Flexi Felix is best used either with a partner or alone. I've only had the chance to use it alone so far, and I love it. Other reviewers have said that it's best used with a partner, so I'm very excited to give that a try. This toy is excellent for an anal beginner. As the bumps get progressively larger, someone who is not used to anal can stop midway through insertion if it gets to be too much.

Being 100% silicone, it has no tastes or smells. It just has a velvety, soft texture similar to other toys made by Fun Factory. I like that the beads do have some give to them. For anal play, I much prefer this texture than to something solid like plastic or glass.

The design works with my body very well. I'm still a beginner at anal play, and I find the size of the beads to be perfect. They are not too big but are still large enough to be felt. The toy collapses nicely into a small plastic bag for travel.

I like the progression of size with the beads. If I wanted some anal play but didn't want something very big inside, I could just insert the first couple of small beads. The end is somewhat overly large and shaped like a bugs face. The face is complete with the two eye holes that doubles as a handle for pulling the beads out.

As with all 100% silicone toys, care is incredibly simple. You can bleach them, wash them in the top rack of the dishwasher, use soap and water, or boil them in water for at least 3 minutes. Boiling is my favorite and preferred way to clean my silicone toys. Silicone is very heat resistant, so there's very little risk of damaging the toy this way.

Packaging was a typical cardboard and plastic design. The toy is visible through the front. It is definitely not discreet. Unless you're careful when opening it, the packaging is not reusable.

The first time I used it, I pulled it out as I was about to come. The feeling was incredibly pleasurable as I could feel each bead passing by my P-spot. I've used it almost every time since then. The small size is great, because it doesn't start to hurt with multiple uses per day.
