RodeOH Slyder Plus Wide Review: realistic dildo with sliding skin

“We love and stand by the prod­uct, but there’s no account­ing for taste,” a spicy affil­i­ate man­ag­er trailed off, star­ing into space. I rec­og­nized the glazed expression.

“You’re think­ing, ‘Ahhh, mem­o­ries,’ aren’t you?” 

Indeed, she was. She adored the hyper-​realistic dil­do with:

• Realistic, veins and a shiny pink glans
• Sliding skin on the shaft
• Movable, float­ing balls in the scrotum
• Multiple lay­ers of fleshy sil­i­cone den­si­ties, from firm to gel-like

While she rep­re­sent­ed a com­peti­tor of RodeOH, her sen­ti­ment rings true in this Slyder Plus Wide review.

How I feel about the RodeOH Slyder Plus Wide

All of the fol­low­ing can be true at the same time:

• I get turned on when casu­al­ly giv­ing it a hand­job and fid­get­ing with the “skin” and squishy tip against my hands
• It’s not only life­like but also frig­gin’ pret­ty for a penis
• I’m excit­ed about what this prod­uct means for any­one who wants a suu­u­u­per elab­o­rate­ly real­is­tic dil­do — whether they want to insert it or strap it on.
• I'm not thrilled about it in use.

The Slyder Plus Wide goes above and beyond triple-​density dil­dos and still deserves to be hyped up for how it goes above and beyond with the details. Plenty of shop­pers will love it — just not me.

Hint: if you’ve been read­ing my blog for a long time, you know how fussy I am about deep penetration.

Realistic look and feel?

The Slyder Wide Plus is a straight-​shafted real­is­tic dil­do with balls, a defined frenu­lum, and a tapered tip. Its head glis­tens with an air­brushed gra­di­ent of vis­cer­al pink if you have the “Vanilla” col­or option. Four skin tones are available.

Along the shaft are grip­py, mat­te skin tex­tur­ing and veins. Asymmetric balls and pores on the flared, har­ness­able base add to the real­is­tic appearance.

Most notably, you can grab and stretch the out­er lay­er along the shaft. Balls are also sus­pend­ed inside the gel-​like sil­i­cone scro­tum. I want to fel­late it for fun. 

Slyder Plus Wide measurements

Here’s how it mea­sures up:

• 8” total length
• 7” insertable length
• 1.6” diam­e­ter around the corona
• 2.1” max­i­mum insertable diameter

Even if you’re not into the Plus Wide specs, RodeOH’s Slyder dil­dos come in oth­er shapes and sizes.

How soft is the silicone?

I have a Shore A durom­e­ter made to mea­sure the resis­tance of soft rub­bers to semi-​rigid plas­tics, and it doesn’t even reg­is­ter the Slyder dildo’s scro­tum at times. It just says 0; that’s how squishy the balls are. They remind me of gum­my candy.

Meanwhile, the tip mea­sures about 2.5A, about the same as VixSkin’s out­er lay­er. However, it doesn’t feel as squishy in my hands as Vixen Creations’ dual-​density for­mu­la does. Why? The firm core goes fur­ther up into the Slyder Plus Wide’s glans, and its squishy lay­er isn’t near­ly as thick.

And the RodeOH Slyder core? About a Shore 15A.

Durable or delicate?

The col­oration on the glans is paint­ed rather than poured. As such, it’s del­i­cate and can fade in high-​shear stress areas like the coro­nal sul­cus or ure­thral mea­tus if you repeat­ed­ly squish, stretch, and rub it with­out lube. Take good care of it and don’t do that.

RodeOH’s Slyder dil­do skin lay­er arrives attached along the frenu­lum. Though you can move the top lay­er along the shaft, please don’t get rough with it as if pulling fore­skin up unlubed. This dil­do is well-​constructed at the price for every­thing you get but not invincible.

How the Slyder Plus Wide felt in use

It’s girthy. It has nice length. I quite like how the balls smack and the skin grinds against my clit.

And (pause for empha­sis) its com­bi­na­tion of straight shaft, firm­ness, head shape, and lack of def­i­n­i­tion didn’t always do it for my cervix. I feel like I’m writ­ing part of my Blush Avant D5 review (from 5 years ago!!!) all over again.

For stimulating my cervix

Yes, I can cum when it bot­toms me out, but only with sub­stan­tial effort and some goril­la grip coochie clenching.

It worked best when I thrust with the dil­do rotat­ed so that:

• The more defined under­side of the dil­do faced my front wall
• Its balls were at an angle — think doggy-​style or reverse cow­girl but with legs scis­sor­ing and off-center

In all fair­ness, it’s eas­i­er for me to orgasm with the Slyder Plus Wide than the Avant D5. But it's not my favorite.

I thought, “Yeah, I’ve expe­ri­enced some­thing like this before,” and when I pulled up a pho­to of the Avant D5, the sim­i­lar­i­ty side-​by-​side was clear as day. They both have this tilt­ed trun­ca­tion of the tip.

The Slyder Wide Plus can some­times feel eva­sive in my pos­te­ri­or fornix like it’s doing just enough to keep me on the precipice.

I no longer blame the shaft flex­i­bil­i­ty but rather the tip firmness:

• Its head isn’t the right shape to deliv­er cervix mas­sage exact­ly where I want it every time
• The Slyder Wide Plus’s more rigid core goes pret­ty high up into the head — like, there’s less squish than I would expect on an actu­al penis.
• There’s no way the tip is pli­able enough to yield and con­form to my cer­vi­cal fornix the way I want

I whipped out my reli­able Uberrime Aptus to ensure I wasn’t just imag­in­ing things. And sure enough, the Aptus made me cum way more quick­ly. It’s curved, and its head is scooped but well-​defined — just as I like it.

Notes for potential users

Now, there are some lim­i­ta­tions to my expe­ri­ence worth break­ing down.

Just because the Slyder Wide Plus wasn’t a good fit for me doesn’t mean it won’t be for you.

Here’s why you might still like it:

• Not every­one who uses this dil­do will insert it vaginally
• Most peo­ple with vul­vas need direct cli­toral stim­u­la­tion to reach orgasm any­way. Likewise, peo­ple with penis­es often need to stroke the tip.
• Not every­one who orgasms via vagi­nal pen­e­tra­tion alone cares that much about cer­vi­cal stim­u­la­tion.

So while the need to rub myself on the out­side might have some­times been a dil­do deal­break­er for me, it might be pret­ty stan­dard for you. For some, the stretch of a girthy dil­do and indi­rect cli­toral slid­ing on the out­side is enough.

If you want real­ism, size, and squish, the RodeOH Slyder Plus Wide might suit you. And I wouldn’t want you to miss out on the delight of such a detailed dil­do design just because of my pref­er­ences that might not apply to you. Enjoy the girth and for­get the length if you’re not built like me.

Tl;dr the Slyder dil­do line by RodeOH is among the most real­is­tic you could get for the price, but I eager­ly await new mod­els with juici­er tips and more defined curves.
