b-Vibe Anal Training Kit & Education Set — Test & Review

First Impressions

It’s under-emphasized on b-Vibe’s product page, but I think the light-blue storage box deserves recognition. I wouldn’t normally much attention to a box, but the one this kit comes in is very sturdy, resistant, and decorative. It keeps everything organized and looks great on my shelf. There is also a small travel bag, offering a more portable storage option. It’s not big enough to fit the entire kit, but it’s still nice to have the option to take some things. Before I really delved into the actual features of the kit, I also noticed the “anal is magic” sticker that was included. I love it. I stuck it on my chair. I am assured that b-Vibe is aware of fundamental truths.

The Book

I honestly expected the book to be gimmicky or basic, and I was wrong. It’s very thorough, and full of valuable information. When I first sat down with it, my attempt to quickly skim-through gradually turned into a careful study. While I did know a lot of the information from previous online searches, I didn’t know everything. I had never heard tips to control breathing during anal play, or that there are actually two rings of muscle involved. Even though I had a general idea on some of the other chapters, it’s still a great authoritative reference to back up things I wasn’t completely sure about. I can not recommend this book enough!

The Toys

The three different butt plugs in the b-Vibe Anal Training Kit are carefully selected to give you a range of experience. The smallest one is softer, designed to be someone’s very first step. It’s very easy and convenient to use, but I’m personally glad that I have larger toys. The largest plug is weighted, designed to simulate the weight that a metal plug would have. This one is big enough that I find it satisfying on its own. The weight isn’t exactly heavy, but it is noticeable. Most impressive, in my opinion, was the middle one. It vibrates. I don’t know why I haven’t picked up a vibrating anal toy before, but I definitely gained some experience on this matter. There are different vibration settings that the plug can cycle through — the first few are around what I expected and was prepared for. Nothing in the book or on the store page actually said how many settings there were, so I kept cycling through and counting. It kept going, ramping up the intensity to beyond what I anticipated, then it started going through patterns of increasing chaos and complexity. To further add to the experience, to turn off the device, you have to hold the button for an extended period of time. If you fail, likely because you have a foreign object jiggling violently in your rectum, it just keeps going to the next setting.

Enema Bulb and Lubricant Applicator

The enema bulb works exactly like you’d expect. It seems to be high quality, like everything else, and the book provides great instructions for using it. What I really want to draw attention to is the lubricant applicator. I really don’t think this thing is necessary. Perhaps a different butt might need it’s specific little niche more, but I’m never going to use it again. First of all, it draws up so much lube. you don’t have to fill the whole tube of course, but it’s made big enough to take up way more lube than I would ever want to apply at one time. Lube isn’t the most expensive thing, but if you use it like this, it adds up. I know “more lube” is the first rule of anal, but it’s far better to keep applying lube throughout the experience rather than all of it at once, as water-based lubes dry out over time. Second of all, the lubricant applicator is designed to apply lube deep inside. This seems counterintuitive to me, because I’m pretty sure the entrance needs the most lube. For me, it stands out as the least helpful item in the kit.
