The li'l end - butt plug discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by mineapple

The best features of the Li'l End are its simplicity, as in its compact, slender, but can really impress those who are shy or new to anal play. Doc Johnson has created a quality silicone plug for those who need to ease into anal play, perhaps before moving on to some slightly larger toys.

Another nice feature is the small, yet effective flared base. This makes it easy for your partner to slowly (or quickly) apply small thrusts to the plug to replicate sex which is very effective. Or for those of us who like a filling feeling, using a butt plug during intercourse is fun as well when our partner holds or presses it into us as our body contracts (orgasms), thus pushing it out. It really takes the entire experience to the next level.

The Li'l End is made from nonporous, hypoallergenic, and phthalates-free silicone. Out of the package, it is completely odorless, but as always should be cleaned before first use. The silicone is squishy and the base is flexible, providing a less intimidating yet safe anal first encounter.

The toy has a matte finish and therefore has more drag on it than human skin. A water-based lubricant should always be used during anal play and is suggested for this product to enhance pleasure. Before and after each use, be sure to clean it thoroughly as it will cling to lint, hair, etc.

This toy is just what the name promises -- little yet slightly larger than the average middle finger. The Li'l End starts out very slim, the size of probably your thinnest fingertip, and then progresses to approximately the size of your thumb before tapering off into the base. Altogether it replicates a larger, yet softer and more comfortable finger (minus the detrimental fingernails). Once again, this is a great plug for beginners and those comfortable with light anal play. For those of us looking for something more intense, it might be better to look elsewhere.

Pros: As a smaller yet classic shaped anal toy, its great for anal beginners or those who prefer less intense anal penetration. Also, its Non-porous, Phthalates free, Hypo-allergenic and Latex free which make for a very safe, worry-free experience.

Cons: Very difficult to keep in without constant pressure on base but that is the ONLY downside.

Cleaning: Silicone toys are generally easy to care for and great alternative to Latex for those with allergies. Always clean with hot water and antibacterial soap on a regular basis. For a more thorough cleaning, toss the Li'l End into a pot of boiling water for ten minutes or put into the top rack of a dishwasher, no soap. Lastly, a 10% bleach solution can be used to wipe down the item but be sure to thoroughly rinse it afterward.

Lubricants: To assure that your silicone toy gets the best wear and performance, use a water-based lubricant. In some cases silicone lubes may cause a reaction so always spot test before complete use.

Care and cleaning: Dishwasher safe / Boilable

This toy was a great starter for my girlfriend who wasn't sure she would be into anal play due to some mishaps in her past. I bought it for myself knowing that she would be interested once she witnessed the "results". She quickly became a fan of anal play thanks to this non-intimidating li'l buddy. We now start with the Li'l End as a starter and then move on to using our Doc Johnson Small Silk with our harness. Mhmmm!
