Hidden Desire Big Ass Banger: review

Hidden Desire Big Ass Banger in brief — this is what you get

Big Ass Banger is a molded buttock masturbator from the Bangers series, which is released by the brand Hidden Desire through the Dutch wholesaler and brand owner Scala. The product is a single massive pour in soft TPR with two separate channels — one vaginal and one anal — and it comes with two corded bullet vibrators and an external control unit powered by three AAA batteries.

The specification looks like this according to the manufacturer: product dimensions 21 × 22.5 × 13 centimeters, the material stated as Realistic Love-Skin in TPR, two motors, three AAA batteries, water resistance indicated with the word “Waterproof”, packaging 27.6 × 32 × 12.7 centimeters and a weight per unit of 3.26 kilograms. The model number is 17039, the item number for the brown variant is 17039-BROWN, and the country of manufacture is stated as China. The recommended retail price is 124.99 euro. In Sweden, the item is listed in six store listings across five stores with prices between 795 and 1,119 SEK.

This review exclusively covers the brown variant with EAN 8713221820365. The same model is also available in Light Skin Tone with item number 17039-SKIN and a completely separate EAN, 8713221819604. Functionally they are identical, but they are two different items in the stores’ systems, and several Swedish stores only write “Big Ass Banger” without the color in the headline. Check the EAN number before you pay if the color matters to you.

What can be directly established is that this is a product where the construction is well described and the documentation is thin. The manufacturer publishes dimensions, materials, number of motors, battery type, package dimensions, and a cross-sectional image of the channels—but neither insertion depth, insertion diameter, number of vibration modes, sound level, runtime, the protection rating, nor the warranty period. In addition, four different weight figures circulate for the same item, and one of them is in the product name.

What a Banger is, and where it belongs in the lineup

Bangers are Hidden Desires’ line of molded masturbators in body-part formats. Unlike a Fleshlight-type tube masturbator, which is a casing with a replaceable insert material, a Banger is a single molded body where the channels are shaped directly in the material. The manufacturer describes the series as “bold, lifelike masturbators” with realistic vaginal and anal entrances and textured internal tunnels.

The difference versus a tube masturbator is fundamental and determines a lot of how the product works in practice. A tube weighs a couple of hectograms and is held in your hand; a Banger at 3.26 kilograms sits on its own on a surface and is used against that weight. The manufacturer’s own packaging text puts it plainly: the product should be able to stand on any surface for hands-free use. So the mass is not a side effect of the size—it is the function itself.

The difference versus a torso in the same series is, in turn, a question of scale. Big Ass Banger corresponds to the hip and groin area, not a whole upper body. It provides a product that can be lifted, stored, and cleaned in a way that a 10-kilogram torso isn’t, but that simultaneously has enough mass not to slip away.

Brown or Light Skin Tone — and why the EAN matters

The manufacturer sells the Big Ass Banger Vibrating in two colors under the same model number 17039. Brown Skin Tone has item number 17039-BROWN and EAN 8713221820365, while Light Skin Tone has 17039-SKIN and EAN 8713221819604. The specifications are the same for both: the same dimensions, the same material, the same two motors, and the same three AAA batteries.

Keeping them separate is still not superfluous. A Swedish shop outside this price table sells the light variant under the name “Bangers Big Ass Banger” and lists the width as 21 centimeters, the height as 10 centimeters, and the weight as 3.2 kilograms—so a height that is three centimeters lower than the manufacturer’s 13 centimeters for the same model. It’s a good example of why a shop’s claim should always be read as a shop claim. Where a shop and the manufacturer contradict each other, the manufacturer’s figure applies, and the manufacturer lists 21 × 22.5 × 13 centimeters for both colors.

Another thing to know when you price-compare: one of the stores in the table below lists exactly the same EAN twice—once correctly under the brand Hidden Desire and once under the brand ACT with a completely different product heading. It’s the same item, the same barcode, and the same price. The duplicate is not a different model, and it should not be read as if there are two variants to choose from.

