Small and weak, but okay to try if you're a beginner
I wouldn't recommend this toy for anal use unless you were really a beginner. Even then, I'm not so sure I would recommend the toy simply because of its smell. It's weak in vibrations, pretty noisy for the amount of vibrations it gives, not the most safe in terms of material composition, and it's really slim. On the other hand, if you've never done anything anally before, this might be a good toy because it's so slim.

Pros
- Good for beginners - Very manageable insertable length
Cons
- Too slim - Ridges were small - Noisy - Weak vibrations - Made of rubber
This vibrator, as stated in its name, is meant to be used anally. Due to its slim size, the toy is meant for beginners. It is connected to a battery pack with a dial for control through a wire and requires two AA batteries (not included). Thus, it is not meant to be used in water, so no taking this toy with you into the shower or bath! Furthermore, it’s made of rubber, so it would be wise to use this toy with a condom if you will be sharing -- it is porous so fully getting rid of all bacteria will be difficult. However, I also noted that this toy is made of antibacterial sil-a-gel. While I'm not so sure how effective this substance is in eliminating bacteria, perhaps the antibacterial properties of this toy would allow for use without a condom if only one person will be using this item in one orifice. I would not recommend the use of this item in the vagina.
This item is also a bit bulky, so I would not recommend taking it on travels. Additionally, as always, I recommend using some sort of lubricant if you're using a toy anally.
The toy is made of rubber composed of antibacterial sil-a-gel and PVC. The package says that this item is non-phthalate. From this composition, the toy is slightly flexible.
The sil-a-gel in this toy gives it a strange smell. To me, the smell is overwhelming and it almost dissuaded me from using the toy. The smell rubs off onto fingers/skin, and after washing the toy three times, it still contains this smell. To me, the odor is similar to something medicinal with something that tries to smell fresh but smells odd instead. I'm sure some people are okay with the smell, but for me, it's definitely a con. I really needed a shower after use because I didn't want to smell like the toy.
The material also has a few slight ridges as shown in the picture. However, the ridges are so slight that I didn't even feel them when using it. I guess this makes it better for beginners, but at the same time, it decreases any sensation and the purpose of the toy. Because of this, I doubt the toy is for advanced users at all. Overall, the toy is quite smooth so it should be easily used with some lubricant.
The toy is really slim. As shown in the picture below, it is about the width of three pencils tied together, so it's really quite small and better for a beginner. To me, even as a beginner, the toy was too slim. I didn't quite feel anything at all when playing with this toy.
It has about 4 inches of insertable length, with a wider base where the vibrations originate.
However, because the toy has a base that is wider and a length about two inches with the additional 4 inches of insertable length, it is pretty big and not discreet. It is not suitable for travel.
I'll be frank; I didn't like this toy. The vibrations are located from the base of the toy (not insertable), so the actual vibrations that I felt when I was using this toy were quite weak. Additionally, the vibrations are not that soft, so I didn't like how it was weak to feel but loud and non-discreet.
The vibrations are controlled from a dial on the battery pack connected to the base of the toy by a wire. The wire is of a decent length, so you can have the control near you while in use. The dial controls the speed of vibrations, but even the greatest vibration wasn't that strong by the time it reached the insertable length. In the end, I just decided to use the toy without the vibrations in order to decrease the amount of noise.
As the ridges were very slight, thrusting this toy also did not really do anything -- I could hardly feel the ridges that were meant to enhance pleasure.
As I was using this toy, the smell from holding the base also got onto my hand, which was not pleasant at all. The smell made me a little nauseous and eventually gave me a headache. Perhaps I'm just really sensitive to the smell, but it really decreased pleasure from use of the toy.
It's made of rubber, so you can wipe it down with antibacterial wipes, but it most likely won't fully clean the toy. That's why use of a condom would be advised, as it would make the cleaning process a lot easier. Also, condom use will prolong the life of the toy. I also washed the toy under water (the insertable portion) with soap. The toy can also be cleaned with a damp cloth and soap.
As this is made of rubber, the toy can be used with either water based or silicone based lubricants. I used this toy with a water-based lubricant.
I stored this item in a drawer -- it most likely can be stored anywhere, but away from heat.
The packaging wasn't too discreet. It was pretty big and bulky and it showed anal invader right in the front. Please take a look at the pictures to get a better idea. The back of the packaging describes the toy and what it is made of.
The packaging, made of clear plastic, can open up without cutting anything. So, you could put it back into the packaging and just close it back up if you wanted to for storage purposes.

Very informative
Follow-up commentaryI still don't like it1 month after original review
The smell is still there. That just really makes me shy away from this product. Plus, I still don't get anything out of this. Using it longer actually makes me dislike it more. In any case, this gets a big fat zero in my book.

Thanks for sharing your review! I agree with the anti-bacterial rubber giving off a really bad smell
