On receiving the Beginner's Collection, I noted how nicely it had been packaged. The colours and design are very pleasing to the eye, it doesn't scream "I'm a sex toy!" and it's definitely what I'd expect for a beginner's toy|Sex Toys 101.

Out of the box it came and in went the batteries. One thing I noticed about the massager is how it has two parts that screw, one is the battery compartment, and one is the on-off switch. I thought this was a great design, because some toys shaped similarly just have the one twisting dial so when you're tightening the top, the thing switches on at the same time! So, definite brownie points scored for that!

The vibrating finger sleeve is similar to many clitoral stimulators when the sleeve itself is removed; therefore I found there were a number of uses for this kit. It can be used without the sleeve as a vibrating bullet to masturbate, tease your lover; or with the sleeve for the same uses. It can also be inserted into the vagina if you're so inclined. I found this part of the collection more fun without the sleeve; otherwise it just felt "pleasant" on my bits rather than arousing. It was also great fun for giving and receiving oral sex, the partner giving the pleasure should do what they normally do, but place the bullet against their cheek to give the recipient an extra thrill!

The massager lives up to its name. Having experimented with it, I feel its only use would be to massage, or again to tease your lover by using it all over their body. On direct application to the genitals, it didn't really do anything for me.

The Do Not Disturb signs and accompanying cards are a nice touch. They are a game in themselves and can be used for many nights of passion, or indeed, to initiate them. Overall, a great sex toy kit for beginners wanting to experiment, exactly as the description says, but not for individuals/couples wanting to experience intense orgasms quickly.
