It seems like I’ve reviewed a lot of big and thick anal toys lately, but now it’s time to look at something that’s great for first timers. I’ve tried a lot of the b-Vibe anal toys in the past and there are good things to say about all of them. But even some of the smaller toys they sell can be daunting to those who’ve never put anything in their butt before, so now the company has put out a great boxed set for anal newbies. It’s called the b-Vibe Anal Training and Education Set, and it not only includes three high-quality silicone butt plugs, but an enema bulb, a lube shooter, and a nice illustrated guide book to anal play. Peepshow Toys is now stocking this kit and asked if I’d give it a look. Here are my thoughts.

The b-Vibe set comes nicely packaged in a fairly big box. The paperback booklet is resting on top of the other items, which are individually sealed in their own packaging. I’ll be looking at each component of the kit individually, so let’s start with the book.

THE BOOK

The b-Vibe Complete Guide to Anal Play is a 50-page book that will be a helpful primer for those who are interested in anal toys, but have never tried one. There’s a nice “Getting Started” section that gives basic information and answers your general questions about anal play. Then it explores the anatomy itself and includes anatomical diagrams to help any user find his or her way around the area. If you’ve got a prostate, you’ll appreciate the diagrams showing you just where to find it on yourself. Since prostate stimulation can bring great pleasure, you’ll want to study up on this section, because the included toys are each designed with prostate play in mind. The book goes on to talk about anal hygiene and explains how to use the included enema that’s in the kit. There’s a section on proper lubrication and instructions on using the lube launcher that comes in the box. I’ll be looking at each of these items more closely down below. Once you’ve learned how to clean and lubricate your hole, the book goes on to give tips for toy play, some information on anal sex (for those who are interested) and even has some good info on how to care for your butt after you’re finished playing. I think it’s great that b-Vibe included such an easy-to-understand guide with the kit. I think many users who are curious about anal activities might have certain hesitations about butthole play, but the guide book certainly covers just about any topic a newcomer might have questions about. The accompanying illustrations are helpful as well.

THE ENEMA BULB

The easiest way to get your ass clean for any kind of anal play is to wash out the area with warm water, and you can easily do that with the enema that b-Vibe has tucked into the kit. It’s been awhile since I’ve used a traditional bulb enema (I tend to use the larger silicone bag/hose/nozzle system I’ve attached to my shower), but this type of anal douche is really the easiest for first-timers to use. The bulb is made of a thick, sleek squishy material (not sure if it’s silicone or not, but it doesn’t have any funny odors) and is generously proportioned. The nozzle has just over two-and-a-half inches to insert in your butt and is made of hard plastic. It might be more comfortable if the material was flexible, but the tip really isn’t that thick so if you exercise care during insertion you should be fine.

To use, fill the bulb with warm (not hot) water from the tap. I found it was easier to remove the plastic tip while filling and gently squeeze the bulb, releasing as you hold the opening under the stream of water. This creates a vacuum and will allow the enema to fill more quickly. Once the bulb is full, carefully insert the short end of the nozzle into the bulb. Be sure to lubricate the entire length of the tip before attempting to insert it in your hole. The tip is fairly skinny (about the girth of a drinking straw), but the plastic won’t bend, so ease it inside gently. An unintentional jab from this thing will ruin your first anal experience quickly! Having trouble finding your hole with the tip? Since you’re doing a reach-around, it might be a challenge for newbies. Press the tip of your index finger (same hand that’s guiding the bulb) against the end of the nozzle tip and use your fingertip to find your anal opening. Once you feel it, gently push the enema forward and slowly ease the insertable portion of the nozzle up inside your hole. You don’t have to go all the way, but the deeper you can go, the better. Once you have the nozzle inside you, gently squeeze the water-filled bulb and force as much of the contents up inside you as can. Resist the urge to squeeze and release repeatedly. This enema doesn’t have a one-way valve on it, so if you release the bulb while it’s inserted, the (now-soiled) water will get pulled back into the enema bulb very easily, which will make this gadget way more difficult to clean when you’re done. It’s better to push as much water up inside your ass as you can force out with one protracted squeeze, then — with the bulb still depressed in your grip —ease the nozzle out. If you’ve filled the bulb fairly full, you should have plenty of water inside you at this point. Hold the water until you feel the urge to evacuate, then simply sit on the toilet and push it out. You might have to repeat the process a few times, until the water comes out fairly clean. Once you’re finished with the cleaning, you’re ready to lubricate.

THE LUBE SHOOTER

I’ve never actually owned a lube shooter, so I was pretty excited to finally try one. Since the number one rule of anal play is “Lube! Lube! Lube!,” the inclusion of a lubricant launcher is a nice extra. It’s basically a two-piece plastic syringe that allows you to easily put lubricant into your anus for toy play or anal sex. b-Vibe suggests inserting the shooter directly into the lube container, but I actually poured a small amount into a little plastic container and sucked it up into the launcher. With the small amount left in my cup, I generously lubricated the outer shell of the syringe and saved the rest to lubricate the toy I was using.

Once your lube shooter is loaded, you follow a procedure similar to that of the enema. Ease the tip of the shooter into your hole and gently slide the plunger down. The lube will be deposited inside your hole, so you won’t have to be constantly applying more lube to the toy, or use your fingers to work lube up inside your butt. What can I say? I loved this thing! I’m sorry I didn’t have one before now. I barely felt the syringe slide into my hole and it really kept everything nice and slippery for the whole session. Now that you’re lubed, you’re ready for your first toy.

THE SMALL PLUG

The smallest of the trio is just your basic buttplug. No vibe, no weighted balls, just a solid silicone toy with a nicely rounded tip and a gentle curved base to keep the plug anchored safely at your hole. At just under 4 inches long (3.4″ insertable), this might just be the smallest butt plug I’ve ever played with. But if you hold it next to your index finger, you’ll see why it’s the perfect size for both anal newbies and those who prefer small toys. It’s pretty much the exact same size as a forefinger. You might be curious about having your hole fingered, but you haven’t reached the point where you can actually do it. With a plug that’s an ideal size, you can easily see what all the fuss is about.

Even though you’ve already lubricated your hole with the lube shooter, you still need to apply some lubricant to the surface of the toy. Start at the tip and make sure the entire thing is coated, down the narrow neck just above the wide base. Find a comfortable position for your body and relax the muscles of your hole as much as you can. Gently press the Small plug’s rounded tip to your hole. It’s not a race, so take your time.

When starting out with any anal toy, I like to employ a slow poking motion with the tip. Rub it like a fingertip against your hole and — when you’re ready — slowly push the tip inside. Tickle the inner edge of the hole and ease the plug back out. Repeat the penetration, going slightly deeper each time you tease your hole with the plug. Don’t be afraid to use more lubricant if things feel tight. Take some deep relaxing breaths during penetration and allow your hole to relax a bit if things tense up. The fastest way to mess up an anal session is by taking things too quickly and causing the muscles in your ass to clench up and cause discomfort or pain. If you allow yourself to relax, you’ll gradually be able to ease more of the plug inside. This Small plug has a maximum width of one inch, so you’ll feel your hole stretched open a bit as the wide part of the toy opens you up. Then the hole will close up around the more narrow neck. Allow the base to rest in your crack. The plug is now all the way in.

