So users have mentioned how it would be nice to know size of the reviewer to better make a judgement if the onahole would suit them as well.
So we have added additional fields of "Length" and "Girth" for members to input:
Once the user inputs that information and click on display, then all their reviews will also display their size accordingly like this:
We realize that this is very personal information, so it is definitely not required information and you can choose to leave it blank as you please or just uncheck the display box. If you do, however, enter the information, you would be helping a lot of other users reading your reviews.
@**ToyDemon** This is a great idea! I noticed some reviewers taking the time to write their sizes so this will hopefully save them a little extra time.
I don't know if this would be difficult to implement now but the option to input and display if one is circumcised or uncircumcised (or cut and uncut) alongside the sizes would help immensely with the softness quanumdrum! I noticed while buying toys that I would buy a product on the sworn testimony that it had "just the right amount of intensity" and "perfect softness" only to find out later that those reviewing the product had a higher tolerance do to being circumcised.
At the very least, having that important information would help us make a better educated guess when reviews have a mix of contradicting statements.
@PrestigiousFarmer great idea! We should have thought of that too, but that's why it's helpful to get feedback. I will ask that value to be added as well.
@PrestigiousFarmer I'm someone who in my more recent reviews started adding my measurements as well as the fact I am uncircumcised. This will save me time, especially if they take your idea into account with adding an uncircumcised/circumcised field.
What might also help @**ToyDemon** is if the measurements are listed on the review itself somewhere, that way it'd be easier to tell the reviewer's size in one look without having to open a new tab.
@Jonarby if you look at the 2nd picture or go to your own reviews on a product, that info is listed under the reviewer name. You don’t need to open up a new tab.
@PrestigiousFarmer Where does this belief that circumcision affects sensitivity come from? I only have the 1 type of penis, I can't swap it out to compare it with the other type that I do not have. After many centuries, we might expect to have noticed a fertility difference and a more adamant opposition to the procedure. A person could just as well believe that less skin equals more friction and more feeling. Differences in sensitivity might be useful information for deciding to purchase, but the perceived cause is no use whatsoever. Including a category for it would look to me like the perpetuation of mythical baloney.
@Belmar "only to find out later that those reviewing the product had a higher tolerance do to being circumcised". ---And how exactly can someone find that out later?
Whoa, whoa, slow down their buddy. You’re making me feel like I’m some sort of circumcision police trying to superglue guys' penial skin back with by force, or something. I’ll try to answer all your questions as best I can but you got to realize I don’t speak for every uncircumcised individual. There may very well be uncircumcised individuals that have the sensitivity of a steel beam. Just like there might be circumcised individuals who find anything below 9 softness painful. But those are the exceptions, not the majority. I’ll be doing one of those “number/quote what you said” list things that people like to use when explaining in slow detail things. Not trying to rile you up or argue, it’s just my way of making sure I organize and answer all your questions. Oh, and respect for me and the rest of your fellow onahole connoisseurs’ opinions, taste, and all that jazz. I’m sharing very personal information here so respect is always appreciated. Ok? OK. Here we go.
1. Where does this belief that circumcision affects sensitivity come from? Well, several medical research studies and reports. Here’s one for example, though you’ll have to search for it on google yourself since I don’t believe Toy demon allows webpage addresses in the comments. “Circumcision and Sexual Function: Bad Science Reporting Misleads Parents” Shouldn’t be too hard, it’s the first one that pops up.
Now you may very well find other articles and medical research that contradicts this “baloney” but calling it a myth because the studies are contradicting and the results are inconclusive is hardly fair.
2. I only have the 1 type of penis, I can't swap it out to compare it with the other type that I do not have. Exactly! So why are you so sure that uncircumcised individuals are brainwashed or lying about being more sensitive? What do we have to gain? Should I say that people that use glasses are making crap up because I’ve never had bad eyesight? Or that all people with allergies are just making it up because I’ve never been allergic to anything in my life?
Look, growing up (and even now) I remember a few times when my foreskin was pulled back. A number of reasons can cause this and walk around as if I was circumcised, the sensation of my head rubbing against the fabric of my underwear will cause me to get erect. Walking around commando and rubbing against my jeans will give me the hardest hard-on I can get. Heck, I can feel a breeze through the fabric. It can get extremely painful as my head rubs on the hard zipper zig-zags. If I leave the foreskin on as normal, nothing. I assume that is how guys with circumcisions feel the fabric around their Johnsons as there doesn’t seem to be an epidemic of never-ending morning wood everywhere I go. I don’t know, I don’t go around asking circumcised dudes if they are hiding an erection whenever they walk around.
