NOTE: This toy was used anally by a boy.

The Ryder is, unsurprisingly, a great toy and is definitely one that all fans of butt play should own. It may not be for beginners, but sooner or later, they should also get the Ryder. It is most definitely worth every penny and I think it will be the only butt plug I'll need for a long time.

Packaging/Storage: Ryder comes in a clam-shell case, inside of a clear Tantus box. The box measures 6 1/2 by 3 inches wide and is not excessively big or small for the toy it holds. The front states it is made of 100% ultra-premium platinum silicone and is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and phthalate-free and (like all the other sides of the box) has the Tantus logo on it. The right states why Tantus toys are so great and the back gives the same information reworded into a longer summary stating the toys can be "used a lifetime with minimal care", are waterproof, boilable, bleachable, non-toxic, high quality silicone, etc. The box is great for storage of the plug with or without the clam-shell casing it comes in. I use it without the shell since it is easier to access.

Look: Ryder is a beautiful deep purple color, in my case, and measure in at a total of 5 inches with 3 1/2 of the inches insertable. The base is 2 inches long horizontally, and just under 1 inch wide with the Tantus logo on it. The Ryder itself is just over 5 inches in circumference at the middle, and has a neck that is 3 inches in circumference. One of the only issues that the Ryder has is the very blunt head, which forces you to warm up before insertion to avoid pain.

Feel: Upon squeezing and such, I noticed the neck and base have some give, but being that this isn't noticeable during use, it is very easy to simply ignore. There is no way Ryder will slip inside by accident. As stated, the head is not much thinner than the thickest point of the butt plug, and so, it can be painful if the user does not warm up first. There is some light discomfort with base while using it, but it is less discomfort than with other plugs. Ryder stays very warm inside, especially when he's used for extended periods of time. It feels great and makes masturbating feel better than usual by adding in that extra sensation. Walking around with it does not feel incredible or give astonishing orgasms (in my experience), but it does feel good and keeps you feeling horny and perverted the entire time it is inside you.

Smell/Taste/Sound: There was no smell to Ryder except for a very light scent that you can only get by bringing him up to your nose. I did not taste it at all, but being that it is made of silicone, I find it hard to believe that it would have any flavor. There was no sound that came from the Ryder at all during use, making it a great toy to play with out in public under your clothes without anyone being the wiser.

Material/Lube/Cleaning: Ryder is made of silicone which ranks as a 10/10 on the safety scale. This material can "repel dirt and bacterial", and does not fall apart so easily. It is also smooth, non-porous, and waterproof. Unfortunately for most, the only lube that can be safely used with silicone toys is water-based lube. The cleaning however is very simple, and the toy is easily cleaned with soap and water or can be entirely sterilized by being boiled.

I don't think I'll be needing any other plugs any time soon, if at all! This one looks great, feels great, is made of the best material, and is reasonably sized. It's a must own for those who like anal and a definite 5/5.
