Pure plug medium - butt plug by Njoy - review by ToyGeek

The Njoy Pure Plug Medium is a stainless steel plug meant for internal anal stimulation, which makes it a fun toy for any bipedal hominid over the age of consent for their species, regardless of sex, gender, or orientation.

While the hard material may give pause to the anal play beginner, those who have ventured into that territory before will find that the shape makes it easy to use, comfortable, and safe, both for play time and extended wear.

It is theoretically possible to also use the pure plug vaginally for g-spot stimulation, but only for women with relatively shallowly placed g-spots, as the neck is simply not long enough for deep exploration. If multitasking is a requirement for justifying your toy purchases, remember that the pure plug is a pound of solid stainless steel of an excellent shape for bludgeoning nighttime intruders, and you don't need a permit to keep one stashed in your nightstand.

Stainless steel is a safe and pleasurable sex toy material that's smooth to the touch, firm, and heavy. It excels at temperature play, as it holds temperatures for even longer than glass. Best of all, stainless steel is good for your peace of mind, as it contains no harmful chemicals, is non-porous, and can easily be sterilized.

Beginners should take extra care with firm materials, as forcing a toy without adequate warmup or lubrication, or otherwise thrusting too vigorously, can lead to bruising, but it's not too difficult to remember to be gentle when aiming a pound of stainless steel at one's delicate nether regions.

The Njoy Pure Plug is a fantastic shape that makes insertion easy even despite the hard material. The medium is the perfect size to give the toy some heft, and feel filling in use, without being too intimidating. Advanced users fond of searching out the next big thing -- in the most literal sense -- will want to go straight for the large, but the average user will probably find the medium fulfilling, especially for use during vaginal sex.

The safety handle on the Pure Plug feels very secure without feeling the slightest bit intrusive, and it's very comfortable for extended wear. The business end aims nicely at the g-spot through the posterior vaginal wall, and while it won't necessarily reach the magic spot to provide firm stimulation itself, it does help press a dildo onto the right track.

Between the shape of the tip and the angle of the head, I found this plug to be easier to insert than any other plug I've tried. It slid straight into place with the lightest of pressure, and stayed put until it was removed.

Refrain from using coarse cleaning utensils such as steel wool, or abrasive cleaners which may damage the finish on the stainless steel. Otherwise, there's very little you can do to damage an Njoy product. They can be boiled for sanitation, washed in mild antibacterial soap and water, run through the top rack of the dishwasher, or simply cleaned with toy cleaner.

Storage is simple, either with the original box, which is well worth saving, or in a small padded toy bag. Any padding or separating needed will be more for the sake of your other toys than for the sake of the Pure Plug. It'll survive falling into a nice soft nest of expensive glass dildos without a worry in the world, but your expensive glass dildos will not respond positively to having a pound of stainless steel drop into their midst.

As for lubrication, you should never engage in anal play without it. The anus is not self lubricating like the vagina. Stainless steel works well with any lube, be it water based, silicone, or oil. Your only concern should be for the safety of anything you might be inserting immediately after removing the plug, so if the Pure Plug is your warmup to anal sex, be sure your lube choice is safe for your condom. For extended wear, it should be remembered that while stainless steel won't soak up any lube, your body will absorb water based or oil based lubricants, so you'll need to refresh those every few hours. On the other hand, the human body has little interest in silicone, so those lubes will last longer.

Njoy reigns supreme in the highly competitive field of sex toy gift boxes. They use such a heavy cardboard that it's easily mistaken for wood, and line the inside with pink satin. I've received expensive jewelry that came in less impressive packages. While this makes Njoy toys a romantic choice for gift giving between lovers, care should still be taken to not open them at family gift exchanges. That is, unless you're really keen to learn what old Uncle Wilber gets up to down at the senior center after bingo when he recognizes the purpose of your old toy and pounces on the perfect opportunity to shock your most uptight cousin.

As for storage, Njoy boxes are well worth keeping. They'll keep the toy from getting scratched and they take up an appropriate amount of room for their contents, as the boxes are sized to match the product.

It's interesting to note that anal plugs do provide some health benefits. While nasty urban myths like to claim that sinful anal sex is the surest path to adult diapers, that couldn't be further from the truth. Regular use of anal toys can actually strengthen the muscles, and even encourage regularity. An interesting note of trivia -- butt plugs were originally medical devices, sold by prescription only. Of course, so were leeches, once upon a time, but I find it fairly telling of our society's issues that butt plugs only came to be considered unhealthy after someone figured out they were fun.
