The Spiked Parachute from Regulation

Vendor: Regulation

Sometimes weird things happen at ToyTorture.com: Following last week’s review of the Tenderizer Paddle, I have gotten a message asking if I have played with the Spiked Parachute from Regulation. Since this toy has been in my toy chest for it feels like forever, I went to my website to copy the review link for my reply. But it turns out: I actually have not yet reviewed this toy! It also turns out that I have some CBT gear from Regulation that I have not reviewed yet, a mistake I will soon correct!

Construction

This toy starts out as a standard parachute design. The double layer leather body is 5cm wide and is close by two snap buttons. There are two sets of male buttons so you can choose between either 2.5cm or 3cm diameter for size of the hole which goes around the neck of your balls. Through rivets three chains are attached to the body which come together in a ring that is large enough to house most tool carabiners. As the name says 24 sets of 5 spikes on the inside set this parachute apart from the tamer versions.

Playing with the Spiked Parachute

I have to be honest when I first unpacked this toy I was skeptical: The leather was a bit stiff and the ring to which the chains connect was not welded. But my worries were unfounded: Despite hanging a LOT of weight onto the ring it didn’t open up. This was also a good test for the snap buttons that even under large physical stress of a wiggling bottom or large amounts of weight swinging on them didn’t give in. And after some leather conditioner and warmth the leather of the body softened.

The Anchor Ringer of the Spiked Parachute

This toy works like every other parachute but just with a little interesting twist. Unlike normal parachutes this one works without attaching something onto it. Just put it around the subs balls and let him walk. The movement and friction around the parachute created by the moving legs is enough to cause the spikes to make an impression. Depending on the duration and the amount of movement this can be anything between annoying to agonizing. When you use this toy like a normal parachute a bit of caution is advisable. While the spikes should not break the skin they intensify any draft induced sensation. Usually subs enjoy the moving momentum of weights swinging from their balls but with this toy the added sting can become excruciating after some time. This effect is even more interesting when you tie the parachute just tight enough to a spread bar that the chains are taut. As soon as he starts to move the spikes will dig into his scrotum so he has to calm himself despite the pain in order to make it go away. This is especially fun when you tie the parachute to nipple clamps that will stick to the nipple even when wiggling a lot. The loop of induced sensation is phenomenal.

The Two Rows of Piercing Spikes

I had the most fun with this in a CBT competition with two subs: They had to choose a parachute by just looking at the top. One got a normal one, the other this spiked one and taking turns they had to endure the same strength of stimulation like amount of weight, weights dropping from a certain high until someone safeworded who then received a punishment that the other one determined in advance believe it was for himself (I know I can be evil at time).

Conslusion: Innocent looking toy with an evil twist.
Pro Cons Where to get Price
Spikes enable wide range of sensations from annoying to agonizing Leather is a bit stiff at first Regulation £32.99
Strong enough to deal with relatively large amount of physical force

Tenderizer Wooden Paddle

The Tenderizer Paddle

Vendor: Regulation

Construction

Like many paddles, the paddle’s body has an obround shape that flows into the handle. The body is 90mm wide and 160mm long. While one side is smooth, the other is textured with 9x9mm pyramids that are 4.5mm tall. The handle’s grip area is 115mm long and 33mm wide. At the bottom of the toy the handle flows into a little bulge for a secure grip even in heavy scenes. In the middle of this bulge there is a small hole for a brown leather thread that forms a loop, either for storing the toy or securing it around the top’s wrist.

All edges on this toy have been painstakingly rounded so the toy lies and feels great in the hand. It is made out of a medium brown, light wood. The surface has been carefully sanded yet you can still see and feel a bit of the wood’s grain. To increase this effect the Tenderizer has no clear coating like other wooden impact toys but has been oiled for beautiful, rich and natural surface texture. At 185g the paddle is quite light for a wooden paddle. This is lighter than all aluminum paddles in my collection…

Detail of the Textured Paddle Side

Playing with the Tenderizer Wooden Paddle

… and you can feel that! The pain sensation leans heavily towards sting. The product description promises thud when using the plain side. When lightly tapping and carefully warming up an impact area, there is a bit of light thud. But as soon as you are spanking light you are meaning it, this sensation quickly turns into lightning sharp sting! Hitting completely parallel to the body and with exactly the same force, this side is actually stingier than the textured one.

Like with all textured impact toys, finely dosing the kinetic energy is key to unlocking the true potential of this toy. This starts with sensation play by letting the toy travel over the sub’s body. With almost no pressure, the slight stickiness and abrasion creates a very faint scratching and tingling sensation that depending on the sub will give him goose bumps or send them into a laughing fit. Increasing the pressure can end up with a serious scratching sensation without breaking the skin but maybe some red marks.

