This toy is ideal for those who are new to anal play. For anyone who is curious about going through the backdoor for the first time, this toy is a great way to get an introduction without making a large investment. If you've never had anything back there, some lube will allow the pacifier to slip right into place. Leaving it in place for a while will allow beginners to get a sense for penetration. After leaving it inserted for a bit, the handle can be gently tugged for stimulation. Beginners may find this helpful to prepare for the introduction of larger objects. For anyone who has already taken more than one step in the water, a larger plug is probably better suited. The plug is also contoured and small enough to leave in for extended wear.

The material is flexible silicone. My first impression was that this toy looked somewhat cheap. However, it has served its purpose and, according to other reviews, it appears to be a legitimate silicone product. All things considered, the material does not generally take away from the pleasure provided by the plug. The rubbery feeling does seem to cling at times. Perhaps this toy requires more lube than glass or metal, making it less reliable for comfort during extended wear. One major drawback is that, although the plug has been thoroughly cleaned, it appears to hold onto bodily odors.

The Love Pacifier really does have a classic shape. In my opinion, this is the ideal shape for a leave-in anal plug. The size is perfect for a beginner in anal play and for the average user who "dabbles." Anyone who loves a fuller feeling should move towards a larger plug. The handle is small enough to be discreet under clothes and big enough to easily snag when ejection is necessary. The tapered stem is comfortable and long enough for pleasurable penetration. The contoured shape of the head makes it possible to walk around without the concern of it slipping out.

Once again, the Love Pacifier is a simple concept relying on simple contours and comfort of material to perform as an object of pleasure. Considering the price, this product is worth every penny, which may not necessarily say much. Other materials may provide more comfort during extended wear. However, I don't think a beginner (the primary audience for this toy) would be drawn in that direction.

This toy comes in a pretty simple package, so there is nothing for storage. To be honest, this one is a bit hard to figure out for storage. I settled on a Tupperware container. The silicone surface would cling on to too much dust or fibers in any other storage condition. The toy appears to be compatible with both water-based and silicone-based lubricants. I wash it with warm soap and water, sometimes placing it in the dishwasher. Despite several washes, there appears to remain a scent of bodily odor.
