I wouldn't recommend the Blown Medium to a beginner with it having an overall length of 8 inches long and 7 of those inches being insertable. I would say he is a little girthy especially for a beginner and being a solid toy without any type of give, his girth is 1.5 inches in diameter. I would consider myself an intermediate toy user but often times I can't use toys over 1 inch or so in diameter depending on the material. Blown Medium has texture to it but it isn't rough or all that noticeable while in use. Being made out of borosilicate glass it has no give to it at all so if you are using this with a partner please note you will need to be careful. If you are super rough or pound away at the vagina or anus super hard you can cause issues such as bruising since they material is super hard with no give. Be vocal on what feels good and what doesn't when playing with a partner. This material is nonporous and can be sterilized if you plan to use it between you and your partner. I will explain later in the review how to sterilize your Blown Medium. Blown is pretty realistic for being a glass piece and being of clear glass, you can see the mushroom shaped head with the crease in it and where the urethra would be. Down the shaft there are veins that run up and down the shaft for a realistic feel when in use. There is a slight curve in the shaft which will make it easy to use for G-Spotting or P-Spotting (male).
With all that said you also want to check for any type of scratches on the surface of the glass, if you can see scratches run your nail over it or run the toy along your skin. If you feel any type of snagging from either tests its probably best not to insert the toy into the body as it can snag an cause issues on very delicate tissues.
