Review: Extreme XXL Anal Cone 33 cm
Sister model: 33 cm, Ø 5.5–9 cm and ten kronor cheaper — from 349 SEK.
29 July 2026

Review · Anal cone · 26 cm, Ø 5.5–8 cm
Hidden Desires medium-sized anal cones reviewed against the manufacturer’s own specifications and price data from five Swedish stores. Total length 26 centimeters, an insertable diameter that grows from Ø 5.5 to Ø 8 centimeters, smooth PVC, 0.65 kilograms, and a wide base — but neither an insertable length, base dimensions, phthalate declaration, manual, nor warranty are published by the manufacturer. And the sister model at 33 centimeters costs ten SEK less.
A conical PVC product with unusually well-documented basic dimensions for its category: 26 centimeters, insertable diameter Ø 5.5–8 centimeters, 0.65 kilograms, and a published country of origin. The construction is reasonable, the base is wide, and the material can handle all lubricants. What you pay for is the documentation — no insertable length, no phthalate declaration, no manual, and no warranty — and the fact that the sister model at 33 centimeters is larger and at the same time ten kronor cheaper in Swedish retail.
Hidden Desire Extreme Anal Cone XL 26 cm is a massive, conical anal toy made of PVC with no electronics, battery, or moving parts. The manufacturer states the total length as 26 centimeters and the insertable diameter as between 5.5 and 8 centimeters, the material as smooth PVC, the unit weight as 0.65 kilograms, and the country of origin as China. The model number is 16874, the item number is 16874-BLACK, and the recommended retail price is 35.99 euros. In Sweden, the item is sold by five stores at prices between 322.21 and 379 SEK.
The product is included in the series Extreme, which Hidden Desire describes as an XXL Anal Gear collection for those who want to push their boundaries. The brand is owned by the Dutch company SCALA 2.0 BV, which is also behind ToyJoy, Taboom, Xocoon, and Daring Intimates, and it is in their catalog that the full specifications are published — not in the brand’s own consumer shop, where measurements and weight are completely missing.
This review is exclusively about the black 26-centimeter version with EAN 8713221835659. The series contains at least three cones with similar names — 17, 26, and 33 centimeters — and each has its own EAN. The store product names also differ: the same item is called Extreme Anal Cone XL 26 cm at Vuxen and Blush Me, Anal Cone 26 cm at Vuxenkul, and Hidden Desire Anal Cone 26 Cm Black at Sexonic. Check the barcode before you compare prices, not the name.
A normal anal plug has three parts: a tapered tip, a widest point, and then a clear waist before the base. The waist is the whole point. It works as a stop that keeps the plug in place and allows your body to hold onto it without you having to keep holding it. The size of a plug is determined by its widest point, and you pass that point once.
A cone works the opposite way. It becomes gradually wider all the way from the tip to the base, and it has no waist at all. Geometrically, that means two things. The first is that the size isn’t a point but a scale: how wide you take in depends exclusively on how far you insert it. The manufacturer’s stated range of 5.5 to 8 centimeters is therefore not two options, but the endpoints of a continuous curve. The second is that a cone doesn’t stop on its own. Without a waist, there’s no mechanical stop, and the only stop is the wide base at the bottom.
What can be established based on the specification is that this design makes the product more flexible than a plug with a fixed size—you get an entire scale in a single item—and at the same time more demanding, because nothing besides your own control determines how far it goes. That’s why a cone doesn’t belong as a first anal toy, no matter how low the price tag is.
The series contains three conical models that are often mixed up in Swedish shops, because several of them sell all three under almost identical product names.
Note that the narrower measurement, Ø 5.5 centimeters, is identical on the 26- and 33-centimeter model. The difference, then, isn’t where the scale starts, but where it ends and how long the path to it is. That’s an important thing to know before you pay for the larger one: you don’t get a product that starts out softer—you get one that continues for longer.
The way the dimensions are presented is what determines whether a product in this category can be bought at a distance at all, and here the manufacturer is unusually specific for a non-electrical item. SCALA’s catalog listing states a total length of 26 centimeters and an insertable diameter of 5.5 to 8 centimeters, and the manufacturer’s own dimension layout for item 16874 shows the same three numbers set out directly on the product: 26 cm on the height, Ø 5.5 cm on the narrower section a bit higher up, and Ø 8 cm at the very bottom of the cone, above the base.
