This Buddy was made with backdoor entrances in mind. The firm rounded tip works well for external stimulation to help one relax prior to insertion as well as spreading the lube around. The flared flat base as well as the wide nub portion help ensure there will always be a portion of the plug outside the body making the it removable when you are finished using it.

The plug is firm but flexible and constructed of medical grade translucent silicone. The translucent property adds a unique look to the plug especially when viewed from the bottom. The ribbed portion of the shaft will provide beginners or advanced users of anal toys with a high level of stimulation.

The first inch of the shaft is smooth, the next two inches of the shaft is the ribbed portion. The shaft tapers slightly wider along the ribbed portion of the plug. The ribs are rounded on the edges and turn sharply back towards the shaft. This design makes for very deep gaps between each rib and make themselves known if the lube you are using starts to get used up since your ass will tend to grab each gap as you move the plug. The rounded portion with the nubs is more suited towards a more experienced anal toy user since it increases in width very quickly while the shaft portion is a good size that most individuals would be able to insert. The size of the plug will take a minimum amount of space in an overnight bag if you wanted to take it with you.

The thing that really stands out about the is plug is the translucent aspect of it. With the right lighting the plug offers a birds eye view if that is something you are in to. The ridges take some getting used to and will let you know they are there if you do not have enough lube applied.

Being made of silicone the plug is not compatible with silicone lubricants, water-based ones are your best bet. Using a mild anti-bacterial soap and water to clean, pay attention to the gaps to make sure you get them clean as well. Make sure it is completely dry before storing. The plastic package that the plug comes in can double as a storage container to keep from getting dusty or covered in lint if stored in a drawer.

When the plug arrived we really excited about taking it for a spin, it really looked like it would be fun. When we started out the first thing we noticed was how much lube you had to use to keep the ridges from getting grabbed during thrusting. The round part of the shaft is not completely round more like a ball that has been squeezed. The lack of a taper makes it difficult to get the plug fully inserted and after many attempts and lots of lube we were not successful in full insertion of the plug.
