The Bum Buddies-Tease My Tush Intermediate Plug, from Topco sales, is a really unique butt toy. I love the shape and design of this plug because it goes in easy and comes out just as painlessly. It has a great base that is very comfortable to wear between the cheeks for a long time but can pop out in certain positions. The size is good for beginners, but entertained me, a more advanced player, as well. The silicone is a great material for temperature play, hygiene, and durability. If are a beginner to anal play don't pass this up because of the funky shape. I don't recommend it for guys looking for p-spot play though. It doesn't provide that. It was however a lot of fun to use solo, during sex, or with a partner.

This butt pawn is made of pliable yet firm silicone. Because the toy isn't very thick, it is also very flexible. The silicone is 100% cured and non-porous so it can be shared if sterilized. It is also free of phthalates and latex which makes it safe for those with allergies. Another great thing about toys of solid silicone with no additives or plastic pieces is that it can be warmed up in the microwave or cooled down in cold water for temperature play.

This is some of the nicest silicone I have ever encountered. For real! It isn't sticky AT ALL, has no smell or taste, and collects no dust or lint. It is velvety and has next to no drag. I still recommend using lubricant for anal insertion though. It reduces the chance of tearing or pain and eases insertion.

The design for this plug is ingenious really. The body is shaped like usual anal plug, but the top is elongated and has a ball end (4 3/4" long, 4 1/4" insertable length). I say this is ingenious because it helps prevent the plug from shooting all the way out of your ass. The thickest part of the plug is 4 1/4" around. This part is at the base of the plug shape where it then tapers slightly. Here is the place for the sphincter muscles to relax around ( 3 1/4" around) before it meets the also ingeniously designed base. Even the area where the sphincter muscles relax was designed with butt cheek comfort in mind. The shape is oval instead of round. The base follows this design and is very thin and long ( 1/2" x 3 1/2"). The thinness makes it great for fitting between the cheeks, and the 'longness' makes it function as a "hook handle".

Even though this plug has a unique and non-traditional shape or design, it isn't very discreet. The bright red color demands attention and if this were just laying somewhere, especially in the bedroom, it would probably be obvious. It is great for travel though. It isn't very large and since it doesn't easily collect dust, it doesn't need any special care.

I was not expecting much from this toy because it is small in circumference for a majority of the toy, but I was pleasantly surprised! Even the small ball on the top felt good. I also expected it to be hard to insert because of the flexibility. Again, I was pleasantly surprised. I had no problem inserting this with minimal lubricant and loved the feeling of the plug once it was in all the way. The base fit wonderfully between my ass and is a plug I could probably wear for longer periods of time around the house. I don't recommend it for going out though. It has a tendency to slip out sometimes.

I used this when I tested out the Cone vibrator and it stayed in nicely, but during sex, it likes to slip out in certain positions. What was cool was that my ass is apparently tight enough to keep the little ball at the end still in my ass if it starts to slip out. No embarrassing shooting ass plugs here ha ha! I would just reach around and push it back in instead of having to scramble to find it in the dark or find where it shot onto the floor.

I also liked having my partner thrust this into me. The thin base is perfect for holding securely and thrusting in and out. I wouldn't think such a small toy would be a good warm up for anal, but this was. I attribute this to the fast increase in diameter. I really am very pleased with this plug and will probably use it more than most that I currently have.

You really should use lubricant with this because of the texture, but not a lot is needed. A good water based lubricant does the trick. Just make sure to never use silicone lubricant with this toy. It will break down the gorgeous material!

To clean, you can use antibacterial soap and warm water, boil it for a few minutes, or put in the top drawer of a dishwasher. If you choose either of the last two, it will be safe for sharing with a partner. To store, pat dry first then put it back in the package or store by itself away from toys of less materials.

The packaging is a simple, snap to close, case. It is really sturdy and kind of hard to open sometimes. It is not discreet since it clearly displays the toy in front of a picture of a bubblicious booty. The back is very informative though. It explain the material and its properties as well as cautions and safety. I kept my packaging, but for those concerned about the insert, it can be thrown away.

I am so glad I took a gamble on this plug! I wanted to try something totally different and it turned out to be a real winner. This plug comes in three sizes. I would love to own the other two, the smaller, and larger one!