All five Swedish stores give the measurements without contradicting each other. Vuxen states a total length of 26 centimeters and a maximum diameter of 8 centimeters; Blush Me states 26.00 centimeters and a maximum diameter of 8.00 centimeters; Vuxenkul states 26 centimeters and diameters of 5.5 and 8 centimeters; and SexleksakerOutlet provides the same product text without its own measurement chart. It sounds obvious, but it isn’t: in this product category, conflicting measurements between stores are more the rule than the exception.
Diameter is a misleading measurement for this type of product, because the body doesn’t feel the diameter but the circumference. Based on the manufacturer’s own figures, Ø 5.5 centimeters corresponds to a circumference of approximately 17.3 centimeters, and Ø 8 centimeters corresponds to a circumference of approximately 25.1 centimeters. These are conversions of the manufacturer’s measurements, not separate details — but they are the only way to compare with something you already know.
So the difference between the two endpoints is almost eight centimeters in circumference, and that difference is spread out over the cone’s last centimeters. What can be established purely geometrically is that a cone grows slowly at the beginning and quickly at the end: the last five centimeters of insertion depth provide significantly more circumference than the first five. That’s exactly why this product type requires going in steps and why the steps become smaller, not larger, the further in you go.
The manufacturer’s wording — insertable diameter 5.5–8 centimeters — should also be read carefully. It’s the diameter of the insertable part that lies within that range. It says nothing about how wide the base is, and the base is another measurement that the manufacturer doesn’t publish.
Weight is the piece of information where the sources actually diverge, and it deserves a closer look. SCALA’s catalog entry gives weight per unit as 0.65 kilo. The Czech retailer Erosstar states 652 grams, which is, in practice, the same figure. Sexonics structured product data, however, lists 1.000000 kilo.
When a store contradicts the manufacturer, the manufacturer wins — and 0.65 kilo is the figure that should apply. Sexonics’ kilograms also look like a standard shipping-calculation value rather than a weighing — even round kilo figures are rarely found in real product data. At the same time, note that the manufacturer’s own consumer shop doesn’t publish any weight at all: the weight field in the product data on hiddendesire.eu is set to zero. The information only exists in the wholesale catalog, and that’s the explanation for why most of the stores that sell the item don’t list any weight.
Saying that 650 grams isn’t much for a product of this size says something about the material. A 26-centimeter-long cone with a base about 8 centimeters in diameter would weigh significantly more if it were solid cast silicone. The weight is therefore in itself an indication that the material is soft and partly flexible—how Erosstar also classifies the material hardness: soft.
The manufacturer does not publish an insertable length for this model. What is given is total length of 26 centimeters, and the total length includes the flared base. How many centimeters are actually insertable is not shown either in the catalog listing, on the product page, or in the size diagram, and none of the five Swedish shops fill the gap.
It’s a real drawback, and it becomes clear only when you compare it to a competitor that does it: XR Brands states for its Master Series Giant Ribbed Anal Cone both total length of 11.25 inches and insertable length of 10.25 inches—i.e., 28.6 and 26.0 centimeters, respectively. The difference between the two measurements is 2.6 centimeters—that is, exactly the part made up by the base. There is no corresponding breakdown for Hidden Desires’ cone, which means that you don’t know in advance how much of those 26 centimeters is usable length.
The material question is the only characteristic of an intimate product that can’t be compensated for with habit or care, and it determines whether the product is still hygienic after two years. The manufacturer lists a single material: smooth PVC. The same word is used in the catalog listing, on the product page, and in the shop texts that are translated from it. There is no core, no other material specification, and no coating.
Silicone and soft-plasticized PVC behave differently in three respects that matter for this particular use.
The first is the surface. Silicone is non-porous and chemically stable in its finished form. Soft-plasticized PVC is, in practice, a rigid plastic that’s made flexible with added plasticizers, and those plasticizers aren’t chemically bound in the polymer—they’re mixed into it. That means they can slowly migrate out of the material over time. In practice, you notice it as the surface becoming sticky or developing a greasy film after a while—this is the material aging, not dirt.
