Bad Dragon vs Nothosaur

Verdict drawn from our full reviews of both brands

THE VERDICT

Nothosaur sells a fantasy dildo for about half of what Bad Dragon charges, ships stocked colors from warehouses in the US, Germany and Japan, and uses platinum-cure silicone with the test documents posted. Most buyers walk away happy. Here is what the saving costs you. Nothosaur's Hard is other brands' Medium, there is no dual-density option, defects must be reported within 72 hours, and the company is an anonymous Hong Kong entity. Bad Dragon's silicone is the best in the fantasy market, its firmness labels mean what they say, and its customization is real. Want it firm, dual-density and made by a company with a name? Bad Dragon. Want it this week for half the money and can live with softer? Nothosaur.

PROS & CONS

BAD DRAGON
PROS
Best silicone in the fantasy toy market, period
Designs that actually work, not just novelty gimmicks
Full customization: color, firmness, cumtube, suction cup
Chance Unflared is a top 5 toy regardless of category
CONS
Masturbators are disappointing — buy a Fleshlight instead
Ordering system stuck in 2015 (drops, waitlists, bots)
Expensive, especially with add-ons
Years of online drama and allegations around the company, never formally resolved
NOTHOSAUR
PROS
Prices that undercut every established fantasy maker by a wide margin
Platinum-cure silicone, with third-party test documents actually posted on the site
Stocked colors ship from warehouses in the US, Germany and Japan instead of a made-to-order queue
Real customization, with colors, three firmness levels, and suction, Vac-U-Lock or machine-adapter bases
CONS
Too soft. Buyers, bloggers and Reddit all report the same thing, and it holds even on the Hard setting
No dual-density and no Shore hardness numbers, only a proprietary 5/7/9 scale
Defects must be reported within 72 hours of delivery, and there are no returns for anything else
The company is an anonymous Hong Kong entity; the 'founded 2010' story doesn't match a 2019 domain

WHO SHOULD BUY WHICH

BUY BAD DRAGON IF

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK

Is Nothosaur a Bad Dragon knockoff?

Nothosaur sells original creature designs at lower prices and positions itself against the established makers. Copying talk exists online but we couldn't verify it. What is verifiable is the silicone, which is platinum-cure with third-party documents posted.

How much cheaper is Nothosaur?

Roughly half. A medium Bad Dragon runs $85-130 with options; a comparable Nothosaur piece lands well under that, and stocked colors ship immediately instead of waiting on a drop.

Is Nothosaur silicone as firm as Bad Dragon's?

No. Buyers, bloggers and Reddit report the same thing, and it holds even on Nothosaur's Hard setting: it runs about one level softer than the label suggests. If firmness matters, Bad Dragon.
