Ardor is a dragon dildo cast in platinum-cured silicone, with an extreme-length tapered shaft you take inch by inch and a horned orb at the base that anchors it. Insertable length runs from 32.8 cm (12.9 in) in S to 57.7 cm (22.7 in) in XL, and at the widest point of the shaft it is 4.8 cm (1.9 in) across in S and 8.4 cm (3.3 in) in XL.
The First Edition is open for pre-order, and nothing has been cast yet. Every number below comes from the digital model. Part of writing this up is being straight about which of those numbers we settled and which ones the first cast still has to confirm.
What a dragon dildo this long has to get right
Length is the headline, and it is the least interesting decision. Making a shape long is easy. The real question is what happens along all that length after the tip, and on Ardor the answer is the taper.
The pre-order page puts it in one line we still stand behind: "the taper sets the pace, so the depth is something you ease into rather than a stretch you fight." Width arrives gradually. There is no single point on the shaft where everything gets decided at once, so you go as far as feels right and stop there. In fantasy dildo design the animal gives us a starting point, and the decisions that matter are about where width arrives. Why we start from a creature at all, rather than copying anatomy, is its own post.
The other two parts do supporting work. The page describes the surface as "sculpted scale detail you can feel under your fingers," and the base ends in the orb that anchors the piece. On something this long we would rank the anchor above anything on the surface. How to approach that much length, where the bend is, and when to stop are all in our depth guide, and none of it changes because the shape is a dragon.
Yes, it's long. The S alone is 37.5 cm (14.8 in) from tip to base.
The numbers we set in the model
Here is the full table as it appears on the pre-order page. Diameter and circumference are taken at the widest point of the shaft. Weight is estimated from the model's volume, not weighed.
| Size | Diameter | Insertable length | Total length | Circumference | Weight (estimated) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 4.8 cm / 1.9 in | 32.8 cm / 12.9 in | 37.5 cm / 14.8 in | 15.1 cm / 5.9 in | about 763 g / 1.7 lb |
| M | 6.1 cm / 2.4 in | 42 cm / 16.5 in | 47.4 cm / 18.7 in | 19.2 cm / 7.6 in | about 1539 g / 3.4 lb |
| L | 7.2 cm / 2.8 in | 49.5 cm / 19.5 in | 56.2 cm / 22.1 in | 22.6 cm / 8.9 in | about 2551 g / 5.6 lb |
| XL | 8.4 cm / 3.3 in | 57.7 cm / 22.7 in | 65.7 cm / 25.9 in | 26.4 cm / 10.4 in | about 4077 g / 9 lb |
Read it side to side and one pattern stands out. XL is 1.75 times S across (8.4 against 4.8 cm) and 1.76 times S in insertable length (57.7 against 32.8 cm). M and L sit on the same line. Width and length grow at the same rate, so a bigger Ardor is the same taper made bigger, not a longer shaft on the same width. The estimated weights agree: XL comes out at about 5.3 times S, which is what you get when a shape grows 1.75 times in every direction.
On paper the XL weighs about 4 kg, a little more than a full gallon jug of water. On paper. Nobody has lifted one.
We publish model numbers before anything exists for a plain reason. You are charged when you order, so you need the sizes when you order, and a model figure with a label on it is more use to you than a rounder number with no label. The label is the part we care about.
A tangent about units, since someone always asks: the XL is listed at 4077 g and 9 lb, and 4077 g is really 8.99 lb. The pound column rounds. The gram column is the one to read, as far as an estimate can be read. For the rest of the range, which is already cast, the size guide explains how we measure.
What the first cast still has to confirm
Everything in that table. The pre-order page says it directly: these figures come from the digital model and will be confirmed on the first cast.
The mold is being made now, and First Edition pieces come from the first casting run. That run is where the model meets silicone, and the first time anyone holds an Ardor instead of looking at one. The images on this page come from the model for the same reason.
The shipping estimate is not set. The incubation card says "To be announced," and that is the true state of it, so we are not going to guess a number of weeks here.
If the project is cancelled or cannot be produced, every pre-order is refunded in full. That line is on the card too.
We did think about waiting for the cast, photographing it, measuring it, and only then opening orders. It would have been tidier.
Why the First Edition is 10 pieces, charged at order
Ardor came through our incubation page, where support costs nothing: an email, counted once per project. That count is a ranking signal. It tells us where design time should go next, and it does not commit anyone to buy anything. When we checked on 5 October, 21 people had registered support for Ardor and 3 had pre-ordered. Supporters asked for it, and the mold is now being made.
Support is free on purpose. The decision to cut a mold is ours, and so is the risk if it goes wrong. A paid gate would have handed that risk to the people who were interested, at a point when all they could look at was a model.
The First Edition itself is a normal order with a later ship date. You pay the full price at checkout, and it ships once production is complete.
Ten pieces, across all four sizes combined, fixed before opening and not topped up. Ardor is the first project through this process, and we have no history yet of how support turns into orders, so we picked a count we know we can deliver. Each First Edition piece is individually numbered, comes in a colorway that will never be produced again, and is priced below the regular edition. The numbered card only goes on a finished piece that passes.
On 5 October the card read 7 of 10 left. Once the ten are gone, the design moves to the regular collection, so Ardor does not disappear. If you would rather wait for the regular edition, or start with one of the tapered dildos we already make, that is a perfectly good choice.
Questions we get
How long is the Ardor dragon dildo?
Insertable length is 32.8 cm (12.9 in) in S, 42 cm (16.5 in) in M, 49.5 cm (19.5 in) in L and 57.7 cm (22.7 in) in XL. Total length runs from 37.5 cm (14.8 in) to 65.7 cm (25.9 in). These are model figures, to be confirmed on the first cast.
When does a First Edition pre-order ship?
Once production is complete. The shipping estimate is still to be announced. You are charged when you order, not when it ships.
What happens if Ardor can't be produced?
Every pre-order is refunded in full if the project is cancelled or cannot be produced.
What is the difference between the First Edition and the regular edition?
The First Edition is 10 pieces across all sizes, each individually numbered, in a colorway that will not be made again, at a price below the regular edition. After those ten, Ardor moves to the regular collection in its regular colorway. Both are shown on the Ardor pre-order page.
