I read a 'how to choose dildos' page on Blowfish.com that suggested you try a variety of veggies to find out what size you are inside before you invest your cash in toys. Hubby and I thought this was a great idea and prompty visited Tesco and had huge fun giggling in the veg aisle. If I remember rightly, the courgette was a good starter, the cucumber was great, the aubergine was a bit ambitious but I got there in the end once I'd warmed up and the butternut squash was well beyond me!
As for anal toys, it had to be a parsnip. They have that built-in flared base.
But before I was married I used to have a favourite church-type candle that I'd whittled the end of into a nice comfy shape to slip in. Actually, it was a great size and very enjoyable. Nice and cool and hard and pretty long. Hmm. Wonder where it's got to?
Lord, I just remembered! I did have a dreadful experience once - I tried using a banana. Peeled it first. One good orgasmic squeeze and it snapped in half, leaving a large chunk stuck inside me. I was terrified I'd have to go to A&E to have it removed but it popped out when I went for a pee. Phew! Moral of this tale? Don't peel the banana. Or use a condom.
