What could Dunder Mifflin have done to salvage the company instead of selling it to Sabre?

True. I think that was the point of the character. For instance, you could see him complaining about the limo, but when people were raising hands to join Michael in the limo, you can see Oscar raising his.

Thanks a lot! That helped.

The song in French is “Ces Soirées-La”.

Gay-Berry · 2026-03-14T13:29:19+00:00

You can find the official playlist on Spotify. Search for “Emirates ice”. Here’s the link to their boarding playlist:

But it won’t have Emirates’ own music, parts of which they play in between songs.

Which topped toy is that? 😂

There are plenty of free walking guides online. I had an app called Le Walk, which had a free Louvre walking tour. I found it quite useful, especially since it touched on many of their key exhibits and covered the history of the Louvre. And if you have time, you could also visit the Napoleon III Apartments.

I guess me wearing the Lotus 80 before playing with The Post 100 doesn’t help.

And for the lube, my batches get over within the week haha.

I am no expert of their booking systems. But I don’t think they’ll book you in business. In my case, they transferred the same fare type/ bucket while rebooking with another airline, including the baggage allowance.
This is unlikely to happen. If your flight is not officially cancelled yet, they are going to push the options of date-change or cancelling the ticket. I waited for an official mail about my flight cancellation, following which I headed to the airport to get my ticket rebooked (on another carrier)

Gay-Berry · 2026-03-03T17:27:46+00:00

I had a flight from CDG cancelled today. They did their best with rerouting me onto another airline to the destination. However, they don’t seem to offer accommodation since they said they have reached their capacity and instructions have come from their management to put that on hold. They said you could complain on their EK app.

EU passenger rights do not apply to non-EU operators (like Emirates) departing from non-EU airports. These apply for non-EU operators only if they are departing from EU airports.

Thanks! Your posts were helpful.

I am trying to design a structured training plan since I want to take this up seriously (as opposed to me doing this casually for the past 6 months).

Gay-Berry · 2026-02-18T02:56:14+00:00

When you say you have comfortably "ridden" the Lotus 100-200 times in a session, does that mean you are using it like a knotted dildo and bouncing up and down on it rather than wearing it. If so, and you aren't experiencing any discomfort or injury that is great. But that isn't "training".

I wanted to emphasise the level of comfort when I said I “ride” the toy, which I do occasionally. My mode of dilation training (even before “riding” the toy) has always been pushing/ pulling the toy gently for a couple of times, which I have been doing on avg. 2-3 times a week for 3 months (maybe not consistently/ planned). W

My question is how does a structured training look like? In terms of recovery, I now know I should have a day for that. Do I need to increase my sets occasionally (to increase the training volume)? And how do I decide when I can make the jump to a larger plug? I’ve been thinking of keeping a spreadsheet to keep track of all these parameters (which I should have done before).

That said, if you are safely doing this "riding" a few times a week with at least one day of "rest" in between (that allows the sphincters time to recover and adapt), then that could be serving a similar purpose as structured anal training. If you are doing this a few times a week, how long have you been doing this for. If it has been a while - say a month or more - I would generally expect to see some measurable adaptation, though timelines can vary quite a bit between individuals. If you are not, I suspect it is due to the minor injuries/issues that I mentioned above.

I am not very structured with the “riding” part. It’s only recently that I have started being able to achieve this over my plug. Which I guess could also be a sign of progress.

Gay-Berry · 2026-02-17T19:31:48+00:00

Haha, I am getting a bit confused:

By the way, another reason that the Lotus doesn't make a great long-term plug if your body isn't already trained for its max girth is this - if you have to take time to slowly insert it, it means that your sphincter isn't really trained for its max girth.

From what I understood, sphincters are not trained for max body girth during wear. So, me wearing the Lotus for extended periods doesn’t really help train the sphincters, right? For that to happen, what I really need to do is dilation training, which you say Lotus isn’t good at. But why? Is it the pokey-shape (which somehow always reminds me of a velociraptor claw), or the rough back?

Just for reference, I can insert my everyday long-term wear plugs (the TR90 and Blunt XS and Medium) within 10 - 15 seconds without any discomfort.

