After using so-called "beginner" plugs in our anal play for awhile, the wife and I decided to increase the size a little. We purchased this little guy, thinking that it could provide the right amount of "fullness" for me.

When we opened the Sassi Bendi, the first thing we noticed was the smell. This toy is made of rubber, so you'll get that distinct smell right away, though it will be less evident with use and cleaning. I gave the toy a little squeeze, finding it to be smooth, with a little give, but still firm. The bendable function wasn't too noticeable, and didn't end up as a useful feature.

Because this is rubber, and for anal use, we did cover. After warming up, we started insertion. We found right away that this wasn't for beginners, but with time and patience, it became ideal for the next level in our exploration. First-time users should insert this toy slowly, allowing themselves to be comfortable with the current size before pushing further. When this is in, it rubs you in all the right places, and stays pretty comfortable.

The suction cup base works very well, and is ideal if you wish to mount it to to floor, or even a smooth surface (We tried the TV for research's sake!). The suction feature does help to minimize the first drawback indicated below, and allows your hands to be free for masturbation.



Drawbacks with this plug are few. One would be that the shape doesn't taper enough at the base for the plug to stay in, which makes it difficult to use as enhancement to other sexual activity. At one point, the plug launched out! Unless you find a smooth surface to attach this plug to, one hand will be dedicated to keeping it in.

The other drawback is the bendable function. The toy is pretty short, so you don't really notice the difference.

All in all, the Sassi Bendi will definitely become a permanent part of our collection. This plug is a good intermediate step between beginner plugs and accurately sized dildos.
