Long have I longed for a better butt plug, and lo and behold, here it is.

The violet moon plug comes in a plush padded drawstring pouch, an important and sometimes overlooked touch. Glass toys, for the record, must be protected lest they chip. When I first fished it out of the bag, I held it up and wondered “that’s it?” It’s small; a “two finger” butt toy – not necessarily small enough to warm up the tightest of asses, but definitely small enough to be played with by anyone. A one size fits all butt plug; quite the feat for a simple glass toy.

Even though it looks small, it’s got quite a bit of presence. The glass is a lovely blush of violet – clear and captivating and reminiscent of a precious gem. It is shaped like a spade from a deck of cards – a 3d version, of course. The thickest part of the bulb is three times as wide as the stem, and the taper between the bulb and the stem is quite severe. So what, you ask? This design ensures that the plug won’t pop out on its own due to relaxation, or when muscles clench during orgasm, despite its significant weight.

I used the plug right away; just rinsed it, smeared it with some of my favorite oil based lube (my gold standard lube for anal play), and slid it into myself. It took a little bit of wiggling to get in; the plug gets wider than a finger tip very quickly. If you need a bit more warm-up to get to two fingers, this plug will requite a bit of foreplay before use. The glass crept into me effortlessly; any friction between the plug and my inner bits was completely eradicated by the lube.

Eventually, the plug settled into place – bulbous head enveloped within me, asshole clenched around the stem, and the small, tidy little violet base peaking out between my bum cheeks. When I clenched and flexed my ass, I made the plug throb inside of me – rubbing firmly on such a sensitive area. My body responded with a shudder running down my spine, through my sex, and to my buckling knees.

Throbbing it again, I stood up and walked over to my bed and called over my partner – it was time to test this plug in earnest. The plug performed admirably during play – its weight made it ever present - stimulation that could not be ignored. Yet because of the great design, the plug did not budge. Not during orgasm, not during really physical fucking. Not until I pulled it out.

What this toy is does provide wonderfully subtle and effective anal stimulation – the weight feels good, the slickness of the glass feels good, and the glass allows the plug to warm to body temperature. And it doesn’t budge once placed. This is a superior product – one I feel would make anyone smile. It’s certainly my new favorite…

I love this plug to bits - so many months later, I still can't get enough of it.

My original advice on the sizing of this toy is good. This is a mid level toy, despite it's innocent appearance, as the bulb is actually quite girthy. It is an excellent size to wear for stimulation when walking around, and it's of course brilliant during (solo) sex. I find I'm a bit more cautious about using it for partnered sex, however, because I'd have to see it get chipped during activities with vigorous movements. Maybe I'm being silly, but as a result I rarely pull it out for use with a partner, I grab something silicone instead.

The base is flared enough but has quite a low profile, so it won't stick out under clothes. This plug is comfortable to wear for many hours - and in fact becomes quite pleasant over time as it warms to body temperature.

I've also found that water based lube does something weird with this toy when it's left in for an extended time - it kind of "glues" the toy in place. Not in a painful way or anything, and it's easily and painlessly pulled free, but it feels like it gets stuck. Not a problem I've noted with oil based lubes.
