The first thing that hits you about Joyride is that it's a beautiful, sleek little toy. It's high quality, the purple pops, and with the various bumps and shape you know you're in for a treat.

My wife was excited if a little anxious to try this plug. It's longer than the ones we've used, shaped differently, and we've never used one that vibrates. Most of those concerns proved to be false.

We used this toy the same way you would use any butt plug. Relaxed, horny, and plenty of lube. The size of the Joyride was great for us. There was no struggle or force, but large enough that my wife felt it in all the right ways (helped, for sure, by the shape of the toy).

She loved the size. Not just the thickness, but the length as well. It was comfortable and exhilarating.

What she did not like as much were the vibration patterns. This was her first vibrating anal toy, which surely had an impact on her initial impressions. But beyond that, the toy only provides vibration patterns. There isn't a simple, consistent vibration option, which is typically what my wife prefers.

Using this toy doggy style was a blast. The button to control the vibrations is on the end of the plug; hold it in to turn it on or off, push it in to change the patterns. So I had complete control and freedom to mix up the sensations she was receiving, which added a little extra fun to the experience. And despite the fact that she's not a huge fan of the throbbing/pulsing vibration patterns, she did particularly enjoy the option where the intensity of the vibration slowly increased and reset itself repeatedly. With 12 vibration options, you're more than likely to find at least one that works for you. Or, if not, there's no requirement to turn them on at all.

The vibrations on this toy can be very intense. The motor lives in the tip, so that's where the vibrations are really felt. When holding it on your hand, you can feel some vibration down the shaft of the toy, but the head is where the action is.

Once my wife warmed up to the toy, and we stopped messing with the various vibrations and found one that worked for us, Joyride rocked her world. The length and shape gave her different/more intense sensations than the other plugs we used, and it sent her well over the edge. Her orgasms happened faster and with more intensity than normal.
