I'm really craving a god anal toy. I've been thinking of the gryphon, but I'm still debating. I was thinking of getting a Rex and just using the shaft because that taper/bulge looks like it would feel mmmmmm
Winstons tail does nothing for me, and I kinda want something less textured. Mini bumble piques my interest but there are never any mini flops.

Anyone wanna chime in with a less conventional anal toy?

edit to say that the failed suction cup on my snow leopard actually sticks to the wall
Wouldn't work to ride it or anything, but it stuck to the shower wall and wouldn't move.
it's very, very shallow and off center. Didn't expect it to work!

Oddly enough my favorite anal toy these days has been my medium/medium Nocturne. The head shape makes insertion a breeze and the series of bulges help with gradual stretching and being able to tell just how far in it is, kinda feels like less abrupt anal beads or something. I haven't knotted him yet in that size yet but keep getting so freaking close xD

... Currently reevaluating my opinion of a) this sale and b) the gryphon and nocturne models.

Hmmmm.

Hmmmm.

I'm a big fan of the gryphon It was my first toy that wasn't some cheapo plastic thing, and I happen to find it to be just the right size and shape for me as a warm-up. It might be a little pointy for some people, though, so if you don't like pointy-toys it might be best to either get it in a soft or else pass on it.

Speaking of pointy-toys...I'm kind of rethinking the Demon Dick, even though it's so limited in options and doesn't have any in-stock inventory I don't really want to wait for a "custom" when there's no real choices involved.

The pointy-ness doesn't bother me, but I decided after much deliberation that the Gryphon just happens to be one of those toys that never hits quite right measurement-wise for me. Like, for me, the small is too small even to use anally, and the medium is too long to use vaginally and too big to use anally. I did end up buying a Nocturne, however.

I would also like there to be some choices with the demon dick :/ I'm not entirely certain how fond I am of the design, but if I could choose colors I'd be very tempted to get a demon dick for Crowley from Good Omens. As it is, the red-and-black-stereotypical-hellscape colors are really not his style and that pretty much kills my interest in it.

I suddenly have a mighty need for a small Apollo.
I didn't really like the soft Medium because the girth was painful even though I took bigger toys at the time, but the small looks very doable for me. There's not many reviews though unfortunately :(

Kinda reminds me of something I've wanted to say for a while.
I've seen users on here who say they don't bother with reviews because they feel like they're not useful.
I just want to say even if people don't always comment, like myself who lurks, they can be VERY helpful for newcomers and are very much appreciated!!
I can understand if its a time constraint though.

I might do a few reviews soon. I've been busy studying, so I just haven't got around to typing them up. I can say that I have a small/5 Apollo and I love him. He's wonderfully filling without being too much. I have some larger toys, but sometimes the stretch is too much for me or I'm not in the mood to work up to using one of them. With Apollo, the trouble might be because he's big all over without much of a gradual taper going on. If you can take toys bigger than the medium Apollo, then you should do just fine with the small. I held off a long time on getting an Apollo because I thought he'd be too similar to my small/3 Flint or other toys I have with similar circumferences, but he's actually very wonderful.

So, just discovered I can hilt my medium Pretzal (6.5" usable length) but not my Hanns (6.55" usable length). Huh. Shape thing?

Also, seconded about reviews... and even if there are reviews on a toy, that review might not be what I'm looking for. A review of a medium Nox for anal play doesn't tell me anything about how a medium Nox is for vaginal, for example.

I'm probably going to start reviewing once I have used all my toys a bit more, since other people's reviews are so helpful to me.

The main reason I don't really do reviews anymore is they can be time-consuming to write up, and there are times when I just can't quite articulate how the toy feels in use. The last time I wrote up a nice review (for my Echo) and included photos and squish gifs, it took me about three hours. The photos were only a small part of it and didn't take as much time as the typing. I will also admit that the lack of comments, is a turn-off. If I'm going to spend 3 hours on a review for zero acknowledgement...it just makes me feel like it wasn't worth the effort even if, to someone, it probably was.

I call bull shit
the 3 items that I would have bought this last sale, and thought I missed, have reappeared in inventory

catalog error?
possible

but for all 3?

As a new user, I can say that reviews are super helpful. Especially because the sales part of the website doesn't have tons of info (BD should probably excerpt the most helpful reviews, and put them on the product pages). And noobs (who might get the most out of reviews) probably don't feel justified commenting on review threads (I don't). Probably most comments would come from other users with the same toy. Also, there are probably tons of lurkers who will never comment on anything, because sex toys.

Regarding Apollo, the stem above the base (and the base too, somewhat) is rather slender, so consider a Firm Split, Wide Split, or a Firm (if that's a possibility for you). Mine is a Medium and I would prefer more strength there (it's not terrible though). Full disclosure: I generally prefer firm (for butt stuff). YMMV. Also, it looks better in person than in photos. Mine is a split color (solid color base, solid color shaft in Natural). I kinda wish I had gotten a more complex coloration. Overall, it's fun because it's a very unusual looking toy.

I cannot agree with these two points enough, i mean as much as i enjoy writing reviews of toys both those points reign true and it just kills writing for me. Currently got 4 reviews in the works that cover 10 different toys that are each around 50%-60% done that might not ever be completed as everytime i sit down to start i just think 'whats the damn point'. Its an absolute shame that there are not more people writing reviews for people to look over but in all honesty can anyone really blame people for not doing so

This is why I only write reviews when the mood strikes or I'm not working and bored. The most comments I've gotten on a review I think was 2. Yet hey had over 70 views . I like to think with all those views they are helpful to someone. So unfortunate BD hasn't been offering store credit for toy reviews for allegedly a long time.

I've gotten a few comments here and there on some of mine, but not many at all. For me, I have to be in the right mood to want to type it all up and most of the time I'm not in the mood to bother with it. I have a few toys that need a few more uses before I feel confident enough to write up any sort of review on them. I also have trouble describing how some toys make me feel, so I end up giving up.

Apollo

Thats great to hear.. thanks for providing some input !
Im generally a grinder so length isnt a concern and i want him to be filling but not painfully so. My small 3 flint wasnt nice (although i do kind of regret selling him since i only tried him once) but i think this one in a 3 will do nicely.

.

I was looking at a soft and generally i toy laying down so a flimsy base isnt going to be a hassle :) but thankyou for adding your input aswell.

Im definately decided on my next purchase. Asked if its possible to do a small Apollo in Shimmerscale and got approval :)

[Akanisen]

Can someone (or multiple people) with a JT answer me a question? About how much girth can JT take without risk of tearing would you say? I'm going to get one, and I don't wanna risk tearing him with some of my toys, so I wanted to ask.

Yeah, I used to do reviews back when I started on the BD path back in '10. As soon as I got the package, I took pictures. You know, unboxing, packing peanuts the whole nine. Then I'd have a round or two with my toys before I wrote down my thoughts. Then came the arduous task of in-use pics. It was difficult to get good picture until I found a webcam that would autotake photos every 5-10 seconds (as long as they was no movement)... I have to find out where I put that camera again.
So it was an involved process. I put some effort into not only the pictures, but the writing. Taking time to add a little humor and keep it from sounding technical.
The 5 dollar incentive was nice too. I mean we are taking the time.
