I love this product! First and foremost, it is pure silicone, the material of choice if you want easy cleaning, no smell to speak of, and a firm smooth texture. The shape of this plug is not what you usually see in a butt plug, being rather egg shaped, not pointed. The gradual taper at bottom end makes for a smooth transition and very easy removal. Easy removal for me is a very important consideration. With the traditional shape of most butt plugs, removal can be just a bit painful. I don't know about you, but personally, I'm not into pain. That is one of the reasons the Ryder is such a joy to use.

If you are looking for your first plug of any kind, I would suggest one of the traditionally shaped small plugs, so that you can get used to the idea of driving the wrong way on a one way street. Once you have that down, the Ryder would make a great second step.

A number of people have commented that they think the Ryder is too small for the truly experienced anal player, I don't feel that way at all. Size is a relative issue, and for me this a real nice fit. An extra half inch in length wouldn't hurt, but other than that, the girth is fine by me. I am of the opinion that with anal toys nothing goes in bigger than what comes out. Of course, every once in a while.......

I really don't know what more to say about this little gem of a sex toy. The material is first class, the texture is sexy, and the lack of smell is great. The wrong odor is one thing that can turn me off right now. For me, it is a good thing to have around when a partner is not available. It is even more fun when one is.

This review has been written with the Ryder butt plug inserted in its rightful place.

Well this is still my favorite! There is however one thing that has come up that is a bit annoying. Perhaps I am using it too much or leaving it in too long, but it has begun to retain an odor, faint but noticeable, that is not what you would call pleasant. It has been in the dishwasher, the laundry, hand washed, boiled, but still the odor lingers. I think I am going to let it soak in a mild bleach solution for a day or two and see how that goes. I know I will get the problem solved one way or another. Love my RYDER!
