Hidden Desire Anal Power Thrusting Vibrator: review

Hidden Desire Anal Power Thrusting Vibrator in brief

Anal Power Thrusting Vibrator is the model where Hidden Desire packs a small sex machine into a handle. Instead of just vibrating, the shaft moves forward and back with its own motor, and with the suction cup at the bottom it’s intended to stand on a floor, a tiled wall, or a tabletop and work without you having to hold it. The manufacturer calls the construction an adjustable suction mount for hands-free use, and on the packaging it states clearly that it’s a portable fuck machine.

The specification looks like this: total length 37 centimeters, insertable length 17.5 centimeters, insertable diameter 5 centimeters, thrust stroke up to 5 centimeters, up to 80 thrusts per minute, three thrust modes, nine vibration modes, remote control, lithium-ion battery, 60 minutes of operating time, 240 minutes of charging time, and IPX4 enclosure rating. The manufacturer states the material as silicone and ABS plastic. In Sweden, the item is sold by five stores at prices between 795 and 1,379 SEK, and four of them have it in stock.

This review is exclusively about the black variant with EAN 8713221837905, the manufacturer’s article number 16817-BLACK. The number has been checked against the manufacturer’s own product page, where it’s listed as the GTIN for that specific variant. The model is sold in Sweden under several names — Blush Me calls it an Analdildo with vibration, Vuxen and Sexonic put the brand first, and Vuxenkul lists it under its own article number SC4553-1 — but all five stores point to the same EAN or a separate number tied to the same variant. Therefore, there is no color variant or size variant to mix it up with.

What is a thrusting vibrator, and how does it differ from a regular anal vibrator?

A regular vibrator has a motor that sets the entire body vibrating. The movement is oscillating but microscopic — it transfers energy through the material to the skin, and it’s the vibration itself that does the job. A thrusting vibrator, instead, has a motor that drives a mechanical linear movement: the shaft is pushed out and pulled back along its own axis, just like a piston. These are two completely different ways of stimulation, and that’s why they can be combined in the same product.

In the Hidden Desire Anal Power Thrusting Vibrator, the mechanism sits inside the hard handle at the bottom, and the movement is transmitted by the ribbed bellows between the handle and the shaft. The bellows is the only visible moving part, and it serves two functions: it allows the shaft to travel without exposing the mechanism, and it keeps out dust and lubricants from the inside. The manufacturer states that the motor runs at 12,500 revolutions per minute and that it is converted into up to 80 thrusts per minute through the shaft. The two figures are connected—one high RPM is reduced to a slow but powerful linear motion, and it’s the gearing that lets such a small product move a 17-centimeter-long shaft back and forth.

What can be established purely from the technical side is that 80 thrusts per minute corresponds to about 1.3 thrusts per second at full speed. With a stroke length of 5 centimeters, that means the shaft moves around 8 centimeters per second. That’s a medium speed in this product class, and the important number isn’t the speed but the stroke length: 5 centimeters is the distance you actually feel, and it’s the same regardless of which of the three thrust modes you choose.

Hidden Desire, Extreme, and SCALA — who is the manufacturer?

The name image is messy in Swedish shops, and it’s worth clearing up before you compare prices. Hidden Desire is a brand that is developed and distributed by SCALA 2.0 BV in Wijchen in the Netherlands. The brand is in turn divided into lines: Extreme is the anal toys, Bangers are the masturbators, Banger Babes are the dolls, Inferno is a vibrator series, and Fusion X are the pumps. This product belongs to Extreme, and that can be seen on the packaging, where the headline reads Anal Gear.

In practice, that means you can find the manufacturer’s complete specifications in two places — SCALA’s own product page and the brand’s consumer site hiddendesire.eu — and that it’s these two that apply when a shop text says something else. The country of manufacture is listed as China. The packaging measures 37 × 13 × 7 centimeters, and the manufacturer states the unit weight as 0.7 kilograms, a figure that refers to the packaged unit and not the product by itself.

