Review · Thicker anal plug · Non-electrical
Hidden Desire’s segmented XXL plug reviewed against the manufacturer’s own specifications and price data from five Swedish stores. Total length of 34 centimeters, an insertable diameter that increases from 3.5 to 7.5 centimeters, 830 grams PVC and a wide cross-shaped base — but neither a phthalate declaration, a manual, nor a warranty, and an 85 percent price difference between the cheapest and the most expensive store.
The progressive shape is the model’s real argument: it starts at 3.5 centimeters and ends at 7.5, which makes it the only one in the Hidden Desires Extreme series that works as a complete product by itself instead of requiring another one. The base is wide, and the construction has no wear parts. What you pay for is the documentation—the manufacturer states the material as PVC only, with no phthalate declaration, publishes neither insertion length, hardness, nor base dimensions, provides no manual, and offers no warranty at all.
Hidden Desire Extreme XXL Anal Drill 34 cm is a non-electrical anal plug in the upper size class. The specification is short enough to fit in a single sentence: total length 34 centimeters, insertable diameter that grows from 3.5 to 7.5 centimeters, the material is PVC, the color is black, and the weight per unit is 0.83 kilograms. The manufacturer’s item number is 16876, the sales variant is named 16876-BLACK, and the barcode is 8713221835673. The recommended retail price stated by the brand owner is 44.99 euro.
There is no motor, no battery, no app, and nothing to charge. Vuxenkul categorizes the control as simply “Manual / Hand-controlled,” and that is a correct description of the entire product. It also means that most of the rows that otherwise fill out a specification table — runtime, charging time, number of modes, IPX rating, sound level — do not exist here. The assessment instead comes down to four things: the dimensions, the material, the construction of the base, and the price.
In Sweden, the item is sold by five stores at prices between 259 and 479 SEK. Three of them had it in stock at the price check. That is a price spread of 220 SEK, i.e. 85 percent calculated from the lowest price, for exactly the same barcode and exactly the same black variant. It is one of the larger spreads in the category, and the reason is that two of the stores sell the model as a clearance item while the others keep it at the regular price level.
The name is the manufacturer’s marketing term and not a technical designation. “Drill” refers to the shape: the shaft is built up from a series of ringed segments that run in a gentle spiral around the body, roughly like the threads on a drill bit. Vuxen describes the surface texture with a single word in its specification field — “Rifled” — and that is the most precise summary any of the sources provides.
Functionally, the segmentation does two things. The first is that it breaks up the inside of the product into steps instead of a smooth cone, so that each segment provides a clear marking as it passes. The second is that it makes the diameter vary along the shaft instead of growing linearly, which is the difference compared with a smooth cone. The manufacturer’s own description formulates the intended use as working up and down once the product is in place, meaning a movement along the shaft rather than a fixed position.
What can be established based on the manufacturer’s size chart is that the diameter does not increase evenly. The image marks three points: Ø 3.5 centimeters on the tip part, Ø 6.5 centimeters where the ridged shaft is widest, and Ø 7.5 centimeters on the smooth ball closest to the base. The catalog entry summarizes the same thing as an interval, “3.5–7.5 cm,” but that interval hides that the widest part is all the way at the end just before the base — and that the step from 6.5 to 7.5 centimeters is taken over a length of just a couple of centimeters.
The Hidden Desires Extreme series consists of multiple articles with similar-sounding names, and they get mixed up regularly in Swedish stores because several of them are sold under shortened names like “Anal Drill 34 cm” without a brand. Three shapes are relevant to distinguish between.
So the difference between Drill and Cone is not primarily the length but how the diameter is distributed. The cone on the 33-centimeter model is almost as long but starts at 5.5 centimeters — it has no narrow tip to begin with. Drill starts at 3.5 centimeters and ends at 7.5. That makes Drill the one of the two that can be inserted gradually, and Cone the one that requires you to already be in that diameter. Serpent solves a completely different task and shouldn’t be compared by diameter at all.
