First of all, I would like to say that this is the prettiest butt plug I have ever seen. I know some of you may find it odd that I'm saying this, but you just have to see this butt plug in person. There are beautiful swirls of black, metallic and opaque blue. Appearance-wise, I really like the Tristan Anniversary plug. And it's silicone! Very big plus for health!
Second of all, geez, it's big! I mean, it's almost as big as my hubby in diameter. It's 1.75 inches and he's probably 2 inches or something like that. With me being so little it was rather tricky getting it in. Although it does taper a little at the tip, it was still difficult for me to stretch enough to get it in. Anyway, long story short, we ended up just having him finger me for quite while until I loosened up enough to get it in comfortably. Well, I'm working up to big anal toys and anal sex. Guess my keister is just too virgin still.
Anyway, once we got it in, it felt great. Seems like the best lube I've found to slide things into my back door is Hathor Aphrodisia Lube. You can check that out on Babeland's website by clicking on the picture or you can just go directly to my review.
Even though it is kind of difficult to get things in, I really have grown to like anal stimulation during sex. I have tried a smaller plug (haven't put up a review for it) but it was annoying how it kept popping out and, one time my ass just swallowed. Don't ask me how. I have no idea, because it had a decent base. It was there and the next minute it was all the way up. I didn't touch it or anything. It went up on it's own and I had to just *ahem* excrete it, to put it nicely.
You won't have to worry about that with the Tristan plug. The base is wide enough to keep it from crawling up inside you and it's flexible enough to fit comfortably between your cheeks. And all the times that I've used the Tristan plug, it has never popped out. I hate spraying the carpet after sex just because an anal toy popped out. Ugh.
Which reminds me, because the Tristan plug is silicone, it's really easy to clean. To make sure you kill all the bacteria and whatnot, just boil it for about 3 minutes. Every Babeland toy I've gotten always comes with a pamphlet on toy care, so you can keep that as a handy reference for how to clean things.
The only thing I was kind of thinking about with the Tristan plug is having a cavity for a vibe. I tried just touching a strong vibe to the base while it was in me, and that worked pretty well.
Packaging: No problems. Just a plastic bag with a paper top that said Babeland. I love how tasteful their packaging is.
Pros: very pretty and you can tell a good amount of thought went into product design, silicone and easy to clean, stays in place, great for those who like a hefty plug, carries vibrations from a separate vibrator well (Doesn't come with one! Just want to make that clear.)
Cons: No hole for a mini vibe or something like that, but it's really not that big of a deal
Summary: 5/5 Just because I can't cram a vibe in it, doesn't mean I'm going to take a point off. The Tristan Anniversary Butt Plug is a beautiful piece of silicone and a great anal toy. Definitely recommended. Even for the girls as small as me. You'll get used to it once you stretch out enough. And if you're going to get the Tristan Anniversary Plug, get some Hathor Lube with it. It's the best lube that I know which is free of parabens and safe on latex.
After wandering around the EdenFantasys website and checking out numerous arousal lubes, I found Sensually Wycked Heating Lotion for Him. First of all, I love the design on it for some reason and the fact that it says "wycked" just makes it even better. Just makes it feel more naughty.Anyway, the reason I decided to try Sensually Wycked Heating Lotion is because my hubby loved the tingle of the mint Good Head Gel, but I couldn't tolerate the parabens. So, after looking through a bunch of arousal lubes and trying to find a decent one without parabens, I found Wycked. Now, this is supposed to be for guys but, of course, that's not going to stop me from trying it out on myself.
Upon receiving it in the mail and opening the box like a little kid at Christmas as per usual, I went to the bedroom to try it out. It does have a nice little pump, but I would not go so far as to say it is lotion. It's more like lube than lotion. It isn't thick in the least bit and it's sort of runny. It has a strong scent to it. It's minty with just a hint of lime. At least, that's what I think it smells like.I rubbed some of it onto my clit and waited. For me, it took maybe a minute, if that long, to start feeling a sort of tingly warmth. It lasted quite a while, too. I didn't really time it, but if I had to say how long it lasted for me, I guess it was about 10 minutes or so. I was so excited to find something that my hubby might like after the Flower Balm flopped. (Please be aware that Flower Balm does contain parabens and is essentially the same thing as Rocket Balm. And no, I didn't purchase the Flower Balm knowing that it had parabens. If you want to read about it, you can check out my review on Flower Balm which is located in my blog index to the right.)
To my disappointment, the first time I used it on my hubby he felt nothing...dangit! Well, I decided to give it another go. I massaged plenty of the Wycked Heating Lotion onto the head of his penis as the directions stated and we waited. It took him about 5 minutes to start feeling anything and he said it wasn't that much. Alright, so I'm a little annoyed that it took so long and that he didn't feel much. He just must not be as sensitive as me.
And one more thing, be careful if you decide to use a tpr toy after you put this stuff on. Afterwords, I saw this little slick spots like maybe the material melted a bit. Just a warning. It is safe to use with latex though. And it can be diluted with water-based lube if you want to tone down the heat. Also, I have no idea if this stuff is edible. I was thinking of using it while sucking him off, but I was too worried about my sensitive stomach.
Pros: paraben-free!, environmentally friendly, not tested on animals, I love it!
Cons: not really lotion as advertised, it takes so long for my hubby to feel anything
Summary: 4/5 for this one. I'm taking a point away because it's not lotion and because it takes so bloody long, in my opinion, for my hubby to feel much from it. On the other hand, I love this stuff! It gives a little extra zing to our romps and gets me to climax easier. A word of the wise to Exciting Products (the company who made it) : You might want to change the name of the product to Sensually Wycked Heating Lotion for Her. ^_~ In my experience, though, an arousal lube, or any arousal product for that matter, is good for everyone. You don't have to limit it to one gender. So, maybe it would be best just to leave it as Sensually Wycked Heating Lotion.

Well, the contest was interesting. I always like to see what sort of strange things adult companies come up with. Sometimes you can get a little chuckle because the ideas are just silly. Other times, things are just plain freaky.
This toy is not part of Babeland's selection of toys...thank God. If you'd like a normal dildo, lube, vibrators, or anything else then go check out Babeland. I promise there aren't any scary dildos like the Head O State one. Geez. O.o Even the drawing of him on the box is scary. Actually, I think the drawing might be the worst part.
