Bauttplugs or The Bauhaus in you!

Anal devices gifted to collector Андреи Иакоумакатиев on the occasion of the Bauhaus Centennial Celebrations.

Tired of waiting for the next occasional celebration, centennial, quasquicentennial, sesquicentennial and everything in-between? NOW you can always carry the Bauhaus in you! The concrete butt plugs and anal beads will give you a thrilling sensation of uncomfortable modernity. The solids are heavy enough to constantly remind you of who comes first.

Limited editions of regional models pay homage to the school’s global reach: Greek marble concrete from the ancient quarries of Lavrion, Italian lapillo from the ashes of Mount Vesuvius, Portland stone from Dorset, England, and many more!
