Freshen-up reliably without much fuss!

Some may prefer or recommend using a cleansing solution like this one in the shower. I, however, have no troubles using the Colt Anal Douche while on the toilet. Simply run a sink full of lukewarm water, and (with the smaller nozzle attached) fill the bulb from the sink. Whilst seated upon the throne after business has concluded, apply a dab of lube, insert the nozzle, and squeeze the bulb. After withdrawing the nozzle, I recommend emptying the rest of the bulb into the loo behind you before expelling the rest of the water and waste out of yourself.

Herein enters the potential problem, however. Such a "dance" does require some measure of coordination and hand strength that may prove difficult for some users. The bulb itself is very sturdy, which requires some hefty pressure to empty. Also, if you're careless with the angle of the nozzle (and you're not using the larger, more rounded attachment) the tip can press against your insides, making emptying the bulb even more difficult. Using the larger slip-on nozzle on top of the smaller one mitigates this trouble somewhat, but it also makes for more steps and cleanup of the device itself.

When using the larger nozzle you have to fill the bulb as mentioned above, then place the large nozzle on top, making sure that the screw-on tip is firmly in place. After you've emptied the bulb, you then have to remove the slip-on before filling again. However, some water will get trapped between the two nozzles, so it's best to remove it over the sink or the toilet.

The bulb and "skirt" of the slip-on attachment are made of thick, resilient latex rubber. The nozzles themselves are plastic. The toy overall had no noticeable smell. The ribbed texture of the slip-on attachment is very smooth and pleasurable if you're into textured toys.

Since this "toy" is used as a prelude to anal play, it's important for it to be size-appropriate for all "levels" of users. I feel the Colt does an excellent job here. The base nozzle is very thin and should pose no problems to anal-play beginners. The slip-on attachment adds a little bit of length, girth, and texture to the toy for the more adventurous users.

I purchased the Colt two years ago, and I have found it to be a great performer for keeping me clean. One or two rinse cycles is usually enough for even the most prolonged play session. The only annoyance that has cropped-up is that the base nozzle sometimes has a tendency wiggle out of the bulb a centimeter or two after use. The nozzle still fits snugly and isn't in danger of sliding loose during normal usage, it just adds another step to the re-fill process from time to time.

I've only ever used the Colt with water-based lubes, but silicone-based ones should work fine as well. Since the toy is made for expelling water, it doesn't get very dirty. A simple run-through of hot water and some soap or cleanser applied to the outside of the nozzles should suffice.

Since it's been a couple of years since I purchased the Colt, I can't recall if it had anything in the way of instructions with it. The packaging, however, was the same as what is pictured on the product page. In case the muscle-bound model's backside doesn't spell it out well enough, the box unmistakably announces its contents in large letters.

Since I've become accustomed to using the Colt and developed a "system" over the past couple of years, freshening-up only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish for a thorough job.