The well rounded handle with the Leather Loop

When switching to swinging and hitting, keep in mind that the textured side is not made for warm-up; use the plain one for that. With light to medium tapping the little spikes create a tingling sting. As written above, I was surprised by the intensity of heavier blows. Usually texture on impact toys increases the pain sensation because the air between the paddle and the skin forms a dampening cushion that can escape between the texture’s gaps. Surprisingly this effect is compensated by the material properties of wood: The pyramid tips have rather rounded and flattish tips so the sting is moderated. Until you start to move the paddle in the impact moment. Dragging the texture over the skin while the kinetic energy drives it into the body is stingy! Add to that the “coarse” wood and you have a devilish combination many of my pain pigs enjoy.

The smooth backside of the paddle

One word of warning when playing heavily with this toy: Wood is a higher maintenance material than rubber and aluminum. It is hard to sanitize because it absorbs a bit of the tissue fluid and since it has no clear coating, blood will stain it. So if you play really hard, do not only spray a sanitizer on it but let it lay in the sun for a few days before using it on someone else (alternative: use a UV sanitizer some of you might have bought during the Covid crisis). To keep the paddle as beautiful as it is, I recommend oiling it with olive oil (or a wood oil of your choice) every 6 to 12 months depending on how often you use it. This might alter the wood color and give the toy patina but ultimately it will turn a random paddle into YOUR paddle.

That being said at least for me the feeling of warm, grainy wood in the hand makes up for this work. The handle feels and fits like worry stone. For me as a top there is something sensual in holding a beautiful made, open-grain piece of wood in my hand and playing with it.

Conclusion: Beautifully made wooden paddle for sensations between a laughing fit and lightning-sharp sting.
Pros Cons Where to get Price
Wide range of sensations (though hard to get thud out of it) Being made out of wood difficult to clean and sanetize Regulation £39.99
Small, lightweight and nimble for delicate spankings without tiring the wrist
Excellent overall fit and fell

Vendor: Organotoy

Construction

Humphrey starts out with a little bit dullish glans like on a realistic dildo. It even features an implied piss slit. The glans rim is already the maximal diameter of this toys.

The Organotoy Humphrey in Dark Rainbow

The slightly convex shaft has an about 10% smaller diameter. But it is textured with bumps all over. Left and right of the shaft run a small vein-like groove which separates the bottom with shallower bumps from the top with deeper bumps.

The base is thick and sturdy for an exceptional secure stand even when riding the dildo HARD! For an additional 10€ the base can be equipped with a vac-u-lock hole. This hole in combination with a vac-u-lock handle is a great addition when you want to fuck somebody lying in a sling in front of you because the big base is a bit cumbersome. Testees have reported that despite the weight my large Humphrey also works well on fuck machines so I am taking their word for it.

Humphrey’s Massive Base

Speaking of customization, this is of course the piece de resistance of Organotoy which are masters of turning platinum silicone into insertable fantasies. Firmnesswise, you can choose between an ultra squishy Shore 00-30 which will most likely not stand up almost metal firm A30 which will turn the bumps into a cheese grater. The same applies to colors which range from solid ones over fade and marble, mica effect colors with UV and Glow in the Dark capabilities up to custom airbrush designs. My large Humphrey has the color called “dark rainbow” which looks a bit like Tahiti pearls and I like it a lot!

Finally, Humphrey comes in four sizes.

Size Max. Head Diameter Insertable Lenght Overall Length
S 50mm 120mm 140mm
M 62mm 170mm 195mm
L 80mm 230mm 280mm
XL 110mm 300mm 370nn

The Dullish Glans

Playing with Humphrey

The Humphrey is not a beginner’s toy or a toy to begin a scene with. The bluntish glans makes the first penetration intense! A good pre-stretch is highly recommended to make the sphincter open up when this brute knocks on the door.

The is not much space below the glans rim so the sphincter cannot rest and get used to the stretch of the glans. If you are not careful the massive stretch transits directly onto the coarse shaft. Depending on the shaft firmness and the riding speed it is either a gentle message or an agonizing torment. But despite raising high they are rounded and smooth enough to never pose a injury threat, even when they are VERY firm. Because the bumps on the bottom are shallower than on the top, the most fun my testees and I had was when a top was controlling the Humphrey and twisted it inside the rectum. This way the top can decide of the prostate gets massaged with the easier or more challenging side.

The Deep Texture with the Ventral Groove

Due to the large and massive base this toy is also good for solo play. It will not move or topple down. The slight convex shaft presses the toy towards the prostate. With a bit of training you can learn how to maneuver the massive glans in the right direction to best apply pressure on the prostate for an intense stimulation. For this I would have wished for a larger gap between the glans and the shaft texture to really lock the toy in place and play with the ridge for stimulation purposes.

But this is only a minor point of criticism. The main event of the Humphrey is its textured shaft where it shines. A friend is considering getting it in split firmness with a softer glans to go in easier and a firmer shaft for more stimulation. Though be warned: Too firm bumps can turn your moans of ecstasy into quite different screams…

Where to buy?

Like all Organotoy products the Humphrey is sold exclusively at their website. Other the high degree of customization would not be possible. The price start at for a simple single color Small one at 29.96€ and the XL starts at 249.96€. Naturally depending on your color, firmness and accessory wishes the sky is the limit.

