We selected this toy as a way to gradually introduce me to anal play--something I was incredibly hesitant to venture into. We ended up picking this product out because the tapered nature made it less intimidating for me and I definitely saw the vibrations as a bonus.

It certainly served its purpose. This toy is, in all regards, a beginner's item. Someone who has experience with anal play and who feel relatively comfortable with it will likely see this product as coming up short. For a beginner, though, it's worth looking into.

As mentioned before, the toy is tapered--it has a small rounded point and gets wider before narrowing again at the base. For most users, the width of the toy will never really be a challenge. As someone new to anal, this has been a relief. It's easy to slide it in (with or without the help of a partner) without much pressure.

Tush Teaser's vibrations are controlled by a dial, but once the toy is fully inserted the vibrations are incredibly mild, even when turned all the way up. The vibrations are slightly more noticeable as the toy is being inserted, though, which seems to make that part of the process even easier. Overall, though, the vibration is nice...but if you're looking for something relatively intense, you won't find it here. (This could certainly be partially due to the jelly material).

Keep in mind that this toy is made from a porous material, and thus can't be sterilized and shouldn't be shared without use of a condom to cover it. This aspect is certainly a downside--as it would be with any anal toy.

Additionally, this isn't a toy that could be used during sex. It really doesn't stay in place on its own and would pop out easily. In our situation, we use the toy first prior to moving on to actual anal sex, allowing for a more comfortable experience.
