A Little About The Company
Primal Hardwere is a unique, sex-positive company hailing from central New Hampshire, with a mission to bring one-of-a-kind products to the adult toy industry. Since their start in January 2013, they’ve focused on creating toys that cater to niche fetishes, offering something truly different for those looking to explore their desires. But it's not just about the products—they’re equally committed to providing a customer experience that’s second to none. Primal Hardwere goes the extra mile to ensure their customers feel valued, taking a playful approach to their branding while maintaining a serious dedication to satisfaction.
One of the things that set Primal Hardwere apart is their commitment to supporting local economies. They domestically source their materials whenever possible, ensuring high-quality products that are crafted with care. This dedication to quality and community, combined with their innovative approach to adult toys, has made them a beloved name among those seeking something a little outside the norm.
Delivery
Unfortunately, because this toy has been part of the collection for quite a while, the owner can’t remember the specifics of the unboxing experience. Over time, packaging details can fade from memory, especially when a toy has become a well-loved part of the rotation. While we can't provide those initial impressions, rest assured that the review itself will focus on the toy's performance and user experience, which are what truly matter.
Measurements
Primal Hardwere’s Widget Inflatable is a solid choice if you're looking for a unique, girth-
focused experience. It’s seven inches long, with about five and a quarter
inches that are fully insertable. The design tapers nicely, starting at four
and three-quarter inches around the head and gradually expanding
to six and a half inches at the knot. The shaft and knot have a subtle
raised vein detailing, giving it a nice texture, while the silicone is soft
and flexible over a firmer core, providing just the right balance of
give and firmness. The toy's base has a flat bottom and is finished
off with a pair of detailed testicles.
What really sets the Widget apart is its inflatable knot. While the toy itself may not be super long, the girth is the main event here. When uninflated, the knot is already a respectable six and a half inches in circumference, but with a few pumps, it expands to an impressive eight and three-quarter inches, delivering an intense experience that’s hard to match.
Materials And Maintenance
All Primal Hardwere Silicone toys are handcrafted using phthalate-free, platinum-cured silicone, ensuring they are free from harmful chemicals, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and irritant-free.
Because Primal Hardware toys are made from one hundred percent silicone, they are entirely waterproof. This ensures versatility, allowing you to enjoy them anywhere, from intimate encounters in the bedroom to indulgent moments in the hot tub.
Maintenance is hassle-free. For thorough cleaning, use a soft-bristled toothbrush with antibacterial soap and warm water. Alternatively, disinfect by boiling the toy for 2-3 minutes, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom. For toys equipped with a lube or squirt tube, you can use the syringe to draw water through the tube for easy cleaning. However, it's important to avoid exposing the syringe or any attached inflation bulbs to boiling water, as the extreme heat could damage these components. Instead, stick to warm water for safe and effective maintenance of these parts.
Always remember to pat your silicone toys dry and utilize water-based lubricants exclusively.
The silicone on the Widget feels super soft and flexible, giving it a really nice squish. But underneath that softness is a firm inner core that helps the toy keep its shape while offering just a little bend where needed. That firmness is key, not just for structure, but also to protect the internal parts that control the inflation and cum tube features. So while it moves with you a bit, the toy stays in place and holds up to whatever you throw at it without losing its functionality.
Color Customization
Primal Hardwere offers a custom pour service that includes a variety of color options to personalize your toy. The available options are:
-
Shaft Color: Allowing you to choose any of the twenty-four options
-
Base Color (balls): For an additional $10usd you can choose a second color from the twenty-four options for the base of your Primal Hardwere toy.
-
Metallic Additive: For an additional $5usd you can add a glitter additive to the silicone choosing any of the eight color options. (Be sure to specify in the notes if you want the glitter added to the shaft, base, or both)
-
Glow Additive : For an additional $5usd you can choose from four glow options to add to your Primal Hardwere toy. (Be sure to specify in the notes if you want the glow added to the shaft, base, or both)
Customization
Primal Hardwere offers a unique level of customization, allowing you to tailor your experience by selecting the specific features you want in your toy. On the Widget those features are:
Cum Tube
For an additional $20usd, Primal Hardwere offers the option to enhance your toy with a "Squirt Tube," allowing you to mimic the sensation of the toy ejaculating inside you. This feature is designed to elevate your experience by adding a more lifelike element to your play. Simply fill the included 60ml syringe with your favorite warmed water-based lubricant, and the squirt tube will release the fluid at your leasure, creating an incredibly realistic and pleasurable sensation. This option not only intensifies the experience but also adds a unique layer of excitement, making your playtime even more immersive and satisfying.
