"Is that a stake for killing ass vampires?" That's what my partner asked me when I opened the packaging and set this out on my desk. The same properties that would make it great for killing ass vampires-- the long, slow taper and helpful base-- are what also makes it safe to put in your butt.

The plug is relatively small, but I wouldn't quite call it "mini". It's almost 5" long, and over 1" in diameter at its widest insertable part. In the world of anal toys, it is quite small and therefore suitable for those new to butt play.

The vibrator is, as far as I can tell, a non-removable bullet-- the one-speed kind with a clicky push-button on the bottom and runs on 3 watch batteries. I have about five of them rattling around in the bottom of my toy box. The one embedded in this toy is easy to operate, and the end screws off for access to the battery compartment.

I was pleased to find that Cal Exotics included not one, but *two* full sets of watch batteries. This is the seventh vibrator of theirs that I've reviewed, and none of them had batteries included until now.

The material is soft and bendy, which encourages slow insertion. Unlike something harder and more rigid, you really need to take your time and pay close attention to get this plug in. Which, if you are a beginner, is something you should be doing anyway. I am more intermediate, and I enjoyed the slow insertion process and the stretching feeling that came with it.

Once in, the Mini Vibra Tease reaches a nice width. However, because it doesn't really taper back down, this plug just won't stay in. It requires near constant attention, either from the wearer or a partner. It can easily be used for thrusting, but even the vibrations alone feel great. I'd describe the level of vibrations as being just right for anal play; they are noticeable but not overwhelming. And they feel great.

Unfortunately, this toy isn't made of the most hygienic material for anal play. The TPR material is porous and can't be sterilized, so once you put this in your butt it becomes a butt-only toy (unless you put a condom on it). You can (and should) wash it between uses with mild soap and warm water, or even with a toy cleaner. This toy claims to be waterproof, so I wouldn't worry too much about getting the bullet wet while doing a thorough cleaning job.

While I did enjoy playing with this toy, it is not going to make it onto my list of favorite anal toys due to the TPR material and the fact that it just won't stay in. However, for the price, I'd say the Vibra Mini Tease is definitely worth it to those wanting a safe way to experiment with anal play.
