The Iridescent plug|Butt plugs: Iridescent plug was actually my first anal plug. I chose this one first for several reasons, the major one being size. It isn't very long and is not very wide at all, which went a long way in convincing me to try it. It's really not something I was able to be scared of. Really, who could be scared of something only slightly bigger than an index finger and more flexible than chewing gum?

I know some people think this might be too small, even for the beginning beginner, but I disagree on the premise of innocuousness and ease of removal and insertion. Personally, I wanted something I knew I could get rid of quickly if I didn't like it.

The iridescent, purple, pearly material is actually somewhat attractive. I know, what does attractiveness matter when it's going between the cheeks? Yet, somehow, that was one of the first thoughts through my mind. The inner layer - the purple part - is loose inside, and more rigid than the opalescent, white outer layer. I thought it was odd at first, but I could feel the difference immediately. Since then I have used it many times, always with a high level of satisfaction. Unfortunately, the small, simple style of this plug is what keeps me from recommending it for everyone. It does, much to my displeasure, slip out if activity gets too rigorous. (Imagine my boyfriend's surprise) And, if you're looking for something to pack a wallop, look elsewhere, because this toy is definitely aimed at the beginner, or someone planning to use it for extended periods of time.

Overall, I really enjoyed this plug and still use it from time to time when I only want mild stimulation. It's definitely geared toward beginners, but its flexibility and non-intimidating nature bring me back for more. It's also good for those experienced in anal play who might want to gradually introduce a partner to such a pleasurable play.
