hand-sculpts as well as hand-pours all silicone sex toys.

It was indeed an experiment with my first Bella Triple (see the squeeze here). The squishing looks really cool,² but I thought the 2019 Bella felt flaccid due to how gummy it was: like half-cocked, in a way that Uberrime’s dual-density like the Splendid does NOT feel.

Since then, Uberrime has retooled the densities in the Bella Triple Density (as well as made the dildo’s ridge less noticeable). New version seen above! Currently the Bella Triple sports a thick outer skin overlying a still very-gummy layer, while the firm core extends up the shaft but NOT into the ridge & head. With Bella being a full 7.5 inches insertable length, this triple-density dildo’s top two inches are very flexible: it’s still like a stress-squeeze-ball feel rather than an erect cockhead. The triple-density head is not balanced correctly for realistic feel. The shaft, however, is a bit more realistic and should appeal to folks who don’t care as much about G-/P-spot stimulation and who enjoy uniformly barrel-like toys. (The Bella is quite round!) It’s definitely an artistic stylization of a penis instead of a direct-from-life look & feel.

VixSkin Bronco X & Ranger X

Vixen Creations was the first maker of dual-density silicone (= “VixSkin”), so of course they have to be in the triple-density dildo game too!

Vixen’s VixSkin Bronco X came first, followed by the Ranger X triple-density dildo. See the two VixSkin triple-layers here!

I do not own one of these, because to me the above demo only showed showed a weird gummy-ness to the VixSkin X dildos rather than anything like convincing realism. In that clip, the silicone is stretched to its limits³ in a way that the material would NOT act during real-life thrusting. I am happy to hear about your experience if you own a VixSkin X dildo!

The $275 “VixSkin X” price tag makes most people hesitant to buy these 3-layers over a normal dual-density VixSkin dildo (already ≈$125). It’s certainly a gentler material, and I’m willing to bet that, like Vixen’s dual-density, the VixSkin X triple-density dildos are on the softer side vs. competitors.

Strap-On-Me Dual Density

This product’s name needs clarification: it is dual-density silicone (2 layers of silicone), but then there’s a metal core underneath—making it a triple-density + posable dildo overall. See the maker’s diagram here.

Because the small, medium, and even large Strap-On-Me Bendable Dual Dildos are not large (ranging from “very small” to “just below average girth”), the padding of the super-soft outer layer exists, but it’s not really squishy. Under that is a stabilizing, firmer silicone layer—which gives the head more grativas when I’m jerking it for G-spot play. And in the very center, that bendable core: Which lets the Strap-On-Me Dual Density curve gradually during penetration, to fit whatever hole it’s entering.

It’s a good combo for beginner pegging play, IMO, and I’ve tested it that way. It’s definitely distinct from the other 3-density, 100% silicone options here, but the posability is intriguing to me as a sex toy geek. Worth checking out if you do like nonphallic toys that provide comfortable penetration, with moderate G-/P-spot pressure.

Pleasure Tailor: *Custom* Triple-Density

I’ve loved the Triarx custom triple-density dildo. It was fun to design back in 2021. Pleasure may be experiencing more delays recently, however, and stopped creating custom dildos.

The Triarx (“three arcs”) was balanced to try to re-create:

• fleshy-squeezable (like human flesh),
• hard core (like a hard-on!),
• and an outer “skin” containing the squish. (This is the layer that dual-density dildos lack.)

It came out looking semi-phallic, with a huge jutting ridge for clit stimulation when pulled farther back. The three densities are well-balanced, the Triarx’s big ridge pops beautifully for G-spot stimulation, and the suction cup is very strong.

It does not, however, have realistic textures. Indeed, it’s got printer texture, and some drag as you thrust. Silicone lube will slick it up sufficiently for me so it feels great, but do avoid if you like gentler & slicker textures (Pris Android will be a much better choice).

And what about the most famous three-layer / triple-density dildo, the RealCock 2?

