While the 15-inch Alterno looks longer and more brutal than necessary, the thrill-seeking anal players that this string of beads was designed for won't need to insert it the whole way to have a good time. I love that such amazing sensations are delivered to those of us who don't want to insert large girths but still want an adrenaline-packed anal excursion. WTP is the perfect firmness for both beads and links, and Alterno, all told, has made my ass glad.
