I purchased this product because I hadn't used a butt plug before, but I definitely wanted to try one. I wanted to go with something skinny enough that it wasn't intimidating, but large enough that it could be easily felt. Although I enjoy this product, I might purchase a slightly larger one in the near future.

When I opened it up, it did have a bit of a smell, but that can be expected because of the material. I just gave it a good wash and it was already smelling better, so the smell does go away with use. If the smell bothers you, wait for a while to use it, and wash it a couple of times. That should do the trick. The width is big enough so that the toy will stay in place, but small enough that a beginner like me can use it with comfort.

Make sure to use lube or wet the product before use and be as relaxed as possible. It might help to have someone else put it in for you if you're not used to doing it yourself. You could definitely use this with a partner, especially if your boyfriend enjoys anal, but you're not as okay with it. This toy would be a good compromise or a nice bridge to anal if you're more adventurous. If you're having trouble getting it in comfortably, either try a smaller product or use more lube, whichever you are comfortable with. You can always start using this product again when you are more comfortable.

The product was easy to wash after use. I used soap and water, but if you have an appropriate cleaner for the material, use that. Because of its size, it's easy to discreetly store.

The first thing I did once I purchased this was use it when I went on a date with my boyfriend. He bought the toy for me, but I figured he would appreciate knowing how well it worked. Honestly, it felt really great just walking around with it in. Perhaps this isn't the best idea for everyone, but I definitely enjoyed it.

It seems I was overly optimistic about the smell of this product. After it stunk up my dresser, I've allowed it to stink up my trash can. Also, I've decided that although the size was a good introduction to anal play, I'm ready for something with a little more girth. I'm looking to upgrade to the Ryder.
