Ryder - butt plug by Tantus - review by Isabel0329

I've had a touch and go history with butt plugs. So many have interested me and subsequently let me down. Not until I took a risk and bought Tantus's Ryder plug did I find what could quite possibly be the perfect plug.

There's just something about Tantus's products. Could it be the 100% medical grade silicone they use that is extremely body safe? Perhaps. Could it be the pretty colors all their products come in? Likely. Is it the well thought out design and excellent overall quality? Definitely!

Let's start with that silicone I mentioned. It's firm, yet comfortable once inside you. You will definitely feel this plug. But at the same time it's not too firm and unyielding. What I like about silicone additionally is that you can fully sanitize it. Given that this toy goes up your butt, that's a great thing! Tantus's silicone is boilable, bleachable and comes clean beautifully. You don't have to worry about it absorbing odors or discoloring for whatever reason.

I've used this plug with a variety of lubes. My go-to lube is Wet Original water-based and generally you should use only water-based lubes with silicone toys so you don't degrade the material by using silicone-based lubes. Silicone lubes will melt the surface and turn it tacky in no time. Having something of that consistency in you butt is definitely not sexy. *shudders* I wouldn't even want to imagine that inside me. I've tested this plug with new hybrid part silicone, part water-based lubricants though, specifically Wet Synergy. I haven't had a problem yet, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. To be on the safe side, I suggest water-based lubricants.

When using anal toys you should always use an anal toy that has a flared base. This will prevent unfortunate mishaps where your anal sphincter contracts to the point that whatever toy you're using gets sucked or pulled inside your butt. Let's avoid embarrassing trips to the emergency room if at all possible, people.

Ryder has a suitable flared base that will prevent such mishaps and also sits nicely between your butt cheeks. It's narrow enough to be comfortable, yet wide enough to be safe for extended anal play. I've worn this plug upwards of six hours and have yet to have a problem with it. The neck is narrow and the anal sphincter closes perfectly around it. Some plugs have a wide neck and almost force you to keep your sphincter unclenched whenever you're using it. Plugs like that make me nervous, especially being someone who laughs a lot. One hard laugh and plugs with wider necks may fly out of you! Ryder definitely won't fly out. It stays securely where you put it and only comes out when you want it to.

Ryder may not be the best anal plug for the beginner plug user because it's somewhat girthy around the widest insertable part. Intermediate and advanced anal players will find that it inserts easily and comfortably with a little relaxation. I've found clitoral stimulation helps with comfortable insertion as well.

Remember to clean your toys after use and if you store them in a lint-rich environment to clean them before use. Ryder doesn't attract too much lint while in storage, but most silicone toys attract some. If you're going to be sharing toys with partners in one play session, also make sure to clean them between each partner. I don't want to hear about anybody who reads this catching any infection.

Bottom line? Ryder is a very comfortable, quality anal plug that will be a staple in your anal toy collection for a long time. With three great colors to choose from, make sure to get one for yourself today.