Dimensions: 32 centimeters that becomes 37 — and 5 centimeters in diameter

The dimensions are this product’s most distinctive feature, and they deserve to be presented carefully because two different measurement figures circulate in shop texts. The manufacturer lists the total length as 37 centimeters, and the same manufacturer writes in the product text that the product measures 32 centimeters and extends to the full 37 centimeters during full thrust movement. The dimension drawing in the manufacturer’s own gallery shows exactly the same thing: 32 centimeters for the body at rest, plus 5 centimeters of thrust movement, plus a base width of 7 centimeters.

The two pieces of information therefore don’t contradict each other—37 centimeters is the product’s maximum extension with the shaft in its furthest position, not its length when it’s lying in the box. It has a practical consequence that no store text mentions: you need to allow for 37 centimeters of free space in front of the suction mount, not 32, otherwise the shaft will hit the wall or the floor in its outermost position. If it’s meant to stand on a bathroom floor against a tiled wall, it’s the height above the mounting point that determines whether the movement will fit.

Is 5 centimeters in diameter a lot for an anal toy?

Yes. The manufacturer states the insertable diameter as 5 centimeters and the insertable length as 17.5 centimeters, and both measurements clearly sit above the average in the category. A 5-centimeter diameter corresponds to a circumference of just over 15 centimeters, and that’s more than many anal toys that are marketed as large. The combination of that diameter with a motorized motion means this isn’t a product for someone who’s new to anal stimulation, and the manufacturer’s own manual says the same thing plainly: start with toys with a smaller diameter and increase the size carefully.

The insertable length of 17.5 centimeters is also a figure to stop at. With three thrust modes and a 5-centimeter stroke length, the shaft in practice moves between about 12.5 and 17.5 centimeters deep when it works from its retracted position. That’s a depth beyond the rectum’s first bend for most people, and it’s that characteristic that makes the product interesting for some and directly unsuitable for others. A note about the store details belongs here: Vuxenkul states a penetration depth of 17 centimeters in its fact table, while the manufacturer states 17.5. The difference is half a centimeter and has no practical significance, but the manufacturer’s number is the one that applies.

The shape of the shaft is wavy rather than realistic. The manufacturer’s images show a rounded head and a series of soft ribs along the shaft, which together with the thrusting motion creates a sensation that varies during the stroke itself. SexleksakerOutlet describes it as a realistic full-size model, which is the store’s wording and not the manufacturer’s—Hidden Desire says nothing about realism for just this model, unlike its own Inferno series where the word realistic is in the product name.

The suction mount: what determines whether hands-free works

The suction mount is not a rubber pad at the bottom of the product, but a separate mechanical holder with a screw mount, a jointed ball, and a lever that tightens the suction cup against the surface. The manufacturer’s image shows the construction in detail: a threaded pin is screwed into the product’s base, the ball joint lets you set the angle, and the suction cup is locked in place with the lever. The manufacturer explicitly states that the mount is adjustable.

It’s a significantly more capable solution than the usual suction cup at the bottom of a dildo, and it’s also the whole point of the product. A suction cup that’s cast into the product’s base gives you a fixed angle; this one gives you a selectable angle. The downside is just as clear: a suction cup needs a smooth, clean, and dry surface to stay in place, and that’s exactly what a tiled wall with grout or a wooden table is not. The manufacturer’s manual also points out that the suction cup should be carefully released from the surface—an advice worth following, because a suction cup being pulled off with force is the single most common cause of the attachment stopping to hold.

What can’t be established is how much force the attachment can handle. The manufacturer does not publish any information about the suction cup’s holding strength or tensile strength, and there is also no measurement for the suction cup’s diameter in the specification. The base width of 7 centimeters in the manufacturer’s dimension drawing refers to the product’s own base, not the suction cup’s flat plate.

