Anal Fantasy The Pegger: review

Anal Fantasy The Pegger, in brief — this is what you get

The Pegger is Pipedreams' entry kit for pegging in the Anal Fantasy Collection series. It’s a two-part kit and nothing more: a dildo and a harness with straps. The manufacturer’s packaging states the contents of the shipment in plain text — Includes: (1) Dildo, (1) Harness With Straps — and that’s the entire product. No motor, no battery, no app, no charging cable.

The specification that the manufacturer actually publishes is brief. The material is listed as nylon and PVC. Insertable length is 10.6 centimeters and the width is 3.5 centimeters according to the current packaging. The harness has four-way nylon straps and plush lining. The dildo has a tapered tip, is curved for prostate stimulation, and sits in an O-ring in the harness’s front section. According to Pipedreams’ warranty page, the warranty is one year from the date of purchase. In this market, the article is sold by Clonezone.

This review is about the item with EAN 603912332582, the manufacturer’s item number PD4663-23, and SKU 466323. The number is verified against the manufacturer’s own product record, where that exact barcode is linked to the brand Anal Fantasy Collection and the product name The Pegger. All six shops list the same EAN, so the review consistently applies to the same item.

One thing has to be said directly, because it affects everything else in the text: the manufacturer’s product page for this model has been removed and returns a 404. The Pegger is no longer in Pipedreams’ current catalog under the name Anal Fantasy Collection. The manufacturer details below therefore come from both the archived product page and from Pipedreams’ own packaging graphics, which are still hosted on the manufacturer’s image server. Both have been checked and work. But that means that a buyer who wants to look up the specification with the manufacturer today cannot do so, and it’s a real downside for a product that’s still sold through retailers.

What pegging is, and what the harness actually does

Pegging means that a person with a harness and dildo penetrates a partner anally. The word says nothing about gender or sexual orientation—it only describes the equipment and the direction. Practically speaking, the setup always consists of the same two parts: something that goes in, and something that holds it in place against the hip.

Selens task is underestimated. It should hold the dildos firmly at the right angle without twisting, it should stay in place when the body moves, and it should distribute the force over the hip instead of cutting into a narrow band. The last point is why the padding matters: Pipedream states that the harness is plush-lined, and another retailer repeats the same claim and adds that it is soft enough to be worn for longer sessions. A harness made of pure nylon straps without lining rubs against the groin after a few minutes, and that is the most common reason why cheap strap-on kits stop being used.

The manufacturer states four-way nylon straps — meaning four adjustment points — and that’s what allows both the waist measurement and the thigh straps to be adjusted independently. That’s the difference between a harness that stays put and one that slides downward. What can be established is that the construction is the classic triangular harness with an O-ring, the same basic solution that Pipedream uses throughout its entry-level range.

Two packaging versions with the same EAN — and therefore four different measurements.

Here is the most important finding in the entire review, and it explains a confusion that otherwise is impossible for a shopper comparing stores to sort out.

The Pegger has been sold in two packaging versions under the same item number and the same EAN. The manufacturer’s older packaging, printed at the very top of the box, lists insertable length 4.75 in. (12 cm) and width 1.25 in. (3.1 cm). It also bears the marking PF Phthalate Free and an adhesive flap about a free five-part preparation kit — Refresh Toy Cleaner, Anal Eaze, Moist Anal Lube, and two nitrile fingertip covers. The manufacturer’s current packaging, labeled New & Improved, instead lists insertable length 4.2 in. (10.6 cm) and width 1.4 in. (3.5 cm), and lists the contents of the package as only a dildo and a harness with straps. The preparation kit is gone.

So the dildo has become 1.4 centimeters shorter and 0.4 centimeters thicker in the new version, and the accessories have been removed — without changing the item number or the barcode. It’s the manufacturer’s own materials that show both sets, and that’s why it isn’t an interpretation but a reading.

