Blush Avant D16 Review – My Sex Toy Guide

The Avant D16 Purple Haze by Blush Novelties is one of those dildos that raises a few questions right out of the box: Is it as gentle as it looks? Can it handle strap-on play? And does the soft, swirly design deliver more than just aesthetics? We spent some quality time with it: hands-on, harnessed up, and everything in between. Here’s what we found.

Key Takeaways

The Avant Purple Haze is one of those rare dildos that balances looks, feel, and functionality without overcomplicating anything. It’s soft but reliable, curved without being extreme, and genuinely gorgeous in a way that makes you want to show it off. Whether using it solo, with a partner, in the shower, or strapped in for a harness session, it just works – and it does so while looking like bisexual joy in silicone form.

Who Should Try It? This dildo is a solid pick for anyone after a body-safe, curved dildo that’s easy to handle and works well in a harness or suctioned to a smooth surface. It’s great for beginners, anal explorers, folks who prefer slimmer sex toys, or anyone who wants something soft and low-pressure that still gets the job done.

Who Can Skip It? If you’re chasing firm pressure, deep internal stretch, or a solid G-spot thump, the D16’s softness and flex might feel too mellow. The same goes for size chasers or people who prefer a more filling dildo.

You Can Buy It on the Shevibe website for $40.

What Is the Blush Avant D16 Dildo?

The Blush Avant Purple Haze D16 is a 7-inch (5 insertable) platinum-cured silicone dildo with a G-spot-friendly curve, a flared suction base, and a pastel dreamcoat color scheme. It’s part of Blush’s Avant series—a collection of artisanal, hand-poured silicone dildos designed with both form and function in mind.

Unlike realistic dildos, the Purple Haze skips the veiny look in favor of a smooth, modern aesthetic that still knows exactly what it’s doing once inside. The curved shaft is gently arched for targeted stimulation, the corona gives a bit of edge for those who love some drag, and the soft silicone makes it a great option for vaginal or anal use. It’s also harness-compatible and shower-safe thanks to a sturdy suction base – this toy is here to play, however you like it.

First Impressions & Features

Unboxing

The packaging for the Avant D16 feels unexpectedly premium for the price. As you can see in the image below, it arrives in a crisp white box with silver-embossed Avant branding, a clear viewing window, and a clean layout that leans more towards high-end skincare than sex toys. And the product sells itself – those dreamy swirls of lavender, blue, and plum pop through the window like they were made to be shown off.

Slide the drawer open, and the colorful dildo rests snugly in a molded tray that holds its shape and protects the silicone without feeling cheap. The outer sleeve lists all the key info: platinum silicone, harness-ready, phthalate-free, but it doesn’t shout. It’s discreet and well thought-out from top to bottom. Blush knows what they’re doing.

• Insertable Length: 5 inches
• Max Width: 1.25 inches (3.93″ circumference)
• Material: Purio platinum-cured silicone with Ultrasilk®finish

• Flexibility: Soft and bendy
• Color: Multicolor swirl (lavender, blue, violet)

How Do I Use the Blush Avant D16?

The Avant D16 Purple Haze fits easily into almost any kind of play. The flared base makes it harness-ready, anal-safe, and stable enough to use with a strap-on. That same base also doubles as a seriously strong suction cup, so you can stick it to your shower wall, bathroom floor, or any other smooth, non-porous surface and go to town, hands-free.

Before you do anything, though, always give it a quick wash, even fresh out of the box. Since it’s made of non-porous platinum silicone, a rinse with warm water and mild soap (or a sex toy cleaner) will do the trick. Same goes for aftercare; don’t just toss it in the drawer post-fun. A clean toy is a happy toy.

Because the shaft is gently curved, I found it works best when angled upward for G-spot or prostate stimulation. It’s slim so you can insert it comfortably without a long warm-up, and the silky surface glides easily with a good quality water-based lube (avoid silicone lube unless you’ve patch-tested). I thought the firm head gives a nice bit of pressure against my internal hotspots, while the flex of the shaft keeps things gentle, even if going hard.

My Personal Experience

I’m not proud of how fast I left work when the tracking update hit, but when you know your Avant Purple Haze is waiting at home, boxed up and looking pretty, the rest of your afternoon suddenly feels a lot less important. I practically power-walked through my front door, tossed my keys in the general direction of the kitchen, and made a beeline for the package like it owed me money.

Here’s how everything unfolded once we got properly acquainted.

Design

The Blush Avant D16 doesn’t just look good; it straight-up flirts with your eyes. That swirl of lavender, sky blue, and deep plum feels like a Pride flag melted into a soft serve cone, and I mean that in the best way. It’s playful, dreamy, and sidesteps the “this must be for girls” pink cliché. The sculpt is just as smart: a gentle curve for internal reach, a pronounced but not aggressive head, and a low-profile base that I found quite subtle to disappear during harness play but with enough width for safe anal use. It’s the kind of sex toy you almost feel guilty putting in a drawer. Almost.

