As a first-time buyer of a vibrating toy, I was very apprehensive about choosing the right one for me. I chose this toy because it was a good value and I liked the idea of multi-speed action. This toy has been great for me, but when I first started using it, I saw that it might be a bit much for a first-time toy. Overall I was not let down, but for a lot of other first-time toy users, I can see how this toy might be biting off a bit more than you can chew, and here's why:

Girth - While girth is A+ in a partner, it can make a toy a little bit difficult, especially a toy that is relatively short like this one. The width and length of this toy makes it pretty hard to manually move around, which can be a bummer for those who like the in-and-out action. The wavy shape, while generally enjoyable, is not terribly gentle on smaller people. The girth also makes this toy IMPOSSIBLE to use without lubricant, and lubricant can make it difficult to operate the speed mechanism, which brings me to my next point...

Vibration speed - This toy has a habit of coming on strong. The lowest vibration setting is nothing to scoff at and the high setting is very high. The adjustable knob on the bottom of the toy lets you turn the speed up and down while it's in action, but as I've mentioned, can be a pain to operate once lube is involved. This is definitely not the type of toy that doubles as a clit massager; it is much too hardcore.

Overall, I'd say this toy is a great value, small enough to store discreetly, and a good time, BUT if you are looking to start off light, I'd recommend trying something a bit smaller and less intense.