The consequence shows up right away in the shop listings. One shop lists an insertable length of 12 centimeters and a diameter of 3.2 centimeters. Another shop lists a length of 12 centimeters and a diameter of 3.1 centimeters. Two other shops list a length of 13 centimeters. None of them lists 10.6 centimeters. In other words: all the shops we checked still describe the older version, while the manufacturer’s current packaging lists different figures. The manufacturer weighs more than the shop, so 10.6 × 3.5 centimeters is the measurement this review is based on—but since stock may contain both revisions, you should assume that the cardboard box you receive can be either one. The difference is small in absolute terms and large in percentage terms: 12 percent in length.

Another retailer also lists 13 centimeters as a third figure that matches neither the old nor the new packaging. It’s close to a listing for total length of 13.7 centimeters, so a reasonable interpretation is that two listings refer to the entire dildo including the base, while the other listings refer to the insertable part. The listings don’t state which measurement they mean, and it’s exactly that kind of ambiguity that makes measurement comparisons in this category unreliable.

Material: nylon and PVC—and what it means

The material determines how long an intimate product can be used hygienically, and it’s the only characteristic that can’t be compensated for with experience or care. The manufacturer’s own product listing for The Pegger states two materials: nylon and PVC. Nylon is the harness straps; PVC is the dildo.

Why PVC isn’t the same as silicone

PVC is a thermoplastic that is made soft with plasticizers. This creates a material that feels flexible and rubbery—several shops describe it as jelly—but that differs from silicone in one important respect: the surface isn’t pore-free in the same way. Silicone is a cross-linked elastomer material that doesn’t absorb liquids and can withstand boiling. Softened PVC has a surface that over time can become sticky as plasticizers migrate out, and it can’t withstand boiling or autoclaving.

What that means in practice is that a PVC dildo can be cleaned but not sterilized. It should be washed in lukewarm water with mild soap or toy cleaner after each use and dried completely before it’s put away, and it should be used with a condom if it’s shared between people or alternates between anal and vaginal use. The manufacturer’s own care instructions on the archived page say exactly this in short form: cleaning with antibacterial toy cleaner and warm water.

What can be established is that the choice of materials is a direct result of the price level. A strap-on in medical-grade silicone costs several times more. Here you get PVC, and that’s the entire content of the price difference. Expect that this product is a consumable item with a few years of service life rather than something you own for ten years, and expect that it needs to be replaced if the surface starts to feel sticky or if the color changes.

Phthalate-free — what the declaration says and what it doesn’t say

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic, especially soft, flexible PVC, pliable. Kemikalieinspektionen describes them as substances that can affect the hormone system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. Since PVC without plasticizers is hard and brittle, the question of which plasticizer is used is always relevant when the material is specifically PVC — unlike silicone, which is soft by itself and doesn’t need any plasticizers at all.

The manufacturer’s older packaging has the round marking PF — Phthalate Free. Two retailers both state "ftalatfritt PVC material", another retailer lists "Ftalat-fri: Ja" in its specification table, and a fourth retailer writes "Kroppssäker & fri from ftalater". These are four independent claims that say the same thing, supported by the manufacturer’s own packaging graphics.

Two things still need to be said plainly. The current New & Improved packaging does not carry the same PF marking on the visible front, and the manufacturer’s product entry contains no phthalate declaration as a text field—only the material specification: nylon and PVC. And "phthalate-free" says nothing about which plasticizer is used instead. It’s a negative declaration: it excludes a group of substances without describing what’s in it. It’s better than having no information at all, but it’s not the same as a complete material declaration.

When the shop says something other than the manufacturer

In its specification table, another shop lists the material as "ABS-plast, Gummi, Nylon, TPR". The manufacturer states nylon and PVC. It’s not a minor nuance difference—TPR and PVC are different plastic families, and ABS is a hard plastic that in this kit, then, could only refer to the buckles.

The rule is simple: when the shop contradicts the manufacturer, the manufacturer wins. So does this apply to nylon and PVC. But the discrepancy is worth noting for what it says about how shop data in this category ends up being compiled. Material fields are often filled in in a templated way by importers and web editors, not taken from the manufacturer’s datasheets, and that’s why you should never base a material decision on a shop table alone. If you’re allergic to something specific, the only sustainable path is to ask the manufacturer directly.

