Blush UR3 anal starter - probe discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by Midway through

This toy was a free assignment that I didn't pick out. I was semi-excited about it because I thought hey, easy beginner toy for me!

I'm not sure if they named it Blush because the tip is pink or because that's the name of the perfume they doused the material in.

I opened the package and the smell was all I noticed. It came in a clear packaging with a small card information insert. Let's talk about the smell and the material since that's pretty much the only thing you notice when you first open this package.

Material/Smell:
It smells like someone was buying flowers and mistakenly fell into a pot of sugar on the way home. I personally don't like my toys to smell. As mum always told me, if it smells like flowers, it's a lie to cover up something. What's worse is your skin absorbs the smell after touching it. Also, it's oily? Or at least on my skin it feels like I dipped my hand in cooking oil. So when I touch it, I smell like sugar dipped flower and I feel like I played in the cooking oil. That aside, the material is some sort of jelly that looks like it was already deteriorating before I even opened the package. If you hold the penis by the base, it flops over. It's like a limp penis... Let's be honest, I was scared to put that thing inside of me. So I used a condom, and I suggest you do the same. It will preserve the toy's material and composition and keep that funky smelly oil from getting on you.

Function, usage, sizing:
This toy is said to be for anal play. It is supposed to be a great starter if you've never done anal play. Now, I’ve not done anal play, but neither by myself nor have I ever used it on me. I couldn't get the thing to stop flopping around and finally gave up fighting it. It was like trying to get a guy who was flaccid to put his penis in. It’s just not happening without a fight.
I will say however, that the sizing is smaller than it appears on the website, and therefore if you don't think you can handle something thick, or the size of a normal penis, this is great for you. It's an inch in diameter. I ended up trying it for use in the vagina and found that it would actually go in relatively easy there. It is not very big though so there isn't much stimulation.

Shape, etc:
It is shaped like an actual penis. It even has veins on it. It is clear except for the tip which is a pinkish purple. It's about 5 inches long (because the last bit of it is a big base so that you can't get it stuck too far in and not be able to retrieve it).

Clean-up:
I voted for using a condom because of the material (read above to find my reasoning); therefore, cleaning up is as simple as pulling the condom off and washing with warm soap and water. However, do not vigorously scrub this material, because it will peel and "chip" away. What I mean is that because of how soft it is, it will tear small pieces out of the product. If you're brave enough to put this in you without a condom, I would recommend some sort of special toy cleaner, because I'm not 100% certain that it won't start to smell funny.

Overall, I'd say if you're an absolute beginner and you have patience and condoms, this is going to be a good idea for you because it's soft and floppy, so it won't hurt you. If you've ever done anal play before, look for something better. I don't think this toy will last long, and it definitely will not be one of my favorites. I have a feeling the material won't let it be a long lived toy at all. It's as I said earlier, I basically feel like I'm trying to have sex with a sugar dipped floppy flower penis.

The pink coloring faded, which means it DOES and CAN get into your skin. Ew, also it's less oily but still smelly. Garbage please. I finally had enough lube and patience for the anal sex, to get it in... but it was hard to actually fuck with it because if it came out, I had to redo the process of getting it in. Um, no. This toy sucks, let's face it.