The material question is the only characteristic of an intimate product that cannot be compensated for with experience, technique, or care, and for a product without electronics it is, in practice, the entire product. Here, the message is unambiguous but thin: the manufacturer states the material as PVC. The product text in the brand’s own web shop says “made of smooth PVC,” the catalog entry from the brand owner has a material line made up of three letters, and Vuxen and Vuxenkul repeat the same information on their pages.
PVC and silicone are two completely different families of materials, and the difference is mainly noticeable in three respects. The first is the plasticizer. Silicone is soft by itself—the softness comes from the polymer’s own structure. Soft PVC, on the other hand, is hard plastic made flexible by mixing it with a plasticizer, and the plasticizer is an added substance that makes up a significant share of the material. Which substance it is determines how the product should be assessed, and that is exactly the task that is not published here.
The second is the surface. Silicone is non-porous, which means the surface can be cleaned because there are are no microscopic voids where residues can remain. PVC with a glossy surface is close in that respect as long as the surface is intact, but it is more sensitive to scratches, and a scratched surface in soft PVC becomes more difficult to clean in a way that a scratched silicone surface does not.
The third is temperature resistance. Silicone can withstand boiling, which is why silicone products can be sterilized. Soft PVC does not—heat accelerates the plasticizer migrating out of the material, and the product gradually becomes harder and stickier. In practice, that means this product should never be boiled, never go in the dishwasher, and never be stored warm.
It should be said that PVC is not a bad material in itself, and there is a reason why extra-large sizes are made in PVC: the material is cheap enough to make an 830 grams product possible for 259 SEK, and it is injection-molded into complex shapes such as segmented spirals more easily than silicone. The price picture for this product is the material choice. But the trade-off has to be deliberate.
Phthalates are the most common group of plasticizers in soft PVC. 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 prohibited within the EU in a large number of product groups. This particular product category is repeatedly the subject of supervision, because it combines softened plastic with long-term contact with the mucous membrane.
Here comes the most important observation in the entire review. Neither Hidden Desire nor the brand owner SCALA 2.0 BV states anywhere that the material in article 16876 is phthalate-free. The product page writes "smooth PVC". The catalog entry writes "PVC". There is no mention of phthalates, no mention of BPA, and no mention of latex. None of the five Swedish stores fills the gap either: Vuxen and Vuxenkul write "pvc" and "PVC", respectively, and Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet publish no material information at all on their product pages.
A missing detail is not the same thing as the product containing regulated phthalates — it should be stated clearly. But the comparison with how other manufacturers handle exactly the same material is enlightening. XR Brands explicitly states for its Master Series Giant Ribbed Anal Cone material in its specification as “Non-phthalate PVC,” meaning phthalate-free PVC, directly in the specification. It’s the same material family, the same product type, and the same size class — but one manufacturer chooses to spell it out. When one manufacturer can make the commitment and another leaves it out, the difference itself is information.
Practical conclusion: if phthalate-free is a requirement for you, you cannot verify this product against that requirement based on published information, and then you should choose a model where the manufacturer states it. If you still buy it, a condom over the product is the only way to completely avoid direct contact between the material and the mucous membrane.
Measurements and weight: The manufacturer lists the total length as 34 centimeters and the insertable diameter as 3.5–7.5 centimeters. The measurement description specifies three points along the shaft: Ø 3.5 centimeters, Ø 6.5 centimeters, and Ø 7.5 centimeters. Vuxenkul reproduces those exact three values in its diameter field, while Blush Me and Vuxen present them as a min and max value of 3.50 and 7.50 centimeters, respectively. All stores are therefore in agreement with the manufacturer on the measurements — it’s unusual in this category and worth noting.
One important thing is missing, though. The manufacturer publishes no insertable length — only the total length of 34 centimeters. The difference is not cosmetic: the base of this model is a wide, cross-shaped foot that is not inserted, and the ball section above it is the thickest part of the entire product. How many of the 34 centimeters are actually insertable therefore cannot be read out from any published source. That the closely related Serpent model receives exactly the same treatment in the catalog — 45 centimeters total length, no insertable length — suggests that this is a systematic omission by the brand owner and not an oversight specific to this item.
