Quick answer

Choose the Small Ripple if you're new to anal play or prefer a gentle graduated start. Choose the Large Ripple if you want a fuller sensation and the option to use it as a harness-compatible dildo.

Graduated design makes a difference

Both Ripple plugs use a beaded, graduated shape that increases in width gradually. The Small starts smaller than a fingertip and reaches 1 inch at its widest bulb, making it ideal for gradual stretching. The Large offers a more substantial fill and can also be worn in a harness, adding versatility.

Material and safety are identical

Both sizes are made from Tantus 100% ultra-premium platinum silicone, so they're body-safe, non-porous, and easy to clean. The material choice doesn't change between sizes, only the dimensions and feel.

Small vs Large: tradeoffs at a glance

  • Small Ripple – best for beginners: Start with the Small if you have little or no anal experience. Its narrow tip and gradual bulbs let you pause at each step, and the 1-inch max width stays comfortable for most first-timers.
  • Large Ripple – best for experienced users or harness play: Choose the Large if you're comfortable with medium-to-large plugs and want a toy that can also be strapped onto a harness. The beaded shape adds sensation during thrusting.
  • Material and care are the same: Both are platinum silicone, so they're boilable, dishwasher-safe, and compatible with any lubricant. The only difference is size and harness compatibility. Clean both with soap and water or boil for 3 minutes between uses.
