The Friendly Toys Wonder 36

Vendor: Friendly Toys

Following the Good Friday review, I wanted to go on hiatus because until mid-June I have something going on each weekend so writing the reviews would be extra-stressful. But last Thursday, my dear friend Westmind (BSKY/ IG) sent me a picture of a pile of toys asking me if I knew the ripped toy in the middle. Of course, I immediately identified it was the Friendly Toy Wonder and went to ToyTorture.com to look up the link to the review. But there was none. Apparently, I took pictures of the toy in November but forgot to write the actual review. So with my biggest apologies, I dedicate this review to Westmind, hoping it will him help make up his mind regarding this toy!

Construction

At between 350mm and 400mm insertable length, the Wonder is clearly a depth toy. The basic shape of the toy is a cone-shaped core onto which increasingly deeper and wider fins are attached on the wide side of the oval. The fins of each level converge on the narrow side, texturing it with shallow ribs. On top of the body sits an oval cone-shaped tip, giving the Wonder the appearance of an sleek upscale Christmas decoration item. Between the lowest fin and the base is a big gape so you can comfortably knot the toy. The base is considerably larger than the largest diameter so there is little chance of swallowing the toy completely. Its thickness is nice for good ergonomics when holding it as a top. In the middle is a vac-u-lock hole so you can either attach the Wonder to a grip or fuck machine or use it as a guiding hole for your thumb when topping a fistee with it.

The Friendly Toys Pig Logo on the Wonder’s Sturdy Base

Like every anal toy start up in the last 10 years, Friendly Toys makes their sculptures out of platinum silicone. This makes them 100% body safe and easy to clean. Its super smooth surface facilitates easy insertion – if you stick to water or oil based lubes. Sadly, the silicone oil in silicone lube disintegrates the surface of silicone toys, making them sticky and destroying them over time. So stay away from silicone lube when playing with silicone toys. After play, silicone can be cleaned easily by letting the toy soak in warm soap water, let dry and finally spray sanitizer on the toy.

While platinum silicone can come in various firmness degrees, Friendly Toy only uses Shore 00-30 which is quite soft. Silicone can also be easily colored. At the moment, Friendly Toys offers only solid colors and no patterns like marbles or fades. You can choose between a hot pink, bright orange, slightly greenish yellow, purplish blue, deep teal and classic black.

The Wonder comes in three sizes with the name corresponding to the maximum diameter in inch: The 32 with 350mm insertable length and 80mm diameter, 36 at 380/90mm which I have in my toy collection and the 40 at 400/100 which is currently the largest model. There was chatter on Bluesky on an even larger Wonder 42 being in development which would probably be around 430/11. But due to the deep fins, the Wonder 40 is already difficult enough to get out of the mold. So no idea if they will ever manage that. And to be frank, the Wonder 38, let alone the Wonder 40 is already large enough because…

The Perfectly Tapering Tip on the Wonder

Playing with Wonder

… is a toy for really experienced bottoms with LOOSE holes. While the slope of the tip has the steepness sweetspot for easily opening up the anus, so the toy locks easily in place, even the shallower fins on top are already what I consider intense texture. Their plopping-in sensation is already quite strong, stimulating the anus intensely, leading to some tenseness. And it gets only more and more extreme as you ride down to toy.

In order the ride the toy, you need loads of lube as the surface area is HUGE. Be prepared to spend almost half a bottle of lube to get Wonder slick and slippery.

The final drawback is its ergonomics. The core is relatively small compared to the large mass being attached to it. This in combination with the length and the soft material, makes the Wonder hard to control. When putting it on the ground and squatting over it, it takes some coordination for the toy not to bend away. Once you have taken about one quarter of the toy, these worries melt away and leave pure bliss!

The Increasingly Deeper Fins on Wonder’s Body

If you are open & loose to take a heavily textured toy deep, the Wonder is a must buy! No toy massages the anus lips, the prostate and the second sphincter more rhythmically than the Wonder! Once you have started taking it deep, the genius of the design starts to shine. The steeply tapering tip is sturdy and stiff enough to open up the second sphincter. If a top operates the toy, through twisting the oval shape can actually help this sphincter to open up. Due to texture below the tip being a bit less intense, the second hole does not instantly get overstimulated while the deeper texture down the shaft will put the anus into overdrive already. Though do not be mistaken: The Wonder is NOT a depth training toy! Your second hole needs to be desensitized and trained in order to let the Wonder in with more or probably less ease.

Ususally I say, buy the toy for the hole you want to have not the hole you have. But for the Wonder, I actually recommend starting with the smallest size and eventually work your way up. The 32 is easier to control and easier to take deep while offering plenty of fun even for pro holes. Especially when you tend towards more aggressive, high intensity/ velocity play, the shorter, easier to control toy is a bit more fun. While I do not regret choosing the 36 at Dore Alley last year (the 40 was not release back then), I sometimes wish I would have gotten the 32 which I might have knotted already.

The Vac-U-Lock Hole in the Bottom of Wonder’s Base

If you cannot handle depth at all, take a look at Friendly Toys’ Bloomer which is basically the fins of the Wonder only in short. While looking alike, I assume the ergonomics will be very different. Being shorter, the toy will be considerably blunter, putting more stress on the anus. Maybe, one day I will review these toy too.

Where to buy?

The Wonder, like all Friendly Toys, are sold directly through their website. All three sizes are around one ballpark pricewise with the Wonder 32 starting at 138.95€ and the Wonder 40 only costing 32€ more.

C-Twister

The Organotoy C-Twister, the lovechild of a stallion and a unicorn

Vendor: Organotoy

Construction

The origin story of Organotoy is very similar to the one of SquarePeg: Olli, an anal aficionado being disappointed by the toys offered which neither had the quality nor the design to scratch his itches. His main concerns were the dangerous plasticizers which PVC and rubber toys emit (we probably all remember the acrid stink the first cheap toys we bought as young gays had) and which were absorbed by the rectum’s mucosa fucking at best “just” with the hormonal system, causing cancer at worst. His material of choice – platinum silicon – did not have these issues. It is in fact 100% body safe. Its supersmooth surface does not only keep bacteria from lingering but lets the toy also slide in more easily. To keep it gliding and nice for years (and actually decades to come), silicone toys must only be used with water or oil based lubes. The silicone oil in silicone lube solvated the surfaces, makes it sticky and will disintegrate the toy over time. In order to keep silicone toys in top shape, clean them after play (and between partners): Throw them in warm soap water (or do what I do and take a bath with them), rinse the lube and soap water off, let dry and spray sanitizer on them. Ready to go!

The Deep Suction Cup inside the Easy to Grip Base

Silicone is also the material of choice for interesting shapes and designs. It can recreate fine details and complex shapes. Since every toys needs to be poured by hand, they are significantly more expensive than mass-produced PVC or rubber toys. But since silicone takes on color particles easily, you can individualize the toys easily. Organotoy offers 45 different colors, some with effects like glow in the dark, UV reaction or glitter. The colors can be ordered in solid, fades or marbles from delicate to bold spots. If that is not enough, you can order custom airbrush designs like I had done on the first Sit-Plug I designed for my BF. Silicone also comes in a wide range of firmness degrees. As a standard Organotoy covers the standard from a squishy Shore 00-30, a true medium Shore A5 and rather firm Shore A10 (which is a bit firmer than the Bad Dragon firm). If you want any softer or really HARD, you can always ask them for a custom firmness.

