Whew... how pretty! One of the most beautiful violet colored anal probes seemed like a nice addition to my sex toy collection. The box claims the Fantasy Krystal Anal Exciter is "perfect for first-timers", but having dealt with many first-timers as a pro-domme, I'd have to say it's a little too big for that. A second-timer, maybe. Or possibly a third-timer.

Either way, I decided to first try out the Exciter myself. Right off the bat, I was turned off by the odor the toy emitted after taking it out of the box. It was obvious that this sex toy contains phthalates, so I would recommend using it with condoms for safety. The vibe powers up conveniently on 2 AA batteries, has multiple speeds, and a handy carrying strap. The three nubs at the top are soft and smooth; the power is supplied at the base of the sex toy, which has a grass-like line pattern on the bottom. At 9 inches long, the Exciter will fill up the most avid anal enthusiast.

Since I am not big on playing with anal vibrators myself, I masturbated with the Exciter as I usually do with most vibrators, starting with my clit and then inserting it vaginally. I was impressed with the power it provides and it felt nice inside me, but don't see it as a sex toy I would use regularly. I was eventually able to make myself come with some work, but felt the toy was a bit bulky all around.

Seeing the sex toy is one of those vibrators that were created for a person who enjoys anal penetration more than I do, I decided to try it out on one of my submissives. He generally asks for "bigger" sex toys, but his eyes are larger than his asshole, so this always poses a problem. I figured the Anal Exciter would be good for him because it starts smaller at the top (4 inches around) and graduates to a whopping 6-inch girth at the base. So I lubed it up and cranked it to the highest speed, which he seemed to enjoy. Insertion was a little difficult at first since the nubs at the top are a little floppy, but once inside, it was easy enough for me to maneuver.

This is where the carrying strap comes in handy; I can wrap it around my wrist to ensure the toy doesn't get lost! I also liked having the wider base to grip on to. My submissive enjoyed it, but alas, couldn't quite swallow the whole thing, which I could have predicted.

All in all, I'd say it's so-so for an anal sex toy, but not great for first-timers, as the box claims. There are better anal toys out there, but if you're looking for something to play with in the bathtub, shower, or pool, then the Krystal Anal Exciter might be for you. However, its unpleasant odor is a major drawback and something to consider. I don't know if it was just with my particular toy, but it still lingered after repeated cleanings.
