I have used this massager for both the intended purpose and to stimulate my wife's clitoris. The vibrations were more than I had expected from this little toy. The massager is made of hard plastic so go slow and use plenty of lube when inserting it anally. It is thin and smooth, which I think makes it perfect for the anal beginner.

This massager is made of a hard plastic. It had no smell when I took it out of the package. It is very smooth and gets quite slippery with a little bit of lube.

I did like the shape and size of this toy for my first anal experience. I think it would be less pleasing for a more experienced person but perfect for a beginner. It is waterproof which makes cleaning it quite easy. It does have one issue that I didn't like. It is not a solid piece and it appears that the head could come off, although I tugged quite hard on it and was not able to remove it. It will also fill up with water when cleaning, and if used as intended will get a little excrement in the head also. I highly suggest wrapping this in a condom before use. One other draw back is that it has nothing to stop it from entering you completely if you try to push it in too far. It is fairly long so this shouldn't be a problem but is still worth considering. It would travel well as it is not a large toy.

As far as performance is concerned, it did make me want to explore anal play more (even though I was quite hesitant at first). The shape felt wonderful and the vibrations were powerful. I think this is the perfect toy for a beginner.

Again I highly suggest using a condom with this toy. There is no way to clean out the head of this toy once something gets in there. It is compatible with both water and silicone based lubes. I found that I liked the silicone based lube the best with this toy.

The packaging was what you would expect from a $20 toy. Not much there and it is pretty self explanatory, so I guess I don't see the need to go into detailed instructions.