3. After many centuries, we might expect to have noticed a fertility difference and a more adamant opposition to the procedure. I don’t know how having a more sensitive head affects fertility since we of the Y chromosomes do a pretty good job at keeping the fertility up as much as possible just by look at the opposite sex, Ha! As for opposition to the procedure, I’m sure there is, more in the past than the present. But then again, there is always opposition to some law, or opinion, or operation, or religious practices, or the best way to lose weight, or the proper seasoning of a steak. In the end, circumcision not really a big deal anymore. A parent might do it to their child for religious reasons. A country might do to all newborns because it helps with hygiene and is a quick, painless procedure. I’ve never heard of anyone say that one of the most painful experiences was when they were circumcised as a baby. I just happen to be born in a country that didn’t feel the need to do so.
4. A person could just as well believe that less skin equals more friction and more feeling. I mean, there is a lot I could say here but most would be like answer number 2. Foreskin back caused more friction, which in turn caused more feeling, which in turn gave painful erections when not wanting. Over time, with consistent exposure the nerves on your body and skin become accustomed to touch sensations. Hence why putting on contacts becomes easier and easier over time to the point that it because an unnoticeable part of life. I suppose, if I really wanted to, over time I could train and increase my tolerance by forcing myself to walk around with my skin back, but again why? I don’t care, I just wanted more tools to help me find onaholes that I might enjoy.
5. Differences in sensitivity might be useful information for deciding to purchase, but the perceived cause is no use whatsoever. Including a category for it would look to me like the perpetuation of mythical baloney. Hey if it helps some then it helps some. If it irreverent to you then what does it matter. Besides, the way it was explained by the ToyDemon member, it would just show up as circumcised and uncircumcised at the bottom of your account name. Completely optional. No tag or other identification that says something like: “The reviewer is Uncircumsied so they have a lower tolerance for hard and tight onaholes.” Or “Warning: Sensitivity may be affected due to reviewer being circumcised.”
At the end of the day, even ignoring sensitivity and all that jazz, knowing if a certain onahole is clearly painful for uncircumcised individuals is a very welcome addition. I appreciate it when any reviewer mentions that fact. if an uncircumcised individual says on their review that a particular onahole was painful for them because the extreme tightness and jagged edges roughly pulled at their foreskin, and left the bottom Frenulum skin tender and sore (A small cut or tear of your banjo string “Frenulum” is the equivalent of getting a paper cut on your tongue except on your Johnson), then you bet I’m not buying that onahole! Phew. Man, I just realized I could be having fun with one of my girls right now instead of writing stuff. Eh, that’s life for you.
@Belmar "only to find out later that those reviewing the product had a higher tolerance do to being circumcised". ---And how exactly can someone find that out later?
By reading another review by that same reviewer where they mention that they are "cut" or "uncut".
It happened to me more towards the begging of my journey here at Toy Demon, a long long time ago, in the forgotten year of 2020. For one example, I was deciding on which Tomax firmness' to buy a number of toys. I remember buying the Tomax Dolphin on hard due to BillBurn giving it a perfect score. He believed that the hardness was still fairly soft and was a safe start for anyone wanting to take full advantage of the multiple uterus effect. For me though, the dolphin hard was painful. The tightness and hardness between uterus' gave my little guy no leeway causing my foreskin to be pinched and pulled. Imagine someone tugging at your eyelids. Actully do it right now. Pinch and tug at your eyelids in different directions and pretend that sting is around your little guy. It got worse and worse as the lube dried up. I don't blame Billy at all. How is he suppose to take into consideration something that he does not know off. He shouldn't have to and that's OK. After all, even with that painful experience I did learn a lot the "Dolphin Hard" way.
Now fast forward a month later, I was shopping for the Lilith Spiral-Wave and BillBurn mention in his review that he was uncut! It all made sense now! The hard spiral -wave firmness was to much while the normal firmness was perfect for him. He was even kind enough to suggest that an uncut individual, such as I, would perhaps enjoy the soft edition more. That alone was more helpful than all other reviews. I went back to all of his other Tomax reviews and ordered one level softer than his prefered firmness. Best decision of my onahole life.
