Is there anyone that makes a quality plug in this shape and taper but slightly larger? (5.5-6 in circumference) I'm a ways off from needing it but I'm also thinking ahead. :) I already have the "large" version from SF Leather.

(I know there's lots of junk designs in that shape and size range.)
I’m coming up to what was supposed to be 2 weeks of dilation with a 0.9 inch dilator (every other day). Insert and withdraw for 5 minute sessions. The first week went great, the 2nd week has seen me literally seem to get tighter every session. I have a small hemorrhoid that has gotten irritated from the repeated insertion friction as well. It looks like I’m going to need to take at least a couple days off to let that calm down. It’s really frustrating.
I’ve been using the Future Method dilators for 8 days and I’m still on the 0.9” one. (Going with the accompanying guide that suggests staying on the first one for 2 weeks even if it seems easy.) I’ve been doing 5 minute sessions every other day and I had gotten up to being able to get it in within 20 seconds of starting (after using a finger for pre-lube).
Today it took me a whole minute just to get those first couple inches in, and while there was never any pain, there definitely seemed to be some sort of tension/resistance going on throughout the session that was way less friendly than the progression I had been experiencing for the week prior. Is this normal?
I got the Future Method silicone dilators, they seem like they're going to be pretty great and a step up from the trainers I've used over the past couple decades.
I definitely still have some of my muscle memory because I was able to get the .9" one all the way in within 5 minutes with no pain. (Though I did have an issue with the water based lube thinning out in one spot that was kind of sensitive, but that was more of a friction than a stretch issue, and it got better when I switched to a thicker gel.) It's been out for about 15 minutes and some of the deeper areas still feel like they're getting used to the idea of having something in that deep.
I'm guessing that my MO should be to stick with this size for at least a week until it pops right in and feels comfortable hanging out in there for a bit before I progress to the next size up. (And then use a tapered plug after the last dilator to get to 5" circumference.) Does that sound like a good/safe strategy?
Hey all. I’ve been lurking for a little bit. I’ve read the guides on here and they are really interesting as an anal play enthusiast who’s read many of the standard texts on the subject. Especially the suggestion to focus on the gradual use of dilators over the long term for training rather than “work the plug in over 2 or 3 sessions until it pops in”.
What’s a good plug for someone who has a modest end goal of, say, a plug with a 1 inch diameter neck? Assuming dilators are used for the preceding training/stretching work? Also wearing for short durations, not even daily necessarily. (I just recently realized how big the “Xtra Small” SP Blunt plug is 😆 despite seeing it mentioned frequently here. I’m not looking for anything in that range.)
