We’re already on day five of my quest to review Lovehoney’s “Best Sex of Your Life” sex toy advent calendar day by day! There have been a couple of hits and a couple of misses so far, so it’s a mixed bag. Despite the annoyingly gendered marketing, many of the items in this set are suitable for folks of any gender and with any body parts.
Let’s open up Door #5, shall we?
Door #5: Slimline Silicone Butt Plug
Today’s surprise is a slimline silicone butt plug. Let’s start with some quick basic details:
- Material: Silicone.
- Colour: Black.
- Body safe? Yes – silicone is body-safe and non-porous. This also means it’s safe to share this plug with a partner as long as you sterilise it properly between uses.
- Power: N/A
- Waterproof: Yes, submersible.
- Size: 4.5″ in total length, 1.3″ in diameter at widest point.
- Lube compatible: Yes, water-based and oil-based.
- Cleaning: Boiling or a 10% bleach solution.
The gently tapered design and slim neck make this plug easy to insert and comfortable to wear, and the silicone is soft and high quality. It is middling-firm to the touch, with some flex towards the tip and plenty of flex in the neck.
The cool thing about this butt plug is that it features a sling style base, allowing you to use it in conjuction with the bullet vibrator from day 1. You’ll need to push quite firmly to get the vibe into the sleeve, but once it’s in it stays put securely. It will also pair with any slim bullet vibe you have in your collection.
The silicone transmits vibrations very effectively on all settings, allowing you to experiment with a range of anal play sensations. Whether you use the plug on its own or with the vibe, don’t forget to use tonnes of lube. I recommend a thick water-based lube designed for anal play, such as Sliquid Sassy.
This is a great butt plug for beginners or toybag staple for more experienced folks. Use it by itself for anal exploration, or leave it in while you do other things such as hand sex, oral sex, or penetrative play.
Yes, Door #5 is a winner!
