How to read the base and handle photos
Compare what stays outside and identify which photos show the exact model.
Find a view that shows the full base
Start with a photo of the whole model and a side view of the base. A face-on image can show the shape of a loop while hiding its thickness or the size of the opening. A side view can show how far a flat base extends beyond the narrow part above it.
A suction cup and a flared base describe different features. One describes how it attaches to a surface and the other describes the external shape. Compare both on the exact model and follow the manufacturer’s directions. Choose products designed for anal use with an appropriate flared base that stays outside.
Ask for dimensions of the actual component
Product width may describe the widest bead, the base or the entire item in one orientation. For a loop, ask how wide the opening is. For a flat base, ask for its outside width. If you are comparing bead diameter or strand length as well, use the anal bead measurement guide.
Match the photos to the selected version
Look at the name, color and model shown at checkout. If the same listing offers more than one version, confirm that the side view and the measurements both apply to the version you selected.
