first time ring

I meant width wise

Actually, the wider rings are considered much safer and better for beginners.

We are all different, I like snap or Velcro closure.

If it's a good measurement, go for it. It's best to start with a material you can cut off if you get scared instead of plastic, metal, stone, or wood.

Great for beginning

agreed. great for first timers

This is the ring me and my man just started using last week, we've used it several times now and love it. From reading, "they" say the thick width is good so that it doesn't cut in (ever put a rubber band around your wrist, to use later? With the same amount of resistance, a wider band feels more comfortable)

With a stretchy one like this , there's not a big learning curve....it's like one size fits all
