The Love Pacifier Advanced by California Exotic is a surprisingly comfortable butt plug. I had mixed emotions when I got it in the mail (Thanks, EdenFantasys!). It was as large as I had expected, but the bulb was more rigid than I had thought. The toy doesn’t appear intimidating despite that. There is no give whatsoever in the bulb of this toy. The neck and loop handle are quite flexible in contrast. I wasn’t sure if I’d like it as I’m a beginner to the world of butt plugs (this is my second). After a couple uses, I was impressed.

This plug is made of silicone so be sure not to use silicone-based lubes. There is no texture and it has a soft feel with some drag on the skin. Make sure to use a good quality, water-based lube like Sliquid Sassy Booty Formula. There is one imperfection: a middle seam running throughout the toy. It is not sharp and you will not feel it in use, so it doesn’t bother me so much. The other disadvantage to this toy is it gathers lint, fur, fuzz and any other particle like a magnet.

The tip comes to a slight, though rounded, point. The shape of this toy does make for easy insertion when holding the neck (closest to the bulb works best). I wouldn’t recommend trying to insert this using the loop since there is just too much give and it’d wobble everywhere rather than burrowing into the anus. The loop is efficient at removing the toy and makes a very comfortable handle to gently jostle the toy once inserted for extra sensation. I was quite impressed with how comfortable this plug was. I could sit, stand, lie down, bend, move around and could hardly feel this toy. It nestles perfectly in my butt and the handle is thin and flexible enough that it fits perfectly between my cheeks. I don’t think people with skinnier asses would have a problem with the handle either. The loop doesn’t chafe the sides of your cheeks since it is rather thin. Since the neck and loop aren’t rigid, this toy will bend and flex with your every movement. I find this is a wonderful design feature: firm where you need it and flexible everywhere else means ultimate comfort. This plug is great for extended wear. I don’t think the loop would be noticeable through pants unless they were super skin tight or if you have an exceptionally flat ass.

When I first inserted this toy, it was a rather tight, slightly painful fit since I didn’t use a warm up toy like the Small Silk first. Once the bulb was all the way in, the pain subsided and I barely felt it at all. I found it quite pleasing to sit and rock my body back and forth, causing the bulb to rub around. The second time I inserted it, I did not experience any pain (again, no warm up used). If felt really good, at first, during vaginal penetration. It was really nice to feel my partner’s penis (or a dildo) squeezing past the plug during entry. Once it was in and thrusted in and out a couple times, I didn’t really feel the penis/dildo all that much. The plug was so big that it took away from feeling sensations against my vaginal wall, which I found counterintuitive. I thought that I would feel more, not less. I could feel the plug moving around, and I think that distracted me. During oral sex, however, this toy shines. It bounces around the rectum nicely during orgasm, and for me it enhanced the feeling of his tongue against my clit and labia.
