I think that the best and only way to use this toy is anally. I don't think that it's very well suited for beginners due to the fact that it has no grips. You have nothing to hold onto while playing with it, which in my person opinion is a little scary. I would love this toy if it had something to hold onto. While playing, toys often are used with a combination of lube, and I think that could be dangerous with this toy. If inserted too far it could get "lost".

The material of this toy is one that I prefer. It was easy to clean, but upon opening, it had an odd smell. It feels slightly sticky to the touch without lube, but when lube is applied it gets very slippery. Each ball is very well crafted, they are very smooth. Mine didn't have any creases on it or exterior issues. Seems to be made very well with the exception of not having something to hold onto.

The design leaves some room for improvement. The shape and size is perfect but the lack of something to grip makes this toy undesirable. I wouldn't recommend this toy for a beginner. I think that there may be a lot of safety issues there that would make it unsafe.

As far as performance this toy is top notch. I love the way that it looks and feels. It leaves little to be desired. Once again, the only real issue was the fact that I have nothing to hold onto except the last ball while playing with it.

This toy is a breeze to care for. I just took it out of the package and washed it with mild soap and water then played and washed it again. I always wash my toys before and after every use. I think that's extremely important with ALL toys!