Without a vibrator, the only stimulation from this Small plug is manual. You can either leave the plug seated in your hole and use your anal muscles to clench it, or — when you feel ready — slide it back out. While butt plugs aren’t typically used for thrusting, the size and shape of this one makes it fun for some in-and-out fun, if you’re looking to approximate the sensation of being fingered. I prefer to just leave the plug in and allow my ass to do the work. Depending on how deep inside your prostate is, you may or may not get some delicious sensations as the tip of the plug prods this sensitive P-spot. If the Small one doesn’t quite reach, there are still two larger plugs in the kit you can work your way up to.

THE MEDIUM PLUG

Compared with the Small plug, the next size up might be a little daunting to first timers. It’s a little bit longer (5.3″ total with 4.4″ insertable) and a bit thicker in the middle. The Small plug sports a max width of 1″ and the Medium’s maximum width is 1.4″. Like the Small plug, the Medium is made of soft silicone and has a nice solid feel to it. While you can use it without extra stimulation, b-Vibe has outfitted the middle plug with a rechargeable vibrator. As you might guess from their name, b-Vibe is known for their powerful vibrating toys. While this plug doesn’t come packed with all the bells and whistles of some of their bigger and badder vibrating toys, the buzz you can get from this starter plug is still pretty damn nice!

If you want to use the vibrator, you’ll need to charge it up before use. All of b-Vibe’s motorized toys are easily charged with a magnetic charger. Just click the magnets to the pair of metal leads on the base of the toy and connect the charging cord to a compatible USB port. The toy will start to pulse with a soft blue LED light as it powers up. There is an estimated two-hour charging time and the vibe should run for almost 90 minutes if it’s fully charged before use.

In addition to the large booklet in the kit, there’s also a nice user’s guide for each of the items in the box. Be sure to save this insert, because it explains how to charge the vibrating plug and offers instructions on how to power it up, cycle through the vibrator settings, turn it off, and lock the motor when not in use. There’s even a chart illustrating the waves of the vibrating patterns. This plug doesn’t include a remote like some of the more deluxe b-Vibe toys, and with single button operation (especially since the button is out of sight on the base when the plug is inserted), it could be a little tricky to learn how to operate it. I like to play around with vibrating toys before I put them in, so I can get a handle on how everything works before it’s inside me. Operating the vibe is really quite simple once you learn the ins and outs. Power it On, then use the button to click your way through the toy’s 6 different settings. I counted 4 different intensities on the solid vibes, and there are 5 patterns you can use to shake things up. I like that the lowest level is somewhat mild, so you can start out pretty tame and work your way up to the more intense settings.

The b-Vibe guide makes an interesting point about anal stimulation and that is it doesn’t have to involve penetration to feel nice. You can absolutely use this (or either of the other plugs) to externally stimulate your hole or the sensitive area around it before making the leap to penetration. This Medium plug is perfect for that. Go ahead and lube the toy and power it up. On its lowest setting, start to tease your hole and the area around it with just the tip of the plug. You can adjust the intensity up or down to your liking. Once you’re ready to penetrate, use the same technique as with the smaller plug. Lots of lube, and gently insert a little more of the plug at a time, until you take as much as you’re comfortable with. If you can take the whole thing, allow the base to rest against your ass. You can either use the plug without vibrations or play around with the motor to see how you like it.

If it’s prostate stimulation you’re after, this Medium plug should be long enough to reach. Explore both manual stimulation of the P-spot and try it with vibrations. As you can see from the above diagram, the little bullet vibe inside this toy isn’t directly in the tip, but the vibe should be strong enough to really make your prostate feel the sensations. Experiment with holding the plug in place, or gently thrusting it in and out of your hole, especially with the vibrator teasing you. Always remember to apply lots of lubricant during use, and don’t be afraid to slather on some more if removing the plug seems tricky.

THE LARGE PLUG

Are you ready to go even bigger? b-Vibe has included a third plug in the set for when you graduate from the vibrating plug. At first glance, this bigger of the trio doesn’t look too much longer than the one that comes before it, but there isn’t a thick base on the Large (the Medium’s base is bigger, to accommodate the workings of the vibrator). The Large has a total length of 5.4″ and inserts a total of 4.8 inches. The widest part of the plug is thicker, too, measuring 1.6″ before narrowing at the neck.

Even though the Medium plug comes outfitted with such a nice vibrator, I think the Large might be my favorite. Instead of a vibrator, b-Vibe has put a pair of weighted balls inside. Not only does this give the plug a great solid feel, but you can actually notice the balls tapping together inside. This gives the user some extra stimulation.

Same rules apply for insertion, especially since this plug is quite a bit bigger. Lube it generously and ease it in and out a little at a time. The embedded weights really do make this third plug more heavy and solid, so take extra care during penetration, because there isn’t any give like you’ll find in the smaller two plugs in the kit. b-Vibes has a popular line of Snug Plugs that each (with the exception of the smallest) have two weighted balls inside, so you’ll enjoy the same sensations that those plugs give, but in a more traditional butt plug shape. I like that they’ve given the weighted toy a more graduated shape, which I think is an easier fit for anal newbies. The neck on this version is a lot thicker, so you might want to upgrade to a Snug Plug if you prefer to have your hole more fully closed up during use.

One nice thing about the dual weights inside is that you can move around with the plug inserted and feel them tapping away. Lots of extra sensations if you’re up for this. It might take awhile to reach that point, but a lot of anal toy users enjoy nothing more than working in their favorite plug and moving about with it inside. Some will even wear the plug under the clothing and venture out into the great outdoors, a smile on their faces as the plug stimulates their hole and sends delicious sensations into the prostate. Obviously, this sort of thing might be a better activity for more advanced users, but it’s definitely something to work up to. Start with wearing the plug around the house and then, when you feel comfortable with the idea, a short excursion with the plug inside you might make for a fun adventure.

Even if you don’t ever reach the point where you want to wear the plug while up and about, the Large plug is still a great deal of fun. You can just as easily enjoy the sensations by working the plug into your hole and then employing a series of taps on the base. I personally like working it all the way in and then enjoying a protracted masturbation session, bearing down on the solid plug every time I feel myself nearing climax. For me, squeezing the plug during orgasm makes everything feel amazing! However you decide to use it, the weighted plug is a great addition to the kit, and gives you something to look forward to as you work you way through the butt plugs from smallest to largest.

I’d definitely recommend this anal kit to anyone who has been thinking about giving butt play a go and wasn’t quite sure what toys to start with. It’s a great way to start small and simple and ease into larger toys with more features (multi-function vibrator/weighted balls). The book gives lots of practical advise to anal newbies and the included enema and lube shooter can only help. Even experienced users will appreciate those extras. There’s even a zippered pouch to store the plugs in (don’t forget to the keep the charging cord with the Medium plug!). Even if you have already had fun with anal toys, this boxed set is a great idea for those who prefer toys on the smaller side.

