I purchased this toy to start exploring anal play. It wasn't intimidating and was fairly cheap in price. Not bad to give something new a shot without knowing how you will respond.

The toy comes packaged in your typical clear molded plastic which can hang from a merchants shelf. The jelly material is very supple and flexible, but without lube, will offer a lot of friction due to its rubbery feel, which is not fun. The toy is somewhat translucent and has a purplish-pink tone to it.

This toy is compatible with any silicone or water-based lube.

Seeing as this toy opened my mind to anal and I am still experimenting and enjoying it, I would say this toy is a great one for beginners. While it took a while before I could handle all of the beads,I enjoyed the toy every time I used it. The only downside is that it can be a little bit hard to insert due to its floppy nature. You need to hold the toy close to the tip to get it in, but once in past the second bead, it is easy to insert without additional support.

I found the experience of taking in each bead one at a time and also taking them out one at a time created a pleasant sensation.

Cleanup was not hard as I used simple soap and water, although as I previously mentioned, over time this cause parts of the toy to discolor.

Remember, jelly material can't be sterilized like silicone, so don't attempt to boil it, you could ruin the toy. Also, because of this, it can't be shared-unless you put a condom over it, which honestly, kind of defeats the purpose with the beads. To clean this toy, use a toy cleaner or a mild soap, although the latter may cause some discoloration ( which over time happened to my toy.

I found this toy to be a good one for a beginner because it offered progressive diameters in the beads. The first one is very small, about the size of one finger, graduating up 4 times to a full 1 3/4" diameter on the largest bead. The insertable length is about 6 1/2", but since the material is flexible and not very big on the end, it won't fill you up and doesn't pose any problems for full insertion if you can take the width on the last bead. The base also works as a suction cup which was an added bonus.

As I mentioned in my original review, this toy started to discolor over time. I found that I became overly frustrated with the flimsiness of the toy which made insertion a bit difficult. While I do think this toy is still a great one for beginners, I have found this toy obsolete after experiencing other products that were of higher quality, especially in their construction.
