My sparkly, unpredictable friend
The aesthetic beauty and hygienic superiority of Buddy is alluring. The size and shape of the plug makes it an ideal beginner's plug, as long as the wearer can handle inopportune slippage.Published: July 4, 2008
Pros:
100% silicone, beautiful and seamless design, inexpensive, comes with storage tube
Cons:
Doesn't stay put
Buddy came to me as if from outer space—sitting upright inside a plastic tube. A blurb on the side of the tube congratulated me on selecting a toy from Vixen Creations, and encouraged me to use the tube as a storage device. But first I needed to meet my very first butt plug, so I popped open the tube and removed it.
Despite my affinity for battery-powered toys, there is something appetizing about the simplicity of a perfectly-molded, seamless piece of 100% silicone, with no wires, buttons, or strange battery compartments to deal with. In this way, Buddy is like some glorious space-age creation. The silver glitter suspended in the silicone only adds to my aesthetic enjoyment of Buddy.
The shape of Buddy is non-intimidating, even inviting. I told myself I could begin by just inserting the tip, then progress to the bulb. And that is just what I did, with the help of my good friend, water-based lube (remember, silicone lube is out of the question with silicone toys). I felt very little discomfort, and quickly went straight to full insertion. I cannot yet compare Buddy to any other anal toy, but he felt deliciously perceptible.
Herein lies the only downfall: Buddy doesn't stay in one place very well. I've determined that the silicone simply doesn't narrow enough at the base. This isn't a make-or-break problem for me, because I generally masturbate while sitting, and I'm not yet interested in extended wear—but it's definitely something to consider for those wanting a plug that doesn't budge.
Clean-up of Buddy, as with all pure silicone toys, is ridiculously easy: just fondle him with some soap and water. You can sterilize silicone by boiling it for 3 minutes. I made sure to boil Buddy while my boyfriend was cooking on the stove. I felt quite victorious.
I've found the storage tube to take up too much space in my toy box, so I don't keep Buddy in it. But it's definitely a good option; the black top just pops off and on. It's also an economically sound choice on the part of Vixen Creations. I've seen a video of employees working on toys at Vixen, and let me tell you, I want to be the person that pops the dildos and butt plugs out of their molds.
Anyway, you could always use the tube as a naughty pencil holder.

Black... Blue?

Does anyone know if the "black" listed for this toy is actually a plain, glossy black or if it's the marbled navy blue in the picture? I've been wondering for ages and waiting for a review to come up that would qualify that for me. Anyone know?

Not really sure but maybe i should ask around for you

Something might be labelled wrong.

Thank you for viewing Buddy – anal toy review page!
This is, as you put it, a very non-intimidating looking butt plug. It's a shame it doesn't narrow just a tad further at the base so as to stay put better. :(
Boiling butt plugs while your boyfriend cooks--does it get any more domestic? Thanks for the chuckle and the great (as always!) review!
Thanks for the great review! I appreciate you looking out for all the long term plug wearers out there and mentioned that it didn't stay in place very well - always a problem for long term wear. It looks pretty cool though and with that BEND - might provide nice stimulation to my male parts.
I think I may have been a crow in a past life. I don't even like butt toys, but I see that, and all I can think is "ooooh! SHINY!"
This is a nice shape and tapered design for introducing the new feeling to one's butt... though I've used plugs similarly-shaped, and it does get irritating when they pop out randomly. Sigh.
Yeah, the shape is both good and bad.
Nice review
Thanks for the tip on 'does not stay in' :/ that's a downer
The shape seems to scare me away
Thanks for the review
