I have been trying to get this one in for almost 3 years now, and despite my best effort, I haven't made it fully in yet... I rarely use it anymore as I have actually started to rip my anal walls, something which is dangerous and can be very painful. Despite the pain, I highly recommend this butt plug, but only to the VERY advanced (aka expert) and very patient user. I was a little to ambitious when I bought it when I was still relatively new at anal play. It is like when you go to a buffet and put way too much food on your plate, except for this goes in the other hole.

I can get past the first two ribs, and it feels absolutely wonderful. I bought this one so I could use it when I wanted to feel "filled", and to say the least, it does it's job done. I'm going to continue and try, but much more carefully. I have found that dildos can have similar thicknesses, but since they aren't ribbed, they can work much better at producing the "filled" effect.

Even after three years it has held up surprisingly well... The outer material does seem to be detaching from the stronger inner material now though. Doesn't hinder the pleasure at all though, just might eventually wear out to the point it does.

A suction cup would make this much better because then you could use it in the tub without worrying about it slipping, something that can be dangerous with something this big.

Luckily, Doc Johnson makes a non "rippled" version of the Royal...The Classic Butt Plug Royal is slightly smaller in diameter, so might be easier to make it get up in there. Hopefully I'll get to try one of them so I can directly compare them better.
