When I first got into anal toys, I jumped right into prostate massagers. The reasons are simple: quality, silicone-made, size, and back with scientific designs and rave reviews. After a year or so, I realized my anus is perhaps too tight for any massagers to work effectively on my prostate. There I am, back to the plugs.

I have had pleasure with the 1.5 inch wide B-Bomb from Tantus and other med-size toys - as a self-proclaimed intermediate user - I went for an upgrade by ordering "The" A-Bomb. I was amazed by the quality when it came in. It is seamless and beyond well made. It is soft, smooth and firm. It's made of silicone and non-porous, which are the basic selection criteria that I have set for sex toy shopping. So far it seems durable. There are a few times I got frustrated and bent the "neck" part like 60 degrees or so, but it just bounced back and stayed in shape. I also found the matte finishing less intimidating than rubber, plastic, glass and metal. It comes in red so it helps too.

The 4 1/2 inch long design is good for any short-ish person who doesn't enjoy longer plugs (>5 inches), which is also the reason I decided to give A-Bomb a shot.

I have had several sessions with the A-Bomb and had mixed results. I tried kneeing on the floor and insert it from behind, placing it on the side of my bathtub and sit on it, and getting in the "spider-man ready-to-jump" position and insert it from the front. So far sitting with twisting work the best for me, but I just couldn't pass the widest part. The blunt tip makes the A-Bomb a bit harder to guide during solo. It slides along my butt crack a lot.

But after all, I made progress every time I tried.

Sitting on the A-Bomb with my hand twisting seems like the way to go. After working with the A-Bomb for nights, I decided to order the medium Tantus Severin for practice and warm-ups.

I bought the Tantus Severin medium after several unsuccessful attempts on the A-bomb. I am able to play with the Severin with pleasure and now I feel I am more able to control my muscle.

Last week, after one hot session with the Severin medium, I took out my A-bomb, lubed it, put it on the side of the bath tub and sat on it. Still, I got half of it in but I couldn't pass the widest point. But the encouraging news is that, instead of feeling pain, now I feel I am just too tight.

I bought a plug that I was not ready for. But the A-Bomb is still in my toy box and on my to-do list.
