This is a very high quality product, we wanted to mention that first off since the pictures don't do it justice. The plug is made of a very durable material that seems like it will last a long time. It's not soft but it's not hard; it's not squishy but it is...It's difficult to describe in detail. We can say that you won't be let down by it.

It starts off as a small tip and makes its way up in size until it's completely inserted. We wouldn't exactly suggest this for a beginner since it's a little bit bigger and might hurt; it's probably best to start with a smaller plug and then make your way up to this. Baby steps are a lot better than jumping right into it. A trick that we read somewhere is to gradually turn it as it's being inserted, this seems to make it easy and might be worth trying it. The key to anal play is to avoid pain. We used Maximus lubrication for this which worked very well. The only problems we have encountered is that on occasion the plug will fall out when we didn't mean for it to; not sure if this has to do with us or the plug though. The plug shouldn't be a problem at all but I think for the most part people are hesitant to start anal play is because they are scared of the pain. By starting small and gradually working your way up you will alleviate any possibility of this.

The product comes in a hard plastic package and it comes off as tasteful and high quality. A lot of times getting a toy that seems "too dirty" might be a turn off; this one isn't that case. It's very well presented in the manufacturer's packaging.

As far as cleaning goes, this is very easy to clean since there are no electronics included. Please be mindful of what this is used for and the fact that you MUST clean it off after every use...no excuses
