Pleasure plug 2 - anal toy by Happy Valley - review by MissAstarte

This toy is a great addition/addiction for those who have begun to delve into anal play and are ready to move up to the next level. The plug is smooth, doesn't have any painful seams, and is just the right size.

As with basically any anal toy, you'll need a good, non-silicone (!!) lubricant in order to ensure safe and comfortable insertion and removal.

The plug is made of "pure platinum silicone" for safe use. I adore silicone for anal toys because the semi-squishy texture works with your body to create a comfortable experience. No poky or sharp bits here! The plug is perfectly smooth!

There is a slight odor to the plug, but it isn't noticeable unless you have it close to your face.

The Number 2 is a slightly larger size than the Number 1 model. For this reason, I would suggest this particular plug for those who have already experimented with anal penetration. It's better to start off very small and work your way up!

The look of the toy is pretty standard. There's nothing too unique about it, but it's pleasant to look at and feels pleasurable when inserted.

One thing to mention with this (that I've learned from experience) is that you may not want to insert the plug until the base is directly in contact with the anus. In other words, depending on your preference, you might not want not to push it in as far as it will go. I did this the first time using the plug, and was very bothered by the feeling of the base between my cheeks. If you do find this a problem, insert the plug until its largest part is comfortably in the anus, but leave the flared base with enough room to protrude outside of your butt. This will ensure that your experience is comfortable and not annoying.

To be fair, there isn't anything completely unique about this plug. It's pretty standard size and shape, and a fairly reasonable price point. This is a toy that's good for expanding ones toy repertoire, and is a good staple for anyone interested in anal play.

I, personally, loved the feeling of the plug inserted during vaginal intercourse with my partner. The pressure of the plug was enough to tighten my muscles to give me a feeling of fullness, while making me squeeze tighter around his penis. It's something I'd suggest to anyone even slightly interested in anal (However, be aware that the plug may slip out, from what I've read through Tristan Taormino's blog this is normal and to be expected).

As this is a silicone toy, do not use silicone lubes with it! A thick water-based lube will work well.

Clean-up is fairly easy. You can either use soap and water or a toy cleaner (again, make sure there is no silicone!), or you can put it in the dishwasher or even boil it for a few minutes to ensure it's sterile.

The plug stands up on its own, so it's easy to store for later use.

The packaging is fairly bland, just a plastic box with a window showing the product. It's good for storage, but will not hide the contents from roommates or other prying eyes.

In conclusion, I adore this plug. It's a good plug for those who are delving into the wonderful world of anal!

My first experience with the Pleasure Plug was shortened by my own stupidity and nearly ended with me not wanting to try it again. Knowing that I'd only used anal toys twice before this, my partner and I felt that it would be better if I inserted it and go at my own pace.

Of course, rather than slowly and gently work my way up, I popped it inside in one fell swoop after coating it in lube. My boyfriend blinked and said, rather stunned, "Wow, you took that like a champ."

The problem here was that I had done it much too quickly. I hadn't listened to my body and was beginning to feel the consequences. I'd pushed the plug in as far as it would go, and the base was starting to irritate me. Not only that, but I began to feel sick. My body was not happy that I'd shoved this thing inside me without consulting it first.

I had to remove the plug, and was nearly terrified of it after.

Not one to be beaten by a three inch piece of silicone, I was determined to try again, but decided to let my partner (who is more experienced than I in such matters) insert it. Unlike me, he took his time in inserting it into my anus, which proved to be an incredibly glorious experience. After this, I became hooked on the plug!
