Aside from the glaringly poor color choice, this is a nice plug that would make a nice stepping stone from beginner anal toys to something with a big more fullness. It's body safe and has a broad enough base to provide security. In a pretty range of slightly darker colors, this would be a five star choice.
The Plug of Lust Large is a butt plug. It has a smaller sibling, the Plug of Lust Small, which is quite a but smaller. Appropriately named, don't you think? The Plug of Lust is intended to be inserted anally and left there during play. That play could be solo, or it could be couples play. You could choose to insert this plug yourself, of it could be inserted for you by your partner. It could be used by anyone, of any gender. It could be used vaginally, I suppose, but it wouldn't provide a ton of sensation or depth of penetration.
When inserted anally, it tends to stay put, thanks to a narrow neck and nicely flared base. There is also a small ring on the end of the base, if you would like to place a finger in the ring to secure your grip, you can do so. That ring could also be used to pull the plug out.
I suppose I would qualify this as an intermediate sized toy. Beginners looking for something a bit larger needn't be afraid to try this one. Those who want something with length or an extreme feeling of fullness should look elsewhere.
This plug comes in one color, and that color is white. Really? It seems a poor choice for an anal toy, and most manufacturers have realized this long ago. The overwhelming majority of anal toys are a darker color. I would think that any sort of residue would be very easy to notice and might kill the mood just a tad.
Molded as one hunk of silicone, the Plug of Lust is smooth with a slightly matte surface. I would say it has just enough texture to hold onto lube well, but not so much texture that it would create drag. There is a seam that runs the entire circumference of the toy, but it's minor and cannot be felt during use.
The Plug is relatively firm, but you can squish the more narrow bits a fair amount. The main bulb of the plug is the firmest portion, and it's quite tough to squish the plug there. There is some bend and flex at the tip and at the neck. The tapered tip helped with easy insertion, and the base is certainly large enough to make you feel secure that it isn't traveling too far north.
I like the overall design of this plug. The droplet shape has a longer narrow section than the standard plug shape, which let's you ease into the larger section of the droplet. Once you get "over the hump" of that large diameter, the narrow neck is comfortable in nearly any position.
You can easily sit, stand and walk around while wearing this plug. I've had no issues with comfort or durability. I'd say that the small flexible ring would never been seen if you choose to use this plug for longer term wear. It wouldn't be seen as a lump if you have underwear or pants on.
Again, I question the design in one major area, and that is color choice. I would think that when you are taking this plug out with your partner, you would be a bit concerned that some amount of residue would be seen, and that would be quite the mood killer.
Although it's true that there is nothing spectacular about this toy, it's certainly ergonomic and it's comfortable to wear. Insertion and removal are easy and comfortable. It should be noted that it doesn't have a suction cup base, and it wouldn't work well in a harness.
The smooth and gradual taper makes it comfortable to move the tip in and out while you warm up, and the ring on the base slips over a finger easily to give you security while you do that solo. So, if you choose to not use a smaller toy for warm up, you can use this one and some very tiny thrusting until you are ready for the larger diameter. I think this one works better for that sort of thing than some of the traditionally shaped plugs on the market. That being said, you certainly couldn't thrust easily with the largest part of the plug in play, only the section leading up to it.
The Plug of Lust is all silicone, so cleaning is simple. You can clean the toy with a mild soap and water or with your favorite toy cleaner. If you wish to sterilize the toy, you could boil it for three minutes or place it in the top rack of your dishwasher. It does tend to collect hair and lint, so please check it before using it to be sure it's clean. Please use only water based lubes, as silicone lubes will damage the toy. When you store the Plug of Lust, take care to store it away from other silicone toys, as contact with them will cause damage.
As it comes in a basic clamshell package that won't stand the test of time, you will need to store the Plug of Lust somewhere else. You could put it in a toy pouch or a plastic bag. The photo on the package insert shows a rope threaded through the loop handle on the base, so I suppose that might be a fun way to add some visual appeal to the toy, or an interesting way to jazz up the removal process.
Follow-up commentaryI don't like it anymore14 months after original review
Although there is nothing wrong with the structure of the plug, I will admit to not using it mainly because of the color. That may seem like a small thing, but it really impacts the appeal of the toy.

I know exactly what you mean by poor color choice. I have the "clear with silver glitters" Buddy by Vixen Creations and it turned yellowish...you know why!

I know, right? Can't they think about the use when they choose the colors?
Rossie
Maybe the color was chosen by someone who has never tried anal play! LOL
charmedtomeetyou
Perhaps! But one would think, that whether you've tried it or not...you know what else will be where this thing is going......

Spot on review, thanks! I enjoyed the back and forth with you and Rossie, too, LOL!
charmedtomeetyou
Thanks for reading! I enjoyed the banter too!
Sir
Agreed with the "made by a simpleton" comment. Some manufacturers seriously need to be fired, or at the very least, informed!
Great review.

I agree....In what meeting does someone say "let's make a white anal toy" and everyone else says "sure, that sounds like an awesome idea"....
