My Experience
This tool surprised me because it was actually wider than I could take in Month 1 Week 2, but it did not feel more frightening to use because the widest part wouldn’t go in.
At first, the rounded head was not easy to start. It needs the entrance to already know how to open. Unlike a pointed-head design, it does not give the body a small starting point, so I had to sit on it slowly and push.
But once it started to work, I understood why I liked it. As the head is rounded, there was no sharp point poking near my bend. The pressure felt more spread out. Another important part was the neck. It does not narrow too aggressively after the widest point, so I was not afraid of its sudden stretch slipping all the way in once the widest part passed my entrance. That made a big difference mentally. I could sit on it, control the depth, and let my body take its widest part slowly.
Improvement Notes
This is the one I want to improve and eventually make into a Rock’in Lab field test.
The original design and material is good, but I think it could be slightly firmer. Because the head is rounded and blunt, a very soft body can lose direction during entry, especially before a beginner’s entrance has opened enough. A little more firmness should help the rounded head find position and enter with better support.
The goal is to make the head not feel too difficult to insert.