The weight information also requires a note. The catalog lists 0.83 kilograms as “weight per unit,” and the same value appears in the product data as 830 grams. What that value covers is not stated: the product by itself, or the product in its polybag. In this case the difference is marginal because the packaging is a plastic bag rather than a cardboard box, but the information is still not specified. On the manufacturer’s own product page, the weight field is also set to zero, which is a common symptom that store data has been imported without the field being filled in.
To put 830 grams in perspective: the system model Extreme Anal Cone XXL 33 cm weighs 1.06 kilograms even though it is one centimeter shorter, because it is massive along its entire length and does not have a narrow tip. Serpent at 45 centimeters weighs 0.61 kilograms even though it is eleven centimeters longer, because it is consistently narrow. So the weight says more about the amount of material than about the length, and Drill sits in between the two—which matches the shape.
What the manufacturer, however, does not publish are the base dimensions. How wide the cross-shaped foot is, and how far it protrudes from the ball, is not shown on either the product page, the catalog, or in a dimension diagram—and it is that figure that matters most for safety. This needs to be noted as a gap.
The manufacturer’s own instructions consist of a single sentence in the product text: the product is made to glide in smoothly and then be worked up and down toward orgasm, and it has a wide base for safety and comfort. That’s the entire instruction. No manual in addition to that exists, which is addressed further down.
What can be established about the intended use is that the product is designed for movement along the shaft, not for carrying. This follows from two things in the specification. The first is that the thickest part, 7.5 centimeters, sits at the very bottom, directly above the base—a product intended to stay in place would instead have a narrow neck section there. The other is the weight: 830 grams is significantly more than what a portable plug weighs, and the heaviness appears to pull downward in every position except while lying down.
On an anal product without a cord, string, or motor, the base is not a design choice but the actual safety construction. The anus has no natural stop function, and a product without a sufficiently wide foot can be pulled in completely. That is why the manufacturer’s wording “wide base for safety and comfort” is the only sentence in the entire product text that is about anything other than pleasure.
The shape of the base can be read from the manufacturer’s own product images: a cross-shaped foot with four upward-swept flaps that widen outward from a neck section under the ball. That design has a practical advantage in addition to safety—it allows the product to stand on a surface without tipping over, which is relevant for a 34-centimeter-long and 830-gram item. Vuxenkul describes the same thing as a “stable and wide base” that provides freedom of position.
The downside of a flared base instead of a flat plate is that the flaps leave gaps, and those gaps sit directly against the skin in the most sensitive area. It’s not a safety issue, but it means the base doesn’t distribute pressure as evenly as a solid plate would. As mentioned, the manufacturer doesn’t publish the base’s dimensions, so it isn’t possible to state exactly how wide the foot spreads.
Diameter figures in this category quickly become abstract, so it’s worth converting them. A diameter of 7.5 centimeters corresponds to a circumference of roughly 23.6 centimeters, and a diameter of 3.5 centimeters to a circumference of about 11 centimeters. So, over its length, the product goes from just over eleven centimeters to nearly twenty-four centimeters of circumference. That’s a bit more than a doubling, and it happens in steps because the shaft is segmented.
That the tip starts at 3.5 centimeters is the single most important design feature of this model compared with the rest of the series. The Coneserien series starts at 5.5 centimeters, which means the first contact is already at a diameter that many don’t reach. Drill can basically be inserted a bit by someone who’s used to a regular plug, and it’s the progressive part of the product that’s its real argument. Where on the shaft you stop is up to you—but the last centimeters before the base are a completely different size category than the first ones.
What can’t be read from the specification is the material’s hardness. None of the sources lists a Shore hardness or even a qualitative description like “soft” or “firm” other than the word “smooth” about the surface. At this diameter, hardness plays at least as big a role as the measurement does, because a material that yields behaves completely differently from one that doesn’t. The manufacturer publishes no hardness information, and that’s a real gap in the underlying information.
The manufacturer does not publish any lubricant recommendation for this item—neither on the product page, in the catalog, or anywhere else—because there is no manual. What you can still establish based on the material is that oil-based products, including coconut oil and massage oils, don’t belong with soft PVC: oil speeds up the softener leaving the material and also leaves a film that’s hard to remove.
