The Bootie by Fun Factory is an amazing butt plug with many uses. As a woman, I have found it provided extra stimulation when used anally during penetrative sex. This is a great way to try a little bit of double penetration without introducing someone new. The toy is small enough to be comfortable in almost all positions. You could wear it anally during masturbation to enhance your orgasm. It will work well for all genders, though if used alone it will likely not be enough to give you an orgasm. Think of it as more of an 'enhancer.' However, where it really shines is during long-term wear. Because of the long, narrow base that sits right between the cheeks, it will remain comfortable for hours on end! And due to the curved, bulging tip it is very unlikely to pop out in public. I am confident enough to wear this out and do not anticipate any problems. You could easily sleep while wearing this.

(** NOTE: There are a couple things you should know when using this for long-term wear. This was my first anal toy, and these are the things I wish someone had told me. I learned from experience and by researching on the internet. Some of this may be obvious to advanced users, but if this is your first time wearing a butt plug for extended periods of time, keep reading. If you think you already know, skip this paragraph. First and foremost, always use lube! You will only need two pea-sized drops of water-based lube when you first insert it. Second, after an hour or two, the water-based lube will begin to dry up. This will result in a light burning sensation, which is somewhat uncomfortable. This is your cue to remove the toy, clean it up, reapply lube, and reinsert the toy. Do this every couple hours to avoid any problems. If you do not do this, then when it comes time to remove the toy, it will be dry and hard to remove. Maybe even painful. Third, prepare yourself for the inevitable; a bowel movement. The urge to go may come upon you suddenly and it will be strong. The more regular you are, the less problems you will have. It is always easier and more comfortable to use this butt plug after a bowel movement. Fourth, if you are wearing it in public, prepare for removal. Make sure you bring with you some Eden Wipes and at the very least a plastic baggie to put the toy in after you remove it. The wipes come free with every order, if you choose to grab them. If you have a travel-sized lube or a sample packet of lube, bring that too. A sample-sized packet of Toyfluid is included with the toy. Hope this was helpful to someone! XOXO )

This toy is sized right to be comfortable to beginners, but large enough that it can still be used when you become more practiced in anal play. Some plugs made for beginners are so small, that they will not stay in once you are more advanced. They essentially become useless. This is not one of those plugs! It still has enough to offer advanced players, and I still recommend it to them. This is an anal toy staple that should have a home in anyone's toybox. The unique base and curved tip make this perfect for long-term wear, a rarity in anal toys, and I think any advanced player can appreciate that.

The best occasion to use this toy is everyday, and the best situation could be anywhere you can think of! On a bed, in the shower/bath, in the hot tub/pool, around the house, or out and about!

There are no safety precautions to take with this toy. The base makes it more than safe for anal play, and the material is a solid 10 on the safety scale. Safe as it gets!

The Bootie is made out of 100% silicone, which rates a 10/10 on Eden's safety scale. Silicone is smooth and non-porous, which means it won't harbor bacteria. It also won't break down over time. Since it is known for its water repellence and has no moving parts, it is completely waterproof. The silicone feels super velvety and smooth, with a bit of drag. I would say the material and lack of texture definitely adds to the stimulation and aids in insertion. The lack of texture makes it great for anyone from beginners to advanced users. The material doesn't have a taste or smell right out of the package, but it does tend to pick up smells. The odor can be nearly eliminated by washing it directly after removal and storing it somewhere breathable, such as in a satin drawstring bag, rather than in the original packaging. Mine barely has a scent after caring for it this way. I would say the toy is firm, which helps in getting it in, though it is a little bendy at the base.

The design of the Bootie is brilliant! The vibrant purple butt plug begins with a long, narrow, vertical base that will rest comfortably between the cheeks. It is more than long enough to prevent the toy from becoming lost inside, even for advanced users. The neck stems out from the middle of the base, starting small and ending in a curved, bulging tip. This tip is meant to be facing upwards, and does a great job of keeping the toy from popping out. I am confident this can be worn in public without issue. Bootie does everything it promises to do and more! I am completely satisfied with this toy, and would recommend it not only to lovers of anal play, but to anyone curious about it as well. The size is perfect. As I mentioned earlier, it is small enough for beginners, but large enough to stay in once the user becomes more advanced. It is also large enough for advanced players to still be interested, and they will be, considering all it has to offer! Anyone should be able to use this toy without any prior experience or preparation. No stretching or warm-up required! It is very suitable for travel because of its size. It can be easily stowed in a pocket or purse. It is fairly discreet, as it is not realistically-shaped, but many people will be able to figure out what it is. Tuck it somewhere safe, away from prying eyes.