Material

Blush’s Purio platinum-cured silicone is one of those materials that makes you wonder why anything else even exists. It’s ultra smooth with that signature Ultrasilk coating, giving it a soft, almost creamy texture that feels fantastic against skin, especially with a little lube. It’s firm so it holds its shape well, soft so it yields comfortably, and flexible without flopping. No drag, no stickiness, no chemical scent – just clean, velvety silicone that looks and feels high-end without needing to shout about it. It’s also easy to clean and 100% body-safe, so your bits are in good hands.

Stimulations

The Avant Purple Haze isn’t here to jackhammer your G-spot into submission – and that’s honestly part of the charm. It’s built for slower, more deliberate sessions where pressure builds gradually, not explosively. The curved tip offers a gentle nudge to the G-spot or prostate, and the pronounced corona adds a subtle pop during thrusting, which is enough to make you take notice without slamming into your cervix like a wrecking ball.

In a strap-on, it shines for teasing, grinding, and shallow thrusts, especially when paired with a partner who knows how to read your body. The softness makes it forgiving for beginners, but the design still delivers enough sensation to keep things interesting. Add a vibe on the outside and you’ve got a beautifully balanced session: pressure where you want it, softness where you need it. It’s not a power tool – it’s a pleasure tool.

Build Quality

Blush nailed the craftsmanship with this one. The Purple Haze feels like it was poured with care: no seams, no weak spots, no weird edges or warping. The base is molded cleanly into the shaft (no glued-on bits here), and the suction cup? Surprisingly reliable. I’ve stuck it to every smooth surface in the house, and it stayed put through everything but intentional removal. It feels solid while holding and even better during use; light enough to maneuver, firm enough to trust, and pretty enough to show off. This is a dildo that feels thoughtfully made, not mass-produced.

Ease of Use

The D16 might just be one of the easiest dildos to use straight out of the box. There’s no learning curve, no confusing ridges or gimmicks – just a smooth, curved shaft that glides in easily with a bit of water-based lube. The suction base makes hands-free fun a breeze, and it works just as well in a harness or hand. It’s soft so beginners will enjoy it, forgiving enough for anal play, and shaped in a way that makes hitting the right angles feel intuitive. No batteries. No controls. And no pressure. Just lube, insert, and enjoy.

Versatility

One of the best things about this dildo is how well it adapts. Use it vaginally, anally, in a harness, solo, or with a partner – this thing plays nice in just about every scenario. I also found the size perfect for folks who want pleasure without needing a full warm-up routine, and the soft silicone makes it a solid choice for folks with sensitive bodies or who are new to internal toys. It travels well, cleans easily, and won’t freak out your partner if it falls out of your suitcase. It’s also discreet enough to pass as a wellness item if someone snoops – just pray they don’t test the suction.

Warranty and Support

If we’re being picky, the Avant Purple Haze doesn’t come with a manufacturer’s warranty, which is a bit of a shame for such a beautifully made toy. That said, Blush Novelties has a solid reputation for quality and safety, and the silicone itself is so well-made you’re unlikely to run into issues unless you’re really rough with it. Still, if you like having backup or long-term protection, it’s worth buying from a retailer, like Shevibe or Peep Show Toys, with a good return or defect policy.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing

The Purple Haze is soft, which is lovely for comfort, but that same softness can work against you if you’re trying to dig into your G-spot or prostate. It has a bit of bend to it, and sometimes it flexes just when you need it to hold firm. Also, while the suction cup is impressively strong on glass or tile, it’ll lose grip quickly on anything with texture (like tile grout or matte plastic). None of this ruined the experience – just things to keep in mind if you’re planning a wall-mounted rodeo.

Alternatives to the Blush Avant D16

Neo Elite Tao by Blush

If you’re after something with a little more personality and texture, the Neo Elite Tao might hit the mark. It shares the Avant’s approachable shape and harness-friendly base but adds a glow-in-the-dark core and a spiral shaft for added sensation. It’s still soft and beginner-safe, but leans slightly more playful – perfect if you want a pleasure toy that feels just as fun visually as it does in use.

Temptasia Twist Kit by Blush

For those who want to explore size progression or use their adult toy set across different scenarios, the Temptasia Twist Kit is a thoughtful alternative. It’s a trio of curved, swirl-textured dildos in varying sizes, all made from the same soft silicone as the Avant. While the styling is more basic, the kit format makes it ideal for pegging, anal training, or just experimenting with what size and shape you like best – solo or with a partner.
