This butt plug is a little large for a beginner to be certain, but it has worked pretty well. It has no smell, which is nice. I've had no reactions to the material - again, a very good thing! It's silicone, which makes cleanup very easy, though not for use with a silicone lube! We just use a simple water based lubricant, and haven't had any trouble with it.

My primary partner and I have used this in anal play. The ring makes insertion and retrieval easy, which is always a plus. It is wearable for longer periods of time, which is partially why I purchased it. I did have some trouble with sitting down while wearing it. The smooth neck that tapers right into the base can allow the entire thing to attempt entry, which is... uncomfortable to say the least. Being mindful of it has helped, and I've not had that problem again. It is not very good for wearing during vaginal intercourse though, as the same smooth sides that make it great to insert encourages it to slip right out. I also had it slide out while crouched down during some play time. But really, with underwear and pants on, or just as a warm up for anal play, it's great.

All in all, it's a great toy. A great price and a good quality material makes it even more worth it. It doesn't retain smells, which is a huge bonus for this type of toy in particular. It has a nice weight to it, not too heavy or light. It's large enough to be filling. I've certainly never forgotten that it was in, but is comfortable enough to be worn while walking around or doing dishes - which I have done. All things considered, I'd say it's a good toy for someone who is experienced in anal play and who isn't concerned with retention during more vigorous sex play, as it's simply not made to stay in during that.
