I got this as my first anal plug, and it felt great because it was flexible, soft, and thin. It certainly didn't feel extremely uncomfortable as my first experience with an anal toy. Although I don't feel it when it is inside of me, I instead found it helpful for getting used to the sensation of having something inserted into my anus.

Though, because it is thin, it does not stay inside of my anus when I am having vaginal sex. I have to keep it held in with my hand. This is OK, though, because instead my partner or I can then use it for continual penetration of my anus during vaginal sex. He really liked to use it on me at first to help me get used to anal penetration. It was the go-to toy when we were starting anal sex--he'd grab it from out of the toy collection, and I knew what was on his mind.

I have only used this with my partner as anal foreplay. I have not used it solo or with other toys because I instead prefer to use anal beads when I am on my own. But this is just a personal preference, and I suppose I should give it more of a try when I'm on my own.

I have used it with glycerine-free lube, and I have not run into any problems with the two together. I also have not had a problem cleaning it either.

Overall, it was great for helping me start out with the concept of anal insertion. It was so easy to insert and have in that I quickly felt comfortable with trying something larger. I have since used larger plugs and have enjoyed those, but may not have gotten to the point of using those without starting out with the Slim Butt Plug.
