The Severin|Severin butt plug is a great butt plug made by Tantus. Tantus is a company that exclusively uses high quality silicone in all of the toys that they produce, and the Severin is no exception. Since it is silicone, this means that it is non-porous so it won't harbor bacteria, clean up is a breeze, and you can even sterilize it by boiling or with a 10% bleach solution. Tantus has a pretty extensive line of butt plugs of varying shapes and sizes that should be able to please just about any taste.

My personal taste favors several attributes of the Severin plug. I love the narrow tip and the two staging areas that allow you to take your time working it in. The Severin offered at EdenFantasys is the smallest of the three versions it comes in, which makes it an excellent choice for a beginner, but with an inch and half diameter at the larger bulge, it is fun for those with more experience as well. If you want larger ones of the Severin design, you may have to look elsewhere, but the gradual increase in size inherent to the Severin has the added benefit of preparing you for other anal plugs like the Tulip plug, the Ace plug royal, or the Infinity plug royal.

The Severin serves its purpose as a plug pretty handily and can be worn relatively comfortably for long periods of time. I say relatively comfortably because it may just be me, but it only took a couple of hours before the base started to cause irritation. The problem seems to be in the overall size of the base. Although the base definitely keeps the plug from going in too far, it prevents my ass cheeks from resting comfortably when I am walking and what not. I went ahead and thinned the sides of the base with a sharp knife and found it to be more comfortable after that simple fix. I haven't tried to ride my bicycle with it in or anything like that, but it isn't bad for just sitting and/or some light walking. It seems that this base design is used throughout most of the Tantus plug line, so I will plan on making a similar alteration to any of their butt plugs that I purchase.

Finally, the base of this plug also makes it compatible to a dildo harness, and although there is not a lot of length to it, my wife has used it in this way on me and I found it to be a pleasant experience, that would be enhanced if the shaft were longer, but I think that would hamper its success as a plug. Overall, I would give the Severin 4 stars out of 5, with the size of the base keeping it from a perfect score.

The Severin does not get as much use as some of my other plugs, but I am definitely glad it is in my arsenal. I think my biggest problem with it is even after altering the base, it still is not as comfortable for long term wear as I would like. It might be the jagged edges created from cutting the silicone. I wish I had a way that I could reliably melt and reshape the base without damaging the rest of the toy. Alas, since I know of no way to do this, I am stuck with this imperfect solution. I have not ventured into getting larger sizes of the Severin yet either, but eventually the "size queen" part of my psyche may overcome me and I will make that purchase. The Severin continues to be a very fun plug with some slight imperfections. Definitely worth a consideration if you need a nice "warm up" anal toy.