That's how someone finds that out later. Not every reviewer says if they are circumcised, just like not every reviewer tells us their size, but as you're searching reviews for that onaholes to buy during a sale a pattern may start to show. Keywords to look for if you know what your looking for. Or, to be more exact, what you aren't looking for.
@Jornaby
Don't know how I did it but I managed to past over my thank you message to Jornaby while I was correcting spelling mistakes.
Thank you Jornaby. That information helps. I hope to have more free time in the future to review some if my favorite onahole and maybe help someone of similar taste find a hidden gem or two.
"So why are you so sure that uncircumcised individuals are brainwashed or lying". I expressed no such opinion. I accused no one of lying. I said nothing about any particular individual based of their circumcision status, or about uncircumcised individuals as a group. I did not say which group I belonged to.
Here is an interesting comment from an article about the research referred to. "What the study actually showed was that the average foreskin of a small, non-representative sample of men from Canada, was more sensitive to light touch and mild warmth, and somewhat less sensitive to outright pain, than other parts of the penis." ....I hope my tax dollars did not help pay for that study.
Many people become more sensitive to wearing contacts over time and stop wearing them. An eyeball is not a penis. Attempting the analogy is not useful. I am pretty sure circumcision is not reliable prevention for unwanted erections. (I am pretty sure age might).
I expressed an impersonal opinion using the pretty non-confrontational wording "it would look to me like....". I addressed no one directly as if they were a horse, begged no one to respect me, ordered no one to pull on their eyelids and pretend it was penis foreskin, and have generally made it a practice to wear underwear when not doing so would make me uncomfortable. Semper ubi sub ubi.
Hey ToyDemon? (Man it feels weird talking to the company itself as if it was one single living entity, anyhow.) So I accidentally, completely my fault, clicked Report on Belmar's last comments towards me when I meant to reply.They are both very close together and accidents were bound to happen, haha. Right? Anyways, I'm not sure what consequences clicking on the report button will bring to Belmar so could you please remove that report I gave him. Or in other words: "I PrestigiousFarmer request that the accidental report I gave Belmar be removed from the records or be treated, and noted, as an unintentional miss click by me PrestigiousFarmer. Signed Prestigious Farmer. 2/24/2021" Thank You!
@PrestigiousFarmer Thanks for bringing that up, we'll talk to the devs to add a pop up confirmation to make sure if one wants to report and this shouldn't be an issue anymore.
@Jornaby
(Don't know how it happened but my thank you message to Jornaby was replaced while I wasn't looking.)
Thank you Jornaby. That information helps. I hope to have more free time in the future to review some if my favorite onaholes and maybe help someone of similar taste find a hidden gem or two.
There was a very nice comment here by PrestigiousFarmer that is now replaced by a copy of a comment made at the top of this list of comments. What's up with that?
@Belmar we did notice something was buggy with comments after we did a little bit of updating to comment editing. We already are working on it. Sorry for the trouble.
Buggy comments would also help to explain why my thank you comment to Jonarby was replaced with one of my previous comments. Glad to hear I'm not going crazy.
@Belmar
Circumcision status can affect sensation and how you should interpret a review in a number of ways. There is the instrument and methods used, the "style" of the cut (low or high, loose or tight), there is a small risk for unintended damage to the dorsal nerve root when the local anaesthetic is injected (which could factor in as a cause for very anomalous reviews), individual genetic and behavioral differences influencing glans keratinization, etc. It also affects the biomechanics of the penis (how the skin moves, what stimulates what and how, etc), so some men are going to prefer different canals, texture, and softness combinations on that basis. As such, really just a yes or no on its own isn't necessarily all that helpful in making a choice regardless of whether you're cut or uncut, but it does offer some information trying to parse out cases where reviews are pretty contradictory. One guy says it's the most bland thing ever 0/10 didn't live up to the hype don't waste your money I got one for 10 bucks that did the job 100x better totally overrated wow, one guy says it's okay maybe bad if you want a longer session, one guy says it's the absolute pinnacle of onahole engineering practically bestowed by the gods themselves absolute perfection, one guy says it was downright unusable but doesn't elaborate further, and it's like... what really was the difference. Personally I think it could also be pretty interesting to see if there is any strong correlation between certain attributes, and preference for certain onaholes. These could even coalesce into predictive metrics.
