Gosh, what do you say about a butt plug like this? It slides into your bum, feels nice while it's there and removes safely and relatively easily.

A seeming contradiction, this butt plug is soft yet firm, flexible yet rigid. It's squeezable to the touch, yet thoroughly maintains its overall shape.

The "classic" may not be for anal newcomers, however. Even with a reasonable amount of experience with anal play, this toy took me three tries on three separate days and a lot of lube before I was able to work up to its size. At 1.75 inches in width, it's got GIRTH!

If you're a newbie to anal play, then do yourself a favor and start with the Slim (1.5" width) or Junior (1" width) models. Don't let your eyes bite off more than your ass can swallow.

With a thorough amount of water-based lube applied to both the plug and to my ass, not to mention patience and continual upward pressure, I was able to fully insert the plug. When it comes to anal play, caution is wise. Do not force anything inside yourself and take your time. Your body will respond if you let it, and for me the Classic definitely took plenty of patience.

The tapered design of the plug allows your ass to dilate gradually and with a firm, but not forceful, pressure, the toy found its way home. Once inside, the narrow portion above the base fits comfortably and the base itself was, for the most part, unnoticeable even during extended wear.

On my first time, I wore the plug for about 30 minutes. Walking and sitting were issue free. I was able to tie my shoes, step outside and felt no issues with the plug being in. That said, the plug itself does deliver a very filling feeling and I was able to stimulate my P-spot quite easily by contracting my anal muscles.

The day following that first test drive, I patiently inserted the plug again and kept it in for four hours. Overall, I experienced no issues at all with the plug. I found the relatively full feeling quite pleasing and I was able to enjoy hitting my P-spot throughout the day, even while getting my hair cut.

Toward the end of this time, however, I did find the base to be pretty noticeable. While it does have an hour glass shape to it, the base pressed still against my perineal area. Overall though, I would say it was more of a very mild discomfort but one I was ready to relieve by removing the plug. That said, I'd rather deal with discomfort from a solid base than risk losing a toy and heading to the ER.

Removal will definitely be a challenge for the newcomer, particularly after any extended wear. Just as inserting takes patience, removing a plug of this size is not an instanta-matic job. Even after just 30 minutes, my ass had adjusted back to the much narrower stem that connects the plug to the base.

Twisting the plug slightly as I pulled it out helped significantly, and once the base of the bulb was clear, the toy shot out like a rocket. Just as with insertion, don't rush the job. Besides, it's one more excuse to play with your ass, isn't it?

Cleaning the plug is pretty simple. Hot soap and water did the trick. I'm not planning on sharing mine with anyone, and because of its relatively low price-point I'm not concerned about it lasting a lifetime. But if these are concerns for you, then you should use a condom over the plug each time you use it.

I continue to use this plug on and off, and I've kept it handy in my toy bag. I would absolutely stand by my previous recommendation. There's nothing really flashy about it, but it does the job it was intended for quite admirably.
