Now, this is one serious toy! When it arrived, my first thought was, "No way is this thing going where it is intended to go!" It's big and it's powerful and most definitely not for anal beginners.

The Silicone flexi-power rod is like the Ferrari of anal vibrators. It flexes in every direction, which is very cool, but the main attraction at this show is the vibrating feature. It has seven (yes, seven!) unique settings. The lowest setting is like the highest setting on most vibrators. The second setting will rattle your teeth, and the highest straight vibrating setting is like sitting on the nosecone of a rocket leaving the atmosphere. The other settings are pulses. They range from a short burst to a series of vibrations that remind one of a reggae beat. These are very powerful and not for the faint-hearted!

Neither my husband nor I could stand to use the Flexi-power rod probe anally using any setting; it was just too much even on low. We both found it too big for comfort as well. We did try it for masturbation play and, for this, it rocked. Using the lowest setting, it really got me off just being held 'down there.' Its extreme flexibility really lends itself to play.

So, bottom line is that as an anal probe, you will really have to be an expert to use this toy. If you are an old hand at anal, I can see where this thing would be fantastic. The controls work really well, and it does exactly what it says it will in terms of the various settings. It is great for vaginal play and masturbation using the lower settings. It cleans up well... always important in an anal toy. It uses 3 AA batteries which are not included.
