The intended purpose of this toy is anal play, and it works pretty great. I really enjoy anal sex, but I often get intimidated and worry about there being pain, or horrible side effects. Oh my gosh, I'm just a worrywart! Anyway, this little bugger works really well to just get you started and relax your muscles to the idea of anal sex. Anal sex never feels good if you're tensed up the whole time and it can make it painful, so starting small with a teaser makes a comfortable and worry free transition. I'm also a worrywart about material safety and this toy is silicone, which is perfect! I don't think there is any right or wrong situation for this toy, unless you or your partner don't want to use it. It's great for solo play, a warm up for intercourse with couples, or however else you want to use it.

This toy is made of silicone! I prefer silicone because it's hypoallergenic, easy to care for, doesn't smell funny, and is an all-around safe material. Silicone is also really soft and moves easily, so it's great for anal play. It glides nicely and doesn't grab in any weird ways. It's also really flexible, so I'm not worried about it poking me hard. However, it's not so flexible that you have problems with insertion. I feel like this material and it's texture are for both beginners and more advanced users.

There is a 1/4 inch flared base attached to the 3/4 inch diameter neck. It is also 1 inch diameter at the widest point on the shaft. I really like it when an anal toy "pops" into place thanks to a thin neck neck, and it stays there because of the base. The wide base is flexible, so when it is inserted, the base isn't an uncomfortable lump between your cheeks and instead folds to a comfortable shape. The size seems suitable for any user, but I would recommend that more advanced users use this as a graduating, or warm up toy. It's a relatively small toy, so it is simple to travel with, but one look at it and everyone will know what it is. It has the signature butt plug shape, so it's not something you can leave out on the nightstand.

There are a lot of great little things about this toy that add to it's performance. The silicone material makes it easy to insert and it has a nice shape that knows how to please. I bought this as a warm up toy for first time anal intercourse with my boyfriend and it worked exactly the way I wanted. My boyfriend enjoyed the experience so much that he asked if we could try double penetration some time! I inadvertently purchased a toy that will be harness compatible, so there's an extra plus!

Properly cleaning this toy can be done with antibacterial or sanitizing toy wipes; boiling for two to three minutes; wiping or soaking in with a 10% bleach solution; the packaging says it is safe to place on the top rack of a dishwasher (I assume on the sanitize setting, and without detergents). As with all of my other toys, I simply place it back in it's original packaging for storage. The original package isn't discreet and you can see through the clear plastic to exactly what the toy is. So, I keep everything in my nightstand drawers. Silicone toys are compatible with every lube that isn't silicone. Using silicone lube with this toy will degrade it and ruin the toy.

This toy comes in a plastic, blister case. There's a plastic bubble, shaped like the toy and you can see the toy from outside the package. It has a papery insert that says what the toy is and has the Doc Johnson label.