Material: silicone and ABS — and the contradiction in the manufacturer’s own material information

The material issue is the only property of an intimate product that can’t be compensated for with experience or care, and it determines whether the product is still hygienic a few years from now. Here there is a real contradiction to sort out, and it doesn’t come from the stores—it comes from the manufacturer itself.

The manufacturer’s structured specification table states the material as silikon och ABS-plast. The manufacturer’s ongoing product text, both on SCALA’s page and on the brand’s own consumer page, instead says that the product is tillverkad i 100 % ren silikon. So both wordings come from the same source, and they can’t both be true if you read them literally.

The pictures resolve the contradiction. The manufacturer’s own product photos clearly show that the shaft and bellows are matte black silicone, while the handle is glossy, hard, and colored-through plastic with press-in buttons. The reasonable interpretation is that the silicone information refers to the insertable part and that the ABS plastic is the handle. That’s also how the stores interpret it, but they interpret it in different ways: Vuxen lists ABS + Silicone and Vuxenkul lists ABS, Silicone, while Blush Me lists high-quality silicone and SexleksakerOutlet writes skin-friendly silicone without mentioning the plastic. So two out of five stores repeat the manufacturer’s specification table, and two repeat the manufacturer’s marketing text.

What silicone and ABS mean in practice

Silicone is a non-porous material. A non-porous surface can be cleaned, because there are no microscopic cavities where residue can get trapped. It is the single most important property of a material that will be in contact with the mucous membrane, and that is why the material declaration weighs more heavily than almost all other lines in a specification. So, having the insertable part be silicone is the right choice—and it is that part that matters hygienically.

ABS is a hard thermoplastic used in housings for everything from power outlets to toys. It is not porous and it is not problematic in itself, but it is hard and it is a different material than silicone. The transition between the silicone bellows and the ABS handle is a seam, and a seam on a moving product is always the first place you should look when you check for wear. It is also where water would be able to get in if the product were submerged—one of the reasons it is only rated IPX4.

The practical conclusion is simple: treat the shaft like a silicone product and the handle like electronics. Rinse the shaft, dry the handle.

Phthalates, BPA, and latex—what isn’t declared

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic—especially flexible PVC—pliable. The Swedish Chemicals Agency describes them as substances that can affect the endocrine system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. This product category is a recurring subject of supervision because it contains plastic in contact with skin and mucous membranes.

Hidden Desire does not provide an explicit phthalate, BPA, or latex declaration for this model. The closest the manufacturer comes is the body-safe labeling on the function graphics in the product gallery, which is a marketing term with no defined content. This is a difference compared with several competitors in the same price range: Pipedream, for example, states that their Elite Silicone is phthalate-free and latex-free. The fact that the information is missing does not mean the product contains phthalates—silicone does not require phthalate plasticizers to become soft, because the softness comes from the polymer’s own structure—but it does mean you can’t rely on a declaration.

The manufacturer’s manual addresses the allergy issue indirectly and places the responsibility on the packaging: read the information on the product packaging carefully to avoid allergic reactions, for example to latex. It is a standard wording in a generic manual, and it provides no information about this specific product.

Nine vibration modes, three impact modes, and a remote control

The interface consists of two parts. On the side of the handle there are three embossed buttons—plus, minus, and an on/off symbol—according to the manufacturer’s product images, and the product also includes a separate, egg-shaped wireless remote control with an oblong button area. The manufacturer states that the control option is a remote control, and Vuxenkul specifies in its fact sheet that control is done with both buttons and the wireless remote control.

The mode count is worth clearing up because it looks contradictory at a quick glance. The manufacturer’s specification table lists nine vibration modes and three impact modes. The manufacturer’s functional graphics in the product gallery break the same thing down into three vibration speeds and six vibration patterns—which adds up to nine—plus three impact modes. So the two pieces of information are the same thing, presented in two ways. What can be established is that you have three even speeds and six patterns on the vibration side, and three tempos on the impact side.

