Mine are a smidge smaller in width but slightly longer than the Blackmores pregnany & breastfeeding gold. I find them really easy to take, but then I don't have a problem with tablets generally.

Lily Dust - there is no aftertaste at all, but I found the actual capsule bit (not what's in it) had a bit of an odd taste when I put it in my mouth to swallow that took a while to get used to. I usually take mine with a swig of something other than water, or take a bite of toast after I've taken it. Its not an unpleasant taste - just strange.
