When it comes to anal play, I was a rookie by almost every imagination. The only thing that I have done before that would be considered anal play is my boyfriend would put his thumb in my ass while having sex with me from behind. When he kept pushing to get this Little Flirt butt plug, I was very nervous. The only reason we agreed to get it is because I owed it to him from a long time ago, and he finally called me out on it. When it first came in the mail, it looked bigger than I thought it would. I guess by butt plug standards, it is small, but I thought it would be a little slimmer. The first thing I noticed was how soft and smooth the silicone is. Also, the shape is a little different than the traditional plug, the fattest part being in the middle instead of right before the end. The color we received (purple) was also visually appealing.

After some convincing, I agreed to let him put it in me. It was while he had me blindfolded and bound on all fours. We used some Durex warming lubricant that we have had for a while, and it seemed to do the job. At first it was tough to get in, as one would expect for someone who has never done anything like this. I am not going to lie; it did hurt a little going in, especially when you get really close to the fattest part. It did go all the way in, but it did come out once, probably because of the use of lubricant makes that task sort of hard. But it also had a good feeling to it at the same time. I liked the feeling of that extra pressure while he played with my pussy. Once we were done, cleanup was easy. Just ran it under hot water and washed it off with soap. The material is ranked 10 out of 10 in safety, so clean up is easy. You can also boil it with some bleach, as stated on the product page.
[Editor's note: do not boil toy in bleach - either boil toy for 3 minutes or wipe it down with a 10% bleach 90% water solution. Boiling bleach will make your house smell very bleachy.]

Overall, I would recommend this for most beginners. It does feel good once you get used to it. If you are a little afraid, maybe try something smaller like beads, because you can gradually increase how much you use, as opposed to a plug, which is almost all or nothing.

Like I said before, we were in a BDSM situation when we used it. I was very nervous but it turned out good in the long run. It was definitely cool to just feel it, but not see it, go in me.
