This is an anal plug. Really, with a product this big and grandiose, I would really suggest that if you do not know what to use this for, you should click away now. I won't blame you, this is a big step for anyone weary of new things, just go look at something smaller, made of a safer material first.

And, this is what it is. There's no real stepping around the subject, it is a butt plug. First and foremost, the design is a bit different from any other plug, but minus the angles, it's pretty similar to a lot of other plugs on the market. (On that matter, why are 90% of plugs black?) It's base makes it comfortable to wear for longer periods of time, and safer too, though this particular plug is not the safest material for anal play.

THIS. IS. STICKY. There's a reason why I wouldn't call this travel friendly-- this will pick up every particle of dust and more. It is not suitable for a suitcase, as by the time you get to where you're going, it will be covered in hair. You will be washing this toy often, I wouldn't ever think of using this toy without a condom.

On that note, it stays in place reasonably well, possibly because of the material used. I have a cock ring that is similarly as tacky-feeling, so maybe this is an aid, but whatever. It goes in, and stays well, so that is that. However, because of this stickiness, I wouldn't call it smooth at all, though that is the feeling the material aims for, if it wasn't so bloody tacky feeling.

It does have a slight order, and stronger than one would want it to be. Wash it down out of the package, and the initial smell will mostly go away, though there will always be a light odor. However, because of the use of this toy, I doubt you'll be "all up in this toy's business."

The design is pretty spectacular and new-agey in my opinion, especially after all the triangle-like shapes for ages on end. However, this is not a reinvention of the wheel. The sizing makes it easier to ease in and play with, and with enough lube, it's comfortable and really fun to play with.

The sizing is a bit of a problem, however, when they call this a "trainer". In my mind, when I hear "trainer", I think small, something to use to get to an end result, not gargantuan titular plug. Yes, this is designed in a manner to make it easier to get in, but I wouldn't say this is ANYTHING good for a beginner. Something smaller would be much, much better, so I would say the name of this toy is very deceiving. This is meant to train you for even bigger horizons.

The shape, from what I understand, has been shaped so one can wear this with a harness-- that nice 'o' shape near the base, however, the base seems oddly shaped for this task in my eyes. I do not own a harness to test out this theory, but from what I've seen with other toys that are made perfectly for harnesses, the base is a bit more rounded and secure-looking.

This did it's job. It's crafted to hit all the right spots, and it did (after a little bit of "training" without the toy) fit well. This is rather comfortable, but it would be nice if I didn't have to use a condom. I mean, I could have not used a condom, but because this toy can not be sterilized, I would never skip using a condom. That was cumbersome and annoying. I would rather have a glass or silicone toy that is easier to clean and I can use without a condom, but that's just me.

YOU WILL BE CLEANING THIS TOY A LOT. It attracts a lot of dust, and could probably stick to your other toys, though I have not been storing this with the rest of my toys. Currently, it's sitting as a little bit of post-modernistic art on the night-stand in my room, and because it's away from most objects, it hasn't attracted a whole lot of dust in the process, but if you can't have the nice little arrangement that I have, I would store this at the back of a bathroom cabinet, where it's nice and chill and away from your linen and dust. Or, just in a drawer you don't mind smelling the chemical gunk.

You will have to clean this before and after use, but you can use silicone OR water based lubricants, which makes this toy easy to use, and great for lazy people like me who don't want to go fetch another lubricant when another one is closer. Warm water and soap, or toy cleaner, is perfect for cleaning this toy, and because it's so slick, it's not a hard clean as much as it is tedious.