Dimensions: 10.6 cm insertable length and 3.5 cm wide

The manufacturer’s current packaging states an insertable length of 10.6 cm and a width of 3.5 cm. Those are the only two dimensions that Pipedream publishes for this product, and they still say most of what you need to know.

10.6 cm insertable is a small-to-medium size in this category, just as the marketing suggests—the packaging’s first bullet point is "Perfect for Beginners!". A width of 3.5 cm corresponds to a circumference of roughly eleven centimeters if the cross-section is around, and that’s where the real threshold lies for anal. Width is always perceived as more decisive than length for anal penetration, because it’s the circumference that meets the anal sphincter.

Here’s a detail that’s easy to miss and goes in an unexpected direction: the new version is shorter but wider than the old one. The old packaging lists 12 × 3.1 cm, the new one 10.6 × 3.5 cm. So if you’re specifically looking for the narrowest possible beginner dildo, the new revision is thus only marginally less beginner-friendly in the dimension that matters most, even though it’s shorter. That’s not how an upgrade is usually described.

A recurring theme in customer reviews in the shops is also that the product is perceived as small. One retailer lists three customer reviews on the product page, and two of them explicitly mention that the dildo was smaller than expected even for a beginner. It’s shop data and not a measurement, but it points in the same direction as the numbers: The Pegger is an entry-level kit, not something you grow into.

Total length, circumference, and diameter—data that only the shops provide

The manufacturer does not publish total length, the base diameter, or the dildo’s circumference. One retailer does, with the most detailed specification table of the six shops. That retailer lists a circumference of 9.9 cm, a total length of 13.7 cm, an insertable length of 12 cm, and a diameter of 3.2 cm, and it also says that the elasticity is "easily bendable", the firmness is "firm", and the texture is smooth.

Note that the retailer’s figures match up with the older packaging—12 cm insertable and 3.2 cm in diameter are within rounding distance of the old carton’s 12 and 3.1. The 9.9 cm circumference also checks out: a cylinder with a 3.15 cm diameter has a circumference of just under ten centimeters. So the retailer’s table is internally consistent, but it describes the old revision.

If you convert the manufacturer’s current width of 3.5 cm in the same way, the circumference comes out instead at roughly eleven centimeters. The difference versus 9.9 is a little more than one centimeter in circumference, which is noticeable for anal. The manufacturer publishes no circumference, so this conversion is an estimate based on the width and not a published value.

Weight and packaging dimensions

The manufacturer does not publish any product weight. The weight field in Pipedreams’ own product listing is set to zero, which is an empty value and not a measurement. The retailer states 281 grams and the packaging dimensions are 60 × 100 × 250 millimeters. That is the only weight information available for the item in any of the six store feeds.

Treat 281 grams as a shipping weight rather than the product’s weight in your hands. The dimensions listed by the retailer — six times ten times twenty-five centimeters — are the carton’s outer dimensions and match the format of the manufacturer’s elongated window box. A harness made of nylon with a plush lining plus a PVC dildo of a little over ten centimeters would reasonably weigh significantly less than that, but since neither the manufacturer nor any other store publishes a net weight, it is not possible to say how much.

The manufacturer, on the other hand, publishes the outer carton data: twelve units per carton, with dimensions of 52.7 × 22.2 × 22.2 centimeters. This is logistics data intended for wholesalers and says nothing about the product, but it confirms the packaging’s approximate format and is included here because it is one of very few figures the manufacturer actually provides.

Harness: four adjustment points, plush lining, and an O-ring

The harness is the part of the kit that determines whether it’s used more than once, and it’s also the part that’s hardest to assess from a product image. The manufacturer’s description is short but concrete: four-way nylon straps that can be adjusted easily to fit most sizes, and a plush-lined harness that stays in place when it’s pulled back.

The construction is the classic triangular model. A lined triangular front panel sits against the groin and the pelvic bone, a waistband goes around the hip, and two thigh straps run down between the legs and back up. Four buckles mean the waist and thigh areas can be adjusted independently of each other. The advantage is that the harness can be tightened where it needs to sit firmly without constricting anywhere else; the downside is that four buckles take longer to set the first time, and that there are four places where a plastic buckle can fail.

