Oxy Alien Nest Dildo – Test & Review

Did I enjoy using the Alien Nest Dildo?

The Classic Alien?

Design Flaws

My Thoughts on the Design

I think the design is headed in the right direction, but it still has a ways to go. I can see how each of the elements are trying to contribute to this alien fantasy. First, they need to rethink the spiral. Perhaps they add some grooves or recesses or strange bulges at different points of the spiral, anything to push it closer to a more unsettling, inscrutable quality. The base is also bulkier than it needs to be. The whole base doesn't fit comfortably in one hand, something that other toys don't have an issue with. Combined with the protrusions, it hampers the functionality of the toy.

User-Friendliness: A Deep Dive into the Alien Nest Dildo

How easy it is to use depends on what you want to do. If you want to squat over it on the ground, the suction cup does a good job of keeping it anchored. It is more difficult to hold in one hand if, for example, you wanted to lie down. I also think, especially compared to other toys that claim to be tentacles, that the tip is rather blunt. It gets mostly as wide as it's going to in the span of half an inch. I recommend warming up with a narrower toy if you find it difficult to penetrate.

The Alien Nest Dildo: Quality vs Expectation

The toy holds up really well. The material is solid and the colors are particularly vibrant. It shows no sign of degradation anywhere. There are no seams from the mold. Even the suction cup is incredibly reliable. You could probably use it to hang a whiteboard if you wanted. There might be other issues, but the quality is great.

The Price of Alien Nest Dildo

At $40, it undercuts most other fantasy toys. I would rate it higher, but if you ignore the fantasy element of it, you could get a very similar experience for cheaper with some anal beads. If the alien theme means enough to you to spend more, I'm not sure this the best returns per dollar for everyone. This toy sits in that middle ground of not being the most cost effective option for the purely physical experience and not spending enough effort on the aesthetic experience to justify a lot of money. I think its price reflects that pretty well.

How I think the Alien Nest Dildo performed

While the website never directly promises a whole lot, I think there are plenty of implied promises. The listed length of the toy is deceptive; the usable length is noticeably shorter. The suction cup works amazing, but the toy isn't flexible enough to capitalize on it. The ridges sure look like they should do something at first glance, but they might as well not be there at all. The spiraled bumps, at least, feel as great as they look.

Is the Packaging Worth the Hype?

This is the most nondescript packaging I've ever received a sex toy in. The Alien Nest Dildo came in a featureless plastic bag, in a standard brown box. It's not bad. The packaging did what it needed to do. I give them props for being super discreet, too. I don't think it's necessarily a strike against Oxy, but when so many other sites take this opportunity to make an impression, it's a little weird. It's the same kind of weird I felt reading the description on their site. They don't want to care too much, or something. They did give me a little business card with a coupon though, just sitting on the bottom of the box.

Material and care guide

The Alien Nest Dildo is made with body-safe, non-porous silicone. Oxy calls it "Better Than Real Skin" material. It seems heavier and more rigid than other silicone toys, but the care is the same. It's easy enough to clean with warm, soapy water, and you should only use water-based lubricants. Store it in a dry place, and be careful which other toys you store it with. It does not come with its own storage bag.
