I lost my dildo virginity to this one in college. I'd had a hysterectomy a year or two before and had never given the hole much love, so it took a long time to decide on the one to use. I knew that tightness and a big decrease in natural lubrication might get in the way. These were big factors to consider when I went to the store, as if I didn't have enough on my mind with first-time nerves. So I chose this one for the fact that it's slim and smooth, and not scary looking!

For some background and context, I'm FTM. Began transition from female to male in high school, and I wasn't comfortable with the idea of penetration until after the surgical removal of breasts, ovaries, and uterus. After a while, I became curious about what it felt like. I knew that even if I didn't like the feeling, it would still give me useful knowledge of what my female partners felt. (And this toy definitely got some points for having a base compatible with a harness, as well as a hygenic material that makes it safe to share.)

After spending almost as much time picking out a water-based lube from a selection that covered nearly a third of one wall (Gun Oil, in case you're wondering), I took it home and gave it a try. It turned out to be the perfect thing to start with. Firm but pliable, slim and consistent, and smooth. No surprising bumps or tricky curves -- just a solid, simple, well-designed tool. After I found that I liked glass and metal much better, it sat in a box for a long while until I used it with a girlfriend who was hesitant about penetration -- and she loved this little one, which happened to be in her favorite color :)
