I bought these a while back when my husband suggested them. We have been doing **** Play for a while now, but were going to be having fun with a few people who were beginners. I brought these along, and SO glad I did. They are sized just right, graduated from small to a larger size on the end by the ring. The texture is sturdy yet flexible enough to bend in the best direction for peronal use. They are great for beginners because you can start out small and continue until most confortable. The ring fits perfect on one or two fingers for the perfect grasp and they are super easy to clean! I highly recommend these for both the advanced and the beginning users!
