The SquarePeg Pegger Grinder, one of the most intense Anal Toys ever Made
Vendor: Currently none, was made by SquarePeg
Ever week I get dozens of reader questions, mostly about which toy is best for making a specific fantasy come to true or scratch a particular kinky itch. Having written over 500 reviews, 101s, etc. in the past 13½ years, most of the time I can quickly and easily answer the questions with a couple of links and a few explaining lines.
Last week, something interesting happened: Someone asked me to recommend heavily textured toys. The Pegger Grinder immediately sprung to my mind. So I went on my website, searching for the review but could not find it. Apparently, despite having been in my toy collection for almost 9 years, I never reviewed it. Worse, this toy has vanished from the internet. So, in my role as custodian of the archive of the Golden Age of Toy design, today’s review is about an intense toy you cannot buy anymore: The SquarePeg Pegger Grinder.
Construction
When it comes to silicone toys, SquarePeg is genesis. Back in 1997, Scott was the first dildo maker who discovered that the material properties of platinum silicone makes it the best material for dildo making. A trained sculptor and avid fister, silicone allowed him to mold the material in interesting shapes with delicate details to really hit the right spots. While SquarePeg toys are not the complex toys, their simplicity is genius. The Pegger Grinder is a perfect example for this philosophy.
The basis of this toy is a simple elongated cone with a dullish tip. This core is randomly textured with dull round spikes rising 5mm from the surface and having a diameter of 12mm. Below the apex, the toy tapers concavely towards a neck. Both the taper and the neck are untextured.
The Dull Spikes even Texture the Apex
At the bottom sits a pentagonal base. Due to this unusual shape you can grip the Grinder securely and twist the toy inside the hole, even when your hands are extremely lubey. At my large size toy the base is 20mm thick so it is sturdy but still thin enough to be held firmely even with smaller hands. The base is about 50% larger than the core so even when you push it in hard, once the sphincter gives in, there is no chance of accidentally pushing the entire toy into the rectum.
Initially there were three sizes: Small, Medium and Large. But since all shop listings have vanished from the internet, I can only give you measurements for my large model: 160mm of insertable length and 75mm diameter of the core’s apex + the height of the spikes around it.
The toys also came in two firmness degrees: Extra firm in black which is about Shore A10 and their signature SuperSoft in their signature Bronze color and a gray graphite, both about Shore 00-30. Next to being available in a soft firmness, so his toys could easily slip around the bend of the intestine, Scott as a fistee himself, liked two other material properties of platinum silicon: Its supersmooth surface makes gliding through the anus as easy as cleaning it (just soak the toy in hot soap water, rinse, spray sanitizer on it, done). Also, unlike the back then and sadly still most common dildo material rubber or PVC platinum silicone does emit potentially plasticizers which are easily absorbed through the rectum directly into blood stream.
The Pentagonal Base for a Secure Grip
Being so committed to quality and product safety, SquarePeg is one of the few (the only?) US toy maker, who only uses raw materials like silicone and colors in the USA.
Playing with the Pegger Grinder
If you have not noticed from the pictures already: The Pegger Grinder is an advanced player’s toy. It is made for hole which can relax and open up even under stimulation overload or even stress. Since the spikes are arranged randomly with ample space between them, they to not create a “surface” (like bed of nails) but each sticks out stimulating, irritating, barricading the anus.
Unlike other textured toys, which allow you to take the tip of the toy with ease to anchor is inside the sphincter, there are spikes even at the tip. Not upright but in a slight angle for maximum pushback against the anus. Even when your hole is gaping open, the intense stimulation will trigger a shutting tight reflex. So your top will have to struggle against a surprisingly powerful muscle. For this the sturdy base comes in handy because you really exert force. If you want to play hard with the Pegger Grinder, you need to be an experienced bottom-top-couple to get the force right. Being made out of silicone and the spikes being rounded, there is threat of scratching injuries. But too much force and/ or too little lube, can cause tears.
Even the Grinder’s Tip is Textured which makes Taking the Toy a Delightful Agony
So, why go through all this trouble? For the bliss of anal masochism! If you like to play hard, have an insatiable itch, need to be pushed HARD to finish the scene, the Pegger Grinder is the perfect tool to finish you off. It like bringing knucks to a fist fight when knuckles just won’t do anymore. Just twisting and turning the toy inside the anus in the futile attempt to coerce the sphincter to open will make most fistees tense up. Since the apex is textured with five spikes the “plop” in is extreme. Once locked inside – these five spikes will drive a HARD bargain when it comes to pulling it out again – you can start the grinding. Especially in firm, this is one of the most intense textured toys sensations you can have. Located somewhere between ecstasy and agony start slowly (gently is just the wrong word here) and gradually increase speed and time between direction changes. Most holes will quickly beg for a break. It takes an experienced (and strong!) top to know how far to push the holes that now belongs to him.
If that is not enough to make your bottom safeword in a good way, you can always resort to punching. This will require strength because the rapid stimulation is guaranteed to make even a loose hole tight. Though many scenes with the Pegger Grinder have turned into an unintended (light) punching scene: The fistee safeworded, the top pulled the Grinder out and suddenly the empty hole became greedy for the intense stimulation again. So the bottom who minutes ago begged to be relieved from the stimulation now begs to be ravished again.
You might have noticed, that this review is quite unusually top-centric for an anal toy review. To unlock the full potentially of it, the bottom needs to lay relaxed in a sling or on a fisting bench and let a top operate it. Of course you can sit down on the toy. But then you cannot twist the toy when a spike is sitting uneasy which could be fixed by a little twist. You could lay in your back, reach between your legs to push the toy in. But with this requires a tight core which is not beneficial for relaxation.
The Three Most Intense Plugs I know, all from SquarePeg: The Grinder, the Extractor and a custom Putty-Augmented Extractor
While I enjoy my large Pegger Grinder in firm, I do not know if I would recommend unless you are a really extreme and intense player. Using the toy could almost be considered work for the top because it requires so much strength. In firm is a bit of a large resort toy for particular scenes. So I sometimes wish, I had a Grinder in SuperSoft because it is a bit more universal.
Grinder was part of the Pegger three part range, a collection of heavily textured toys. There was also the Extractor which is probably to most intensely textured toy ever made. The Extractor is even more intense and due to the wide perpendicular even harder to take. If you really want escalation, the Extractor might be an option. But while a skilled top over time can make a (SuperSoft) Grinder fit in any experienced hole, there are some holes which simply cannot take the Extractor. So it is even a more niche toy. The final member of the trio is the Thrasher which is still in production. With a dull shaft raising out of the voluminous and upward textured body, it is probably one of the most unique designs by Scott. Sadly, I did not have a chance to play with it yet. If I get a chance to add it to my collection, there will be a review coming – hopefully sooner than later.
