I spent a long time contemplating whether to give the Love Pacifier Advanced four or five stars. In the grand scheme of sex toys it's not a five star product, but in the less-than-grand scheme of sex toys under $20, I think it is awesome.

I was first attracted to the Love Pacifier because it has the same ingenious looking shape as the Njoy Pure plugs, for a small fraction of the price. I still covet the beautiful, stainless steel Pure plugs, but I've come to appreciate the Love Pacifier for its own sake.

Even though I own a number of butt plugs, which I enjoy using during sex, this is the only one that I enjoy using for extended wear. I attribute this to the thin, flexible neck on this toy. I get just a mild feeling of fullness and stretch, which feels good for hours while walking around and sitting down.

The Love Pacifier does have a few imperfections. Previous reviewers have complained that the softness of the neck makes insertion difficult, and my boyfriend agrees. It is true that it would be nice if you could use the generous, ring-shaped handle for insertion. On the other hand, the neck would have to be much stiffer and I think the flexibility is a huge part of what makes the plug so comfortable. I also find that the plug is easy enough to insert by grasping the neck at the base of the head.

Other reviewers have also expressed concern about the size of the ring shaped handle. It is large, but if it were smaller I would be concerned about letting it slip all the way in. I have used this plug during vaginal penetration by my boyfriend, and while it is not the most stimulating plug we own for this purpose, he has never had a problem rubbing up against the handle.

As I mentioned, I like this plug for extended wear and I have worn it out of the house under pants with no problem. The handle does stick out a bit, but not so much as to be obvious under my fitted, but not tight jeans. I should point out though, that I'm not a small person. I'm 5'9 with plenty of padding on my rear, so it could be that the handle would be more obvious on a smaller frame.

Personally, my least favorite thing about this little butt plug is the seam that runs latterly along the entire length of the plug. I prefer a nice smooth entry with anal toys. The seam isn't terrible, but I do notice it, and it does require extra care in cleaning when you are done playing. Fortunately, silicone is easy to clean up.

But really, the Love Pacifier is just an adorable toy. Mine is a bright cherry red color, and cute as a button. For the price, I would recommend this little plug to anyone wanting an extremely comfortable plug for whatever reason. You can easily find more filling plugs. I like the Ryder during sex, for example. Every time I try to think of a way to improve the Love Pacifier for comfortable extended wear, though, I barely come up with anything safe and/or practical.

So check it out already. If nothing else, it could be the perfect fun addition to an order that needs just one more item for free shipping. You know you love the free shipping!
