Silicone Tee Probe 4.5 (11.5cm) Pink Color Cal Exotic Novelties

What the Silicone Tee Probe is

The Silicone Tee Probe is a slim, one-piece silicone anal probe from California Exotic Novelties, moulded in translucent pink and standing 4½ inches high. The card it ships on puts it in exactly those words — “4½ Inches of Soft Pliable Silicone” — and the back panel adds the detail that matters most in use, describing the range as versatile probes built “with a secure grip”. That grip is the flared tee-shaped base the product takes its name from.

One probe is supplied, sealed in a clear clamshell card. There are no batteries, no charging port and nothing to assemble: it is a single moulded piece with no moving parts and no controls. It sits with the rest of our adult toys as one of the plainer, more compact shapes in that range.

The tee base, and why the shape matters

The base is the design feature the name points at. Out of its packaging the probe is a straight, gently tapered shaft rising from a wide, low base with two rounded lobes — a T viewed head on, which is where “tee” comes from. A flared base is the standard geometry for anything in this category: it is considerably wider than the shaft, it sits flat, and it stays outside the body. It is also what gives a hand something solid to hold, which is the secure grip the back of the card refers to.

Above the base the profile is deliberately plain. The tip is rounded and tapered, the shaft is slim and even along its run, and there is no ridging, beading or surface texture anywhere on it. The whole piece is moulded as one part, so there is no seam, no joint and no internal cavity.

Product specifications

About the material

Silicone is the material named on the front of the card, and it is the reason the probe feels the way it does. Silicone is a synthetic polymer built around a silicon-and-oxygen backbone rather than the carbon backbone of most plastics, which is what keeps it flexible across a wide temperature range and stable in contact with water. Moulded, it comes out smooth and seamless, with a surface that gives under pressure and springs back to shape.

That is what the card's phrase “soft pliable silicone” is describing, and it is a fair description of the item in the pack. Because this probe is a single moulded part rather than an assembly, there is no join for moisture to sit in and nothing that can work loose with handling. Silicone is also the reason the care routine below is as short as it is.

How to look after it

Wash the probe in warm water with a mild, unperfumed soap before first use and again after every use, then let it air dry or pat it dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. There is nothing to disassemble, so a rinse reaches the whole surface.

Use a generous amount of a water-based lubricant. Silicone-based lubricants are worth avoiding on silicone items as a general rule, because the two share a chemistry and prolonged contact can leave the surface tacky or dulled. Store the probe somewhere clean, dry and away from direct sunlight and sharp objects; keeping silicone pieces from resting against other soft toys in a drawer is a sensible habit, as some materials mark each other over time. Give it a look over before each use and retire it if the surface is ever nicked, split or torn.

Who it is for

This is a small, plain, manual piece aimed at adults 18 and over who want something simple. The slim profile and short 4½ inch height make it one of the more modest options rather than one of the ambitious ones, which is usually what people are after when they are early in the category or buying a first item of this type. It is equally at home in our toys for men and toys for women ranges — the shape is not specific to any one body.

It also suits anyone who would rather not deal with electronics: nothing to charge, nothing to switch on, nothing that can run flat halfway through. If you want vibration, patterns or remote control, this is not that product, and the range has other items that are.

Good to know

• For adults 18 and over. Keep out of reach of children.
• The flared base is the part that should always remain outside the body. Do not modify, cut down or reshape it.
• Go slowly and use plenty of water-based lubricant. Stop if anything is uncomfortable.
• An item like this is best not shared between people, and if it is, a fresh barrier and a full wash between users is the sensible minimum.
• California's Proposition 65 requires certain warnings on consumer goods sold in that state. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment publishes general background on how those warnings work and a set of plain-language chemical fact sheets for shoppers who want to read further. Neither page refers to this product.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is the Silicone Tee Probe?

It stands 4½ inches high, the figure printed on both the front and the back of its card. The shaft above the base is slim and tapers gently to a rounded tip; the base itself is wide and low, so the footprint on a flat surface is broader than the shaft suggests.

What is it made of?

Silicone, described on the front of the card as soft and pliable. It is moulded as a single piece, so the shaft and the tee base are one continuous part with no seam, no glued join and no hard core running through it. There is no motor, no battery compartment and no charging port anywhere on it.

Which lubricant should I use with it?

A water-based lubricant is the safe default for a silicone item. Silicone-based lubricants share a chemistry with the probe itself and can leave the surface tacky or dull after repeated contact, so they are generally kept for non-silicone toys. Warm water and a mild, unperfumed soap will wash either off afterwards.

What colour is this listing, and what else does the line come in?

This listing is the pink one, moulded in translucent pink. The back of the card lists the Silicone Tee Probe as available in clear, pink, blue and purple, and the four are shown side by side on that panel.

How is the order packaged for delivery?