Materials and build quality: TPR under the name Realistic Love-Skin

The material question is the only characteristic of an intimate product that neither habit nor care can compensate for, and it determines whether the product can still be used hygienically after two years. The manufacturer specifies a single material for the entire casting: Realistic Love-Skin, TPR. Realistic Love-Skin is a trade name; TPR is the material designation—a thermoplastic rubber.

What TPR is and what it means in practice

TPR is an umbrella term for thermoplastic elastomers that are blended into a soft, rubber-like mass. The material is cheap to cast in large volumes, it reproduces details in the mold very well, and it provides the soft, pliable feel that this entire product category is built on. That’s why, in practice, nearly every molded masturbator in this price range is made of TPR or TPE rather than silicone.

You pay for those properties in terms of durability and cleanability. TPR is not a non-porous material in the same way as platinum-cured silicone—over time, the surface absorbs fat and lubricants, and after a period of use it becomes sticky. That’s normal material behavior and not a manufacturing defect. A surface that has become porous can’t be cleaned back to its original condition—only kept clean for as long as you can. That makes the cleaning routine more important for this product than for a silicone product, and it also makes the lifespan shorter.

The manufacturer does not publish Shore hardness, any information about non-porosity, or any datasheet for the material. So what’s provided is, in practice, three letters and a trade name. In practice, that’s the category standard at this price point—Pipedream lists just the trade name Fanta Flesh for its corresponding products as well, with no material designation at all—but it should be said plainly rather than hidden behind marketing wording.

Phthalates: the stores declare them; the manufacturer does not.

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic—above all softened PVC—flexible. Kemikalieinspektionen describes them as substances that can affect the hormone system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are therefore restricted or prohibited within the EU. This product category is repeatedly subject to oversight because it consists of softened plastic that lies against the mucous membrane.

There is a clear difference in information between the listings. The manufacturer’s product page contains no phthalate declaration at all for item 17039. Three of the Swedish shops — Blush Me, SexleksakerOutlet, and Vuxen — however state explicitly in their product texts that the material is phthalate-free TPR. So this is a shop claim, not a claim from the manufacturer, and it should be read as a shop claim even if it’s repeated in three consecutive shops. The fact that three shops write the same thing is most likely because they are reproducing the same supplier text.

The fact that the declaration is missing from the manufacturer is not, by itself, evidence that the product contains phthalates. It is sold within the EU and is covered by the same chemical legislation as everything else sold there. But it is a gap, and it’s worth noting because competitors in higher price categories choose to be explicit on that specific point. If you want a documented material declaration, that’s not something you’ll find at this price level.

Dimensions and weight: 21 × 22,5 × 13 cm — and four different weight figures

The manufacturer states the product dimensions as 21 × 22,5 × 13 centimeters, and the product’s own dimension graphic in the image gallery shows the same three numbers on the product: 21 centimeters in width, 22,5 centimeters in depth, and 13 centimeters in height. That makes Big Ass Banger a product that fits in a larger box but not in a drawer, and it is considerably larger than the sister model Hot Honey Rider at 16,5 × 15 × 10,5 centimeters.

The weight deserves its own section, because there are four numbers in circulation for the same item:

• 3 kg — it appears in the product name, as the shops have entered it into their systems.
• 3,2 kg — printed as a weight badge in the manufacturer’s own main image.
• 3,26 kg — the manufacturer’s specification, the line “vikt per enhet”.
• Circa 3,3 kg — the figure Blush Me, SexleksakerOutlet, and Vuxen state in their product texts.

The difference between the extremes is 300 grams, i.e. ten percent. What makes it tricky to figure out is that the manufacturer’s line is called vikt per enhet and it appears under the heading for packaging and logistics details, alongside packaging dimensions and the number of units per outer carton. Whether 3,26 kilos refers to the product by itself or the product with packaging, bullets, and control unit is not stated, and the manufacturer does not publish any separate product weight. Expect a little over three kilos in hand and treat the decimals as approximate.

What the weight means in practice is simple to describe. Three kilos are enough for the product to stay still against a surface during use without having to be held in place, which is the whole point of the format. At the same time, three kilos is heavy enough that storage needs to be planned—this is not something that lies in a toiletry bag, and it also isn’t something that dries quickly if it’s stored in a damp place.

