Anal Challenge From John Thomas Toys

Written by  Nov 14, 2023

The traffic cone look alike that will stretch your abilities

John Thomas Toys (JTT) designs and manufactures a wide range of dildos and stretchers. All are made with good-quality silicone. With such a wide choice, I cannot say no when they ask if I would like to review their latest designs.

JTT asked if they could send me several designs simultaneously. I did not know what they would send, but with the good quality and variety, I looked forward to seeing what would arrive.

"The soft firmness rating I was sent provided enough give for me to squeeze it as it passed my ring. This made it more comfortable for me to use."

Luckily, I knew I would only have a short wait before several large, heavy boxes would be delivered to my door.

I was sent information about the contents once the boxes arrived. I only found out what was in each box when I opened it. This is the review for the Anal Challenge. So grab a drink and let me tell you all about it.

Delivery & Packaging

Once I was told the boxes had been dispatched, I did not have long to wait before the delivery person was at my door. I did feel sorry for the delivery driver, though. With several boxes, each containing all four sizes of each design. The heaviest box was the one containing this set of four Anal Challenges.

Poor Stunt Cock had fun moving the box for the Anal Challenge, and he jokingly called the box the hallway challenge as it took up so much room before I was ready to do my unboxing video.

The box containing the Anal Challenge was very discreet. The plain, robust cardboard box only had the shipping label. The label did not even show the website's name, but I was happy to see it was very securely sealed.

On opening the box on camera, I found it had the usual brown packing paper to hold everything securely in place during its journey to me. Under the paper were all four sizes of the Anal Challenge.

Each Anal Challenge was wrapped in clear heat-sealed plastic. I like this minimal packaging, as it means much less waste to go to landfill. There were several stickers on each film cover. One to remind you to wash (the toy) before use, one with the firmness rating and lastly, the JTT logo.

I was delighted to find all four sizes of Anal Challenge but I must admit the large and xl look rather intimidating.

Included inside was a JTT logo carrier bag with four storage bags inside. I also received four vac-u-lock compatible suction cup holders.

Materials and design

The Anal Challenge is made with platinum cure silicone. Silicone is a fantastic material for insertable dildos. It is body-safe, non-porous, PVC, Latex and phthalate-free. The blend used by JTT is really nice, with just the right amount of drag to hold lube in place well.

JTT are proud of their designs, and to ensure that every feature the designer made is captured in every dildo, they use copper moulds. This is a more expensive method than that used by most other manufacturers, but the results speak for themselves.

Anal Challenge is a simple, clean cone-shaped stretcher featuring a narrow tip and rings down the shaft. The rings are to help you measure your progress and also add an excellent sensation as they pop inside.

The Anal Challenger widens quickly but the tip is easy to insert.

The silicone blend is silky smooth to the touch. The narrow tip will make insertion very easy. The cone's width enlarges as you go down the shaft. So the base is a much larger width compared to the tip.

Near the base is the JTT logo and the John Thomas Toys name on the opposite side. There is a vac-u-lock compatible hole in the base.

I also received a black faux velvet storage bag. These bags are made from a strong, well-stitched fabric with a drawstring closure. On one side of the bag is the JTT logo and name printed in white. The bag is large enough to fit the toy inside safely, together with the vac-u-lock compatible suction cup holder.

JTT also sends a free vac-u-lock compatible suction cup holder with every compatible dildo or stretcher. The suction cup is manufactured by JTT.

The included suction cup adaptor is easy to fit and does a good job of holding the stretcher upright on a smooth surface.

You get a lifetime guarantee with dildos and plugs that you buy from John Thomas Toys, giving you peace of mind.

There are four sizes to choose from in addition to four different colour options. I was sent the soft version of Anal Challenge but it is also available in a medium silicone firmness for those who enjoy less squish.

Performance

This is the section where I pass on the review to sub 'r'. The tip of the Anal Challenge is thin enough for even newbies into anal fun. As sub 'r' is happy to play anally, she is going to tell you about her time playing with (sorry, I meant thoroughly reviewing) the Anal Challenge.

Image showing the nicely rounded tipHi, sub 'r' here. I will write this next part of the review for the performance of the Anal Challenge. I enjoy anal play, so I had no problems when asked to take one for the team ;-).

Usually, when playing anally, I need to gradually stretch myself to be able to get a butt plug inside. The beauty of Anal Challenge is the thin tip.

The thin tip made insertion very easy. I first spread some water-based lube along the top section of the Anal Challenge. My Master decided it would be best to tie me up and help me explore how much of the Anal Challenge I could take.

Once I was secured in position, Master took the lubed-up Anal Challenge and lined it up with my exposed hole. Gently inserting the narrow tip, it slid inside relatively easily. The tip of the small size is thinner than my little finger. The smooth silicone glides wonderfully inside my back passage.

Master then pushed two inches of the tip inside me, then held it in position. Whilst holding it still inside me, he treated me to the pleasure of flicking my clit. As soon as I was squirming and Master could see my pussy lips start to engorge and glisten, he pushed some more inside me.

As Master pushed the Anal Challenge in deeper, I could feel each ring as they went past my ring. I could really feel the stretch the deeper it was pushed inside me.

The soft firmness rating I was sent provided enough give for me to squeeze it as it passed my ring. This made it more comfortable for me to use.

As soon as I had reached my limit, Master held the Anal Challenge still inside me. Master then turned on my Hitachi wand, and after pouring some lube onto my clit he started to rub it against my clit.

I was soon squirming and panting on the Anal Challenge, and it was not long before I was pulsing in orgasm.

After more play sessions with Master and the Anal Challenge, I am proud to say that I managed to take just under half of the length.

The Anal Challenger is very flexible and that helps you as you take more and more.

Cleaning is easy; the smooth sides make it very easy to wash. The fact that you can wash it in the sink or place it in the dishwasher gives you some great options. Master instructed me to wash mine in warm water with anti-bacterial soap.

I like to dry mine carefully with some kitchen roll. I do this by gently patting it dry. I leave the Anal Challenge on its side to ensure it is completely dry. As soon as it is dry, I place it into the storage bag provided.

The base's weight and size, especially of the larger sizes, mean that it stands up well on its own. This is a great feature, especially if you like to squat or sit on the stretcher.

You can use the included vac-u-lock compatible suction cup adaptor to hold it in place. But, due to its flexibility, I wouldn't recommend it for strap-on play or for use with a fucking machine. The medium firmness may be a better option for that style of play, though.

Final Thoughts

Anal Challenge is a good stretcher for beginners. Or for those who want to stretch from smaller butt plugs.

Easy to use and clean. Anal Challenge is a simple but effective anal stretcher. The tapered tip makes initial insertion easy.

The sublime widening girth leads to rewarding stretching and depth play sessions. If you are looking for a simple depth play stretcher, then Anal Challenge definitely fits the bill. Check out the other colour options on the John Thomas Toys website.

As I always stress, though, always thoroughly check out the dimensions shown on the JTT website; these are big toys, but all the information is clearly displayed there.

I was sent these four Anal Challenge toys by John Thomas Toys and I would like to thank them for giving me the opportunity to review them.
