Does a novelty door stop actually hold a door? This one is built to. It is a wedge of silicone that slides under the door, and the underside is covered in small nubs that grip the floor so it stays put. It works for holding a door open or keeping it shut. At 0.8 inches high it suits ordinary gaps under interior doors. A very large gap or a heavy self-closing door may be more than it can manage. The distributor labels it for novelty use only.
Big Balls Door Stop: a joke that does a job
The Big Balls Door Stop is a gag gift from Big Ballers that also works as a door stop. It is molded in the shape of a shiny, stretched-out scrotum that looks as if it is caught under the door. It is made of phthalate-free silicone in a light skin tone and measures 3.9 by 2.3 by 0.8 inches. Nubs across the base keep it from sliding.
Best for: For housewarmings, bachelor and bachelorette parties, roommates and anyone with a bedroom or playroom door that needs to stay where it is put. It is a small joke gift that people will actually keep using after the laugh has passed.

How to use
Open or close the door to where you want it. Slide the thin edge of the door stop under the door with the nubbed side facing down, and push until it is snug. To release it, pull the door back slightly and lift the stop away. It grips most reliably on a clean, dry floor.
Care
- Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap when it gets dusty.
- Dry it before putting it back on the floor so the nubs grip.
- Keep it away from sharp edges that could cut the silicone.
- For novelty use only, as the distributor states.

Frequently asked questions
How big is it?
It measures 3.9 by 2.3 by 0.8 inches. That is small enough to keep in a drawer and tall enough for the gap under a typical interior door. Check your own door gap if it is unusually large.
Will it slide on a smooth floor?
The base is covered in nubs designed to grip so it does not slip out of place. Grip is strongest on a clean, dry surface. Dust or water under it will reduce the hold.
Is this a sex toy?
No. It is a novelty door stop and the distributor marks it for novelty use only. It is made of phthalate-free silicone, but it is not designed for use on the body.