One nice aspect of CAD developing and 3D printing of the molds which Organotoy is doing is that toy designs can be easily scaled. So the C-Twister is available from a tiny XS to a massive XL. So interesting and stimulating toy designs are not being gatekept for fist sluts but are available to (almost) every experience level.

The heavily Texture Glans sits at a 45° Angel on the Shaft

Playing with C-Twister

I intentionally write “almost” because despite being made in tiny sizes this toy is not made for anal play out of the box. Organotoy called the design inspiration equally equine and unicorn. Even without knowing this, when I first saw the design, I though “interesting flared horse dick.” The toy starts out with a round glans which is sitting on a 45° angel on the shaft. Starting from a small urethra in the middle it is formed by a thick strand in spiral. Especially in my light brown marble coloration it looks like a sticky bun (in related news: check out my socials and search for #Mohnday). On the last layer of the spiral the strand turns into a rope, adding a helix texture to it.

The body is one spike cone of a rope helix with increasing thread thickness. Lateral grooves imitate the texture of hemp bondage rope. Over the length of the shaft the helix has four twists, giving is the body ample texture.

The shaft sits onto of a thick and wide base which takes inspiration from the pouch a horse’s dick rests in. It is large enough to no swallow the toy by accident and gives the toy a sturdy stand. The entire base is one big suction cup so you can either mount it on the floor or on a tiled wall to fuck yourself with it.

The Helix Shaped and Groove Textured Shaft

In order to do so, you need to pre-stretch your sphincter (and depending on the toys size and your ambition your second one too) well. Due to the glans sitting in a 45° angel, the top of the dildo is dull, wide and textured – all factors which hinder your anus to relax. There is no easy entry, no direction you can twist the toy for a more nimble or anatomically welcoming configuration. You can either take the C-Twister or you cannot.

But, if you are experienced and well stretched and enjoy texture, the C-Twister is pure bliss. The complex shape and delicate lateral texture stimulate the many nerve endings inside your rectum intensely. You can really tell, that the toy was designed by someone who knows how the anatomy and nerve endings in your butt work. Both shape and the texture covering it are prominent enough for maximum stimulation yet not so deep that they create too much friction when pushing it. When sitting down on the toy, you can really feel it sucking itself into the rectum, like a screw being drilled into the threaded hole. While the glans drop is intense with a real significant “plop” when pushing it, the almost vertical, textured slop on top of the glans was made to attack the prostate.

The Massive and Textured Glans Drop on Top of the Glans

The C-Twister is a toy which can be enjoyed thoroughly alone. Personally, I have mounted it on a yoga block so I could twist and turn it myself when riding it. But this fun is outshined when a top is operating the toy for you. Pushing the toy in, turning it clockwise, has an almost hypnotic vortex effect. The ass lips are just flying over the shallow texture, sucking the toy in. If you are REALLY stretched and/ or have a mean fister, he will turn the toy counter clockwise, adding resistance and an even more intense massage of the texture. The welts forming the base allow for a good and somewhat secure grip, even with lubey hands. So the C-Twister can comfortably and demandingly be operated.

Where to buy?

Organotoy does not have whole sellers so you have to order the toy from their website. For a textured toy like the C-Twister this also my recommendation because then you get it exactly in the firmness your hole needs and the design your playroom aesthetic desires. The XS starts are an inexpensive 45.99€ and goes up all the way to 275.99€ for the MASSIVE XL. Mine is an L which is plenty of toy and fun for a hole that can significantly larger yet less textured toys. So don’t let your eyes become too greedy with this intensely textured toy and maybe for a smaller size you usually would.

HotKinkyJo Bulge Ball & Traffic Cone

The MHT Traffic Cone and HotKinkyJo Bulge Ball

Vendor: Mr Hankey’s Toys

When I review anal toys, they are usually elaborately shaped and delicately textured silicone sculptures. Their complex designs are the result of extensive research and frankly trail and error until the toy stimulates the nerve ending rich body regions like the anus and the prostate both inside the rectum and outside on the perineum just RIGHT. But as fun as these toys are, they come with two challenges:

  1. The more textured and rugged a toy is, the harder it is to take. Even in smaller versions which size are close to an average dick, it takes considerably time, pre-stretching and training to take these toys stress- or worse pain free.
  2. In order to get the maximum stimulation out of a toy, it needs to his the fun knobs in the nether regions just right. So when playing with complex toys, it takes some dexterity or even a second player to twist the toys just RIGHT when inserting it.

Because of this, I sometimes get questions asking for reviews of simple, matter of fact toys. And here are two of them! This will be a relatively short review, because their focussed simplicity limits what can be said about them.

Construction

The Vac-U-Lock Hole Inside the Buldge Ball’s Base. You could get that hole also for the Traffic Cone but that would only make Sense in the Smaller Sizes

Like most toy manufacturer founded in the middle of the last decade, Mr Hankey’s Toys only makes toys out of platinum silicone due to the manufacturing process. Previously, most anal toys were made out of rubber and PVC. In order to get an acceptable avarage cost degression, they had to be made in large numbers on an industrial scale. So there were high entry barriers into the market. With platinum silicone toys, once you have made the mold, each toys needs to be pured by hand. This of courses increases the price because every toys has to be made individually. But this opened the market for what silicone toys are famous for: That each toy can be customized.

Silicone toys quickly became famous their beautiful coloration. The material easily takes on color pigmants which can also have special effects like glow in the dark or being UV active. It also allows for elaborate coloration patterns like the marbles MHT offers for $39.95. Another customizing option MHT offers is adding a vac-u-lock hole to connect their toys to a wide range of accessories like grips and fuck machines or giving the top in front of your hole an anchoring point for his thumb to control the toy more easily. For just $5.95 it is a small premium I always advice spending! It makes handling the toy so much easier.

The Nicely Tapering Tip of the Traffic Cone

While PVC and rubber ususally are quite firm, platinum silicone comes in a wide range of firmness degrees from too soft to use to very firm. From this range MHT currently offers four degrees: 40% which according to their website is about 40% erectness of a human penis. Despite the trend towards softer toys, I can only recommend this for really girthy toys (especially knotty) and not too long toys. Otherwise the toy gets too hard to handle and flop around. Though it could work for the Bulge Ball when you use it with a partner. Accordingly 75% is firm like a ¾ firm dick and the sweet spot between ergonomics and if you like a soft and gentle massage. Med Firmness should be as hard as a fully erect dick (though I have been fucked by harder ones, believe me…) which makes all texture more noticeable and the toy less bendy which is important when you want to take it deep! Last year MHT added an Extra Firm option which is good if you want to put pressure on the prostate for milking.

If these arguments did not convince you to pay the premium for the more expensive material and manufacturing of silicone toys, hopefully this will: Both PVC and rubber emit plasticizers which for example can fuck with your hormones or be carcinogenic and are greedly absorbed directly into your bloodstream through your rectum’s mucosal. Platinum silicone on the other hand is a 100% body safe (silicone can also be cured with lead which is of course cheaper but introduces heavy metals into your body which causes a number of other issues!). Furthermore, its surface is supersmooth which not only makes it harder to bacteria to linger but also makes it easier for the toy to glide in – unlike the porous surface of PVC and rubber. Cleaning is equally easy as taking the toy: Throw them in warm soap water (I usually take a relaxing bath with my toys after a long play session), rub the lube away, rinse the soap water off and spray sanitizer on the toy. This easy cleaning makes silicone toys the perfect tools for group settings where multiple partners want to use the same toys after each others.

