This plug has a nice shape for beginners and is enjoyable for the intermediate user of backside play. The blue color is like a gem decorating your bottom. Its smaller size is comfortable and great for use by guys and gals. Easily inserted and removed. The round middle allows this toy to be used in preparation for a larger device to be inserted.

Glass toys, like this, can use any type of body safe lubricant, though we usually just use saliva to moisten the plug since not much lubrication is needed with the smooth glass. If too much lubricant is used, it is harder to keep the plug inserted. The shape is cute and less embarrassing if it should fall out during training. It is not uncommon for beginners to eject the plug uncontrollably, especially when trying to use it during other sexual activities. The weight of this plug helps to train the muscles to hold it in place. Being able to control your muscles allows you to change the sensations during sexual activities and may intensify orgasm for you and your partner.

When inserted in her anus, the pressure is added during vaginal intercourse, intensifying the experience for both partners. When inserted in his anus, the pressure and occasional movement help intensify his orgasm. She might consider using this plug in her vagina to work the kegel muscles.

Cleaning is easy with mild soap and hot water - or your favorite toy cleaner. The Royal Intruder can also be boiled to ensure bacteria is removed. Once it's clean, put the toy away in the included draw-string velvet-like bag.

The glass holds temperature well and before inserting it is fun to chill it in ice water, then use the plug for teasing other body parts. When you're ready, slip it in for a chilling thrill. Gentle warming is similar fun, but be careful too hot can cause injury.

We started with softer silicone plugs, about this same size. Since those plugs are soft and squishy, they do not help users to learn good control of their muscles. Since this is glass and smooth, it forces the user to learn how to relax, while at the same time controlling the muscles to keep the plug from slipping out.

Being naive, the first time he used this plug was at a house party. Since he was used to playing with the softer plugs, he wasn't prepared for the control needed and squeezed it right out onto the floor. It actually was a fun laugh and an ice-breaker. One of the more experienced guys came over, talked to us and helped us learn how to use the tool.

A year later, this is too small for him, but she still enjoys using it. Remember to clean it after each use.

Having graduated to larger, more fun plugs, I do not use this as much as I used to, but it is still a great starter toy.
