The be honest, the Doc Johnson Royal plug offers what you pay for, and maybe even a little bit more. This is a simple, yet well designed, inexpensive anal plug. It comes in a simple rigid plastic pack, which goes in the trash right away. It does seem to come with its very own scent, which can be a positive or negative depending on your taste. I would describe the scent as a type of new car with cherry syrup. I tried to wash it out, but to no real avail.

I would venture to say that one of the premier feature of this plug is the sheer size. For those who want a thoroughly filling experience at a low cost, this is the plug. Definitely not the plug to leave in and forget about. This plug will make you feel full every moment of its insertion. I generally like to leave it in anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours. I've tried to keep it in throughout a work day, but unfortunately, I had to give in after about 5 hours. For those who like to be plugged in public, you might find this plug exhilarating to wear for a couple of reasons. First, there is the challenge of seeing how long you can keep it in. Second, there is the challenge of discretely wearing it. I find that jeans will cover up the base fairly well, but bending over and squatting opens up the field of exhibition, not to the point of obvious exposure, but enough to make you arousingly conscious.

Cleaning can be a challenge. To minimize on clean up, I recommend wearing a condom as the plug is made of porous rubber, which tends to cling on to scents. In addition, this reduces the possibly of the spread of bacteria. I find that warm soapy water is sufficient to clean it well. If you don't use a cover during use, be ready to experience some lingering odors, which do dissipate after time once the "new car" smell takes over again.

Due to the size of this toy, it is obviously not for beginners to anal play. Any beginner's attempt at insertion may be sufficient to scare the recipient away from anal play permanently. Know your limitations and work your way up. I recommend this toy for intermediate to advanced users, although they may lose interest in such a simple toy. Nonetheless, this is still one of my favorite plugs/anal toys due to the size and shape. The tapered end is perfect for slowly and comfortable stretching the sphincter. This is definitely not something that will "easily" slide in. It definitely takes a bit of patience, but that's half the fun: working the tapered tip in and out as your rear swallows more with every thrust. The widest end makes sure once the plug is in, it is in. This thing is not coming out on its own. The texture is slick and responds well to lube. The toy is sturdy, but the surface had a bit of "give" to it, which makes slow, calculated insertion pleasurably possible.

The truth is, this was a bit of an impulse purchase for me. I was really beginning to enjoy things in my rear, and was constantly looking for a new "challenge." Mesmerized as I was by the vast field of anal toys available, I was often overwhelmed by variety, material, size and price. In a state of sexual mania, I went to the store looking for "something" to shove up there. Limited by the local retail setting, I honestly chose the most affordable piece I could find that would intimidate me, but which still left me with hopes for insertion. The Doc Johnson Royal plug fit the bill. It is large, 7.5" in circumference and 2.5" wide, in a sexy black color. The slick porous rubber has some give to it, contracting as I pumped it in and out of my sphincter.

The first night, I didn't think it would be possible. On my heels, in a squat position, thoroughly lubed and rectally stimulated, I continued to pump. With each centimeter of progression, my member would quiver in ecstasy, in anticipation of the moment of reception. After a few deep breaths or rather some passionate panting with a few vulnerable whimpers, it was in. I had risen to the challenge, and suddenly felt like a king. I stood up, fully plugged and erect. Throbbing, my sphincter pulsated and hugged the tapered end of the plug. Large enough to feel proud, tapered enough to wear comfortably for reasonable lengths of time. This is the plug I wear when I want to feel a bit of stretch. I never gape so well from a plug as I do from the Royal.
