The small silk is a great first step if you are new to the toy scene and do not really want to try some thing larger. I had no experience with strap on toys and in all honesty was scared to try it but my girlfriend seemed rather interested and the small silk was just small enough not to be intimidating.

All in all the small silk was a pretty decent start but not one I think I will stick with for long (or at all after the first attempt). While I was pleased with the lack of pain I was rather disappointed with the lack of "punch" so to speak (I was pretty far from satisfied). Of course I loved that it was easy to clean (you gotta love dish washer safe) and the fact that the silicone doesn't have a strong smell was a wonderful plus but because of the short length the small silk has a bit of a tendency to slip out with little to no movement and a few times almost went places it really should NOT. The inconvenience and awkward interruption of having to readjust was pretty close to killing the mood.

To wrap it up the small silk is the perfect toy to break the ice but commitment is no where in its near future. It is only worth the investment if you (like I was) are rather iffy on the introduction to some thing new (and large), if not it is best to just pass up and go for some thing else (probably some thing bigger) or prepare for a good bit of disappointment. Honestly I gave up on trying to use the small silk, scrubbed the hell out of the thing, and gave it to my dog as a chew toy.
