Blackfang Labs Hector & Wairu

Vendor: Blackfang Labs

Last week’s toys came from Berlin in the Eastern part of Germany, this week these two handsome brutes are coming from Düsseldorf which is in the far West of Germany.

Construction

Like all toys in this Anal Toy Special the dildos by Blackfang Labs are made out of pure platinum silicone. This means they are not only a 100% body safe unlike cheaper materials like PVC or rubber. Their surface is also super smooth which keeps bacteria from lingering and makes insertion and cleaning easy. Simply wash with hot dish soap water, rinse, dry, spray a sanitizer on it and you are ready to go again. This makes platinum silicone toys perfect for orgies. They are quick and easy to clean between partners. In order to preserve these properties they must not be used with silicone lube because the silicone oil will disintegrate the surface and make it sticky! Water or oil-based lubes are fine. So you can infuse your water-based lube with essential oils if desired.

The Cavernous Bodies and Ventral Groove Texturing Hector’s Short Shaft

When silicone toys started to become a major thing some 10 years ago the softer end of the spectrum was the most popular one. Blackfang Labs sticks to this trend with their soft being Shore 00-30 (a bit softer than Topped Toys for example), medium being Shore 00-40 and firm Shore 00-50 which is still relatively soft.

What set Blackfang Labs toys apart from other silicone toys is the coloring. DarkRat, the artist behind the toys has an extraordinary eye for beautiful fades. He combines bold colors in striking contrasts or layers soft tones in subtle fades creating some of the most amazing silicone sculptures out there. When I see his drops in Twitter , I am sometimes tempted to buy a toys just because the colors so vividly and seducing. Another specialty are multi-color marbles. They are more complicated than they might appear. Colored silicone easily blends creating mushy messes. In Kai’s marbles you can really see the different colors dancing around each other like in an abstract expressionist painting. It’s like K.O. Götz and Jackson Pollock started to collaborate on anal toys.

Wairu’s BIG Suctionc Cup

Just like the coloring the product quality is spotless! The surface is even without popped bubbles, rough areas or overly frayed edges at the bottom. Since after last week’s review I have gotten a couple messages about these frayed edges: It lies in the nature of the material to create rough edges at the bottom. They can be evened out like for example Bad Dragon does. However since you do not see them, they do not impair the functionality of the toy and if they are within limits, I am giving them a pass. If they annoy you, you can deburr silicone toys with a sharp knife.

For most of their toys, Blackfang Labs offers the option of a suction cup. Their suction cup is deep and taking up the entire base for a strong and secure suction. This is an option you should always order then possible. If riding a toy sitting on the floor for maximum sphincter and colon relaxation it keeps the toy from sliding away. If you prefer a more “natural” knotting position in doggy style, you can stick it to your shower wall without falling off or sliding down.

Hector’s Pointy Glans

Blackfang Labs offers two toys or rather tools which I have not ever played with but which are sounding interesting: First a double-sided suction cup to mount suction-cupless toys to a flat surface. This is a brilliant idea for toys which do not have this nifty feature. It is likely I might actually recommend this feature over a vac-u-lock suction cup because having a silicone foot will feel more organic than a firm plastic one. Also, it looks like the double-sided suction cup can bend a bit so it might adjusts more easily to your body movement. However, the cup has a diameter of 57mm so you must at least have base diameter of I guess 62mm for it to securely attach to making it feasible only for larger toys. Also it would be interesting to see how the different firmness degrees effect the suction and stability performance. The other vac-u-lock replacing accessory is a grip with a suction cup attached to it. This cup has a little bit smaller diameter at 54mm so will go with more toys. But even at Shore 00-50 I am not sure how usable or rather wobbly the grip will be. Yet, at 30€ each for a two-tone toy they are not too expensive. Maybe in the future I will take a look at them in another review.

Hector’s MASSIVE Knot

Playing with Hectore & Wairu

As the name might imply – at least for Germans – Hector is inspired by canine gentiles.  A husky to be precise. He starts out with a pointy tip of a bulgy circle on top of a tapering stump. The shaft is textured with two lateral bulging cavernous bodies which are very lightly textured with veins. On the bottom runs a faint ventral groove and there is a little more bulgy groove on the top. The shaft slightly tapers towards the knot.