@**ToyDemon** I suppose this will help some in making purchase decisions, but I find enough information that you provide on the descriptions for each item. In fact ToyDemon is the best at this period.
I think an active community giving thoughtful product reviews can make up the difference in filling any gaps. Perhaps encourage more ppl around here to do just that.
But you just one-upped your competitors by creating AND using this forum to TRY to make things better anyways
@winkyblink thanks for the comment. It's a small change, but we want to put the tools at your (users) disposal. If it ends up helping someone from buying something that might be too small for them, then this function will have worked.
We are still going over all the suggestions and while some ideas might cater to a certain individual better, it's not viable for us to work on every suggestion. We are taking everything into consideration and trying to come up with something that will help EVERYONE as much as possible.
Keep the suggestions coming, help others when you can. Keeping this community active and helpful will rely on the community, and that's you guys!
Also thanks for putting your information following this topic. It will definitely help others while reading your reviews!
@**ToyDemon** For me I find the tunnel length to be the single most important piece of information to look for when getting a new sleeve, especially when there are no reviews on it. Next would be the firmness of the inside material along with pictures of the internal design of the onahole.
It's very difficult to grade firmness/softness collectively from the customer unless they pass around the same sleeves to try out and compare notes, and you've tried that in the past; that's where the reviews are a sort of compensation. When trying to describe a firm or soft onahole I'll compare it to a different model or brand and identify that sleeve. But that really doesn't help the newbie much since buying that first onahole will help them figure out what they really want. For newbies the best strategy is to start out with something cheap, compare it to another cheap one or two while comparing reviews to figure out what's best for them.
(Yes I'm putting out some points here to stir up some activity)
@winkyblink You know what is funny is that we have actively asked the manufacturers about the exact dimensions of the product (tunnel width/length included) as they actually need to design and draw up the design of the mold, then create said mold for them to pour in and make the onaholes. So their R&D department should have all these specs available. But the response we get back from them are "we'll do our best" or "sorry, we can't". And it boggles our mind too on why it's so difficult, but what can we do? Doing it ourselves is not going to work as we'll need to open up 1 of everything and waste them, and pre-orders would be hard to do and there are sooooo many new products out all the time.
What we have been doing is trying our best estimate by using the dims given by the manufacturer and the pictures they give us. If there happens to have a cross section picture, then we do an approximation based on the picture. For example, if an onahole is supposed to be 10 inches , and it has a cross section picture, we use the picture and proportionally calculate out that the tunnel length is about 4.5 inches. But if they don't give us any information and we can find it online either, we won't be able to give a number.
You also hit it on the head on the softness/firmness and that's why we decided to not use a scale anymore. I think we have mentioned it already somewhere, but feeling of firm/soft is so subjective when it comes the little guy down there. Once Tomax Rich Soft came out, all the previous "soft" aren't so soft anymore. And what feels soft to you, might be firm to another depending on their size and sensitivity.
So a lot of issues and suggestions that we keep seeing, it's not that we don't want to do it, but it's hard to come up with something that would work well and can stay consistent. But we will keep trying!
@**ToyDemon** ToyDemon is King when it comes to online shopping for these toys. The tunnel estimates are great; nobody should expect you to open the merchandise to get intimate details of the product.
You have the best prices most of the time and multiple savings incentives with great variety (can't blame the restocking issues on you at the present) so I'm sure things will get better for everybody.
I check out the Japanese sites out of curiosity and have to say you're pretty good at picking out what to sale to us; allot of toys are pretty much the same thing with very little difference.
@**ToyDemon** We could help you and other purchasers by measuring and reporting tunnel length and discussing firmness in reviews. Which I intend to do whenever I finally write a review. Maybe tomorrow. I only have 100 more tunnels to measure to meet my new year's resolution......
If you feel like you can't give a softness estimate, you might at least try to explain the weird softness diagram on Toysheart boxes. They have like 273 different "[xx] Skin" materials, and their "Fine Cross" can be anything from somewhat squishy to hard as a truck tire.
@**ToyDemon** Nice idea. Now if you can only ensure that we are actually honest about our measurements. You know most of us are going to embellish at least a little bit.
