Im considering buying an aneros, but im on the fence about which model to purchase. Im 5'5", so im stuck between the SGX, which i know is more suited for my size, and the helix, which appeals to me more in general. the main website claims that the helix is a good beginner for everyone, but for all i know, thats just marketing jibberish. is it ridiculous to hope that the helix might work for me? if it is, does anyone think that there might be any chance of a wider array of products coming out targeted to shorter consumers in the near future? (like a shorter version of the helix)
thanks in advance,

wonderbeard,
In my opinion, I think the Helix will work fine for you, even though it is a little longer (+1/2”) overall than the SGX model for the following reason.
If you look closely at the two models, side by side, there is a distinct difference in the profiles. The SGX tapers continuously down to the handle/P-tab arm. The Helix has a definite “waist” about 2/3 of the way down from the tip. Once inserted, the natural position of the Aneros will have the narrowest portion of either model located at the tightest point of your anal sphincter muscle. As it turns out that point is approximately the same distance from the tip (which is the prostate massage point) for both models. So you can see that the Helix model will not ‘over-shoot’ your prostate as the MGX or Progasm models might.
SGX specifications
.65” diameter at tip
15/16” diameter at mid-ridge, circ. = 2.94”
1 3/4” from main body to perineum pressure point
3.5" from tip to base of stem
Helix specifications
1 1/16” diameter at tip, circ. = 3.34”
15/16” diameter at mid-ridge, circ. = 2.94”
1 3/4” from main body to perineum pressure point
4" from tip to top of the base
Thanks for that very informative comparison, rumel. I am 5'4" and went back and forth between the SGX and Helix too, but finally ordered the Helix. I have only used it a few times and thought perhaps I should have started with the SGX after all. But I will give the Helix some more time.
Wonderbeard, what model did you go with and what are your results thusfar?