The Texture Bands deviding the Slope into Sections

Silicone has one small (?) drawback: It must not be used with silicone lube. The silicone oil inside the lube solvates the surface, makes it sticky and will disintegrate the toy over time. In order to enjoy your high quality toys as long as possible, please stick to water or oil based lubes.

Playing with Traffic Cone

I often get questions about cone shape toys like the Traffic Cone if this shape is not the perfect toy to the anus because it gradually gets bigger. Technically yes. If you sit on a cone for an extended period of time, the pressure will open the anus over time. It is not a smooth relaxation but a mechanical forcing open and the anus giving in more and more over time. This of course carries the risk of tears  and other injuries.

Practially, no. Physically, the anus is not round but oval. So if you want to smooth your anus and train it to open up, a toy with a slightly oval intersection that you push in aligned with the anus and pull it out 90° turned is better. The training is also more effective if there is a stretch going in and out for what you need a plug with a neck. Speaking of plugs, there is also a large psychological moment when training your ass. When you have worked for weeks trying to take a pugs and your anus finally swallows the apex to close around the neck, you get a dopamine boost through the sense of accomplishment. You can literally feel that you have taken the plug. With the Traffic Cone there is little indication of progression. There are slightly recessed hexagonal textured bands which divide the cone in sections. But the texture is so shallow and light that you hardly notice them, especially when your anus is straining.

Important Safety Advice on the Base of the Traffic Cone

So, for whom is the Traffic Cone? There is a small subgroup in the anal stretching community who just like the feeling of their anus being dilated to the max. For them, this toy provides the best stretch for their buck. When I first posted pics of the Traffic Cone, I immediately got questions where the toy was from because sitting on a traffic cone was one of their fetishes. There are also a number of porn creator videos featuring this toys which got many likes and positive comments. So there is a very niche fetish market for the toy.

But for the average anal afficionade, for people who want to train their hole, there are dozens of more fun toys reviewed here.

One use of the Traffic Cone should not be overlooked: It is functional playroom decoration. The base has “Caution: Open Hole” embossed on its side. Especially in effect colors like glow in the dark of UV active, the Traffic Cone sets the mood. And if someone wants to pig out on a traffic cone, unlike the real deal made out of plastic with its sharp edges, it is ready to use.

The Dull top of the Flattend Spheres that Make Up the Bulge Balls

Playing with HotKinkyJo Bulge Ball

As the name says, this toy was designed together with the female extreme anal stare HotKinkyJo who to probably nobody’s surprise I have never heard before getting this toy.

The toy is made out of slightly compressed spheres stacked upon each other. The spheres always have a diameter of 70,m but depending on the toy size you get between 4 (20cm insertable length) and 7 (34cm insertable length) of them. The neck where two spheres meet has a diameter of 52mm. The spheres are very slightly textured with the line drawings found on basket balls. But like on the traffic cone, the texture is almost unnoticeable and does not make taking the toy more difficult.

The Wave like flow of Apex and Neck for Intense Prostate and Anus Stimulation

Depending in the chosen firmness, the Bulge Ball behave differently. Mine are in 75% which is soft enough for the toy to bend between the balls but the toy stands up right. In this configuration, it works a bit like anal beads with a series of stretching & opening and closing again. The toy can also curl a bit inside the rectum like beads do so if you are trained and your rectum is large, you will probably be able to take surprisingly much of this toy without having to go deep. Since the stretching is one of the most desired sensations in anal play and because the Bulge Balls are stiff enough to be controlled easily, you can really ride or punch with this toy, driving the bottom into bliss.

A friend has ordered his Bulge Ball in Extra Firm but went for the short 4 balls version. With tip being rather flat and dull, a loose and experienced hole is required. Once inside the body, the balls apply pressure onto the prostate. The space between the apexes is large enough to catch the prostate between them. Because of this, with a bit of practice, the Bulge Ball can be used for prostate milking.

Where to buy?

MHT has some retailers. But with highly particular toys like these two niche toys, I recommend ordering from their website and customizing it to your exact preferences.

 

Gideon & WereRoscoe

Weredogs WereRoscoe & Gideon

Vendor: Weredog

Construction

For almost 10 years I have only been reviewing anal toys made out of platinum silicone for a good reason. Unlike toys or PVC or rubber, they do not emit plasticizers which can be hazardous when being absorbed through the mucosal in your rectum. Unlike the other two materials, the surface is super-smooth and not porous which in the one hand makes taking the toys a bit easier by gliding in smoothly. And on the other hand, makes it more difficult for bacterial to linger. Cleaning them is also very easy: Throw them in warm soap water (or take a bath with them), wash the lube off, rinse, dry, spray sanitizer on them, done. Keeping them spot clean is very difficult however. The softer the silicone, the stickier it gets. As you can see in the pictures, there is always a bit dust and lints on them. There is one small drawback though: Silicone toys must not be used with silicone lube! The silicone oil inside the lube solvates the surface, making it sticky and disintegrates the toy over time. So please stick to water- or oil based lube.

Gideom’s Massice Shaft-to-Knot-to-Neck Ratio for Intense Knotting und Secure Tying

Another benefit for the avid ass slut is that silicone comes in a wide range of firmness degrees while PVC and rubber are always rather firm. Weredog leans on the softer side of the spectrum. Their extra-soft is Shore 00-20 which is really squishy but be careful with creases. Soft equals Shore 00-30, a bit softer than the popular Topped Toys toy and still squishy / flexible. Their medium makes a big jump to Shore 00-50 which is firmer than Bad Dragon’s medium firmness which would convert to Shore 00-45. Finding the right firmness can be a bit tricky, especially when you are new to buying toys. The softer a toy, the harder it is to control which can be an issue the longer it gets. Also, were firm toys can force their way into a body (not that this is healthy…), a soft toy can compress and thus block the anus. If you have found you favorite firmness of toy, keep in mind that the larger the toy, the firmer it will feel. So give the firmness good thought.

The Relatively Simply Colored Rutt Between the Elaborate Fades of WereRuscoe and Gideon

Fantasy anthro toys quickly gained popularity through their elaborate colorations. Silicone is THE best material to take on color particles. Not only standard colors but also effect particles UV reactive, Glow in the Dark or glitter. With a lot of practice you can create elaborate fades and delicate marbles. How are Weredog has come in the last couple of years, can be easily seen when comparing the marble of Rutt which I have gotten 6 years ago and the finely drawn colors on Gideon and WereRoscoe. They really made a big leap forward. This is also reflected in the fact that they are now releasing limited edition colorations on a regular basis.

Playing with Gideon

If would have to describe Gideon in a single words I would be torn between “cheeky” and “malicious” due to his dual nature.

At the tip, he starts out with a smoothly and relatively steeply tapering glans for easy opening up. His glans is actually one of the smoothest ones of all the anthro toys which I have tested in the past 10 years. Around the glans runs a bulgey glans drop which while steep is not vertical. So there is a noticeable pop going in. The sphincter can comfortably close around it to lock the toy in.

