Ace here was my first foray into anal play, and just let me say...it made a devotee of me! I was terrified of it at first -- not very conducive to anal play, I know -- but my biggest fear was a flimsy base that could potentially curl in on itself and disappear "up there," but Ace has a very sturdy base that assuaged a lot of my fears. In fact, after a few uses, I felt comfortable enough to experiment with leaving it in for a while for a bit of extended play. It doesn't give a really full feeling, but it's certainly a stimulation that I still love after many uses.

The material Ace is made out of is a pretty, shimmery silicone that's absolutely odorless (a big thing for me). Its texture is so smooth that I can't imagine even a first timer not faring well with it -- Ace was my first anal toy after all. And I'd never had anal penetration at all, to be honest, so this was literally my very first.

The size of this plug is a little on the bigger side to me, but I feel as though most people -- even beginners -- won't have a problem with it. It doesn't give the really full feeling that a lot of people enjoy with anal play, but it gives an absolutely lovely stimulation. It's not discreet at all -- trust me, you know it's a butt plug -- but it won't set off any alarms with the FAA. Ace came with me on tour this summer and never raised an eyebrow.

What I think is best about Ace is the sensations it provides. Just the right amount of stimulation and the right shape for my rear -- one of the most fun things to do with this little baby is extended wear.

Ace is made of super safe silicone -- don't use anything but water based lubes with it -- and even though the properties say that Ace is dishwasher safe...let's put it this way: it's been in your bum. Do you really want it in your dishwasher? I store Ace in a toy bag in the drawer with the rest of our toys.

To be honest, I received Ace sitting unwrapped on my nightstand with a bow on it -- my fiance's idea of romantic, ha ha. I'm not actually sure how Ace was packaged.

Ace is a great little buddy, my favourite anal toy hands down!

Wearing Ace for an extended period is fantastic.
