X - 10 beads - anal beads by Cal Exotics - review by FriskyMisty

I had just started getting into anal play when I got these. I thought they would be a good step up from using a finger, and they were. They seemed a little long in my opinion when I got them, but I didn't think anything of it. Of course they also smelled (and still did 2yrs later when I tossed them) due to the jelly material.

I loved that the anal beads|X - 10 beads were spaced just far enough apart to allow for pausing. When you're just starting out, this is an excellent feature. If you just overcame a size that was almost too much, you can pause, take a breather, and then start on the next bead when you're ready. That was pretty much where this products positive aspects stopped.

The strand is curved. It kept wanting to spin different ways during insertion due to the curve. Once the strand was in all the way, it felt uncomfortable. It just constantly felt like it was putting pressure further up (pressure from the tip), like it was too long. That's when I started researching & discovered that inserting a toy further than around 8 inches risks tearing the colon, because that's when it turns sharply. This toy is 12 inches long, assuming that counts the loop of a handle, that still leaves about 11 inches insertable. This is when I decided that if I was going to use the toy any time in the future (which rarely happened), I wasn't going to insert beyond 8", which makes the beads very boring when you can't hit the larger ones.

After making that anatomy discovery, I would suggest against buying/inserting any toy further than 8". These beads ended up at the bottom of my toy barrel, and after 2yrs (of very little) they finally made it to the trash can. Between the curvature, the material, and the anatomy issue, these beads were not worth the downfalls.