Gideon’s Softly Tapering Glans

Below the shaft sits a typical canine shaft: Three cavernous bodies both vertically and horizontally bulge around the core with a little bit narrower, giving it a barrel-shape. A little bit deeper ventral groove sits at the bottom adding the largest amount of structure (I refuse to call these flowing rounded forms “texture”). In addition there are two shallow and wide veins which also are also more an optical effect than stimulating texture.

Like on all dog penises, the apex of the shaft sits in the part of the shaft, close to the glans. It is only about 12% larger than the glans. So if loosen the anus through popping in of the glans and turning movements, you should be able to conquer this stretch easily. Due to decreasing in diameter downwards, the shaft glides in easily – until you hit your personal depth limitation (more about depth later). Especially when you get the toy in (extra) soft silicone, the anus can squeeze the cavernous bodies in the direction of lowest resistance. So riding the shaft is gentle and gradual stretch which feels a bit uncommon because the stretch happens upward. When playing with a top, turning the toy stretches a bit more and loosens the sphincter which you are going to need because…

Gideon’s Knot with the Small Bulges between the Knot and the Shaft

The knot is massive! Huge! Ass busting! The shaft-to-knot ratio is an absurdly insane 1:2! It is the largest ratio in my entire toy collection. Above the knot there are two small bulges on both sides of the shaft. They are probably supposed to make the transition from shaft to know a bit more easily; if you attached the knot straight to the shaft, there would be a recess to overcome before opening for the knot. But the added texture adds a bit of “stress” to the sphincter. Though, to be frank, it you are confident to take the knot, you will be loose enough to not care about these obstacles.

The knotting experience is one of the, if not these most intense in the market. The knot orientation is purely perpendicular to the shaft. So you can either align it with the ass crack for a bit easier entry or turn it 90° for maximum ass busting. While bulging a lot, it is also a little bit taller and less compact than other knots. So there is some gradual stretching. On the other hand, it adds a lot of mass! So once you have gotten over the apex and it is getting sucked into your rectum, the sensation changes from “Oh fuck! I cannot possibly take it!” over “Holy fuck! So BIG!” to “Motherfucker, I am full! Get it out”!” But good luck with that. The neck-to-knot ratio is 1:2.2. Once the anus closes around the neck, you are truly tied. Taking Gideon out again ideally takes both pushing and tugging. Once out, you are left with an intense feeling of emptiness. And probably a strong craving of taking him again. And again. And again.

Gideon’s Thick Base which could easily house a Suction Cup

His base is a nice circular steep cone which is a bit larger than the knot. Since the big knot would need to go through the second sphincter, I cannot possibly see how you could accidentally swallow the base.

Sadly, Weredog does not offer suction cups for their toys. An intense toy like Gideon is most likely be bought in extra soft so it will be floppy. When playing in your own, you will probably need several attempts to take the toy. So a firm stand is beneficial. And finally, many enjoyers of knotted toys want to take it doggy style by attaching it to a tiled walled. So a suction cup would be awesome.

Circling back to the beginning, for whom it Gideon? Starting out so nicely, he could easily seduce beginners. And rightly so! Due to the extremely wide range of sizes (the Mini has a knot diameter of just 4cm) and soft silicone, even a novice with a bit of anal experience can already experience the intense tying. Though I would strongly recommend to pre-stretch with a plug! On the other end of the spectrum, go crazy! I have “just” gotten the XL and it is already massive and long! In order to fully enjoy the knotting and tying, you really need depth experience. And the XXL is just absurd. And if I did not know guys who regularly ride it, I would call it a novelty toy.

WereRoscones Dull Glans

If you struggle with depth and still want an intense knotting, take a look at my review of Weredogs Duster and Dagger who are almost as intense yet considerably shorter.

Playing with WereRoscoe

While the upper half of Gideon at least makes a gently introduction and entry of the toy, WereRoscoe does not fuck around. The tip of the glans is a dully flattened half-dome which sits on top of a flat wide bulge which runs around the glans.

The bottom of the bulge is steep and ends in a recess that runs around the glans. This is not a glans drop, this is a trench. Once locked in, the spincter has to work to get out of it. Apparently, Roscoe has been cut high & loose because around the shaft runs a perpendicular cluster of ridges and welts.

The Chasm between the Glans and the Shaft being bordered by the thick Glans Rim Bulge and the Scar Tissue a top of the Shaft

Like on his canine predecessor, the short shaft is barrel-shaped. Only this time, it is a bulging barrel without added structure through cavernous bodies, merging human and canine physiology for there Were idea of the toy. Like on canine dicks, the apex is yet again quite high up and tapers again towards the bottom. The shaft is a bit textured with a thick ventral groove sitting on top of the shaft’s bottom. Also both shaft, ventral groove and knot are textured with narrower and taller veins so especially in firmer firmnesses they are quite noticeable.

The knot is made out of two huge spheres which sit below the shaft. With the shaft to knot ratio of 1:1.7 they are still on the more intense end of the knotting spectrum. Since they are a little bit clinched spheres, pushing them in takes a bit more relaxation of the sphincter. Especially in softer firmnesses, sitting on them compresses and widens the knot, making taking it actually more difficult. But once inside, an intense feeling of fullness overcomes you!

The Ventral Groove and Thick Veins texture WereRoscoe’s Shaft

Yet it takes a trained hole to completely take the knot. The neck above the anatomically correct pouch which on dogs houses the dick is just one finger thick. So there is very little room for the anus to grasp. Unlike Gideon, WereRoscoes base is HUGE. Two massive balls textured with fur give him a secure stand and ample space to grip if you are playing with a partner.

None of his features makes WereRoscoe a gentle or beginner’s toy. In order to just take the glans, you need to be able to relax your already loose and pre-stretched sphincter very intentionally. While the barrel is huge, it is actually slightly smaller than the glans. So riding is fun due to the texture, but it does not add looseness and relaxation which could you prepare you for the knot. The knotting itself is intense though not quite as like on Gideon. There sheer volume of it is what blows your mind. And that your sphincter can barely close once knotted. While tying it possible, it will not be as tight are with Gideon because your spincter will always be a bit open.

The Massive Natural Base and almost non-existant Neck

Where to buy?

While Weredog has some retailers in the UK, the best way to order a customizable toy is through the manufacturer’s website. Especially with intense toys like Gideon and WereRoscoe, be sure you get the right firmness and not one the store’s purchases selected for you. Also, with orders from the website, you can get gorgeous limited edition colorations.

Pegger Grinder

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.

Perfect Penis

The AI designed Perfect Penis from MHT

Vendor: Mr Hankeys Toys

AI is entering every part of our lives these days. Apparently also our playroom through dildo making. Mr Hankeys Toys claims to have entered numerous studies about the most comfortable and appreciated penis shapes into an AI to come up with this dildo shape. Let’s get down this rabbit hole towards what is maybe the future of sexual pleasure…

Construction

What material to choose for the perfect penis than the (almost?) perfect material for anal toys: Platinum silicone. Unlike its competitors like PVC or rubber, it is a 100% body safe. It supersmooth surface does not only make it hard for bacteria to linger but also makes taking the dildo easier. Please only use water or oil based lubes when playing with silicone toys. The silicone oil in silicone oils solvates silicone, makes the surface sticky and over times destroys the toy. Silicone toys are also easy to clean. If you want to be extra sure, you can autoclave them but or throw them into the dish washer (be careful with soft silicone toys as the metal studs in the dishwasher rack can leave permanent dent in the toy). But taking a warm bath with the toys, let them soak, rinse them off and spray sanitizer on them also does the trick.

