The Plugs of Lust Large (henceforth PLL) is a 100% silicone plug from Orion, a German company. The PLL would best be used by someone with some anal experience since its diameter is 1 ½”, much like the Ryder or Tristan plug. Being a plug it is not meant to be thrust, but rather stay in place. Even if you wanted to thrust with the PLL, it would be nearly impossible as once you got the largest part of the toy past your sphincter, it would rocket out of your ass.

Because it is of a substantial girth, the PLL would be appropriate to use as a tool for warming-up before either having anal sex or putting in a larger plug or other toy. I personally, however, don’t like popping a larger plug in first thing. I would really recommend you invest in a smaller plug that you could pop in for about 15 minutes to help your ass relax before moving onto this bad boy or any other larger plug. But, if you’re comfortable enough, go right ahead and pop it in first thing.

Since the PLL is 100% silicone, it is non-porous and perfect for an anal toy. The silicone itself doesn't have much give to it, but it is very smooth and silky somewhat like Fun Factory Silicone. Since it's smooth, you shouldn't have any problems with it irritating you.

Also because it is silicone, you want to make sure you use only water-based lubricant with your toy. Silicone lubricant could make the surface permanently tacky and render it unusable.

The PLL has a great design. In addition to having a nice pointed-dome taper (think the roof on the top of a tower in an old mosque), it has a great little handle to help pull the plug out when you’re done. I personally always just lightly grasp the base of my plugs and then push them out with my ass muscles, but if you would rather pull the handle is there at your service.

The base is round. Before receiving the plug I did have a slight prejudice against its base since other reviewer friends had told me they really don’t like round bases in their toys. I’ve never had a plug with a round base before this, so I was hoping my opinion would differ. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the base is comfortable.

As far as size, the PLL is definitely not a beginner's plug, but with a little warm-up someone with some experience will have no problem popping the PLL right in.

The PLL is really one of the simplest toys you can get your hands on. It only has one purpose, to chill out in your ass. And I’m pleased to report it does this quite well. Popping out wasn’t a problem after it was inserted and the design is filling without being overstimulating. I really don’t have any complaints about the performance of this plug.

Since the PLL is 100% silicone care of it is incredibly simple. You can either boil it for a few minutes, put it in the top rack of your dishwasher with no soap for a cycle or you can wipe it down with a 1 part bleach, 9 parts water solution. All of these methods will completely sanitize your toy, which for me is a must with anal play since you don’t want bacteria hanging out on your plug and then making you sick. Also, sharing it is perfectly fine. Just make sure you sanitize it one or more of the ways above before and after each use between people. If you treat it with care, the PLL should last you a lifetime.

The packaging is the most lacking part of the PLL. It comes in a plastic shell which opens up easily because it snaps together instead of having to be cut apart. The insert on the PLL includes very little information other than the plug is made of silicone in Germany. The front of the insert has a naked blonde woman facing away. It’s not the tackiest packaging I’ve ever seen, but it’s definitely not classy. They would have been better off putting it in a thin plastic box or something of the like that’s equally cheap.

My first impression of the Plugs of Lust Large was that it looks shockingly similar to, in all senses except color, to another store’s “Pop” plugs. I went to the store and read the online reviews, which were overwhelmingly positive, so I got even more excited to receive the Plugs of Lust Large. It definitely met my expectations.
