Ryder - butt plug by Tantus - review by SydVicious

I got more recommendations for Ryder than any other other toy ever. It seems that pretty much anyone who had tried it loved it. I was not let down. Ryder is an amazingly comfortable plug.

Ryder is a bulb shaped plug with a flat base. The silicone used to make this plug is smooth and soft, slightly squishy, yet still firm enough to be inserted easily. I just love the look and feel of this plug. The Silicone is just beautiful. My plug is purple, like a metallic deep purple marble.

The rounded tip of Ryder is wide, almost as wide as the rest of the plug. So, there is no gradual insertion. Some may require warm up with other toys before being able to insert Ryder. Due to the super smooth silicone, very little lube is required. The first time I used this toy I think I used too much lube. It went in easily and stayed in pretty well. But, I was also using a dual stimulation vibe at the time and while climaxing Ryder pushed itself out somewhat. I have not had that happen to me since that first time, as I have been a little more conscious of how much lube I am using.

Ryder is 4 1/4 inches in total length, a 3 3/4 inch insertable length and 4 3/4 inches in circumference at it's widest point, The 'neck' of the plug is just under an inch long and 7/8 inches wide. and the base is a rectangular shape that fit nicely between the cheeks.

The filling shape of this plug, paired with the slightly squishy texture and that comfortable base make Ryder and easy plug to wear. You can wear it easily for long periods of time. Really the only things that Ryder can't do is work as a thrusting toy. The short neck does not allow for much movement once the plug is in place.

Ryder comes in a clear box with the plug suspended in a pull out tray. The plug seems to kind of float in the middle of the box with product information written all around the toy.

This ultra premium silicone toy is very easy to care for. Wash with antibacterial soap or toy cleaner and rinse with warm water. You can also boil, bleach or toss it in the dishwasher to sanitize.

Water based lubes are compatible with this plug. Please remember that silicone toys do not play well with silicone lubes.

I wanted to love Ryder. I originally wrote my review having only used the toy a few times and I didn't have too many problems, but I noticed that during climax I had a hard time keeping Ryder from slipping and sort of pushing it's self out. Really, the trouble wasn't only during climax but anytime I clenched my muscles firmly. I think the issue was that the silicone is so smooth and squishy, that once it was lubed up, it just slides around too easily. There is also the fact that the "neck" isn't as drastically different in size as my other anal toys.

I also had a near horrifying insident that landed Ryder in the garbage can. While using the toy, during sex, my partner noticed the base began to fold up, pulling the toy inward. Luckily he was able to grab it in time, but the base is just too soft and easily bendable to protect against being sucked into the body. Now, after I had this incident, I came to look up a few reviews and found another reviewer that had similar issues with this toy. I must add a disclaimer, this is the largest anal toy I own, and I am still a bit of a novice when it comes to anal play, so it's not an issue of me using larger toys, and now having trouble using this smaller toy. I think there are just a few flaws in this toy, that make it unsafe.