The Smooth Tapering Glans

Silicone come be made in a wide range of firmnesses usually measured in the Shore scale. But sadly most toy makers make a big mystery about what actually firmness they are using. MHT has four firmness degrees: 40% which according to their website is about 40% erectness of a human penis. Despite the trend towards softer toys, I can only recommend this toy for really girthy (especially knotty) and not too long toys. Otherwise the toy gets too hard to handle and flop around. Accordingly 75% is firm like a ¾ firm dick and the sweet spot between ergonomics and if you like a soft and gentle massage. Med Firmness should be as hard as a fully erect dick (though I have been fucked by harder ones, believe me…) which makes all texture more noticeable and the toy less bendy which is important when you want to take it deep! Last year MHT added an Extra Firm option which is good if you want to put pressure on the prostate for milking.

The Big Solid Base

A great property of silicon is that it can easily take on colors. So MHT offers a wide range of different colors and pattern. While I like my dildos colorful (this one is a silver & gun metal marble with metallic effect), for realistic dildos pale flesh, natural tan, deep brown and black are the most popular ones.

If you order a toy from MHT, spend the extra $5.95 and add the Vac-U-Lock hole. This hole in the base is made to connect the toy to various accessories from grips over suction cups to fuck machines. When I am playing with a partner, I put my thumb into the hole for easier guiding and controlling. For me, this small surcharge drastically improves play quality and ergonomics.

The Very Smooth Ventral Groove

Playing with the Perfect Penis

The Perfect Penis starts out with a medium-pointy softly tapering glans. The glans rim is quite bulgey over a surprisingly steep glans drop. This is the most intense texture you will get in the entire toy! The Perfect Penis has been cut high and tight because the corona below the glans is wide and smooth, bordered by a small rim.

Below that the smooth shaft starts. It is textured by skin microtexture and about 1 ½ relatively shallow veins. There is a shallow ventral groove which becomes a little more prominent further down.

The base are quite large low hangers which are sitting on a base. The tall and thick base does not only give the toy a good and firm stand, but also elevates the penis a bit which makes riding it a bit more easily. However, grabbing the toy for thrusting when you are lying on your back it a bit more difficult. The base is more than a hand full for most palm sizes. For this kind of play, I recommend a Vac-u-Lock grip.

Can you Spot the Vein „texturing“ the Shaft?

So, how is play with the Perfect Penis like. Smooth to the degree of being almost plain. The glans opens you up easily and evenly with the rim giving a bit of an edgy pop. In skilled hands with larger sizes the drop is large enough for good prostate stimulation. Especially the smooth area below the glans provides a nice contrast to the sudden edge.

Being so smooth the shaft glides in without any issues. Especially when you use thicker lube, the microtexture is completely smoothed over. The veins are so shallow than they do not hindering a flowing insertion. Like most penisses in the wild, the shaft has an oval profile. For easy entry, push him in perpendicular because than he aligns with the opening of the anus. Gently twists and turns while fucking help the sphincter to relax and open up. The shaft diameter almost unnoticeable increases in diameter so there is little stretching sensation while riding the shaft. This easiness makes the toy a perfect ready-to-use toy. If the size fits you, you do not need pre-stretching or preperations. Add lube, put it in and enjoy it at your own pace straight out of the delivery box.

The Life Casts from Porn Creaters are significantly more Textured than the Perfect Penis

Usually in this part of the review I rave about more or less intense texture which stimulates the anus as an nerve-ending rich body part. The Perfect Penis is plain in the best or worst way. It is perfect for beginners or people who want a relaxed, easy experience. Judging from the number of reader questions I get asking for relaxed (self-)play toys because their partner are too big/ too quick/ does not listen when communicated to or cannot translate the bottom’s feedback into action, I see a big market for this toy. But the seasoned fist slut who is the average reader of my anal toy reviews, I think MHT makes a lot of more interesting toys.

Since I have reviewed many of their realistic toys which have been modeled after real porn creator members, I look at these toys: They all have deeper textured, more a more complex profile, thicker glanses. Which makes me wonder, do porn performer professional holes to be enjoyed properly since their dicks deviate so much from what MHT’s AI believes is the perfect dick? In the end, the AI label is a nice marketing stunt and I am very happy that I have added another review to my small repertoire of easy instant use realistic toys.

You can customize and order the Perfect Penis at Mr Hankeys Toys website starting at $125.95 and ending a little bit north of $200 in the largest size with ALL the extras added.

Lilac Experience & Shroomie

The Fruity Bee Toys Shroomy and Lilac Experience

Vendor: Fruity Bee Toys

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and maybe some of you are still in the dog house because you forgot to get your loved one something special. Originating in Roman traditions this day was turned into a commercial opportunity in the middle of the 19th century becoming one of the major holidays of consumerism. And while this website primary audience have always been gay men*, especially the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day, I get a lot of questions what to get a kinky lady*.

In old ToyTorture.com tradition, I am arriving late to the party with this review. Fruity Bee Toys is a relatively new toys brand from Germany who has a female customer in mind. Their designs are a bit more delicate and less wider, bigger, more intense than designs from other toy companies. This is also reflected in their size range. While all toys are available in different sizes, at max. diameters just going beyond 5cm diameter, they are not for fist sluts or size queens.

At this point I want to explicitly thank the FtMs in my testee panel who gave me valuable insights how well these toys play in the front yard.

Lilac’s Tip. You can see how quickly silicone attracks dust

Construction                                                                     

Every orifice that we can stick toys into our body is at least partly lined with a mucosa that can absorb substances quite easily. Because of this, using only body safe toys is important. So almost a decade I have only reviewed stainless steel and primarily platinum silicone toys which is the sole material Fruity Bee Toys uses. Unlike PVC or rubber which can emit potentially dangerous plasticizers, platinum cured silicone is 100% body safe. The supersmooth surface makes not only taking the toy a bit easier but also makes it more difficult for bacteria to linger. Cleaning is easy by throwing it into hot water with dish soap, rinse and spray sanitizer on it after drying. Like all toys, platinum silicone toys should only be with alike materials since plasticizers can destroy other materials when touching or even being exposed to the vapors. The same accounts for silicone oil which will solvate silicone. Because of this, silicone toys must not be used with silicone lube but only water or oil based ones.

The Floral Relief on Shroomy’s Base

Also for toy making itself, silicone is a superior material: The originally milky-white material takes on colors and effect particles very easily. Fruity Bee Toys offer 32 different colors, either as solids or two and three color marbles. I ordered my toys as “surprise me” since I like to see how a manufacturer sees and wants to present themselves. My guess is, being a female oriented company, they chose to white and pastel marbles. But they also offer darker and more andro-associated combos. Silicone also comes in a wide range of firmnesses. Their range is between Shore 00-50 and A10 so a bit on the medium to firmer end of the range which considering their designs make sense.

Playing the Lilac Experience

According to their website, Fruity Bee Toys takes their inspiration from nature. This theme is very present at this toy. The upper third of the shaft is textured with dozens of lilac blossoms next to each other. It is slightly curving inwards towards the tip of the toy until it ends in a small cluster of tiny closed buds. The rest of the shaft is textured with the relief of wide leaves wrapping around the straight shaft. At the bottom the shaft it steeply tapers into a base about twice the diameter of the toy. So there is not chance of accidentally taking it fully. Sticking with the nature theme, the base is textured with different flowers blossoms and butterflies.

