One of the things that I take into consideration when I review a toy is its price. This is all tied up with material, workmanship, ease of use, and pleasure received of course, but it still matters. I'm a lot more picky with a hundred dollar toy than a ten dollar toy, and to me, that seems fair. That said, I still have to like it.

So I received the love pacifier, and I tossed it on to boil and then left it temptingly beside my bed. Shortly, I was moved to try it one night when my lover was around, so I rinsed it off and got ready. I had an orgasm (thank you sir!), drizzled lube on it like a master chef with icing, and then rolled to my side to put it in. And I pushed.

And I pushed.

And I wriggled and played around and added more lube and poked and prodded and got it halfway in and then had a very hard time getting it the rest of the way in because the dang handle was bendy.  I got it to the large part of the bulb a couple of times, but then my fingers would slide up to the neck, and it would bend, and out would pop the little toy.

Okay, I can do this. I'm a sex writer dammit; I have skills. I can bring strange men to orgasm with the power of my words alone!  Okay, roll over on to back, flail around like dying bug, shove and poke and prod, and then roll onto side again and have eureka moment. Plug slides home at last.

There was a brief moment of pain as I pushed against it and it pushed back, but then it was blessedly in. I could feel it, but I wasn't threatened by it in any way. It's not particularly large or long, and it sits just inside and sort of feels like pressure against your anus. All in all, a rather pleasurable sensation.

My lover gets rather aroused whenever I stick something in my ass, so we were fucking fairly quickly thereafter.

I could feel it back there for sure, but I wouldn't say that it added in any serious way to the pleasure I would have been having anyway. Occasionally, he or I would move in such a way that the handle was pushed upon, and I felt some extra pressure in my ass, but he didn't particularly feel any of it. Not even the handle.

I can't particularly recommend this toy because it's a generalist being sent to do a very specific job. The anal virgin won't like it because the handle's neck is mushy and it's rather sudden in its entrance. Not to mention that I basically ended up with my fingers in my ass trying to shove it in. The experienced anal player won't like it because it isn't big enough and anyone who has played anally before probably has a plug like this only with a smarter neck.

That said, once it's in, it's got great feel, and if you were the kind of person that wanted to wear a plug all day, this one would feel delicious, although you can't wear it in public under pants because the handle sticks out too far.

 All told, I think I have to give this three stars because it feels nice when it's in, but I almost want to give it two.
