I'd never used an anal toy before I bought this, and was honestly very anxious about it. If you're perhaps feeling the same way, then I think you can start with this plug, and relax. Despite any worries I may have had, with just a bit of lube this toy slid in beautifully, and stayed in, with literally no problems or discomfort whatsoever. I'm probably coming off as being a bit too effusive in my praise here, but I'm just so happy that I can say I very much enjoyed my first foray into anal toys.

The product itself is indeed gorgeous, it's quite solid and looks and feels like quality. The Pure Plug comes in lovely pink-satin lined box that you're probably going to want to keep it in. The steel it's made from means it's non-porous, and very easy to clean with just soap and water after each use. To sterilize it, you can just boil it in water for a few minutes.

As far as ease and comfort of use goes, in addition to the beautifully smooth material, the shape is also pretty much perfect. The bulb on the end is tapered and goes in easy, the neck narrows down towards the looped handle, and the handle itself is very comfortable between your cheeks. Plus, because of the material, you can use any sort of lube you'd like with it.

The toy can be warmed or chilled for temperature play, and is easy to grab and manipulate with the handle, leaving open plenty of possibilities for use.

I've seen some say that at 1" diameter, this is too small, smaller than most 'small' plugs, but it's just right for me right now. As a beginner, it is perfect, and I plan on enjoying this for a while longer and maybe buying the next size up in the future.