Two channels, two bullet vibrators and one control unit

The construction consists of three parts: the actual casting, two bullet vibrators on a cable, and an external control unit that also serves as a battery holder. The manufacturer describes the system as “dual bullet vibration system” and lists the workflow in three steps—connect the external control unit, choose a vibration setting, and use the product. The number of motors is stated as two.

Having the electronics outside the casting is a thoughtful solution at this price level, and it has two clear consequences. The first is that bullets can be removed completely before cleaning, which is an advantage compared with a product where the motor is embedded. The second is that the control unit will never come into contact with the body, which means the buttons can be reached without fumbling.

The two channels: what the manufacturer shows and what’s missing

The manufacturer states a vaginal and an anal inlet with textured inner tunnels, and there’s a cross-section image in the official image gallery showing how the two channels are positioned. The image is unusually informative for the category: one channel is drawn with evenly repeating, ring-shaped sections all the way in, while the other has an irregular profile with clearly different sections one after another. So the channels are not mirror images of each other, but two different experiences in the same casting.

The store that sells the light-colored sister variant describes the same thing in words: the vaginal channel has several different chambers with varying stimulation, while the anal channel is simpler in the pattern and tighter. That matches the cross-section image, but it’s a store text and not a manufacturer statement.

What, however, is not published are the two figures that matter most before a purchase: the manufacturer provides neither insertion depth nor insertion diameter for Big Ass Banger. That’s a noticeable gap, because those exact lines are found on the sister models in the same series. For Hot Honey Rider, the manufacturer lists 12–20 centimeters vaginally, 9–15 centimeters anally, and an insertion diameter of 1.8–4 centimeters; for Hardcore Deep Fucker, it lists 17 centimeters and 4.5 centimeters. On Big Ass Banger, those lines simply aren’t there. That means the only reference point is the outer height of 13 centimeters, and a channel can never be deeper than the product is high plus the stretching the material allows.

The vibration system: what the manufacturer doesn’t publish

Here is the second big gap. The manufacturer does not publish any number of vibration modes, any frequency, any power, or any sound level for the two bullets. The specifications row reads “Number of motors: 2,” and then the information ends. The package promises “Two Intense Vibrating Bullets,” which is an assessment and not a number.

The shops also do not fill the gap. Vuxen states that with the included controller you can switch between intense and teasing levels, which indicates that there is more than one mode but does not say how many. Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet only mention “powerful vibrations.” None of the five shops specifies a number of modes. What can therefore be concluded is that the control unit regulates the vibration, and that the number of steps it has is not disclosed anywhere in the chain.

One thing, however, can be read from the design: since both bullets are attached to the same control unit via cable, they are controlled together, not separately. You therefore choose one mode that applies to both channels at the same time. If you want independent control of two zones, this is not the product for you.

How is Hidden Desire Big Ass Banger powered? Three AAA batteries

The manufacturer states three AAA batteries. It is not a rechargeable product, and there is no charging port to lose or a cable to buy later. All the shops that describe the batteries — Blush Me, SexleksakerOutlet, and Vuxen — state three AAA batteries, and Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet also explicitly say that the batteries are not included. So factor in that cost in addition to the product price.

That it runs on disposable batteries is a trade-off rather than a pure disadvantage, and it’s worth being clear about why. The downside is ongoing cost and the power gradually dropping as the cells are drained, instead of being kept steady until the battery is finished. The advantage is that the product has no built-in cell that ages. A permanently soldered lithium-ion cell effectively sets an end date for the whole product after a few hundred charging cycles; you replace three AAA batteries in ten seconds, for ten years. On a product that is otherwise limited by the lifespan of the materials, it’s not the worst choice.

The manufacturer does not publish any runtime, either in minutes or in terms of the number of uses. That means a comparison with rechargeable competitors based on runtime can’t be made. The sister model Hardcore Deep Fucker, which has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, is stated to have 59 minutes of runtime and 70 minutes of charging time — that’s the only number published for the family, and it applies to a different product.