The second is heat resistance. Silicone can be boiled; PVC can’t. This closes the door to the simplest disinfection method and means cleaning has to be done with soap and water.
The third is lifespan. A silicone product can last for ten years with proper care. A PVC product should be regarded as a consumer good with a few years of lifespan, and it should be replaced when the surface changes—not washed more aggressively. That’s how you should read the price tag: 359 SEK is cheap compared with silicone, but it’s not the same deal, because it’s not the same time horizon.
Phthalates are the most common group of plasticizers in plasticized PVC. The Swedish Chemicals Agency (Kemikalieinspektionen) describes them as substances that can affect the endocrine system and make reproduction harder, and several of the most widely used are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. The restrictions target individual substances, not the PVC material itself—PVC can be plasticized with other substances than phthalates.
That means that the word PVC in a material declaration says nothing at all about which plasticizers are included. That’s why the material specification on a PVC product is incomplete without an additional statement, and that’s why manufacturers who have their chemistry in order usually print it out.
Hidden Desire makes no such commitment for this model. Neither the product page nor the catalog entry mentions phthalates, plasticizers, or any chemical declaration whatsoever. It is not a sign that the product would contain restricted substances—it is sold within the EU and is covered by the same rules as everything else—but it is an absence of information, and that absence is worth noting because two of the closest competitors provide the information. XR Brands explicitly writes Non-phthalate PVC for its Giant Ribbed Anal Cone, and Analconda is described as being made in phthalate-free vinyl.
There is a deviation here that’s worth pointing out, because it’s easy to read it the wrong way. Blush Me lists the material as Phthalate-free PVC in its specification table. The other four stores don’t do that: Vuxen only writes pvc, Vuxenkul writes PVC, SexleksakerOutlet has no material field at all, and Sexonics product data states no material.
The information that the PVC is phthalate-free is a store statement from Blush Me, not a statement from the manufacturer. It may very well be correct—but it can’t be traced back to any published document from Hidden Desire or SCALA, and therefore it shouldn’t be read as a manufacturer declaration. If the question is decisive for you, the only honest advice is to ask the store where the information comes from before you buy.
This is a product without an interface. There are no buttons, no modes, no app, and no motor — Vuxenkul lists the control option as "Manual / Hand-controlled", and that’s the entire description. Everything that determines how it works is built into the geometry: the tip’s shape, the cone’s angle, the ring-shaped ridges along the shaft, and the base’s width.
The manufacturer describes the construction as made to glide in smoothly and then be used by riding it up and down, with a wide base for safety and comfort. The shop text from Vuxen and Blush Me adds that the narrowing tip makes insertion easy, that the surface is ridged along the entire length, and that the stable base makes it possible to experiment with different angles. These are wordings from sales material, but they match what you can see in the manufacturer’s own product images: a rounded, slim top, six to seven clear ridges that increase in size going downward, and an outward-flared, flat base.
For every anal toy, the base is the only design detail that is a pure safety issue. The anus can pull in an object that lacks a sufficiently wide contact surface, and that’s why all anal products should have a base that is noticeably wider than the widest insertable point.
Here, the geometry speaks in favor of the product. The widest insertable point is Ø 8 centimeters, and the manufacturer’s images show a base that clearly flares out beyond it. A cone that is already eight centimeters wide where it meets the base can, in practice, not be pulled in. But the base measurement itself is not published by the manufacturer, and it’s also missing from all five shops. So you have to judge the base from the picture instead of from a number, which is unsatisfactory at exactly the point where a number would have mattered most.
One more thing about the base: the manufacturer describes it as wide and stable, but never states anywhere that it is a suction cup. The images show a flat, circular bottom with a recess, and for the sister model at 33 centimeters, two Swedish shops explicitly list it as a suction cup. For this model, there is no such information from either the manufacturer or the shop, and it should therefore not be bought with the expectation that it will stick to tile.
