I slowly work up to inserting the #17, warming up with other toys first because I have to be very aroused to
comfortably take it. Without this type of warm-up, my experience with this toy is quite unpleasant. After starting out with a smaller starter dildo or vibe, I particularly like to use the
Evolved Bendable Silicone Rose right before using the #17 because they share a somewhat similar design: a bulbous head perched upon a slender stem. I have found that this type of design, or shape, really isolates and stimulates the G-spot, putting so much pressure on it that it engorges to the point that it releases a flood of natural lubrication. At 1.5-inches in diameter (the same size as the large head on the Njoy Pure Wand), the Bendable Rose has a smaller diameter than the 1 5/8-inch head of the #17. Plus, the Bendable Rose has a more aerodynamic teardrop-shaped head to ease insertion; so, it seems to be the perfect warm-up toy for preparing me to comfortably take the #17.
Once I do get the #17 inserted, I cannot do much maneuvering (though the prior warm-up
definitely helps). The defined round head seems to work like a plug, quite literally locking itself firmly behind my pubic bone, while my vaginal canal seems to clamp down on its new acquisition, holding it hostage. Thrusting with the large round head is just extremely uncomfortable to me, so I usually just leave the toy in place and use it as something to clamp down on while using a vibrator on my clit. But simply using my Kegel muscles on this to press it harder against my G-spot is quite pleasurable.
I have unsuccessfully tried to manually maneuver the #17 in a windshield washer-type motion like I do with my Njoy Pure Wand. The Pure Wand has two differently-sized heads, the larger of which is 1.5-inches in diameter, which is smaller than the 1 5/8-inch diameter head of the #17. I found that the larger-sized head of the #17 presented a great enough size difference to inhibit me from maneuvering the #17 in the side-to-side motion that I favor for G-spot stimulation. I was, however, able to do a rocking motion, similar to the rocking motion I like with the Pure Wand.
When playtime is over, I find that it is just as difficult for me to remove the toy as it is to insert it. Remember how I said that it seemed to "lock" into place behind my pubic bone once inserted? Well, I apparently haven't discovered the proper "key" to "unlock" it to easily remove it. I must slowly coax it out while reminding myself to breathe and relax. Now that I have used it a few times and have come to realize that, yes, I actually WILL be able to remove it just fine (. . . eventually), I no longer panic when I realize my body has a stubborn death grip on the toy. I now have my #17 "evacuation routine" down pat. I just know better than to reach for this toy for a quickie session, and I find that it is much easier to insert and remove it after a long, extended session in which I've used several other toys first. The #17 definitely makes for a very nice grand finale.
While it does have a base and is sufficiently long for maneuvering, the perfectly round, large spherical head is absolutely
not ideal for anal play. Though the diameter of the head may not seem too daunting for experienced anal players, it is the
shape of it that makes it extremely difficult to insert . . . and even more difficult (and exceptionally uncomfortable) to remove.
My husband just started experimenting with prostate stimulation this past summer, but he very, very quickly advanced in the size of the toys he was able to insert. He was able to take the
Nexus G-rider on his very first foray into exploring anal toys, which is remarkable since the G-rider is considered to be an intermediate-to-advanced anal toy (we didn't know any better at the time he decided to try it). He is also able to take the
SSA Glass Moon Shine Plug, which has the same-size diameter as the #17, with no problem. The biggest difference between the two is the shape: perfectly round (the #17) versus teardrop-shaped (the Moon Shine).
My husband is adventurous enough to be willing to try any toy that arrives on our doorstep, simply for experimentation's sake. Also, he has always been willing to gamely give a toy several tries when he does not like it the first time.
With the #17, even after warm-up and a generous helping of thick
Anal Lube, he had a very (unpleasantly) memorable time trying to insert it. He eventually gave up on his first attempt and tried again the next night, which resulted in yet another "memorable" experience. When he was finally successful in his attempts to insert it, he found that it did, indeed, provide a great deal of pressure -- but not in a pleasant way. Upon attempting to remove it, he experienced a conundrum similar to my attempts at removal: the toy simply would not budge. It took a great deal of effort for him to remove this toy. He described the experience as being akin to what it must feel like to "have a baby," "lay an ostrich egg," or to "have a lung yanked out" of the body via the anal orifice.
Upon removal (and after breathing a sigh of relief while trying to overcome the sensation of being ravaged by an endearingly cute, yet astonishingly aggressive, little yellow flower proctologist), he announced that he would
never be using this toy again. The fact that he made such a decisively firm declaration really says a lot since this is a guy who is perfectly willing to give the
Njoy Pure Plug 2.0 a whirl.
The bottom line (pun intended) is: this is not a toy for the anally faint-of-heart. As a matter of fact, unless you are one of the most anally adventurous people in the world who avidly seeks out the most challenging anal experiences (such as fulfilling a desire to discover what it feels like to lay a large, hard egg), then I strongly suggest that you designate this toy to use solely for what it seems to do best: intense G-spotting.