The Bootie preformed wonderfully! When inserted, it felt like a soft hug; gentle and comfortable. It wasn't at all painful, uncomfortable, or overwhelming. It stimulates once inside, and stays in place, leaving you free to go about your day with a naughty little secret! If instead you choose to use it during playtime, it will enhance your orgasm from sex or masturbation and provide that extra something to make things more exciting and pleasurable. There are multiple ways to use this toy, so I marked it as having 'lots of variety in function.' Part of the fun is deciding when and where to use this toy! I also think it is easy to use. It doesn't require any prior training or stretching before insertion. However, the tip does tend to dart around the target if you grab it by the base of the neck where it can bend. The best way to insert it is to grab it where the neck meets the bulging tip, where it is much firmer, and slide it in slowly. I don't anticipate anyone having problems inserting this, even if it is their first time. On top of all that, it is comfortable to use, even for hours on end! Some people have said you can sleep while wearing this toy. However long you choose to wear it, I can assure you that you will enjoy pleasant and comfortable stimulation for as long as it is in!

Silicone is not only one of the safest materials, but very easy to clean. After use, it can be wiped down with toy wipes or alcohol-free baby wipes for convenience. Or instead, it could be rinsed and sprayed with toy-cleaning spray and wiped with a wet washcloth. This is good for an everyday clean. When you want to really sterilize your toys, which you should do before switching partners or orifices and a couple of times a year regardless, you can boil it for 3-5 minutes or place in the top rack of your dishwasher with no soap. It is an easy to care for material, and is low-maintenance. As long as you clean it after each use and sterilize every so often for good measure, you will be all set. Some people may prefer to clean it before each use as well, which is fine too.

It can be stored anywhere, but preferably somewhere breathable like a satin drawstring bag to reduce odors. If you must, you can store it in a box or the original packaging, though I don't recommend it. Doing this makes it hard for the smell to go away. I noticed a huge improvement after keeping it in the satin bag.

Please, never use silicone lube with silicone toys! It will damage them and wear them down. Water-based is always the safest, and it's the only kind I use. Reapply when things are getting dry, and you'll be good to go.

The packaging is not the greatest. It comes in a recyclable cardboard box with a plastic tray inside. This tray holds the toy against the back of the box and protects it from the open front of the box, but since it is one-sided, the toy may fall out when you open it. It comes with a manual, and a sample packet of Toyfluid, a water-based lube. The packaging is not discreet, because you can see the toy on the front, you can see a picture of the toy on the back, and the right panel clearly says 'Anal plug,' while the right panel gives you more information in different languages. It says things like the Bootie "delivers rapturous pleasure," and "The combination of flexibility and the necessary hardness arouse the posterior passion zones." What I do like about the box, is that even in purple, it is very gender-neutral. The entire box is colored in shades of black, white, and grey, and the back picture shows the purple Bootie on a black leather couch. The packaging caters to both genders, though it appears to be more manly than neutral. This is just my opinion. It is not really great for storage, and wouldn't make a great gift, but it does what it has to do, which is carry the goodness that is Bootie to your home so you can 'arouse your posterior passion zones!'

I chose the Bootie as my first anal toy, and I am so glad I did! I was unsure about whether or not I would even enjoy the anal stimulation, but this has become one of my favorite toys. The first time I used it, I debated for 5 minutes or so whether or not to put it in. I was scared, but the small size and charming appearance definitely helped. I applied two pea-sized drops of water-based lube, bent over, and while gripping the toy where the neck meets the bulging tip, slid it in slowly. It went in on the first try, and did not feel uncomfortable. I wasn't sure what to think about the sensation at first, but I got dressed and went about my day. I wore it for about an hour the first time, and increased my time by about an hour each day afterward. I quickly learned to love the feeling, something I did not expect to happen. I am glad I gave anal toys a try! Bootie is not only comfortable enough for everyday wear, but gently stimulates. I would say having it in while going about my day-to-day routine is even arousing. I would suggest giving this a try, even if you just wear it around the house. Soon after, I tried wearing it during penetrative sex. The double penetration felt good, and while some have remarked the long base gets in the way during sex, we did not have this problem. I am looking forward to using it while masturbating as well. I haven't gotten the chance yet, but I'm sure it will be quite enjoyable. I plan to continue wearing Bootie during the day, as the little bit of kinkiness it adds to my daily life is so much fun! It will be used during sex and masturbation as well, for the enhanced orgasms and extra stimulation it brings. Bootie is well-loved, and has earned its rightful place in my toybox, as I expect it will in yours!