The Intense Texture on Hector’s Long Neck

The knot is really extreme on Hector! While on other canine of vulpes inspired toys you have two or three spheres bulging out of the shaft, on Hector it is an almost perfect flattish bulge all around the body. Only at the top there is a small recess and there are two small ones next to the thick bulge below the ventral groove. While this does not sound a lot different, it changes the knotting dramatically. With spherical knots the individual spheres can be “pushed” to a side which fits the sphincter better. Also, the knot has an orientation; positioning it in line of the sphincter makes the entry more easily. With Hector is either goes in this way or is does not! This is little to coax the anus to open up. This led to many play partners underestimating Hector! In the profile the glans and body promise they will gradually open up the hole and the knot does not look more flattish than other knots. But it feels SO much more intense.

Wairu’s Textured Glans and Body

The neck below the knot is short but long enough for the anus to comfortably close around it. The little leverage in combination with the massive, dull knot means that it easily locks in place. The neck is textured with a cluster of thick grooves so there is an intense stimulation when twisting it. This is if your bottom can focus on this body part because the pressure of the thick knot pressing against the prostate if overwhelming.

The base is thick and sturdy so you don’t accidently swallow it when your hole already opened up to take the now.

The Smaller Pre-Knot and BIG Knot of Wairu

In comparison to Hector Wairu would be best described as “Two households, both alike in dignity”. He starts out with a tiny tapering glans. The glans rim is textured with pointy bumps. The shaft itself is not even half of the entire insertable length and its intersection is almost like a rounded square! On the bottom corner instead of a ventral groove there is line of pointy bumps. The sides and back are textured with scale-like ridges which have an pointy apex at the top. Yes, the body gradually tapers but through the texture it rather irritates the sphincter and causes it to tense up instead of gradually preparing it for the knot.

Wairu hast two of those. The first if what I call the pre-knot. It is a lot like Hector’s knot, a bulge around the shaft with only a small recess at the bottom. Its flatness’ effect is intensified by shallow yet noticeable ridges on the side which makes the knotting more intense.

The Neck of Wairu is less Textured than Hector’s

The knot itself is rather traditional with two big rounded spheres on the side, a medium one on top and a big recess at the bottom. So the anus can nicely squeeze the knot where it has to go. But the shaft-to-knot ratio is an absurd 1:1.7! Yes, bouncing on the pre-knot (1:1.4) helps a bit but still! The knot is texture with a few subtle veins for good measure but I doubt you will feel them in the intense knotting sensation.

The neck below has ridges like Hector yet fewer and shallower ones. Also, the neck is quite short. This in combination with the HUGE base create a lot of leverage, making it almost impossible to lock the knot inside the anus for extended periods of time.

Vendor: Naughty Fox

Ever since I started reviewing silicone anal toys, I have gotten reader questions from Europeans asking for toy makers closer to home. Ordering from the big American players adds high shipping and custom charges. Since your word is almost always my command, Naughty Fox kicks-off a little stroll through EU manufacturer which by no means is intended to be exhaustive.

Naughty Fox’s Fuxi, Aero & Santos

Construction

For years all anal toys I have reviewed on ToyTorture.com have been made out of platinum silicone – or aircraft grade aluminum but that is a different electrifying story. And Naughty Fox fits this premise perfectly. Platinum silicone is the material to get for insertables because it is a 100% body safe – unlike PVC and vinyl. It’s super-smooth surface makes it easy to take and to clean. Simply wash with hot dish soap water, rinse, dry, spray a sanitizer on it and you are ready to go again. This makes platinum silicone toys perfect for orgies. They are quick and easy to clean between partners. A minor disadvantage of silicone is that it must not be used with silicone lube. The silicone oil inside the lube destroys the material. So stick to water- or oil-based lube otherwise the toy surface will get sticky. Silicone has a base stickiness which means it attracts dust like nothing else. That’s for these toys I try a wet look to present them as flit free as possible.