RealCock 2

The RealCock 2 line of five dildos by RealDoll is kind of triple-density. I’m throwing it in this guide because it’s technically triple-density, but the third layer cannot be felt on the shaft.⁴ It’s a very thin coat of silicone paint that does not impact the feel of the dildo.

It sure as hell changes the look, though! Whoaaaaa, that’s a real-looking dildo! If you cut off the RealCock’s base in a photo, Instagram will delete your post, thinking it’s a human dick!

I think the RealCock2s have a lovely skin-feel once lubed up, complete with all these little skin lines. I’ve loved my RealCock2 Dirk, though it’s pretty much an affair gone wrong at this point — after I got fed up with the constant irritation of how incredibly clunky the extended base + big weighty balls are.

It’s tough to thrust like I want; my wrist needed a break, so I just stopped using the RealCock 2 this year and then I fell into Pleasure Tailor’s Triarx. It then developed weird bumps, as the balls possibly burst. RealCocks, the most expensive silicone dildos on the market, are very ironically the least enduring. They don’t hold up over the years.

Another sad thing about the RealCock2 for me is that I’ve had a number of readers who, seeing how realistic is looks, do want to use it as a prosthetic: because they have erectile issues or because they’re FtM. And RealCock 2’s base is so massive with those triple-density testicles, it is tough to use the RealCock in a standard harness. As beautiful as the RealCocks by RealDoll do look, they’re not great strap-on toys. The Vac hole is best-used for mounting the RealCock 2 on a sex machine with Vac-U-Lock attachment.

Triple-Density Vs. Dual Silicone

Dual-density silicone was revolutionary a dozen years ago (ca. 2009), when the VixSkin line by Vixen Creations was born. Two layers of silicone, cured together into one dildo. The soft outside, so it’s gentle, so it tricks your brain into thinking of human flesh; with a firm core under, so it’s hard. You know, like an erection. Today, in the 2020s, every major manufacturer and their cousin in China is making dual-density dildos. But triple-density is the new emerging dildo ballgame: Who will walk onto the pitch next? It’s slow going right now; triple-density dildos are a rare thing that really only a few indie makers do, and dildo fans are curious, but uncertain about whether to get one.

Because, as I asked at the beginning: Is triple-density better than dual-density?

The big difference between triple-density and dual-density is the final third layer: the “skin” layer. That’s the layer that dual-density dildos do NOT have. In a triple-density toy, the outside is firmer than either the squishy middle layer of the triple-D toy OR the super-soft second (outside) layer of a dual-D toy.

Why? Because with really, really soft densities, especially if you’re a sensitive user, you might interpret pure squish as being somewhat flaccid. A human erection averages a 10A Shore durometer, with the tip of the head tending toward 3A Shore: that’s much harder than a 00-30 Shore layer of super-soft silicone. I know when I started playing with dual-density toys like VixSkin (Maverick especially), I thought the softness was amazing for comfort, but the ridge and upper head were just lacking a little something: a fully erect feel. I have to thrust most dual-density toys faster than the pace I’d need penetration by a human penis, if I want to reach orgasm. The climax feels fantastic, but — with most but not all dual-layer dildos — it’s more work reaching orgasm, for me.

NOTES

1. And Vixen is in Texas, while RealDoll/RealCock have recently moved to California, so, uh, I guess you gotta live somewhere pretty 🔥 to be making this kind of triple-density toy.
2. Note that triple-density silicone does not naturally move — during thrusting — like it can move in such demos where a hand is applying extra force. These are not moving-foreskin dildos, that’s not possible in safely cured silicone.
3. It reminds me of: Have you seen those Amazon dildo listings with a supposedly silicone “skin” pulled *way away* from the toy’s lower shaft? Like, how is that a selling point? Have you ever seen skin pulled away from a penis mid-shaft that far?!? I sure wouldn’t try it a penis-having partner.
4. The balls are triple-density, though: “floating testicles.”
