He's just a few points away from the gold medal. Can he do it? He runs, he jumps, he flips...AND HE STICKS IT-...

In his butt?

That's right. The Putin plug by Manzzz is an intermediate to advanced anal plug, intended to be inserted into your booty and then worn about during various activities, from sitting at work to grocery shopping to sexual intercourse. Though it is too short and the handle is too ungainly for thrusting, this handsome toy performs its designated function perfectly.



The Putin's tapered tip eases insertion, but it flares out fairly quickly, with a thick middle section to get past before you reach the narrow neck. Its shape and size definitely lends itself better to use by an intermediate or advanced user. It affords an incredible sense of fullness and its ring-shaped handle prevents it from being lost inside, nestling fairly comfortably between your cheeks. The ring is the perfect width for one to slip a finger through, making this an excellent choice for solo sessions or partnered play.

Manzzz toys are marketed specifically to those who identify with the male gender. Even though their tagline is "For Men Only", anyone with a butt and a bit of ambition will most certainly enjoy this high quality, unique design.

The Putin is made of luxurious, royal blue silicone. It has a smooth, matte texture and is quite firm, with only the tiniest bit of bend and give to it. It has a very lightly visible seam, but it is nearly impossible to feel with your fingertips and completely unnoticeable when in use. Its only texture comes in the form of an embossed necktie and name, the Manzzz brand label. I think that smooth and sleek is the best texture this toy could possibly have. Its girth is stimulation enough and the addition of too much texture would make it very uncomfortably to use.



The silicone of this toy truly has no taste or smell. Silicone is non-porous, hypoallergenic, and latex- and phthalates-free. The material is lightweight for the size of this plug, making it a breeze to wear once inserted. It retains temperature well. Try chilling or warming your Putin in water before using it for some extra sensation!

The design of the Putin plug is rather unique in its geometric, angled look. Where most toys just slope gradually, the Putin has a more dramatic shape, making it somewhat more challenging to insert, despite its tapered tip. This toy is not discreet, as it is quite clearly a butt plug, but without vibrating parts it will certainly travel well.

The small, pointed tip is only about a quarter inch thick, flaring out slowly over the first 1 3/4" of the toy's length. It widens to its angled center point, which measures approximately 1 3/4". From there it flares out again to its widest point, which is nearly 2" thick, falling short by less than 1/8". That middle section, where the width is between 1 3/4" and 2" is very intense during insertion. Once you pass that point, it tapers rapidly to a short little neck that measures a mere 1/2" in diameter and barely a quarter inch in length. All 3" of its insertable length settle snugly inside of you, with the 1 1/2" ring nudged right up against your entrance.

Here it is as compared to the Bootie, the Rider, and the Moon Plug. It has a similar girth to that of the Moon Plug, but its tip is more tapered and its widening is more gradual. It is not quite as advanced as the Moon Plug.



The ring is 3/4" thick and 1 1/2" wide on the outside, but only about 7/8" on the inside. I wear a women's ring size 11 and my index finger only fits in up to the second joint, not all the way down to where a ring would sit. The ring is slightly more squishy than the rest of the toy, making it quite comfortable to sit on. I was concerned that it may pinch a bit, as it is open in the center, but I have not had any problems with that. With a little bit of lube, you could even insert a bullet into the ring, turning your butt plug into a vibrator.

Though it has angles, they are very soft and not at all painful. Its firm, sturdy construction aids insertion, as does the tapered tip. It is deliciously filling, yet it stays in place well. Its smooth, matte surface holds lubricant well, which is essential for a pleasurable insertion.



The ring makes removal as easy as it can be, giving you leverage. The item's blunt shape just above the neck is my only complaint. Especially if you wear this plug for a very long time, your muscles settle around that tiny neck and then they have to open up to fit the entire 2" girth through upon removal. If you don't take it very, very slowly it has the potential to be extremely painful. I would have appreciated a similar, but shorter, taper to that of the tip.

The addition of a bullet to the ring turns this toy into a great vibrating plug. Silicone translates vibration very well and this toy is no exception.

This plug is SO easy to care for. Its smooth surface is easy to wash off with soap and water or the toy cleaner of your choice. To fully sterilize it, you can boil it for three minutes, put it in the top rack of your dish washer, or wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution. To avoid damage, I store it in a cloth pouch in my toy drawer. Only use water-based lubricants with this item as silicone- and oil-based lubes may damage its surface.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I'm a sucker for packaging. The Putin comes in a neat cardboard box with a convex shape and a light blue pattern, speckled with the circle+arrow symbol for "male". While it does not have any cheesy nude pictures plastered all over it, it does have a window on both the back and the front, prominently displaying the toy. It is not at all discreet and it is too flimsy to be used as a gift or storage box. Please be sure to recycle.



So says the packaging, in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Russian, and Czech - "Extra large butt plug for discovering of new delights The ring in the end gives you 100% control when using it." The directions are listed across the top of the box, in English only. They read - "Anal sex toys should be washed with warm soapy water and left to dry naturally after use. Do not share anal toys between partners without using a physical barrier such as a latex or neoprene condom. Anal sex toys should be well-lubricated with a sexual lubricant intended for such purposes. For silicone toys use only water-based lubricant only." (Yes, only use it only! That's their typo, not mine, lol!)

I'm not 100% certain how to pronounce the name of this item. It might be the Put-In plug, like "Put it in your backside", but I like pronouncing it with a Russian accent, like Vladimir Putin, the politician. This judge is pretty pleased with the Putin, overall! Thus the name of this review.
