Plush is Right!

The Plush Intermediate is one of those toys that was on my wishlist for a long time, years actually. I quickly went up the ranks of material safety and so this toy went to the bottom of the wishlist. But there was always something about the shape and color that made me want it. So with the help of Eden Points, I figured, what the hell? For the price, this is a really nice toy. It has some flaws though. While this does say intermediate, I would not recommend it for those who feel they are ready to move up from a "beginner" toy without having tried the traditional plug shape first. It was pretty easy for me, but even the last bulb caused a bit of pain. It is an excellent plug for those who like suction cups though. This one is super strong!

The futurotic material is VERY plush, just like the name suggests. It might be too plush actually. It is very flexible, and to some, might be considered as floppy. Futurotic has a smell that is faintly of plastic. It is strongest when it is new and will decrease with time. It does retain other smells though, so use a condom. It also smart to use a condom because while this is a mixture of PVC and silicone it is very porous. Good news is that it is phthalates and latex free making it safe for those with allergies or sensitivities.

The surface has a considerable amount of drag to it. I would not attempt putting this in any hole without lubricant. It also collects a lot of lint and other dust like particles, so make sure to rinse before every use.

The Plush Intermediate has three elongated bulbs. The entire probe is about 5 1/2" long, 5" of that being insertable. There are nicely graduated with the first being the smallest and shortest.

Bulb 1. 1 1/4" tall x 4" in circumference
The neck between the first and second bulb relaxes to a circumference of 3".

Bulb 2. 1 1/2" tall x 4 3/4" in circumference. This is the longest of the bulbs.
Th neck between the second and third bulb relaxes to a circumference of 3 1/2"

Bulb 3. 1 3/8" tall x 5" in circumference. This is of course, the thickest of the bulbs.
The neck is different. It is taller and doesn't relax as much as the others. It only relaxes to 4 1/4" around.

The graduation of the bulbs and the relaxation between them is great except for the last relaxation which is slightly too large in my opinion. It is too large for what the bulb preceding it is.

The base is about 3" across and has a hallow underside with a hole that goes into the last bulb. It makes the last bulb even plusher and harder to insert. The hole in the bottom is great for putting a bullet into and it will make the last bulb easier to insert since it adds a bit of rigidity. The material also transfer vibrations extremely well. I think that there might be a reason for the much thicker relaxation after the final bulge. This could be used in a harness, although, I don't think it would work all that well since it is a bit floppy.

The bottom is also a suction cup and a VERY good one at that. This probe probably has the best suction cup I have ever seen. Without even purposefully sticking it to a flat surface I set it on, it takes effort to pull off! If you push it down onto a flat surface I need TWO hands to take it off if I am pulling it from a top. No joke, you could use this in your exercise routine too!

The design is not discreet. It is pretty obvious what it is. The baby blue color is very pretty though!

It was harder to insert the Plush Intermediate than other plugs I have because it is so soft. You really need to use two hands to guide it in. Once the first bulb is in, the rest are easy. The last relaxation section, after the third bulb, feels too big to me. My anal sphincters would not relax around it. I think this is because they were not stretched widely enough prior to this relaxation. Otherwise, it felt great while in, but it did not feel as large as other toys I have of the same size and firmer material.

The suction cup is awesome! I never really utilized a suction cup of any of the toys I have. While thrusting isn't easy, it was still fun to sort of tug and bounce the toy while it was stuck to the side of the tub or a table.

I love to use silicone based lubricants with anal toys, but this one can only be used with water based. Silicone and oil will eat the material. Because it is porous, I use a condom. If you don't and even if you do, make sure to wash with warm water and anti-bacterial soap. I would use a fragranced soap since the material retains the smell of ass or condom. Materials this porous can mold easily. Make sure to let it dry completely before putting it away. When storing, make sure it doesn't touch other jelly like materials. They could melt together.

The packaging is a simple plastic clam shell. It is not a whole lot larger than the toy. There is a paper insert that gives some information, but not a lot, about the toy. It is good for storage since it keeps the material away from other toys and lint.

I am giving the Plush Intermediate 3 stars. I debated giving it 4 for a while and would give it 3 1/2 if I could. I am giving it 3 due to the material being a bit too plush and porous. The last bulb doesn't relax enough either. The suction cup is awesome though! The shape is nice as well. I also like that I can add a bullet. I wanted to try the advanced version too, but after this, I removed it from my wishlist.
