Desire Luxury USB Rechargeable Remote Control Butt Plug

We were lucky enough to be given the chance to review this remote control butt plug by the great folks at customer services.

As usual, it arrived in speedy none descript packaging so my postie was none the wiser.

On unpacking the box the actual box the butt plug comes in had a high quality feel and with just an image of the plug on it. When you open this box you are confronted by a small black toy case similar to the larger toy cases Lovehoney sell.

Inside the case was the butt plug it's remote and the USB magnetic charger. So the first thing I did and no it wasn't that! It was plug in the charger and place the magnetic charging end to the base of the plug and let it charge for the suggested 2 hours. So to kill some time I read the owners book. This little book has images of the various vibration patterns which are good for reference while still new to the toy. (my favourite is number 8.)

The butt plug is made of silken silicone which is so velvety soft to the touch. The remote control is of the same material but with a plastic cover for the battery compartment for ease of opening.

So onto the test. After a liberal application of lube, I popped the plug in and then pressed the power button on the bottom of the base.

The plug sat snugly in my bum and I them proceeded to hand the controller over to my wife and the fun then commenced. We have another remove control butt plug but we're disappointed by it range and it's constant want to pop out. The desire plug has a much better range and with the ability to increase and decrease the intensity of each pattern you can be driven wild by your other half.

The patterns are all varied and all have a great feeling in your butt. While number 8 is my favourite number 4 is very intense.

Build quality seems great but only time will tell on that.

My only issue is its size. I personally use many large plugs and while being a nice comfy fit and it stayed in place much better than my other remote plug. I would have been much more comfortable to go out with it if it either had a narrower neck or was a larger plug with the same sized neck. As the difference isn't as large as I'm used to so with the vibrations it did start to work it's way out as my muscles relaxed more.

I received this as a secret tester, thank you, Lovehoney! When I opened the parcel and saw this was an item from the Desire range I was ecstatic. So far my experiences with Desire have been nothing but positive and this was no different.

There is a light on the on/off switch which indicates the charging status of the plug, flashing when charging and solid when charged. The light also flashes during use when the battery is running low, which, while I get the sentiment, seems a bit redundant since it would only be visible to a partner during specific positions when in use and not visible during others or solo play. It would probably make more sense to have the light on the remote flash.

As this plug is made of silicone, a good quality water-based lube should be used with it. Be sure to use a generous amount as silicone can be a draggy material. The vibrations on this guy are pretty strong, it's from the Desire range so I'm not sure what else I was expecting, but I was floored the first time I turned it on. It packs a punch, the vibrations are decently rumbly and very quiet. The plug has a magnetic charger and is thus waterproof (keep in mind that the remote is not) so it can be used in the bath/shower and is also very easy to clean.

The plug has eight different patterns which can be cycled through using both the button on the remote and on the plug itself. They're really a matter of preference so I can't tell you if and which you'll enjoy, but they're fun to play around with and could be a great tool for teasing when used with a partner. There is a good difference in size between plug and stem as well as stem and base, so the plug won't slip in or out any further than you would like.

This is definitely not a beginner's plug, but if you have some experience with butt plugs and are looking for something with a little bit extra, this is the one for you. It feels satisfying even without the vibrations, but they're a lovely cherry on top. The range on the remote is great, I can turn it on and off from the hallway with the door closed (also, turning it on when it's standing on a hard surface causes it to spin, which entertained me for a good half hour, not that that's relevant, unless you're planning on organising a butt plug disco).

My only gripe with this is the charging light, and that's hardly an important function. I definitely recommend this plug when venturing into intermediate anal play, it's a new favourite of mine.

I'm a big fan of the Desire range of products, so I was rather excited to be given the chance to test one of its latest additions. I have been seriously getting into butt plugs over the past couple of months and the description of this one ticked all my boxes. It has been made with thousands of customer reviews in mind, as per the rest of the range, so I had high hopes that this would be a major success. I have to say that not only am I not disappointed, but I think this is the best product from the range so far.

The product arrives in a classy purple and black box with a picture of the toy on the front and the Lovehoney heart on the back. Something fantastic lies inside this box in the form of a small, sturdy storage case with the Lovehoney logo embossed onto the front. I love this case as its way more convenient than having numerous storage bags that all look the same. It makes the toy easier to grab hold of in the heat of the moment.

