The way that I would describe the movement is a very rapid, almost like a fluttering '8.' Another advantage this toy has is that it doesn't leave you numb like traditional vibrators, since the silicone tip merely taps/flutters on you."

Cake Tush Pops

If you're looking to dip your toe into the world of butt stuff, an anal trainer kit may be worth the investment, like this presh trio from Cake.

The base is slim, the T design is comfy, and the material is safe and soft and easy to clean. The sizes are graduated but similar, so you can work your way up to something feeling fuller."

Love the different settings, and you can concentrate the power at either end. I have a history of pain/problems with penetration, but the insertable attachment went in no problem. Also like that the handle is long enough to try different angles/positions."
