This was the first sex toy I have ever purchased and what started all this for me a few years ago. I was looking for a plug/probe that would be able to explore new areas and give this whole anal game a try. As I am now writing reviews for a sex toy store, you can imagine the experience was a positive one.

The texture of the toy is very smooth, mine had a small seam but it was not noticeable during insertion. It is flexible, allowing for comfort, but still maintains its rigidity once inside.
The graduated ribs are definitely a high point of this toy. The initial bulb is very satisfying and the next few ridges offer a good sense of fullness for the novice recipient.

This toy works well for solo or partner play, I actually found it more satisfying with a partner because it lacks the ability to stay inside without some pressure applied outside. I attribute this to the very small difference between the final ridge and the stem.
The base offers a very safe prevention of losing the toy and also works well as a handle for repeated insertion.

The biggest flaw of this toy is the smell. After repeated washes there is a strong rubber/silicone/magic marker smell to the product. After multiple uses, the unique smell of this toy's material seems to trigger a Pavlovian response from my ass, which gets excited for what is in store. However, now that I have purchased toys without any odor, particularly glass products, I find the smell to be off-putting.

Overall, I find this toy to be a better probe than plug. It is a great introduction to anal play, as long as you can get past the smell of its material. I have since gotten rid of this toy due to owning better quality products but I do miss it, for the experience and sentimental value of it being my first.