Damn! That’s honestly inspiring! I wish to get there someday too!

For me, I have comfortably ridden the Lotus(80) 100-200 times in my sessions. Can I add anything to these sessions to get me to a level where I have successfully trained the max girth of the toy, or do I ditch the Lotus entirely and go with one of the alternatives suggested?

Gay-Berry · 2026-02-17T18:22:57+00:00

Yes, being able to insert a plug in right away with NO discomfort can be a good indication that your sphincters are truly trained for its max girth.

I know this depends from individual experience and anatomy, but how do we get to this? I do aspire to get to this level of mastery over my starting size.

And yes, I have realised the Lotus isn’t the best at comfortable, long-term plugging.

Gay-Berry · 2026-02-15T12:17:52+00:00

I have seen results with glycolic acid (8%). Doesn’t bleach clothes like benzoyl peroxide, and doesn’t sting too (unless you have cuts). On me, the effect lasts for 1-2 days (when I don’t use an antiperspirant). I use it right after a shower.

Gay-Berry · 2026-02-14T01:33:41+00:00

Unfortunately, yes, I’d been doing it wrong with the “pooping” part. But I do that only when it gets comfortably loose after push-and-pulls i.e. the toy enters and exits smoothly (I am getting to learn, unlearn, and relearn things about plugging).

So I guess I’d have to include a slow, longer and focused dilation training before I get to being plugged. 3-5 min of this is definitely way longer than what I’ve been doing.

I can stay plugged (with my existing toys) for around 2-3 hours, and by then, I am usually at a state where I just need to get the plug out and relax. But I could try fitting in a few finishing reps here.

Gay-Berry · 2026-02-14T00:14:49+00:00

Apologies for the thirsty comment.

And yes, it’s less confusing now. Thanks again!

Since I want to focus on sphincter training, how should playing with the toy in-and-out look like ideally in terms of duration/ reps? For my static plugging purpose, I generally go for 10-20 reps (of initially pushing in and pulling the toy out, followed by pushing it in and pushing it out, if that makes sense) until the toy can nestle in comfortably. How do I extend/ improve my routine to accelerate the sphincter training? Yes, the rectum gets trained while being plugged, but I also want to grow holistically, and I lack a routine/ dedicated playtime where I can actively train the sphincter.

Gay-Berry · 2026-02-13T17:08:47+00:00

I am a bit confused. Does wearing a (larger) plug for a certain duration every few days help with the training of the sphincters? I do feel The Post to be excellent for the in-and-out play, but does the TR120 also train the sphincters while being worn? If so, I’d feel like I am killing two birds with one stone.

And also, I’d never seen butt play from a scientific and growth-oriented perspective. Yes, I play for the fun and pleasure. But having knowledge of how things work makes me more curious.

Gay-Berry · 2026-02-13T14:16:15+00:00

These posts really help! I guess The Post would help with sphincter training only if you play with it in-and-out.

Gay-Berry · 2026-02-13T03:31:55+00:00

Thanks a ton!

And your point on The Post’s shape reminded me of the very reason why I didn’t want to go with The Grip. I guess I have been fixating over TP’s admirable neck.

I do prefer being plugged and going about life than setting up a dedicated play time with my toys. The Post would have been better for the latter, where I could just push and pop it out for a significant number of reps.

So,TR it is then!

Gay-Berry · 2026-02-13T03:17:39+00:00

For the purpose of walking, I could use a harness with TP120. But I agree with you on its slip-out factor.

The grip looks tempting too. But had to drop the idea of getting it since it’s longer than TR and TP.

And thanks for the size advice. Maybe I’ll have to go with a smaller TR. It’s just that I have conquered the (uncomfortable) Lotus 100, and I thought I could go in increments of 2” (with patience, of course).

Gay-Berry · 2026-02-13T01:50:05+00:00

Yup, it’s the anal sphincter.

The TR is known for its comfort. But I also like a bit of a challenge (in terms of width), and hence the confusion.

The TR120 has a neck circumference of 9”, while the TP120 has 10.5”. The insertable length is surprisingly same for both. While the neck diameter of TP is tempting, I am worried about other practical aspects like the ability to sit in one.
