I am new to the world of anal toys, so this seemed like a safe bet. You get three different shapes/textures to choose from, for about the same price as most of the individually-sold silicone anal toys on the market. Plus, they are silicone, so they are totally easy to sterilize.

Pros
Silicone, waterproof, 3 different styles to choose from, decent price
Cons
Can get uncomfortable towards the base, not ideal for all-day wear
This set is designed for beginners, looking to venture into anal play. Personally, I have no experience with anal toys, but have recently decided to get some. I wasn't sure where to begin, but this kit was silicone, which was a HUGE plus. Also, it includes 3 different shapes and they slightly vary in size, for around the same price as some of the individually-sold silicone anal toys on the market for beginners. Basically, you're getting three for the price of one, so you can get a feel of what you like in terms of anal toys for a reasonable price. I would think that more advanced users wouldn't get much out of these, as they aren't terribly long or wide. I'm not entirely sure about how great they are for all-day wear. They are waterproof, so they can be used in a shower/tub/pool without any issue, as they have no battery-operated parts or motors. If you wanted to travel with these, because of their petite size it would likely not be a problem.
I have heard that these are nice for an intro to p-spot play, but I do not have a p-spot so I cannot speak personally on their effectiveness in that department. The size and light-weight of these toys makes them great for people totally new to anal play, or those trying gently to work themselves up to bigger toys or anal sex.
When I first took these out of the package they had no odor at all. As these plugs are silicone, they are totally non-porous, which is just fantastic. I'm not sure about harness compatibility, as I do not own a harness. They are very smooth and have a velvety texture to them, not totally sticky like some silicone toys. However, as with most silicone, I am sure they will pick up a bit of lint. Due to the texture, you will want to use some water-based lubricant with these to prevent any uncomfortable drag; though lube should always be used for any kind of anal play to prevent any sort of damage or discomfort! These toys are very flexible, which makes them much more comfortable for beginner use.
These are not exactly discreet looking. They don't look phallic or anything, but if I saw them sitting out I would know them to be some sort of sex toy. The pink one has a bit of a bubbly shape to it, with three lumpy shape and a tapered tip. For me, this one is a bit intimidating for now. It has a bit much texture for me, I'm not quite ready for it yet. This bubbly pink plug is about 3 3/4" long.
The black one has a little nubby tip, and almost is the shape of a very tiny banana. I have seen in other reviews that this one would make a nice p-spot stimulator, because of the shape/tip, but I do not have a p-spot so I cannot say for sure. The black plug has an insertable length of about 3 1/2".
The last plug is a light purple color, and is the longest of the plugs, with an insertable length of about 4 1/2". It is narrow, which makes it less intimidating for beginners.
These aren't very big, so I would think they would be okay for travel.
Each of these plugs is about a little bit wider than a finger, so that definitely makes the size great for those of us who are new to anal play. Again, because I do not have a harness I am not sure about how well their work with a harness. However, they do have the flared base that I would guess would make them okay for using in a harness. These would be nice for couples looking into partner play with anal toys. If you wanted to give your partner control over this toy, you could do that if you were comfortable with it.
This set is of plugs are first toys in my collection to have suction cups on them. The base of each of these plugs is able to suction to flat sufraces (wall, shower, wherever...) and you will have to pull to get it off. Removing it from a surface that it is suctioned to will make a suction sound that could be heard through a door, but it's not a sound that I would personally investigate or wonder about.
These plugs are not difficult to figure out at all, pretty self-explanatory. They have no function other than insertion, or any thrusting or rocking on them that you would be in control of. They do not vibrate or have any settings or anything, but that is fine for a beginner anal toy. I am actually more comfortable with the fact that they don't vibrate or do anything like that.
Because these are silicone, they should not be used with silicone lube! I know that a lot of people seem to prefer silicone-based lubricants for anal use, BUT silicone toys and silicone lubricants should NOT mix! Water-based lube is best for use with silicone toys. Silicone is totally non-porous, which makes me feel especially safe in using it for anal play. These plugs can be washed with an antibacterial soap and water, cleaned toy cleaner, or boiled for up to 3 minutes to totally disinfect them. Because they are silicone they can also be disinfected with a 10% bleach solution and then rinsed with water, which is ideal if you intend to share them with a partner.
They are pretty easy to store. You shouldn't store them with jelly, TPR, or TPE toys as it could damage them if the materials interact. you could keep them in a bag to separate them from other toys. I've heard from some members on the community that sometimes silicone anal toys can pick up a bit of a smell, similar to the way Tupperware picks up red from tomato products. The toys are not necessarily unclean, they just retain a bit of a smell. If this is a concern, they can be stored in a Ziploc bag. Right now, I'm totally new to this and I feel a bit weird about letting my vibrators and other toys/gear mix around with any sort of anal toy. So, I might end up getting a pouch specifically for storing this set, though I'm sure I will keep that pouch in a box with the rest of my toys.
The packaging does have some info on the back that is useful in terms of care and maintenance, as you can see in the photo above. It is a minimal plastic bag that is easy to open, and it can be recycled or thrown away. However, I would not want to bother re-using the package for storage. It is transparent and has 'Silicone Anal Beginner Kit' on the front in bold black lettering, so it is pretty far from discreet!
For me, these feel about as comfortable as I think a beginner could feel using an anal toy. I find that a bit of clitoral stimulation beforehand, and even during insertion, helps to relax and makes it more comfortable to use them. For now, the pruple is the easiest and most comfortable for me to use of the three. I can move around with it inserted and not feel totally uncomfortable. The black one is a little uncomfortable for me, I've tried it once but think I will get used to using the purple one before I can comfortably move on to the black one. The pink one has so much shape and texture that I am too intimidated to even try using that one just yet. I know that I would prefer a smoother shape to anything so textured and shapely. Though, the tapered tips they have definitely help with inserting any of them and with getting used to anal play in general. The base of the toy is where I have a problem. Something about the thickness or shape at the end just above the base of it makes it uncomfortable to wear. So, for that reason, I think this could be uncomfortable for long-term wear, if you intend to try wearing it all day. I should add that I noticed after cleaning the purple and black plugs that they all have a raised seem that runs along them vertically. I can feel the seams when I have the plugs in my hands, so I am wondering if that even so slight raised up seam could be affecting the comfort of these for me. I know that the little nub towards the base of the black one is the thing that makes it most uncomfortable for me, because it just gives me a pulling sensation and feels unpleasant right at the base; that nub towards the base is right where it is held in so it makes it really uncomfortable.
This set already has helped me get an idea of what I should look for in terms of anal toys, and how I should work up to them, etc. Soon I will probably order another silicone plug that is smooth and flexible without a lot of shape to it that I could wear for longer. I'm thinking of going for the Pleasure #1.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it2 months after original review
This is great for beginners, I would definitely recommend it if you are looking into anal play, or trying to work your way up to sex with your partner. It's silicone, which really makes it great. There are three different styles, all of which are fairly small and easy to use. It did not take long to get accustomed to each of them, they are a great starting point for any beginner.