The ElectraStim ElectraClamp with the Storage Bag

Vendor: ElectraStim

Over four years ago I reviewed the original ElectraStim Bi-Polar Soft Genital Clamp. Back then it was the only (yes, I am ignoring just stingy and painful one E-Stim Systems used to make for a good reason) bi-polar clamp on the market. For liability and design reasons it was marketed as a “genital clamp”. The large opening and low spring power made it hard to attach to nipples. This in combination with the domed clamp tips made the grip on firm surfaces like a hard dick or glans was mediocre. But as stated, there were not bi-polar clamps so I gave them a pass. Until now!

Construction

As the name already implies, the ElectraClamp is a (nipple) clamp for e-stim play. It is made out of a black shiny polymer. The wings have a bit of an asymmetrical design with the oval grip side being large at 30x20mm. This side is textured with ridges for a secure grip even with sweaty and a bit lubey hands. At the back of these areas you can find sockets the 2mm pin leads.

Detail of the Textured Grip Area

The clamp’s two wings are connected by a polymer screw. This prevents unwanted connection of the two channels. It also enables the usage of a cloth pin metal spring which is both sturdy, durable and delivers a strong enough spring power.

The most important part of the clamp is of course the grip surface. On this one it is an oval 15x10mm piece of firm conductive silicone. For added grip it is textured with small grooves. Unlike other manufacturers who only use conductive silicone in sheet form, the contact area is 2mm thick so it has some mass.

The ElectraClamp comes in a small cloth bag for storage.

Playing with the ElectraClamp

The clamp opens 22mm wide, making it wide enough for nipples, the frenulum or the perineum skin (which is not like direct prostate stimulation!). On this model, the spring power in combination with the larger, flat and textured contact area make the grip secure enough even for small, sweaty male nipples. In the unlikely case that the nipple slips anyway, simply tug a bit more skin between the wings.

Detail of the Conductive Contact Area of the Clamp

Of course, for liability reasons ElectraStim has to say that this clamp is only for usage below the waist. If you use this clamp in a single channel e-stim power box, you can safely attach the clamp to a nipple because the currency only flows between the two conductive areas. If you use more than one clamp on a body or attach electrodes that use the second channel of a power box, make sure that:

  • Both channels of the power box are completely isolated! Otherwise currency can flow between the electrodes and if placed above the waist can lethally effect the organs!
  • Make sure that both poles of a channel go into the same electrode! Otherwise currency will flow between the electrodes.

Naturally, compared to other electrodes clamps have relatively small and low-mass poles. Despite this physical limitation the ElectraClamps manages to produce a relatively smooth and pleasurable stimulation, depending on the power box. Of course, they can also sting as hell if you crank up the box!

Detail of the Lead Socket

ElectraStim recommends putting conductive lube on the contact area. For this review I used conductive lube from ElectraStim, E-Stim Systems and MyStim as well as Swiss Navy water-based lube (my go-to lube for anal electrodes). All of my testees agreed that the conductivity only improved minimal at best. The skin especially in combination with sweat is conductive enough for a pleasurable stimulation.

Coming back to the beginning of this review: When ElectraStim introduced the ElectraClamp they phased out the Bi-Polar Genital Clamp. For good reason, because the ElectraClamp is clearly the superior clamp – if you don’t want to put it on a dick or the balls. But frankly, there are better electrodes for this use scenario.

Conclusion: Best e-stim clamp available today.
Pros Cons Where to get Price
Large and thick conductive area for smooth stimulation ElectraStim £49
Secure grip on body parts
Good grip on wings to operate even with slippery hands

Fetters Heavy Leather Flogger

The Fetters Heavy Leather Flogger

Vendor: Regulation

Very often I get asked “Where can I get a good, quality flogger, best in Europe?” That is actually a tough question because unlike the USA Europe never developed a big BDSM flogger maker scene. Most of my floggers are made by a flogger maker in New York I have got to know when I studied in the USA. They cost at least four times of this Heavy Leather Flogger and take months to make, an invest most people are not willing to make. So I am quite excited to take a look at a traditionally made flogger that is easily accessible to guys from Europe.

Construction

This flogger is a beautiful example of traditional flogger making: Braided leather knot on the top and bottom knot. Between them a black and red herringbone pattern made out of leather straps covers the 17cm long grip, giving the handle an overall length of 23,5cm. For better storing and not losing the flogger while throwing it, a 14.5cm long braided leather loop is attached to the bottom knot. What surprised me that Fetters uses relatively stiff and sturdy leather for the braiding which usually makes getting it tight and firm difficult. But I was impressed how tight it was which is a good indicator for durability and quality. The flogger is quite well balanced. The mass center is at the bottom of the upper knot which is low enough to keep the wrist from tiring out quickly.

Detail of the Angle Cut Tail End

Into the top knot 25 tails are woven. They are made out of rather stiff black cow hide and have an angle cut at the end. At 55cm overall length they are 4.5cm longer than the “standard” flogger length of 20’’ resp. 50.5cm but this only is important when you are Florentine flogging with a 20’’ in tail flogger. In the knot a 4x2cm leather patch with an embossed Fetters logo is woven. I am not sure about this move because when you tails “break” over this patch, it impacts how they fly. Especially experienced tops will soon learn how hold their flogger to not have this happening or how to compensate. Still, I would have preferred this patch elsewhere.

