This toy provides incredible prostate stimulation when simply inserted and left alone while masturbating or playing with a partner. The specially designed head allows for a gentle massage of the prostate as the anal muscles contract and move during normal sexual play. I highly recommend pre-lubing your rectum with high quality lube so that everything is comfortable and slippery.

The helix is made from a non-porous, FDA approved, medical grade, hard plastic that holds lubrication very well. At first I was a bit surprised at how hard the material was, and a little concerned that it wouldn't be comfortable. As it turns out, the hard material is perfect for putting soft but firm pressure on the prostate. It is a very easy toy to clean. I just use hot water and soap, and dry it well before storing it.

I love the design of the helix. It is truly a perfect entry level prostate massager, as it is aggressive enough to offer instant pressure on the prostate (VERY pleasurable), but small enough to be comfortable even for beginners in prostate play. The slightly flared head sits just above the prostate and moves up and down as the anal muscles contract and relax. The p-tab (perineum tab) extends horizontally from the toy's base and curves up to apply pressure on the perineum. This can be quite pleasurable, but gets a little annoying during really long sessions. The tab works very well to create a pivot point for the toy, and greatly amplifies the stroking motion against the prostate. This is overall the best designed prostate massager I have used.

The best aspect of this toy is definitely the design. It has a perfect balance between comfort (not too big), it is easy to insert, and provides incredible prostate massaging movements. Like I said above, I highly recommend this for anyone just getting into prostate play as it is very comfortable to insert and play with for extended periods of time. I must add though, that if you are looking to have a "super orgasm" (a non-ejaculatory prostate orgasm), be prepared to follow the Aneros' instructions and be very very patient. It is absolutely worth the effort!

The helix is very easy to maintain. All I do is wash with soap and warm water and then store it in the case it comes with. A beautiful, discreet red box comes with the toy, and it could easily be placed on a book shelf and mistaken for a book.

The helix is compatible with silicone, water based, as well as oil based lubrication.