The Upward Bending Tiü of Lilac Experience

The highly textured tip is made for intense stimulations yet slow play. The cluster of cups in shape of the calyxes create tiny sucking vacuums and flexible blossom borders massage the surface. Slowly moving the toy, applying pressure and twisting it gently gives the texture the time to grip and release which creates the strongest feelings. Using the toy rapidly will give you the feeling of a slightly coarse yet even surface. The effect comes out the strongest at nerve-end rich body regions like the anus lips and prostate. According to my FtM testees, the upward curvature makes this toy especially good for targeting the g-spot when fucking. They also gave the tip good grades for clitoral stimulation.

The Shallow Texture of the Leaves Around Lilac’s Shaft

The texture of the shaft is almost unnoticeable, especially when riding it. If you really focus on them while turning the toy in the hole(s), you can feel the lateral edges but they are too many, too shallow and too random to create a flow experience like when two big vein or ventral grooves cover a shaft.

At first I considered the flowers around the base just a nice design element. But they are actually useful. The Lilac is a toy which requires very precise steering. The added texture of the florals adds a good amount of grip to the otherwise smooth and round base.

The Lilac Experience has an insertable length of about 20.5cm and a max diameter of 4.5cm, costs 79.99€ and is exclusively available at Fruity Bee Toys website. In addition to it, there is also the Lilac Sensation for 49.99€which is both smaller and shorter. Its tip also does not have the curvature. If you own this toy or have played with it, please let me know how it feels!

Shroomy’s Lightly Texture Head

Playing with the Shroomy

Like on the Lilac you can immediately tell nature’s inspiration for the Shroomy. The tip is softly tapering a double-cone, much like on a mushroom. The upper conies texture with shallow and flat dots, three-dimensional recreating the pattern of a fly agaric (plus one heart shaped one I guess for cuteness). Starting downwards from the apex and going over a spherical thickening in the middle of the shaft are lateral lamellae like you would find in the underside of a mushroom. Below the central bulge the shaft slightly widens and is texture with faint twines. The flat round base is yet again textured with blossoms.

While the Lilac is a toy that plays with subtlety, the Shroomy is blunt: It is made for pressure stimulation, either on the prostate of the g-spot. The cone shape allows to grind and attack these sensitive areas precisely. One of my bi testees called the toy a “bottle opener” since handled correctly, it makes prostate fluids flow and front holes squirts. While the shallow dots on the top are a nice design feature, you do not really feel them. If you are not that stretched, the added friction makes taking the toy actually a bit more difficult. So the Shroomy is not a width training plug but made for welcoming and accommodating holes.

The Texture of Shroomy’s Shaft

The lamellae are also a nice visual touch. But when you are so tight, you can still noticeable feel them, taking the head will probably be a challenge. Same accounts for the bulge in the middle: Nice indicator how deep you have already taken the toy. But if it gives you a noticeable stretch sensation of helps to keep the toy locked deep inside you during longterm, taking the head out will be busting.

When playing with the Shroomy, you have to be a bit careful not to get too greedy because the base is only slightly smaller than the head diameter. Since the Shroomy is designed to put pressure on sensitive areas, I would have wished for a more ergonomic (= elongated) base. The base is small enough to fit comfortably between your cheeks or thighs for long term wear but an ergonomic base would be even more comfortable.

The Shroomy comes in two sizes which both have an insertable length of 12.5cm: The Destroying Angle with head diameter of 4.8cm at 39.99€ and the Death Cap measuring 4cm in diameter at 29.99€.

Vendor: SquarePeg

Almost 30 years ago, SquarePeg was the first ever company to manufacture anal toys for the kink market out of platinum silicone. Scott, the founder of SquarePeg is a trained woodworker and sculptor. His profession in combination with being an avid anal aficionado and through this interested in rectal anatomy led to a very special approach in toy design: Each toy is carefully designed with a special purpose and stimulation inside the anus, rectum, sigmoid and colon in mind. So while his toys are not the biggest or the most complex, they are the easiest to handle and control ones that deliver targeted stimulations which can quickly drive you to ecstasy (or anal orgasms).

The SqaurePeg Slim Longneck, Slink Tickler & Depth Probe v4.0

Before I dive into the review of these three depth toys, a quick shortcut for all who want to start out with depth play: These are not beginner’s toys! If you want to explore depth, buy a SquarePeg Thick Worm. In my opinion the best toy to slowly stretch and desensitize your second sphincter and sigmoid. If you already have a bit of depth experience or are curious about the what toys will await you in your journey deep down, welcome to this review!

Construction

Back in 1997, Scott decided to make toys out of platinum silicone not only it was the easiest material to handle for small edition but also for its material properties. Back then, rubber and vinyl toys which then almost all emitted dangerous plasticizers (those old enough can still remember the distinct sex store smell) were the standard. Using a 100% body safe material like platinum silicone (and still one of the few companies only using US made raw materials) was revolutionary in the old millenium.

As someone how likes to play hard, the super-smooth surface which not only made taking the toy easier but also kept bacteria from lingering was an advantage. To clean silicone toys, simply throw it into warm soap water, sanitize and you are ready to use it on someone else, making it the perfect material for group settings.

The Differently Shaped Bases

The only drawback is, that silicone toys must not be used with silicone lube. The silicone lube will solvate the silicone, leading to a sticky surface and over time will disintegrate the toy. If you stick to water- or oil-based lubes you will be fine. Since platinum silicone is the material also used for medical purposes, a well kept toy will bring fun to your heirs….

Silicone can come in various firmness degrees but SquarePeg only offers two: Supersoft and Firm. For various reasons, they do not publish firmness degress but my best guess is that the Supersoft is somewhere between Shore 00-20 and 00-30, the firm more at 00-50. Beware: The thicker a toy is, the firmer and less flexible it will feel.

While silicone can easily take on color and thus is now popular with fantasy toy makers, SquarePeg (used) to have a simply color scheme: bronze and grey called graphite for Supersoft, black for firm. Now you can also get Supersoft in black. They puppy tails can be ordered in 13 colors and a small number of toys come in purple, but bronze, grey and black are the main and thus iconic colors for SP.

Playing the Depth Probe v4.0

The toy name is very telling. It is a toy to probe the depth of your colon. Back in June of 2018 I reviewed the first (?) depth probe. Frankly, I do not know where the v4.0 in the name comes from since I have not been aware of design changes. Maybe SP did two design experiments which never reached the market until the new one was released? But as far as I know, only these two version are available so don’t be confused by the name.

The Bend Pointy Tip of the new Depth Probe

The new depth probe starts out with a pointy, slightly inward curved tip. Below the tip is a 1mm drop. Then over the length of one inch it slightly increases in size until dropping again. This continues with continuously slightly decreasing diameter until you the bar-shaped bottom.

The only design element the new depth probe shares with his predecessor is the handle at the bottom. It is large enough to be comfortably accommodate four fingers and still allow for a good grip. That makes the toy easy to control.

On the old toy the tip was a dull, 5cm long thickening which “forced” its way through the colon. With the new design the pointy tip can slip into a tight opening. Since the tip is bend and tapers conically, you can slowly widen and relax the tight spots by turning the toy while moving it slightly back and forward. This is a huge improvement and makes going deep easier and way more enjoyable.