The Vac-U-Lock Hole in Aero’s Base

What makes platinum silicone a joy to work with it that it comes in a wide range of firmness degrees. Naughty Fox sticks to the softer side of the range even with their firm toys. On some toys and sizes they offer split firmnesses, meaning that the base is firmer than the body. If possible I recommend getting the firmer base because it makes riding the toy so much easier. Another great property of silicone is that it takes on colors very easily. You can choose from a range of 24 colors which you can get either in solid, split, swirls or marble pattern.

Other customization options are a Vac-U-Lock hole or a suction cup. Sadly the two options are exclusive. Personally I lean towards the Vac-U-Lock hole. It allows you to mount the toy to a fucking machine, the top can guide the toy more easily but putting a finger inside the hole and there is a ton of different accessories for it – from handles to suction cups. If you primarily want to ride the toy, backing against a wall in doggy position, the suction cup is a better choice.

Minimal Color Bleeding on Aero’s Base

The build quality is en par with the big, established manufacturer: The surface is smooth, no popped bubbles, overly uneven or fraying edges, minimal color bleeding. So from a technical point of view, I can recommend these toys. But how do the perform in the ass?

Playing with Fuxi, Aero & Santos

Let’s start with the looking at the toy I have gotten the most reader questions about, Santos. What is it lately with the big interest in equine dildos?! Are horses the new dogs?

Obviously Santos is a horse dildo of the flared variety. This means that his glans is bloated and expended leading to a wide and dullish tip. Compared to other flared dildos Santos’ glans tapers a little bit and quite shallow. It is far from gradually opening up the anus but better than nothing. The glans rim is textured with small bumps, ideal for turning inside the anus to stimulate this nerve-ending rich body area.

Santos MASSIVE Flared Glans

Below the rim the glans tapers towards the shaft. Only here you can see how MASSIVE the flare is; the flare-to-shaft ratio is a massive 1.5:1! Relatively close to the glans the medial ring is already located. This had the advantage that if you are not a DEEP & WIDE hole, you can still enjoy the plopping the anus makes when bounding on the medial ring. The rest of the shaft is only lightly textured with three lateral veins and a ventral groove. Two thirds down the shaft is yet another cluster of three thin perpendicular ridges. They are perfect for massaging the anus while the flare is locked deep inside. Even at the smaller sizes, this is a pleasure only few will be able to enjoy. The medium already has glans dimensions of 7.5×5.5cm. Taking such a dully tipped toy deep is a huge challenge. So consider the sizing twice when ordering Santos. Yet, with L and XL size, you are approaching life size territory. Equine toy experience friends told me that the Santos comes close to lifecast toys. If this is your thing and you want to experience the REAL struggle of not being able to take a horse dick deep, Santos is the toy to get. Speaking of the real deal: The base is formed by two thick and voluminous stallion testicles for a relatively firm stand.

Santos‘ Medial Ring On the Left

It is hard for me to give a firmness recommendation. Being a flared toy, Santos is extremely head-heavy. In the softer end of the spectrum he cannot stand up and flops around. The firmer he gets, the easier to control. But I cannot imagine taking the glans passed the second sphincter in firm. So the trade off is between usability and takeability. While my Santos has a Vac-U-Lock hole, especially when you want to ride him on your own, I strongly recommend getting the suction cup. It adds a bit of stability and enhances handling.

So again, a final warning: If you are a true, literal hole and want the real horse deal, get Santos. But maybe err on the side of caution size-wise.

Fuxi’s Particular Glans

Fuxi is a similar story yet on a completely different level. The glans is bulgey ring around the tip of the shaft with a little cusp standing out (if you are a biologist and can tell me the right terms, please write to me). While the cusp helps aiming and anchoring the toy inside the anus, the dull and bulgey “glans” makes entry not really difficult but different. There is a slight, stimulating “plop” when the dildo finally enters.

The body consist out of four big oval and long-drawn bulges. Two very subtle veins run over them. These cavernous bodies have their apex on quarter down the insertable length. Then they taper again to the glans diameter above the knot.