This review is the first of three for Peepshow Toys in a series I’ve been thinking of as “Big, Bigger, and Biggest.” After testing some anal toys on the smaller end of the scale (like the Mini Teddy, the Aneros Vice 2, and b-Vibe Anal Training Plug Set), I’m now venturing into some bigger anal toys that Peepshow Toys has recently added to their collection. The “Bigger” and “Biggest” entries are forthcoming; today I’ll be looking at the “Big” one: the b-Vibe Vibrating Snug Plug XL.

If you’ve read any of my past reviews for b-Vibe products, you might remember I’ve already reviewed (and added to my Favorites) one of b-Vibe’s Snug Plugs. The original Snug Plug line features weighted silicone plugs in a torpedo shape and filled with a set¹ of steel balls that not only provide the weight, but bring about some interesting sensations when the balls click together when the plug is being worn. I tried the Medium Plug in this incarnation, so I decided to “Go Large” when I was offered one of the Vibrating Snug Plugs to review. Peepshow Toys stocks both available sizes: Medium and Extra Large. While I only tested the bigger one, I’ll be offering details about both plugs, so that those who are looking for smaller anal toys can consider this option.

Visually, the Vibrating Snug Plug XL looks almost identical to the weighted Snug Plug 4. The dimensions are slightly different: the non-vibrating version has an insertable length of 5.2 inches (13.3 cm) and a maximum diameter of 1.7 inches (4.4 cm). The neck is 1.3 inches long (3.2 cm) and has a diameter of 0.4 inch (1 cm). Comparatively, the Vibrating Snug Plug XL has an insertable length of 5.3 inches (13.6 cm), a maximum diameter of 1.7 inches (4.3 cm), a neck length that’s approximately 2 inches (5.08 cm) and diameter of 0.4 inch (1 cm). Both plugs are fairly heavy; the non-vibrating one weighs in at 257 grams, and the vibrating version isn’t far behind with a weight of 247 grams. Unlike the non-powered plug’s set of steel balls, the vibrating plug features a single large embedded bullet. See the following diagrams for full dimensions and internal features.

It should be noted that both the Medium and XL Vibrating Snug Plugs — like all the b-Vibe toys — are crafted from body-friendly silicone, so these are built to last and have no unseemly odors (which typically come from weird chemicals). The silicone makes the plugs easy to clean and splash-proof. Since both sizes have vibrators, the base of each plug has a magnetic charging port. When your plug needs a recharge, it’s easy to hook the cable into any USB port and click the charger directly to the magnetic base. The light pulses while it’s charging and when it turns steady, the toy is fully charged.

Operating the internal bullet is fairly easy, but because the sole control button is embedded in the base of the toy, I recommend playing around with the plug before you insert it, so you can familiarize yourself with the various speeds and patterns and how you switch them up. The operation is pretty straightforward: click the control button once and the vibe comes to life. Like most vibrating toys, the Snug Plug starts off on the lowest steady vibration setting. There are four different levels of power, each one more intense than the last. Like the other b-Vibe powered sex toys that I’ve tried, this plug is packed with a pretty strong vibrator. Even the lower settings are going to buzz nicely. Let’s talk about the shape of the Snug Plugs for a minute.

Each of the Snug Plugs — whether powered or not — sports a torpedo-like shape. The tip is somewhat rounded, then widens quickly, creating a tip that is kind of blunt. The plug quickly reaches its maximum width and stays wide. In the case of the XL Vibrating Snug Plug, this wide shaft continues for about 2 inches before the plug drops into another angled end which mimics the tip. This slope drops into the skinny, flexible neck, which gives the plug about two inches of slack to send the business end of the toy a little deeper up the ass, before the curved anal-safe base comes to rest on either side of your hole. The slim neck allows for your hole to close almost all the way, making the plug very comfortable in this region while you’re wearing it. If you enjoy getting a plug all the way in and keeping it in, this Snug Plug works quite well in that regard, even if you opt not to have the vibrator running.

The bulk of the plug — due to its girth and solidness — creates a nice full sensation and the fact that it has no give, really puts some extra pressure right where you want it (assuming you want it to press into your prostate). The larger, longer plug hits mine better than the non-vibrating Snug Plug 2 that I reviewed previously, but of course you’re dealing with a plug that’s quite a bit thicker and somewhat longer. The extra girth makes it a little more difficult to work inside my hole, and the blunt-style tip means it takes a lot more patience and effort to comfortably insert it, when compared with other b-Vibe plugs (like the Rimming Plug, the Trio Plug, or any of the smaller/slender plugs available in the Anal Training Kit). The bulk of the solid plug also means it’s a hole stretcher, at least in the case of the XL version, but once the toy moves beyond the hole, it certainly feels quite comfortable, given that the solid portion is doing a number a little bit deeper. For both insertion and for long-term wear, be sure to use plenty of lube. That is, tons! The lube shooter that comes inside the b-Vibe Anal Training Kit is perfect for pre-lubing a hole that’s about to take a larger/more solid butt toy, and it’s a great implement to have on hand when you’re ready to pop the toy back out, just to make sure everything is nice and slippery when you’re about to pull pull pull. Again, the girthy part of the toy will probably stretch tighter holes, but the extra lube will really help. Be sure to have a good grasp on the base during removal; the weight of this thing makes it easy to go flying once it pops free and you don’t want to damage anything once it pops loose. ? The anchor-like base comes in handy if you set the toy down on a smooth, flat surface; it keeps it from rolling away and possibly falling.

Let’s go back to when the toy was still inside and talk about that vibrator. Even though it’s just a sole bullet (I’m basing this on the diagram b-Vibe provides), it still puts out a decent amount of stimulation, especially when you compare this one with some of the multi-vibed powerhouses that b-Vibe has put out (like my fave 3-bullet anal beads). The steady vibes — especially on the higher settings — really get a P-spot a’janglin’. The whole torpedo buzzes with sensation and it feels really great. Even the neck and the base quiver nicely. There are six pulse patterns and these feel pretty amazing as well:

1. a slow steady pulsing
2. a faster steady pulsing
3. a circular revving from hard to harder
4. a longer steady revving from slow to harder and back again (and again)
5. a hard steady revving that has uneven stronger pulsations
6. an erratic pattern of fast/slow pulses and steady vibes. Great for those who want a little of everything; just lie back and enjoy it!

As good as the vibes feel with this chunky plug resting in the prostate gland region, the vibrations can turn insertions (and withdrawal for that matter) into an entirely different experience. The rounded tip pressed hard into your spreading hole feels even better when the vibrator is running and having your hole stretched wide and holding the plug in place (it’s a little difficult when there’s lots of lube involved) while the motor pulses away will really make things feel interesting. Damned if I didn’t almost cum before the plug was even inside me.

