I got this in the mail and was like "that's huge!" Originally was a bit hesitant to try it, but in the name of my review I did! Works great! I didn't realize that I had missed doing a review on it, so I've had it for years, and it still works just as well as it did the first time!! I'm glad that I got it!

It can be used alone or with a partner. Alone it would make a fantastic toy, use vaginally or can be used for clit stimulation, though that's not what it was originally made for. It could be used on a partner as well for even more fun!

Batteries last quite a while, which is a plus. I was using regular energizer batteries and this thing is NOT a battery hog! Make sure to always keep extra batteries around for all of your toys though, never want to be in a situation where you are out!

It could be used in the shower, but I would not get it submersed in water, you don't want this to get broken!! Your best bet is using it in the bedroom, or other places around your house if you don't have roommates!

I would not suggest this as a beginner's toy, just because of size alone, I can see how it would be uncomfortable for some. You don't want to turn someone off on toys from the start!

I can't recommend it for anal, once again because of size. Unless you are someone that does a lot of anal play and you know exactly what you can and can't take, I would keep this as a vaginal toy only.

Overall a great toy, I highly recommend! If you are looking for something to add to your arsenal, this is it!