Sound level: no figure is available, either from the manufacturer or from the shop

The manufacturer does not publish any measured decibel value for Big Ass Banger, and none of the five shops does either. The sister model Hardcore Deep Fucker has a line called “Noise level” in its specifications, but it is empty there as well. So there is no number to report, and a site that lists a decibel value for this item has either measured it themselves or pulled the figure out of thin air.

What can be established without measuring is that the sound comes from two small excenter motors in bullet format, not from the product as a whole. A bullet vibrator that is nestled in three kilos of soft TPR is strongly dampened by the material around it—mass is the most effective sound dampener in such a design. The control unit, however, is exposed and can produce a faint buzzing from the cable connections.

A practical tip that applies regardless of model: never place the product directly on a hard tabletop while in use. A tabletop acts as a resonance box and amplifies all the sound that otherwise would have stayed in the material. A folded hand towel under the product does more for the sound level than any setting on the control unit.

Waterproof: ”Waterproof” without an ingress protection rating

The manufacturer’s specification line for water resistance contains just one word: Waterproof. Vuxenkul writes the same way “Water-resistant: Yes” and adds in its description that the vibrators are stated to be completely waterproof so they can be used in water and rinsed off. Those are reasonable claims—but it is not an ingress protection rating.

Why the lack of an IP rating matters

Ingress protection ratings are defined in the international standard IEC 60529, and they state exactly what a product has been tested for. IPX6 means strong water jets but not submersion. IPX7 means submersion to a depth of one meter for 30 minutes. The word “waterproof” without a number means nothing—it’s a marketing term, not a test result.

That the difference is not just theoretical is clearest within the same product family: the sister model Hardcore Deep Fucker, as listed by the same manufacturer, is given IPX6, i.e., with an actual rating. The fact that the line is filled in there but only contains an adjective for Big Ass Banger suggests that the latter has not undergone the same test, not that it would be better protected.

Practically speaking, this means: treat bullets and the control unit as splash-proof, not as submersible. The actual casting is massive TPR without electronics and can handle water however you like—it’s the electronics that are the question mark. Vuxenkul’s own care instructions also plainly say that bullets should be taken out of the masturbator before cleaning, which is exactly the right handling regardless of what the enclosure can withstand.

Cleaning, lubricant, and storage

Remove the two bullets and the control unit first. Then rinse the casting in lukewarm water and use an unperfumed soap or a cleaning product intended for intimate products. Both channels should be rinsed separately, and that is more important here than with a tube masturbator because the channels cannot be turned inside out—they are shaped in a solid body.

Drying is the critical part and the one that is most often done carelessly. A sealed channel in a three-kilo heavy block doesn’t dry itself. Dry out the channels inside as far as you can, and let the product air-dry with the openings facing downward before putting it away. Moisture that remains inside is the single most common reason why a TPR product starts to smell.

For lube, use water-based, and that is consistent throughout the chain: the manufacturer’s sister product states the recommendation that it is water-based, and Blush Me, SexleksakerOutlet, and Vuxenkul all say that the product is compatible with water-based lubes. Silicone-based lube embeds into the TPR surface and makes it sticky and successively more porous. Oil-based products like coconut oil break down the softeners in the material and leave behind a film that can’t be removed. Also don’t rinse in hot water—thermoplastic elastomers soften from heat, and a three-kilo heavy casting can be permanently deformed by its own weight if the material gets too warm.

Storage: dark, cool, and flat, and not in direct contact with other TPR or TPE products. Two softened plastics that lie against each other over time can migrate into each other’s surfaces and leave marks. Many use corn starch on the surface after drying to counteract stickiness, which is category practice rather than a manufacturer instruction—the manufacturer publishes no care instructions at all for this item.

Big Ass Banger compared with the alternatives

Four comparisons are relevant: against the less-vibrating sister model, against the larger non-vibrating one, against the only one in the family that has a real sealing class, and against the classic American competitor. All the information below comes from each respective manufacturer’s own specifications, and the recommended prices in euro and dollars are the manufacturers’ own list prices—not Swedish shop prices.

