The Fun Factory Boosty is a new, silicone, anal plug produced by Fun Factory. About four and half inches long with a diameter of about an inch and a half at the widest point (though it seems smaller) along with a brilliant blue color, the Boosty is something to be reckoned with. Featuring three bubble-like bulbs towards the tip (reminiscent of the Bubbles vibe and a sturdy yet slim base, the Boosty is the new "cousin" of the previous Bootie butt plug.

The packaging for the Boosty is really cute and very modern. It comes with a cardboard slipcover that covers up the silicone plug. Inside, the Boosty rests inside an open hole for it, and there's an instruction/promotional booklet as well. For once, I actually don't see any free sample size of lubricant, so I don't think it comes with one.

The Boosty is a new anal plug from Fun Factory. Fun Factory's previous anal toy, the Bootie, was a fantastic hit and got great reviews, so I guess they chose to try their hands on a new one. The Boosty has the same type of silicone, small flexibility, and same base - the only difference is that the shaft of the butt plug has more girth to it so that those who enjoy more girth can enjoy this plug.

Everything that was perfect about the original Bootie FunFactory left alone. The silicone is extremely pliable and flexible, and it inserts really comfortable. The flared base is still the same long, slender size, and honestly, I'm not sure why more companies don't start using a similar base as my partner finds this to be the most comfortable base design out there. The base is also flexible, so it tends to be pretty comfortable.

However, the base is NOT flexible enough to be pulled inside the body. It's more flexible towards the outer tips of the base while the inner tips, near the center, are more firm. Maybe, if you have the strongest butt muscles known to man, you could pull this in, but for any average person, I'd sincerely, sincerely doubt you could - even if you tried.

Like the Bootie anal plug, the Boosty stays in wonderfully well. Some plugs just really aren't designed to stay in your body unless you're sitting on them or holding them in in some manner. With the Boosty, it's surprisingly good at staying in. I don't think it would stay in if you were trying to do jumping jacks or something like that, but for regular wear around the house or wear during grocery trips, the Boosty still does amazingly well, and I think the larger bubble-like girth near the tip actually makes it stay even better than the original Bootie.

We actually like the size of the Boosty. Normally, larger anal toys don't tend to work well for us because they're huge! However, the Boosty is larger than the Bootie without being too large. With some anal experience, you probably will be able to insert the Boosty with a good warm-up and proper lubricant. Really, the largest diameter is only about the same size as an average penis or dildo, so it's not so big that you won't be able to insert it. It is large enough to be a noticable difference to the Bootie, though, and to be a good warmer toy if you want to enjoy anal sex later on.

The Boosty feels very pleasurable; he doesn't describe it as a hugely intense sensation, but he says that the silicone is slick enough that it's comfortable to keep wearing, and it doesn't get uncomfortable like others. He also mentions that it's a pleasurable sensation that just continues, and it makes it really nice to wear while doing other things; he mentions that it doesn't feel like it's slipping out, so he doesn't worry so much about it compared to some other anal plugs out there.

Like the Bootie, the Boosty is made from silicone and boilable which means it can be sterilized. It can be placed in a condom, but it's length is a bit short for condom use. It's compatible with water-based lubricant, and HIGH-QUALITY silicone lubricant (we use ours with Pjur & Wet Platinum with no issue). It does tend to pick up a bit of hair and lint, so I recommend keeping it in a baggie or away from fuzzies.

Overall, the Boosty is a fantastic plug. Fun Factory took the previous Bootie and definitely made noticable changes. I wouldn't call them "improvements" because the two plugs are really different (one is meant to feel girthier while the other is just meant to allow you to play with an anal plug), but they definitely each stand out in their own way. The Boosty is great for those who want something to work as a good warm-up plug as well as those who just want something to stays in pretty effortlessly for public and long-term wear.