Water-based lubricant is the safe standard choice and the one that works with all materials in the category. On a product of this length and diameter, the amount is also a practical issue in itself—just a thin layer isn’t enough over 34 centimeters, and water-based lubricants dry out and need to be topped up. It’s worth budgeting for as an ongoing cost rather than a one-time expense.
The absence of electronics makes maintenance simple at one point and demanding at another. Simple, because there is no battery compartment, no charging connector, and no seal to take into account — the entire product can be kept under running water without needing to consult any IPX rating. Demanding, because the material sets limits that a silicone product doesn’t have.
Rinse the product in lukewarm water directly after use, and use fragrance-free soap or a cleaning agent intended for intimate products. Be careful in the grooves between the segments — that’s where residue collects on a ridged product, and those grooves are deeper on this model than on a smooth cone. Rinse off all soap and let the product air-dry completely before putting it away.
What should not be done is just as important. Do not boil the product. Don’t run it in the dishwasher. Don’t use disinfectants with alcohol that is left on the surface. All three speed up the softener migrating out of the PVC, and the result is a surface that first becomes sticky and then hard. This is the most common degradation path for soft PVC, and it is not reversible.
Storage: dry, cool, and by itself. Soft PVC should not be in direct contact with other soft-plastic products for a long time, because plasticizers can migrate between materials that are in contact with each other, making both surfaces feel tacky. A separate bag or box solves that. Avoid direct sunlight and storage near radiators.
There’s no published information to go on here — the manufacturer states neither an expected service life nor any recommendation about when the product should be replaced. What can generally be said about soft PVC is that the material ages even without use, that the rate depends on heat, light, and contact with oil, and that the signs are clear: the surface becomes sticky, the material becomes stiffer, and the smell intensifies. Once any of that happens, the product is used up, regardless of how little it has been used.
The opposite applies to the construction. There’s no battery that degrades, no motor that wears out, and no seal that dries out. A solid PVC product without moving parts has no wear parts at all, and that’s a real advantage compared with an electric product in the same price range — where the battery almost always sets the limit for service life. With this product, it’s the material itself that does.
Hidden Desire has its own page for user manuals, and it’s worth going through what’s there, because it shows how the manufacturer prioritizes documentation. Manuals are published for vibrating anal toys in multiple languages, for Bangers-masturbators, for cock rings, for sex swings, for sex machines, for electro products, and for the Banger Babes dolls. For Extreme-series non-electrical anal products, there is no manual at all.
There’s logic to that—a product without buttons needs no operating instructions—but the consequence is that information that normally appears in a manual lacks a published source in this article. The material’s hardness, the insertable length, the base’s dimensions, cleaning instructions, lubricant recommendations, and any temperature limitations are not documented anywhere.
The warranty question follows the same pattern. The manufacturer’s terms of purchase contain no product warranty and no warranty period. Instead, what’s regulated is three things: visible defects on a delivered item must be reported in writing or by phone within 48 hours, hidden defects within two months from when they are discovered, and if a complaint is assessed as justified, the seller’s responsibility is limited to replacing the item. So there is no promise of durability over time from the manufacturer at all—which is common in this part of the market but stands in sharp contrast to branded products with electronics, where five- and fifteen-year warranties occur.
One detail in the terms is worth knowing: products with a broken hygienic seal cannot, according to the manufacturer, be returned. Since the article is delivered in a polybag and not in a box, in practice opened packaging is final. At the same time, the manufacturer offers a 30-day right of withdrawal in its own web shop, i.e. longer than the law’s fourteen days for distance purchases—but it applies to the manufacturer’s own store, not the Swedish retailers, and it applies to unopened items.
Finally, a note about distribution that explains why the product is hard to price-compare outside specialist stores: the brand owner states in its catalog entry a sales restriction that prohibits retailers from selling the item on Amazon, eBay, and similar marketplaces, and limits sales to European end consumers. That’s the explanation for why all five matches in the Swedish price comparison are specialist stores only.

