Bootie - sex toy by Fun Factory - review by dracarys

While I suppose this could be used vaginally, it's of course meant to be used anally and it's a fabulous beginner's toy! This was my first anal toy and I LOVE it. After plenty of curiosity, I went to the anal toys section at Babeland where I'd already chosen this based on its reviews.

Due to its small length and large base, it's quite comfortable for prolonged use - I've worn it to work and even slept in it. After a while you forget it's there - which can be either good or bad, depending on your purposes. I find some rocking or clenching helps remind you.

The Bootie is silicone, which is great. It's smooth to the touch and hard without being too unyielding. Silicone is great because it's so easy to clean. The material does retain some smell, though, so if you're really sensitive to that I might think twice... but I'm pretty sure most people doing anal play know butts don't smell like roses!

I LOOOVED the design! It slipped right in, but the nice curve ensured sensation, though I'm still not sure which way the curve should go. I would imagine for those with the right anatomy there's a particular direction for the P-spot to be stimulated, but i just switched it up - occasionally while I was wearing it, which was fun.

It's pretty small, which is great for anal beginners such as myself but I'm quickly desiring something a little bigger. It's fairly small, and though not discreet, would be easy to pack up and travel with, as long as you have some privacy. Just don't forget to pack lube!

I loved using the Bootie! As a total beginner, I was glad that its size was not at all intimidating, and the large base made me feel very secure in that it had zero chance of getting lost.

I lubed it up with some Babelube I'd bought previously (though I now use Sliquid Sassy as my anal lube, it worked wonderfully) and, with some clitoral stimulation to help distract my nervous thoughts, pushed it in. It slid right in! It took a while to get used to the sensation but I really enjoyed it. I found that sitting I could rock back and forth and get some noticeable sensation, whereas if I wasn't moving I quickly forgot it was there. I couldn't believe how comfortable it was!

As much as I love wearing the Bootie out and about, my favorite part is its removal. (See: why I bought anal beads!) Or just working it in and out in foreplay, or... whenever!

Silicone is one of the easiest materials to care for. The Bootie is totally nonporous, which definitely comes in handy for an anal toy. Use only water-based lubes, as silicone-based lubes on silicone toys are a no-no. If you're sharing this toy, use condoms or boil it between each use. Since I'm the only one who uses the Bootie, I just wash it with soap and warm water and boil it after every few uses. Works wonderfully!

Again, there is a bit of an odor that is retained, but it's really only noticeable if you're looking for it.

The Bootie comes in a plastic tray enclosed in a little box with its name and the Fun Factory logo. There were some helpful hints in the package about anal toys, as well as a little packet of lube - great for those who got too excited and forgot to have some before use. I think it's hard to make the packaging for an anal toy discreet, but absent are the scantily clad moaning women, so that's a definite plus. I wouldn't leave it lying around, but it's one of the sex toy packages I've felt comfortable keeping for storage.
