The Hard Rammer review

Fourteen inches of PVC that reviewers say balances flexibility with control — and then promptly warn you about. The material is porous, several report it degrading quickly, and the ease subscore sits well below category. If you want something this size, there are silicone options that will actually last.

One reviewer loves the size and the balance it strikes: flexible enough to work with your body, sturdy enough that you always know where it is, and a grip large enough to keep control when things get intense. That's the appeal of a toy this substantial — when it works, it really works.

The trouble is what it's made of. Reviewers consistently report that the material degrades fast — sticky after a few uses, oily, sometimes outright melting in storage. One person pulled it out after two uses to find it had turned into a mess. Another says they've had several Doc Johnson toys do the same thing, and they're not alone. The durability theme runs through 20% of the discussion, and it's rarely positive.

The material is marketed as Ultraskyn, which is a TPE blend — porous, and it will harbour bacteria no matter how carefully you clean it. Reviewers who know that accept the trade-off; several say outright that they know it's not body-safe and use it anyway. That's a choice you can make, but it needs to be an informed one.

The size is real — 14.3 inches insertable — and the one thing almost everyone agrees on is that it delivers on that front. The ease subscore is low, which makes sense: this is a lot of toy, and if the material starts breaking down early, it becomes harder to use safely. If you're after something this ambitious, you want it to hold up.

Honestly, we'd suggest looking elsewhere. If you want a toy this size and you're willing to accept a porous material, this will do the job — but only for a short while, and you'll need to replace it sooner than you'd like. Keep it to one person, use a fresh condom every time, and budget for buying another one when it starts to degrade.

If you want something that will actually last, look for a silicone toy in the same size range. You'll pay more upfront, but you won't be replacing it six months later, and you can clean it properly. The ease subscore here is low enough that beginners should absolutely skip this one — there are gentler ways to work up to serious size.

PVC is porous, which means it cannot be sterilised. Keep it to one person, use a condom every time, and replace it as soon as the surface starts to feel tacky or look oily — which, going by what reviewers report, may be sooner than you'd hope. Wash it with warm water and mild soap, let it dry completely, and store it somewhere cool and dry, away from other toys. PVC can react with other materials, and several people report it degrading in storage even when unused.

This sits in the huge anal toys category, where the average insertable length is over 12 inches and the appeal is size itself. If that's what you're after, the full ranking is on the best huge anal toys page — and it includes options that won't melt in your drawer.

So should you actually buy it?

Is Doc Johnson's 'Ultraskyn' material body-safe?
No. Reviewers who know the material say it's a TPE blend, which is porous and will harbour bacteria. One puts it plainly: "Ultraskyn is just another name for TPE. You are correct that TPE does not contain toxic materials but is porous." It's not about toxicity — it's about what you cannot clean out of it.

Are Doc Johnson toys durable?
Not according to the people using them. Several report toys becoming oily or sticky after only a few uses, and one says theirs melted in storage after two sessions. "Pulled my Doc Johnson Realistics Ultraskyn dildo out of my toy bag last night to find that it was oily and melting. Only got two uses out of it before that happened."

What materials should I look for in Doc Johnson toys?
If you're buying from this brand, stick to silicone. Reviewers say to avoid PVC, jelly, TPE, TPR, or anything marketed as 'Sil-a-Gel'. The silicone range gets better reports, though even then, some say the firmness is uncomfortable.

The size is real, the grip works, and one person genuinely loves it. But the material is porous, the durability reports are poor, and the ease subscore is low. If you want something this ambitious, get it in silicone — you'll use it longer and clean it properly. This one asks you to accept too many compromises for what it costs.

Available from several retailers at around $79.95. We don't stock it — the material and durability reports don't meet the standard we hold our own range to.
