Is the large size suitable for beginners?

It is the large option in the line, so the insertable girth is a real stretch. Most beginners do better starting smaller and working up to this one.

How does the remote work?

The rechargeable, waterproof remote cycles the 10 vibration functions, so a partner can change patterns without reaching the plug. It needs its own charge.

What lubricant can I use with it?

Any lubricant works, water-based, silicone or oil, because the body is aluminum alloy rather than silicone. Use plenty for insertion.

The nonporous metal wipes and washes easily with soap and warm water or a toy cleaner. Dry it fully before storing.

How is this different from a silicone vibrating plug?

The aluminum body is firmer, heavier and nonporous, which makes cleaning simpler and gives a weightier feel. Silicone plugs flex more and feel softer.
