The flower gem is a great toy for anal play beginners. It's pretty, the plug itself is super smooth and easy to insert, and the toy is easy to care for. It can also be used for solo play while using a vibrator, dildo, and clitoral toy, or you can use it during intercourse with a partner. It is also nice to use as a warm up for anal sex with a partner.

I was originally drawn to this plug because of the material and the size. Being made of zinc alloy, it is easy to clean; just use some soap and hot water, and you are good to go. You can also adjust the temperature of the plug with relative ease for some temperature play. The diameter of the plug is just over one inch which I figured was a good starting place for someone new to anal insertion. Upon use, I found that my assumptions were correct and this little gem was the perfect size for a first timer.

Overall, I really enjoy the flower gem anal plug. It is simple to use; there is some versatility on when and how you can use it, it stays inserted during use and is removed pretty effortlessly. It is a plug that I would recommend to anyone who is wanting to experiment with anal play for the first time.

That being said, there are a couple of downfalls for this toy. Although pretty, the gems at the base are sharp and scratchy. There were a few times during its use that I could feel them scratching me and it was mildly unpleasant and distracting. Also, although the size is great for beginners, I feel that it would be lacking for more experienced users and I even find myself grabbing for something more substantial these days.

I like to change the temperature of my plug from time to time and for me, I found that having bowls of hot and cold water nearby were the easiest ways to cool and heat the flower gem.
