Ribbed Medical-Grade Silicone Plug 8.5 cm — Taboo

Ribs you can count one by one

The Taboo is the ribbed version in the My First range. Where a smooth plug slides in as one piece, its ribbed shape creates a series of ridges you get past one at a time — and get past again on the way out. It's the texture that produces the pleasure, not the size.

Why the ribs work so well

Each ridge is a small milestone. The sphincter closes between two ridges, then opens again. This sequence of contractions is exactly what anal bead fans are after, in a compact form.

Removal is as interesting as insertion. A lot of guys discover with this kind of shape that pulling out slowly produces just as much sensation as going in.

It's built for movement. A ribbed plug isn't meant to be set and forgotten: gentle back-and-forth motion does all the work.

30 mm at its widest, within a starter range. The sensation comes from the texture, not the stretch.

Medical-grade silicone, soft and non-porous, with a wide base that keeps things secure.

How to use it, and the bullet

Insert slowly, ridge by ridge. Pause between each one: that's where the pleasure is, not in the speed.

Pull out just as slowly. The return trip deserves just as much attention.

The bullet is removable. For a first session, take it out and focus on the texture — that's already plenty. You'll add it in afterward.

A single intensity, one switch, nothing to program.

Water-based lubricant, generously applied. The texture grips more than a smooth surface, so you need more of it, and you need to reapply.

Remove the bullet before any thorough wash, the motor must not be submerged.

How to use it, without messing it up

Take your time on prep. The sphincter doesn't open on command. A hot shower, a few minutes to relax, one or two lubed fingers before moving to the plug: that's what separates an enjoyable session from one you cut short.

Lube, way more than you think. The anus produces no natural lubrication. Put some on the plug and at the entrance, and don't hesitate to place some inside too — an applicator does this very well. Reapply as soon as it starts to drag.

Go slowly, and in stages. Present the tip, let the body adjust, push gently, stop the moment it resists. Getting past the widest point is the critical moment: that's when you slow down, not speed up. Once past it, the plug settles into place on its own.

Breathe. Exhale as you push, it releases the sphincter. Holding your breath does exactly the opposite.

If it hurts, you stop. Discomfort, a stretch, some pressure: normal. Sharp pain, burning, blood: you pull out and let it rest. Pain isn't a stage to push through.

Removal happens slowly, never in one sharp pull, pushing gently as if going to the bathroom. If it resists, add more lube and wait.

A good position always helps. Squatting, lying on your side with one knee raised, or one foot on the edge of the tub. Standing bolt upright is the worst setup.

For a first time, this size is a good fit: the diameter stays within an accessible range and the length doesn't reach far. Aim for twenty minutes for the first session, not two hours.

The rules of anal safety

The flared base isn't a design detail. It's what stops the plug from riding up inside. The rectum literally pulls inward: an object without a base wide enough to stop it ends up in the ER. Never repurpose an object that wasn't designed for anal use, and never use a plug whose base is damaged.

Don't fall asleep wearing it. Prolonged wear compresses tissue and restricts local circulation. A few hours at most, and never a full night.

Clean before and after. Every time. Gut flora has no business anywhere else, and a poorly cleaned toy is a one-way ticket to a urinary or digestive infection.

One plug per person, or a condom. If you're sharing, put a condom on it and change it between each person. It's simpler and safer than a rushed cleaning job.

Change zones, change protection. Whatever went in the anus doesn't go in the mouth or anywhere else without being washed first.

If you get bleeding, pain that lingers, or a fever after a session, see a doctor. It's almost never serious if you don't let it slide.

Cleaning and care

Water-based lubricant only. Silicone attacks silicone: a silicone lubricant makes the surface permanently sticky. Water-based, no exceptions. Oils should also be avoided — they're hard to remove and attack latex if you follow up with a condom.

Before and after every use: warm water and mild soap, or toy cleaner. Pay attention to the texture and the area around the base, that's where residue builds up.

Dry it completely with a clean cloth, then air-dry before storing. A toy put away damp ends up smelling.

Storage: in its own pouch, away from dust and sunlight. Avoid prolonged contact with other silicone toys, the materials can react with each other.

FAQ — Your questions, our answers

Q: Are the ribs harder to deal with than a smooth plug?

A: A bit more demanding on insertion because there are several ridges, but none of them is wide — 30 mm at most. With lube and patience, it goes in very well for a beginner.

Q: What's the difference from the Hush and the Secret Plug?

A: Same size and same bullet. The Taboo is ribbed, the Hush is faceted, the Secret Plug mimics a head shape. Three textures, one difficulty level.

Q: What lubricant should I use?

A: Water-based only. Silicone lubricant attacks the silicone surface and makes it permanently sticky. And use plenty of it: the anus doesn't lubricate itself.

Q: How long can I keep it in?

A: A few hours at most, and never while sleeping. Prolonged wear compresses tissue. Start with twenty to thirty minutes and extend it over sessions if you're comfortable.
