The feeling of anticipation when I was handed the package were overwhelming. I had purchased my first anal toy to use on my partner and here it was, finally arrived.

Tearing the little pink bundle of joy from it's packaging I Gave it a pre-sexual appraisal.
Being the first toy of this type that I had purchased I didn't really know what to look for. It is a small plug, pink, and made of a spongy rubber. Simple.

So it's time for some action and I think that I'll put my new toy to the test.
First try I just used a water based lube. The plug is pretty small and my partner is pretty open to a bit of anal play so no worries, right. Wrong. She found the plug quite painful, not because of the size or shape, but because the material has a tendency to grip to flesh and doesn't glide too well.

So, slightly frustrated and feeling a bit of a tool we rev up for round two. This time I use a bit of desensitizing lube about 30 min before then some water based. Again, too painful, material grabs. Frustration.

Finally we settled for just putting a Dom over and lubing up. No pain this time but not really the same. I think next time I will be going for a slightly firmer Material with a smoother finish.

On a final note the toy had a nice smell when I took it out of the packaging. Don't ask me why but I get really excited when I get that smell of rubber in my nostrils.

Conclusion: Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. This is my first butt-plug, but the material grabbed and made it slightly painful so I guess I will get a few different types and see what happens.

OK so it has been about a month since I first reviewed this toy and, honestly, my opinion has not improved.
Since first reviewing the Doc Johnson Slim Butt plug, I have experimented with both jelly and silicone toys, as well as gaining a lot more experience with using butt plugs in general.
I would love to say that after learning a bit more I learned some finer technique with this toy, but the material just grabs and drags on the flesh too much, and the shape is far from ergonomic. Although I still haven't got around to throwing it out, this little pink piece of sexual disappointment has, sadly, been condemned to the deepest depths of the toy box.
Surprisingly enough, the toy that has taken its place is larger with a wider circumference and more length. The new toy is a jelly, however, and my partner and I both agree that, chemical fears aside, this is a much nicer material with a smoother glide. So, after a month my final conclusion is that the Slim Butt Plug's material just does not suit me and my partner. The shape is not really flexible enough for true beginners. Oh, and when I eventually upgrade, I wont be using rubber.
