Review: Treeze Redwood Medium Tear Drop Plug

Really, I should call the next few weeks "Butt Month" or something because the last few toys in my review queue are mostly all anal toys... not that I'm complaining

The Treeze Redwood Medium Tear Drop Plug (phew), first of all, is not actually made of wood. It's a wood/urethane hybrid. Don Wands' reason for doing this is that it prevents splintering. Most wooden toys have a coat of varnish to prevent that, but Don Wands insists their way is better because there's no chance of the coat cracking. Uhh, I'm not an expert on wood, so I have nothing to say about that, but I think combining it with urethane has less to do about splintering and more to do with the Tear Drop Plug costing under $50. (Most wooden toys from makers like NobEssence and Hans Hardwood Dildos cost around $100 or more.) For me, it was a bit of a disappointment because a big reason why I wanted to try a wooden toy was for the lovely feel, smell, patterns, etc that's purely wood. Think of a well-made, mahogany desk. Wood is classy.

The Tear Drop Plug, however, is not very classy. The wood looks tacky, the color is more washed out in reality than the photo is, and it retains this artificial, manufacturing-plant smell even after I've used and washed it many times. That said, the Tear Drop Plug is quite good-looking as toys go. The Actor & I both thought it looked kind of like a chess piece. And of course it functions just like wood; it's hard, it has no give, it's relatively light, you can use any kind of lube with it, etc. And you won't have to blow a giant hole in your wallet in order to own one.

As you can see, the Tear Drop Plug is not a beginner plug. Before using the Tear Drop Plug, I had only used the njoy Pure Plug (medium), which is very small in comparison:

The first time I used the Tear Drop Plug, I had to try five times to get it inside me. The tapered shape is good in that sense because you build yourself up. The plug's widest point really was the most difficult part for me. I would insert most of the plug in, get to that last bit, and then I'd have to take it out again because it was too intense. After a good amount of perseverance (and lube), I was able to get it in.

It was love at first... swallow. It felt amazing. Hard and filling. I worked myself up to orgasm and clenching around it felt amazing too. It's very different from all the other butt toys I own (which are all made of soft silicone, except for the njoy Pure Plug), it's the only hard, large one I own. Yeah, stating the obvious, right? But I really like having that nuance of sensation in my arsenal.

I also like the base. It's big enough for you not to be afraid that it will suddenly slip inside you, but isn't so big that it will get in the way, and the circular shape ensures that it won't poke into your buttcheeks:

Don Wands was also thoughtful enough to include a padded, drawstring pouch for it (which is apparently the same color as my sheets. Didn't notice until I took the pictures):

The Actor really liked this toy. In fact, he liked it so much that he went online and bought one for himself right after I used it on him. (I put it inside him and he jacked off in front of me until he came all over his belly. SO. HOT. OMG. Anyway...)

I'd say buy this toy if you're looking for an intermediate-sized plug, want to experience wood, but don't want to shell out too much dough.