All things considered, I have not yet found this level of craftsmanship and attention to detail for this price. So from a pure manufacturing side, this flogger offers incredible value for money.

Playing with the Fetters Heavy Leather Flogger

Detail of the Knot with the Fetters Logo Patch

From a technical point of view, this flogger is good for novice tops getting into flogging. The tails fly well which makes the aim easy. The mass center at the top knot allows the tails to gain momentum when wielding in laying-8-shaped circles so once you have established a pattern, the flogger guides the throwing arm.

But from a pain perspective this one is not for the faint of heart. Fetters chose a stiffer variety of cow hide, yet not as stiff (and thus severe) at Latigo leather. Unlike Latigo this cow hide is flexible and flows and flies really nicely yet it is far from soft. Adding that to the medium weight of the leather it leans a bit towards sting. Additionally the edges are a bit firm and the rough side of the leather is relatively coarse for a flogger. And finally, the tips are angle cut so when they hit, they have an extra bit. Furthermore, angle cut will give you the most acceleration and thus most strong impact sensation.

Detail of the Bottom Knot and Loop

This doesn’t make the flogger bad! It is awesome toy for masochists, a mid- to end-scene toy when the endorphins are flowing and a skilled top will be able to get some thud out of it. But for people starting out with flogging or not hard-core masochists, I strongly advice to use a different, softer flogger for warm up, like the Bare Leatherworks Buffalo one.

Despite the overall roughness of tails, I was surprised how relatively little they color. Of course the impact area will turn red quickly but being medium-weight bruises even on delicate areas like the ass and thigh are unlikely. Despite the sharp tail edges and angle cut tips I was actually surprise how little scratches and welts this flogger produced. So if you are looking for a meanish impact toy that leave relatively little marks after a scene, it is a good one to go with.

Finally a little word on availability: Since this product is handmade, it is rarely available in large quantities. This flogger has been on my watch list for over 2 years and it has been sold out most of the time. So if you are interested in this flogger, I highly recommend setting an e-mail alert to get notified when it is back in stock!

Conclusion: Extremely competitively priced, well made and handling flogger to deliver a stingy sensation.
Pros Cons Where to get Price
All tails fly together for a good ain Unlike advertised on the stingier and heavier end of the pain spectrum Regulation £58.99

Vendor: Organotoy

Happy Pride Month! It’s the most wonderful time of the year for us non-straight perverts so I am going to kick-off the months with a review of my latest rainbow colored toy, the Organotoy Ripley. This is going to be a special toy, because the Ripley started out as a toy I designed for myself and some very greedy play partners. But the guys from Organotoy liked the design so much they asked if they could add it to their collection. I do pro bono toy design for all kinds of companies so why not?

The Organotoy Ripley

Construction

Literally Ripley’s core is a 320mm long column with 60mm diameter. The top 35mm have the shape of a slightly elongated half-dome. After a just 10mm short shaft the first bulge raises almost perpendicular out of the shaft. These bulge are 15mm wide, 10mm tall and are rounded. There are a total of 6 bulges around the shaft with 27mm between them. After the last bulge there is a 40mm long “neck” to rest until a round base with 100mm diameter gives the toy a sturdy stand and keeps it from accidently getting swallowed by a greedy hole. The base is 32mm tall and comes standard with a surprisingly strong suction cup! For an extra 10€ you can get a Vac-u-Lock hole instead. Such a hole is a nifty feature not only if you have a fuck machine but putting a thumb into it makes guiding the toy into a fistee’s ass easier.

As for every of their toy, Organotoy offers a firmness range from Shore 00-30 up to rubber-firm A30. Personally, I found Shore A5 the best compromise between challenging pop and still manageable insertion. But since I prefer my toys on the firmer end of the hardness scale, I am not a good reference.

Two Silicone Skin Ripleys with a „Normal“ cast GeometriX

The same wide range applies to the color scheme: Organotoy can do (almost) everything you can imagine. From unicolors over marbles with my beloved glow in the dark colors to extravagant patterns they can make every twisted fantasy come true. My two Ripleys are airbrushed because I wanted a the bulges to a distinctly different color from the shaft which silicone cannot do. You would always see a bleeding on the edges.

What sets an airbrushed toy apart from other silicone toys is the finish process. A freshly cast toy is sprayed with a layer of translucent silicone. Into this then still wet layer colored silicone is painted or sprays (thus the name “airbrush”). Finally, a protective coat of 5 to 8 layers clear silicone is sprayed onto the finished toy to protect the color. Once dried, the toy gets tempered and now has a beautiful and smooth silicone skin.

The Vac-U-Lock Hole in Ripley’s Base

The lead designer of Organotoy is a former Hollywood SFX makeup artist who can great incredibly detailed paintings (like the Biohazard sign on the training plug I developed for my BF; another design Organotoy adopted). So coloring my Rainbow Rammler and Flash Gordon Coil was a jiffy.

