Review: b-Vibe 360 Plug

I love it when a b-Vibe product comes my way, even if it’s a P-spot vibrator, like the b-Vibe 360 Plug. I don’t have a prostate, but my partner does, so it makes for a lot of fun to use together when we want to add some anal play to the mix. I gave it a try too (it’s called due diligence), to check things out while fully knowing our experiences will differ, but that adds to the intimacy in the moment and the aftercare that follows.

Like all b-Vibe sex toys, the 360 Plug is made from body-safe silicone and is ultra-smooth to the touch. However, this doesn’t mean you can skip the lube. When it comes to putting anything in the backdoor—body-safe materials with a flared base—lube must always be part of the equation to prevent friction that leads to microtears. According to my partner, lube made for an easy entry that was both comfortable and pleasurable.

When we turned on the vibrator with the remote—far easier than most app controls—there was a lot of stimulation going on. Not only does the 360 Plug’s shaft and head vibrate, but so does the base that sits perfectly snug against the perianal zone. It was here that we realized why it’s called the 360 Plug: the head oscillates, which gives the prostate one hell of a massage.

As the person in charge of the remote control (it works up to 30 feet away), we experimented with the six speeds for the rotating head and the six vibration patterns for the perianal zone, and my partner found his happy place somewhere in the middle, with a steady pulse that kept the pleasure uninterrupted.

My partner, who doesn’t regularly put things in his butt, felt that the 360 Plug could be thicker, with a bigger head. As much as he thought the vibration selection was great, due to the size of the shaft, he was more satisfied with the vibrations stimulating his perianal zone, making that his favorite part of the toy. Because of its size, he declared it great for beginners, noting that people who aren’t new to anal aren’t going to be impressed with its “diminutive stature.”

He also noted that a bigger shaft and equally bigger head would require less angling and fumbling for one to locate their prostate, which can be tricky for newbies, as it took him a bit. If it had more weight, it would have been even more enjoyable. I suggested that next time he could try the b-Vibe Snug Plug 7, which is a whopping 1.3 pounds and 2.5 inches in diameter. Suddenly, he wasn’t so chatty about size.

For Folks With Vulvas

I can't put my stamp of approval on something I haven't personally tried, even if it wasn't technically designed for my body, so I also gave the 360 Plug a try. I agree with my partner that, with enough lube, it slides in effortlessly and comfortably. Although I don’t have a prostate, I did find that the rotating head and vibrating shaft felt good, but not in the same way that my partner did for anatomical reasons.

While he thought the internal part should be bigger, I thought it was the ideal size for anal play, and the vibrator for the perianal area did feel pleasant, because the vibrations are strong enough that the rumbling made its way to my vulva. Not my clitoris, just the general area. In other words, if you have a vulva and you’re looking for anal play, the 360 Plug could be for you.

It's whisper-quiet and 100 percent waterproof. Unfortunately, it only has a one-hour run time and takes two hours to charge. If the charging time is longer than the run time, that always makes me pause, because it should be the other way around. The magnetic proprietary plug can also be an issue if you’re prone to losing things, because once it’s gone, you need to buy a replacement.

It has some minor annoyances, but the b-Vibe 360 Plug is a good, almost great anal vibrator that any gender can enjoy if anal play is on the menu. While those with prostates will find it most enjoyable, anyone who loves some buzz action in their butt can find pleasure too.
