SSND-The Rod 6mm 4"-12"
Recommended for open bore options
The Rod 6mm is a smooth, straight-shaft sound with a uniform 6mm (18 Fr) diameter from tip to base — our slimmest rod, with a bore option available for fluid drainage. Available in five lengths from 4" to 12".
Details
- Shaft diameter: 6 mm (18 Fr) — uniform full length
- Available lengths: 4", 6", 8", 10", 12"
- Base: Wide integrated safety flange
How it works
The smooth, rounded tip minimizes resistance on entry, then the shaft holds its 6mm diameter all the way to the base flange for linear, predictable expansion with no unexpected pressure points.
Length guide
- 4"–6": target the penile urethra — a starter-to-intermediate depth
- 8"–12": reach the prostatic urethra and bladder area — intermediate-to-advanced depth
Choosing your silicone firmness
Bob recommends #10 (Medium) — it gives the slim 6mm profile structural integrity for easier insertion without bowing.
Color options
#18 and #30 are available in pure translucent.
#00-20, #00-50, and #10 base colors are translucent white and can be mixed with any standard color.
Please note
This falls in our beginner tier at 6mm diameter, though the longer lengths (8"–12") call for more experience given their depth.
Use appropriate lubrication and never force insertion. Stop immediately if you experience pain, bleeding, or significant discomfort. Inspect the sound before each use and do not use it if damaged.
