Buddy is a silicone butt plug from Vixen Creations. This is the first Vixen toys I've had and I have to say I'm impressed. I love the plushness of the silicone, and how it's flexible and has just the right amount of squish to it. The silicone is seamless and has just a slight drag to it. I did not notice any smell. I can't really vouch for taste since butt plugs are not something I normally put in my mouth! I got the silver one which is a beautiful clear silicone with lots of silver glitter in it.

This plug is great for beginners, it's about the length of a finger, and actually crooks like one too. The bottom part is wider than a finger, but not by too much, I like this added thickness since it gives you a fuller feeling (which is awesome if you're going for a DP feel during sex!). There is a nice wide base, so you can feel safe using this, it's definitely not going to accidentally slide up. The top is nice and tapered, which makes it easy to insert, and the flexibility also makes it pretty comfortable.

This doesn't always stay in place very well, it's better in certain positions than others. It's got a big enough and flat enough base that it's pretty easy to hold in place though when needed. This can even be nice in some positions because when my husband is holding it in place he can vary the pressure he's using against it which can add to the stimulation. I'm not into any kind of extended play, so I haven't really had a problem with trying to keep it in. If the plug would narrow more before the base it would stay much better, but that's really the only complaint that I have with the design.

When using this plug make sure to only used water based lubricant as silicone lubricant could react poorly with the silicone. You can clean Buddy with soap and warm water or some toy cleaner. If you want to sterilize Buddy you can do so with a 10% bleach solution running it through the dishwasher on the top rack or by boiling it for three minutes. Since silicone is non porous you shouldn't have an issue if you want to share Buddy, as long as you sterilize it before doing so.

To keep Buddy lint free and hair free between uses you can put it back into the cylinder that Vixen Creations packages their toys in. The can does take up a lot more space than Buddy would alone, but I still love the cylinder since it's so easy to just plop Buddy back in after using. If you have other pure silicone butt plugs or maybe some glass ones you could store them in the same canister with Buddy, which will help save some room in your drawer, toy box, etc. This is what I have started doing, I have three in there and could probably fit a few more. With the three I have it allows them each to stand up right, and makes it easy to choose the one I want.
