My Verdict
This is the largest of the Vibrating Snug Plug lineup, and it does not disappoint. It is 1.95" diameter, silicone, and has a weighted head to really feel like something is up there. With an extremely smooth surface this toy is nice to the touch, gets slick with lube VERY quickly, and is an overall pleasant sensation. The only negatives I see from this toy is the shape itself, it is not as gradual of an experience as most plugs are, and the base of the toy being a gradual close is a nice touch, but has it's own unique problems.

About The b-Vibe Vibrating Snug Plug 5
I would say this toy is large, as it is, but this is the third largest of 7 sizes, so I believe that it comes in a size that is suitable for most people. Overall the toy is absolutely fantastic, and is definitely one of the best plugs I've ever used with absolutely no close challengers. The vibration can be STRONG, but with nine, yes NINE, different vibration modes, it comes in low with strong highs and a lot of variation. Overall there isn't much this plug can't do, with one notable challenge being repeated reinsertions, as the shaft is quite flexible and does not hold the weight of the plug up particularly well. The primary use for this plug will be for extended wear, as it is quite noticeable, but VERY comfortable even after 2 hours.

Personal Experience
First Impressions
This toy blew me away. With the extremely high quality packaging, a storage bag, magnetic charging cable, and the significant heft, I knew I was in for a treat with this. But, it exceeded my expectations in almost every way, the 1.95″ diameter is quite daunting, but very comfortable with enough warmup and the vibration is way too strong to set to high right away. With my newfound respect for the plug, I started again, and keeping the vibrations on low for a time, I quickly got used to the gigantic weight settling inside me. The super narrow and flexible shaft allows the plug to move however it needs to so it can stay comfortable, while the “anchor” base is soft, but not so soft it could ever accidentally slip in. One small issue I had immediately was the shaft itself, as it was so thin and flexible that it could not hold the plug head up at all and I needed to get somewhat handsy to get the plug in. With the plug in, I was set for my “first session”. This lasted a total of 30 minutes for me, as I am not so used to extended wear plugs, but it was surprisingly comfortable. The backside of the head is quite sloped so it occasionally felt like it was trying to slide out, but it was always snug when I checked. With the vibrations off, and the plug in, I felt I could go longer if I had wanted, even as it was my first time wearing it.The Aftermath
After the first session, I was feeling much more confident, I enjoy using plugs with repeated insertions and had hoped to do so with this as an “all inclusive” review, but it’s simply too difficult with the softness of the shaft and the shape of the head. Unfortunately, I had to settle for another long wear session, this one set for a full 2 hours. Throughout the time wearing it, I was constantly adjusting the vibrations, as the low felt too low, and the medium felt a little too strong for more than a few minutes, but all of that flew out the window when it was time to end, and I set it to high.Overall
Overall I give this toy 4.5 out of 5. It is perfect for what it intends to be, which is a plug you can put in but not forget. The 370 grams of plug will not let you forget it’s there at any point, the double sloped head ensures that it is always easy to take out, even hours later, and the battery was still going strong 2 hours after a full charge on low/medium. The low profile base is small enough to not be noticeable, but never leaves any worry of an accidental slip inside, and is easy to grip. The reason it loses that half a star is because the base is quite soft and often feels like it might slip in, as it is only slightly wider than the plug itself, and the fact that the soft shaft does not hold the head of the toy up at all.Size
I wanted to make an additional note here for the size, as there is a LOT to consider with the size variation available on this toy. Size 1 is a modest 55 grams and a diameter of 0.9″ which makes it the same size or smaller than most starter toys, though the weight is a decent surprise, and a nice feeling. But size 7 is a goliath at 600 grams or 1.3 POUNDS and 2.5″ diameter, which will challenge anybody to keep it in for more than a few minutes. Size isn’t everything, but it should definitely be considered before buying, as the weight makes these plugs MUCH more noticeable than a standard plug.Design
Design gets a 90/100, as the silicone feels extremely smooth, the button for the vibration is subtle but not hidden, and the shape combined with the weight ensures a comfortable and full sensation for the entire duration of it's stay. The loss of the 10 points comes from the soft shaft, which limits it's use in more active play, but is a huge help for keeping the plug comfortable, so I can't knock it too much.