This is one of the few areas where PVC has a practical advantage over silicone. Silicone-based lubricants should never be used on silicone products, because they break down the surface and make it porous. PVC doesn’t have that problem — silicone oil doesn’t attack PVC in the same way — and that means both water-based and silicone-based lubricants can be used.
Water-based is still the first choice for two reasons. It’s the easiest to wash off, and it’s the only one that works together with latex condoms without weakening the material. For this product category—where the amount of lubricant is a safety factor and not a comfort issue—there are also thicker water-based anal lubricants that stay in place longer. Oily products like coconut oil should be avoided regardless of the material: they leave a film that’s difficult to remove and make the surface hard to judge.
The manufacturer does not publish any recommendation about lubricant for this article. There is no manual, no care instructions, and no material warning from Hidden Desire. Everything above follows from the material, not from a statement by the manufacturer.
What makes a cone useful is that it has a scale, and what makes it risky is that the scale has no stops. Practically, that means you should decide on a depth before and not during use, and that increases belong between sessions and never within the same.
Two things are worth being very clear about. Never use numbing gel or cream to go further—the pain signal is the only protection the body has against tissue damage, and turning it off is removing the brake. And stop if there’s pain instead of pushing through it; anal tissue heals slowly, and injuries there are often noticed only afterward.
The fact that the product is 26 centimeters long doesn’t mean that 26 centimeters is the target. The bottom part of the cone is the widest, and for almost everyone, the usable part is far before the base. That’s also why the range 5.5–8 centimeters is the interesting figure in the specification, not the total length.
The product has no electronics, no battery, and no seams. That makes cleaning easy in principle: the entire item can be kept under running water without regard to buttons or charging contacts. Because it’s smooth and has no deep grooves, there’s nowhere for residue to gather, apart from the transition between the cone and the base.
Room-warm water and fragrance-free soap, or a cleaning product intended for intimate products. Rinse thoroughly, wipe with a clean towel, and let it air-dry before putting the product away. Don’t pour hot water over it and never put it in a dishwasher—PVC softens and deforms at temperatures that silicone can handle without any problem.
Storage is more important for PVC than for silicone. Softened PVC can react with other plastic materials on direct contact, which in the worst case can cause two products to melt together at the surface. Store it therefore separately, in a fabric pouch, or by itself in a box, and not in a pile with other toys. The manufacturer delivers the product in a polybag and does not include any storage pouch.
Finally, the lifespan is a material issue, not a care issue. When the surface starts to feel sticky, becomes discolored, or changes smell, the product is used up. You can’t wash it away, and it isn’t a sign that it was cleaned poorly—it’s the plasticizer that leaves the material.
IP ratings according to IEC 60529 describe how well an enclosure protects electrical equipment against dust and water. This product has no electrical equipment to protect. It’s a solid piece of plastic, and it can be rinsed, soaked, and used in a shower or bathtub without any classification being needed.
The manufacturer therefore publishes no IP rating, and should not do so either. If you see an IP rating for a product of this type in a store text, it’s an incorrect application of the standard, not an extra quality feature. Erosstar states the property “water-resistant” without classification, which is the correct level of precision for an article without electronics.
A review of this kind hinges on how much the manufacturer actually provides. Hidden Desire publishes more than you’d think for a non-electrical item, but only if you know where to look: the brand’s own consumer shop includes a sales text, a series of images, and a price, while the actual specifications are in SCALA’s wholesale catalog.
What is published is total length, insertion diameter, material, packaging type, weight per unit, country of origin, model number, item number, barcode, and recommended retail price. What is not published is insertion length, base diameter, material hardness, phthalate declaration, packaging dimensions, care instructions, warning text, and warranty.
No. Hidden Desire has its own page for user manuals, and it covers vibrating anal toys, masturbators, penis cages, sex swings, sex machines, electrical products, and dolls. The Extreme line’s non-electrical anal products are not included, and for this item there is therefore neither a manual, care instructions, nor a safety sheet.
For a product without electronics, the absence of a technical manual is understandable. The absence of safety and care instructions is not, because this product category is precisely where a couple of lines about progression, glide lubricant, and the base’s function would have made real use. It is the single biggest shortcoming in the documentation, and it is shared across the entire Extreme series.
