Mini vibra tease - vibrating anal plug discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by sarahbear

My Mini Vibra Tease arrived in a basic clam-shell package. Included was the clear version of the plug, the silver plated bullet and six watch batteries. The bullet takes three of the watch batteries, so you get an extra set.

Upon opening the package I first noticed that there weren't any unpleasant odors. In fact, there doesn't really seem to be a smell at all. I was surprised by the texture of the toy. It's made of TPR. I've only got one other TPR anal toy and it's very firm. This toy reminds me of jelly because of how squishy and flexible it is. If you're a fan of the texture of jelly but are concerned about the safety of phthalates, this plug is a good option for you.

I didn't taste this toy because it's made of TPR and it's a butt plug. I figure that since it's porous and can't be fully sterilized that after I've used it I wouldn't want to stick it in my mouth anyway so there's no purpose in figuring out if it tastes good. Because of it being porous you'll want to use condoms for sharing between partners and holes. It's likely too slender to feel pleasurable for vaginal insertion, but if you are interested in trying it that way be sure to protect yourself from infections.

The plug is about 4 3/4" long with the bullet inserted in the end. The slow taper starts out about the width of a pen. After about 3 inches it reaches it's widest point, which is about 1 1/8" in diameter. This provides a very gentle and easy insertion for anal beginners.

Since the material is so flexible you may need both hands to insert the plug. There also isn't really an indention under the widest point of the plug, like many other plugs have, so it slides back out of your butt very easily. This can be frustrating for solo use, so you may want to try sitting on it to keep it in place. If you're using this with a partner you can have your partner hold it in while you masturbate. If you plan on using this during sex you will likely need to experiment with positions that would allow you to either sit on the plug or give your partner access to holding it in (like sitting positions, doggy style or spooning).

The plug can be used with or without the silver plated bullet. The bullet is your basic watch battery powered, single setting, push button bullet. It starts out pretty strong but quickly looses its juice. After about 10 minutes of use, it overheats and shuts off. This can be very frustrating if you enjoy the vibrations more than the simple filling sensation of having a butt plug inserted. There is a small o-ring around the battery compartment of the bullet that makes it waterproof, so you could use this in the tub or shower if you were interested in doing that.

TPR is porous and can not be sterilized. It can be washed with antibacterial soap and water or a toy cleaner, then rinsed and patted dry with a towel. You'll want to be sure to remove the bullet and clean the hole it goes into carefully. Since the Mini Vibra Tease is waterproof there are no special precautions needed when cleaning.

We had some trouble using this toy. The pointy end bothered my husband when I was trying to insert it, even though I had it lined up with his asshole. He wound up having to put it in himself while I massaged his thighs to relax him. After he got it in place, I held it in and turned on the bullet.

He said the sensation was enjoyable and began masturbating while I stroked his balls and massaged his perineum. After about ten minutes the vibration completely stopped. I tried turning the bullet on and off again, only to get a brief buzz before it stopped working again. I asked my husband if he wanted me to take it out, but he said it still felt nice to have the plug in. We left it in and he continued.

I turned the plug off and held it in place as I continued to stimulate his perineum with one hand. Once he was ready to cum I turned the bullet back on so that he was able to enjoy the vibrations during his orgasm.

It was a little frustrating to use since the bullet shut off before you really even got to enjoy it. It's almost necessary to have two people to use this toy because of having to turn the bullet on and off during use.
