A-bomb review by Tantus

The A-Bomb is a curvaceous, sensual-looking, and big toy made of solid silicone. When I pulled it out of the nondescript USPS-issue mailer, it was definitely the big part that impressed me first – at 5-1/2” long, with a 2-1/2” bulge tapering to a 1-1/2” neck on my sample, the size of this toy jumps out at you like a flashing neon sign.

Once I moved beyond the “oh my, that's big” phase, I began to notice the other details of the A-Bomb, such as the sensuality of the design and the good engineering.

The base is a slightly squished oval, similar to the excellent base used in the Ryder plug, and nestles comfortably betwixt the cheeks during use.

It's built to last (it won't tear off during use or allow the plug to be lost in the rectum), and sturdy enough to make it easy to insert and remove the plug.

There are no sharp edges or seams to drag or be difficult to clean anywhere on the plug, and the body is nicely tapered for comfort. It's also nice that its phthalates free “just in case.”

Since it's silicone, remember to keep it away from silicone lubes. For anal use, you might want to look at an oil-based non-desensitizing lube (provided that you won't be having anal sex with latex condoms later) so you won't have any problems with lube drying out.

A toy of this size needs to be worked up to, so I grabbed another of my plugs (I recommend the Big Flirt for almost any warm-up), and then it was time for the main event. I greased up the A-Bomb, relaxed the sphincters, and gave it a shove. Then, I balanced it on the floor and gave it a squat.

No go yet, but based on the amount of fluid that's leaking out of my penis as I ride the bit that is inside me, I'm pretty sure that the A-Bomb will be quite stimulating once it gets inside.

I tried again the next day, but still no joy. After a third try, I regret to say that I have been bested by this big hunk of red silicone. My eyes were bigger than my butt, and I am unable to get the A-Bomb inside me --yet. I can tell that it's possible, but it will be a long road.

The A-Bomb is teaching me the virtue of persistence. I think I can, and someday I will; but not just now (slow and steady wins the race and prevents injury).

Even though I'm not able to fully use the A-Bomb yet, I'm giving it 4 stars. It's a quality product, with excellent design and workmanship. Though small is often beautiful, there may be times when you want something big. The A-Bomb is an excellent choice for “something big.”

It took me many tries, but I sit here typing this with the A-bomb deep inside me. Getting the last bit in was a voyage of discovery to a place I thought I knew well already, but now know much better.

Insertion requires a lot of patience, as the A-bomb is so large that you will probably notice portions of your anatomy that you may not have pondered earlier. I had never given much thought to my internal sphincter before, but it seemed to take an eternity of wiggling and pushing to get that last gate open enough to let the bulge through - even after I had gotten it past the external sphincter.

All throughout the insertion my penis oozed fluid as the moving plug stimulated my internal organs and then, with a final push - both in (with my hands) and out (with my butt) – the A-bomb was inside. It took me 45 minutes to fully insert the red beast (not counting warm-up with other toys), but it was definitely worth it.

I discovered that the large sex toy experience is quite different from the small toy experience. The A-bomb is so big that you don't have the internal movement that you get with smaller plugs, so the primary sensation is one of fullness and consistent pressure. Once the A-bomb was in it was quite comfortable, and you don't need to worry about it coming out when you don't want it to.

I'm going keep the A-bomb for special occasions. It takes a lot of time and work to get it in, and the insertion doesn't seem to mix well with partner sex. On the other hand, it's a very good large butt plug and the sensations are different from my other sex toys, so I will be using it again.

Tips to get the A-bomb in:

• Lube- lots of thick, long-lasting lube.
• Warm up – should go without saying. Use something mid-sized first.
• Push out like you're using the toilet – it helps to relax the sphincters and helps keep the toy on-track. It also “pushes out” the anus so the lube doesn't wipe off as much.
• Push in until you feel like you're at your limit and then back off a bit to wait, rather than pausing while you're stretched to the max.
• Inward pressure plus “wiggling” is a much better approach than just trying to shove it in.
• Be careful removing it. It's just as big coming out as it was going in, and if you aren't careful it can come out too fast and hurt.