XR Brands writes "Non-phthalate PVC" in the specification for its corresponding model. Hidden Desire writes "PVC". Same material, but only one of the manufacturers makes the commitment.
Three comparisons are relevant: against the thickest model in the same series, against the longest one, and against a product from another brand that does exactly the same thing but declares the material differently. All information below comes from each respective manufacturer’s own specifications.
Extreme Anal Cone XXL 33 cm is item 16875 with EAN 8713221835666. It is 33 centimeters long, i.e. one centimeter shorter than Drill, but the insertable diameter goes from 5,5 to 9 centimeters instead of 3,5 to 7,5. The weight is 1,06 kilos versus Drill’s 0,83, and the list price is 56,99 euro versus Drill’s 44,99. Both are PVC and both are delivered in a polybag.
So the difference that matters is not the length but where the curve begins. The cone starts at 5,5 centimeters — it has no narrow end. The one who chooses Cone does it because the target is the end diameter of 9 centimeters, and accepts that the entry requires preparation with something else. Drill starts at 3,5 centimeters and is therefore the only one of the two that works as a product in itself from start to finish.
Another difference: Cone is smooth, Drill is segmented. The smooth cone provides a uniform, continuous increase, while the spiral shape creates marked steps. Which one is preferable is a matter of taste, but it is a real functional difference and not a cosmetic one. If the goal is the largest possible diameter, Cone wins with 9 versus 7,5 centimeters. If the goal is to be able to work your way forward gradually, Drill wins.
Extreme Anal Serpent XXXL 45 cm is item 16881 with EAN 8713221835727. It is 45 centimeters long — eleven centimeters more than Drill — but the insertable diameter is given as 3,5 centimeters, i.e. the same as Drill’s aller narrowest point. The weight is 0,61 kilos and the list price is 35,99 euro, nine euro less than Drill.
So the two products solve different tasks despite being next to each other in the same series and the same catalog. Serpent is exclusively about depth, Drill about a progressive circumference. Comparing them by length is misleading: 45 versus 34 centimeters tells you nothing about which one is the larger product, because Serpent never gets wider than 3,5 centimeters, while Drill more than doubles that figure.
One thing worth noting in this context is that the brand owner treats both of them the same in the documentation — none of them has a published insertable length, none has a hardness specification, and none has a phthalate declaration. The basis is therefore equally thin across the entire series, which points to it being a policy by the brand rather than an oversight on a single item.
XR Brands Master Series Giant Ribbed Anal Cone, item number AF608, is the most relevant comparison outside the brand. It is stated to have an insertable length of 10,25 inches, i.e. 26,0 centimeters, and a diameter that grows from 1,25 to 3,5 inches — 3,2 to 8,9 centimeters. The color is black, and the list price is 73,44 dollar.
The measurements are therefore very close to Hidden Desire’s model: XR Brands starts slightly narrower (3.2 versus 3.5 centimeters) and ends clearly thicker (8.9 versus 7.5), and it also publishes the insertable length that Hidden Desire omits. The shape is also comparable, since XR Brands’ product is ridged as well.
The crucial difference is the material declaration. XR Brands states “Non-phthalate PVC” outright in the specification. Hidden Desire states “PVC”. It’s the same material family, but only one manufacturer makes that commitment. The price also differs greatly: the list price of 73.44 dollars versus 44.99 euro places the XR Brands model in a different price category, and the Swedish street price for the Hidden Desire model at 259 SEK makes the difference even bigger. The one who prioritizes a documented material declaration pays for it; the one who prioritizes price gets a product with the same measurements but thinner material.
Five Swedish stores sell the item with EAN 8713221835673. Cheapest are Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet at 259 SEK each; most expensive is Vuxenkul at 479 SEK. The difference is 220 SEK, which is 85 percent when calculated from the lowest price—for the same barcode, same black variant, and the same polybag.
The spread has a clear explanation in this case, and it’s unusual. Both Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet list 449 SEK as the regular price and 259 SEK as the reduced price, meaning a 42 percent discount. Vuxen is at exactly 449 SEK. That means 449 SEK is the normal Swedish price level for the item, that two stores are currently running clearance sales, and that Vuxenkul’s 479 SEK is 30 SEK above the normal level. So the discount is real and not an inflated reference price.
