Classic butt plug royal - butt plug discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by MrsHouseWife

This toy has been in my toy box for a while, only coming out on really kinky occasions when my husband and I play. It's not that I don't love toy, cause I do, its just that until recently I haven't been able to take all of it. Getting over the last hump, has taken time and practice, not to mention a whole lot of enjoyment on both mine and my husband's part, more on that later.

Here are some details about the toy.......

This plug comes in your "standard" packaging; transparent clamshell molded plastic case, with a simple card insert with logo, instructions and barcode.

I love the colour, it helps me relax a bit, knowing it will hide any residue and "what not". It also has a nice smooth texture which is great for anal toys, but can stick a little if you don't use enough lube. As with 90% of toys it's cold when you first start, I found though just massaging the toy between your hands before applying, creates enough warmth and stops that involuntary muscle clenching. As I have sometimes found with anal toys, when the material is too hard in can cause quite a bit of discomfort, especial if you are using the anal toys during sex, but this one has enough give so it conforms to your shape but no so flaccid it becomes too hard to insert.

We ALWAYS use lube, we use water based on the toy as it is rubber. We also use a A LOT of lube on our toys. I prefer the water based stuff if we are just using it on the "intimate" areas but I love putting oil based lubricate all over the rest of our bodies. Messy fun.

I like the tapered almost spade shape, which means I am not stretched as far as possible right from the start, which means I can really work up to it. My husband and I love to use this to get me excited for anal sex or sometimes using it while my husband goes down on me (my favourite way to use it).

Being rubber (material safety rating of 3) it doesn't clean as well as one might like due to the porous nature of rubber, so if you are using with more then one partner I would suggest (and the manufacture does as well) to use a condom over it while in use. As it is just me using the toy, there is no need, but I do clean it after every use with a toy cleaning spray and a little warm water. Clean after every use, SERIOUSLY! DO NOT DRY it with a cloth as lint from fabric sticks to it and it can be quite hard to get off. So just let it air dry. I keep mine in a satin lined bag to stop it from collecting lint in between uses.

At the toys thickest part, 7 1/2", I did have a little trouble getting it in and as I mentioned we did have to work up to it, going a little further everything. This isn't a "first timer" anal toy but makes a great "next step" after fingers and slimmer toys. Now the toy sits comfortably (and enjoyably) all the way inside my ass. I love the stretch and relief feeling when I get past the base, it creates a rather intense erotic moment, which both my husband and I love (think, mutual breath holding and a large sexual sigh). The flared base, which isn't completey round, is great for trusting (or so my husband says), his hand doesn't get sore or his grip slip. As the shape of the handle is more oval you can twist so the handle sits in line with your ass crack if you intend on using it during sex. It might be a bit big for prolonged use, depending on your experience level, 30 minutes or more, especial if you are having sex at the same time, but it can be used when going from foreplay to sex.

My husband and I are going overseas for a belated honeymoon later in the year and I plan on bringing this toy with me. In the black satin bag I made for this guy, I will happy and safely travel with this in my checked baggage, probably in my toiletries bag. No motor or moving parts mean I don't risk having it turn on mid-flight, going flat while camping or need to much care.

Over all a great anal toy, but not for first time adventurers!

Best position for use (with a partner)
- Doggy, my husband loves to insert it for me and I get to play with my clit while he does

Best position for use (without a partner)
- On my side, I like to lie on my side, allows me to get it in properly before rolling over for fun time

Don't try
- Girl on top, I find the length a little long for this, turns from pleasurable to uncomfortable pretty quite
