Doc Johnson's silicone Mood Naughty Small Plug is meant to be used as an introduction to anal play that is safe for long duration use. The design allows it to be worn out and about. By the end of the day even you might forget you have it in. It also makes for a spicy addition to vaginal sex or manual stimulation, adding an additional feeling of fullness for female-bodied people during intercourse and an increased tightness for male-bodied partners. You can even warm it up, use it in the tub, or toss it in a bag for travel.

It comes in two colors, black and pink. This makes it suited to both men and women, as well as anyone outside the usual gender binary. After all, everyone has a butt! Everyone has the right to learn how to utilize that pleasure.

Unfortunately, some people who have prior experience with anal play may not enjoy this product, as itss slight size and minimalist design lessens potential stimulation. Beginners should welcome these two points, and the fact it is sold separately from a full plug kit allows for experimentation without making a full-on commitment to a booty toy collection.

Note: Do not use this toy for vaginal or clitoral stimulation without a proper cleaning first. I'm not sure why anyone would try to do that, but it still needs saying. The bacteria from your rectum and the flora of a vagina are not friends.

As far as materials go, it doesn't get much better than silicone. One of a few to get a perfect ten safety rating, it is easy to care for and helps repel bacteria. With a quick boil it can be sterilized, allowing for use with different people and partners. I noted very little drag on this toy, and most experienced drag can be mitigated with a proper amount of lubricant.

The subsequent section titled "Maintenance" will cover the exact nature of how to care for this toy with more breadth.

It has no other texture or other materials besides the silicone. Doc Johnson kept this one simple and effective, with just the right amount of give in all the right places. I did notice a faint smell on opening, but nothing unpleasant. Take care to wash your toy properly after use, because smell retention from anal play is possible (as I unfortunately discovered).

It is simultaneously flexible and smooth while still retaining a necessary amount of firmness. The handle portion of the toy has the most give, while the tapered head is sturdy enough to allow for entry. One huge plus of this particular model is that it has no seams. Now instead of feeling a line run down your sphincter during insertion, you can only sense the velvet-like quality of silicone.

The design is non-intimidating. This tiny pink plug can fit in the palm of your hand, and is only as wide across as one finger. On measurement I found the dimensions to be:

Length: 3 and a quarter inches
Insertion Length: 3 inches
Circumference: 3 and 3/4ths inches to 1 and 3/4ths inches
Length (handle): 3 inches

No worries about this guy getting lost in your backdoor. The flared base has more than an adequate size to prevent anything from going amiss. I was originally confused by the design of the handle, as I wondered why it was shaped like a pickaxe. As it turns out, this is an ergonomic design feature, not just stylish flare. The two ends follow the natural contours of your butt, allowing it to sit more naturally.

It is small enough to be used during double penetration of the anus and the vagina, without discomfort.

As far as butt plugs go, this one is a ideal for a novice. It inserts easily with lube, stays in place and is not at all uncomfortable. After several hours of wear it can no longer be felt, in the same way that after wearing a watch for a long time you stop noticing it. That being said, it does get you used to the feeling of something being in your rectum.

However, it does not have much of a stretching effect. If you buy this toy with a plan to move up to larger objects I would recommend an anal kit instead, or the next size up in this line (it comes in a large size as well). I would equate this toy with having a finger up your bum.

When being using alongside vaginal stimulation, it works wonders. My g-spot is not terribly sensitive, but this plug allowed for additional fullness and pressure, enhancing the experience and increasing my responsiveness. Male partners may be able to notice a change in sensation as well, though I cannot speak from experience on the matter.

One downside of this toy is that it is not long enough for p-spotting and cannot be used for thrusting. Besides just keeping it in your butt there is not much else you can do with it. Luckily, the price point of this toy allows it to get away with such a lack of alternative functions.

Obviously, it has no motor. This is not a vibrating butt plug. This makes it very easy to hide, and like kegels, you can wear them out in public without fear of getting caught. It is also safe to use in the shower, and travel-friendly.

Silicone has a reputation of being easy to care for and store, but that doesn't mean it's for everyone. You absolutely must abide by the maintenance rules this substance comes with, unless you want it to bite you in the butt.

- Do not use silicone-based lube. If you're unsure what type of lube you have because you can't decipher the ingredients list, stay on the safe side and use something else. Water-based lubes should be your go-to with this material.
- The same goes for storing this with other silicone toys. Keep them apart and in separate bags (preferably something that is lined).

Violation of either of these points will result in ruined toys and a disgusting mess. Save yourself the time (and the money) and just double-check before you get started and after you pack your toys up.

In regards to storage, other than keeping this plug apart from other toys, you're going to want to make sure it is in something that will not attract lint. You can keep down on this by making sure it is cleaned correctly before and after use, but also by avoiding materials that attract lint. It is not the brightest idea to leave this toy to roll around in the sheets or on the floor.

Now, how do you clean silicone? Here you've got a ton of options. You can use toy spray and wipes, hot soap and water,or 10% bleach solution. You can also boil it or toss it in the dishwasher. I would personally recommend you boil this toy for three minutes when you can, and and clean it with a disinfecting wipe right after use. Not only will this inhibit the growth of bacteria, it will also keep down the smell.

Remember, this this /is/ going in your arse, so the scent left behind may not be pleasant. I once used this while at my partner's house for the night. When we were done, I set it aside after rinsing it with hot water, thinking it would be fine once I got back in the morning and could cleanse it properly. That was a mistake. Even after using both spray and boiling it for 10 minutes, a smell was left behind. All I can say is that I am glad this won't be near my or my partner's face.

The Mood Naughty plugs come in a plastic form-fitting cover, with a cardboard backing. It can clearly be seen from the front, so in this way it is not discreet. However, I found it to be surprisingly classy for what the item is. No naked ladies on the display box, at least. The backside of the box has a ton of helpful information, with black dots indicating the various features and uses for the toy.

It was easy to open and close, but I would not use this for storage due to the breakable nature of plastic and cardboard. Like all silicone toys, it does best when stored separately, but this might not do the best job of it.

I purchased this down with the intention of using it just to get myself used to the feeling of something in my bum. I was weary about purchasing a full anal kit, on the off-chance that I did not want to continue use of plugs or did not enjoy it, so I thought buying a single small plug would be a better choice. I had not anticipated I would get enjoyment from this toy like I have! I envisioned it as just a stop on the road to (forgive the pun) bigger and better things and nothing more, but I turned out to be wrong.

As someone whose only experience with anal in the past was painful, I can truly say this toy re-opened my eyes to possibly of enjoyable butt play. I plan on purchasing the large size, as I already have the medium, Mood Naughty Plug.