The stock situation is at least as important as the price spread. Three of the five stores had the product in stock at the price check: Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet at 259 SEK each, as well as Vuxen at 449 SEK. So the difference between the cheapest available and the second-most expensive available is 190 SEK. Both Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet state “In-stock, 1–2 days’ delivery” on their pages, and Vuxen states delivery within 1–2 days with free shipping from 799 SEK—a threshold that a single product in this price range doesn’t reach.
Two of the stores give conflicting information about stock status, and it’s worth presenting since it affects how the table above should be read.
Sexonic is listed as sold out in the store’s own product feed, but at the same time the store’s product page stated 138 units in stock and a price of 36.44 euros, discounted from 44.99. So the store page and the feed contradict each other. The price in the table above, 402.79 SEK, comes from the feed and is the figure that the store itself reports—but anyone interested in that particular store should check directly on the page, since the discounted euro amount is below the feed price.
Vuxenkul is also listed as sold out in the feed, while the store’s product page shows stock status by physical store: available in the store at Stigs Center but not at Backaplan. So it’s more a question of which warehouse is counted than whether the item exists or not. Vuxenkul is also the only one of the five stores that publishes the three separate diameters 3.5, 6.5, and 7.5 centimeters instead of a min and max value, which makes their product page the most informative of the Swedish ones—even though it’s the most expensive.
The prices in the table are updated when the stores’ product feeds are updated, but always check the final price at checkout. Shipping costs are added at all the stores in this price range, and shipping of a few tens quickly eats up part of the difference between the two stores that are 259 SEK apart.
It’s for you if you’re experienced with anal toys in the more hardcore class and specifically want a product that grows progressively from a manageable tip to a 7.5-centimeter diameter. It’s for you if you prefer a segmented, ribbed structure over a smooth cone, and if you want a wide, steady base that means the product can be used in more positions than lying down. It’s also for you if you want this size class at the lowest possible price—259 SEK for an 830-gram product is cheap no matter how you calculate it, and there is no battery that can break.
It’s not for you if you’re a beginner. The 3.5-centimeter entry is indeed the mildest in the series, but the product is designed to work its way up to 7.5 centimeters, and the base is dimensioned accordingly. It’s not for you if you require a documented phthalate-free material declaration, because the manufacturer doesn’t provide one. It’s not for you if you want to be able to sterilize your products by boiling—that rules out PVC. And it’s not for you if you want a manufacturer’s warranty, because the terms include nothing.
One last thing belongs in the decision. This product is extremely specific in what it does, and it is not a supplement to anything else. 34 centimeters and 830 grams is not something you have lying around in your toiletry bag, and there is no middle path in use — either this diameter works for you or it doesn’t. If you’re unsure, the cheaper route to find out is to start with a smaller model, and the 26-centimeter-long cone in the same series, or a regular plug, is a more sensible first step than ordering this one on a gamble.
The manufacturer provides no warranty. Hidden Desires’ purchase terms include neither a warranty period nor a warranty commitment — what is covered is complaints about defects at delivery, and in that case visible defects must be reported within 48 hours and hidden defects within two months from when they are discovered. If a complaint is assessed as justified, the manufacturer’s responsibility is expressly limited to replacing the item.
What always applies, on the other hand, are your statutory rights, and in this case they are significantly stronger than what the manufacturer promises. Under konsumentköplagen, you have a three-year right to make a complaint for defects in the goods, regardless of what the manufacturer writes in its terms and regardless of which of the five stores you shop at. This right is directed at the store you bought from, not the manufacturer, and it cannot be waived by agreement.
For distance purchases, a right of withdrawal also applies 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. The manufacturer’s own terms are clear on that point — products with a broken hygiene seal cannot be returned — and since the item is delivered in a polybag, the packaging is opened as soon as the product arrives. The right to make a complaint for actual defects, however, always applies, even to an opened product. If you have questions about what applies in your case, Konsumentverket guides you via Hallå konsument.
