Size: Max 2.5–3cm diameter. Smaller is better for beginners.

Neck: 1.5–2cm. Narrower is more comfortable.

Base: Flared base is non-negotiable (safety).

Top Beginner Pick

Aneros Helix or equivalent: £35–50, purpose-designed, perfect beginner size.

Common Mistakes

• Buying too large
• No retrieval/flared base (dangerous)
• Non-silicone material (degradation risk)