If this XL version of the Vibrating Snug Plug seems a little too intense for your liking or personal experience level, not to worry. Peepshow Toys is also stocking a smaller version of this toy: The Vibrating Snug Plug Medium. While I didn’t test this smaller version, it has a similar size to the non-vibrating Snug Plug 2 that I did try (and loved!) in 2017. With an insertable length of 4.3 inches (11.1 cm) and a more manageable diameter of 1.2 inches (3 cm), this smaller version might be more to your liking. Of course the smaller Vibrating Snug Plug isn’t quite as heavy as the XL version (112 grams vs. 247 grams), but these are still nice solid plugs, with the same 4 vibration levels and 6 vibration patterns as the XL has. Here’s a side by side comparison of the Medium Vibrating Plug and the (non-vibrating) Snug Plug 2:

I’d definitely recommend the vibrating variation of the Snug Plug to anyone who loves the feeling of fullness from a nice solid plug and wants to add some power to the experience. The flexible neck allows for added comfort and this makes extended wear way more easy to handle. I’m not sure the Vibrating Snug Plug XL will replace the Petite Rimming Plug or the Cinco Anal Beads as my favorite b-Vibe vibrating toy, but I’m certainly glad I went with the XL version of this toy for those times when I want my hole stretched, my hole filled, and my hole and prostate pleasured with vibration. The link below has Vibrating Snug Plugs in either size, so you can go with the one that feels best for you. Following that, I’ll also include links to the non-vibrating versions of each plug and my review for the smaller of the two. Ready to pick one up? Find them at Peepshow Toys:

Today I’m looking at another butt plug from SquarePegToys®: the Charlie Horse Milk It prostate massager. Peepshow Toys sent me this plug along with its mate, the Charlie Horse Kidney, which I reviewed last December. As you can see from my side-by-side snapshot of the two plugs, they are remarkably similar in size and shape; the Milk It has a jagged-looking outer edge designed to deliver more stimulation to the prostate gland.

Like the Kidney, the Milk It plug is made of SuperSoft silicone, so it’s soft and squishy. The silicone SquarePegToys® uses to manufacture its toys is 100% American-sourced and platinum cured. Being silicone, this sex toy is body-safe, which is great for anal play. Not only is this plug comfortable, but you won’t have to worry about potentially harmful chemicals leeching from the toy into your sensitive anal lining. Like the Kidney (and many other SquarePegToys® items) the Milk It plug is a deep bronze color and has a beautiful metallic-looking appearance.

Here are some measurements I took: the Milk It runs an overall length of 6 inches, with an insertable length of about 4.75 inches. For a prostate toy, it’s fairly thick, with a maximum width of around 2.25” at the chunkiest point of the plug. There’s a generous (and fairly thick) neck that runs 1.25” in length with a max diameter of 1.4 inches. The anal-safe base is a soft and pliable and measures 3.5” along the flat bottom.

As I did with the Kidney, I used an oil-based lubricant called The Butters that goes on fairly thick and turns to a slippery liquid once body heat warms it up. Since it doesn't need to be reapplied constantly, The Butters works very well with the bigger items from SquarePegToys®. You want to make sure you’re using plenty of lube with this plug. Even though it’s soft and has a lot of give to it, the wider part can be a little difficult to insert. Pre-lube your hole and don’t be afraid to add even more lube to the thicker parts of the toy as needed. As with any anal toy, take your time during penetration. Go ahead and get your (lubed) fingers in there to grease your tight hole while compressing the wider aspects of the plug. The soft silicone is squishy enough to help work it into tight spots. Once you push the chunkier areas up inside you, the Milk It is very comfortable for its size.

You can tell the people who design the plugs and dildos at SquarePegToys® actually use the stuff they make and have taken suggestions from their customers when it comes to releasing sex toys that work wonderfully well. The shape is perfect and the fit is snug and filling, without being uncomfortable. I’m sure the Milk It in a firmer silicone (Peepshow Toys now stocks the black FIRM version) would apply more pressure to the prostate, but the zigzag edge on this toy still gives a pretty amazing massage.

Standing up and walking around with the Milk It inserted gave me more of an intense experience, but it was still fairly exceptional using it while maintaining a stationary position, especially whenever I’d apply some firm pressure with the tips of my fingers to the base of the plug, working the textured edge into my prostate gland. A good indicator that an anal toy is working well with my own prostate is the presence of precum before orgasm, and the precum was really leaking while using this plug. The orgasm itself was unbelievably intense, probably because the plug is quite bulky and gives the constricting anal muscles something to grab onto and grind against during climax. The Milk It's distinct ridges definitely increase stimulation as well.

I can say the Charlie Horse Milk It is now my favorite of all the SquarePegToys® items I’ve tried. I kind of wish Peepshow Toys would add a firmer version just for those who desire something with a little less give (which I think would make for even more acute prostate stimulation), but I honestly thought the SuperSoft silicone worked damn well for a more leisurely and protracted prostate massage session.

NOTE: This review was first released on December 10, 2021

I’m looking at another interesting sex toy for Peepshow Toys: the Backdoor Banger from Evolved. It’s a rechargeable butt plug with thrusting action. At first glance, it’s pretty small (as butt plugs go), so let’s take a closer look and see how it works.

The Backdoor Banger isn’t the first toy I’ve tried from this company. In fact, I reviewed their plastic battery-powered prostate massager—the Get a Grip—for this site back in 2015. Due to the way that toy pressed against my prostate, it was an early favorite, and the only reason I don’t use it much any more is because the cap on the base that holds the batteries in place kept popping lose, thereby shutting down the toy’s powerful motor.

Fast forward six years and I’m ready to try this newer toy from Evolved. They’ve certainly, uh, evolved a bit themselves, as the Backdoor Banger is a silicone-coated toy, and the mechanical inner workings are powered by rechargeable means. And though the plug has a nice solid feel to it, the silicone gives it a softer texture, and a somewhat bendable neck offers more flexibility than the Get a Grip massager had.

Charging the plug is easy. One end of the included cable pops into any USB-type slot and the other is a metal pin that snugly fits into a hole in the base of the toy. There’s a compatible remote control that operates the powered feature of the Backdoor Banger, and that requires a small A23 battery (one is included).

Lets look at the plug itself. Like any powered sex toy, you don’t actually have to turn it on to get some good pleasure out of it. The Backdoor Banger runs about 5⅓ inches from base to tip, so it’s fairly small compared to many anal toys. The insertable length is about 4 inches. The more slender neck slowly widens into the anal-safe base.

The plug has three ripples in the top part, giving it the shape of a (melting) snowman. The tip’s about an inch wide and an inch deep, before spreading out into the second bulge, which has a thickness of 1.33 inches. This second bulge narrows slightly then spreads out into the third and widest portion which measures 1.59″.

Once your hole spreads enough to accommodate this bulge, it’ll drop down into the more-slender neck, which is a little less than an inch thick. As I mentioned before, this portion of the toy is more bendable. The rippled upper aspect is a more solid silicone and has a much firmer feel to it. Be sure to slather your new toy with plenty of water-based lube, especially if you’re a newcomer to anal toys, or you haven’t used any in awhile. I found the third ripple to be a little bit of a hole stretcher, so don’t hesitate to add more lube and take some extra time if you’re trying to push it all the way in. Even without the thrusting feature turned on, working in the thicker midsection could cause some discomfort if you try to hurry things along.

