One of the best things about the Pony Play Whip Royal is that it is easy to insert and that, once it is inserted, it stays in very well. This is beginner-friendly, even though it is considered a "medium" size. If you are a beginner, I would suggest that you either get the Pony Play Whip Original or make sure to take this toy a bit slow when inserting. The tail feels great and adds so much to pony play. The name is a little bit misleading though because, even though the tail is made of thick hairs, it does not have enough weight to really be used as a whip.

The plug itself is made of a mostly firm red rubber. With rubber, you will need to be sure to clean your toys very well after every use because it is porous. I do not recommend sharing this toy with anyone because it is made of a porous material. When I first got this toy in the mail, it had a strong rubber smell; but, after washing it a few times, the smell was not even noticeable anymore. As for the tail, it feels decently realistic. It is very thick hair and adds to the realism of the pony play.

The plug itself is one step up from beginner. Anyone who has used other anal toys should have no trouble with this toy. The thickest part is 1.5" in diameter. Beginners will have to take it slowly to get past that, but it should not be an issue. The length of the plug is 5" with 4.5" insertable, which should be no issue to insert even for a beginner. The plug stays in very well with no assistance whatsoever. Once you stand up with it in, you cannot see the plug at all and all that shows is the tail. The tail is very pleasing to the eye and feels great. The hair feels like it is a great quality; however, I doubt the quality of how the tail is attached to the plug. It seems like the tail would eventually rip out of the plug. However, that has not happened to me yet.

The name of this is misleading. Do not get this if you are hoping to use this as a whip. Although it can be used as a whip, there is simply not enough weight in the hairs for it to pack any sort of punch. It has a light sting to it, but that is all you can really get out of it.

The performance is amazing with this. I never once had to worry if the plug was going to come out on its own. It stays in very well and is comfortable. The tail also holds up very well and is quite realistic. There were no performance issues that I could find with this.

Care for this toy is simple. Silicone and water-based lubes should work without any issue, and cleaning is as easy as soap and water.
