Ryder - butt plug discontinued by Tantus - review by Paladin Fantasys

My anal sex education curriculum has been provided (in order of experience) by, Lelo Bob (butt plug/P-spot), Nexus G-Rider (vibrating plug/P-spot), and Tantus Curve (pegging).

Today class resumes with Tantus Ryder. It is my first true plug. The Bob and G-rider can be used as plugs, but their more direct purpose is prostate massage.

Immediate impressions are that the plug portion of the Ryder is very similar in volume to the G-Rider, but the Ryder's silicone is much more flexible. And it is this flexibility, together with it's shape that make it very easy to insert. First insertion was accomplished without Bob warm-up.

About half an hour after class started, the edges of the base seemed to be causing some chafing.

Silicone! Lovely, squishy, semi-soft, smooth, silicone. It is squishier than Bob, much more so than G-Rider, it feels immediately sensual once inside. While they are both also silicone toys, Bob takes some manipulation to get a similar feeling. G-Rider provides a different more aggressive experience. Ryder is pure mmmm...luscious.

The base is extremely flexible and soft in your hands, but after sitting for a while, Ryder sucks in a-bit making the base a C-shape, resulting in some jabbing of the edges into soft tissue. Working a little lube on the four corners makes it bearable so far, but we're only about an hour in.

Ryder's flexibility and shape make it ridiculously easy to insert given its size. Perhaps it isn't quite for the beginner, but I'm not that experienced, and I think I could have started with this plug. The Bob was plenty for first time use, however, I was craving bigger even before the second experience.

The base is almost too soft and flexible, it almost drew up inside. Removal after a little over an hour, required carefully getting fingers underneath what little of the base was still outside the anus, being careful not to push it farther (or all the way) in.

What was causing the continued irritation was some excess material along the edges of the base near the middle below the shaft. It tapers thin and sawingly (word that I just made up). I'm going to try to shave it off and see if that helps.

The irritation causing, excess material had me end the class session before attempting any thrusting, though I think there will be plenty pleasure to be had in that area.

Ryder's soft, squishy shape has a simple luxurious feel perfect for extended wear, however the longevity of use is thwarted by the imperfections and inadequacies of its base.

Never use silicone lube with silicone toys.

Immediately upon arrival, while giving it the first visual inspection out of doors, you could see the dust and pollen being pulled onto it like a magnet. Normal silicone behavior, though a bit more aggressive than any of my other less jelly like silicone toys.

I put the Ryder through an hour soak in anti-bacterial soap and water solution. Immediately after first use (water-based lube), it received an anti-bacterial soap scrubbing followed by 1-hr anti-bacterial soap and water soak.

A quick scrub before each use to remove collected dust particles will be sufficient, followed by routine soaking described above will keep the Ryder plug pleasing for a very long time.

It sure would be nice to have one slightly longer and with a rocker base like the G-rider.