The silicone skin of an airburshed silicone toy is smooth and glossy compared to the relatively matt surface of a “just” cast toy. The skin is sturdy – as long as you do not attack it with acetone, cut it, use a steel sponge or use silicone lube. Just treat it like you would your skin and you are fine. Friends of mine have been using their airbrushed toys from Organo for well over half of a decade and they are as good as new. The clear silicone and the colors used for the airbrush as well as the process are – like the silicone – 100% body safe. And smell-free. It pains me to have to stress this, but in the past few months I have been getting more and more messages of people who have bought allegedly silicone toys which smelled funnily. A body-safe silicone toy out of the factory will never smell! Though silicone can of course take on smells over time.

Playing with Ripley

Detail of the Bulges around the Shaft

First a disclaimer: I have designed this toy so I will not talk about my experience with it. I might be too biased. My personal experience comes in when I critic my creation.

The toy is for bottoms who like it rough! And who are loose. Like, really loose! The steep, perpendicular bulges give the sphincter no chance to gradually open up. The anus either lets the toy in or it doesn’t. There is little in between. You can force the Ripley in but the popping will be intense! And you have to figure out the right degree of force. Otherwise serious injuries to the sphincter can occur!

The Ripley was designed to “rip” lose holes apart, give it maximum stimulation through the extreme texture. It is best when loose ass lips slobber around it. It’s definitively an end of scene toy. One to finish the hole for good. The combination of stretch and pressure (quickly over) stimulates the nerve ending dense, sensitive anus. For less vigorous action a skilled top can learn how to utilize the tip and the first bulge for targeted prostate stimulation. While this is less forceful than a hole destroying fucking, it still requires an open anus.

Detail of Ripley’s Tip

For both kinds of stimulation an about 15mm longer shaft above the first bulge would be great. Either for more easily reaching the prostate or for “anchoring” the toy inside the anus. If you fuck quickly and forcefully the toy can slip out of the hole. This is something I did not think of when drawing the design of this toy. I already told Organotoy to fix this before they add the toy to their webshop.

But the lead designer is female and the Ripley apparently is perfect for G-spot stimulation. Something that my FtM friends confirmed. A longer shaft would hurt women with a sensitive cervix so they decided to keep my initial toy design. If you pay a bit attention, keeping the toy inside the bottoms greedy ass can be done so I guess it is not too much of a problem to use the toy as it is.

Where to buy?

Like all Organotoy products the Ripley is sold exclusively at their website. Other the high degree of customization would not be possible. The price starts at 99,96€ but depending on your color, firmness and accessory wishes the sky is the limit.

The Topped Toy Hilt 115

Vendor: Topped Toys

Construction

The Hilt is made out of the best material possible for an anal toy: Platinum silicone. This kind of silicone is 100% body safe and hypo allergenic. Its super smooth surface makes it not only easy to clean and insert but keeps bacteria from settling.

The toy comes either in blue or their signature Forge Red, a marble of red and charcoal-steel which I like a lot! It brings a sexy, brooding atmosphere to the play. Being a marble and thus a bit more difficult to cast, the Forge Red toys costs 10CAD more but like all silicone toys it will last you a lifetime so it is a worthwhile investment! Regardless of the color, the silicone has a firmness of Shore 00-34 which is quite soft.

The Hilt comes in three sizes. For this review I tested the Hilt 115, the other sizes were supplied by friends who have the other sizes in their playroom.

Size Glans Diameter Shaft Diameter Above Knot Knot Diameter Neck Diameter Base Insertable Length Overall Lenght
95 63x55mm 73mm 56mm 75x80mm 52mm 85mm 225mm 265mm
115 68x59mm 76mm 57mm 91x98mm 62mm 103mm 240mm 280mm
125 68x59mm 69mm 69mm 99x106mm 65mm 112mm 260mm 300mm

The Hilt’s Glans with the Ridge in the Middle and the „Hook“ on the Back

Playing with the Hilt

The Hilt starts out with an oval glans. Unlike other toys which have a smooth and rounded tip, this one has a ridge in the middle. At the back it has a hook-like drop and around it runs a ridge that flows into the top of the shaft and forms a ventral groove there. The shaft itself quite voluminous with bulges on the side. The smooth, flowing lines make it an interesting and not too challenging toy to ride – once you have taken the popping glans. But this soft and stimulating ride does little to prepare you for what’s to come.

Compared to other toys, the top of the knot is very flat and wide. There is no steep slope gently seducing your hole to open up to the maximum diameter. Either it is loose enough of the knot will jam! To this adds the softness of the material. Unlike firmer material (Shore A5 and up) which can force the sphincter open, the soft Shore 00-34 silicone will rather flatten and this increase the diameter instead of popping through this sphincter. What makes the knotting even more extreme and challenging is that the knot sits perpendicular to the shaft. For a thorough pre-stretch I recommend to twist and turn the shaft to loosen up the hole as good as possible. That being said, I consider myself an experienced fistee and it took me a couple of weeks until I knotted my Hilt 115. It was a blissful experience but took some work and stretching. So this is definitively not a beginner’s toy but for the real ass pigs out there!

