Honestly, this was the first dildo I got and it is great considering the size, texture, shape, and firmness of the silicone. I found the size to be quite comfortable, to be just the right length and width to provide that feeling of fullness, but not overwhelming. The texture is quite stimulating, and the shape provides for easy penetration. As for the firmness, at first, I found it to be too soft, but once I got used to that it was a firmness that was just soft enough to be flexible. All in all, I find this to be a wonderful first-time dildo for anal and prostate stimulation. Thus, I would personally recommend giving this one a try for first-timers.