Another great thing about the case is that it has a charging hole leading out of the back which allows you to charge your toy whilst it's stored away safely. This is useful for those of us with pets or children as it keeps toys away from prying eyes/paws and lint. The case even has a netted section with elasticated straps to hold the toy in place and a small netted pocket to hold the charging cable, instruction manual and a small bottle of lube or some cleaner.

The plug is made from a smooth, silky soft silicone that feels luxurious and glorious. It does have a bit of drag to it, as silicone does, so make sure to add a bit more lube than you usually would. A few pumps of Sliquid Sassy was about right for me. Afterwards, rinse the plug with toy cleaner or soap and water and leave to air dry. It's fully waterproof, so this is perfectly fine to do, just remember to leave the remote out of the bathroom and simply wipe it down if and when needed.

Before use, the plug needs a full charge. To do so, plug the USB into your chosen port and attach the magnetic cap to the corresponding prongs on the base. A light will flash whilst charging and go solid once the charge is complete. It should take around 120 minutes and provide up to 60 minutes of vibrations. When the battery begins to run low the light will flash quickly to indicate that the toy needs to be charged.

As for the remote, it takes one CR2032 battery and that is included. Put pressure on the back of the controller in a downward motion to release, twist the cap inside the now viewable compartment, take the battery out and remove the paper disc from underneath. You can then replace the battery, twist the cap back into place and slide the back firmly into position. The butt plug and remote will then be ready to use and explore at your leisure.

To turn on, press and hold the button on the base of the plug for about three seconds. Then hold down the central button on the remote for the same amount of time. You can then press any of the buttons on the remote to start the vibrations. You can control the intensity of each setting with the plus and minus buttons whilst the central button flicks through each function. To turn off, press and hold the central button for three seconds. You can also use the plug without the remote by tapping on the singular button on the base to cycle through the patterns. Again, turning off is done by pressing and holding for three seconds.

This plug is a tiny bit bigger than other plugs I've used in the past, but as I've taken dildos and my partner anally, I found it comfortable and fairly easy to insert. It's definitely what I'd consider to be an intermediate sized plug in terms of girth and it's also longer than a lot of beginner's plugs, so keep that in mind if you prefer width to length or aren't used to length in your butt. I would not recommend this to someone who's never used a plug before, but it should be fine for those who can manage medium-sized anal toys.

I found the size perfect for me to be able to move around comfortably without jabbing from the tapered tip or too much stretching from the girth. I could happily wear this for a couple of hours and leave my partner in control of the remote, never knowing when he's going to turn it on. We had a lot of fun with this whilst I did some tidying up and he controlled the plug from the other room. It works from about 30 meters away, so the option for some outside adventures is available too.

There are eight patterns and twelve intensities to choose from on this plug. One constant speed and seven pulsations. Naturally I am drawn to the constant vibration, but I found a couple of the other settings to be fun too. I'm a power queen, so I wondered whether this would be enough for me and I'm happy to report that it is. I can make good use out of it from intensity seven and above. I find that my orgasms are quite strong and pretty reliable when the vibrations are turned up.

I think the base is great, it's flared enough to provide peace of mind that the plug will not travel unexpectedly and offers the well-needed safety mechanism of these sorts of toys. I know this plug will not go anywhere unwanted, so I'm able to relax and fully enjoy what it has to offer.

The neck is flexible which makes insertion and removal extra comfortable and carefree, whilst also making long-term wear possible. The bulb is the opposite as it has little squish/flex and the firmness reminds me of its presence with every movement, which I love.

Overall, I think this plug is wonderful. I love that it can be used with or without the remote, as this opens up the options of ways to use it. It's fun during masturbation in conjunction with a clitoral vibrator and amazing during penetrative sex with a partner. It provides that tighter canal feeling that my partner loves and doesn't seem to get in the way in any of our most frequently used positions.

One thing that I don't encounter often with plugs is enjoyment when using it without any extras, but I do enjoy this one which makes it a standout product for me. Plus it's pretty quiet so I can use it when there are others in the house without worrying about being heard. Bonus!