The Flat and Wide Knot of the Hilt

An old and tired fister’s bon mot about big plugs is “When it fits, it sits” and the Hilt is not different. After the maximum diameter it tapers conically and relatively steeply towards the neck. But the anuses of most of my testees were so “traumatized” in a good way that they did not want to let go of the toy. And while the conically shape above the neck opens the sphincter up well for the pull-out, the brutish-dull knot requires a VERY loose hole for knot-fucking – and a somewhat alert top. The base is not much wider than the knot yet being not so thick softer. So a greedy, depth-savvy fistee might swallow the base.

On the base is also self-play potential lost with not including a suction cup! The Hilt would be a perfect toy to mount onto the shower wall and fuck yourself with it. On a smooth surface, the base is wide and sticky enough for the Hilt to be ridden. But a bit wide, a bit thicker base with a suction cup or at least a Vac-u-Lock hole would have been A+. Especially considering Topped Toys is marketing the Hilt as a “Rideable Toy”.

Detail of the Ventral Groove and the Bulges on the Shaft

When a skilled top is controlling the toy, the many ridges make the Hilt a prostate stimulation beast! There is the hook at the top of the glans and the glans ridge, the ventral groove and of course the knot. To be honest, it takes some time to get to know the toy so thoroughly and to figure out where and how to twist the Hilt to apply pressure. But once a top has mastered how the toy behaves in his bottom’s rectum it is a nifty too for targeted stimulation.

The silicone’s softness in combination with the concave arching shaft allows the toy’s body to arch easily when it goes deep. This adds to the feeling of fullness in the rectum and increases the prostate stimulation a bit. Some lucky bottoms who’s second sphincter is located in a sweet spot and who are depth experienced will be able to allow the glans to enter the colon. The tapered glans is good for opening up this sensitive body area. But the many ridges and grooves on the upper half of the shaft makes the Hilt delicate for depth play. Because when twisting the toy, the bottom can be easily be pushed over the edge because the stimulation it too intense. Plentiful lubrication is advised!

The Conical Neck and the Round Base of the Hilt

As always with platinum silicone toys, pleases only use it with water- or oil-based lubes. The silicone oil inside silicone lube will disintegrate the toy, making the surface sticky and porous. Overtime, the toy will not be body safe anymore.

After each scene, the Hilt should be cleaned which is easy with silicone toys. Soak them in warm water with dish soap to get the lube off more easily. Once soaked, rub over the toy using your hands or a soft cloth, rinse the toys with warm water and let it dry. If you want to be extra-safe, spray a body safe sanitizer on the toy afterwards.

Where to buy?

Topped Toys sells the Hilt directly for between 135CAD and 225CAD, depending on the size and color.

The ElectraStim Viper

Vendor: ElectraStim

Construction

The Viper is a bi-polar CBT e-stim toy. It is made out of ElectraStim’s velvety soft yet sturdy red silicone. The toy has a roughly triagonal shape, measuring 77mm at the widest and tallest point and is 12mm thick. The body is slightly convex so it hugs the groin for a snug and comfortable fit. On top there are 2mm sockets for the leads. The front features some light geometric texture and the ElectraStim logo for a little bit more interesting look.

Detail of the Small Conductive Areas

In the middle there is a 34x43mm oval hole. Three 6x8mm black conductive silicone bricks are on each side. At the bottom of the hole there is a 6mm wide gap between the tips of the “wings”. That is why I find ElectraStims’ designation as a “cockring” a bit unfortunate. I would rather call it a “cock clamp” because you can easily pull the wings apart and place it over the penis root. This does not only make the handling of the toy considerably easier than all the bi-polar cockrings in my collection, it also eliminates the sizing problem. Depending on the flaccid dick size, the Viper either targets more the penis root or also the scrotum on less well-endowed guys. The wings can be stretched up to 62mm which should cover most guys.

Detail of the Texture

Playing with the Viper

The conductive areas on the Viper have a small contact area and relatively little mass. So the sensation leans towards sting. But I was impressed by the conductivity. The toy’s design presses the poles onto the body so even without conductive gels there is a good transmission – if the bottom is shaved or at least well trimmed. Thick pubic hair can stop the transmission or make it very erratic, even with conductive gels. There are subs out there who enjoy random jolts depending on how the toy and the skin shift but for a controlled scene I would not recommend it!

For scenes in the playroom the Viper is a good CBT electrode. Easy to set-up and use, it offered little frills but good, reliable and intense sensations. The area it targets is an interesting one. It is the first electrode for years that is designed for the penis and scrotum root. While at a first glance this area does not sound so sensitive and nerve ending dense like the glans or the shaft, wait until you feel the first shock in your sensitive spermatic cord!

Detail of the Two 2mm Sockets

Where the Viper really starts to shine is when you leave the playroom and go out in the streets! Through the secure fit and socket placement, this toy can be securely and comfortably worn under clothes making it the perfect pairing for remote controlled e-stim units. Being so intense, even a little flick will be hard to go unnoticed by bystanders and stronger shocks can bring the sub easily to his knees.

