What keeps a plug comfortable when worn for longer? Two parts matter most: the neck and the base. A slim, flexible neck lets the muscles close almost fully, so the body is not held open the whole time. A base that is narrow and curved sits between the cheeks instead of pressing against them when you sit or walk. The Supernova pairs a slim flexible stem with a slim, curved, firm AnchorTech base, which the maker describes as safe and comfortable for long-term wear.
Matrix Supernova: stepped beads for a gentle start
The Supernova belongs to the Anal Adventures Matrix range of silicone plugs. Its body is a series of beads that progress in size, which the maker recommends for beginners because each step up is small. The surface has a shimmering iridescent finish. It can be used alone or with a partner.
Below the beads is the StayPut section: a flared bump that leads into a slim, flexible stem. The stem ends in the AnchorTech base, which is slim, curved and firm. Together they hold the plug securely in place and keep it comfortable when it is worn for longer periods.
Best for: For first-time users who want a plug that introduces size in small steps, and for anyone looking for a slim-necked plug to wear for a while. The curved base suits wear while moving around, and the beads add interest on the way in and out.

How to use
Clean the plug with warm water and mild soap before you use it for the first time. Cover the beads and yourself with a generous layer of water-based lubricant. Take a few slow breaths and guide the smallest bead in. Wait until that feels comfortable before letting the next bead follow. Continue until the flared bump has passed and the muscles rest around the slim stem, with the curved base lying along the body outside. To take it out, relax and pull gently so the beads leave one by one. Stop if you feel pain.
Care
- Use water-based lubricant only; silicone-based products can harm silicone toys.
- Wash before and after each use with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner.
- Pat dry with a lint-free cloth or leave to air dry.
- Keep it in its own bag or box so the iridescent finish is not scratched.
- Check the stem and base for damage before every use.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Supernova a good first plug?
The maker presents its progressing bead sizes as suited to beginners. You meet the smallest bead first and each one after it is only a step larger, so you can stop at any point and build up over several sessions.
How is it different from the Matrix Gamma?
Both are beaded silicone plugs with an AnchorTech base and an iridescent finish. The Gamma is described with a rounded tip and three beads. The Supernova is described with progressing beads, a flared StayPut bump and a slim, flexible stem above its curved base.
Can it be worn for long periods?
According to the maker, the slim stem and the curved, firm AnchorTech base make it safe and comfortable for long-term wear. Reapply lubricant as needed and remove the plug if you notice soreness.
What size is it?
Measurements are not published. The retail package is 7 inches tall and 3.3 inches long, so the plug itself is smaller. The number of beads is not stated either; the maker says only that they progress in size.
What lubricant should I use?
A water-based lubricant, and plenty of it. Silicone lubricant should not be used on a silicone plug because it can damage the surface. Add more during longer wear, since water-based lubricant dries out.
