Vixen Pushin Cushins vs. Saddles: Which One Fits Your Play Style?

Quick Answer

If you want extra cushioning for thrusting and stimulation with a harness, a Vixen Saddle like the royale-saddle-f18fae20a2b02c6f34d9cd4a-46722">Royale Saddle is your go-to. If you prefer a more direct, no-frills cushion that works with a wider range of toys, a Pushin Cushin may be the better fit. The choice depends on your specific toy and how you plan to use it.

Vixen offers two popular comfort accessories for harness play: the Pushin Cushin and the Saddle. Both are made from the same high-quality VixSkin material, but they serve slightly different purposes. Understanding these differences can help you choose the right one for your collection.

In this comparison, we'll look at the design, compatibility, and practical use of each option, so you can make an informed decision that enhances your play.

What Are Vixen Pushin Cushins?

Pushin Cushins are soft, cushion-like accessories designed to sit between your body and a dildo during harness play. They add a layer of comfort and can help with thrusting by providing a bit of give. While we don't have a specific Pushin Cushin product in this catalog, the concept is well-known in the Vixen lineup.

The main advantage of a Pushin Cushin is its simplicity. It's a straightforward cushion that works with many dildos, especially those without balls. If you have a toy that's a bit too firm or you want to soften the impact during vigorous play, a Pushin Cushin can be a great addition.

• Consider a Pushin Cushin if you want a simple, versatile cushion for various dildos.

What Are Vixen Saddles?

Saddles, like the Royale Saddle, are specifically designed to work with Vixen dildos that have no balls. They add a soft cushion for thrusting and stimulation, and they're held in place by your harness. The Royale Saddle measures 3 1/2 inches wide and is made from VixSkin, the same platinum silicone used in many Vixen toys.

The key difference is that Saddles are built with a specific fit in mind. They're designed to sit securely between your body and the toy, providing a stable and comfortable interface. This makes them ideal for longer sessions or when you need extra cushioning without sacrificing control.

• Saddles are best for toys that are compatible with harness systems and have no balls.

Key Differences at a Glance

The main difference lies in their intended use. Pushin Cushins are more versatile, working with a broader range of toys, while Saddles are tailored to specific Vixen dildos. Saddles also tend to have a more defined shape, which can provide better stability during thrusting.

Another factor is the width. The Royale Saddle is 3 1/2 inches wide, which gives a generous surface area. This can be beneficial if you're using larger dildos or want more even pressure distribution. Pushin Cushins may vary in size, so it's important to check compatibility with your specific toy.

• Measure your dildo's base to ensure a good fit with a Saddle.

Trade-Offs to Consider

• Versatility vs. Specific Fit: Pushin Cushins are more versatile, working with many dildos, while Saddles are designed for specific no-ball models, offering a more tailored fit. Choose a Pushin Cushin if you have multiple toys; choose a Saddle if you have a specific Vixen dildo that it matches.
• Stability vs. Simplicity: Saddles provide a stable, secure fit during thrusting, while Pushin Cushins are simpler and may shift more during vigorous play. If you prioritize stability, go with a Saddle. If you prefer simplicity, a Pushin Cushin may suffice.
• Compatibility with Balls: Saddles only work with dildos that have no balls, limiting their use. Pushin Cushins can be used with a wider range, including toys with balls. If you own toys with balls, a Pushin Cushin is the safer bet.

Product Facts

• Royale Saddle: Our classic Royale Saddle will work with any of our toys listed under the category of "Dildos" (only the toys with no balls) to add soft cushion for thrusting and stimulation. Made from our famous Vixskin. Measures 3 1⁄2 inches wide. Goes between your body and the toy and held in place by your harness. This means the Royale Saddle is a versatile option for many Vixen dildos without balls, providing extra comfort and stability during use.
• Goodfella: 5" x 1-1⁄2" Sporting realistic 3D balls that are designed to hang in front of the harness or joque! No more bruises from those O-rings and snaps. Goodfella was also designed as a packy and pack-n-play. If you're using a dildo with balls like Goodfella, a Saddle may not be compatible. Instead, consider a Pushin Cushin or use the toy's built-in features for comfort.

Which One Fits Your Play Style?

Best For

• People who use Vixen dildos without balls and want extra cushioning for thrusting.
• Those who value a secure, stable fit during harness play.

Not For

• People who primarily use dildos with balls like Goodfella, as Saddles are not compatible.

In the end, the choice between a Vixen Pushin Cushin and a Saddle comes down to your specific toys and preferences. If you want a versatile cushion that works with many dildos, go with a Pushin Cushin. If you have a no-ball Vixen dildo and want a stable, comfortable fit, the Royale Saddle is an excellent choice. Consider your collection and play style to make the right call.
