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.

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.

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. So if you want something more colorful or unique, check them out!
