Something is a bit a "miss"

I felt that way too. Like the prostate is further along. The pressure distribution is what you're not accustomed to. This thing has a larger footprint, so therefore covers the prostate over a much greater area. Your mind is wired a certain way to adapt sensations outside your body better than the internal sensations. Trust me, it's RIGHT on. Play with it a few days, be much more gentle with yourself, and don't over do. The initial shock period can be different with everyone.

Hi Etyn!

Again, I think justfoundtheprostate is spot on here!

The Aneros is probably more mental than physical and your body needs to become accustomed to the new feelings and re-wire accordingly!

On rare occasion, I use devices like you speak of, for a totally different change of pace experience! Although, I would try and limit such
devices and traditional orgasms, during your initial learning curve.

Just my humble opinion!

Observation and theory:

Is it possible that non-relaxed inner sphincter is changing the angle such that the P-Tab is causing discomfort while also preventing the pivot action from nudging the prostate?

That would tend to explain a couple of different things, such as why a hand held tends to work as it avoids that issue more etc.

Just thinking.