The previous model has a smooth shaft with depth markers in inch embossed into the shaft. The new segments have several impact into the experience. They at a slight bit of stability as there are not “weak-“ or bendspots every inch which makes the toy a bit less slippery. The texture also adds stimulation by slightly massaging the sphincters. On the other hand, the added texture and stimulation also makes taking the toy a bit more difficult while at the same time makes it a bit more difficult to push out. So making pauses in the process is a bit easier. Overall, my testees enjoyed the pointy tips way more as they were irritated by the texture. So I would call the new design a win.

The Head and Shaft of the New Compared with the Old Depth Probe

The Depth Probe v4.0 comes in three sizes: Slim short at 378mm length, a diameter tapering from 27mm at the tip to 25mm above the base and costing $79, medium with 521mm usable length, a taper from 37mm to 32mm at $129 and finally the slim ling with an enormous length of 1021mm and tapering from 34mm to 28mm for $189.

For my toy collection I chose the medium length for several reasons: The slim short is so short that I have slim dildos which are longer. For petite guys this might be a sensible size but every toy shorter than 400mm usable length is not a depth toy in my books. The slim long is so long it is hard to control to the degree of almost not being usable. Especially with lubey hands it flops around. The handling improved once about half the toy is inside the bottom – which is one medium depth probe length being quickly pushed into the bottom which is only possible with a very experience depth player. I once had the “pleasure” of playing with the slim long and being so long and slim, it gave me a bit of colonoscopy vibes once we passed the halfway point. When playing with such a long toy on a small bottom, you need to be careful not to cross from the large to the small intestine. This can lead to potentially lethal infections!

Head of the Slim Longneck (left) and Slink Tickler (right)

Playing with the Slink Tickler and Slim Longneck

Apparently, this is the review of curious product name choices. While I understand why one toy is called a a Longneck and for the other I can deduce why it is called a Slink, they are so similarly designed that I will review them together.

What I don’t understand is the name choice for the Slink Tickler! Back in 2020 I bought and reviewed a Slink textured with bumps all over the shaft from Regulation, called the Slink Tickler. This particular version of the Slink is not sold anymore so I guess the name is now free for a toy designed to tickle you deep down. But if you talk about the Slink Tickler low, make sure you and your conversation partner are meaning the same toy.

The „old“ Slink Tickler on fhe Left

Both toys start out with a drawn out pointy head that has a small kink where the steepness increases thus mimicking the shape of a hand ready to fist. On the Slim Longneck the 95mm long head is almost round measuring 42x45mm at its widest and the kink is on the upper this. At the top’s bottom of the head there is groove which I first thought was a dent the toy got during storage in my playroom. But the same dent was on the product pictures. Neither my testees now I could figure out what the groove was for as it was not noticeable. If you have felt it or figured out what it is for, let me know! On the Slink Tickler the head is 5mm longer and flatter at 32x42mm with the kink in the middle.

Below the head the shaft is round and smooth. It gently increases in size like on all Slinks. The Slink Tickler increased form 28mm to a max diameter of 57mm before quickly tapering towards 38mm and then flowing into the base. On the Slim Longneck the initial diameter below the head is 33mm. It gently tapers to about 40mm before just below the neck there is a plug-like increase in diameter to 55mm before quickly tapering to the necks 42mm.

The base of both toys is oval and tapering towards the neck. While it is not as easy to grip as on the Depth Probe, you still have a good level of control. A nifty design feature of the base is the point. It tells you where the tip is pointing towards, making navigating the toy a bit easier when pushing the toy into a bottom.

The Base of the two Slink Ticklers

The Slim Longneck is only available in firm black and costs $119. The Slink Tickler costs $169 and is also available in Supersoft Bronze and Graphite. After having played with the Supersoft versions, I went for the firm because they are so floppy and hard to control with lubey hands. Since the shaft of the Tickler is so thin, the material of both the head and the upper half of the shaft is still what I could consider soft and very bendy so going deep even around tight bends is easily possible.

If you want to go – to quote the Doors – deep and wide, SP also offers Longlong Neck with is REALLY long and thick!

Vendor: Friendly Toy

About 1½ years ago Friendly Toys from Canada entered the scene and I have quickly gotten review requests for their purpose driven designed toys. So I was lucky that they attended Dore Alley where I could get myself both the Wonder and the Snuckle. While I have gotten more review requests for the Wonder, I am starting with the Snuckle because you need toys to train your hole in order to take the Big Boys I am usually reviewing.

Construction

Snuckle is a training plug which is designed to help open the sphincter up to a fist. Unlike other butt plugs which try to open up the sphincter as evenly and gently as possible, Snuckle imitates the anatomy of a folded hand. The dullish, slightly slanted tip tapers steeply on the bottom and more softly and slightly curved inwards towards the maximum apex. This unusual curvature mimics the way the fingers bend and creates a slight ridges like knuckles on a hand. Below the apex, the slope degree changes with the top being steep and the bottom shallow, mimicking the decrease in diameter towards wrist. This is actually a quite ingenious design because the when your anus is trained to a different steepness when pushing in and pulling out thus maximizing the trainings effect. The wrist neck is short yet wide enough for the sphincter comfortably close around it without any stretch. The base is thick and wide for both a good grip during selfplay and to prevent the base form accidentally slipping in.

The Friendly Toys Snuckle

All Friendly Toys are made out of platinum silicone making them 100% body safe and easy to clean. Its super smooth surface facilitates easy insertion – if you stick to water or oil based lubes. Sadly, the silicone oil in silicone lube disintegrates the surface of silicone toys, making them sticky and destroying them over time. So stay away from silicone lube when playing with silicone toys. After play, silicone can be cleaned easily by letting the toy soak in warm soap water, let dry and finally spray sanitizer on the toy.

Besides the health and handling advantage, silicone can easily be colored. At the moment, Friendly Toys offers only solid colors and no patterns like marbles or fades. You can choose between a hot pink, bright orange, slightly greenish yellow, purplish blue, deep teal and classic black. While platinum silicone can come in various firmness degrees, Friendly Toy only uses Shore 00-30 which is quite soft.

Snuckle’s Dull Tip

While Snuckle comes in a wide range of sizes, the toy is clearly targeted at more ambitious players. The smallest size is 18cm circumference  which is thicker than a generous dick. The range ends at a big 34cm circumference where despite being made out of a very soft material, you are starting to enter double small fist territory.

Playing with Snuckle

Snuckles is what I call a purpose designed toy. It has little frills (more about that below) and has been designed with one task in mind: Imitating the rough shape of a hand getting ready to penetrate the sphincter for a full fisting. It excels all other toys in this. From the dullish tip which feels like fingers pressed together to minimizes the footprint over the gradual increase until the ridge which feels like the knuckles to the steep decrease on the neck which emulates the wrist. The entire toy feels very close to a hand without the ruggedness a realistic hand cast often has. So it is perfect for getting accustomed to, training and stretching – if it wasn’t for the firmness.