Inflatable Knot
For an additional $35usd, Primal Hardwere offers the option to install an inflation mechanism into the knot of your toy. This feature allows you to customize the size of the knot at your discretion, giving you control over the intensity and timing of your experience. With the squeeze bulb and adjustable valve, you can create unique rhythms and patterns, inflating the knot gradually or in pulses for a more dynamic sensation. This option adds a whole new dimension to your play, opening up endless possibilities for exploration and pleasure. Whether you prefer a slow, building intensity or sudden bursts of pressure, the inflation mechanism enhances your experience by letting you tailor the sensations exactly to your liking.
It's important to carefully read the instructions for your inflatable knot, as each size and model in Primal Hardwere's inflation line has its own maximum pump limit. For the Widget, the maximum is set at THREE PUMPS. Exceeding this limit could compromise the integrity of the toy, so always follow the guidelines to ensure both your safety and the longevity of your product.
Testing and Performance
Insertion: 10/10
The Widget’s tip is super soft, which makes it feel really smooth but can be a bit slippery at first. Thankfully, the firmer
core inside keeps things on track once you get it in place. After that, the Widget slides in easily, as long as you're
stretched and ready for it. The soft head still gives a satisfying stretch, starting at four and three-quarter inches in
diameter, and gradually getting bigger. It's a nice balance between a gentle touch and a good stretch.
Comfort: 10/10
For its size and design, the Widget is one of the most comfortable toys I’ve used. Its length is just right for hitting all
the important spots—especially the prostate—without being too much. The soft silicone molds to your body, so it feels natural. The firmer core adds just enough structure to make sure it applies pressure exactly where you need it, without taking away from the overall comfort. It gives the perfect mix of softness and stability.
Knot: 10/10
Taking the knot was surprisingly easy and incredibly satisfying. At rest, the soft silicone allows the knot to compress close to the core, making it deceptively easy to take in. But once you start inflating it with the pump, the knot swells, and your body has to readjust with each pump. This wasn’t uncomfortable at all—quite the opposite—it added an exciting layer to the experience. My partner had fun controlling the inflation, using the valve on the stem to create pulsing rhythms that left me squirming in pleasure.
After a few pumps, the knot effectively locked in place, giving me the sensation of being "tied." This gave me an overwhelming feeling of fullness that I hadn’t experienced with any other toy. If you're into stretching or want to explore it, this feature alone is a game-changer. The inflation process creates gradual increases in size, while the release valve lets you adjust the pressure for a dynamic and thrilling experience. And while the knot can "lock" you on the toy, it’s still possible—and
incredibly enjoyable—to pop it in and out with some effort.
Cum Tube: 10/10
This is the feature that brought this whole experience together and turned me into a drooling shacking mess.
For testing, my partner and I warmed up some liquid Astroglide (after a mix-up with our usual gel formula),
which turned out to be perfect for this toy. We warmed the lubricant to about 40°C and filled the 60ml syringe.
When my partner finished having her fun with the inflation, she gradually closed the release valve while pumping the knot, building up anticipation. Then, she closed it fully and gave a couple of firm squeezes on the inflation bulb while injecting the lube in three satisfying blasts.
The sensation of the warm liquid filling me, while the knot kept everything sealed inside, was like nothing I’d ever felt before. The fullness, pressure, and heat combined into an intense rush that left me breathless. When I instinctively tried to get off the toy, one of the tubes had snagged on the chair I was using causing the knot to pop out quickly, spilling the warm lube down my leg. The shock of sensations from the sudden release, combined with the mess of warm liquid, triggered a full-body orgasm that dropped me to my knees. It was an overwhelming and unforgettable experience that left me begging for more.
Final Thoughts
The Primal Hardwere Widget really caught me off guard in the best way possible. The soft silicone exterior makes for an easy, comfortable insertion, but the firm inner core gives just the right amount of stability and pressure where it counts. The knot is the real game-changer here. At its normal size, it slides in easily, but once you start inflating it, the gradual stretch is both exciting and intense. The ability to adjust the inflation as you go makes it feel custom to your body, and honestly, it was one of the most satisfying sensations I've experienced.
But what really took things to another level was the cum tube. Paired with the inflation, the warm lube injection gave me a feeling of fullness that was completely overwhelming—in a good way. The knot locked everything in place, and the pressure was unreal. I didn’t expect it to be as intense as it was, but it left me shaking in the best possible way. If you’re curious about inflatable toys or just want to try something new, the Widget is an absolute must. It’s hands down one of the most unique and enjoyable toys I’ve ever tried.
That all being said I give the Primal Hardwere Widget a perfect 10/10, and I highly recommend it for those into stretching an knotted toys.
