The beads are small, which makes this a great option for beginners, though a word of warning to beginners don’t let go of the loop while using the toy. The materials used made cleaning it a breeze but make sure to get in the cracks where the silicone holds the beads as bacteria will love to congregate there. If you feel so inclined, you can easily clean the toy in a 5% bleach solution to make sure you get all the bacteria. The toy is well made, however, if you already have experience with anal, then I would recommend looking elsewhere. I was disappointed with how small it was, but that is my fault for not looking at the measurements close enough.