Widde Base which makes Snuckle Easy to Hold

What is “the” best firmness for a toy and especially a trainings plug is an almost religious discussion. Many people prefer as soft as possible which Friendly Toy definitively is. Being one of the softest in the market, it is even softer than their local rivals from Topped Toys which use Shore 00-33 silicone. Softness means gentle opening up and easy slipping through. Generally there is less struggle going in and out. My softness loving testees celebrated the squishiness and really enjoyed the quick popping in when the sphincter gave in to the toy and the gently dragging pull when being pulled out. But softness also increases the chance of skin folds getting caught causing unintended and unpleasant pinching. And while soft toys gently pushes open, the contrast to a rather firm hand is quite intense. I used to say that when you can take a plug with 7cm diameter, you were ready for a fist. This rule of thumb does not apply for such soft toys! Another disadvantage is that when you are not relaxed or did enough pre-stretching, the tip can flatten against the sphincter, making entry even more difficult.

The softness also gives away a bit of possible frills. The dull tip and ridge would have made the Snuckle a great toy for targeted prostate stimulation. But it is hard to really apply intense pressure with the soft toy. You can definitively feel something but it is not as intense as with firmer toys.

The Ridge Which Mimics the Knuckles of the Wirst

However, the base is highly functional. It is ergonomically shaped so it fits well between the cheeks when keeping in the plug for an extended period of time. The front tip is a bit thinner, longer and pointed for external prostate pressure massage. Yet it is too soft to have a noticeable effect when grinding the plug on the taint. The back tip is wider and shorter to close off on the buttocks perfectly. The base is large enough for a secure grip for selfplay. When your hands are lubey the soft tips can easily slip away so be careful when you yank with full force.  Due to the soft material Snuckle is actually one of the plugs you can wear the longest because your rear muscles will simply push the soft material into the right space.

Where to buy?

The Snuckle, like all Friendly Toys, are sold directly through their website. The toy starts out at at a very inexpensive 36.95€ for the smallest Snuckle 22 with 18cm circumference and goes up to 155.95€ for the BIG Snuckle 42. Friendly Toys vends at different events where they sell “flops”, marble colored toys which are made when switching from one silicone color to another at a discounted prices.

Pig-Hole Super-Max & Colossus

The Oxballs Colossus & Super-Max

Vendor: Oxballs

The Oxballs Pig-Hole is the most popular single toy on here. No reviews gets more clicks or traffic from search engines, no toy is the topic of more reader questions. Every time Oxballs just hints on social media that a new Pig-Hole is in the works, I get dozens of DMs if I already know more or have played with a prototype. Since I live about 9,500km away from the Oxballs HQ, I am sadly not part of that elite beta test circle. But I try to get my hands on the new toys as soon as possible and get you an educated opinion which proved a bit more challenging than the previous toys. But I am getting ahead of myself.

Construction

Even the new sizes follow the general design of the original toy. The opening at the top is a bit slanted with a tip for easier insertion. From the opening the body extends to a wide barrel shape and later tapers to a small neck until flowing into a base. The base has the same shape of the one of the Pig-Hole FF with recesses in the middle for better fitting between the cheeks.

The measurements of the toys are insanely huge:

Opening Barrel Neck Base Footprint
Super-Max 85x80mm 116x 112mm 78x73mm 128x112mm
Colossus 97x95mm 137x130mm 92x90mm 150x115mm

The Pig-Hol Colossus is so big, the Original Pig-Hole #5 Almost fits inside it with Ease

Both sizes are only cast in Oxballs’ softer Morph silicone which in theory makes handling and the taking of the toy easier. In order to keep it stable, even when the muscles try to push it out, all Pig-Holes have lateral ridges inside the barrel for added stability. But on these big boys the ridges inside the barrel scaled with the size. The massive increase in width and height makes them way more rigid. So even when your rectum contracts and wants to expel the BIG foreign object, the barrel will not compress, locking it in place. This of course makes also the insertion more difficult.  Especially the Colossus is almost impossible to fold even with dry hands. As soon you add lube, this becomes a slapstick act instead of a sexy process.

For the first time with Pig-Holes, both the Super-Max and the Colossus come in different colors: Plain black and blue have been standard colors for the toy range. But for the new sizes they have added the option to have a black base and neck and a barrel in either pink, yellow, purple, green or red. Since both colors of the platinum silicone are cast in following each other, the color sometimes creates a little marble effect on the base.

Playing with the Pig-Hole Super-Max & Colossus

I have a hard time calling these objects “toys” rather than novelty items. In my extended circle of greedy anal sluts who make up my testee panel I found one guy who could take the Super-Max after massive pre-stretching. This is mainly due to when folding the toy to insert it, your create a blunt and jagged surface of 60x50mm in the best case. But when you have lube on the toy and on your hands, you never reach that level of compression. So you basically try to push a soda can with an uneven top into your anus. Once inside, the Super-Max inflates quickly due to the stronger ridges. But having it inside is not the most comfortable thing because most rectums are smaller than the barrel. So instead of a comfortable filled feeling and forced openness, there is an uncomfortable feeling of fullness and pressure in your lower abdomen.

The good thing is, the lower opening is now so wide that a medium sized hand can push through without having to fight the material strength – if the anus does not compress the neck. With former Pig-Holes, you could use to toy to increase the size of knots and plugs. But except the largest toys (think SquarePeg Monster Egg or Bad Dragon Rex XL), the inside of the Super-Max is actually larger than the toy. Pushing such big toys in is actually a challenge because the ridges make the barrel so stiff, it takes a lot of force to expend.

Pulling the toy out feels more uncomfortable than a hard de-knotting. With the ridges inside prying the anus open from the inside, you have to pull until the muscle gives in and releases the toy. The Super-Max should not stay inside the rectum for too long. Because once the lube has been absorbed, getting it out is even more difficult.

So much about the Super-Max. Now let’s look at the Colossus. If you can get it to fold and stay folded – which is impossible once lube has been applied – the top has a footprint of 70x65mm and only gets bigger from there on. Since the barrel is so long, the strong ridges inside the barrel forces it to expend at the top while you are still pushing the toy through the sphincter – if you can find a bottom to accommodate it. The barrel is so absurdly large, that it is larger than even the most cavernous rectum. So I cannot imagine it being comfortable if you can get it somehow in. How to get it out is probably a different question. But these are all hypotheticals. I have not found a testee who could take the Colossus.

That both toys and especially the Colossus are novelty toys, also shows in its presence on social media and in retail. Usually, when a new Pig-Hole gets released, greedy bottoms rush to the shops to buy it and proudly display their gaping hole stuffed with a silicone tunnel plug. For the Colossus, I could only find a handful of media of the toy in use and for the Super-Max only slightly more. This might be partly due to not many stores selling it. Both new sizes are for such a niche audience that the risk of not selling it is probably too high.

After having played with the Super-Max a couple of times, I also wonder who would need it. Yes, there are a few fistees who have blown out their anus so much that they need a massive barrel to keep the toy from falling out. But these are only a few ones. For most other fistees the Pig-Hole FF or if that is too small the more textured Pig-Hole Popper Jumbo are easier to handle and offer the same play qualities.

As a novelty item in popping colors which intimidates newbies and makes seasoned players chuckle, the Colossus is a fun item. If you play with really greedy and loose holes, having the Super-Max ready when you need to challenge an over self-confident is also fun. But to be frank, for the price you pay, rather get the Pig-Hole FF and the Pig-Hole Popper Jumbo. In 99% of the cases you will get more and easier fun out of them. Because in the end, when a toy is too difficult to handle and too rarely used, you will put it out of sight and use it even less. Unless you present it as a decoration which I am doing with my Colossus.

Where to buy?

Both Pig-Holes can be ordered directly from Oxballs. The Super-Max costs $238 and the Colossus $298.
