Still life for the chapter Begin Here

Chapter I · Section 7 of 10

Reading dimensions carefully

Total length, insertable length, diameter and circumference explained without guesswork.

What to look for

Material is the single most useful thing to check on any listing. Look for a named material such as platinum-cured silicone, borosilicate glass or ABS plastic, and treat vague descriptions with caution.

More notes
Dimensions are not decoration
Manufacturers usually publish total length, insertable length and widest diameter separately. Read all three, and compare them to something familiar rather than guessing.

The guidance above stands on its own. Product guides are added only once an approved record exists; nothing is listed here that has not been reviewed.