Ease of Use
This is where the toy loses a little bit of it's roll. The button for the vibration is subtle, just a small bump on the base of the plug, almost impossible to see, and difficult to feel in the moment. There is a raised power symbol on the button itself which can help guide you, but there is other raised text on the base as well which can throw off your aim. Once it's in and you have it set in a good position, you can find the button and be sure that it's always exactly the same, but the initial feeling around can be a little awkward, and the button a little stiff, though it does soften after a few dozen presses.
Quality
The quality gets a perfect score from me. This plug is a completely waterproof, single pour silicone plug. This means no seams, and no irregularities, with quality control through the roof. The vibrator is very quiet but very strong, and the battery seems to last forever, I have nothing negative to say to the quality of this plug.
Price
If you're just looking for a plug, then this is very expensive. But as a vibrating plug it is quite a good price. At $80 it comes in around the middle of the pack for it's size, but the quality of the silicone and the vibrator inside definitely take it a step above the competition. The storage bag is a huge bonus, though unfortunately it uses a proprietary magnetic charger, which can be purchased separately. With this in mind I place the overall value at an 80/100 but probably higher when comparing specifically to vibrating plugs.
Performance
Performance is an easy 100/100, the soft but firm feel of the silicone make this toy extremely comfortable, the vibrations are highly varied with a good setting for most people and most of all it was QUIET. My partner had no idea I had it in until I showed them, which definitely says something. There was no issue with temperature, though I never stressed it at high settings for long periods, and while it was a bit of a stretch and acclimation period, there was definitely nothing wrong with the toy itself. The charge time could be a little shorter, but that may have been a low voltage plug that I used as I don't know the maximum charge speed of this battery so I won't say it's the plugs' fault.
Packaging
Packaging is another strong point of b-Vibe in general, but the snug plug definitely comes in strong. The packaging feels high quality, with a lot of extras, including; a storage bag, charging cable (which is compatible with all b-vibe rechargeables), a sticker, user manual, and a guide to anal play. Overall, there is a huge feel of quality in everything, the shipping package was a discreet brown box, but the display box is an eye-catching blue and covers all of the features of the toy without being too much.
Materials and care
The final 10/10 nail in the coffin for the snug plug is the material. The silicone is extremely smooth and soft, taking lube extremely well, and just an overall excellent feel. The entire toy is waterproof and is thus quite easy to clean with a mild soap and some water, with no worry as to the safety of the toy itself. The storage bag feels like it would be small, but the plug fits inside excellently, and it has openings on the corners to allow the base of the plug to stick out. This is a neat feature as it allows airflow to the toy so it can dry properly, and you can leave it in the bag while charging, no worries about accidentally leaving a gigantic plug on your nightstand when someone comes over, as it will just be a small black bag. The silicone is non-porous and body safe, the website mentions abs plastic, but that is exclusively and completely inside the toy for the motor itself, and never comes into contact with skin. Cleaning is a breeze, just a simple clean with a mild detergent or toy cleaner and some water, you can even leave it submerged for a few minutes to allow it to disinfect completely.
Special feature
A special feature of this toy is it’s “torpedo” shape and weighted head. The shape allows for easy insertion and removal, while keeping the bulk of the plug surprisingly deep inside, and the weighted head definitely presses on all the right spots, ALL THE TIME. It’s quite long for a plug, with the thickest part being securely within the second sphincter, this allows the plug to stay seated and the sphincter to relax a lot more than standard shaped plugs, while the weight keeps reminding you that it’s there, and you will not forget it. This video shows just how quiet this plug is, as you can barely tell it’s on unless I move it right next to the microphone while on the highest setting.
