Axolon Nexo & Argos /w Sliding Skin & Moveable Testes - Review & Video
Sorry for the weird order of photos. For some reason, my phone didn't wanna work with me to put it in the right order lol. Photo 1 is of the Nexo, photos 2-4 are of the Argos, photo 5 is a gif of testing the sliding skin on the Nexo, and photos 6-7 are more photos of the Nexo. Again, very weird order... But for some reason, my phone isn't doing it the way I want lol.
It's been a hot while since my last review, so I'm excited to finally have something to write about lol.
I ordered these two prosthetics during the Axolom pride sale in June. Because I live in the USA, I'm used to prosthetics from China taking about 3 weeks to make it to me after shipping. Shockingly, these prosthetics were shipped out July 1st and arrived within less than a week. The only thing that took the longest was the production itself, which all-together was around 20 days (including non-business days) since it was ordered on the 11th of June. Axolom's customer service was also super kind & helpful during this process. I know that they seem to be 50/50 for others, but I personally have had nothing bad to say.
Now, onto the actual review of the prosthetics.
The Argos felt super squishy and small, about the perfect size for packing. I love the Argos' realism for the price, and I personally don't think you can beat it. I wish that adding painted details was an option for it when I ordered it, but oh well lol. Because of the small shaft, the sliding skin doesn't feel the most fluid. You can definitely pinch it, but pulling it up doesn't do the most (see photo 3). The skin also feels quite a bit thicker than the Nexo (which I'll go into next), so I think it may also be a lot more durable for day-to-day use. The texture of this packer also feels quite a bit different to the Nexo, though it's hard to explain why, probably due to its different uses. Overall, this packer is super easy to use & I think the sliding skin was worth it to me due to my dysphoria, but honestly, it doesn't do VERY much for the packer due to how small & compact it is.
Now, the Nexo, in comparison, is vastly different. To be honest, I was quite blown away with it. It was definitely a lot smaller than I expected, but I had ordered the Nexo wanting a small one for my girl anyway lol. I'm so impressed with the amount of detail in its mold. Of course, both the Argos & the Nexo shine from being life-cast, it still shocked me nonetheless, especially in the transition between the balls and the shaft. The shape of the shaft has a small downward curve at the base due to gravity, but a small upward curve at the tip. The shaft is extremely strong and, when pinching it near the base, doesn't dent at all, but it's still super soft to the touch. The tip is very squishy though, as is custom to Axolom prosthetics. Because my anatomy isn't the best for pleasure pockets, unfortunately, it still doesn't do much for me. In regards to the moveable skin, I want to say it was worth every penny. The skin is super thin and absolutely can be moved upwards by a lot. It feels almost hyper realistic in that sense. My biggest concern, of course, is long-term durability due to how thin the moveable skin actually is. I don't expect it to last long, as beautiful as the prosthetic is. Personally, it feels like a massive upgrade for the small added price and I cannot say that I regret it, even with the durability concerns.
I'd like to note that both prosthetics have made no squishing noises when sliding the skin or when squishing the testes! This was something that was really important to me due to dysphoria, and I feel a bit relieved that it seems to be something considered in the production process, as I used to have that issue with the Hyperon's moveable testes last year.
I'm happy overall with my purchase here, and Axolom continues to be a really great budget brand. I know that I usually include more pictures of the prosthetic not attached to my body in my reviews but, admittedly, I was just super excited to have them that I didn't think about it LOL. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll answer them to the best of my ability!
