This toy is awesome for both the beginner and intermediate anal player. Two recommendations, 1. remove 3 smallest beads with x-acto blade. and 2. remove ridges (made during molding process) with as fine a grit sandpaper or nail file. Once you do that....well....let's put it this way. Where my g/f usually experiences orgasms (on a 1-10 scale) of at least a 7, more likely 8 to 10, this little toy may just allow her to get an 11.!! Enjoy!