@slvstk lol we actually thought about this. It is the internet afterall, I am waiting to see who is going to put 99 on there. But I have a feeling reviewers that review a lot are more likely to be honest, because what is the point of them reviewing if they're just going to lie.
Also the picture posted above is for example, please add additional 10" to both of the values for my real size, lol!
Hey ToyDemon? (Man it feels weird talking the company itself like a living entity.)

@PrestigiousFarmer no worries. Reporting is used to just let us know if anything is spamming or really offense or disrespectful so that we can take a look and remove if needed. It doesn’t count anything against the person unless it was an obvious egregious trolling post/comment.
"Girth" is vague. From the example, I believe the word you want is "circumference". Where? At the base? The corona of the glans? The following comments would be more useful to me than circumference: "The back end of this onahole smashed my dick head" or "This thing is uncomfortably tight for my thumb" (probably no need to include fields for thumb size, who would tell the truth?)
The Wikipedia article "human penis size" seems well written and references quite a bit of research. The conclusion of which is that so many people self report incorrectly, many are not aware they do it. So adding a third field for amount of exaggeration would be entertaining only. I don't really recommend the main Wikipedia article "Human penis" - it contains such winning sentences as "The glans of the erect penis has the feel of a raw mushroom". I myself usually cook before comparison. So far, none of the 1 erect dicks I have felt are anything like a shelf mushroom on the side of a tree. Not too many morel members, either.
I want to know the length of the tunnel, I want to see a non promotional cutaway showing the shape of the tunnel, I want to see a video that shows the softness and flexibility of the material. I have made many purchases on TD that I would not have before thought of considering without a one night love story.
@**ToyDemon** it does not give me the option anywhere to put in my size I went to account information I pressed display my purchase info but no option for size anywhere
@**ToyDemon** The length and girth stuff is okay but I don't see the sense in asking the circumcised question. Aren't all guys so to speak circumcised when erect?
Can't see how that makes any difference what so ever. But hey it's your company and if you want to ask that... I think it will be interesting to see just how many actually answer.
@MoodyBlues there is a very good reason guys that are circumcised usually aren't as sensitive and guys that aren't are more sensitive it truely does make a difference and is something many don't think about that
@**ToyDemon** I have had actual bad experiences with certain holes because they just aren't made for me. Even though it sounds like a humble brag, I genuinely appreciate being able to know if I'm actually going to be able to use these before I buy them. Right now I only have basic product dimensions to go off, but the overall size of a toy isn't necessarily the length of the tunnel. So at least this might actually help me make more of an informed decision if people adopt this in their profiles.
One note though is that it took me a bit to find the actual setting for my profile to input the information. You have to go through Community > My Profile instead of what I thought would be in Account > Account Info. Having multiple pages for different aspects of public facing account info is a bit obtuse UX/UI.
@digiornopizza we felt this information is very personal so we didn't want it to put it in the normal account info page, but rather people who are more active in the community and is willing to share. Though I should have stated as such in my OP, I will edit that now.
@digiornopizza same I love it also I've seen your comments around and I'm kind of in the same boat as you there was a toy I was looking at today nd since yoy said it was to tight I actually have decided not to get it since we are very similar in size the only issue with some of these people on here is not many people are honest about there size same as reddit pages and other guys font even know there size but they hear others say 5.5 in girth or something and think that's the normal when it absolutely is not normal I mean 4.59 is normal girth heck even Trojan has on there site guys 5.1 inches in girth should probabaly use there magnums which should tell us alot of guys lie no way everyone on reddit is 5.5 inches in girth that's when you are getting to the size of me and you and can run into issues with woman lol but for real you see people going around ahh I'm average 5.5 inches long and 5.5 inches in girth it's like umm length sure that's average but girth heck no it isn't to put it into perspective for people even being 5 inches in girth is more then 83 percent of men across 15k men in 15 studies combined which says alot since the average was 4.59 inches with a variance of 0.33 under or over just something that people can use for examples and the Trojan thing should really make alot of guys realize they aren't all that size lol but again I like that you are honest how I knew you were is the toys you have said are to tight I've had similar experiences with when I see other guys saying they are 6 inches in girth yet have no issues with said toy I'm like yeah ok buddy thays what makes it hard on who to believe or not but either way this is a great feature to have and can def help others
