In my never ending quest to find more perfect butt plugs, Edenfantasys graciously agreed to send me The Screw by Whipspider Rubberworks. This is a small company that operates out of Maine and makes some of the most unusual silicone dildos I have ever seen. After I got the screw in my hands, I was amazed by the craftsmanship of this piece. It has the company logo artfully engraved in the bottom and if there was any question about this thing being hand made, the initials carved into the top of the base dispel that thought. The coolest thing about this toy (and some others in the Whipspider collection), in my opinion, is that it is available in a swirled black and white version where the white actually glows in the dark. The coolness factor of a glow in the dark sex toy is hard to beat.

It is softer than most of my other silicone toys and its nice to have some variation in firmness while still maintaining the safety attributes of silicone. Speaking of safety attributes, don’t forget that unlike lesser materials, 100% silicone can be sterilized by boiling for five minutes, wiping with a 10% bleach solution followed by a rinsing, or run through the dish washer on the top rack without soap. It’s safest to use water based lubricants with silicone toys. Although my personal test resulted in no reaction between the screw and System Jo silicone anal lube, results may vary so test it on a small area before going nuts with it and then make sure it is washed completely when you are finished.

I chose the regular size screw. There is a larger version available but it is only slightly bigger in diameter and an inch longer, so for my purposes probably not any better. After all of this, you’re probably wondering what my purposes are. Well, I was just getting to that. To me, plugs can serve different purposes. Some are better for prostate massage, some are useful just for warm up, but for me, the highest tier in the butt plug universe is ones that are designed for extended wear and the Screw fits into this category very well. The tip is narrowed to ease insertion. The base is well designed and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The neck is sufficiently smaller than the body so that it stays in place well. Plus, the screw portion of the plug provides some additional textures as well. I was hoping that the Screw would actually work to allow my partner to corkscrew it into my ass, but she said it didn’t really seem to work that way. That is one way where the Screw could increase my enjoyment, but I am not marking it down for that.

After removing the Screw from its very simple packaging (it came in a zip-lock bag with a single page company insert). I cleaned the Screw as I admired its beauty. I was pretty excited to use it, so I applied a little lube and slipped it into my ass and then put my clothes back on. I continued to wear for a few hours as I lounged around the house. It stayed in place admirably and there was never a point at which I was worried that it was going to shoot out on its own.

Later that evening, after the kids were nestled all snug in their beds, my partner and I had some time to please each other. I kept the plug in during all of our activities and never had any problems with it at all. My partner tapped it and moved it around a few times to provide additional stimulation and it was very pleasurable. It even stayed in place as we reached our orgasms together. We found that it had to be very dark to see the glow-in-the-dark feature, but that is more a novelty aspect than anything else. All in all, the Screw really seems to do the job well.