As a manual plug, the Backdoor Banger was perfectly pleasant. It wasn’t overly huge, but felt comfortable once fully seated. The more solid upper part put some nice pressure on my P-spot just by sitting on the plug (and the small round base isn’t too bad for this), but I really wanted to get the thing turned on so I could see how it felt once it started to thrust.

Before I inserted the plug up my butt, I played around with it a little bit and could tell there was something rocking around inside the core. It felt like at least one metal ball that could travel up and down the inside of the plug’s neck. It reminded me of some of the high-tech pulsators from Fun Factory, not all of which are anal-safe and/or suitable for all beginners due to size concerns. Plus those cost about twice as much as this Evolved plug.

You can control the thrusting/thumping feature with either the button on the plug’s base, or with the small remote (pictured). You’ll have to have the plug turned on to use the remote. It’s simple to use; with only one button on there, you can turn the plug on once it’s inside your hole and then press the remote button to kickstart the thumping. It starts with a steady pulsing and each click makes it a little more intense. Like many powered sex toys, the “steady” settings are followed by a couple patterns. I found the patterns more fun once I got used to the steady pounding. The shape of this plug worked pretty well for me as a prostate massager (even without the thumping), but the thrusting brought it to a new level. It’s not a long toy, like a dildo would be, so I’d recommend this one more for targeted stimulation of the prostate or for those who don’t want or need something extra deep. Need to quit the thrusting when things get too intense? Simply press and hold the button on the remote and it’ll shut down. (I like the little double-tap from inside the plug each time it’s silenced.)

The banging motion definitely added some extra stimulation to an already-fine prostate massage, and the stop-and-start of the first pattern really felt great. This setting delivers seven rapid pounds, then grows quiet for a protracted moment before launching back into the pounding. For me, this pause made me aware of a delicious tickle near my prostate, which I could enjoy every time the hammering stopped. The selections wrap up with an erratically-paced setting that feels great too, but I kept coming back to the stop/start one, because it felt so good.

The toy is coated entirely in body-safe silicone, and it’s totally waterproof. So go ahead and try it out in the bath or shower, and don’t worry about getting it wet when you’re cleaning it up after using it. And kudos to the flat base. After scrubbing it clean, it dried a lot faster since I could stand it up without it tipping over. During use, don’t hesitate to press on the base to see if you can get some even deeper prostate sensations!

I definitely recommend the Backdoor Banger to anyone looking for a unique plug that offers powered stimulation without using standard vibrations. This plug is pretty perfect for those who want a smaller version of more expensive pulsators. I kind of hope Evolved will use this technology in some other designs suitable for anal pleasure. I’d love to see something with a totally smooth (i.e. non rippled) shaft that has a slight curve for targeted prostate pressure. Still, as a stand alone product, the Backdoor Banger is pretty great at what it does.

NOTE: This review was originally released on October 19, 2017

After trying out and enjoying the LA Pump Deluxe Pump Kit, Peepshow Toys asked if I would like to test and review a new butt plug: the Snug Plug from b-Vibe. I’m a big fan of b-Vibe’s Rimming Plug and their Trio Plug, so this was a new toy I was eager to try. The Snug Plug is a torpedo-shaped weighted butt plug made of silicone.

Before I even opened the Snug Plug package I was impressed. As with their vibrating plugs, everything b-Vibe seems to do is top quality, from design and manufacturing, to packaging and presentation. The Snug Plug came stylishly packaged. The plug comes nestled in a sleek clear-fronted display box. Under the insert that holds the plug is a nice collapsible zippered storage case for your plug, along with a detailed user’s guide, complete with instructions in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German and Russian, as well as helpful diagrams to aid with insertion and removal, which is a nice extra if you’re new to anal toys. If you’re an anal toy newbie, you can also read through the included b-Vibe Guide to Anal Play booklet for even more detailed information on safe anal play.

Now let’s check out the Snug Plug! The package lets you know these details: it’s made of bodysafe silicone, and the design is perfectly seamless. This might not seem important, but even a slight manufacturing seam in the material can cause discomfort when you’re using a toy anally. The silicone itself is very silky feeling and totally smooth. As with all sex toys made with silicone, there’s no offensive odor, always a plus in my book. The plug is waterproof, and it’s weighted. I was sent the Snug Plug 2, the second in their 4-plug series¹. All four have the same basic design. Snug Plug 1 is very slim and features only one weighted ball in its core. Snug Plugs 2 through 4 each contain two metallic balls, and each successive model carries more length, girth and weight than the one before it. See the chart below for how each of the Snug Plugs measure up in a side-by-side comparison. Their respective weights and product measurements are included too.

While the inner balls of Snug Plug 2 do bump against each other slightly if you shake the plug up and down, unless you’re really moving around while using the toy, you’re not going to feel too much going on with the balls. It’s more of a subtle sensation. I’m guessing their main purpose is to add weight and a solid core to what would otherwise be a soft pliable plug. In this regard, b-Vibe has created a great plug. Contrasting with the soft silicone outer layer, the inner metallic core is nice and solid and has a great heft. If you grip the plug during use, you’ll notice a slight give before feeling that hard solid core.

The Snug Plug has a torpedo-like shape, with a thin and slightly curved anal-safe base that doubles as a handle, and a more slender “neck” between. While the shape varies from the typical “cone” shaped butt plug, this design actually works wonderfully if you’re looking for something that is easily inserted, has a bit of thicker girth in the center, and then eases into a skinny neck to allow your hole to close almost all the way up. My biggest complaint about butt plugs is when they have a widely-flared lower aspect that quickly narrows into a small neck…and it seems like typically the neck is too short! This design flaw usually leaves your hole feeling like the plug is trying to push its way back out, or the base is being pulled uncomfortably against your crack. b-Vibe has designed a plug that not only sits comfortably up your butt, but whose handle rests cozily between your cheeks. “Extended wear stimulation” claims the package. With this clever design, it’s not only possible, but pleasant. I hate to say you forget you’ve got a butt plug inside you, but it’s certainly a comfortable fit for an extended session. Since the Snug Plug 2 isn’t overly large (at least for me), an extended session was a pleasure, never a pain. All I had to do to remind myself that I was enjoying this plug was to bear down with my ass muscles and feel the nice heavy girth of the toy. As comfortable as the base is, I think the extra length of the neck is the real genius of the Snug Plug. It really make a difference, at least for my own personal anatomy.

Now let’s look at some measurements. The Snug Plug I tried (model 2) has the following specs: the total insertable length is 4.3 inches (11 cm), the diameter at its widest part is 1.2 inches (3.1 cm) with a circumference of 3.8 inches (9.6 cm), the neck diameter is 0.4 inches (1 cm), and the weight of the plug is 114 grams. Consult the comparison chart near the top of the review to see how the other three Snug Plug models stack up against this one.

