Bad Dragon – Austin XL

I first bought Austin XL back in 2020, it was my 2nd dildo (behind Chance XL), at the time I didn’t much care for him, I had him in soft and he was too floppy for me to use effectively at the time, so I sold him.

After having a conversation with another BD fan I decided that maybe I wasn’t being fair to Austin, so when an Austin in split firmness (soft shaft-firm base) came up as a flop with a cumtube and a suction cup I just had to buy it, and boy am I glad I did.

I can’t say if the split firmness or my much more experienced hole is the reason why Austin works for me (I’d assume it’s about 20% the firmness, 80% experience), but I can tell you that it absolutely DOES work for me now. Austin’s knot isn’t even close to the biggest knot toy I own and he’s smaller than many of the knot toys I use regularly but that’s not a bad thing. I like Austin’s wide and semi-flat shape that makes the knot manageable and enjoyable without absolutely destroying your hole.

I’ve found absolute enjoyment using my Austin XL with my hismith machine and a 6.5 inch plate, I wasn’t expecting the hismith to be able to knot me with Austin XL but… it did! What an amazing experience.

I regret not buying a new Austin XL (or keeping my old one) sooner, if only to give him a fair shake vs remembering my initial experience with him from when I was a relative novice to XL dildos…

Now, if you have other knotted toys is Austin worth it? Maybe, maybe not. He has a less pronounced knot vs Rex or Fenrir and it’s a smaller knot than Tucker or Razor (and obviously Dexter and Cole but those are in another class altogether). If you have a Tucker or a Razor or a Rex and you find those easy to and enjoyable, Austin may not be worth the money but of all my knot toys, Austin is the most fun on the HiSmith machine, Rex is also good but he’s got a lore rounder knot so it takes a little more doing to get him knotted with the machine. For me, Austin is the perfect size and shape knot to use with the sex machine on a nearly full stroke length (the longer the stroke the less torque and the less likely the machine will be able to push a toy in). Another benefit of Austin on the machine is his balance, a lot of toys want to spin around and go in sideways or upside down, especially toys with scrotums (looking at you John and Archer) – Austin on the other hand goes in the way you mount him to the plate!

I paid $160 for my Austin XL since he is a flop, a minor flop that I don’t even notice so for a split firmness toy with cum tube and suction cup, 160 is a great deal!