Impact function: 5 centimeters stroke length, 80 impacts per minute, 12 500 revolutions

Three impact modes are few compared with what is possible, and it’s one of the clearest limitations in the specification. The manufacturer does not state which tempos the three modes correspond to, only that the maximum value is up to 80 impacts per minute. How the three impact modes are distributed between 0 and 80 impacts per minute is not shown in the manufacturer’s documentation, and there is no product-specific manual to look it up in—Hidden Desires’ manual page lists only a single shared manual for vibrating anal toys, not one for this model.

The motor specification of 12 500 revolutions per minute is given in a separate section on the manufacturer’s product page and is unusually concrete for this category. It says something about the motor’s character rather than about the experience: a high RPM with strong reduction gearing provides more torque at low speed, which is exactly what a linear motion that needs to work against resistance requires. What it doesn’t say anything about is how much force the shaft actually develops, since the manufacturer neither publishes power in watts nor any information about impact force.

According to the manufacturer’s breakdown, the vibration motor and the impact mechanism are two independent functions, which in practice gives 9 × 3 = 27 combinations if both can be run at the same time. That’s more combinations than most people use, and the pattern in this product class is that you keep coming back to two or three settings. Unlike the sibling model Inferno, the manufacturer does not state a number of motors for this model— whether the vibration comes from its own motor or from the same drive as the impact is not published.

The remote control and what it doesn’t say about it

The remote control is the feature that makes hands-free use meaningful. With the product fixed to a surface, the buttons on the handle are difficult to reach, and a wireless control is then not a luxury detail but a necessity.

Here, however, there is a clear gap in the manufacturer’s presentation. Specifikationen anger varken fjärrkontrollens räckvidd, dess radioteknik, dess batterityp eller om ett batteri medföljer. That gap is most clearly noticeable when you compare it with the manufacturer’s own Inferno model, where the specification table on the same site explicitly lists battery included, number of batteries, and battery type lithium-ion plus CR2032 — in other words, a coin-cell battery for the remote control. For Anal Power Thrusting Vibrator, it only states lithium-ion, with no information about the remote control’s power supply. Assume that the remote control has its own battery, but don’t assume you know which one until you have the package in front of you.

Battery and charging: 60 minutes of operation on 240 minutes of charging

This is the specification’s weakest point, and it should be taken into account before buying. The manufacturer lists operating time as 60 minutes and charging time as 240 minutes. Four hours of charging for one hour of operation is a ratio of 4:1, and that is unusually poor even within this product category. For comparison, the manufacturer itself lists a four-hour charging time for products with a substantially longer operating time in other categories, and a modern clitoral stimulator typically lands around 1:2 in the other direction — two hours of charging for four hours of operation.

The likely explanation is that a motorized linear motion draws significantly more current than a vibration motor. A vibrator moves an unbalanced weight a few millimeters; this product moves a 17-centimeter-long silicone shaft five centimeters back and forth, against resistance, 80 times per minute. What can be established is that 60 minutes is the operating time the manufacturer guarantees, and that figure reasonably applies under lighter loads than the product faces in real use.

How is Hidden Desire Anal Power Thrusting Vibrator charged?

Via USB. The manufacturer’s functional graphic indicates USB rechargeable, and all five shops repeat the information—Blush Me lists charging type USB in its fact box, and SexleksakerOutlet writes USB rechargeable in its bullet list. However, which USB connector is on the product is not specified by the manufacturer, either in the specification table or in the general manual, and none of the five shops states it either. The connector is visible in the manufacturer’s own product image of the back of the handle, but an image is not a specification value and is therefore not included as such here.

The manufacturer’s manual adds three instructions that are worth knowing. Only charge the product with a suitable charger in a wall outlet and follow the mains adapter instructions. For safety reasons, lithium batteries are normally shipped charged to 40–50 percent, which means the product will likely work right out of the box, but it should be fully charged before the first real use. And if the product automatically shuts off when the battery level is low, don’t turn it back on—charge it instead; repeatedly powering on a deeply discharged lithium cell shortens its service life.

