The Li'l End is another excellent product from Doc Johnson. It is a small silicone butt plug in such a sweet color. It is described as purple, but is on the pink side of lilac and has a pearly shine. The silicone is fairly soft and quite flexible. The Li'l End can be bent completely in half. The base is wide enough compared to the shaft that there are no worries about this slipping inside and getting lost in your butt.

Being silicone, I'll let you know that you shouldn't use silicone-based lube on this toy. Water-based is preferred, or my personal favorite- coconut oil. The Li'l End can be easily cleaned with soap and warm water and can be boiled to disinfect. As with all Doc Johnson silicone that I have seen, this toy has the 'Doc Johnson' name molded into the base on the side. It seems like a place where undesirable substances could collect, so be sure to scrub that area with a brush. Crevices are a drawback in an anal toy, but I let it slide because it's not impossible to take a few swipes at it with a toothbrush (reserved for that purpose, guys!!! Sheesh!) I would highly recommend having a dildo-cleaning toothbrush if you plan on owning products from Doc Johnson. Just be sure to label it or something, and don't store it in the toothbrush holder! I have not gone so far as to have a separate butt plug toothbrush and dildo toothbrush, but now that I think about it, it isn't a bad idea.

The size of this toy is small, as you might have guessed. It is like a very tapered finger and is good when you just don't have enough hands to take care of everything. However, the small size does require that you push it back in frequently. Don't put it in and go out on the town. It will most definitely fall out. If you are very experienced with butt plugs, this would not be for you. The Li'l End is for beginners and is a comfortable introduction to the world of butt lovin'. It is not too large or intimidating, comes in friendly colors, and is very flexible.

There was no smell to this toy straight out of the package. I wouldn't expect anything less from something made of silicone. Also, it doesn't seem to be retaining any unpleasant ass-related smells after several months of use. I am very diligent with the cleaning (as you may have guessed with the toothbrush info), but you can't be too careful when it comes to things that have been in your poop chute.

I like this toy as a warm up to bigger and better things or in addition to a dildo or vibrator. On its own it is pretty ho-hum, but sometimes I just want something that isn't too challenging. The fact that it likes to pop out could be a problem for some, but I don't go walking around grocery shopping with it in. I find that clenching my ass cheeks holds it in and adds to the stimulation, and proper positioning helps to retain it (on my back with the base pushing against the bed). I like to use a very large dildo in my vagina, and the Li'l End is the only thing I can cram in my butt since there isn't any extra room left.

I like this little butt plug for sentimental reasons too - it is just so darn cute! It is also the only thing that I have slipped into my husbands ass besides my finger and he is a bit shy about these things.

Though I don't always reach for the li'l end, it is still in high rotation. It is definitely my go-to for anal warm up when I'm flying solo, but I often move on to something a tad larger for the grand finale. Li'l has a specific purpose for me, and it does the job quite nicely.
