The best use of the Ripple is anal for beginners because of the smooth silicone and small-to-large gradual spacing of the ripples along the toy. Its smooth tip is rounded for easy insertion, which I found very pain free and as you insert it deeper the ripples get bigger which feels fantastic going in and out for anal stimulation. I would reccomend this to beginners as it is nice and small. Anyone looking for a bigger, more full feeling would't find it here because the size just isn't comparable to bigger toys.

The Ripple is made of silicone which is a super safe material that is boil-able and dishwasher safe and it is also Hypo-allergenic, Latex free, Non-porous, and Phthalates free. It has a wonderful smooth non-textured shaft for comfort, which is perfect if you're new to anal exploration. I will say this toy feels great and I absolutely love it. It's as gentle as your partners finger or penis would be. It is my go-to anal plug and gets used on a regular basis so I know if you get it you will love it too.

Length: five 1/4, Insertable length: four 3/4", Circumference: 3", Diameter: 1", O-ring compatible and Weights 0.3 lb... The Ripple also has a round flat base at the bottom. The shape is slim - it has a rounded tip where you start to insert it and a smooth finish for silky feel when it glides in and out. The size is just perfect for a beginner I think and it works great with a harness if you like to use one with a O-ring. You can sit this cute little plug on its flat base on a table or chair and slowly lower yourself down on it as I like to do, or have your partner use it in foreplay on you for an added pleasure to your tushy.

This little toy does an amazing job getting you ready for anal if you're new to it. It is O-ring compatible if you prefer to use a harness with a partner. It has some flexibility but is firm enough to stay put without being painful. My husband likes using this on me because I can wear it and have vaginal sex while it's inside me so I get double pleasure.

Cleanup is a breeze with the Ripple; since it's made of silicone as I mentioned above you can pop it in the dishwasher or boil to sanitize it without the worry of the shape changing or the toy melting. You can store it along with your other anal toys and take it along when you travel. For those of you that may be grossed out by the idea of putting an anal toy in your dishwasher like I was that's ok because a wash with mild soap and water will do just fine.