The plush lining is the detail that is most likely to determine the experience. Nylon straps against bare skin in the groin rub, and it’s the most common reason a strap-on kit ends up lying in the box. That the manufacturer has lined the front panel is a deliberate choice and one of the few real quality details in this price range. The flip side is that textile lining is harder to keep clean than smooth plastic — it needs to be hand-washed and dried completely, and it doesn’t tolerate the same chemicals as the dildo.

The O-ring: the function that makes the kit worth more than the parts

In the front piece of the harness, there is a ring that the dildo is threaded through and that keeps it in place. It sounds trivial, but it is the single most important feature of this kit, for a reason none of the manufacturer’s four points mentions: the ring also fits other dildos.

Two stores state that. One store describes the harness as “an adjustable comfortable nylon harness that also fits other dildos,” and another writes that the ring makes it possible to attach almost any dildo or vibrator with a suction cup. These are store details and not the manufacturer’s wording, but they are consistent with how an O-ring harness works mechanically: everything with a flared base that is wider than the ring and a shaft that is narrower stays in place.

What can be established is that it changes the product’s economics. Since the harness is reusable, it’s not a one-time product — it’s a platform. Someone who later wants a silicone dildo then only needs to buy the dildo. Conversely, it means that someone who already owns a harness doesn’t need this kit at all. The manufacturer does not publish ring diameter, which is the piece of information you actually need to know what will fit, and it’s an annoying gap in a product whose best feature is precisely interchangeability.

Fit: the measurements the manufacturer does not publish

The manufacturer writes that the harness is “adjusted to fit most sizes.” It’s a wording with no content. Pipedream does not publish either the smallest or largest waist measurement, the length of the straps, the width of the straps, or the O-ring’s inner diameter. This is the biggest gap in the entire specification, and it’s especially unfortunate because fit is the only variable that completely determines whether a harness works for a given body.

Practically, the absence of information means you can’t determine in advance whether the harness will sit properly, and therefore the 14-day right of withdrawal is more relevant here than on almost any other product in the category. In the EU and EEA, this withdrawal period starts when the goods are received. Read the section about the right of withdrawal at the bottom before you order — and keep in mind that sealed goods that aren’t suitable for return for health or hygiene reasons are exempt from the right of withdrawal once unsealed.

Dildo: curved shape, tapered tip, and flared base

The dildo is the part the manufacturer describes most extensively. The packaging’s four bullet points read, in the manufacturer’s own order: perfect for beginners, tapered tip for easier insertion, expertly curved for P-spot stimulation, and follows the contours of the body. The description on the archived product page says the same thing in running text — slender, small enough not to be intimidating but large enough to make an impression, and curved to reach the right spot.

Base: the detail that determines whether an anal product is safe

On all anal products, the base is more important than anything else. The rectum has no natural endpoint in the same way the vagina has, and a product with a base that isn’t flared out enough can be pulled inward by muscle movements. It’s the only failure model in this category that leads to the emergency department, and that’s why the design of the base weighs more heavily than length, shape, and material combined.

The Peggers dildo has a really flared, circular suction-cup base that’s clearly wider than the shaft. You can see it in the manufacturer’s own product images, and it’s a proper lock. On top of that, during use the dildo is secured in the harness’s O-ring, which is a second lock—a dildo that sits in a harness on another person’s hip can, by definition, not disappear. The combination of a wide base and a harness makes this one of the safer constructions in the category, and it’s the single strongest feature of the product.

The warning instead applies to loose use. The base is wide and also works as a stop when the dildo is used without a harness, but if the product is used by someone other than the person wearing it—or if it’s used anally by the wearer themselves—you need to make sure that it’s the base that keeps it from going in. Never let go of an anal product that doesn’t have a lock, and never trust a suction cup as a lock.

The curve and the prostate—what the bend actually does

The manufacturer states that the dildo is curved for P-point stimulation. The prostate sits a few centimeters in on the front side of the rectum, so a straight rod points the wrong way: it follows the direction of the bowel instead of pressing against the wall where the gland is. A curved shape with an upward-pointing tip directs the pressure toward the front side.

