Marital Aid Test Kitchen: The Simply Blown Plug

Handblown glass: it's beautiful, stunning—and, as I learned today, surprisingly fun to put in your ass.

Having gone the glass dildo route before, I was not that surprised to see a solid glass butt plug in my review pile. Nevertheless, I was not convinced at first glance that the Simply Blown plug was the plug for me.

Yes, it's a beautiful toy (not to brag, but mine's even prettier than the one in the picture), but beauty alone does not a fine sex toy make. The Simply Blown plug seemed, well, small—and it's narrow profile had me worried that it might slip out at any given opportunity.

Of course, I know better than to judge a book by its cover, so I set my doubts aside and, ahem, placed the plug where the sun don't shine. And in the process, I got a very pleasant surprise.

Firstly: yes, the plug is a bit small, but that works in its favor. Because of its small size, I was able to insert the toy with almost no prep on (or in) my end. But once inside, it didn't feel all that small. The hard glass gave the toy a substantial feel—and small though it may have been, I was definitely aware of it (in the best possible way).

Secondly: contrary to my expectations, the toy did not slide out! I'm not sure what sort of voodoo was at work, but I was easily able to walk around, stand up, and sit down without the slightest hint of slippage. Quite the masterful accomplishment, if you ask me.

Ravenous butt sluts may still crave something bigger, but first timers and anal appreciators alike will no doubt enjoy adding this lovely bit of glass to their collection. I know I'm glad it's there.
