OxBalls Ergo Swirl Butt Plug - Blue Small

The OxBalls Ergo Small is a soft, fleshy silicone butt plug with a kidney-bean bulb, a tapered neck and a flared base that sits snugly between the cheeks. This one is hand-poured in a black and police-blue swirl, so no two look quite alike. At 4 inches long with a widest usable circumference of 5.25 inches, the Small is the size for people who've tried a starter plug and want something a little fuller for longer wear.

A plug shaped for wearing, not just inserting

Plenty of plugs are simple cones. The Ergo bulges out in a kidney-bean curve, then pinches in at a short, tapered neck before the base. Once the bulb is past the entrance, your muscles close around that narrow neck and hold it there without effort, which is why people can wear it while walking around or sitting. The base isn't a flat disc either: it flares into two soft silicone flanges that tuck between the cheeks, so it stays put and doesn't dig in when you move.

What this silicone butt plug feels like

OxBalls pours the Ergo in its Pure Platinum Silicone, 100% silicone that's phthalate-free and non-toxic. The finish is smooth and slightly blubbery: it has a fleshy give when you squeeze it, but holds its shape well enough to insert easily. Every Ergo is hand-poured in the OxBalls factory in Los Angeles, which is why the colour marbling differs from plug to plug. Platinum silicone is non-porous, so it washes clean and doesn't hold on to smells.

Choosing between the butt plug sizes

The Ergo comes in five sizes, and the useful number to compare is the largest usable circumference. X-Small reaches 4.25 inches, Small 5.25, Medium 6.5, Large 7.5 and X-Large 8.75. Measure around the widest part of a toy you already find comfortable and pick the Ergo closest to it; for longer wear, many people go one size below what they can take for a short session. The smallest usable circumference, at the neck, rises with each size too, so a bigger Ergo also feels fuller once it's seated.

Getting it in comfortably

Use a generous amount of lube on the plug and on yourself, and take your time with the bulb, which is the widest point. Push gently, breathe out and let the body open rather than forcing it. Once the bulb passes, the neck slips in and the base settles into place. To remove it, relax, hold the base and ease it out slowly; bearing down gently, as you would on the toilet, helps the bulb slide back out.

Lube and care

OxBalls lists water-based, hybrid and oil-based lubes as safe; silicone lube isn't recommended on this silicone. Wash after each use in warm, soapy water, or put it in the dishwasher, then let it dry and store it on its own in a breathable cloth pouch or a cotton sock.
