I was looking for a small plug that I could wear outside the house. I would consider myself an intermediate in anal play. The biggest issue I've had is the outsides of my other plugs. They would pinch or poke my skin. This one is perfect. The gem is cute but not bothersome at all, and it isn't big by any means. The ridges are fun, but they can be a little bit of a pain to clean (especially if you've been wearing it for a little while). All in all, it serves the purpose for which I bought it, and it's cute.
