This toy was definitely designed
It's true, this
ribbed butt plug is very attractive to look at. The concentrated circles of pink translucent ribbed rubber is very aesthetically pleasing. The flared bottom also provides a kind of safety skirt for it. The handle as well, a little pink ringlet which you can loop around your finger. It's all very well designed to be pleasing to the eye and be pleasing to the touch and it's very effective in that way.
It's also very effective as a toy. I did not find it to be too long, but it is pretty fat near the base. It took me a little getting use to before I really enjoyed it. I find the material to be the perfect stiffness as it is not a pliable, flexible rubber and doesn't bend easily. The ribbing is very effective and was not intimidating, but provided a more stimulating experience than a smooth plug.
The vibration is just as strong as I would want it to be, but I have seen that some people thought it was weak, so maybe I just prefer a weaker vibration. But I thought it was pretty average vibration compared to other toys that I have. I noticed it vibrates most violently at the tip and much less near the base. The vibration is adjustable, but I felt that there wasn't a lot of range offered there. I also found the vibration to bit a bit loud, definitely for use in private.
I felt that this toy while easy to clean due to it's hard, smooth rubber, was also difficult to clean because of the ribbed cracks, which run pretty deep. I recommend washing it thoroughly and being sure to clean under each ribbed section.
Also, I had one other complaint and that is the flared end. This little skirt around the bottom is nice for all the obvious reasons but when I received mine out of the package it was warped and never sprung back into place. Also, after a month or two in my drawer it melted. I small section of it began to melt and I had to cut it off. This bewilders me because I kept it in a cool place and not with any liquids, or oils. I've never had that problems with other toys.
That flared base looks pretty flimsy, like it could easily be sucked up into a butt (especially if it's thin enough to be melting away). Also, because it's rubber-porous- sharing isn't recommended.
How are the vibrations adjusted?