SCALA states that the item is delivered in a polybag — in other words, a plastic bag, not a cardboard box with printing. That explains why none of the stores show any packaging image and why the packaging dimensions are not published anywhere. The country of origin is listed as China, and the list price as 35.99 euro.
One detail in the catalog that says something about distribution: SCALA states that the item may not be sold via Amazon, eBay, or other marketplaces, and that it may only be sold directly to end consumers within Europe. That explains why the product shows up at specialized Swedish stores but not in the assortment of the big marketplaces — and why the price picture is as even as it is.
We do not have price data from shops in your market yet.
The sister model is seven centimeters longer, one centimeter wider, and ten SEK cheaper. That makes the 26-centimeter model a middle option that’s hard to justify based on the specifications alone.
Three comparisons are relevant: against the larger sister model in the same series, against the smaller one, and against the nearest competitor from another brand. All the measurement details below come from each manufacturer’s own specifications, and all Swedish prices come from the stores’ product feeds on 29 July 2026.
The sister model at 33 centimeters is the comparison that hurts this item the most. The manufacturer states a total length of 33 centimeters, an insertable diameter of 5.5 to 9 centimeters, and a weight of 1.06 kilograms. So the narrower dimension is identical to the 26-centimeter model’s, while the widest is one centimeter larger and the length is seven centimeters longer.
List prices reflect the difference: 56.99 euro versus 35.99 euro. The Swedish price doesn’t. the 33-centimeter model is sold from 349 SEK at seven stores, i.e. ten kronor cheaper than the 26-centimeter model’s lowest price in stock at 359 SEK. It’s purely a pricing-setting phenomenon and not an error in the data — the larger model is available at more stores and has already been price-pressed, while the smaller one is sold by fewer and stays close to the list price.
The conclusion is uncomfortable but simple. If you want the shorter cone, you should buy it because it’s shorter, not because it’s cheaper — it isn’t. If you want a product that reaches further into a future progression, you get seven more centimeters and a one-centimeter larger max diameter for less money. And if you want a soft starting point, the choice between the two makes no difference at all, because both start at Ø 5.5 centimeters.
The smallest model in the series, item 16865, is listed by the manufacturer as having a total length of 17 centimeters, PVC material, a weight of 0.4 kilograms, and a list price of 26.99 euro. In Sweden, it is sold starting at 241.63 SEK at Sexonic and at 269 SEK at Vuxen, Blush Me, and SexleksakerOutlet.
SCALA does not publish a diameter for the 17-centimeter model in the catalog listing, which makes it harder to assess than its two siblings — and that in itself is a plus: the same manufacturer, the same series, and yet three different levels of reporting.
Still, it’s the model that’s the reasonable entry point in the series. Nine centimeters shorter, 250 grams lighter, and ninety kronor cheaper, and therefore a significantly less costly path to find out whether conical anal toys work for you. If you’re unsure, you’re better off starting there than buying the 26-centimeter model and hoping.
XR Brands Master Series Giant Ribbed Anal Cone, item number AF608, is the closest size competitor. The manufacturer states a total length of 11.25 inches and an insertable length of 10.25 inches, i.e., 28.6 and 26.0 centimeters respectively, and a diameter that increases from 1.25 to 3.5 inches — 3.2 to 8.9 centimeters. The material is explicitly listed as phthalate-free PVC, and the list price is 73.44 dollars.
The comparison is interesting precisely because the products are so similar. Both are conical, ribbed PVC products in roughly the same size class; both lack electronics; and both are made for progression. The difference lies almost entirely in the reporting: XR Brands gives both total length and insertable length, starts its scale more than two centimeters narrower — 3.2 centimeters versus 5.5 — and states that the PVC is phthalate-free. Hidden Desire doesn’t do any of that.
The Master Series cone, on the other hand, isn’t sold by any of the Swedish stores in our price comparison, which makes it hard to buy in Sweden without import shipping. That’s the practical limitation of the comparison — but it doesn’t make the missing information from Hidden Desire any less noticeable, because it shows that it’s possible to publish.