Being made out of silicone, a small word on caring for the toy. Sadly, silicone by nature is an a bit sticky material thus there will always be dust on the toy, even if you clean it thoroughly. This is done easily with warm dish soap water and spray-on sanitizer after the drying. During play you have to be careful with silicone lube. The silicone oil inside it will attack the silicone, making it dull, stickier and disintegrates it. This can become a problem when you use the Viper for a carrot and stick play in combination with edging. A bit of silicone lube leaking down from the dick will not instantly destroy the toy but over time, it can become a problem. It is especially important to use a cleaning agent that will get the silicone oil off the toy. Or just use natural oils like olive oil for such scenes.

SeriousToyS Rubber Stirrups

The SeriousToyS Rubber Stirrups

Vendor: Vast

Construction

These are the matching stirrups to the rubber sling I reviewed four years ago. Back then their store was still called Demask Dortmund. Since then they have rebranded to Vast and have set up an online shop which makes purchasing their other awesome toys way easier.

Since they are the matching stirrups, they are made the same way out of the same material: Three layers of 2mm thick industrial rubber have been reinforced with Kevlar for maximum durability. To deliver this durability during suspension, even on a shear-prone material like rubber, they did not simply punch a hole through the three layers or riveted a D-ring under a rubber loop as an anchor point. Instead of this they used stainless steel fittings which cover the first 65mm of the rubber. On The “inside” of the stirrups the metal plate extends beyond the rubber and has a 20mm diameter eyelet hole on top. On the “outside” there is just a stainless steel plate. Both fittings are not attached directly to the rubber but house the rubber between themselves through 4 stainless steel screws (rounded hex head on the inside, acorn nut on the outside).

Detail of the Stainless Steel Fittings

Industrial rubber and metal are tough materials to work with. They require a lot of work to be made “playroom ready”. In the manufacturing process all metal and rubber edges have been painstakingly deburred and given a top notch finished. There is no single rough edge or area that can cause chafing. I would even trust to run ropes through the eyelets.

The rubber is slightly oval shaped, measuring 800mm from one end to the other and being 100mm wide in the middle. The overall length is 860mm from metal tip to metal tip. In the product picture on the website they come with a two simple carabiners. I guess I have gotten those too but actually cannot remember.

Playing with the Rubber Stirrups

Don’t let yourself be fooled by the ambivalent website description: This toy is made out of rubber, not vinyl! And it has the smell to prove it! I have bought these stirrups in October of 2019 and they still smell like a fresh rubber suit! A smell fetishist friend of mine love putting a guy with rank sox into those so he can alter between the sox and the rubber smell.

Speaking of fetishists, these stirrups are made for gearheads! Not only because of the material and the rough & heavy duty aesthetic but because of the size. Most leather or nylon stirrups are large enough to more or less comfortable enter with slim sneaker like Nike TNs. Combat boots are already a struggle to get in and especially out of. And as soon as it comes to bulkier sneakers like Nike Shox (sorry, I only wear Nikes and do not know any Adidas sneaker) or MX boots they do not fit through all other commercial stirrups I have encountered so far. Unlike the SeriousToyS ones! Using professional carabiners to connect the eyelets, you get a clear height of 360mm and a width of 170mm. That is plenty of space for most fetish footwear. If you have really large feet, use individual carabiners for each eyelet to increase the clear height and width even more.

The SeriousToyS Rubber Stirrups are especially made for heavy and messy play. Lube and other substances clean easily off the rubber. And since it is industrial rubber, it requires well less maintenance than the sheet rubber used for fetish clothing. If you want to, you can of course shine the rubber with silicone oil. Though since the lower calf will rest inside the stirrups I would not recommend it.

Detail of the Eyelets

The corresponding sling was used to suspend a Smart car in the on one anchor point. Since the same material and manufacturing process are used, I am very confident this toy will have approximately the same breaking load. And while I would not recommend using this toy to lift your car, I actually use the stirrups as torso support belts in suspension bondage scene. With a few chains and a strong suspension spread bar, they double as a basic sit sling!

For all this kind of “perverterable” scenes, I wish, Vast would offer individual and/ or longer ones for sale. For a proper sit sling you need a third one for back support and for heavier people longer ones would also be great for suspension scenes. But at the moment, especially looking at the price of even simple leather stirrups, these offer incredible value for money! And if you are a rubber fetishist who strives towards an all rubber playroom, there is now nearly as good alternative on the market.

Conclusion: The best, largest and most vers rubber stirups on the market.

Doxy 3R

The Doxy 3R Wireless Massage Wand

Vendor: Regulation

Construction

The design of the 3R follows other massagers with a long, tapering shaft and a small head. Though with an overall length of 265mm and a maximum diameter of 45mm it is considerably smaller than other wands. Another nifty design feature is the bulge at the bottom for a more secure and comfortable grip. The wand is controlled through three rubber buttons for power, more or less intensity.