Against Hidden Desire Hot Honey Rider Vibrating — 40 euros for more mass

Hot Honey Rider Vibrating is the direct little sister: same series, same vibration system with two motors and three AAA batteries, same Realistic Love-Skin material in TPR, and the same waterproof rating “Waterproof”. The recommended price is 84.99 euros versus Big Ass Banger’s 124.99 euros.

The difference lies in the format and in the documentation. Hot Honey Rider measures 16.5 × 15 × 10.5 centimeters and weighs 2.7 kilos per unit, versus 21 × 22.5 × 13 centimeters and 3.26 kilos. But what’s interesting is that the younger sister has better specifications despite the lower price: the manufacturer lists insertion depth 12–20 centimeters vaginally and 9–15 centimeters anally, as well as an insertion diameter of 1.8–4 centimeters for Hot Honey Rider. For Big Ass Banger, none of that is published.

The conclusion is uncomfortable but clear: if you pay 40 euros more, you get half a kilo more mass and a noticeably larger body, but you get worse basis for judging the fit before purchase. If insertion depth is crucial for you, the cheaper model is actually the one you can choose based on the facts.

Against Hidden Desire Fat Fuck Queen 6 kg — double the weight, no electronics

Fat Fuck Queen 6 kg is the next step up in the same series: 31 × 25 × 16 centimeters, 6.62 kilos per unit, and a recommended price of 186.99 euros. The material is listed here as TPE instead of TPR — a closely related but not identical material family, and a difference the manufacturer makes without explaining it.

The crucial difference is that Fat Fuck Queens specifications do not list motors or batteries. So it’s a product without vibration, and that’s the comparison that shows what the two bullets in Big Ass Banger actually cost: you get twice as much material and mass for 62 euros more, but no electronics at all. If you want weight, Fat Fuck Queen is the way to go. If you want vibration, Big Ass Banger is the cheapest way to get it in this series.

Against Hardcore Deep Fucker 3.2 kg — the family’s only one with an IP rating

Hardcore Deep Fucker 3.2 kg weighs about the same as Big Ass Banger but is a completely different product class: 31 × 16 × 25 centimeters, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, 59 minutes of runtime, 70 minutes of charging time, seven vibration modes, seven impact modes, and enclosure rating IPX6. Insertion depth is given as 17 centimeters and the diameter as 4.5 centimeters. Recommended price is 199.99 euros.

The comparison is interesting above all as a measuring stick for the documentation. The same manufacturer therefore publishes runtime, charging time, enclosure rating, number of modes, and insertion dimensions when the product is more expensive and more complex. That corresponding lines are left blank for Big Ass Banger is therefore not an error in the template — it’s an active choice. If you need a product with stated runtime and a real IP rating, it’s in the same series, but it costs 75 euros more at list price.

Against Pipedream Fuck Me Silly Mega Masturbator — six times the price

The American counterpart is called Fuck Me Silly and comes from Pipedream. The model Fuck Me Silly Mega Masturbator in brown, item number RD17423, is listed by the manufacturer at 749.99 dollars and is said to weigh over 20 pounds—meaning on the order of three times as heavy as Big Ass Bangers 3.26 kilograms. The material is stated as Fanta Flesh, the manufacturer’s own trade name, and the product has double openings just like Big Ass Banger.

Pipedream offers a one-year manufacturer warranty and links to a product manual—two things Hidden Desire does not do for Big Ass Banger. In return, Pipedream does not publish any dimensions, material composition, or any vibration information on the product page—it also has no vibration. The specifications tab on the manufacturer’s site is empty.

Practically speaking, the two products are hard to compare directly: one is a three-kilo butt with two bullets for around a thousand dollars, the other a body of over 20 pounds without electronics for a list price that is six times higher. What can still be established is that the more expensive product does not provide better documentation—only more material and a longer warranty period. The person who chooses based on the data presented gets unusually little help in this category, regardless of price range.

Price range: 795 to 1,119 SEK and three stores with stock

Five Swedish stores sell the item with EAN 8713221820365, spread across six listings because one store has entered the same barcode twice. Cheapest are Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet at 795 SEK each. Most expensive are Vuxenkul and Sexonic at 1,119 SEK each. That is 324 SEK or a 41 percent difference for the exact same item number, the same color, and the same packaging.