One last comparison for perspective: Analconda Snake Cone 63 cm, which Blush Me sells for 995 SEK, is listed with a total length of 63 centimeters, an insertable length of 60 centimeters, and a weight of just over five kilos, made from phthalate-free vinyl. The same product page, however, gives a maximum diameter of both 10.00 centimeters in the specification table and 15.5 centimeters in the body text — a contradiction within a single document, and a reminder of why store details should always be read as store details.
Five Swedish stores sell the item with EAN 8713221835659. The lowest price is Sexonic at 322.21 SEK, and the highest price is Vuxenkul at 379 SEK. That’s 56.79 SEK, or just under an 18 percent difference, for the same item number and the same color—an unusually small spread in this category, where 50 to 170 percent is more common.
The stock situation, however, changes the picture completely. Three of the five stores had the product in stock at the price check, and all three were listed at exactly 359 SEK: Vuxen, Blush Me, and SexleksakerOutlet. The two lowest and highest listings—Sexonic at 322.21 SEK and Vuxenkul at 379 SEK—both applied to the articles that the stores had listed as sold out. In practice, there’s therefore no price to compare: anyone who wants the item delivered pays 359 SEK no matter which of the three stores they choose.
Shipping is therefore the only variable left, and it’s not negligible in this price range. The stores’ product flows show shipping of 29 SEK at Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet and 98 SEK at Sexonic, while Vuxenkul lists 0 SEK. Vuxen offers free shipping from 799 SEK on its product page. That means Sexonics’ lowest price in practice is the most expensive option: 322.21 plus 98 SEK becomes 420.21 SEK, versus 388 SEK for 359 plus 29. A lowest price without shipping is rarely a lowest price.
The price spread isn’t because any store sells a different variant. All five list the item under EAN 8713221835659 or under their own item number that’s tied to that item—Vuxenkul uses SC4586-1 and Sexonic uses its internal 1980, but both list the same barcode. The prices in the table above are updated when the stores’ product flows are updated, but always check the final price including shipping at checkout.
It’s for you if you already know that conical anal toys work for you and you want a scale rather than a fixed size. It’s for you if you want a product without electronics to charge, without a battery that dies, and without an interface to learn. It’s for you if you want to be able to use both water-based and silicone-based lube, which a silicone product doesn’t allow. And it’s for you if you accept it as a disposable item: 359 SEK for a few years of use, not for ten.
It’s not for you if you’re new to anal toys. A cone with a waist has no stop, and this one starts at Ø 5.5 centimeters—that’s not a beginner size; it’s already well into the scale. It’s not for you if you want silicone, boilable cleaning, and a ten-year lifespan. It’s not for you if you require a published phthalate declaration before purchase, because the manufacturer provides none. And it’s not for you if you want a manual, a care instructions sheet, or a warranty in the package—none of that comes with it.
One more thing belongs in the decision, and it is inconvenient for this particular item. Within the same series there is a model that is seven centimeters longer, one centimeter wider, and ten SEK cheaper, and one that is nine centimeters shorter and ninety SEK cheaper. That makes the 26-centimeter model a middle option that is difficult to justify based on the specifications alone. It is the right choice if you want exactly that size — but it is rarely the obvious choice within its own series.
Hidden Desire does not provide any product warranty and does not state any warranty period for this item. The manufacturer’s terms of purchase contain no warranty provisions at all; what is regulated there is that visible defects must be reported within 48 hours, and that products with a broken hygiene seal cannot be returned. None of the five Swedish stores mentions any manufacturer warranty for the item either.
What does, however, always apply are your statutory rights, and they are independent of what a manufacturer promises. Under konsumentköplagen, you have three years of right to make a complaint for defects in the goods. An original defect — a crack in the casing, a base that comes loose, a surface that breaks down prematurely — is a defect within the meaning of the law, and three years is in practice longer than this product’s reasonable service life.
For distance purchases, there is also a right of withdrawal for fourteen days under lagen om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler. Be aware that in practice the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene products that have been taken out of a sealed package — and that this item is delivered in a polybag, which makes it difficult to open the package without breaking the seal. The right to complain about defects, on the other hand, always applies. If you have questions about what applies in your case, Konsumentverket guides you via Hallå konsument.
