Pleasure #1 - butt plug by Happy Valley - review by Zapples

This little plug is obviously made for those just beginning to experiment with anal play. The Pleasure #1's slim size (and low price) makes it highly accessible for folks who aren't quite sure if a butt plug is for them. After incorporating this toy into my solo sexytimes, I can say for sure that it was a good purchase.

I have the copper coloured one at home, and it's a soft, flexible silicone toy with a very narrow tip that doesn't flare out very much. It's fairly narrow all the way down to the base. It isn't wider than an average man's thumb. The base, though, is wide enough that it can stand fine on its own for those who like to keep their toys on display. Silicone is a nice choice for a plug in my opinion; the material is a lot easier to keep clean than jelly toys but not as rigid as, for example, glass. Remember not to use silicone lube! I used Slippery Stuff water-based, glycerin-free lubricant, and I cleaned up before and after with gentle hand soap and warm water.

I used this toy after warming up with my own finger first (with a finger condom, of course) using copious amounts of lube. As an anal first-timer, I had no idea what to expect. I was actually surprised that the plug slid in easily with no pain. It was quite the opposite! Having it in my ass feels great - especially when I'm coming. I found it made my orgasms feel longer and more intense. My only complaint is that, during orgasm, it has a tendency to slip out. It doesn't fall out completely; it just shifts to the point where it's no longer comfortably inserted. I don't know if this is a common problem or if my anus is super-powerful or what, but it was an unpleasant distraction for me.

Were it not for the slight slipping problem, this would be a perfect toy. As it is, this plug has been a good way for me to experiment with anal; I'm already shopping around for my next step up!

Remember to take things slow - even with a little fella like this! My second time using it, I was over-eager and inserted it too quickly. It wasn't horribly painful, but it wasn't much fun either. It's easy to go too fast putting it in or taking it out. I can say from experience that even though this plug is beginner-friendly, you still have to be careful and stay within your limits.

I've found myself using this less and less. It was a great introduction to anal play, and I really am glad I tried it, but the slipping-out problem is too much of an issue. I'm definitely on the lookout for a new plug.
