No. There are controls on the body for power, patterns and the lighting, so you can pick it up and go. The app adds the finer control. It lets you pick exact colors, adjust things in real time, and save the combinations you keep coming back to. The app is called iToys. Search for it in your app store, then enter product code 520198.

Yes. Paradise designed The Plug for external and anal stimulation, with a tapered shape for easier insertion and a safety base that keeps it from going in too far. The ultra-soft silicone makes it comfortable going in.

Use a generous amount of water-based lube even if it does not feel necessary at first, and go slower than feels necessary the first time. If it is ever going to be shared with another orifice or another partner, wash it in between.

Remove it slowly and gently. Skip numbing sprays and creams beforehand, because they can mask the discomfort that tells you to stop. If it ever slips inside or something does not feel right, stop and get medical help right away.

Yes. It is rated IPX7, which covers submersion in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes. Rinse it when you are done and let it dry completely before you charge it.

Clean it before and after every use with warm water and a mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner. Because it is fully waterproof you can rinse the whole thing rather than carefully wiping around the electronics. Let it dry completely before charging or storing.

Skip boiling and the dishwasher. That kind of heat is not kind to the motor.

Water-based. Silicone lube and silicone surfaces do not get along, and over time it can leave the silicone tacky or degraded. Water-based also rinses straight off, which makes cleanup quicker.

The body does not produce its own lubrication back there the way it does elsewhere, so use more than you think you need. It is the single easiest thing that makes a first try go well.

It is one of the easier places to start with anal play. It is tapered, Paradise made it for first-time explorers as well as seasoned pros, and the intensity range goes low enough that you can stay gentle for as long as you like.

Start at the lowest setting and move up only when you want to. Resting it against the outside first, before any insertion, is a perfectly good place to begin, and to stay, for as long as you like. There is no rush, and no right way to do this.

Paradise built it around a low-noise motor.

Ultra-soft, body-safe silicone over the motor and the lighting. The finish is velvety rather than slick, which is part of why it feels softer than it looks.

With the magnetic USB cable in the box, which attaches to the metal contacts on The Plug. Connect it to any USB power adapter (not included). The light flashes while it charges and stays solid once it is full, which takes less than 1.5 hours. A full charge runs up to 2 hours.