The package specifically states not to use silicone lubricant with this toy, so I used a high-quality water-based lube (Sliquid Naturals Sassy lubricant). Put lots of lube on your Snug Plug! The smooth texture of the toy means it has a little bit of “grab” during insertion if it’s not well lubricated. I’ve found that it’s easier to pull a toy out when you’re done if you’ve given it a little extra lube when you’re putting it in. If you’ve greased it up well, it should ease right in. The narrow rounded tip eases gently into the thicker middle. If it sticks at all or feels like it’s not gliding effortlessly, apply more lubrication. This is pretty much the most important rule of anal toy play. You’ll feel the wide portion open you up, and then a nice sensation will follow as the toy tapers off into the neck. You’ll momentarily have the feeling that the toy is being pulled out of your grasp, but the handle will come to rest against your hole, and you’ll know it’s locked into place.

As I said before, once the Snug Plug is totally inserted, you can either bear down on it and enjoy its solidness inside you, or you can let yourself go totally relaxed and enjoy feeling it nestled up your butt. I can’t remember using a more comfortable anal toy! Strangely, it’s difficult to find a plug that’s comfortable to sit on, but the Snug Plug is perfect for this. I know a lot of people like to put in a butt plug and move around. While I didn’t keep my own Snug Plug in for hours, I did keep it in for awhile and had no trouble moving around with it inside me. It stayed firmly in place and wasn’t uncomfortable at any time. I think if you wanted to put a toy up your butt while you’re “out and about,” this would be an ideal choice.

While the Snug Plug 2 wasn’t quite long enough for deep prostate massage, I did get some nice P-spot jolts while gripping my plug. I have a feeling the longer 3 or 4 model would feel even better for prostate stimulation, especially since they are thicker and heavier. Still, I think the 1 or 2 models are great choices for guys who want to try a butt plug, but want to start with something that isn’t terribly thick.

When you’re finished with your Snug Plug, use the base as a handle to slowly and carefully extract the toy from your hole. While mine was still nicely lubed, you can always add a little fresh lube while pulling the plug out, in case it’s not gliding as easily as you’d like. As with all silicone toys, you can easily clean them with some soap and hot water. Once it’s dry it fits nicely in the little included storage bag.

All in all, I can’t think of anything bad to say about this little plug. b-Vibe scores another hit with the Snug Plug. It’s well made, thoughtfully designed, goes in easy and feels great while using it. Thanks again to Peepshow Toys for letting me try it out.

Today I’m looking at another interesting sex toy from Oxballs: the Honcho Soft Silicone Butt Plug. The Honcho plug is a semi-realistic cock-shaped toy that isn’t overly long, but is quite thick. Peepshow Toys is stocking three different sizes of this toy and they sent me one to test and review. The plugs are available in a color mix exclusive to Peepshow Toys! Here are my thoughts.

NOTE: This review was originally released on November 3, 2017

Just seeing the name of certain sex toys gets me excited and the b-Vibe Rimming Plug Petite was one of them. Actually, I snapped up the original Rimming Plug back in the summer of 2016. With a length of over six inches and a diameter of 1.5 inches, the plug was a little on the large size for me. Insertion was somewhat challenging, so when I tried out the slightly smaller Trio Plug from b-Vibe (it doesn’t offer the rimming sensation, instead it gives the user three distinct vibrators), the Trio became my new go-to plug when I wanted something that vibrates. Then, b-Vibe designed a smaller version of their popular Rimming Plug: The Petite. I definitely wanted to try this.

Once again, online retailer Peepshow Toys has sent me a product in exchange for a fair and unbiased review. The product: The Rimming Plug Petite from b-Vibe. Like I said, just thinking about some toys gets me going. The masturbators that promise a blowjob-like experience. A thrusting dildo that replicates a hard cock going in and out of your hole…and a vibrating butt plug that says it can simulate one of the most pleasurable sex acts you can receive: the rimjob.

(MANUFACTURER PHOTO)

Now I’ll say right off that you aren’t going to have an identical experience when you draw up a competition between a buttplug and a human tongue. For me, all human-to-human sex acts have a component that can rarely (if ever) be replicated by a toy. Call it chemistry, sexual energy, whatever. There’s something hot about knowing a tongue is teasing and probing your hole, while human hands caress and grip your ass, and you’re both moaning in pleasure. You aren’t going to get all that from a butt plug. But, I’ll also say right off that I loved this plug. Loved!

Whatever issues I had inserting the full-sized Rimming Plug, they didn’t exist with the Petite Plug. I’ve also been using Sliquid’s water-based Sassy lubricant with all my toys lately, and I’ve noticed a big difference in how easily I can get them in, especially the larger/thicker ones. Sassy lube is a bit thicker than many water-based lubes and seems to cling to the toy better than a lot of them I’ve tried. I coated the Petite Plug with a generous layer of lube and slowly and gently eased it in. Here are the measurements for the Rimming Plug Petite:

• total length – 4.9 inches
• insertable length – 3.9 inches
• widest diameter – 1.4 inches
• neck diameter – 1 inch
• total circumference – 4.4 inches

What I typically do with vibrating butt plugs is wait until I have eased the entire toy inside to the base before I start to fiddle with added vibrations. That said, with a powerful vibrator embedded in the tip of this thing, you could easily tease your hole before penetration and I think you would find that very enjoyable. But I wanted to wait until the flared body of the plug was all the way in, the narrower neck had settled right around my hole, and the wide anal-safe base was wedged into my crack. Even without vibrations or the rimming sensation, this is a beautifully designed butt plug. When you grip it with your ass muscles you’ll note how firm and solid it is. The silicone used is soft and satiny and perfectly seamless. Like I said, use a lot of lube. For some reason, this silky silicone tends to “grab” more during insertion, and extra lube really makes the difference. You don’t want to chafe your hole…because you’re going to want to rim it! The widest part comes just before the neck. Once it’s all the way in, the wide base will come to rest between your cheeks. While the base on the Rimming Plug is wider and chunkier than that of b-Vibe’s non-powered Snug Plug, this is still an incredibly comfortable butt plug.

Once the plug slides all the way in to place and you’ve enjoyed the sensation of it being inside you, you’re going to want to start in with the vibrations. There is a strong vibrator buried in the tip of this toy which is going to really do a number on your prostate. Now every guy is going to have a slightly different anatomy. Your prostate might be slightly higher or lower than mine, so it’s impossible to predict where any given toy is going to rest. If you tend to need longer toys to reach your P-spot, you may want to opt for the regular sized Rimming Plug. All I can say is that, for me, the Rimming Plug Petite was the perfect length. Even before starting the motors, this plug was poking me in all the right places. And once I turned on the vibes? It made a great experience a fantastic one.

According to the box and the manual, the Petite Plug offers 7 different rotation (rimming) patterns and 6 vibration patterns. There are also buttons to increase or decrease the intensity, so there’s a lot of different options in one little plug. You can set it to rim only, vibrate only, or have both of them going at once. Add to that the ability to increase the intensity and you’ll understand why it’s difficult to sort out all the varying combinations. I was pretty much squirming and moaning as I was cycling through the options and the last thing on my mind was jotting down some notes.

