Couture seduction - vibrating anal plug discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by lovellwales

When I bought this toy, I was really looking for something to use in butt play, both as a beginner toy and as something to use to "warm up" for anal sex with my boyfriend. It definitely does the job and does it well. It might just be me, but I can't start out just using this toy, I have to work up to it a little and start off with something smaller, like a finger or smaller toy. Although I specifically got it for butt play, this toy can be used to stimulate the G-spot and clitoris, or it can be used for prostate stimulation.

This toy is made of silicone, which is perfect for me because it is soft, scent-free, and one of the most hygienic materials you can get. The smoothness of the silicone makes it perfect for butt play, and is nice for G-spot use for girls who can be a little dry. The material is just so soft and doesn't grab your skin like some other materials do. I think this toy is good for anyone, beginner or advanced, since it has multiple functions and multiple vibration speeds. It is a very safe and comfortable material.

The design of this toy is great; it's not too long, not too short, not too thick, not too thin, and it has a flared base. This toy definitely works for me, as I like to use it for both butt play and clitoral stimulation. The size is probably more for beginners, but that depends on how long and thick you like your toys. I think it's simple to hide away; it can be placed back in its box or in a toy bag. I just put mine back in the box after I wash it, and then put it in the nightstand drawer. The vibrations make little noise. Even on the highest setting you can barely hear it across the room if it is under some blankets. I don't travel much, just little road trips, and it's easy to bring this toy with me if I want to. It's not the biggest thing, so it's simple to pack into a suitcase or even carry in a bigger purse.

The vibrations can be strong enough to make my hand numb, so I say A++ for this toy. All of the controls are are in the little remote. You hit the power button and it turns on, then you can toggle through all of the speeds and patterns with the button that has a little wave on it. When you're done, just push the power button again. I like the climbing pattern the best for butt play (a solid vibration is boring back there), and the medium power vibration for G-spot stimulation because it's just the right strength. Like I said before, the vibrations make little noise and even on the highest setting you can barely hear it across the room from under some blankets. This toy is definitely waterproof, and I've used it a few times in the shower. I wouldn't recommend completely submerging the controller in water on purpose, but it's fine if you do. (I'm a worry wart about ruining my favorite toys.)

Since it's made of silicone, all you really need to do is wipe it with a baby wipe, or soap it up with some hand soap and rinse. I've never had trouble getting this toy clean. After I clean my toy, I just put it back in its box and put it in the nightstand drawer. One tip that is very important: you never use this toy with a silicone-based lube. It will degrade the material and make it sticky, mushy, and gross, and it will be garbage. Water-based lubes are perfectly safe, though.

The toy comes in a clear plastic box with obvious markings that show it's a sex toy, so I wouldn't leave the box out. It fits into a plastic bubble sleeve (where it's molded to the shape of the toy, sorry I'm not good at explaining that), that is easy to pop it back into to store it. There's instructions on how to access the different functions and how to turn on/off the toy, and the rest is self-explanatory. I think the toy itself would be a nice gift, but I don't think the packaging is the best for sending a surprise gift to someone in the mail. If it is sent as a gift, be sure to let the person know they'll be receiving an adult toy if they want to keep it discreet.
