This was my first time with an anal toy! I originally chose it because it looked very smooth and jelly-like and not overly large. I also like the colour. I did notice quite an odor once it was out of the package. It's not a totally unappealing odor, but it really hasn't faded much over time and with washing. The fact that it is a "jelly" toy means that it cannot be sterilized (no boiling water or top-rack dishwasher) but can be cleaned thoroughly with soap and water and a toy cleaner. It should also be kept in a cool dark place. It's not a toy to share; it's recommended that you put a condom on it if you choose to share!

It's quite a sticky type of material, so it picks up lint very easily. I just wash mine before each use as well as after. Another great thing about the Blue Thunder Elite Tool is that you can use either a water-based or silicone lubricant. I prefer the silicone lubricant as it stays better on the toy and lasts much longer. As a first time user, I found the Blue Thunder Elite tool to be surprisingly easy to use. My husband has used it with me, and I have tried it solo. It was nice and smooth to insert. The large end makes it easy to hold and manipulate. Another thing I noticed is that it transfers vibration very well, whether by simple touch or with a vibrator. It stays in pretty well, and the different sized areas add to the enjoyment. The large end also allows me to sit upon it comfortably. Although, the end is a little large to insert and leave in and walk around.

It definitely kicks things up a notch for me and hubby. I'm positive my husband enjoys this toy as much as I do! It's small enough to fit discreetly in a travel bag or overnight bag. This is definitely a toy I would recommend for those that are curious about anal play. For me, the Blue Thunder Elite tool is the first in many to come!
