Two-prong anal plug (silicone·9 x 3.5cm·7cm spread)

A silicone anal plug that spreads into two prongs once it is inside. The original listing gives the body as 9cm by 3.5cm and the V-shaped spread as 7cm, in a matte silicone. It is written up as being for men and women alike, though it is chosen mainly on the BDSM side for stretching.

It goes in closed and opens inside

At rest the two prongs sit open in a V. Squeezing them together in your hand makes it slim, and it goes in that way. When you let go inside, the elasticity of the silicone returns the prongs to their shape and pushes outward. The thickness going in and the thickness once inside being different is the whole point of this shape.

Matte silicone as a material

The surface is matte rather than glossy. It does not slip in your hand, which makes it easier to hold the prongs together, but it does pick up dust. Once washed and dried, it is best kept in a bag or a case.

The base is the last line of safety

The bottom is an anchor shape that curves out to both sides. The sphincter pulls inward, so without this base the item goes into the body. The curved shape lets it lie along the cleft of the body, and the base is also the handle you hold when taking it out.

Before you use it

The spread is 7cm. That is not a beginner's thickness for anal play, so it is too much for anyone just starting out. Work up with a slim plug first, then choose this. Pulling in a hurry when removing it leaves the prongs open and caught, which hurts. The trick is to relax and pull slowly so the prongs close by themselves. This product comes in several sizes, so check which one you are ordering.
