Recommended for open bore options
The SSND-THING 12mm-22mm is the largest tier in the THING line, with an asymmetrical oblong cross-section — flattened and taller rather than round — that creates a distinct, shifting stretch as it moves. Available across 12 diameters from 12mm to 22mm.
Details
- Entry tip: ~4mm, stepping to full diameter within 8–12mm
- Texture: 6 underside bumps, 2 raised top nodules
- Retention valley: scales from 8.4mm to 15.4mm, sized to each diameter

How it works
The ~4mm tip steps up to full diameter within about 8–12mm, then the oblong shape (taller than it is wide) exerts focused pressure against the top and bottom of the canal rather than evenly around it. The six underside bumps and two top nodules add texture along the way, and each size's retention valley scales proportionally, letting the muscle hold the piece securely ahead of the flared base.
Choosing your silicone firmness
Bob recommends #10 (Medium) across this oblong, textured design — it keeps the ~4mm tip rigid enough to insert smoothly while the bumps deliver clear, high-definition feedback.
For long-term retention wear in the larger 18mm–22mm sizes, #00-50 (Soft) is also worth considering — it compresses slightly on insertion and exerts a gentle, continuous outward stretch.
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
Smaller sizes (12mm–15mm) suit intermediate users stepping up from standard rods; 16mm–22mm sizes are for advanced users.
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.
