Purple Probe 4-Speed Vibrating Anal Plug Phthalate-Free Silicone

What it is

The Purple Probe is a vibrating silicone anal plug made by Hott Products Unlimited and sold under the brand's Wet Dreams line, where the packaging names it the Extreme Pleasure Probe. It is a one-piece purple plug with a tapered teardrop body, a narrow neck and a closed finger ring at the base, and a silver bullet-style vibrator sits inside that ring. It arrives as a single unit on a hanging blister card with changeable batteries already included, so nothing else needs to be bought before it can be used.

Everything described on this page comes from the packaging itself and from the product photography. The card lists five things: super-soft phthalate-free silicone, changeable batteries included, a four-speed motor, waterproof construction, and a ring finger hole for easy in-and-out play. That is a short list, and it is deliberately the whole of what we will state as fact.

How it is shaped

The shape is the conventional teardrop plug profile, and the photographs show it clearly. The tip is narrow and rounded rather than pointed, the body widens smoothly through its middle to its widest point roughly two thirds of the way down, then draws sharply back in to a slim neck. Below that neck the silicone opens out into a flat, closed loop — the finger ring.

That ring is the part worth paying attention to. On a plug, a wide base is the feature that matters most, because it is what keeps the toy external and retrievable at all times. Here the base is not a simple flat disc but a hole large enough to put a finger through, which means the plug can be held, angled and withdrawn deliberately rather than fished for. The packaging describes it exactly that way: a ring finger hole for easy in and out play.

The vibrating element is a small chrome-finished bullet that seats into the ring at the base, visible in every photograph as a silver cylinder inside the purple loop. Because the motor lives at the base rather than the tip, the vibration is transmitted up through the body of the plug from below.

Product specifications

About the material

The card describes the body as super-soft phthalate-free silicone. Phthalates are a family of chemical plasticisers once used widely to make rigid plastics flexible, and "phthalate-free" is the industry's shorthand for a body-contact material formulated without them. It is a formulation statement about what the material is, not a statement about what the product does.

Silicone is the material most commonly chosen for insertable novelties for straightforward practical reasons: it is non-porous, so fluids and residue sit on the surface instead of soaking into it; it takes a smooth finish that slides easily; and it tolerates warm soapy water without degrading. The "super-soft" grade used here is the flexible, squeezable kind rather than the firm kind, which is why the plug gives slightly when pressed, as the gloss and the highlights in the photographs suggest.

One practical consequence of silicone that is worth knowing before your first use: silicone-based lubricants can soften and tack the surface of silicone toys over time. Water-based lubricant is the safe default and is the standard recommendation for any silicone item in our adult toys range.

How to use it

Start with the batteries. The packaging states that changeable batteries are included, so the bullet is ready to run out of the card; when the motor slows, the cells come out and new ones go in rather than the whole toy being discarded.

Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the tapered tip and the first third of the body. The anus produces no lubrication of its own, so lubricant is not optional here in the way it sometimes is elsewhere — it is the single thing that makes the difference between comfortable and not. Insert slowly, letting the widest part of the body pass at its own pace rather than pushing through it, and stop at the narrow neck. The neck is where the plug is designed to settle.

Cycle the motor through its four speeds once it is seated and find the setting you like. To remove, hook a finger through the ring at the base and draw it out slowly. Never use force in either direction, and if anything is uncomfortable, stop and add more lubricant.

Cleaning and care

Wash the plug with warm water and a mild unscented soap before the first use and after every use after that. The card states the product is waterproof, so it can be rinsed under a running tap and handled wet without concern for the motor.

Dry it fully with a lint-free cloth or let it air-dry before putting it away, and store it somewhere clean, dry and out of direct sunlight. Keeping silicone items separate from one another in storage — a drawstring pouch or a dedicated drawer — stops the surfaces reacting against other materials. If the toy will sit unused for a long stretch, take the batteries out first.

Who it's for

This is an adults-only product for anyone 18 or over who is curious about a compact, beginner-friendly plug with vibration built in. The modest size and the strongly tapered tip put it at the gentler end of the category, and the finger ring makes it easy to control, which is the reassurance most people want on a first purchase. It is equally at home in solo use or shared, and it appears in both our toys for men and women's selections because the anatomy it is designed around is shared.

Good to know

• Adults 18 and over only. Keep out of reach of children.
• For external and anal use only. Do not share without cleaning thoroughly between users.
• Use water-based lubricant. Silicone lubricants can damage silicone surfaces.
• Stop immediately if you experience pain, irritation or bleeding, and speak to a healthcare professional if symptoms continue.
• Inspect the silicone before each use. Retire any toy that has split, torn or gone tacky.
• If you have haemorrhoids, a recent injury, or any condition affecting the area, speak to a clinician before using an insertable product.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material is the Purple Probe made from?

It is made from super-soft phthalate-free silicone, as stated on the Hott Products packaging. Silicone is non-porous and smooth, so it wipes clean easily and does not absorb fluids the way porous novelty materials do.

How many vibration speeds does it have?

Four. The packaging describes a four-speed motor, housed in the silver bullet that seats into the finger ring at the base of the plug, so the vibration is delivered from the bottom of the toy upward.

Are batteries included?

Yes — the card states that changeable batteries are included, so the plug works straight away. Because the cells are changeable rather than sealed in, they can be replaced when they run down instead of the toy being thrown away.

Can it be used in the shower or bath?

Yes, the packaging describes the product as waterproof, so it can be used in wet conditions and rinsed directly under the tap. Wash it with warm water and mild unscented soap, then dry it fully before storing.

How is my order packaged?

Every order ships in plain, unmarked outer packaging with no product imagery or adult branding on the outside. The billing descriptor and the return address are equally discreet.
