As some background on my experience level with "rear entry", a couple folks in the past had tried to play, but it was very painful. With a little research, I realized that it's something you build up to and began my search for the perfect plug. I chose this plug for its small girth, ease of entry and material safety.

Material: This plug is made of 100% silicone and is a "10" on Eden's Safety Scale. It can be fully disinfected in boiling water or your dishwasher and on a day-to-day basis you should wash it with antibacterial toy soap. The material has a bit of drag to it if you are not using lube, but given it's intended purpose, you will want a lot of it! You must use water-based lube if you don't want to damage your new toy. After I air dry it, I keep it in a silk bag because it is a lint magnet.

Use: This toy has met my every expectation while in use. As a beginner, this toy is a very appropriate size. When lubed up, it is easy to insert given it's pointy tip and it gradually gets larger allowing you to accommodate it slowly and painlessly. It sounds like some reviewers have had difficulty with it staying put, but I did not find that to be the case. Whether the muscles were clenched or relaxed, the plug stayed in very nicely and even in different positions it did not come out. However, this may be because I have close to zero experience with anal play. I also noted that the toy also comes out very easily (simply grab the retrieval ring and pull..SLOWLY). I'm glad I opted for a plug instead of a probing style toy since now I can use this plug with a partner OR alone. (Given that I only see the BF once a week, it's great to have that option!!)

Experience: This toy has been a great introduction to anal play. It is painless (as long as you have enough lube) and has definitely gotten me curious about larger toys. The plug of lust is very versatile and really enhances the experience I have with any of my other toys. For me, the best way to use it with simultaneous vaginal penetration (by dildo or another person) as the two will move against one another and provide more stimulation than if the plug just sits in there. If you throw in a vibrator for external use...it is DIVINE! That being said, I would definitely recommend this to beginners as even I am starting to yearn for a larger toy (and will probably upgrade to the plug of lust - large).

This toy has gotten a hell of a lot of use and I still like it. It's held up well and it's still being used regularly. With that being said, I've started to have some of the same complaints as other reviewers, in particular that it slips out. It was great for me when I was a total beginner, but now I will be looking to buy a larger sized plug to replace this one (perhaps it's brother the Plug of Lust Large!).
