OMG, you put the thing in without any lube?!? Even the small one is huge and usually takes some stretching and prep to get it in comfortably. Kudos to you for not disappointing your Domme though.

Regarding the smell, I have never had Mine in use for that long (and it's always been covered by a condom) so I've not had an issue with smell. Try soaking it in a mild vinegar and water solution. It is supposed to be waterproof. This works for chastity devices.

I have only used it long distance once and didn't have any connectivity issues, but I have read other reviews where this was a complaint. Still, it's one of My new favorites. Thanks for adding your comments from the wearers perspective.