The stock situation is at least as important as the spread in price. Only three of the six listings had the product in stock at the price check: Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet at 795 SEK, and Vuxen at 1,036 SEK. Both Vuxenkul and both Sexonic listings were listed as sold out. That means that the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive available options is 241 SEK, not 324. A price in a store’s feed when they don’t have the item in stock is also often old and rarely what you’ll end up paying when the item comes in again.

Set the prices in relation to the manufacturer’s recommended price of 124.99 euro, and to the fact that Vuxen themselves state 1,295 SEK as the recommended price in Sweden. Stores at 795 SEK are therefore about 39 percent below the Swedish recommended price, while stores at 1,119 SEK are a little over thirteen percent below it. That is an unusually large spread for an item that has been on the market for several years—Vuxenkul has a customer review dated 2023 on its product page—and it is precisely that kind of situation where it pays off the most to compare before you pay.

Also factor in shipping before you compare. Adult states free shipping from 799 SEK on its product page, which in practice means that this store’s price of 1,036 SEK is the final price, while the cheaper stores can add shipping. At a product price level like this, shipping costs alone can eat up part of the difference between the options, so always check the total amount at checkout.

Who is Big Ass Banger for—and who is it not for?

It’s for you if you want a product with real weight rather than a tub massager that has to be held in your hand. Three kilos and a base surface area of 21 × 22.5 centimeters keep it steady on a surface, which is something the manufacturer itself highlights on the packaging. It’s for you if you want two different channels in the same product, and you see value in the fact that the two bullets can be fully removed before cleaning. And it’s for you if you’d rather swap out three AAA batteries for years than own a product with a built-in cell that eventually runs out.

It’s not for you if you want to know the insertion depth before you pay—it isn’t published, and that’s the biggest shortcoming in the specification. It’s not for you if you require a documented enclosure rating for the electronics; in that case, you’ll need to go for a more expensive model in the same series. It’s not for you if you want a phthalate declaration from the manufacturer rather than from the store. And it’s not for you if you want a material that lasts for many years—TPR is soft and realistic, but it’s also the material choice that shortens the lifespan the most.

One more thing belongs in the decision. This is a product that takes up space, both during use and when storing it, and that requires a cleaning routine that actually gets followed. A three-kilo TPR cast that’s put away damp after a handful of uses becomes a problem, not an investment. If you’re not prepared for that, a smaller and lighter model—Hot Honey Rider in the same series weighs 2.7 kilos and costs less—is a more realistic choice.

Warranty, complaint handling, and right of withdrawal

The manufacturer does not publish any warranty period, any user manual, or any EU declaration of conformity for item 17039. The product page includes specifications, a description, and a brand text, but no documentation section. This differs from Pipedream, which for its corresponding product both states a one-year warranty and links to a manual. None of the five Swedish stores states any manufacturer warranty for this item either.

What does always apply, though, are your statutory rights, and in practice they’re stronger than most voluntary warranties. Under the Swedish Consumer Sales Act (konsumentköplagen), you have three years of rights to complain about defects, regardless of what the manufacturer promises to provide or fails to provide. In addition, when buying at a distance, you have a right of withdrawal for fourteen days under the Act on Distance Contracts and Contracts Outside Business Premises (lagen om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler).

Be aware that, in practice, the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene products that have been removed from a sealed package—Konsumentverket provides guidance on exactly where that limit goes. The right to complain about defects, however, always applies. A defect in this context can be a bullet that doesn’t start, a cable connection that feels loose, or a casting with holes or a break; whereas the TPR surface becoming sticky after a period of use is normal material behavior and not a defect within the meaning of the law.

One last practical detail worth knowing: the manufacturer has placed a sales restriction on the item that prohibits retailers from selling it via Amazon, eBay, or other marketplaces, and that limits sales to end consumers within Europe. That explains why you only find the product at specialized stores and not on the large marketplaces—and it’s yet another reason to compare the specific stores that are actually allowed to sell it.