The capacity that isn’t published

The manufacturer does not publish the battery’s capacity in mAh or its voltage, either on SCALA’s product page, on the brand’s consumer page, or in the manual. The only thing that is stated is the lithium-ion battery type. Without the capacity, it’s not possible to convert operating time into power consumption, and it’s not possible to compare how heavily the cell is loaded between models. With a 4:1 ratio between charging time and operating time, that’s a task you’d have liked to have had.

What applies generally to lithium-ion batteries also applies here: capacity decreases with the number of charge cycles, and the manufacturer states nowhere that the battery is replaceable. The manual recommends disconnecting the product from the outlet as soon as the battery is fully charged, and storing it in a cool, dry place because moisture damages both the battery and the motor. With use a couple of times a week, it’s the battery and the impact mechanism—not the silicone—that determines the limit for its service life.

IPX4: splash-proof, not waterproof

The manufacturer classifies the product as IPX4 and prints the word splashproof both in the specification table and on the functional graphic. The classification comes from the international standard IEC 60529, which defines enclosure classes for electrical equipment. The 4 in the second position means the product has been tested against water splashes from all directions. It does not mean submersion, it does not mean running water under pressure, and above all it does not mean baths.

What’s the difference between IPX4 and IPX7?

The difference is greater than the wording suggests. IPX7 means the product has been tested for submersion in water to a depth of one meter for 30 minutes—so the entire product can be rinsed off without thinking twice and can be used in a bathtub. IPX4 covers water droplets and splashes, and nothing more. An IPX4-rated product that you can rinse off can withstand rinsing the shaft under a gentle stream and wiping off the handle, but it can’t be left in a sink with water.

The manufacturer’s manual is unambiguous on that point and goes further than the rating: do not submerge the device in water, and make sure no water gets into the battery compartment. It’s an important message, because it rules out the simplest cleaning method. There’s also a store mistake to note here: Vuxenkul states in its fact table that the product is not water-resistant at all, while Vuxen only says splash-resistant, and Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet reproduce the manufacturer’s IPX4. Vuxen’s and the two outlet stores’ wording matches the manufacturer; Vuxenkul’s is stricter than what the manufacturer states. The difference plays a practical role only in one case—if you plan to use it in the shower, you should assume that it is not intended for that.

Cleaning, lubricant, and storage

The manufacturer’s manual provides clear instructions. Clean the product before first use and after each use with warm water and mild soap, and disinfect it with a disinfectant intended for the product. Let it cool down after each use before you put it away. Store it clean, cool, and dry, away from direct sunlight, and store it separately from products made of other materials to avoid chemical reactions between the materials—an instruction that’s especially relevant here because the shaft is silicone.

Lubricant isn’t negotiable for an anal product of this size, and the manufacturer explicitly recommends water-based lubricant. Silicone-based lubricant should not be used on silicone products: it breaks down the silicone surface over time and makes it porous, and a porous surface can’t be cleaned properly anymore—only replaced. Oil-based products like coconut oil leave a film that’s hard to remove and can also attack the rubber in the bellows.

A detail specific to this particular design: the bellows’ folds collect lubricant. Rinse those off particularly well and let the product dry completely before you put it away; otherwise, that’s where residue will remain. The manual also points out that the product must not be frozen or heated, which rules out both boiling and a dishwasher.

Safety for anal use: what the manufacturer’s manual actually says

This section is more important than usual for this particular product, because the combination of a 5-centimeter diameter, a 17.5-centimeter insertion length, and a motor that works without you holding the product is different from a hand-controlled plug.

The manufacturer’s manual for vibrating anal toys contains a warning that’s easy to miss and that applies directly to this product category: anal vibrators have no stop flanges and must always be held in place. An anal plug has a wide base that physically prevents it from sliding in completely; an anal vibrator does not. Even though this model has a suction mount, it doesn’t change the principle, but it changes the practical risk: as long as the mount is attached to the surface, the product cannot shift inward, and this is another reason to check that the suction cup really has a grip before you start.

