This billy club of a dildo is great for those who require a thicker, firmer dildo. She's great for vaginal and anal use. When using her anally, make sure you have a secure grip on the handle. The base of the handle is flared, so it won't be lost during anal endeavors. The handle makes it great to be used with a partner, or great for solo use. The matte finish creates quite a bit of drag, so be prepared to use a lot of thick, water-based lube. She's great to take into the bath or shower, into bed, or onto the floor. You name it, she's down to play.

If you're not looking for a dildo to play with, but an authority stick, look no more. Annie's got your back.

Annie is made of 100% scentless, tasteless silicone. It rates a 10 on the Eden Safety Scale. It is non-porous, non-toxic, phthalates-free, and hypoallergenic. Lovin' it! The silicone is the firmest I've ever felt. If I try, with both hands, very hard, I can somewhat bend the insertable end of Annie. She's most flexible where the insertable end meets the handle. It makes it a lot easier to use, as it takes pressure off the hand, and allows for multiple positions.

If you were to look up "matte finish" in the dictionary, there would be a picture of Annie. That being said, you are going to need a lot of water-based lube. The matte feeling doesn't irritate me when I'm using her vaginally, but anally, I have to be careful or else I'll be left feeling raw. Lesson learned: more water-based lube.

DO NOT USE SILICONE OR OIL-BASED LUBE! IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR TOY! NO BUENO! If you're hell bent on using silicone or oil-based lubes, be sure to spot test in an area that is not insertable.

Annie's look is thrillingly intimidating. The design is more function than realism. Don't get me wrong, there is a smooth head, and deep ridges underneath. There are even raised veins that run along the shaft. I mean, there's a handle at the base. The last time I checked, penises don't have handles.

When I first saw Annie, the handle is what drew me in. Since my toy play is usually solo, Annie's handle had me drooling. The matte finish continues from the dildo and throughout the handle portion. This makes it great for handling, especially if you get lube on your hands during use. The matte finish allows you to maintain your grip.

Annie does bend, but only a little, where the insertable length meets the handle. It works really well for positioning. The base of the handle has some suction to it. Not much, but just enough to help her stand on a smooth surface. Annie weighs nearly one pound, and you can really feel it when you smack your hand with her. She's more for intermediate/advanced toy players who are after girth and rigidity. With both hands, and some elbow grease, you can bend the insertable portion, but there's no give when you give her a squeeze. When it comes to Annie, what you see is what you get.

Annie's measurements:
Overall length - 11 1/4"
Insertable length - 7"
Diameter - 1 3/4"
Head circumference - 5 3/4"
Lower shaft circumference - 5 3/8"
Handle length - 4 1/4"













Here's the Goddess Handle (pink) and Echo Handle (purple), with Annie.

When I first played with Annie, I was blown away by her unrelenting girth. I haven't been able to use Annie for a G-spot orgasm, but rather for X-spot orgasms (cervical orgasm), with short thrusts. I found those to be most easily achieved when in the standing position. Anally, I found that I needed to be extremely warmed up. To warm up for Annie, I use the Sexy Spades Medium. She felt amazing, but needed a lot of lube. The first time I used her, I ended up with a chafed bum hole. Lesson learned? Reapply, reapply.

As I stated before, my toy play is primarily solo play, so I'm the one who uses the handle. Since the handle flexes, it allows me to enjoy Annie standing, laying, or on all fours, all without struggling to hold on to the dildo. I've found holding onto the base of other dildos while changing positions can be rather difficult. With Annie, I haven't had those issues. The matte finish allows me to hold on if lube gets on my hand, rather than having to search for a towel or wipe.

Annie does warm up nicely in the shower or bath. She can be a little cold at first otherwise. The smooth head works great as a lubricated tease for external pleasure. I've even used the matte finish on the shaft for a clitoral orgasm. She's a lady of many uses.

When it comes to cleaning Annie, I use toy cleaner or gentle soap and a gentle tooth brush. The ridges under the head can hold body fluids, so be mindful of that. When it comes to sterilizing Annie, I get the biggest stock pot I own and boil her for 3-5 minutes. There are other ways to sterilize, such as cleaning her with a 10% bleach solution, or running her in the dishwasher without any soap.

I store Annie in a small plastic storage bin. If you don't mind opening and closing the tricky Tantus packaging, it can be used for storage. Annie's length can be make her difficult to store, so keep that in mind when you're about to toss her packaging out.

Annie comes in Tantus' standard plastic packaging. The box it comes in is long, as she's a long girl. She's held securely by a plastic clamshell. The packaging is not discreet, and Annie would probably scare unwelcome snoops. The back has Tantus' mission statement, and tells of how awesome silicone really is. I found the packaging to be cumbersome, so I chucked it in with the recycling.
