I'm glad I own this toy if only because sometimes I don't feel like preparing myself for a large plug/dildo and sometimes I also don't want direct, pressured prostate stimulation. Sometimes it's nice just to have the sensation of something inside me. If you feel that way sometimes, I think this toy is worth it. It has the added benefit of being easy to spot in the dark, in case you like to have your fun with the lights off.

Pros
Flexible yet firm, slim, stays put, glows in the dark
This anal plug is best used as a teaser. Put it in, probe with it, hold it in with a thong and go out to dinner, whatever. Its base will ensure it won't get lost, and its "give" will make sure you get stimulated without discomfort.
Whether male or female, if you enjoy anal stimulation, this toy will provide it without being too much of a presence.
I won't promise it's the greatest of prostate stimulators, or that it will make you feel "full". It's about the size of a finger (the probe part is 1" at the middle and about 3 and 5/8 inches long, not counting the base) and I'd recommend using it whenever you'd like to have a finger inside you but just don't have a spare hand.
The material is, as described, glow-in-the-dark. From what I can tell it's pretty faint; about the same glowy-ness as glow-in-the-dark condoms.
It feels like a regular silicone toy on the outside, but claims to be made from "Sil-A-Gel", which promises to be "antibacterial", "non-toxic", "latex free" and "cadmium free". After a bit of research, I discovered that Sil-A-Gel is a Doc Johnson trademark for a type of PVC. Initially, I was worried about that, particularly for an anal toy (due to how PVC has a tendency to be porous). However, after using the toy, I found that simply washing it as usual (mild soap and warm water) was enough to clean it and remove any smells.
Out of the package, the plug definitely has that "new sex toy" smell. It's a little off-putting to me, but after I washed it before use a lot of the smell went away.
The plug is more flexible than other plugs I've had and used. Though to be fair, I've mostly had glass or metal toys. It has a soft-ish core that allows it to bend and move if you apply pressure. The core is visible from the bottom of the plug and looks gel-like.
The outside of the toy is smooth and non-textured, and I couldn't feel any kind of seam. All in all, it feels pretty good.
I think I like this shape/design more than I thought I would. I've been used to Aneros and steel plugs, so I was unfamiliar with the feel of the "standard" shape butt plug. In the end (no pun intended), I think I really like this. It's small, it's not painful in any way, and I didn't feel stretched or anything.
It is definitely slimmer and less "filling", as I've mentioned before. I don't think it's a bad thing. Though the plug doesn't provide a tremendous amount of prostate stimulation, it still gives the sensation of having something inside of you, which myself and others definitely prefer sometimes.
I would imagine that unless you're really into being stuffed, this would be a fun toy to have in your arsenal for those times when you just need something inside you but don't want to bother with something larger or too specifically shaped. This is probably also pretty good for beginners, and people who are interested in using a toy or a plug and have so far only experienced the occasional finger or two.
The plug doesn't have a suction cup or anything, but due to the "plug" shape of the insertable part, it stayed in pretty well. I don't think there's too much to comment on here; the toy did everything it promised to do. It performed its duties as a butt plug just as well as it fulfilled its promise to glow in the dark. It is, as described, slim and it stimulated me as I thought it should without ever becoming uncomfortable.
This toy is compatible with both water and silicone based lubricants (according to my research). I suppose this is good considering it's an anal toy. I only use water-based lubricants, so the added benefit of being silicone lube safe was lost for me.
It should be cleaned with mild soap and water or with an anti-bacterial toy cleaner.
I'm going to keep storing it in the original box until I get specific toy bags or finally finish building the toy chest I keep promising myself I'll finish.
Follow-up commentaryI don't like it anymore2 months after original review
After a while, I've realized that this plug is really intended for beginners. Upon much more than just a first impression, I've come to the conclusion that as a prostate stim, it's not very good (not very directed, too small) and as a plug, it's only really good if you are a beginner or don't like too much stimulation. It's too flexible to be able to feel it much when you move around, and it's not big enough to make someone with anal play feel "full".
If you're new to the idea of anal play, this is a pretty decent buy. Otherwise, spend your money on something more up your alley, so to speak.