Since this is being sold as a rimming plug, I guess you’re wondering “Does it feel like rimming?” Actually…yes! Like I mentioned earlier, I don’t think you can completely replicate analingus with a toy, but this b-Vibe plug comes pretty damn close. The toy’s rimming action works because there are rotating metal beads just under the silicone in the plug’s neck, which is the part of the plug that your hole will be wrapped around while you’re using it. Surprisingly, the movements and feel of the rimming feature do feel a lot like a tongue whirling around. You can spin it clockwise, counter-clockwise, or send it in a short spins back and forth. Or a combination of short and longer whirls. Once you add vibrations to this sensation, you’re going to lose your mind, or at least I did. Not only should your prostate get hammered, but you’ll enjoy the most tingly vibrations teasing the sensitive nerves of your hole while the rimming mechanism is doing its thing. The nice thing about the vibrator is how powerful it is, but you don’t need to have it grinding away at top speed. It feels just as good (in a different way) to enjoy a nice gentle teasing. The patterns are great, too. b-Vibe has given this vibrator some patterns I’ve never before seen in buzzy toys.

I don’t know how long you like a toy session to last, but b-Vibe claims the rechargeable battery on this thing will last an hour. I don’t think I could last an hour while this plug is up inside me doing what it does, but it’s nice to know you’re good for a long session of intense vibrations and rimming. If you do like to go longer than an hour, you might want to start out with another toy and work your way up to the Petite Plug’s tricks. You’d hate to have the thing conk out on you before you’re ready to quit. But trust me when I say you’re going to want the Petite Plug up in your hole when you cum. Got a partner who likes to have sex while using toys? Hand over the remote (it works from up to 30 feet away) and let them have their way with you.

Once you’ve driven yourself into a state of bliss, you can either use the remote to power down the plug or simply press the button on the base. Don’t forget to add some fresh lube to the toy as you (slowly) pop it out; it makes removal a lot less uncomfortable if it’s well-lubed. Clean up is super simple. Wash your Rimming Plug with hot or warm water and some antibacterial soap. The toy is splash proof, so you don’t have to worry too much about getting it wet. The thick flat base makes it easy to stand up to air dry.

Another nice thing about the b-Vibe butt plugs is they come with great storage options. Your Petite Plug comes with a hard shell zippered case that opens up to offer a storage area for your plug, plus extra storage for your plug’s remote and charger. The charger fits into any USB slot and easily connects to the base of the toy magnetically. Once the flashing light adjacent to the charging area turns solid (takes an estimated 2 hours), your plug is ready to use. The remote is controlled by an included 3V battery. Don’t forget to pull the clear plastic tab out from under the battery before your first use!

(MANUFACTURER PHOTO)

After trying the Rimming Plug Petite I think I may have met my all-time favorite anal toy. The plug is solid yet comfortable and offers an amazingly intense vibrator in the tip coupled with a wonderfully unique rimming sensation for your hole. The phrase “Pleasure Overload” keeps flashing in my head when I think about this toy. I can’t think of any negative aspects to this vibrating butt plug, but its price might be a deterrent to some sex toy buyers. Still, when you consider that it’s made of good quality silicone, comes with a powerful vibrator and a rotating mechanism that does something that no other sex toy can do, and it’s rechargeable, it’s a fair price when you realize how much use you’re going to get out of this thing. I don’t know what else b-Vibe has up its sleeve, but I know if they ever put out a Fucking Plug I’m going to be first in line to try it.

NOTE: This review was originally released on July 22, 2019

A few weeks ago I tested and reviewed the Egg Plug from SquarePegToys® for Peepshow Toys. Not long after I finished that up, I was offered another one of the silicone butt plugs from this collection: the Blunt™ Plug. Let’s see how this one compares to the Egg Plug.

At a glance, the two plugs seem fairly similar. They are both manufactured in America from hand-sculpted molds and made with 100% platinum grade silicone that’s US sourced. Peepshow Toys currently stocks the Bronze versions for both toys, which is a SuperSoft material that helps with insertion and makes for a comfortable long-term wear. I love the color, a deep coppery shade that’s just shimmery enough to give it a metallic appearance. Each plug sports a smooth rounded tip and a wide, anal-safe base. When I was first contacted to do a review for one of the SquarePegToys® plugs, I gravitated toward the Egg Plug initially because a “group photo” I had seen of the various Blunt™ Plugs made it seem as if the base of these was narrow and rounded, not wide and curved like the base on each of the Egg Plugs. Happily, this was not the case. Since the photo I had seen showed the Blunt™ Plugs positioned at a sideways angle, the anchor-like shape of each base was not that apparent. I was glad to see both sets of plugs feature a decent (wide) base for safety.

(My Photo)

When selecting a Blunt™ Plug to review, I opted for the S4, a mid-sized toy that most closely resembled the Egg Plug that I had tried out (I tested a Medium). I figured this way I could more easily compare the two. The main difference between the Egg Plugs and the Blunt™ Plugs is the size and shape of the necks. While the Egg Plugs had been designed with a relatively narrow neck, the Blunt™ Plugs have a much thicker root. This is perfect for those who desire to keep their holes stretched open while wearing the plug. Just to compare the two side by side, the Medium Egg Plug is 5 inches long and has a max width of 1.83 inches. The Blunt™ Plug I tried has a 4.5 inch length and the plug’s maximum circumference is 5.9″ with the neck’s circumference measuring 4.5″. An informal measuring of my Egg Plug gives a maximum circumference as 5.6″ with the more compact neck measuring about 3.6 inches.

Medium Egg Plug (left) vs. Blunt™ Plug S4

(My Photo)

The Blunt™ Plug is offered for those who would like their hole to gape more, and the design is successful in this regard. I was definitely more aware of the plug being inside me at all times, whereas the Egg Plug — while definitely providing a “filling” sensation — offered a more comfortable sensation overall. Which isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy the Blunt™ Plug’s unique feel. If you’ve ever used a dildo with a uniform girth, you know how this tends to hold your hole open. The Blunt™ Plug offers a similar feel. For this reason, I’d definitely recommend a Blunt™ Plug as a “trainer” of sorts for those who wish to incorporate thicker toys into their play. This is even a good choice for those who wish to try anal sex — or any kind of anal play, really — but aren’t sure what the sensation of being stretched open might feel like.

(My Photo)

One of the things I really liked about the earlier toy I tried — the Egg Plug — was how comfortable it was during a longer session. I could even move around and walk about with the plug inside. With the thicker neck, I didn’t think the Blunt™ Plug was going to perform as well as the other one for those times when I wanted to keep the plug in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the stretch the Blunt™ Plug gives is definitely noticeable the entire time it’s up inside you, but the SuperSoft silicone used in all of these plugs gives even this thicker toy a leg up, so go ahead and put it in and leave it in. While I’d want something firmer for intense prostate stimulation, the squishiness of these SquarePegToys® easily makes them some of my favorite softer sex toys. The softness makes them (at least for me) easier to push into my hole, and pull them out when I’m finished. I will say, due to the thicker neck on this one, it was even easier than the Egg Plug to remove. (The Egg Plug delivers a nice satisfying “pop” though, as the larger portion of the plug stretches you open again from the inside as you’re pulling it out of your hole.)