Fuxi’s Demanding Knot

The knot is HARD! The spheres attached to the body are flattish so they do not gradually open up the anus but coerce it open. Furthermore the Shaft-to-knot ratio is 1.5:1 (seeing a theme here)  but the shaft right above knot-to-knot ratio is an absurd2.5:1! If you do not want your hole to get completely ravished the advice “Ride the shaft and rest a bit above the knot before knotting.” is brutal! Allowing your hole to tense up again will make the experience so much more eye-popping.

The advantage of the brutal knot it that once it fits it sits. The knot locks well into the hole and needs some force (and relaxation) to come out again. Especially when the lube dries up and the hole tightens again, this leads to an intense experience. The shaft below the knot is about one fifth of the entire insertable length. So Fuxi can comfortably stay inside for extended periods of time – if it wasn’t for the thick, round and sturdy base.

Fuxi’s Textured Shaft

It is hard to reach a verdict regarding Fuxi. Through the complex shape, it has much to offer for the eager novice. Twisting the shaft inside the hole is an interesting experience, the plop going in a nice sensation but not so challenging that it is gate keeping. Also, especially in soft firmness the four cavernous bodies will compress easily enough to go in swiftly and give a nice feeling of expansion and fullness once inside. But the knot is most definitively not for novices! It is one the top end of intense knotting! So it is a toy to grow on which will take time to reveal his full potential to a novice. For experience players who like it hard and textured, go for Fuxi! It is a great addition when you are from the school of hard knots and texture.

Finally, Aero. It is rare that I misjudge a toy from the pictures and order it in the wrong configuration. But with Aero this is the case so let me tell you about my hybris…

Aero’s Tapering Glans

Aero starts out with a nicely tapering, pointy and slightly dullish glans which opens up the anus. There is a prominent yet rounded glans drop for a nice anus stimulation. The body has a roughly octagonal shape and tapers towards the bottom. It is textured with scales that form little pointy tips on each corner. What sets Aero apart from every other scale textured toy I have encountered are that the edges are not as rounded as on other toys but as straight as it goes on silicone toys.

Being a texture junkie, I confidently ordered the Aero in firm because the firmer, the more the texture is felt. But Aero’s texture is so much more intense, especially because it is focused on the corners that riding him is a challenge and not for every day. At least when you buy him in firm! In soft he is probably a nice wavey massaging and the focused sensations on the tips will be delightful when turning him while fucking a hole. But unless you are an absolute anal masochist, I would not recommend getting him in firm!

Vendor: Bad Dragon

Your thirst for new Bad Dragon Reviews never seems to stop – regardless how many of their toys I test. But I can understand you, riding their toys is very hot. Through your reader questions you pressure me to explore awesome toys – like Vector – I would have never considered. So not sure if I should call it “Time Honored Tradition” or “Broken Record” but here it is, the (semi?)annual Bad Dragon review.

Bad Dragon’s Bishop, Vector & Spritz

Construction

The most important thing about all Bad Dragon insertables (and to also fuckables) is that they are only made out of pure platinum silicone. Bad Dragon was actually the first major toy company back in 2008 to only work with platinum silicone so they have loads of experience which echos in their brilliant and elaborate color patterns. Silicone is the perfect material for colored toys since it takes on the color really well and does not discolor or fade over time. Each of their toys comes in different color patterns and can be highly customized. On their website is a configuration tool where you can see the toy in your desired pattern in 3D with a sizing tool. Just in case you are unsure if the toy is too big. Important when choosing the right size is to consider the firmness: The bigger the toy, the firmer it will feel. You can choose from soft (Shore A2), medium (Shore A5) and firm (Shore A8 which is still relatively soft).

Bishop’s Knot with the Small „Stopper“ Bump

More important than the coloring are the material properties of platinum silicone: First of all it is 100% body safe. This is extremely important because the human rectum has a very receptive mucous lining (That’s why you get extreme alcohol poisoning when you pour booze into your ass! Don’t do it!) so plasticizers or other potential toxins emitted from low quality PVC/ vinyl toys can enter the bloodstream easily.  Besides not being harmful to your body, platinum silicone has a super-smooth surface so it is easy to clean. For cleaning simple put the toy in warm dishsoap water, let it soak and rinse it off (I take post play bath with the toys on a regular basis). For extra cleaning, spray them with sanitizer or put them in an autoclave. While we are on the topic, a word how to care for your new silicone sculptures: Do not store them together with toys made out of other materials. The plasticizers leaving the material can damage your silicone toys for good. Especially when they are made out of soft silicone, store them upright. Otherwise they get dents and creases. One drawback of silicone is that is must not be used with silicone lube! The silicone oil inside will disintegrate the toy and tarnish the surface over time. Water or oil based lubes are perfect for them!

Spritz Textured Neck with the Suction Cup Base

Most toys can be customized with different options: The newest is called Dragon Mount but is actually a Vac-U-Lock hole. If your toy can be equipped with it, get it! While especially the larger toys might be too heavy for fuck machines, there are tons of Vac-U-Lock accessories like handles out there. When playing as a top I also like to guide the toy by sticking a thumb into the hole. The next best thing is the suction cup. Unlike with other toy companies, the Bad Dragon suction cup it deep and thus heavy duty! When you want to ride larger toys, I consider it an essential because otherwise the base will slide away. The suction cup is strong enough to stick even XL toys to the bathroom wall and you don’t pull them off when you deknot. The cum tube is a controversial topic. None of my Bad Dragons have a cum tube. With friends’ toys I was able to try the effect of shooting cum lube up my ass. It did not feel so intense but added a fuckton of effort to the cleaning. However, after every Bad Dragon review I post I am getting inundated with messages from people who swear by the cum tube! It adds so much of immersion to their toy that they would never buy a toy without it. If you have never tried a Bad Dragon with a cum tube and consider it, I highly recommend buying one of their Lil’Squirte to test the effect before buying an equipped big toy.

Vector & Chance next to Each other

Bad Dragon used to make every toy according to custom orders. This led to production times up to half year. So two years back they switched their order system: On a more or less regular basis they now have drops of already made toys. Sadly XL toys are rare in these drops and I know what you ass pigs are after. Once in a blue moon Bad Dragon opens custom orders for a limited number of orders. Then you can order your dream configuration. A lot of guys complain to me that this system sucks. I actually find it a lot better than the old one since they only take as many orders as they can process in a foreseeable time so you do not have to wait forever to get your new fantasy dong. Also, I do not know when the next drop/ custom order date is! Best you follow them on Twitter or Instagram; they announce drops and custom orders there.

Playing with Vector

Not sure why, but there has been an influx of review requests for equine inspired dildos. And “inspired” is the right term for Vector because he is a cyborg variety of a horse.

Chance & Vector’s Texture

The most often question I have gotten asked was “Is he larger than Chance?” Vector is slightly taller and the shaft is slightly thicker. The base is about the same side and cannot be equipped with a suction cup. This makes riding Vector a bit more challenging. Due to being larger, he is even more head-heavy than Chances and likes to tip over in medium firmness. Usually I don’t give firmness advice but for Vector I would advice to go with medium. In soft he flops around too much and is difficult to control, especially when playing alone. In firm he is too rigid and does not bend around the kinks of your colon. In medium he is just bendy enough tough due to being bigger than Chance he is a bit more rigid.

Vector is unflared so there is just a little bluge going around the glans rim. But the glans itself is wider and even flatter than on Chance. You need a good, pre-stretched hole to open up to this dull tip. Being a cyborg toy, the shaft is lightly textured with conducting paths, very subtle bumps & ridges and shallow panels with hexagonal patterns. Much like Chance subtle veins the pattern adds just a bit of friction when riding the toy but is mostly unnoticeable. The largest rising is the quite prominent ventral groove running down the shaft. And of course the medial ring which is wide band which rises vertically from the shaft so it is more noticeable than on Chance. The medial ring sits about 2/3 down the shaft. Below it the texture gets deeper and thus is more noticeable. But still far from the scales of a Clayton or Flint.

Vector’s Cowboy Boot Base

The base has an interesting design. Instead of big stallion balls it is shaped like a (space) cowboy boot. The apex of the instep strap goes about 40mm above the rest of the base which is a bit of a challenge if you want to take Vector (w)hole. The bottom of the shaft is a bit disappointing compared to Chance. There was a cluster of this lateral veins about 50mm above the base which massages the anus when riding him deep which I enjoy very much. But since Vector goes deeper and wider it is probably wise to not over-stimulate.

Playing with Bishop

Bishop comes from the same cyborg inspiration as Vector. But instead of a horse a dog was the inspiration for this dildo. And he plays a much meaner game than Vector.

The Curvature of Bishop’s Body

The first thing you notice when looking at Bishop is the unusual overall shape: The dildo is arching backwards. So if you ride him the traditional way with his balls pointing to yours, there is a constant light pressure on your anus. The shaft protrudes and pushes against the prostate. Until you come to the knot! Unlike other knots which are located below the shaft Bishop’s bulge extends backwards. This makes the knotting experience quite intense. And the knot-massive to-neck ratio of 3:2 makes the deknotting equally impressive! And that is before you start looking at the texture.

The glans is very tame. Gradually tapering it opens the anus up nicely. But since its orientation is perpendicular to the anus openung it is a bit more challenging than other toys. The shaft is textured with ridges in the form of metal plates welded on top of each other. The shaft’s bottom is textured with 7 scale-like plates mounted on top of each other for a saw-like texture, much like Flint only shallower. The top as well as the upside of the knot only has a few large plates with shallower drops mounted on top of each other so it is a bit smoother ride. The bottom of the knot has a faint hexagonal pattern imprinted. A nice touch are two round bumps just above the neck at the bottom of the knot. They might not look big and are easily compressed. But this little added texture makes the deknotting even more intense.

The Welded Plate Texture on Bishop’s Top

The intense texture in addition to the unusual curvature make Bishops a horny toy to ride if you are experienced and are in for hard prostate and anus stimulation. Depending on your physiology the large will already penetrate your second hole. Due to arching backwards the penetration is intense. Despite not going deep and the glans tapering gently, I would not recommend this toy for depth novices. Overall, Bishop is a compact toy. He stands sturdily straight up, especially when fixed with a suction cup. So you can ride him vigorously without him accidentally slipping out or away.

Playing with Spritz

Compared to the previous two toys, Spritz is a very traditional design. But Spritz has a few tricks up his sleeve.

Spritz tapering Glans

Like Bishop’s glans, Spritz’ glans is perpendicular to the anus orientation. But it is even more cone-shaped for gradual opening up. There is no glans drop but three ridges below the glans. They are quite stimulating but also add friction so going deeper is a challenge.

The shaft is extremely, almost 90° curved. This adds pressure inside the colon but also makes taking the toy deep a bit easier. There are two thick lateral bulges on the shaft which are only really noticeable when you turn the shaft inside the rectum.

Above the knot are again three thick and high ridges. Especially the drop below the last one is significant. They stimulate the anus intensely but make taking the knot more difficult. When the knot is still a challenge you usually ride the top of the knot, recede a bit onto the shaft to rest and attack it again. But the rest phase “irritates” (= stimulates) the anus, making it tighter. The knot is voluminous but tapers softly so the knotting itself is not hard just a lot of volume. Funnily there is a ventral groove on the knot which works as a bit of a guiding rod.

The Extremely Curved Shaft of Spritze with the Two Clusters of Ridges

The neck is very short but long enough for the anus to close completely. It is a bit textured with vertical grooves which are only noticeable when you turn the toy. But especially in the larger sizes this will hardly ever happen due to the strong curvature. What I would have liked more would have been lateral bumps like Clayton’s so there is a bit of stimulation when you are bouncing on the toy. Luckily the base is massive and can be equipped with a suction cup so riding Spritz hard is not an issue.
