Okay, maybe you all can help me out. I’m looking for a specific toy shop, I think it’s a maker like Squarepeg, that does platinum silicone toys and somewhat novelty/fantasy dildos. I’m shopping around for a couple different things and over a year ago I found this mystery place and a few things caught my eye, but now I can’t remember the name.
But even if I can’t find the specific shop whose name eludes me, I’ll take recommendations on places to look for a nice platinum silicone dildo. Bonus points if you can recommend a nice flexible double ended one.
This is my wife’s favorite anal dildo. It’s 1 3/4” diameter gives her a nice stretch. We use this when I can’t last long enough to give her a second anal orgasm. My cum makes an excellent lube.
What’s the difference between platinum silicone and just regular old silicone? I know my plug is in platinum, but I honestly am not sure what it means.
Platinum silicone is considered the safest material for insertion. Lesser silicones tend to absorb bacteria and the least expensive silicones can leach chemicals into the body. Here’s some info from Square Peg on platinum silicone but I’ll try to find others.
I found it interesting that medical grade silicone is not as suitable for toys because it doesn’t have the give or flexibility that platinum offers. Having spent my career in risk management, my first priority is safety when it comes to what I buy for my wife’s ass. It deserves the very best.
If it a square peg toy – as you said – it would be shown on this page if it is still available from them. This page shows ALL their toy designs:
Could it be their “Slink” that you are remembering? I have their biggest / longest Slink – it is awesome but takes some very serious commitment. I have bought directly from them and was very satisfied.
Since you did not describe the specific toy, I am not sure how to proceed if it is not from SquarePegToys.

Another thought is that there is a British company that does mostly “novelty” silicone toys with “fantastic” shapes, like monsters, or tentacles, etc., in really crazy colors. However, in the last couple of years they when through a lot of internal problems in their organization and personnel. Thus they went “dark” for a while. But they seem to be back now under new ownership, etc. Thus it could be them – since you had trouble remembering / finding them. HOWEVER, THEIR NAME ESCAPES ME AT THIS MOMENT. (I will try to remember it.)

A big operator in that category is Sinnovator. I have bought directly from them and was very satisfied. Their customer service was highly responsive when I had a couple questions and also when I reported an error on their website.

This is another one in that category, but I have not bought from them:

Lastly, focusing more on the gay market, there is Crackstuffers. For some reason it is really hard to find their site unless I remember their name – Google AI was no help. I finally found it using the prompt “depth trainer sex toys made in the uk”.
A CAUTION about their products. Some are silicone and some are not. Assuming you want silicone (as I would), be sure to read their product labeling carefully. They are one of the only (that I can find) makers of really long depth trainers (70 cm or 27.5 inches). They are good EXCEPT the two halves of their moulds leave edges on either side – I complained/inquired about that quality problem, but got no reply. I had to remove that excess material with a Dremel-type tool. Very annoying, but the end result was excellent.
Oooh! I don’t know that it was any of them, but a quick browse of their stuff looks promising!
Oh, I’m 100% thinking about the Slink, but that wasn’t the toy that brought this query to mind. That said, I’m sorta wondering if it shouldn’t use it as the beginner toy for taking double… it’s certainly small enough… and I want to do depth play anyway…
