One product, examined · New Zealand

The one that lets someone else hold the remote

Most vibrating plugs ask you to reach behind yourself and fiddle with a button at exactly the moment you'd rather not. The Plug-ilicious 2 moves the controls to a phone — yours, or someone else's, in the next room or another country. That single decision is the whole product. Here's what 26 reviews say about whether it works, and the one failure that keeps coming up.

Where the money comes from. We run Coy, a New Zealand adult retailer, and we sell this product. So take the praise below with the appropriate salt — and note that we've printed the complaints, the battery failure rate, and the fact that this scores lower than several cheaper things we also sell. If we were only trying to move units, this page would read differently.

What it actually is

A 5.3 inch silicone plug with a motor in it and a Bluetooth radio. Four inches of that is insertable; the rest is the flared base that stops it going anywhere it shouldn't. It charges by magnetic cable, it's waterproof to IPX7, and Satisfyer put a 15-year warranty on it — which becomes relevant later.

5.3 inches overall, 4 inches insertable, next to a credit card for scale a bank card, for scale 4″ insertable 5.3″ overall
Modest, which is why reviewers keep calling it beginner-friendly. The flared base is the part that stays outside.

The app is the reason to buy it. You can drive it yourself, hand control to a partner in the room, or hand it to someone who isn't. Reviewers who like it are almost always describing that handover rather than the vibration itself.

Control passes from the device to a phone, in the room or anywhere the toy their phone same room, or any distance anywhere with signal
The vibration is ordinary. Handing the controls to someone else is not — and it is the only thing here that a cheaper plug cannot do.
“this little plug is AMAZING. the fact my partner can use this while i control and program the vibration from another location is awesome.” bb · via Satisfyer

Who it's actually for

Two groups, on the evidence. Couples who want one person controlling the other's experience — that's the dominant theme in the reviews and the thing the product does that a cheaper plug can't. And beginners, unexpectedly: the size is modest, and reviewers keep using the word themselves.

“Very beginner-friendly and still offers strong vibrations.” Jonas · via Satisfyer
A flared base stops a toy travelling; a smooth or narrow end does not Safe the body closes at this line flange wider than the toy — it cannot travel Not safe the body closes at this line nothing to stop it — this is a hospital trip
The anus, unlike the vagina, has no closed end. Anything that goes in needs a flange or a loop wider than the widest part of the toy. This is the one rule with no exceptions.

It's a poor fit if you want something anatomically shaped. It's a straight taper, and the most consistent design complaint is that it doesn't hold position as well as a curved plug would.

“The shape isn’t ideal-some curve and a bit more hold would have been nice.” Sascha · via Satisfyer

The part that breaks

This is the thing you won't find on the manufacturer's page. Across our corpus, battery failure is the single recurring fault — units that stop taking a charge after a period of use. It scores 40/100 on battery, our lowest dimension for this product by a distance, and it's the reason the overall sits at 71 rather than the high eighties the app and vibration alone would earn.

“It's a real bummer that it stopped working after some use. I think the battery's deep discharge might've damaged it.” Sebastian · via Satisfyer
Deep discharge: a lithium cell left flat can fall below recoverable voltage What reviewers describe charged months in a drawer topped up occasionally — fine protection-circuit floor below this, the cell may not take a charge again
The fix costs nothing: charge it before it goes away, and top it up every couple of months if it isn't being used. That won't rescue a genuine manufacturing fault — but it matches the pattern in the complaints.

The specific mechanism reviewers describe is deep discharge — a lithium cell run flat and left flat, which can drop it below the voltage its protection circuit will recover from. If that's the cause, it's largely preventable: charge it before storage, and top it up every couple of months if it's sitting unused. That's not a fix for a manufacturing fault, but it matches the failure pattern.

The 15-year warranty is the reason to buy it here

Satisfyer's warranty runs fifteen years, which is unusual and directly addresses the fault above. Buying from a New Zealand retailer means a warranty claim is a domestic conversation rather than an international shipping problem. That is genuinely most of what you're paying us for.

How it scores, and on what

These aren't our opinions. Each dimension is computed from what reviewers reported, weighted by how much evidence sits behind it. Where we don't have enough data we leave the dimension out rather than guess — which is why there's no quietness score here.

71
out of 100 · Worth a Look

Computed, not decided. Each dimension below is derived from what 26 reviewers actually reported across 3 retailers, then weighted by how much evidence sits behind it. The battery score is what drags this one down.

Ease of use 90
Body-safe 84
Performance 80
Satisfaction 64
Value 65
Battery life 40

Confidence: provisional. 26 reviews across 3 retailers is enough to see a pattern, not enough to settle it. We mark that rather than round it up. Products we've scored off two hundred-plus reviews get called settled; this one doesn't yet.

What you'll need with it

One thing, and it isn't optional. The anus produces no lubrication of its own — this is the single most common reason a first attempt hurts and gets abandoned. Use plenty, and reapply when it starts to drag.

It has to be water-based. Silicone lubricant degrades silicone toys, and this plug is silicone. Oil-based degrades latex, so it's out if condoms are anywhere in the picture. Water-based is the only category that's safe with everything here; the trade-off is that it dries out, which is what the reapplying is for.

The verdict

Buy it if the remote-control idea is the point — that's what it's for, that's what reviewers praise, and nothing cheaper does it. Don't buy it expecting a shaped plug; it isn't one. Charge it before you put it away, because the failure mode is a flat battery left flat.

At $114.95 it is not the cheapest way to buy this product, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. What you get here is New Zealand stock, plain packaging, and a domestic warranty conversation on a product whose known fault is covered for fifteen years. If that's worth the difference to you, we'd be glad to sell it to you.
