As my first ever anal toy, I was a bit nervous about using it. Despite that, I found myself pleasantly surprised!

The Silicone Slims: self satisfier|Silicone slims self satisfier is an excellent size for anal beginners; it's about the length of your pinky finger but fairly thick (more than the width of two fingers but less than three). It was very easy to maneuver as well. The controller, which was attached the plug by long and thin cord, had a turn dial on the side that was simple enough to use while 'in action'.

When I first pulled it out of the packaging, there was a faint rubbery scent to it, but nothing overly noticeable. It was also quiet; if you live with room mates or other people, they won't be able to hear it at all behind closed doors.

This is only a toy I'd recommend for beginners though. The vibrations are strong enough, but they aren't 'earth shattering'. The size is another issue. If you enjoy the feeling of being filled and have used other toys, this won't be big enough. I actually ended up using my vibrator as well for a bit of clit stimulation to along with it.

As it is made of TPR Silicone, it's only compatible with water-based lubricant. I would recommend Swiss Navy water-based|Swiss navy premium water based lubricant. It's easy to clean,as well. I use a spray on and wash off anti-bacterial toy cleaner, and it's worked great. So long as you clean it before and after use, it will remain clean looking and smelling. Make sure you dry it off before putting it away wherever you store your toys.

All in all, I would recommend this toy for anyone who's a beginner with anal play or is hesitant to try it. The Slim self-satisfier is a great way to explore what you like and don't like about anal play.
