Jolie Pleasures Medium Butt Plug with Finger Loop

The next step

The box is quite nice, plain simple, nothing fancy and a great looking box.

The toy looks quite attractive in my opinion as it is crystal clear and shines quite a bit, easy to see when it is clean or dirty. From the tapered tip, all the way down to the ring, the toy looks quite nice.

The toy feels good in your hands as it has a nice firmness but also has elasticity and give so you don't have to worry about it being uncomfortable inside.

The material is a nice jelly rubber and looks almost like glass. The ring is just like the plug part of the toy, firm but elastic so you will not find yourself stretching it to a point where you would think it might break. This is important to any toy as you want to be reassured whilst using it that it won't snap or split.

I would say that this toy will give you months and months of use before it starts the deterioration steps. (Be careful as the ring is the most fragile part of the toy and the place where the most pressure is applied.)

Insertion is nice and smooth, having the tip tapered means that entry with lube is quick and simple. It slides in nicely until the circumference widens, the wide part of the toy can be challenging to get past without feeling small pain (unless you are experienced). Using this toy for a while will loosen you up and is a great next step for any beginner to anal play willing to spend some extra money on a larger challenge. Although the toy is not the widest available in still provides a great full sensation and is challenging in its own way.

Pulling the toy out gives a nice feeling, although the toy lacks length for this to be repeated at some speed, so if you are one that likes re-inserting, I'd suggest something longer or more straight than this toy.

As a plug this toy is great and it gives a great full feeling, however the issue I had come across was that it can (if not held onto) slip inside of you, so the full feeling isn't as strong. I think this is due to the lack of a stopper at the bottom of the toy as the ring can easily squish to slide right in.

This can be an issue but found it a great challenge for me to learn more discipline and a better technique for anal play in the future...

Overall this is a great toy that would suit beginners that are willing to push harder than the normal beginner would and also a next step for the other beginners who just aren't willing yet to use a wider toy.

With the nice material, good size, ring loop and a filling sensation gained from this toy, there is no doubt that it is worth the money.

Insertion is easy and pulling out is easy with the provided ring.

Loved it, hated it, then made peace with it

This plug is exactly what I was looking for measurements-wise - most of the "beginner" small plugs are just too small for me and on the other hand even a lot of plugs classed as "medium" are a little on the larger side for me to use as a comfy option for longer wear, or otherwise not what I wanted. The gorgeous, almost glass-like transparent look was an added bonus for me (thank god, some variety from the almost endless-seeming pink and flesh-coloured ones that I absolutely hate) so of course my expectations were high for this little beauty. I've however come (pun intended) a rather long journey with him, before I could make up my mind entirely as to whether this was a good purchase after all.

On first inspection, the plug seems smooth, pleasantly flexible and all in all exciting. It's even better-looking than the pictures, a good coating of lube makes it perfectly transparent and beautifully shiny. On the underside of the finger loop there is a visible moulding/pour mark, but you can barely feel it. The size and shape proved to be just as good as I had hoped, filling but comfortable, in fact just heavenly, and I like the idea of a finger loop.

This finger loop proved my salvation: after a satisfying session or a couple, maybe I'd gotten used to having this in place and relaxed too much or got carried away, and PLOP, all the way in he slides. Cue terrified squeaking. Luckily I had realised what had happened straight away and managed to pull it out myself thanks to the loop that is stretchy and easy to find and grab even in a situation like this. No A&E for me this time. Okay, maybe I've simply overreacted to the horror stories of people losing things inside, but it's not a pleasant thought which is why I'd buy a purpose-made toy rather than just shoving anything up there in the first place.

This incident resulted in poor Jolie plug being abandoned in the toy drawer for a while, getting occasional dark looks from me ("You were supposed to be my perfect match! I can't believe you did that to me!") but one beautiful afternoon quite recently I decided to attempt to make peace before a final return-or-not decision. I got him out and proceeded carefully, and, as long as you're aware of the base being a bit flimsy with a tendency to "slip", and concentrate, the plug should in fact stay in place and play nice. Just avoid relaxing too much. I have also placed a standard size bullet vibe through the finger loop - it's about the right size to stay there without having to hold it - for added fun and to ensure the plug doesn't slip, and I don't think I can bear to part with this toy after all. Next on my creative to-do list is to think up some sort of thingymabob to stick through the loop that would be a bit more flexible (or smaller) than a bullet to ensure he stays in place in more casual day-to-day wear.

I think the base would be just about large enough if it was more rigid, but then the flexible material is partly what makes the plug so comfortable. I suppose it'll just have to be a compromise. Bottom line (He He!) - it's so good and the price is so reasonable, it's worth buying even considering its flaws.