Other instructions from the manual: gently contract the sphincter muscle before anal sex to avoid injury or tearing, start with toys with a smaller diameter and increase the size carefully, use plenty of lubricant to avoid pain during insertion, turn the product on before it is inserted, and insert it slowly because there are two muscle rings that need to be passed. The manual also recommends specific positions — on all fours, on your back with a pillow under your buttocks, or in a crouch over the product — which is unusually useful for a product that is intended to be attached to a surface.

Finally, the manual also covers three things that don’t belong in marketing, but do belong in a purchase decision: the product is not intended for medical use, it should not be passed on to anyone else for hygiene reasons, and it should not be used if it overheats or has visible defects.

Hidden Desire Anal Power Thrusting Vibrator compared with the alternatives

Two comparisons are relevant: against the manufacturer’s own other thrust model, and against the cheapest option for the same type of motion. All information below comes from the respective manufacturers’ own specifications, and all prices come from the shops’ product feeds on July 29, 2026.

Against Hidden Desire Inferno Realistic Thrusting and Wiggling Vibrator — same price, better specifications

The most uncomfortable comparison is the one against the manufacturer’s own sibling model. Hidden Desire Inferno Realistic Thrusting and Wiggling Vibrator, EAN 8713221842466, also costs from 795 SEK — meaning exactly the same lowest price — and the specification is stronger in several respects.

Inferno is specified as having a total length of 28 centimeters, an insertable length of 20–22 centimeters, an insertable diameter of 4 centimeters, soft silicone, IPX6 waterproofing, a remote control, nine vibration modes and nine thrusting modes, two motors, and included batteries — lithium-ion for the product and CR2032 for the remote control. That means it has three times as many thrusting modes, a higher protection rating, a stated motor count, and a stated battery situation, as well as a twisting motion in addition to the thrusting motion.

Anal Power Thrusting Vibrator wins on three points, and they are not insignificant: longer reach in total length, a wider insertable diameter of 5 centimeters instead of 4, and a separate adjustable suction mount with a ball joint instead of an integrated suction cup. The conclusion is specific rather than general: if you want girth, reach, and a real mounting bracket, Anal Power is the right choice. If you want more thrusting modes, tolerate water better, and know what you get in the box, Inferno is better value for the same 795 SEK.

Mot Pipedream Anal Fantasy Elite Vibrating Ass Fucker — 246 SEK cheaper, but without a motor in the thrust

Pipedream Anal Fantasy Elite Vibrating Ass Fucker, EAN 603912755121, costs from 549 SEK, so 246 SEK less. The name suggests the same function, but that’s the crucial difference: Pipedream describes its thrust function as spring-loaded — spring-loaded — and as naturally compliant after your own movements. It’s therefore not a motor-driven linear motion; it’s a suspension that gives way and bounces back when you move toward it. The motor in Pipedream’s product drives the vibration, not the thrust, and according to the manufacturer it sits at the tip.

Otherwise, Pipedream lists eleven vibration functions, the Elite Silicone material, a suction cup, USB charging, and a one-year manufacturer warranty. The dimensions are not published in the manufacturer’s specification table; the retailer Blush Me states the total length as 34 centimeters, the length as 15 centimeters, and the diameter as 3.5 centimeters, and describes the material as phthalate-free and latex-free.

What the difference means in practice: the one who wants a product that works using its own power while you lie still doesn’t get that from Pipedream. The one who, on the other hand, wants a yielding, soft motion that follows their own rhythm — and who at the same time wants a published material declaration and a printed warranty — gets more for less money there. Eleven vibration functions versus nine is a tie; a one-year warranty versus no published warranty at all isn’t.

