Tantus Cowboy v. Sexy Spades Large. Which would be better to help me take the A-bomb?

Contributor: Entropy Entropy 12/25/2011

I'm trying to take the A-Bomb (advertised diameter of 2.25", which I think is inaccurate), but can't quite get a good enough stretch. I'm using Tantus Ringo now as my large warm-up toy, and it only takes me up to Severin Large. The Cowboy has graduated diameters that I believe could help me to get the full stretch that I need, but it has the added challenge of length in order to reach that stretch, which could be seen as a buying point. Sexy Spades Large has a smaller diameter, but at 2 and 3/8 inches and the unyielding nature of glass, it might be the better choice. I can't decide!

Of the three you're talking about, I only have the Cowboy. My gut instinct is that the added challenge of length will slow down your serious girth training, unless you're already a little bit used to length. But, I can't really say for sure, I'm kind of a tenderfoot.

I guess, if you're looking for a "warm-up" tool, to use in-session to work your way up to the A-bomb, I would go with the SS Large. If you're wanting a "training tool" to get you up to those girths over the long haul, then try the Cowboy.

That's just going on instinct, though. If you don't get a response from ToyTimeTim here, go leave a link on his wall, because he has both of the toys you're curious about.

Best of luck! Keep us posted! Also, I know lots of people use the Triple Ripple Royale as an A-bomb warmup, but since that's rubber I guess I'd try to look elsewhere like you are.

I have the Cowboy, Sexy Spades Large, A-Bomb and Ringo, and I find that the Sexy Spades large isn't necessarily a good toy to use to "work up to" A-Bomb. While the size is similar, the "rate of stretch" is faster and, more importantly, the maximum stretch area is very small. In other words, I find it easier to take the Sexy Spades Large, but using it doesn't help me put in the A-Bomb any more than Ringo (and Ringo is easier to use for a slow stretch).

Cowboy is a great dildo, and one that I can almost always depend on to give me a prostate/anal orgasm, but you have to take almost the entire toy to get to the point where the diameter of the Cowboy is equivalent to the diameter of A-Bomb.

Usually when I'm using the A-Bomb I'll start out with the Ringo and then just go slow with the A-Bomb - in and out, in and hold, wiggle, twist - and just take as much time as it takes (sometimes 20-40 minutes).

If you want to get one of the above toys, I do really like my Cowboy - you'll probably like it too even if you don't wind up using it for warm-up. It's bumps are great against the prostate and through the anus.

Smooth glass, well lubed is probably the best for what YOU are thinking about. We are into anal play, big time, but only with smaller toys...or body parts. Just don't want to stretch like that. Don't find it comfortable. Good luck to you...and whatever you do, play it SLOW and SAFE.

Thanks for the great info! Several times I've used the "pop-up" thermometer technique with Ringo, then worked on the bomb for a little over and hour and just gave up in frustration. I bought the bomb about a year ago knowing that it might have to stay one of those "some day" toys for a while, if not forever.

Another thing that I didn't come out and say directly:

When you get the Sexy Spades Large in, your anus is only stretched around the 1-1/4" diameter neck, and during insertion your anus is only stretched to the maximum 2-3/8" diameter for a very brief time (and it's very hard to hold the Sexy Spades in that position for any length of time, as your butt tends to grab it and pop it in place).

What would be ideal would be a cone of about 6" length of soft silicone, about 2" in diameter at the tip and widening to 3" in diameter at the base, with an anal-safe flange on it. Unfortunately this sort of toy doesn't seem to exist.

For what it's worth I developed a method of using the Sexy Spades or other large glass plug to open up for further play.

(1) insert the Sexy Spades. Make sure both it and your anus are well lubricated. Take as long as it takes, wiggle, etc.

(2) let your anus/rectum get used to it and enjoy the feel of the plug. Get your other toy ready and lubed and in a handy location.

(3) get in a relaxed position (I did lying on my back, legs up against the wall). Gently pull on the base so the body of the plug is pressing against the inside of the anus. This will trigger the defecation reflex, the anus will start to relax and the rectum will start to push the plug out. Wait as long as it takes for your body to get the plug out on its own.

(4) Repeat until you can thrust the plug in and out fairly easily. Then move on to your other toy.

Even though it's looking like the Sexy Spades might be better for your immediate purpose, I still highly recommend the Cowboy. What a feeling.

I have seen the A-bomb next to the Ringo which are listed as approximately the same diameter and it is clear that they are not. The A-bomb does look like it is just the next step up from the Ringo. Have you tried spending more time with the Ringo in? I find that it is tight at first and that I really wouldn't be ready to move up in size. However, if I wait a good while with the Ringo in place my ass will very gradually relax.

I use the A-Bomb almost every day and it only takes me a minute or two to insert after a little warmup. Below I listed how I got there.

Classic Butt Plug Royal or Super Big End, if you prefer. Get used to this one and start using Sexy Spades Large or Sasha Grey Large alternatively.

Then, when you have no problem inserting the toys above, go for the A-Bomb but take your time with it. The first time I inserted it I had to really press hard to get it in. See my Review.

I use organic coconut oil with the A-Bomb and have no issues with it degrading the toy. It works way better than water based lube with this toy. I couldn't get the A-Bomb in with water based lube, it kept getting stuck.

The cowboy has a lot of unnecessary length if your just gonna use it to stretch to the A-Bomb.