The case it made out of an aluminum die cast giving the massager a solid feeling. Yet at 370g it is not too heavy. Except for a silver sleeve at the top and far bottom the aluminum is colored in dark blue with luscious sparkles. The color does not look camp, it looks fancy in a good way and produces great effects under (playroom) LED lights. If you prefer a sleeker look, the 3R also comes in an all matt black version.

Detail of the 3R’s buttons

A 17mm shaft connects the body with the head. On top of a silver aluminum sleeve sits a silicone covered metal half-dome. This is the part which vibrates! The half-dome can be easily screwed off and replaced with accessories like a cock sleeve, prostate massager or g-spot vibrators. Because these accessories are tightly connected to the body, they won’t fall off like on standard sized massagers.

The Dome Unscrewed to Attache Accessories

To charge the 3R you have to use a provided USB-coaxial connector lead. On a 10W USB power unit it took about 45min to fully charge the massager. Sadly you cannot use the 3R while charging. So when after about an hour of full power (and about 85min on the lowest setting) usage, you have to wait 45min until the scene can continue. So esp. for edging scenes in public playrooms, I always carry a powerbank with me.

When you get the 3R, it’s packed in a black cardboard box with a blue glossy paper sleeve. While the exterior is sleek, the inside is as fancy as the “blue flame” color of the body: The massager and the charging cable is housed in a brushed aluminum cylinder. Screw-on caps give access to the massager compartment and at the bottom to a compartment for the charging cable. Since (almost) everybody has a USB power unit now, it doesn’t come with one to reduce electronic waste.

The Doxy 3R inside its Aluminum Packaging

Playing with the Doxy 3R

The most often question I get asked about the 3R is “How powerful is it?” According to the package the Doxy 3R manages 9,000 RPM which is the same number as his cable bound twin Doxy No 3 and his big brother the Doxy Die Cast. Sadly, I do not have a No 3 in my collection so I could only compare it to the Die Cast. Gathering a small panel of testees and doing some simple quantitative tests, I have to admit: Yes, the Die Cast is a little bit more powerful and oscillates a little bit wider than the 3R.

But, in a blind test the testees could not tell the difference. In the long run, the testees I sent both wands to compare each other, the 3R made them cum quicker. This is due to the stimulation being more focused. Instead of distribution the vibration power over a big, chunky head, only the top tip of the 3R vibrates.

One Side of the Nexus Masturbator Attachement

If you play with the attachments manufactured by Nexus for Doxy, the power transmission should be better since the accessory is screwed directly onto the body and thus it cannot come off during the session. If have only played with the cock sleeve, because it is probably the most often used accessory by men. It is made out of a very soft sparkling dark blue silicone which stretches easily over the dick – if it stretches. The internal diameter without texture is 38.1mm which is the minimum dick diameter to really feel the texture and the vibration. So you need an at least medium sized, better large dick, to enjoy this attachment. The attachment has two different textures: One side, there are little pyramids and bumps, on the other six lines of ridges. As fun as the different textures are – when you can feel them -, the masturbator is not really worth its money: The connecting shaft between the socket and the sleeve is almost comically thin and wobbly. So most of the kinetic energy is lost in this small shaft. I could compensate this short-coming a bit with using Oxballs cocking as reinforcements but still: In the end traditional slip-over sleeves on the Die Cast provide stronger stimulation than the 3R with the designated cock sleeve.

The Nexus Masturbator attached to the 3R: The Degree of Kinking should give you an Impression just how soft the Connection between Wand and Sleeve is

But this does not make the 3R the inferior toy. It is the unanimous opinion of my testees and me that compared to his big brother, the 3R is the better massager. Being smaller and considerably lighter, it is easier to hold, especially in long scenes. Being wireless, it is an easy to grab toy for spontaneous scenes in the bedroom, a nimble travel companion for camping and business trips and of course for out of playroom sessions. While dedicated BDSM clubs like Quälgeist in Berlin or the Chicago Hellfire Club’s club house have sockets close to the play areas, most “kinky” clubs like LAB in Berlin or Underground in Munich do not. So you have to rely on battery powered toys. So far, the 3R is the most powerful and longest lasting massager I have come across.

Another advantage of the small form factor (which to be honest, does also apply to the cable-fettered No 3) is allowing for new, fun stimulation on the taint, single balls, just the glans, dildos and butt plugs with a small base or – for a non-sexual purpose – more focused tense muscle relaxation and vibration-enhanced acupressure (or use the bottom for it without vibration). Since the head can be screwed off and cleaned easily, the “therapeutic” purpose in combination with lube or ointments is easier than with the big Die Cast. The head of the 3R is covered in silicone so best only used water or oil-based lubes. Silicone lube with destroy the surface over time.

The Doxy Logo Minted into the Shaft

A word of warning though from a top friend of mine: He stuffed his 3R into his sub’s rubber catsuit, close and locked the zipper and put mitts onto the sub so he could not turn the vibrator off. The 3R is not water-proof! So the sweat killed the device for good!

Conclusion: Nimble, portable and powerful massager with disappointing accessories.