Price range: 795 to 1,379 SEK at five stores

Five Swedish stores sell the item with EAN 8713221837905. Cheapest are Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet at 795 SEK each; then Vuxenkul at 923 SEK, Sexonic at 1,119 SEK, and the most expensive is Vuxen at 1,379 SEK. There’s a 584 SEK or 73 percent difference between the cheapest and the most expensive store for exactly the same item number, the same color, and the same packaging.

The stock situation is unusually good in this comparison: four of the five stores had the product in stock at the price check. The only one that didn’t was Sexonic, which is the second-most expensive. That means the price spread is real and not an effect of old prices in sold-out listings — you can actually buy it for 795 SEK, and the one who pays 1,379 SEK pays 73 percent too much for the same item.

Two of the shops also list a regular price that is clearly higher: Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet state 1,295 SEK as the original price and Vuxenkul 1,319 SEK. The manufacturer’s own list price for consumers on hiddendesire.eu is 124.99 euro. This says something about where the product is intended to sit price-wise, and it also indicates that 795 SEK is a genuine discount rather than a regular price.

The prices in the table above are updated when the shops’ product feeds are updated, but always check the final price at checkout. Shipping costs are added at several shops under a certain order value—for example, Sexonic states 98 SEK for shipping to Sweden in its feed, while Blush Me, SexleksakerOutlet, and Vuxenkul state zero.

Who is it for—and who isn’t it for?

This is for you if you’re already used to anal stimulation and specifically want a motor-driven thrusting motion rather than vibration. This is for you if you want to be able to mount the product on a surface and control it with a remote control instead of having to hold it. This is for you if you want dimensions—5 centimeters in diameter—and range, and you have space for the 37-centimeter product it requires in its farthest position.

This isn’t for you if you’re new to anal toys. A 5-centimeter diameter combined with a motorized motion is the wrong place to start, and the manufacturer’s own manual says so itself. This isn’t for you if you want to rinse off the entire product or use it in the shower or bath—IPX4 and the manual’s explicit prohibition against submersion put an end to that. This isn’t for you if you use a product for long stretches at a time, because 60 minutes of operating time followed by four hours of charging means it doesn’t manage to be ready back the same evening. And this isn’t for you if you require a published materials declaration, a stated battery capacity, or a printed manufacturer warranty before purchase, because Hidden Desire does not publish either.

One more thing belongs in the decision. This product is designed as a specialized toy, not an all-round product. The suction attachment, the rough diameter, and the thrust mechanism all point in the same direction, and anyone looking for an anal toy to grow into would do better to start significantly smaller and come back here later.

Warranty, complaints, and right of withdrawal

Hidden Desire does not publish any manufacturer warranty for this product—neither on SCALA’s product page, on the brand’s consumer page, nor in the shared manual. Instead, the manual spells out the disclaimer: no responsibility is taken for injuries or accidents caused by improper handling, violence, modifications, or failure to follow the safety instructions. It’s a reasonable reservation, but it does not replace a warranty commitment, and it is a difference from Pipedream, which states a one-year warranty on its corresponding product.

What always applies, though, are your statutory rights, and they are stronger than most manufacturer warranties. According to the Swedish Consumer Sales Act (Konsumentköplagen), you have three years to complain if the item is defective, regardless of what the manufacturer promises or fails to promise. For distance purchases, you also have a right of withdrawal within fourteen days under the Act on Distance Contracts and Contracts Outside Business Premises.

Be aware that, in practice, the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene products that have been taken out of a sealed package — this applies to this product category to a great extent. The right to complain in case of defects, however, always applies, and it is the relevant route if the thrusting mechanism or the battery stops working. If you have questions about what applies in your case, Konsumentverket (the Swedish Consumer Agency) guides you via Hallå konsument.

A practical tip that follows from the lack of a warranty: save the receipt and the packaging. The manufacturer’s manual explicitly asks you to keep the packaging because it contains the instructions for use and information about the product, batteries, and charging — and since there is no product-specific manual to download, the text on the packaging is the only product-specific documentation that comes with it.
