When I ordered this product, I thought it was going to be much bigger than it was. Of course, the measurements are clearly stated on the website, but I'm very bad at visualizing sizes. So, when it came in the mail, I was a little disappointed at its less-than-ample volume. That being said, however, I think it's a perfectly good backdoor toy.

So, as to the pros:

I loved the wide handle, which acts both as a flange to keep the toy from disappearing upwards into regions unmentionable, and as an easy grip for what are (for me) always slippery lubed-up hands. I also loved the fact that the whole thing is relatively firm and unpliable; it makes it much easier to push in and out repeatedly as opposed to a string of floppy beads which really only work well as a one-shot sensation right as one climaxes. I also liked that there were no weird angles, holes, or mixed materials in the toy to interfere with thorough cleaning after play. The initial, middle, and largest beads were sized well in terms of progression from smallest to biggest, and I found it very comfortable, even if a bit on the small side.

I think this toy would be perfect for a beginner to backdoor play who wanted to mix up their sensations, or who involves a partner in the fun. It's easy to work with, and is great for both repeated insertion/removal and staying in place while other play is afoot. Keep in mind, though, that if you enjoy leaving something in during intercourse, this does NOT have a flange that sits flush against the body. This could be either a pro or a con for you: pro if you like for it to be thrust against and moved around, con if you aren't into that.
