Love pacifier advanced - butt plug discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by GenderSexplorations

The Love Pacifier Advanced is designed to be an anal plug, and it serves that purpose splendidly. This plug is ideal for intermediate to advanced users, as it is too large for most aspiring anal adventurers. This toy can be worn both during sexual situations or while doing daily tasks such as hanging around the house. Or, if you're really bold, when going out. This plug will provide some slight p-spot stimulation for the male-bodied persons looking into it. There is some difficulty inserting it due to the flexibility of the neck, but with a little effort, it becomes easy. The ring seems large enough that it should be very difficult to lose, but take care to keep track of it in any case.

The Love Pacifier Advanced is a neat little silicone plug. It has no real smell or taste. In terms of texture, it is smooth to the touch but slightly matte. There is a slight give to the material due to the nature of it being silicone. I would say the pliability of the material makes this toy good for both beginners or advanced users. However, the size may be a bit much for true beginners to anal play.

The shape is comfortable and the bulb sits nicely within the body. It stays in place comfortably over long periods thanks to the length of the neck. The only problem with the design is the manufacturing ridge that runs down the center of the toy. This may, for some individuals, be slightly uncomfortable during insertion.

As for size, the bulb is 1.5" in diameter at its widest point. The insertable length is 2.75". This size is good for intermediate to advanced users, but again, is probably too much for beginners. For beginning users who are looking for this type of toy, I would recommend the Love Pacifier Beginner, a smaller version of this toy.

This toy is fairly discreet while being worn, but it is relatively obvious what it is when not being worn. Therefore, I would not recommend packing this toy if you think your bags may be searched. Nor would I recommend going through a body scanner with this toy inserted. That would just be awkward.

This plug is very comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time. You can move, sit, or stand without discomfort. The length of the neck also helps to make it very comfortable. However the flexibility of the neck can make it slightly difficult to insert, and you must press on the bulb to insert it. The ring shape of the base is more comfortable than other comparable anal plugs, and sits comfortably between the cheeks. Additionally, the silicone material warms up to body temperature quickly.

The only real down-side to this toy is the seam. It can be rather uncomfortable or scratchy at times. But this is only a minor discomfort and does not really take away from its usability once the plug is in place. I suppose you could file it down very carefully with a nail file.

The Love Pacifier Advanced is a neat little silicone plug. Thanks to the nature of it being silicone, it is nonporous, and therefore very easy to clean. To clean a silicone product, wash it with toy cleaner or antibacterial soap and water. To sterilize a silicone product, place it in the top rack of the dishwasher, wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution, or boil it in water for five minutes.

Silicone can attract lint very easily when being stored, so I recommend storing it in either a little plastic Ziploc bag or a non-linting storage bag. As for lubricants, silicone is compatible with water-based and oil-based lubricants. Do not use silicone-based lubricants with silicone toys.

The Love Pacifier Advanced comes in a clear plastic bag contained within a cardboard box. The box advertises the product name, brand name (California Exotic Novelties), that it is 'angled for pleasure,' and that it is phthalates-free. It advertises that the picture on the box is 'actual size,' however, the product is slightly smaller than the picture. There is a noticeable difference when compared. This box is not particularly good for storage, nor is it good for gifting.