With an insertion length of 10,6 centimeters, the dildo reaches the depth where the prostate is without any problem. That the manufacturer also writes "bends with your body's contours" is information about the material’s flexibility rather than about the shape: a PVC dildo is pliable, not rigid. Another description puts it as "easy to bend" with the stiffness "firm," and it’s also phrased as "flexible with the right amount of stiffness." All in all: firm enough to be guided, soft enough to give way.

There’s a practical consequence of the curve that’s worth knowing before the first time. The curve has a direction, and when the harness is worn on the front of the hip, it should point upward toward the recipient’s stomach. If you put the dildo into the ring upside down, the tip points away from the prostate and the whole point of the shape disappears. It’s the most common beginner mistake with curved strap-on dildos, and you don’t see it until you feel that nothing is happening.

The suction cup: a feature the manufacturer doesn’t market

The base is shaped like a suction cup. The manufacturer’s own product images show the dildo attached to a tiled wall, meaning it’s intended for use freestanding without a strap. The manufacturer’s texts, however, never mention the suction cup function—neither in the package’s four bullet points nor in the description on the archived product page.

That’s what the shop says, as it states that the included dildo has an effective suction cup and can be used separately hands-free against a flat surface. It’s a store claim, but it has support in the manufacturer’s own image. That a simple plastic product in this price range can be used in two ways is a real added value, and that’s presumably why the shape looks the way it does.

Two caveats. The holding strength of a suction cup varies greatly depending on the surface—it sticks to tile, glass, and painted sheet metal, but not to plaster, wood, or porous grout. And a suction cup is never a safety lock: it releases when it’s loaded at the wrong angle. Use it for convenience, not as a replacement for the base’s function.

Use, lube, and cleaning

The manufacturer’s instructions on the archived page are brief but cover the essentials, and they deserve to be reproduced because they rarely show up in the store texts: the key to anal play is to take it slow; penetration before you’re sufficiently aroused can be uncomfortable; finger play is a good way to relax; and since the anus doesn’t have its own lubricating secretion in the way the shaft has, plenty of lubricant should be used.

Which lubricant works with PVC

Water-based lubricant is listed as a recommendation, and that’s the right answer for two reasons. Water-based lubricant is compatible with essentially all toy materials, and it’s also the only one that safely works with a latex condom if you use one over the dildo.

Avoid oil-based products. Coconut oil and massage oils leave a film that’s difficult to remove from a PVC surface and that breaks down latex if a condom is used. Silicone-based lubricant is the classic pitfall with silicone toys—there it breaks down the surface—but with PVC the problem is different: it isn’t always incompatible, but since the manufacturer doesn’t state any compatibility, there’s no reason to take a chance when water-based works.

Expect to use more lubricant than you think, and to top up along the way. Water-based lubricants dry out and need to be re-moistened with a little water or more lubricant. This isn’t a product fault—it’s simply how the material works.

Cleaning, storage, and lifespan

The manufacturer’s care instructions state antibacterial toy cleaning and warm water. Another store listing says to clean with warm water and toy cleaner after use. Another store listing also states that a Refresh Toy Cleaner is included with the product—this matches the preparation kit mentioned for the older packaging, while the manufacturer’s current packaging only lists a dildo and a harness. Don’t count on any cleaning supplies being included.

The harness and the dildo should be cared for differently. The dildo in PVC is washed under the tap and dried completely dry. The harness is fabric with a plush lining and plastic buckles—it is hand-washed in lukewarm water with mild soap and should be air-dried completely before it’s put away, because damp plush can grow mold. The fact that the two parts require different treatment is one of the everyday downsides of a textile kit compared with a one-piece molded silicone product.

Store the parts separately and not in direct contact with other soft-plastic products. Plasticized PVC can react chemically with other soft plastics pressed against it for a long time, resulting in sticky spots. A fabric bag per part is the easiest solution. No storage bag is included, according to the manufacturer’s delivery contents.

No vibration, no battery—and what it’s worth

The Pegger is completely mechanical. The specification table states “Vibrating: No,” and neither the manufacturer’s description nor the packaging mentions any motor. So there’s no battery life to list, no charging time, no charging contact, and no sound level.

It’s not just a lack. A product without electronics has no lithium-ion battery that loses capacity, no charging port that needs sealing, and no app that stops being supported. Lifespan is determined by the material and the fabric—not by a cell that’s soldered in place. In a product in this price range, that’s a real advantage—most often it’s the battery that determines when a cheap vibrating sex toy becomes junk.

The downside is that anyone who wants vibration has to solve it with a separate product. Here the O-ring becomes relevant again: because, according to two stores, it fits different suction-cup dildo models, it’s possible to replace the included dildo with a suction-cup-based vibrating one and still keep the harness.

The manufacturer publishes no IP rating or waterproofing claim for The Pegger. In practice, that’s not an issue for the dildo, which lacks electronics and can be rinsed freely, but it doesn’t apply to the harness: a fabric harness with a plush lining doesn’t belong in the bathtub and takes a long time to dry. The absence of a rating should never be read as a sign that a product is approved for submersion.

The Pegger compared with the alternatives

Three comparisons are relevant, and all three come from the same manufacturer. This is not an editorial choice but the result of Pipedream dominating the entry-level segment for strap-on kits. All the information below comes from the respective product page on the manufacturer's website.

Versus Fetish Fantasy Limited Edition The Pegger — same product, different brand

Pipedream sells a second product that is also called The Pegger, under the brand name Fetish Fantasy Series Limited Edition, with article number PD4428-23, SKU 442823, and UPC 603912320497. The product description on the manufacturer’s page is word for word the same as for the Anal Fantasy version, down to the wording about the four-way nylon straps and the plush-lined harness.

The differences that the manufacturer actually reports are two. The material is listed as nylon, PVC, and metal for the Fetish Fantasy version, versus nylon and PVC for the Anal Fantasy version — likely a metal O-ring instead of one made of plastic, which would be an upgrade in that case. And the outer carton holds 24 units instead of twelve, which only says something about the packaging format.

What is practically important is this: The Fetish Fantasy version is not available in our price data, while the Anal Fantasy version is available at one shop: Clonezone. The manufacturer’s product page still loads for the Fetish Fantasy version but has been removed for the Anal Fantasy version — so the relationship is therefore the opposite of what availability suggests. If you find both in a store and they cost roughly the same, the Fetish Fantasy version is the one that still has a live specification on the manufacturer’s website, and whose material list suggests a metal ring.

Fetish Fantasy Beginner's Strap-On for Him

Fetish Fantasy Series Beginner's Strap-On for Him, SKU 216223 and UPC 603912215861, is Pipedream’s second entry-level kit. In this market, The Pegger is sold by Clonezone.

The descriptions are almost identical — the same text about the slim jelly dildo, the same four-way nylon straps, the same plush-lined harness. The stated difference lies in the materials: the manufacturer lists PVC, ABS and nylon for the Beginner's Strap-On, versus nylon and PVC for The Pegger. ABS is a hard plastic, so some component—most likely the ring or the buckles—is made of a different material.

The conclusion is that the two products effectively compete on price and color rather than on function. In this market, The Pegger is sold at Clonezone. Beginner's Strap-On has an active product page on the manufacturer's website, which The Pegger does not. If you want to look up the specification at Pipedream in two years, that argument is not insignificant.

Mot King Cock Elite Beginner's Body Dock — a harness without a ring

The third comparison is another construction principle. King Cock Elite Beginner's Body Dock Strap-On Harness, SKU BD10123 and UPC 603912771510, is a harness without an O-ring. Instead, the front section has a concave suction cup docking station that can accommodate any suction cup dildo, with the suction cup dildo pressed against it — the manufacturer's own heading reads "No Rings. No Snaps. No Hassle." The nylon straps are adjusted in the same way to fit most sizes.

The difference from The Pegger is that no dildo is included. Body Dock is only the harness, and the dildo is bought separately. That makes it a more expensive way in, but a more flexible platform: the suction cup docking station takes any suction cup dildo without any ring needing to pass through it, while an O-ring always has a limit for how thick the shaft it lets through can be. For someone who already owns a suction cup dildo, it's the logical harness.

For someone who is going to buy their first kit, however, The Pegger is the obvious choice for purely economic reasons. You get both harness and dildo, and the harness's O-ring means you can still swap the dildo later. Body Dock is the upgrade you make when you know what you want, not the starting point. It should also be said that the manufacturer does not publish any material list for the Body Dock harness — it lacks a materials field entirely, which is worse documented than The Pegger.

Available from Clonezone.

In this market, the item with EAN 603912332582 is sold by Clonezone.

The stock situation changes the picture. Listed stock can be misleading: Stores that list a product as sold out often have an old price left in the feed, and that price is rarely what you actually pay when the item comes in again.

Shipping is worth a line item in this price range, because it can be a significant share of the product price. In this market, the Anal Fantasy The Pegger is sold by Clonezone.

The price spread isn’t because any shop sells a different variant. All six list the same EAN, and three of them also state the same item number PD4663-23, including the manufacturer’s own listing. So it’s about the shops’ own margin setting on a model that’s old enough to have already been price-pressed by those that still want to sell it, and that remains at the original price with those that don’t.

Who is The Pegger for—and who isn’t?

It’s for you if you want to try pegging without investing in a silicone setup that’s way out of budget. The set includes both a strap and a dildo: the dildo has a 10.6-centimeter insertable length, it’s bent the right way for the prostate, and the base is wide enough to work as a stop. The strap has four adjustment points and a plush lining, which is more than you can ask for. And since it has no electronics, it also has no built-in playtime limit.

It’s for you if you want a platform to build on. Since, according to two of the shops, the O-ring fits other dildos with suction-cup bases, the strap can live on long after the included dildo has run out of steam, and a silicone dildo later costs less than a new kit.

It’s not for you if you want silicone. PVC is more porous, can’t handle boiling, and has a shorter lifespan, and that difference is real regardless of how phthalate-free the plastic is. It’s not for you if you already own a strap—then you just buy a dildo. It’s not for you if you need to know that the strap fits before you order, because neither the manufacturer nor any shop publishes a single fit dimension. It’s not for you if you want vibration. And it’s not for you if you place importance on being able to look up the product with the manufacturer: Pipedreams’ product page for this item has been removed.

One last thing belongs in the decision. The customer reviews indicate that the product feels small even for beginners, and the manufacturer’s current measurements are smaller than the figures retailers list. If you already have experience with anal toys in the upper half of the size scale, The Pegger is very likely to be too small. It’s an entry-level kit, and it’s honestly marketed as one.

Complaints, the legal guarantee (the seller is liable for defects that exist at delivery and appear within at least 2 years), and the right of withdrawal (14 days for online purchases, starting when the goods are received; exempt for sealed goods that aren’t suitable for return for health or hygiene reasons once unsealed).

Pipedreams’ warranty states that there is a one-year warranty counted from the purchase date, against mechanical defects or manufacturing defects. The terms require proof of purchase from an authorized retailer within the warranty period and that the product is registered with the manufacturer before a claim can be submitted. The manufacturer also explicitly states that replacement chargers are neither provided nor sold—which is irrelevant here, since The Pegger has no charger.

A note about the manufacturer’s own documentation belongs here. The product entry for The Pegger includes a warranty period field with the value 90, without a unit, while the warranty page states one year. The same value 90 appears in the product entries for Pipedreams’ other compared items, so it is likely an internal field rather than an unusual commitment—but there are two different pieces of information in the manufacturer’s own material, and it’s worth knowing if you need to refer to a warranty period.

Practically, it matters less than it sounds, for two reasons. The first is that a product without electronics has few mechanical defects: what breaks down on a kit like this is a clasp or a seam, not a circuit. The second is that your statutory rights are stronger than the manufacturer’s commitment.

According to EU rules, consumers have two years of right to complain for defects that existed at delivery and appear within at least 2 years against the seller (the legal guarantee). Rules outside the EU differ.

Be aware that in the EU and EEA, sealed goods that are not suitable for return for health or hygiene reasons are exempt from the 14-day right of withdrawal once unsealed. On this particular product, it’s especially noticeable, because it’s the fit that you need to try, and no fit measurements are published. However, the right to complain for defects always applies.
