Cal Exotic Silicone Tee Anal Probe 4.5in Purple

What this is

The Silicone Tee Probe in purple is a 4½-inch moulded silicone anal probe from California Exotic Novelties, supplied as a single one-piece item sealed on a clear clamshell blister card. The maker's own wording on the card front is "4½ inches of soft pliable silicone", and the product matches that description literally: one continuous piece of translucent purple silicone, slim and gently tapered, rising from a wide flared base. The card back places it in a four-colour range — clear, pink, blue and purple — and this listing is the purple.

It sits at the small, simple end of the sex toys category: no motor, no battery compartment, no controller and no removable parts. The whole item is a single moulded shape, which is why the specification list further down this page is short. There is genuinely not much to it beyond the silicone, the taper and the base — and for a lot of buyers that is the appeal.

The tee base, and what it does

The base is the feature the product is named after. Rather than the round disc most probes finish with, this one ends in a flat, T-shaped crossbar that spreads out to either side of the shaft, with an oval cut-out moulded through each arm. The packaging calls it "a secure grip", and that is exactly what the shape is for: the two arms and the cut-outs give your fingers something definite to hold and to pull against, instead of a smooth disc that can slip when wet.

A flared base is also the standard safety feature on any item of this kind, and it is the first thing worth checking before buying one. A base wider than the shaft is what stops the item travelling further than intended. On this probe the crossbar is substantially wider than the widest part of the shaft, and because the whole thing is moulded in one pour there is no join between shaft and base that could work loose.

Silicone, and how this one is finished

Silicone is the material named on the front of the card, printed as part of the size line. What the photography shows is a translucent purple with a high-gloss surface and no visible seam, moulding flash or surface texture — the shaft runs smooth from the rounded tip all the way down to where it meets the crossbar, and light passes through it.

Soft, pliable, silicone: those three words are the whole of the manufacturer's material statement on this card, and nothing here embellishes them. Silicone is a common choice for one-piece items in this shape because it can be moulded as a single continuous form, with the flexible flared base and the tapered shaft coming out of the same mould rather than being assembled from separate parts.

Product specifications

Using it comfortably

The card carries no step-by-step directions, so what follows is general practice for a probe of this shape rather than a manufacturer instruction. Use a generous amount of water-based lubricant, on the probe and on yourself, and add more sooner than you think you need it.

Go in slowly and let the taper do the work: the tip is the narrowest point and the shaft widens gradually behind it, so there is no need to hurry any part of it. Stop whenever you meet resistance rather than pushing through it. Keep hold of the crossbar throughout — it is the part built to be gripped, and it stays outside the body at all times. Breathe out as you go rather than tensing. If anything hurts, stop.

Cleaning and storage

Wash the probe with warm water and a mild unscented soap before its first use and again after every use, then let it air-dry fully or pat it dry with a lint-free cloth. Give attention to the two cut-outs in the base and to the curve where the crossbar meets the shaft, since those are the places water, soap and lubricant collect.

Store it somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight, and keep it from resting in prolonged contact with other silicone items, as silicone surfaces left pressed together can mark one another. The blister card does not reseal once it has been cut open, so a cloth pouch or a lined drawer is the more practical home for it afterwards.

Who it suits

At 4½ inches with a slim taper, this is one of the smaller items in the men's toys and women's toys ranges, and its modest scale is the main thing to weigh up. It suits someone new to this kind of product who wants something simple and unintimidating, and equally someone who already owns bulkier pieces and wants an uncomplicated one to hand.

Nothing about the shape is gendered. It is a slim tapered form on a safe flared base, and the anatomy it is designed for is the same for everyone, which is why the listing appears in both the men's and women's sections of the catalogue.

It is not the right choice if you are after vibration, a broader girth, or an insertable reach past 4½ inches. This one is unpowered and deliberately slight, and the card makes no other promise about it.

Good to know

This product is for adults 18 and over. Stop use and seek medical advice if you experience pain, bleeding or irritation. Do not share it between people without cleaning it thoroughly in between. Keep it away from children and pets.

California's Proposition 65 is the state labelling law covering chemical warnings on consumer goods sold there, and it is the regime behind the wording you see on a lot of moulded novelty packaging. Beyond the material named on the card, no chemical representation is made about this probe. For independent background on how those warnings work and what the terms mean, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment publishes California Prop 65 warnings (OEHHA) and a set of Prop 65 chemical fact sheets (OEHHA). Neither page refers to this product or to this manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the Silicone Tee Probe?

It is 4½ inches long. That figure is printed twice on the packaging — on the card front as "4½ inches of soft pliable silicone", and again on the reverse, which describes the range as "4½ inches high". No width or diameter is printed anywhere on the card, so none is given here.

What is it made of?

Silicone. The card front names the material directly as part of the size line, calling it soft and pliable, and the probe is moulded as one continuous piece — tapered shaft and flared base together, with no seam, join or removable part anywhere on it.

What lubricant should I use with it?

Use a water-based lubricant. Silicone-based lubricants can soften and degrade silicone surfaces over time, so water-based is the standard pairing for a silicone item and the safer default here. Oil-based products are best avoided too, since they are harder to wash off fully and tend to leave a residue in the cut-outs of the base.

Why is the base T-shaped?

The T-shaped base is both a grip and a stop. Its two arms spread wider than the shaft, so the probe cannot travel further than intended, and the oval cut-out through each arm gives your fingers a positive hold — the packaging describes it as "a secure grip". That crossbar is also where the Tee in the product name comes from.

How is this order packaged for delivery?

Your order ships in plain outer packaging, with no product imagery, no brand marks and nothing on the outside describing the contents. It will not show the Gear Isle name. The probe itself arrives sealed on its original California Exotic Novelties blister card.
