Based on a quick read-through, I'd say it'd be a good toy for a first-timer. It's made of silicone, so it's body-friendly, non-porous, and easy to disinfect - one of the best sex toy materials on the market. Based on the dimensions (1 1/8" in diameter, 3 1/2" in circumference), it's also fairly slim and not overly intimidating for a beginner. It's also a Tantus toy, and I own and have had good experiences with all their products that I've tried.
