When I first looked at this toy, I was a little disappointed, thinking, "This is only good for a warm up." My new severin looked like a hard-core biker next to this unassuming little guy. Boy, was I wrong.

I thought I'd pop him in easy-squeezy, just to try the little bugger out. I was surprised, at first, to find that my anus was putting up a pretty good resistance. I twisted and pushed and badgered until it relented, though, and was shocked at how big and comfortable it felt once it was finally in.

And that's really what separates the Ryder from my other butt plugs. I actually just wore it to the grocery store, and had no problems, other than a little chafing on the outside. That was remedied (once I was home, of course!) by turning it so the base lined up with my crack better (there has got to be a more lady-like way to say that but I just can't think of it right now). It's definitely well-designed, and perfectly suitable for long-term use. The aforementioned Severin tends to slip in and out, and my ripple is just too long.

Mind, if you try and do some thrusting action with this guy, it's not going to happen unless you've got a good gape going. The head is just too blunt for that. It's also a little short, and you'll find that you're popping in and out without much sensation in between. And if you're an experienced player... well, this plug may just feel small to you, as it did to me after an hour or two. I love that stretched out feeling, and just didn't get it with the small stem. On the other hand, that's what makes this one so comfortable.

It does double as a good vaginal and oral plug, though, making this pretty multipurpose. Just clean this guy off and insert him in your vagina (if you've got one, that is) while your man's up your ass for some good double penetration. Speaking of cleaning, since this toy is 100% smooth, silky silicone, you can boil it for a few minutes, put it in the dishwasher, or clean it with either an alcohol or bleach solution to sterilize it. I prefer boiling myself, as I love the warmth afterward, but you have to be careful or you could melt it (say, if it touched the bottom of your pot too long, or kept it in the water too long). I find that 3 minutes works for me, and removes all odors, lubes, bodily fluids, whatever.