(My Photo)

Even though the design of the base is somewhat different from the Egg Plug, the Blunt™ Plug still works well as a butt plug you’d want to sit on. The base is nice and flat and though I kinda wish it had the upwardly-curving base that the Egg Plug has (so comfortable!) the downward-curving base on the Blunt™ is pretty comfortable as well. You definitely notice the base in your crack more than the Egg Plug, but with the thicker root of this toy stretching your hole, the base isn’t going to be that distracting. Like the Egg Plug, Peepshow Toys is stocking six different sizes of this thing, so there’s a good size for every user. There are 3 smaller versions than the one I tried, and 2 thicker ones. [Update from July 2020: the plugs are available in even more sizes! Check Peepshow Toys for details.]

(Manufacturer Product Photo)

I used my favorite water-based lube — Sliquid Sassy — on this toy and it worked great. I’ve recently been integrating a lube shooter syringe into my anal play, which makes it so much easier to deliver a nice helping of lubricant before I try to push any larger toy into my hole, and it also makes pulling anything out way easier and more comfortable. Manufactured from silicone, these plugs are body-friendly and there are no nasty chemicals inside them (which, in turn, give your toys nasty odors). Clean up is easy, too. Just be sure to let them dry completely before storing, and store them upright without being mashed in with a bunch of other stuff. Due to the softness of the material, some distortion could occur if you store them haphazardly. I’ve been putting each cleaned/dried plug back in its plastic zip bag and making sure each one stands on its flat base to help preserve its shape so I can enjoy it for years to come.

Are you ready to select your own Blunt™ Plug from SquarePegToys®? Fine the perfect one for you in six different sizes at Peepshow Toys:

SquarePegToys® is one of those brands that I’ve admired from afar, but never tried. Last week that changed when I received one of their Egg Plugs from Peepshow Toys.

Before I get to the toy, let me say a little something about SquarePegToys® as a company. This is a US-based company — in business for 22 years — that makes its toys from 100% platinum grade silicone. Not only are the pieces hand-crafted in the US, but everything is made with US-sourced raw materials. Each toy starts with an original sculpture which is turned into a mold from which the finished toy emerges.

While SquarePegToys® is known both for their unique/wild designs and their oversized anal toys, Peepshow Toys has chosen to stock somewhat more traditional pieces in their own shop. The Egg Plugs look a lot like conventional butt plugs, with a flared base and skinnier necks, with the business end of the plugs shaped like (surprise!) eggs. Designed with all experience levels in mind, the plugs range in size from Extra Small (3.5″ long) to Extra Large (6.5″ long), with girths that expand with each size increase. I requested a Medium plug, which sports a total length of 5 inches and a 1.83-inch width.

(My Photo)

Right out of the package, the Medium Egg Plug is an eye-catching piece. The bronze silicone is a stunning bold color, a beautifully solid metallic shade with some very subtle whorls throughout the plug. This is probably the softest silicone piece I have ever held in my hands. While the plug itself has a nice dense feel to it, the silicone is so soft that you can easily squeeze it. It kind of feels like one of those squishy stress balls you can squeeze in your hand, so I couldn’t wait to get it inside me and see what it felt like when I clenched it with my anal muscles. To give you an idea of size and softness, here’s a SquarePegToys® video where the Medium plug is shown off.

The egg portion of the plug has a nice shape, with a perfectly rounded tip. The plug does narrow at the neck, but it’s still pretty dense. The base is thick with curved ends, allowing the plug to anchor between your ass cheeks. The bottom of the plug is totally flat. You wouldn’t think so, but the Egg Plug easily stands on its own, in spite of the soft material and the base’s relatively narrow width. All in all, it looks and feels great, but how does it feel when you put it inside your hole?

I was initially a little concerned about insertion. Because of the super-soft material and the rounded tip, I wasn’t sure how much of a hassle it would be to push it inside me. While Peepshow Toys is suggesting pairing up the Egg Plugs with The Butters oil-based lubricant, I stuck with my regular anal toy standby: water-based Sliquid Sassy lube. Since I received a lube shooter in the b-Vibe Anal Training Kit I recently reviewed, I used that to apply some extra lube inside my hole before I attempted to penetrate. I also put a generous quantity of Sliquid on the plug, all the way down to the bottom of the neck. I was honestly prepared to have insertion be difficult, but the Egg Plug — with a minimal amount of pressing from me — popped right in. Damn, what an amazing sensation!

(My Photo)

With penetration out of the way, the plug was seated and safely anchored between my cheeks. Because of the softness and flexibility of the silicone, the plug was incredibly comfortable, inside and out. I can’t say it gave me any acute jolts of prostate stimulation on its own (compared with a completely solid anal toy, like the stainless steel Njoy Pure Wand), but the feeling of fullness and the absolute comfort of the plug was its own unique sensation.

Clenching the Egg Plug felt great. Again, there wasn’t any intense grinding against my prostate, but the ongoing low-level pressure from this thing made for a more protracted anal session. And because the plugs are so soft and comfortable, these are perfect for those who want a long session. Not only is the plug itself easy on the ass, but the base has been so thoughtfully designed. There’s nothing worse than a hard, uncomfortable base annoying your crack, taint, and/or tailbone while you’re trying to get into a butt plug, but there’s none of that with this one. Comfortable, inside and out. The flattened base makes this plug ideal for those who want to sit on the plug (even on a hard surface), especially if you want to leave it in for awhile. It’s perfect if you’re looking for an extended-wear anal toy. It’s also very comfortable as an “up and around” toy, with no discomfort while walking while it’s in. I haven’t worked up to wearing it under clothing and leaving it in while out of the house, but I’m definitely going to be trying that soon.

In case you were wondering if there was any discomfort when removing the plug, it popped out (with a little puppy-with-a-toy tugging on my part) almost as easily as it went in. You may want to rub a little extra lubricant around the neck of the toy (and your hole) while removing it, if things feel a little tight. The softness of the silicone means the plug is kind of stretchy, so it may feel like it’s not coming out as easier as some of your more solid toys. Clean up couldn’t be easier. Soap and water as soon as you’re finished and let the plug air dry before storing. SquarePegToys® recommends storing these plugs in an upright position, due to the super-soft silicone, as imprints and creases could become permanent and distort the shape. Does your toy have a persistent odor after long-term use and won’t come clean with just soap and water? Read the helpful suggestions from SquarePegToys® on removing the odors that tend to occur with softer silicones like the material used in Egg Plugs.

I can’t wait to try one of the larger plugs in the collection. Now that I know how comfortable the Medium plug is, I am pretty eager to see how the Large or even Extra Large feels inside my ass. Does the size of the Medium feel a little daunting to you? There are actually two smaller ones you can start with. The Small measures a nice 4.5″ (1.67″ width) and the Extra Small is even more manageable, with a 3.5″ length (1.35″ width). Want to go bigger than the Medium? The biggest Egg Plug Peepshow stocks is the Extra Large, measuring 6.5″ in length (2.63″ width), with the Large plug measuring 5.5″ (2.07″). Does the Large plug appeal to you, but think you’d like something thicker? Your wishes are granted with the Large XL, which sports the Large plug’s 5.5″ length with a thicker (2.39″) width. Here’s an image of all the plugs from Peepshow Toys that shows their size relative to one another:
