We previously covered this in a 2-in-1 review, but after spending more time and working properly with it, my perspective has completely changed for the better. Here is why.
The Experience: From Training to Pleasure
I can honestly say this toy is like a good wine—an acquired taste that gets better over time. In the beginning, it was a struggle; it felt more like a hardcore training session than an actually pleasant experience.

Now, my experience is entirely different. I no longer need an intense, «hardcore» warm-up. My body has adjusted to its circumference, leaving me with that nice, exhausting feeling of a good stretch. You can really feel the progress, even with casual training over the last 6 months (using it maybe four times one month, zero the next, etc.).
I also have to mention that switching to X-Lube was a massive game-changer—it helped way more than any previous lubes I’ve tried.
The Double-Edged Sword: Flexibility
I wouldn’t call these «red flags,» but the exact feature that makes me love this toy is the same one that drains my patience during failed attempts.

The flexibility of the Seahorse is completely necessary when training for width—without it, the tension would be unbearable (it’s not exactly painful, just a serious stretching of your limits).

However, because of this flexibility, it lacks natural stability. You have to hit a very specific angle to make it work. The same bending that saves you from a perforation is what you end up fighting against to keep it straight. Because of this, I’m seriously considering buying the Hankey’s suction cup or their riding saddle just to keep it grounded.
General Thoughts & Maintenance
As I mentioned in older posts about the Seahorse, its ridges are great to help you measure your progress. It might get exasperating at times, but you must remember you are using a plus-size toy compared to normal silicone toys; it requires patience.
On the maintenance side, it’s flawless. It cleans incredibly easily, there are absolutely no weird odors, the material is extremely durable (no fear of breaking the toy), and I’ve had zero safety or injury concerns. Even after six months of use, the silicone hasn’t degraded at all—the toy feels just like the day I received it. I know some users like to throw their silicone toys in the dishwasher, but honestly, washing it by hand with some good hand soap is more than enough to keep it pristine and completely get rid of any odors.
8.5/10 Good product but not perfect
If I had rated this toy on day one, the score would have been much lower out of pure frustration. But at the 6-month mark, the Hankey’s Seahorse gets a solid 8.5/10.
Who is it for? Intermediate to advanced size trainers. If you are an absolute beginner, you can use it, but you will need a massive amount of patience (and premium lube like X-Lube) to get past the «hardcore training» phase.
The Bottom Line: It’s a high-quality, incredibly safe piece of silicone that does exactly what it promises for size progression. The only reason it doesn’t score higher is the lack of base stability—you’ll likely find yourself needing to buy a suction cup or saddle just to keep it from bending during the initial push. But once you master the angle, it’s a fantastic ride.
As I always say, we really hope you liked this post, but it’s even more important to us that you found it useful. Also, a big thanks to Hankey’s Toys for giving us a true sample of what «plus-size» really means. I just wanted to make a proper, objective review this time around—the last one was good, but it was much more about storytelling than technical feedback.
